Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A）， B）， C） and D）. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.　　Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.　　The January fashion show, called FutureFashion, exemplified how far green design has e. Organized by the New Yorkbased nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.　　The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses allorganic cotton, says highquality sustainable materials can still be tough to find. “Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t parable fabrics that can just replace what you’re doing and what your customers are used to,” he says. For example, organic cotton and nonorganic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few ecofriendly equivalents.　　Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers amp。 Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs（企業(yè)家）who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week WalMart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional （過(guò)渡型的）cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material. “Mainstream is about to occur,” says Hahn.　　Some analysts （分析師）are less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer. When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: “Not that I’m aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.” By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind. But—thanks to the bined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers—one day it will be.　　注意：此部分試題請(qǐng)?jiān)诖痤}卡2上作答?！　?7.
