• 3．Choosing what to wear can be a tricky problem，especially if you're a fashion victim.Trying to keep up with the latest styles involves regular visits to the shops and sometimes wasting money on expensive designer clothes.But when the fashion changes，these clothes are forgotten in the back of cupboards gathering dust，or just get thrown away.
     There are many stores that now offer cheap 'fast fashion'— low-price items that imitate the styles of more expensive designer brands.Environmentalists are angered by the amount of energy involved in making these clothes and that many of them are made from non-recyclable materials.This means that items go into landfill or are just incinerated，which is responsible for 20% of the world's waste water，and 10% of carbon emissions.
     This is something the fashion industry is becoming more aware of and has led to a new crop of biomaterials that replace wasteful textiles like cotton and leather.Examples include Pi?atex，a leather-like substance made from deserted pineapple leaves.It's been used in collections by Hugo Boss and H&M.And there's mycelium，the root structure of mushroom that's being used to create food，packaging and textiles.
  Cotton is a very resource-intense crop to grow.Eleanor Lawrie says "about 15，000 liters of water are required to make one pair of jeans." So，buying organic cotton is a better choice.And there is also Tencel，also known as Lyocell，a natural product that's now growing in popularity.
     "But creating sustainable textiles is only part of the battle.Buying second hand and buying fewer clothes are the obvious environmentally friendly choices." said Dr.Richard from Leeds School of Design. "I don't think you should consider buying any item of clothing unless you commit to 30 wears."
  
  （1）Which of the following statements is correct？

  
  A．Most people are not good at choosing what to wear.
  B．The fashion industry tricks people into buying fashionable clothes.
  C．Environmentalists are angry about buying fashionable clothes.
  D．The cheap fast fashion industry should be to blame.
  （2）Which word can replace the underlined word in paragraph 2？

  
  A．donated
  B．recycled
  C．burnt
  D．stored
  （3）What clothes is an environmentalist most likely to buy？

  
  A．Clothes made of cotton.
  B．Clothes made of mushroom.
  C．Clothes made of leather.
  D．Clothes made of Tencel.
  （4）What can we learn from Dr.Richard Blackburn's word？

  
  A．Clothes made of cotton will benefit the environment.
  B．Don't buy new clothes unless you make full use of the existing ones.
  C．Second-hand clothes can be unhealthy for wearers.
  D．Sustainable textiles will solve the environmental problems.

• 9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
      In July 2019，to celebrate his 45th birthday，Colin Dowler booked off a week from his job as a maintenance manager for the Vancouver Island Health Authority.He planned to spend two days on his own，finding a route he would eventually use to climb Mount Doggie Dowler.
      His wife Jennifer didn't like the sound of her husband's latest plan.She was used to Dowler going on adventures by himself，but this time he'd boat to an unknown bay，bike an unpopulated road ，hike through grizzly bear country，and camp overnights alone.There was too much room for disaster.
      The night before his journey Colin packed the necessities.He filled the remaining pockets of his bag with a handheld GPS，hiking poles，his homemade sausage，and a few other essentials.Instead of his usual Swiss Army knife，he took a three-inch stainless steel pocket knife given to him by his dad.
      The weather that Sunday July 28 was nice.Colin pulled his car into the Campbell River port and quickly launched and set off in his motorboat with a mountain bike on board.About eight o'clock in the morning，he arrived at Ramsay Arm，and found a spot to tie the boat near a logging （伐木）camp where he chatted with some logging workers.
      One of the workers，Vito，gave him a ride in his truck until the forest got too thick.Colin took off his bike and backpack from the truck and started his hiking and route searchjye.aig.In order not to lose the way back，he marked his trail with blue ribbons （布條）.
      As he made his seven-kilometer marker，he came around a bend and suddenly put on the brakes—a dirty grizzly bear stood right in the middle of the narrow road，30 meters away.Colin calculated his chances of turning around for a quick escape，but the bear could easily catch up and stop him before he picked up speed.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  2.請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
      The bear suddenly stood up in a threatening way.________
      After what seemed like hours，Colin came to himself._________
