0906PassageOneQuestions 1to 5are based onthe following passage.The January fashion show,calledFutureFashion ,exemplified how far green design has come.Organized by the NewYork-based nonprofit Earth Pledge,the show inspired many top designers to workwith sustainable fabrics for the first time.Several have since made pledges toinclude organic fabrics in their lines.The designers who undertake green fashionstill face many challenges.Scott Hahn,cofounder with Gregory of Rogan andLoomstate,which uses all-organic cotton,says high-quality sustainable materialscan still be tough to fine .“Most designers with existing labels are findingthere aren’t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you’re doing andshat your customers are used to,”he says.For example,organic cotton andnon-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress.Butsome popular synthetics,like stretch nylon,still have few eco-friendlyequivalents.Those who do make the switch are findingthey have more support.Last year the influential trade show Designers &Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs(企业家)who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angelesand New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are atleast 25%sustainable .It now counts more than 50green designers,up fromfewer than a dozen two years ago.This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a majorinitiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic:it will buy transitional(过渡型的)cotton at higher prices ,thus helping to expandthe supply of a key sustainable material .“Mainstream is about to occur,”saysHahn.Someanalysts(分析师)are less sure .Among consumers,only18%are even aware that ecofashion exists,up from 6%four years ago.NatalieHormilla,a fashion writer,is an example of the unconverted consumer,whenasked if she owned any sustainable clothes,she replied:“Not that I’m aware of.”Like most consumers,she finds little time to shop,and when she does,she’s onthe hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.”By her own admission,greenjust isn’t yet on her mind.But –thanks to the combined efforts of designers,retailers and suppliers –one day it will be.1.What is saidabout FutureFashion?A)It inspired many leading designers to start going green.B)It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.C)It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.D)It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable.2.According to Scott Hahn,one bigchallenge to designers who will go organic is that .A)much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainablematerials .B)they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materials.C)customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materials.D)quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available.3.We learn from Paragraph 3thatdesigners who undertake green fashion .A)can attend various trade shows free .B)are readily recognized by the fashion worldC)can buy organic cotton at favorable prices .D)are gaining more and more support .4.What is Natalie Hormilla’s attitudetoward ecofashion?A)She doesn’t seem to care about it.C)She is doubtful of its practical value.B)She doesn’t think it is sustainable D)She is very much opposed tothe idea5.What does the author think of greenfashion?A)Green products will soon go mainstream.B)It has a very promising future.C)Consumers have the final say.D)It will appeal more to young people.Passage TwoQuestions 6to 10are based on the following passage.Scientistshave devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a strand(缕)of hair ,a technique that could help track themovements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims .Themethod relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up inpeople’s hair.“You’rewhat you eat and drink,and that’s recorded in you hair,”said Thure Cerling,ageologist at the University of Utah.WhileU.Sdiet is relatively identical,water supplies vary.The differences resultfrom weather patterns.The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly asraid clouds move.Mosthydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable ,but traces of both elements arealso present as heavier isotopes (同位素).The heaviest raid falls first .As a result,storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to Californiathan to Utah.Similarpatterns exist throughout theU.S.By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strandof hair,scientists can construct a geographic timeline.Each inch of haircorresponds to about two months.Cerling’steam collected tap water samples from 600cities and constructed a mop of theregional differences.They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200hairsamples collected from 65barber shops.Theywere able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly correspondingto the movement of raid systems.“It’snot good for pinpointing (精确定位),”Cerling said .“It’s good for eliminatingmany possibilities.”ToddPark,a local detective,said the method has helped him learn more about anunidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.Thewoman was 5feet tall.Police recovered 26bones,a T-shirt and several strandsof hair.WhenPark heard about the research,he gave the hair samples to the researchers.Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death,she movedabout every two months.Shestayed in the Northwest,although the test could not be more specific thansomewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.“It’sstill a substantial area,”Park said “But it narrows it way down for me.”6.What is thescientists’new discovery?A)One’s hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drink.B)Aperson’s hair may reveal where they have lived.C)Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects.D)The chemical composition of hair varies from person to person.7.What does theauthor mean by “You’re what you eat and drink”(Line 1,Para.3)?A)Food and drink affect one’s personality development.B)Food and drink preferences vary with individuals.C)Food and drink leave traces in one’s body tissues.D)Food and drink are indispensable to one’s existence.8.What is saidabout the rainfall inAmerica’sWest?A)There is much more rainfall in California thanin Utah.B)The water it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland.C)Its chemical composition is less stable than in other areas.D)It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward.9.What didCerling’s team produce in their research?A)Amap showing the regional differences of tap water.B)Acollection of hair samples from various barber shops.C)Amethod to measure the amount of water in human hair.D)Achart illustrating the movement of the rain system.10.What is the practicalvalue of Cerling’s research?A)It helps analyze the quality of water in different regions.B)It helps the police determine where a crime is committed.C)It helps the police narrow down possibilities in detective work.D)It helps identify the drinking habits of the person under investigation
