     Mrs. Hunt is sixty years old. She lives in a farmhouse in the country with her dog Bill. Her son Sam is

twenty-one years old. At first, he works in a shop in the country and lives with his mother. But now he finds

new work in a town and lives there. It's quite a long way from his mother's house. She isn't happy about this.

and give you some every week."

     One day Mrs. Hunt goes to see her son, and she goes there by train. Sam meets her at the train station. She

单项选择题

加拿大某公司建造了一座示范厂,是用酒精造纸浆的,而不是硫磺。该公司董事长佩蒂说:“这是未来之路。用酒精制造纸浆意味着出现一种清洁、无污染的技术。”
如果在小规模工厂里取得成功的技术也能在正式规模的工厂里生产出较便宜的纸浆,它将对纸价产生影响。这项技术还能消除造纸工业常有的臭鸡蛋味——硫化氢的气味。
该公司使用的这种工艺叫ALCELL(即酒精ALCOHOL和纤维素CELLULOSE的合成词),它使用酒精和水代替硫磺把木材分解成纸浆。这种工艺是加拿大在1972年发明的,以前从来没有实现商品化,但是这家公司希望它能使造纸工业发生彻底变革。
佩蒂说:“建造一座新的纸浆厂要耗资10亿美元,而且它要求木材供应源源不断。如有ALCELL工艺,只要耗资3.5亿美元就能建造一个工厂,并使工厂不停地运转,所需术材供应量较小。”他又说:“那意味着一个工厂一天生产350吨而不是1000吨纸浆。”林业产品分析家邓肯森说:“从环境方面来说,它比较清洁,而且小型厂这个概念将会使建造新纸浆厂变得较容易。”这种工艺取得成功,它将能以较低的成本生产纸浆。

下列说法,符合原文意思的一项是:

A.造纸工业常会产生难闻的臭鸡蛋味——硫化氢的气味,这是因为在制造纸浆的过程中使用了硫磺。
B.运用ALCELL工艺制造纸浆,使用酒精和水而不使用硫磺,因而避免了难闻的臭鸡蛋味——硫化氢的气味的产生。
C.ALCELL工艺的一个突出的特点,是使用酒精和水而不是使用硫磺把木材分解成纸浆,所以不会产生难闻的硫化氢的气味。
D.造纸工业通常以硫磺而不是以酒精和水为主要原料来制造纸浆,因而很难避免难闻的硫化氢的气味的产生。
