C Mathilde Wittock,a designer from Belgium,has found a creative way to make resting chairs without any wood or plastic.Instead,each of her chairs is carefully made up of 500 old tennis. balls,making them not only eye-catching but surprisingly strong enough to support adults. Big tennis events around the world use a large number of balls,like the U.S.Open with 70,000 and Wimbledon with 55,000.Yet a tennis ball's life is short,lasting only about nine games. Each year,around 300 million tennis balls are produced and almost all of them end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场).Worse still,they take over4o0 years to decompose because their rubber and felt materials don't break down easily.Wittock hopes her work can help protect the environment. To make her chairs,Wittock receives most of her materials from local tennis clubs,which are happy to give away used balls.Creating one chair takes her three to four weeks of careful work. To make each piece special,she cuts and paints the tennis balls by hand,matching colors to her customers'rooms.This process requires lots of patience,but the result is a chair that's both comfortable to sit on and a conversation starter. For Wittock,though,creating the chair is just the first step.What matters most to her is to make sure the chair has a "second life"when it's no longer used.She takes old chairs apart and recycles every tennis ball:the fuzz()is burned off,and the rubber is cut into small pieces to make bouncy mats (for kids'playgrounds.In this way,nothing goes to waste. 8.What's special about Mathilde Wittock's resting chairs? A.People can't see the wood in them. B.They are made of used tennis balls. C.People can only buy them in Belgium. D.They are too beautiful to be seated on. 9.What does the underlined word "decompose'in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.To become chairs. B.To wash away the landfills C.To grow from land. D.To divide into smaller parts 10.What is true about Mathilde Wittock making chairs? A.She doesn't have enough balls. B.She makes chairs for tennis clubs. C.She makes chairs all by hand. D.She meets customers'different needs. 11.What's the last paragraph mainly about? A.How to keep on cutting down waste. B.How to make tennis balls into mats. C.How to improve the design of chairs. D.How to take tennis balls apart quickly. 初四英语试题 第3页（共8页） Did you ever wish you could show your dreams to your friends or family?Now you might be able to,with a new device that uses AI to create videos from spoken words.
