paper story
The history of paper is also the history of human culture and (1) … . The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans wrote on «papyrus», a paper-like material. Today’s kind of paper was first developed and used in China. Paper was the most important (2) … of information in the past. It was only with increasing paper production that the transfer of (3) …, education and information to a larger portion of (4) … became possible.
With paper emperors were able to administrate large empires more easily . In former times paper was a (5) … product, and paper making an art — an art that was often kept secret because of the outstanding (6) … of the product. Today paper has changed from a rare artisan material to a commodity product, with a high practical value in communication, in (7) …, artistic, hygienic, sanitary, and technical applications. Nobody can imagine a word without paper. A large variety of paper grades are produced to suit the special (8) … of each application.
Which of the following is NOT true?
1) Mass paper production requires complicated machinery.
2) Cooking and blending can be part of the paper-making process.
3) Originally, people used trees as the material for making paper.
4) Today, some people make paper the old-fashioned way for fun.
Paper surrounds us in everyday life. From books to packaging to money, paper plays a huge role in our day-to-day existence. Paper is usually defined as a thin material made from plant and textile fibers. Unlike fabric, which can be made up of similar materials, paper is not woven. Instead, it is made from pulp — a soft blended puree of usually soaked, cooked and blended material. Although often thought of as made from trees, wood-based papers only appeared in the 19th century as part of the continuous industrialization of the paper-making process.
Nowadays almost all paper is made using industrial machinery, although handmade paper is still prevalent in some parts of the world and has become a means of artistic expression.
Materials similar to paper can be found all throughout history. Some of the most common ones are papyrus, amate and parchment. Papyrus, made in ancient Egypt, is a thick material used for writing. It is made from the papyrus plant by laying strips of the plants side by side first vertically, then horizontally, and pounded together. The word «papyrus» is incidentally where we get the word «paper» from. Amate is a type of «paper» made in pre-colonial Mexico out of tree bark. And parchment is made out of heavily prepared animal skin. None of these can truly be considered paper, however, as paper implies a disintegration of its source material that is then pressed into even sheets.
True paper was invented in China during the Han dynasty around 25−220 AD. It was originally made by processing the fibers of the mulberry plant along with old rags, fishing nets and any other bits of old fabric, thus, historically papermaking was a form of recycling. Originally paper was primarily used for wrapping delicate valuable objects such as bronze mirrors and even as protection from poisonous substances. It started to be used for writing on around the 3rd−4th century. By the 6th century toilet paper started to be used, and by around the 10th century paper money first appeared. From East Asia papermaking spread to the Islamic world where the process was refined and turned from a smaller-scale practice into more of an industry. Papermaking didn’t become popular in Europe until the invention of the printing press in the 15th century.
Nowadays, almost all paper is made in paper mills. Industrially produced paper tends to be a lot cheaper due to the high production volumes and a lot more uniform. But these advantages come at the expense of the environment. The use of the harsh chemical additives in the mixture leads to air and water pollution. The large amounts of water used in the process is another reason for concern, as is the deforestation resulting from wood pulp being the primary source of paper production.
Recently, there has been a resurgence of hand-made papermaking, both as an art practice and as a way to recycle. Paper can be made out of almost anything organic from cotton to linen to banana peels. This means that paper can easily be made from bits of cloth, old clothes, as well as old paper. This type of material can go a long way. For example, an old cotton t-shirt and some old written on notebook pages could make over a hundred sheets of paper. With multiple colors of cloth and paper, dyes, and specialty items such as dried flowers that can be enclosed into a sheet of paper, the possibilities for paper creation are endless.

Советы по подготовке к ЕГЭ – словообразование.
Выполняя задания на словообразование в ЕГЭ, ученик фактически сталкивается с двумя проблемами:
- Необходимо образовать однокоренное слово
- Необходимо поставить получившееся слова в нужную по контексту грамматическую форму.
Например, если в результате словообразования получается существительное, то необходимо проверить, нет ли необходимости поставить его в форму множественного числа, если глагол – нужно подумать, не нужно ли окончание -s или -ed.
Поэтому, всякий раз, вставляя существительное или глагол, подумайте о форме.
ВАЖНО: очень часто готовясь к словообразованию в ЕГЭ, ученики забывают повторить отрицательные приставки, однако, подобные задания очень часто встречаются, а потому мы рекомендуем вам также следующую статью:
Отрицательные приставки в английском языке. Теория и упражнения
При работе с экзаменационным заданием вначале определите часть речи исходного слова и необходимую часть речи для пропуска. Сделать это можно в опоре на знание словообразовательных элементов и базовой лексики в принципе, с одной стороны, и знание простейшего синтаксиса английского предложения, с другой стороны. Так, например, в позиции между артиклем и существительным может находиться прилагательное.
Если исходное слово и пропущенное слово принадлежат к одной и той же части речи, что является частым случаем для имени прилагательного, учащимся следует подбирать соответствующую отрицательную приставку.
За каждый правильный ответ экзаменуемый получает один балл, т.е. максимум за полностью верное выполнение заданий на контроль лексико-грамматических (словообразовательных) навыков составляет 6 баллов.

The History of Paper
The history of paper is also the history of human culture and (1) … . The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans wrote on «papyrus», a paper-like material. Today’s kind of paper was first developed and used in China. Paper was the most important (2) … of information in the past. It was only with increasing paper production that the transfer of (3) …, education and information to a larger portion of (4) … became possible.

