30、tion BDirections:In this section,you are going to read a passage with tenstatements attached to it.Each statement contains informationgiven in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from whichthe information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more thanonce.Each paragraph is marked with a le

31、tter.Paper-More than Meets the EyeA)We are surrounded by so much paper and card that it iseasy to forget just how complex it is.There are many varieties andgrades of paper materials,and whilst it is fairly easy to spot thevarieties,it is far more difficult to spot the grades.B)It needs to be underst

32、ood that most paper and card ismanufactured for a specific purpose,so that whilst the corn-flakepacket may look smart,it is clearly not something destined for thearchives.It is made to look good,but only needs a limited life span.It is also much cheaper to manufacture than high grade card.C)Paper ca

33、n be made from an almost endless variety ofcellulose-based material which will include many woods,cottonsand grasses or which papyrus is an example and from where weget the word paper.Many of these are very specialized,but thepreponderance of paper making has been from soft wood andcotton or rags,wi

34、th the bulk being wood-based.Paper from WoodD)In order to make wood into paper it needs to be brokendown into fine strands.Firstly by powerful machinery and thenboiled with strong alkalies such as caustic soda,until a fine pulp ofcellulose fibers is produced.It is from this pulp that the final produ

35、ctis made,relying on the bonding together of the cellulose into layers.That,in a very small nutshell,is the essence of paper making fromwood.However,the reality is rather more complicated.In order togive us our white paper and card,the makers will add bleach andother materials such as china clay and

36、 additional chemicals.E)A further problem with wood is that it contains a materialthat is not cellulose.Something called lignin.This is essential forthe tree since it holds the cellulose fibres together,but if it isincorporated into the manufactured paper it presents archivists witha problem.Lignin

37、eventually breaks down and releases acidproducts into the paper.This will weaken the bond between thecellulose fibers and the paper will become brittle and look ratherbrown and careworn.We have all seen this in old newspapers andcheap paperback books.It has been estimated that most paperback books w

38、ill have a life of not greater than fifty years.Not whatwe need for our archives.F)Since the lignin can be removed from the paper pulp duringmanufacture,the obvious question is why is it left in the paper?The answer lies in the fact that lignin makes up a considerable partof the tree.By leaving the

39、lignin in the pulp a papermaker canincrease his paper yield from a tree to some 95%.Removing itmeans a yield of only 35%.It is clearly uneconomic to remove thelignin for many paper and card applications.G)It also means,of course,that lignin-free paper is going to bemore expensive,but that is neverth

40、eless what the archivist mustlook for in his supplies.There is no point whatsoever in carefullyplacing our valuable artifacts in paper or card that is going tohasten their demise.Acid is particularly harmful to photographicmaterials,causing them to fade and is some cases simply vanish!H)So,how do we

41、 tell a piece of suitable paper or card fromone that is unsuitable?You cannot do it by simply looking,andrather disappointingly,you cannot always rely on the label.Acid-free might be true inasmuch as a test on the paper mayindicate that it is a neutral material at this time.But lignin can takeyears

42、before it starts the inevitable process of breaking down,andin the right conditions it will speed up enormously.I)Added to this,as I have indicated earlier,paper may alsocontain other materials added during manufacture such as bleach,china clay,chemical Whiteners and size.This looks like a bleakpict

43、ure,and it would be but for the fact that there are suppliers whowill guarantee the material that they sell.If you want to beabsolutely sure that you are storing in,or printing on,the correctmaterial then this is probably the only way.J)Incidentally,acids can migrate from material to material.Lining

44、 old shoe boxes with good quality acid-free paper will do littleto guard the contents.The acid will get there in the end.Paper from RagK)Paper is also commonly made from cotton and rag waste.This has the advantage of being lignin-free,but because there ismuch less cotton and rag than trees,it also t

45、ends to be much moreexpensive than wood pulp paper.You will still need to purchasefrom a reliable source though,since even rag paper and card cancontain undesirable additives.L)A reliable source for quality rag papers is a recognized artstockiest.Many water color artists insist on using only fine qu

46、alityrag paper and board.M)The main lesson to learn from this information is that youcannot rely on purchasing archival materials from the high street.The only safe solution is to purchase from specialist suppliers.Itmay cost rather more,but in the end you will know that yourimportant and valuable d

47、ata and images have the best homepossible.46.The corn-flake packet is cheaper than high grade card.47.There are a lot of materials which can be used for makingpaper,but the superiority ones are soft wood,cotton and rags.48.During the whole manufacturing process,the final productis made from a pulp o

48、f cellulose fibres.49.In order to make white paper and card,the makers will addbleach.50.Liguin is essential for the tree but it will make paper easy tobreak.51.Many paper producers will preserve lignin duringmanufacture,because leaving the lignin will make more paper froma tree.52.Acid is particula

49、rly harmful to photographic materials.53.If the lignin is removed from the paper,the paper will bemore expensive.54.Although free of lignin,paper made from cotton and ragwaste can also cost more money than wood pulp paper becausethere is much less cotton and rag than trees.55.What we can learn from

50、Paper from Rag is that you hadbetter buy archival materials from specialist suppliers.Section CIt is hard to predict how science is going to turn out,and if it is reallygood science it is impossible to predict.If the things to be found areactually new,they are by definition unknown in advance.Youcan
