When you open your closet (壁橱), chances are that you will see some unwanted clothes lying in the corner. But instead of throwing them away, wouldn’t you rather give them a second chance to shine? Well, people around the world are doing just that.

This spring, upcycled denim (牛仔布) and sustainable (可持续的) lace are gaining popularity. They are part of the “ethical” (合乎道德的) and “sustainable” trends that have become the biggest buzzwords in fashion in recent years, the Guardian reported.

Upcycling, according to sustainability website TriplePundit, is a way to process an old item to make it just as good, or even better, than it was originally. For example, you could turn some old pajamas (睡衣) into a new summer dress.

Among upcyclable fabrics (面料), denim is one of the most comfortable and fashionable. That’s why many people like to create their own unique upcycled denim items, such as cutting a headband (头带) from a denim shirt.

Many fashion companies have also joined the trend. For example, there are upcycled denim companies that combine the spirit of vintage (复古的) denim with the principles of sustainability. “For as long as denim has been around, we have found ways to reuse it and upcycle it,” US stylist Kelly Nagel told fashion website sulky.com. “Denim is such a great fabric for so many things, and I especially love it when it has been ‘worn-in’ (磨平的). That is when denim has the most character.”

Lace is another timeless fabric that can be repurposed. According to the Guardian, it can be created from recycled fishing nets and other nylon (尼龙) waste products and used for making elegant dresses or beautiful decorations.

Indeed, fashion holds up a mirror to society. Now, the fashion industry cares not only about creating new looks, but also about its impact on the environment. “Choosing better fabrics is essential to us transforming this industry for the better,” Clara Vuletich, a Sydney-based sustainability expert, told the Guardian. “If you consciously decide to purchase clothes made using a recycled material or an exciting new fiber (纤维), such as cruelty-free leather (皮革) made in a lab, you are supporting companies creating new markets, and avoiding the negative impacts associated with conventional textiles (纺织品).”

1.What is likely to be the most suitable title for the passage?

A.Unwanted clothes to shine B.Denim or lace ,which is getting more popularity?

C.Fashion, a mirror to society. D.Trend for recycled fashion

2.What is the idea lying behind upcycled denim and sustainable lace?

A.Making use of advanced production techniques.

B.Making money for charity with unwanted clothes.

C.Being more friendly to the environment.

D.Changing fashion trends as quickly as possible.

3.Why does Kelly Nagel think denim is especially suitable for upcycling?

A.It is a material that lasts a long time. B.It shows character after being worn in.

C.It matches well with many other fabrics. D.It is the cheapest fabric to upcycle.

4.What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.How fashion reflects social changes. B.How fashion benefits from social development.

C.The bright future of the fashion industry. D.Potential problems of upcycling.

阅读下面短文并根据题目要求回答问题。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。

You don’t have to spend money or even leave your desk to protect the environment. Here’s how to do your bit.

● Buy nothing

“Stop shopping—start living’’ is the slogan (口号) of the Buy Nothing Day ( BND) movement. Every 24th or 25th November, activists take a 24-hour retail (零售) break and… stop shopping!

BND was founded in 1992 by Canadian artist Ted Dave and it has been a great success ever since. People stop shopping on the day, expressing their concern about the environmental problem. So if you are used to shopping every day, BND gives you a chance to have a break! You might change your habit not just for one day, but for life!

● Stop eating prawns

You’ve probably got prawns ready for a quick and easy meal. But how are they produced? Well, most prawns come from Asia and Latin America, where they are fished or farmed.

Unfortunately, prawn fishing causes harm to marine (海洋的) life because huge nets are pulled along the sea bottom. 10 kilos of dead fish are thrown away for every kilo of prawns caught. Prawn farming is no better—a lot of forests are destroyed to make room for the farms. So think again about the prawns on your plate!

● Save the rainforest

Now only 2 million square miles of rainforests are left, and another 1% is being destroyed every year. The trees are being cut down for their wood, and the remaining rainforests could have been used by 2050. Over half of the world’s plant and animal species are found in rainforests. It is believed that extinctions (灭绝) take place every day due to cutting down trees.

Why not go to www. worldlandtrust. org? Donate the price of a cinema ticket for a piece of rainforest. It will be saved with your simple click of the mouse. If we don’t act，in 30 years from now the rainforests will have been destroyed.

1.What do people do on BND?　　 (不多于四个单词)

2.Why is prawn farming bad for the environment?　　 (不多于十个单词)

3.How long will the remaining rainforests be used?　　 (不多于三个单词)

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?　　 (不多于八个单词)

The first Earth Day was in 1970. People were beginning to worry about what we were doing to our environment. So they set up Earth Day to tell everyone about their worries.

In 2007 organizers over 150 countries planned over 4,000 big events. But Earth Day is not just about marches(游行) and big events. In the week around Earth Day (22 April) there were many thousands of smaller, local events. These events dealt with environmental problems in the neighborhood. The World Wide Fund for Nature made a list of 5 things that each person could do to save the environment.

*Don't leave the tap running.

*Turn off lights when you leave a room.

*Turn off your computer every night.

*Wash your clothes, and yourself, in warm or cold water, not hot water.

*Dishwashers use as little water as possible. If we all do at least 20 of these all the time, we can make a big difference.

1.What is the purpose for people to set up Earth Day?

2.When is Earth Day?

3.What should people do when the water keeps running from a tap?

4.Does the word “dishwashers” mean “machines for washing dishes”?

5.Besides the five, what else can you do to save our environment? (One example is OK.)
