【解析】

文章大意：短文讲述了纸主要用于书籍和报纸，详细介绍了在将来纸的各种用途等。

1.句意：当我们想到纸的时候，我们想到报纸和书。

apples苹果；books书；eats吃。报纸和书是一类事物，故答案为B。

2.句意：世界上仅有一半的纸被用于书和报纸。

is used一般现在时的被动语态，主语是第三人称单数；B. used一般过去时；C. are used一般现在时的被动语态，主语是复数形式。主语和动词之间是被动关系，并且句子的主语Only half of the world's paper是第三人称单数，故答案为A。

3.句意：纸有助于保暖。

your你的、你们的，形容词性物主代词；B. you你、你们，主格或宾格代词；C. yourself你自己、你们自己，反身代词。空处的词在代词keep之后，故排除A项；再结合句意，应为宾格代词you，故答案为B。

4.句意：在芬兰，冬天有时-40℃。

sometime将来或过去的某个时候；some times几次；sometimes有时。根据句意可知，故答案为C。

5.句意：没有比这更暖和的了。

warmer更暖和；warm暖和；cold冷。根据句意可知，故答案为A。

6.句意：我们已经有纸杯子和纸盘子好长时间了。

had bought已经买，过去完成时；have had已经有，现在完成时；had had已经有，过去完成时。根据下句“But now we hear that chairs, tables, and even beds can be made ____7____ paper.”但是现在我们听说椅子，桌子甚至床也可能是纸制成的可知，上句意思应为“我们已经有纸杯子和纸盘子好长时间了”，时态应为现在完成时，故答案为B。

7.句意：但是现在我们听说椅子，桌子甚至床也可以是纸制成的。

make for为……制造；make from由……制成，看不出原材料；make of由……制成，可以看出原材料。根据句意，排除A项；制成的这写东西能看出原料，排除B项，故答案为C。

8.句意：当你用过它们一次，就把它们扔掉，然后买新的。

and和、又，表示顺承；so因此，表示结果；but但是，表示转折。根据句意可知，空处的词是表示顺承，故答案为A。

9.句意：纸的最新应用似乎是纸房子。

newspaper报纸；tables桌子；houses房子。根据下句“These are not small houses for children to play in, but real, big houses for people ____10____. ”这些不是给孩子们玩的小房子，而是真的给人们居住得大房子可知，故答案为C。

10.句意：这些不是给孩子们玩的小房子，而是真的给人们居住得大房子。

to live动词不定式，居住；to live in动词不定式，居住；living现在分词，居住。根据句意可知，动词和被修饰词之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以空处应是动词不定式作定语后置；而动词live是不及物动词，所以要加介词in，故答案为B。
