【解析】本文主要讲了纸除了可以被用来做书和报纸，还可以被做成许多其他的东西。

1.考查非谓语动词。use与其逻辑主语paper之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词，填used。

2.考查冠词。世界上一半儿的纸被用来做书和报纸。表示世界上，应该用定冠词the，所以填the。

3.考查介词 + 关系代词引导的定语从句。on ___3___we usually write and draw ,作定语，修饰Paper，所以on ___3___we usually write and draw是一个介词 + 关系代词引导的定语从句，指物，只能用which。

4.考查比较级。句意为没有什么东西比这更暖和了。应该用比较级，所以填warmer。

5.考查名词单复数。每年，越来越多的东西由纸制成。“越来越多的东西” 是复数意义，用名词复数，所以填things。

6.考查固定短语。be made of 由……制成，是固定短语，所以填be made。

7.考查连词。当你有用过的纸杯时，你把它们扔掉买新的。表示“当……时候”，所以填When;After;As。

8.考查代词。“新的纸杯”是复数意义，所以用ones。

9.作目的状语，用不定式结构，所以填to play。

10.考查连词。You can put it up by yourself in a few hours与you can use it for about five years. 之间是并列关系，所以用and。
