And she says, “On top of often poor labour conditions for workers, the fashion industry is also responsible for 20% of the world
68、s waste water, and 10% of carbon emissions(排放).”This is something the fashion industry is becoming more aware of and has tried to find new crops of biomaterials to replace wasteful fabrics like cotton and leather. Examples include Pinatex, a leather-like material made from pineapple leaves. Its been
69、 used in collections by Hugo Boss and H&M. _18_ It is being used to create food, packaging and clothes._19_ The current farming practice requires a massive amount of water and insect killer. Eleanor says, “About 15,000 litres of water are required to make one pair of jeans, while 95% of its material
70、 is cotton.” So, buying organic cotton is a better choice. And there is also Tencel, a natural product becoming increasingly popular. Its made by taking cellulose fiber(木质纤维素) from trees and its production is thought to use 95% less water than cotton processing.Professor Richard Blackbum from Leeds
71、School of Design tells the BBC that creating sustainable fabrics is only part of the battle-buying reasonably, buying second hand and buying fewer clothes are obviously the more environmentally friendly choices for people. _20_ If one can do that, he is starting to be sustainable.A.

75、king these clothes and that many of them are made from non- recyclable materials.可知环保人士对制作这些衣服所耗费的大量能源感到愤怒,因为许多衣服是由不可回收的材料制成的。由此可知,这些不可回收材料制成的衣服只能被焚烧或填埋。故F选项“这意味着便宜的时尚物品将不得不被焚烧或填埋”符合上下文语境,故选F。【18题详解】结合上文This is something the fashion industry is becoming more aware of and has tried to find new crops
76、of biomaterials to replace wasteful fabrics like cotton and leather. Examples include Pinatex, a leather-like material made from pineapple leaves. Its been used in collections by Hugo Boss and H&M.可知时尚界越来越意识到这一点,并试图寻找新的生物材料作物,以取代棉花和皮革等浪费面料。例如Pinatex,一种由菠萝叶子制成的类似皮革的材料。Hugo Boss和H&M的系列都用过它。由此可知,本句承接上文
77、列举可以用来取代棉花和皮革的新生物材料。故B选项“还有Mycelium,蘑菇的根结构”符合上下文语境,故选B。【19题详解】根据后文Eleanor says, “About 15,000 litres of water are required to make one pair of jeans, while 95% of its material is cotton.”可知Eleanor说:生产一条牛仔裤大约需要15,000升水,而牛仔裤95%的原料都是棉花。”由此可知,生产棉花非常耗费资源。故A选项“棉花是一种非常消耗资源的作物”符合上下文语境,故选A。【20题详解】根据上文Profess
78、or Richard Blackbum from Leeds School of Design tells the BBC that creating sustainable fabrics is only part of the battle-buying reasonably, buying second hand and buying fewer clothes are obviously the more environmentally friendly choices for people.可知利兹设计学院的Richard Blackbum教授在接受BBC采访时表示,创造可持续发展的
79、面料只是战斗的一部分合理地购买,购买二手货和购买更少的衣服显然是对环境更友好的选择。由此可知,本句承接上文说明一个人应该少买衣服,故G选项“一个人不应该考虑买任何一件衣服,除非他承诺要穿30件”符合上下文语境,故选G。第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Jacqueline, an American actress, recently played a hostess for a black tea advertisement in Beijing.
