Fashin designers are always lking fr new materials t wrk with. Lately, it’s all abut envirnment-friendly materials -- recycled tires, mushrms, even pineapple fibers! What if yu want such a pair f shes? Thaely is here t help.
This sneaker brand ut f Dubai wants t fight the grwing prblem f plastic pllutin. Led by 23-year-ld Indian businessman Ashay Bhave, they may have fund a winning apprach: making shes ut f plastic grcery bags. “Thaely” means “plastic bag” in the Hindi language.
“I was lking t create ftwear that is cst-effective and safe fr the envirnment,” Bhave said in an interview with a newspaper. “I needed t cme up with smething that uses recycled plastic withut creating any mre plastic waste. ”Plastic bags were the perfect slutin. He said five trillin plastic bags are used arund the wrld each year. “I was mtivated t find a slutin t this prblem,” Bhave said.
That slutin was the fiber called ThaelyTex. Made entirely frm plastic bags, the material lks and feels like leather. That sunds prmising. Better yet, the prductin prcess requires n additinal chemicals and prduces n pisnus by-prducts. The result is a smart-lking pair f white lw-tp sneakers.
Bhave wuldn’t expse the full prcess fr making ThaelyTex, but he said that each pair f shes was made frm up t 15 plastic bags and 22 plastic bttles. Where d they get the materials? Bhave tld Elle that was the hardest part. “The biggest challenge we faced was right at the first step f acquiring the plastic bags. ”
Finally, they gt help frm TriTap Technlgies, a waste management plant. Bhave said they ffered t cllect the bags and als prcess them int ThaelyTex.
S far, it seems like things are falling int place. There are already hundreds f pre-rders in place. It sunds like they have sme plans fr the future. “We have a few mre clrs cming up,” said Bhave. They als plan t put ut a high-tp mdel and bring in a line f clthing. Let’s hpe their grwth is als friendly t the envirnment.

Buy land, advised Mark Twain； they're nt making it any mre. In fact, land is nt really scarce: the entire ppulatin f America culd fit int Texas with mre than an acre fr each husehld t enjy. What drives prices rcket is a cllisin between uncntrlled demand and limited supply in the great metrplises like Lndn, Mumbai and New Yrk. In the past ten years real prices in Hng Kng have risen by 150%. Residential（住宅的）prperty in Mayfair, in central Lndn, can g fr as much as £55,000（$82,000）per square metre. A square mile f Manhattan residential prperty csts $16.5 billin.
Even in these great cities the scarcity is artificial. Regulatry limits n the height and density（密度）f buildings cnstrain（限制）supply and increase prices. A recent analysis by academics at the Lndn Schl f Ecnmics estimates that land-use regulatins in the West End f Lndn inflate the price f ffice space by abut 800%; in Milan and Paris the rules push up prices by arund 300%. Mst f the enrmus value captured by landwners exists because it is almst impssible t build new ffices t cmpete thse prfits away.
The csts f this misfiring prperty market are huge, mainly because f their effects n individuals. High husing prices frce wrkers twards cheaper but less prductive places. Accrding t ne study, emplyment in the Bay Area arund San Francisc wuld be abut five times larger than it is but fr tight limits n cnstructin. Add up these csts in lst earnings and unrealized human ptential, and the figures becme dizzying. Lifting all the barriers t urban grwth in America culd raise the cuntry's GDP by between 6.5% and 13.5%, r by abut 1 trillin—2 trillin. It is difficult t think f many ther plicies that wuld prduce anything like that.
12. Why des the authr refer t Mark Twain?
A. T persuade peple t buy land.
B. T present the tpic.
C. T emphasize his influence n city develpment.
D. T arise readers5 interest.
13. What culd be the main reasn f the rising prices f land?
A. Regulatry limits.B. Ecnmic crisis.
C. Supply-demand imbalance.D. Ppulatin grwth.
14. What des paragraph 2 intend t tell us?
A. Husing prices in big cities are increasing.
B. Enrmus value f land is mainly captured by the minrity.
C. It’s pssible t cnstruct many new ffices t share the prfits.
D. The fact that land is scarce in big cities is made by regulatry plicies.
15. What’s the authr’s attitude twards tight limits n cnstructin?
A. Ambiguus.B. Critical.C. Favurable.D. Tlerant.

We were quickly prven wrng.
The further we drve int the White Muntains, the higher the walls n either side f the winding highway grew. I was still in awe f the muntains I had seen s many times befre, but I culdn’t help feeling my heart shaking with anxiety. Sn I wuld have t leave the schl bus that brught 50 students ut int the wilderness like every year befre.
My grup cnsisted f my friends, Riley and Ann, and six extremely athletic bys. We arrived at base camp ldge (木屋) first. After putting things aside and rearranging ur bags, we made ur way ut int the wilderness.
The three f us girls were questining if this was really a level tw. The path was unbelievably steep (陡峭) and rcky tward the tp f the muntain where the first hut was lcated. We were practically jgging in an attempt t keep up with the bys ahead f us. Befre the trip, we were tld t take breaks as ften as we needed t drink water, but that wasn’t helping ur punding hearts and heavy breathing as much as it shuld have.
Then, 30 minutes int the mst difficult hike the three f us had ever dne, Riley slipped and landed n her knee. After a few mments, we turned back dwn the muntain as it was decided that Riley culd nt make the trip with us. We sat n the grass utside the ldge where we had started while Riley was brught inside t jin the level ne grup. Ann and I exchanged breathless glances, ur cheeks red and wet with sweat.