In former times paper was a (5) … product, and paper making an art — an art that was often kept secret because of the outstanding (6) … of the product. Today paper has changed from a rare artisan material to a commodity product, with a high practical value in communication, in (7) …, artistic, hygienic, sanitary, and technical applications. Nobody can imagine a word without paper. A large variety of paper grades are produced to suit the special (8) … of each application.
Before the invention of paper, people wrote on clay tablets, papyrus, parchment and vellum. In ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt and Iran, cuneiform characters were placed on wet clay tablets with a stylus made from a reed.
Parchment is made from the untanned skins of of sheep, calves or goats, and it has been a writing medium for over two millennia. Vellum is a finer quality of parchment that is made from the skins of very young animals, such as lambs and calves. Vellum was used to create scrolls, codices, and books.
Produced from the pith of the Cyperus papyrus plant, papyrus was used in ancient Egypt and other areas around the Mediterranean. The earliest evidence of papyrus was unearthed in 2012 at Wadi al-Jarf, an ancient Egyptian harbor located on the Red Sea coast. Dating from 2,560 – 2,550 B.C., the papyrus rolls describe the last years of the building the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Before the invention of paper, the Chinese wrote on pieces of bamboo or on silk, but silk was expensive, and bamboo was heavy. Officially, paper was invented in 105 A.D. by a Chinese court official named Ts’ai Lun, but in 2006, a fragment of a paper map bearing Chinese characters and dating from 200 B.C. was found at Fangmatan in northeast Gansu Province.
What Lun had done was mix together the bark of a mulberry tree, hemp, and shredded cloth rags with water, mash the mixture into a pulp, press out the liquid, and hang the resulting sheets out to dry in the sun.
The word «paper» was derived from the word «papyrus», Ancient Greek for the Cyperus papyrus plant, and paper was quickly adopted by the Chinese. It then spread via the Silk Road to other parts of the world.
Other Uses for Paper
The Chinese used paper for padding and wrapping, and starting around the late 6th century, they used it as toilet paper. In 589 A.D., the Chinese scholar Yan Zhitui wrote: «Paper on which there are quotations or commentaries from Five Classics or the names of sages, I dare not use for toilet purposes.»
During the Tang dynasty (618–907), paper was used to make tea bags, and during the Song dynasty (960–1279), the Chinese government produced the world’s first known paper money, or banknotes. Around 600 A.D., the Chinese invented woodblock printing, and by 740 A.D., the first printed newspaper was seen in China. During the Tang dynasty (618–907), China was the world leader in book production.

Papermaking then moved to Korea, where production of paper was recorded as early as the 6th century A.D. The Koreans created a pulp comprised of the fibers of hemp, rattan, mulberry, bamboo, rice straw, and seaweed.
In approximately 610 A.D., a Korean monk brought papermaking to Japan, and at locations along the Silk Road, paper was found that dates back to the 2nd century A.D. Papermaking reached Tibet around 650 A.D., and India after 645 A.D.
The Chinese closely guarded the secret of papermaking, and they tried to eliminate other Asian centers of papermaking to create a monopoly. But, in 751 A.D., the Chinese army was defeated by the Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Talas, and some paper makers were captured and brought to Samarkand.

The Arabs learned papermaking from their Chinese prisoners, and in 793 A.D., the first papermaking industry appeared in Baghdad. The Arabs also tried to keep the papermaking process a secret, and Europeans did not learn how to make paper until several centuries later.
During the 8th century in Samarkand, Muslims created water-powered pulp mills, and they began binding books using silk thread and covered them with leather-covered paste boards. By the 12th century, a street in Marrakech, Morocco was named «Kutubiyyin» or «book sellers street» because it contained over 100 book stores.
Papermaking in Europe
Thanks to the crusades, the Spanish learned to make paper around 1150 A.D., making theirs the first paper industry in Europe. The Spanish refined the process, creating paper mills that used waterwheels. The oldest known paper document in Europe is the Mozarab Missal of Silos, dating from the 11th century.
France had a paper mill by 1190 A.D., and by 1276, Italy had two paper mills. The first paper mill in England was created by John Tate around 1490 A.D. near the city of Hertford. In 1453 A.D., Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press.
Papermaking in the Americas
In the Americas, by the 5th century, the Mayans were using a material similar to paper called amate. Made from tree bark, the earliest example of amate was found at Huitzilapa near the Magdalena Municipality, Jalisco, Mexico, dating to 75 B.C. European papermaking spread to the Americas, first in Mexico by 1575, and then in Philadelphia by 1690.
In the 1830s and 1840s, two men on two different continents set out to make paper out of wood. German Friedrich Gottlob Keller and Canadian Charles Fenerty sought to pulp wood, and by 1844, they announced that they had invented a machine that extracted fibers from wood and made paper out of them. Fenerty also bleached the pulp, making the paper white. By the end of the 19th-century almost all printers in the western world were using wood instead of rags to make paper.
Paper, Pen and Ink
The new paper, along with the inventions of the fountain pen, mass-produced pencil, and steam driven rotary printing press caused a major transformation in 19th century life. They allowed for book publishing, schoolbooks, and newspapers.
Today, paper is made from trees farmed specifically for that purpose, and from recycled paper. Recycled paper is used in newspapers, notebook paper, grocery bags, corrugated boxes, envelopes, magazines, and cartons.
Paper mills also use wood chips and sawdust left over from industrial processes. In the U.S. today, more than 36 percent of the fiber used to make new paper products comes from recycled sources.
