教案试题 2016高考英语二轮阅读理解一百六十集选练（119）

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same

again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to

environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support

to produceeco-friendly tentsmade of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands

and the crowds have gone home.

Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the

end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West

of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope

with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.

Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big

buildings including churches, Mr Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which

he called Myhabs.

The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr Dunlop

graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a

business.

To raise money for the idea, he toured the City’s private companies which fund new

businesses and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea

to four of Mint’s directors and won their support. Mint has committed around￡500,000

to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs

should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.

Mr Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses,

such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics. For music events,

the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team

before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can be 最新K12教育
