The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new.

During the

last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses, and

environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric ( 织

物) to deal with plastic

pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that

microfibers

(超细纤维) could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.

Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic

pollution and microfibers for 10 years now. He explains that every time

synthetic (合成的) clothes go

into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing

machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a

washing machine, microfibers are entering the sewers (下水道) and finally end up

in the sea.

In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic

clothing can produce more than 1,900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples

(样品) from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special

way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample

contained microfibers.

This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea

life when

eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants.

Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and

organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an

environmental “solution.” Even though the science has been around for a while,

Browne explains that he’s had a difficult time getting companies to listen.

When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design — his

research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on

humans and the environment out of the market — Browne didn’t get a satisfying

answer.

Only one women’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding.

B. It is worsening environmental problems.

C. It is making synthetic clothes last longer.

D. It is doing great damage to washing machines.

6. What can be inferred about Browne’s Benign by Design research project?

A. It has achieved great success.

B. It hasn’t got anything done.

C. It is known to very few people.

D. It is facing some difficulties.

7. What’s the best title for the text?

A. It’s important to learn to recycle

B. It’s never easy to solve pollution problems

C. Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution?

D. Are human beings moving forward or backward?

C（2020 年高考英语全国 I 卷）

Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old

friend. There’s a welcome familiarity — but also sometimes a slight suspicion

that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t

change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and

transformative.

The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is

based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I

feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about

the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take

between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.

There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading

every spring, is Ernest Hemingway’s

A Moveable Feast

. Published in 1964, it’s

his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉

的)，an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is

Annie Dillard’s

Holy the Firm

, her poetic 1975 ramble ( 随笔 ) about everything

and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s

Save Twilight

Selected Poems

because poetry. And because Cortazar.

While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts,

which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money

is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest

currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as
