(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) (5分) Have you ever felt excited about very cheap and fashionable clothes in shops every few weeks? You can update your wardrobe(更新你的衣橱) without spending too much money. But have you ever stopped to think: Why are these clothes so cheap? The answer lies in something called “fast fashion”. “Fast fashion” refers to how the clothing industry produces a lot of cheap clothes and gets them to stores every few weeks. The low prices let shoppers buy new clothes all the time. However, many of these clothes quickly wear out or go out of style. Their price tags also do not include the environmental costs behind them. “The problem starts with how we think about fashion,” says Kirsi, a fashion researcher. “Nowadays, most people own too many clothes. They wear them for a very short time and then throw them away,” she says. Even if a piece of clothing stays in your wardrobe for years, you might only wear it about 40 times. Besides, “fast fashion” pollutes the environment seriously. A study by Kirsi's team found that the fashion industry leads to 8 to 10% of global carbon waste (全球碳排放) and 20% of the world's water pollution from factories. When you buy a new fast-fashion shirt, you are not just paying money to the shop. You are also making pollution worse. You waste energy in transportation and create rubbish when your shirt is worn out and thrown away. The “low cost” of the shirt is actually paid by our Earth. It is really attractive for us to get bargains easily. But just like there is no “free lunch” in the world, the low prices of fast fashion bring a heavy cost to the Earth. We should not only look for the cheapest clothes. Instead, we can think about the real cost of the things we buy — for our money and for our Earth. 46. “Fast fashion” is ________. A. a popular idea of buying many clothes and throwing them away B. a business way of quickly making and selling lots of cheap clothes C. a shopping habit of buying new clothes with very little money D. a kind of clothing that breaks easily and goes out of style 47. Why does the writer mention “you might only wear it about 40 times” in Paragraph 3? A. To teach us how to wear clothes more often. B. To explain clothes can be kept for many years. C. To tell us to clean our wardrobe regularly. D. To show we wear clothes for a very short time. 48. Which of the following is NOT true when you buy a new fast-fashion shirt? A. You make pollution worse. B. Energy is wasted in transportation. C. Rubbish is created by the shop. D. You pay money to the shop. 49. The underlined word “bargains” means “______”. A. cheap goods B. affordable clothes C. different samples D. formal agreements 50. What does the writer want to tell us? A. To let people care more about the environment. B. To tell people to think carefully before buying clothes. C. To ask experts to work out environmental problems. D. To tell fashion industry to protect our Earth. C. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage. (选择最恰当的单词或短语完成短文) (12分) For thousands of years, people have tried to find ways to keep food for longer.

Today, Theo rushes to the museum after school because a new exhibition is opening—The Mountain Landscapes of Zayan Khan. Each painting in the exhibition shows a different mountain.

He never shows his artwork to anyone because he worries that it isn't good. “I like your lines and shadows,” the man adds. “I like to do that, too.” Theo notices the man's hands are dirty with paint. In his jacket pocket, there are several colored pencils and a paintbrush. He is holding an old notebook with his name on the front. “You are Zayan Khan!” Theo cries out.
