Question

【題目】“Fast fashion” means clothes that are inexpensive but look like the latest designs. One reason for the success of fast fashion is social networking. A report by the investment research firm Bernstein found that millennials — people born in the 1980s and 90s — wanted to wear a variety of clothes in the photos they posted on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. As a result, many businesses that offer trend, low - cost clothes are growing.

But the situation is changing now. Maxine Bedat, a woman who is in her early 30s，looks in her closet full of clothes, but she has nothing to wear. She says she hates always shopping for what is in style . Instead，she says, she wants to buy fewer clothes that she can wear over and over. Other people want the same thing, she says.

So Ms. Bedat and a business partner, Soraya Darabi, started a “slow fashion” clothing company calltd Zady. “Slow fashion” means clothes that last a long time. They are often classic colors and shapes, and are made from natural materials that are biodegradable (可生物降解的) over time.

The terms “fast fashion” and “slow fashion” are related to “fast food” and “slow food: fast food is still popular in the US, but many restaurants increasingly offer higher - quality, more expensive and relaxed meals.

Like slow food，slow fashion also aims to use sources that are good for the environment and 、 workers. Maxine Bedat says people in her generation want to know where their clothes come from and who is making them. To answer millennials’demand for information about the products they buy, Ms. Bedat’s company, Zady, includes details about the history of the brands. It also describes the process in which the clothes are made. Ms Bedat says Zady aims to tell shoppers where their clothes come from, where they go, and how they impact the world.

【解析】 本文屬于應(yīng)用說(shuō)明文�？鞎r(shí)尚曾一度深受年輕人的追捧，但是現(xiàn)在慢時(shí)尚因?yàn)樗�的環(huán)保已經(jīng)開(kāi)始流行起來(lái)。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的…millennials — people born in the 1980s and 90s — wanted to wear a variety of clothes in the photos they posted on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. 在上世紀(jì)80年代和90年代出生的千禧一代，他們想穿各種各樣的衣服拍成照片發(fā)布在臉書(shū)上、Instagram和Twitter上。由此可判斷出這些人熱衷于不同的衣服。分析選項(xiàng)可知D項(xiàng)符合題意，故選D項(xiàng)。

【2】推理判斷題。第二段和第三段中一個(gè)叫Maxine Bedat女人，不喜歡那種“Fast fashion”，只想買(mǎi)能反復(fù)穿的衣服，其他人也想這樣的。于是Bedat女士和一個(gè)商業(yè)伙伴Soraya Darabi創(chuàng)立了一家“Slow fashion”服裝公司，“Slow fashion慢時(shí)尚”是指能穿很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的衣服。由此可判斷出她現(xiàn)在喜歡這種慢時(shí)尚的衣服，故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中Like slow food，slow fashion also aims to use sources that are good for the environment and workers. Maxine Bedat says people in her generation want to know where their clothes come from and who is making them像慢食一樣，慢時(shí)尚也旨在利用對(duì)環(huán)境有益的資源。可知，它們的目的在于環(huán)境，故選B項(xiàng)。

【4】主旨大意題。本文主要介紹了快時(shí)尚已經(jīng)不再流行了，慢時(shí)尚逐漸流行起來(lái)了，因此C項(xiàng)為最佳標(biāo)題。
