Is it possible to make paper without trees Australian businessmen Kevin Garcia and Jon Tse spent a year researching a possible ___31___ that could serve as a possible raw material for making paper. Then Garcia read about a Taiwanese company making commercial paper out of stone and a(n) ___32___ struck.
A year later, in July 2017, they launched Karst Stone Paper. The company produces paper without using wood or water. Their source is stone waste ___33___ from construction sites and other industrial waste dumps.
“If you look at the whole process of how paper is traditionally made, it ___34___ chopping trees, adding chemicals, using lots of water and then ___35___, drying and flattening it into sheets of paper,” said Garcia. “It contributes to high carbon emission and deforestation.”
In 2024, Garcia estimates Karst’s paper production has helped save 540 large timber trees (成材木) from being deforested, 83,100 liters (21,953 gallons) of water from being used and 25,500 kilograms (56,218 pounds) of carbon dioxide from being ___36___.

The paper can be as thin as notebook paper or as thick as a cardboard paper and is waterproof, ___38___ and difficult to tear. The notebooks cost $10 to $25. Karst’s products are mainly sold through the company’s website, but are also stocked in 100 stores, ___39___ throughout Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. “Over 70% of the customers are US-based,” he said.
They hope to have the notebooks in 1,000 stores by the end of the year. Garcia said they are now thinking about ___40___ investors for the first time in order to scale up their operations. They declined to reveal how much the company makes or their annual revenue.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A （15分）
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
What happens when the right to know comes up against the right not to know The ease of genetic testing has brought this question to light. Two ___41___ legal cases – one in Britain, the other in Germany – stand to alter the way medicine is practised.
Both cases involve Huntington’s disease (HD), whose ___42___ include loss of co-ordination (协调), mood changes and cognitive (认知的) decline. It develops between the ages of 30 and 50, and is eventually fatal. Every child of an ___43___ parent has a 50% chance of inheriting it.
In the British case, ___44___ for trial at the High Court in London in November, a woman known as ABC – to protect the ___45___ of her daughter, who is a minor – is charging a London hospital, St. George’s Healthcare NHS Trust, for not ___46___ her father’s diagnosis of HD with her. ABC was pregnant at the time of his diagnosis, in 2009. She argues that had she been aware of it, she would have stopped the pregnancy. As it was, she found out only after giving birth to her daughter. She later tested ___47___ for HD.
The German case is in some ways the mirror image of the British one. Unlike in Britain, in Germany the right not to know genetic information is protected in law. ___48___, in 2011 a doctor informed a woman that her divorced husband – the doctor’s patient – had tested positive for HD. This meant their two children were ___49___ the disease. She accused the doctor, who had acted with his patient’s permission. Both children being minors at the time, they could not legally be tested for the disease, which, as the woman’s lawyers pointed out, is currently ___50___. They argued that she was therefore helpless to act on the information, and ___51___ suffered a reactive depression that prevented her from working.
Both cases test a legal grey area. If the right to know is ___52___ recognized in Britain later this year, that may remove some uncertainties, but it will also create new ones. To what lengths should doctors go to track down and inform family members, ___53___
It is the law’s job to ___54___ these rights for the modern age. When the law falls behind technology, somebody often pays the price, and currently that somebody is ___55___. As these two cases demonstrate, they find themselves in a difficult situation – charged if they do, accused if they don’t.
