It might be strange t wear clthes made ut f plastic bttles.But in fact sme clthing cmpanies are already making such clthes.
Fashin brand JUMA recently shwed its newest cllectin at a wrkshp in Shanghai.Eighteen clthing items frm the cllectin,including jump-suits,jackets,shirts and dresses,were made frm recycled plastic bttles."We realized that billins f water bttles were being thrwn int landfills and ceans every year and that these bttles take hundreds f years t decmpse(分解).We thught we shuld use them t create ur clthes and help the envirnment,"said AliaJuma,the cmpany's design directr.
Many ther fashin cmpanies are finding similar ways t save ur planet these days.The prcess is rather simple.First,the plastic bttles are washed and cut int small pieces.Then they are melted and shaped int small balls.The balls are melted again t frm thread.Peple can then use the thread t make different kinds f clthes.
Accrding t Juma,it takes 67,000 bttles t create 1 tn f thread.This reduces carbn emissins by 4.2 tns and water use by 6.2 tns cmpared with the nrmal way f making thread.“4 bttles can make a pillwcase.5 can make a shirt,10 a dress and 20 a shrt cat,”Juma said.Sme peple might have dubts abut wearing smething made ut f plastic bttles.But accrding t Causeartist,a website that fcuses n innvatin,clthes made frm plastic culd be even better than nyln and plyester.Plastic thread can be made int different textures,such as cttn,silk r even wl."The mre we learn abut recycled fabrics,the mre we realize that they wrk just like ther fabrics.Yu can get a heavier cttn feeling r a silky feeling by weaving they arns int different textures and using different washing methds.There is actually a lt yu can d with this fabric,”Juma said.
The price fr the clthes in the new cllectin ranges frm 500 t 3,000 yuan.Hwever,Juma is ptimistic that prices will fall when mre cmpanies fllw the sustainability path taken by her business.
28.Why is fashin brand JUMA hw making clthes frm plastic bttles?
A.Because t many bttles are being thrwn away.
B.Because the cmpany has advanced technlgy.
C.Because peple are fnd f wearing such clthes.
D.Because recycling the bttles is gd fr the Earth.
29.What can be inferred frm Paragraph 4?
A.Creating 1 tn f thread in the nrmal way brings abut 4.2 tns f carbn emissins.
B.Making clthes frm plastic bttles reduces carbn ftprint and is wrth the effrt.
C.A fashin cmpany can make as manyias 300 shrt cats using nly 1 tn f thread.
D.The new way f making thread frm plastic bttles is nt harmful t the envirnment.
30.What is the authr's attitude twards clthes made frm plastic bttles?

B.Critical.
C.Supprtive.
D.Disapprving.
31.What is the main purpse f this passage?

During my yuth in America's Appalachian muntains,I learned that farmers preferred sns ver daughters,largely because bys were better at heavy farm labur.With nly 3% f Americans in agriculture tday,brain has replaced brawn,yet cultural preferences,like bad habits,are easier t make than break.But histry warns repeatedly f the tragic cst f dismissing t casually the gifts f the s-called weaker sex.
Abut 150 years ag,a village church vicar in Yrkshire,England,had three lvely,intelligent daughters but his hpes depended entirely n the sle male heir(继承人),Branwell,a yuth with remarkable talent in bth art and literature.
Branwell's father and sisters saved their pennies t pack him ff t Lndn's Ryal Academy f Arts,but within weeks he returned hme,a penniless failure.Hpes still high,the family landed Branwell a jb as a private tutr,hping this wuld free him t develp his literary skills and achieve the success and fame that he deserved.Failure again.
Fr years the selfless sisters squelched(制止)their wn gals,farming themselves ut as teachers and gvernesses in supprt f their increasingly indebted brther,cnvinced the wrld must eventually recgnize his genius.As failures multiplied,Branwell turned t alchl,then pium,and eventually died as he had lived:a failure.S died hpe in the ne male—but what f her three selfless sisters?
During Branwell's last years,the girls published a bk f petry at their wn expense.Even Branwell might have snickered(窃笑):they sld nly 2 cpies.Hwever,they cntinued in their spare time,late at night by candlelight,t pur ut their pent-up emtin,writing f what they knew best,f wmen in cnflict with their natural desires and scial cnditin—in reality,less fictin than autbigraphy!And 19th-century literature was transfrmed by Anne's Agnes Grey,Emily's Wuthering Heights,and Charltte's Jane Eyre.But years f sacrifice fr Banwell had caused great suffering.Emily was taken ill at her brther's funeral and died within 3 mnths,aged29;Anne died 5 mnths later,aged 30;Charltte lived nly t age 39.If nly they had been nurtured instead f sacrificed.
N ne remembers Branwell's name,much less his art r literature,but the Brnte sisters' tragically shrt lives teach us even mre f life than f literature.Their sacrificed genius cries ut t us that in mdern sciety we must value children nt by their physical strength r sexual gender,but by their integrity,strength,cmmitment,curage—spiritual qualities abundant in bth bys and girls.
32.What des the underlined wrd“brawn”mean in Paragraph 1?
A.Human intelligence.
C.Physical strength.
B.Tiring labur.
D.Persnal preference.
33.Why)did the father nly pay attentin t Branwell's educatin?
A.Because Branwell was the nly sn f the family.
B.Because Branwell had a gift fr literature and art.
C.Because his daughters were nt as talented.
D.Because his daughters were self-disciplined.
34.What was Branwell's reactin t his repeated failures?
A.Stpping wrking hard.
C.Sliding int bad habits.
B.Feeling extremely ashamed.
D.Lsing heart cmpletely.
35.Which might be the best title f the passage?
A.The Brnte Sisters Selfless Sacrifice
B.Branwell—A Shame f the Brnte Family
D.The Brnte Family's Regrettable Tragedy
C.The Brnte Sisters' Great Achievement
