得的。由此可知,鋪路用的新材料是一次性使用口罩和再生混凝土骨料組成的。故選C?!?0題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段的“For example, Washington has the 11th worst roads in terms of unaddressed repairs in the . If the damaged roads in Washington state were repaired with the RCA/mask mixture, it would reuse nearly 10 billion masks, sparing American landfills hundreds of millions of tons of trash.”可知,例如,就美國(guó)未解決的維修而言,華盛頓的道路是美國(guó)第11糟糕的。如果使用再生混凝土骨料(RCA)和口罩的混合物來(lái)修復(fù)華盛頓州受損的道路,它將重復(fù)使用近100億個(gè)口罩,從而使美國(guó)的垃圾掩埋場(chǎng)減少數(shù)億噸的垃圾填埋。由此可知,第5段中提到的數(shù)字是為證明這種材料在鋪路時(shí)具有成本效益。故選B?!?1題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的“It’s said that the team is looking for private industry partners or governments willing to give their plastic mask road an opportunity for a largescale test.”可知,據(jù)說(shuō),該團(tuán)隊(duì)正在尋找愿意為其塑料口罩道路提供大規(guī)模測(cè)試機(jī)會(huì)的私營(yíng)行業(yè)合作伙伴或政府。由此可知,該解決方案是否可行還有待測(cè)試。故選C。DBuying clothes for a special event, hiding the price tickets and returning them to the store the next day has for years been the method of economical shoppers. Today people are doing it just for social media.A survey conducted by the credit card pany Barclaycard revealed that nearly one in ten UK shoppers admits to buying clothing only to post photos on social media for likes. After the “outfit (裝束) of the day” makes it online, they return it to the store. According to Barclaycard, the “try before you buy” policy of online retailers (零售商) where people pay for clothing they order online after they try it on at home could be contributing to this rising trend.But the rise of social media has meant that everyone, not just superstars, expects to build and maintain a personal brand. Since we’re documenting our lives and posting them online for public judgment, getting caught in the same outfits more than once should be avoided. And the cost of all those outfits of the day adds up, which makes returning a popular way.There are brands that tailor clothes specifically for social media shoppers, like Fashion Nova. “These are clothes made for social media: meant to be worn once, photographed and abandoned,” Allison P. Davis wrote in her report about the brand. Another favorite of the social media age is Rent the Runway, which lets customers rent designer clothing for a fee.Some, however, are moving in the opposite direction. Groups promoting “work uniforms” have increased greatly in recent years, aiming to free women from “the annoyance of clothing decisions”. The concept of the “capsule wardrobe” (膠囊衣柜), which calls for purchasing a small number of highquality pieces instead of lots of trendy throwaway clothes, is also making a eback.12.
