问题 Nothing divided the medieval world in Europe more decisively from the Early Modern period than printing with movable type. It was a German invention and the culmination of a complex process. The world of antiquity had recorded its writings mainly on papyrus. Between 200 B.C. and 300 A.D., this was supplemented by vellum, calf skin treated and then smoothed by pumice stone. To this in late Roman times was added parchment, similarly made from the smoothed skin of sheep or goats.
The word "this" in the passage refers to________.
选项 A、parchment
B、pumice stone
C、calf skin
D、papyrus
答案D
解析 这段话主要介绍了几种用来书写的材料。早期最主要的是“纸莎草纸”(The world of antiquity had recorded its writings mainly on papyrus)。之后又添加、补充(supplement)了vellum“牛皮纸”(was supplemented by vellum)，而补充的前提是纸莎草纸的存在。由此可知，此处的this指代的就是纸莎草纸，故选D项。
