    The main idea of the passage is that . A. technology can help in the fight against hunger B. America’s Second Harvest has found more donors C. America’s Second Harvest promotes the development of technology D. hunger is a problem even in the wealthiest country in the world C The January fashion show, called FutureFashion, exemplified how far green design has come. Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines. The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find. “Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you’re doing and what your customers are used to, he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents. Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material. “Mainstream is about to occur, says Hahn. Some analysts are less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer. When asked 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 on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too expensive. By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind. But-thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers-one day it will be. 66. What is said about 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. 【查看更多】

     

    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    Common indoor plants may prove to be a valuable weapon in the fight against rising levels of indoor air pollution. Those plants in your office or home are not only pretty, but NASA scientists are finding them to be surprisingly useful in absorbing possible harmful gases and cleaning the air inside modern buildings.?

    NASA have announced the finds of a 2-year study that suggested the common indoor plants may provide a natural way of helping fight against “Sick Building Syndrome(综合症)”.?

    Research into the use of biological processes as a means of solving environmental problems, both on Earth and in space habitats, has been carried out for many years by Dr. Bill Wloverton, a senior research scientist at NASA. ?

    Based on preliminary evaluations(初步评估) of the use of common indoor plants for indoor air purification(净化),NASA funded a study using about a dozen popular varieties of attractive plants to determine their effectiveness in removing several key pollutants linked with indoor air pollution. NASA research on indoor has found that living plants are so efficient at absorbing pollutants in the air that some will be launched into space as part of the biological life support system aboard future orbiting space stations.?

    While more research is needed, Wolverton says the study has shown that common indoor plants can remove certain pollutants from the indoor environment. “We feel that future results will provide an even stronger argument that common indoor plants can be a very effective part of a system used to provide pollution free homes and work places,” he concludes.?

    “Combining nature with technology can increase the effectiveness of plants in removing air pollutants,” he said.

    NASA research has always shown that living, green and flowering plants can remove several poisonous chemicals from the air inside buildings. You can use plant in your home or office to improve the quality of the air to make it a more pleasant place to live and work—where people feel better, perform better, and enjoy life more.

    The main idea of the passage is _______.?

    A. plants are very useful to human beings?

    B. indoor plants can help remove indoor air pollution?

    C. indoor plants should be raised in both homes and offices?

    D. NASA have studied indoor plants for many years?

    Why do you think NASA are very interested in indoor plants??

    A. Some indoor plants would be used in space stations.?

    B. They want to find a way to cure Sick Building Syndrome.?

    C. They need indoor plants to carry out their experiments.?

    D. Indoor plants are pretty and attractive.?

    The underlined word “pollutants” refers to _______.?

    A. some kinds of indoor plants     B. ways to solve air pollution?

    C. research on indoor plants  D. poisonous chemicals in the air?