Buy land, advised Mark Twain； they're nt making it any mre. In fact, land is nt really scarce: the entire ppulatin f America culd fit int Texas with mre than an acre fr each husehld t enjy. What drives prices rcket is a cllisin between uncntrlled demand and limited supply in the great metrplises like Lndn, Mumbai and New Yrk. In the past ten years real prices in Hng Kng have risen by 150%. Residential（住宅的）prperty in Mayfair, in central Lndn, can g fr as much as £55,000（$82,000）per square metre. A square mile f Manhattan residential prperty csts $16.5 billin.
Even in these great cities the scarcity is artificial. Regulatry limits n the height and density（密度）f buildings cnstrain（限制）supply and increase prices. A recent analysis by academics at the Lndn Schl f Ecnmics estimates that land-use regulatins in the West End f Lndn inflate the price f ffice space by abut 800%; in Milan and Paris the rules push up prices by arund 300%. Mst f the enrmus value captured by landwners exists because it is almst impssible t build new ffices t cmpete thse prfits away.
The csts f this misfiring prperty market are huge, mainly because f their effects n individuals. High husing prices frce wrkers twards cheaper but less prductive places. Accrding t ne study, emplyment in the Bay Area arund San Francisc wuld be abut five times larger than it is but fr tight limits n cnstructin. Add up these csts in lst earnings and unrealized human ptential, and the figures becme dizzying. Lifting all the barriers t urban grwth in America culd raise the cuntry's GDP by between 6.5% and 13.5%, r by abut 1 trillin—2 trillin. It is difficult t think f many ther plicies that wuld prduce anything like that.
12. Why des the authr refer t Mark Twain?
A. T persuade peple t buy land.
B. T present the tpic.
C. T emphasize his influence n city develpment.
D. T arise readers5 interest.
13. What culd be the main reasn f the rising prices f land?
A. Regulatry limits.B. Ecnmic crisis.
C. Supply-demand imbalance.D. Ppulatin grwth.
14. What des paragraph 2 intend t tell us?
A. Husing prices in big cities are increasing.
B. Enrmus value f land is mainly captured by the minrity.
C. It’s pssible t cnstruct many new ffices t share the prfits.
D. The fact that land is scarce in big cities is made by regulatry plicies.

Smetimes things may seem beynd ur effrts, but keep n and yu will find beautiful views in frnt f yu.
I was n my secnd utdr experience trip that every student had t g n. That year, we had a chice f what difficulty level we wanted: ne thrugh five. My friends and I had agreed that ne wuld make us seem lazy and that challenging urselves wuld make fr a gd stry. In chsing level tw, we believed that it wuld still be a fun experience.
We were quickly prven wrng.
The further we drve int the White Muntains, the higher the walls n either side f the winding highway grew. I was still in awe f the muntains I had seen s many times befre, but I culdn’t help feeling my heart shaking with anxiety. Sn I wuld have t leave the schl bus that brught 50 students ut int the wilderness like every year befre.
My grup cnsisted f my friends, Riley and Ann, and six extremely athletic bys. We arrived at base camp ldge (木屋) first. After putting things aside and rearranging ur bags, we made ur way ut int the wilderness.
The three f us girls were questining if this was really a level tw. The path was unbelievably steep (陡峭) and rcky tward the tp f the muntain where the first hut was lcated. We were practically jgging in an attempt t keep up with the bys ahead f us. Befre the trip, we were tld t take breaks as ften as we needed t drink water, but that wasn’t helping ur punding hearts and heavy breathing as much as it shuld have.
Then, 30 minutes int the mst difficult hike the three f us had ever dne, Riley slipped and landed n her knee. After a few mments, we turned back dwn the muntain as it was decided that Riley culd nt make the trip with us. We sat n the grass utside the ldge where we had started while Riley was brught inside t jin the level ne grup. Ann and I exchanged breathless glances, ur cheeks red and wet with sweat.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“D yu think we shuld ask if we culd jin the level ne grup t?” I asked Ann.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
“D yu think we shuld ask if we culd jin the level ne grup t?” I asked Ann. “I knw yu wn’t,” she breathed ut. “I wn’t!” I said t myself, lking at the awesme muntains in the distance. Then we started up the steep and rcky path again, attempting t keep up with the bys. Our bags felt heavier; legs burned; backs hurt; tears threatened t spill ver ur sweat-cvered eyes. I wanted nthing mre than t turn back and leave right then and there. But, I culdn’t; I didn’t want t be smene wh gave up easily.
Paragraph 2:
The next days, althugh extremely tired, we kept n. Ann and I still fund urselves lagging behind the bys. Instead f embarrassment, I felt as thugh I was gaining mre ut f the trip than anyne else. As the bys ran, Ann and I hung back and tk breaks, drinking water and admiring the deep green valleys frm high abve. Level tw was fun, t. And eventually we made it t the destinatin. Facing the beautiful views in frnt f us, I exchanged a glance with Ann, bth f us beaming.
