Passage One
Question 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Natural rubber is obtained from rubber as a white, milky liquid known as latex (橡桨) . This is treated with acid and dried, before it is sent to countries throughout the world. As the rubber industry developed, more and more rubber was required. Rubber plantations (种植园) were set up in countries with a hot, humid climate, but these still could not supply sufficient raw rubber to satisfy the requirements of developing industry.
It was unsatisfactory for industry to depend on supplies coming from so far away from the industrial areas of Europe. It was always possible that supplies could be stopped by wars or shipping trouble.
For many years, attempts were made to produce a substitute, but they were unsuccessful. Finally, aw method was discovered of producing artificial rubber which is in many ways superior and in some ways inferior （劣的）to natural rubber. Artificial rubber is produced in factories by a complicated chemical process. It is usually cheaper than natural rubber.
At present, the world requirements for rubber are so great that both natural and artificial rubber are used in large quantities.
