At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.
It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. "I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down," says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.
Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week, Hewlett Packard Company announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet, the greater demand for printers.
Does all this mean environmental concerns have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away.
"I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of because of recycling," said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
23. What is the growing demand for paper in recent years largely due to?
24. What do environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation?
25. Why has Hewlett Packard Company decided to develop new technologies?
选项
A、They see a growing market for printers.
B、Small companies need more hard copies.
C、People are concerned about the environment.
D、Printers in many offices are working overtime.
答案
A
解析
预览选项可知,A)、B)和D)均与打印机或打印有关,而C)却与环境有关,与其他选项明显不同,故可首先排除。由短文中提到的As the company sees it,the more use of the Internet,the greater demand for printers可知,Hewlett Packard发展新技术是因为看到了市场对打印机需求的增加,故答案为A)。问题中的Hewlett Packard Company是听音的重点。
