Macomb. "I don't think such a business exists yet, but theoretically（理论上） it's very possible. And companies are moving in this direction."
So, scientists are now looking for new ways to make fabrics for clothes that are good both for your image and for Earth.
In the past few years, textile scientist Yiqi Yang of the University of Nebraska in Lincoln has figured out how to make yarn out of cornhusks, chicken feathers, and rice straw (part of the rice plant). All three are agricultural by-products that usually end up in the trash.
"We already have a problem with how to get rid of these waste products," Yang says. "Instead, let's use them to make beautiful materials."
The process involves chemical reactions that break down the raw materials into fibers（光纤）, followed by cleaning. The scientists then spin the fibers into yarn（纱线）, which they use to make fabrics.
⑦Clothes made from farm waste are still years away from hitting the stores, but clothes made from organic or recycled fabrics and products made from coconut, bamboo, and corn sugar are already available in many places.
Simply by choosing carefully how you get dressed in the morning, you can help decide Earth's future.
1. From what Gordon Rands says, we know his attitude about sustainable business is ______.
A. confident B. disappointed C. angry D. critical
2. It is already likely that we can buy products made from ______.
A. bamboo, corn and feathers
B. chicken feathers and rice straw
C. coconut, bamboo, and corn sugar
D. cornhusks and rice straw
3. A company which is interested in sustainable development will_______.
A. provide things that people need
B. have no bad effect on earth
C. make products at a low cost
D. make trash into products
4. The best title of this passage would be _______.
A. Earth Friendly Fabrics
B. Trash or Treasure
C. A New Trend to sustainable development
D. Change in choosing clothes
5. The last paragraph shows that ________.
A. we have more chances to choose what we wear
B. we should choose earth friendly clothes
C. our clothes will be made of more materials
D. we will spend more time deciding what to wear
选A。
2、C。细节理解题。从倒数第二段可知，coconut（椰子）, bamboo（竹子）, 和 corn sugar（玉米葡糖）制作的产品已经能买到，但是由玉米、稻草秸秆和羽毛等东西做原料的产品还在实验阶段。
3、B。从Gordon Rands给可持续性发展下的定义可知，如果一个公司实现了可持续性发展，那它就不会对地球产生任何坏的影响。A、D项叙述片面，C项文中未提及。
4、A。全文是围绕环保织品展开的，讲到了这类织品的来源，制作过程和环保作用。所以其他题目只侧重了文章中某个部分的内容，不够全面。
5、B。最后一段的意思为：早晨要仔细选择穿什么样的衣服，你会影响地球的将来，该段照应第一段，即我们要穿环保的衣服。
