Which of the following is true according to a new study from the University of Leeds?
It turns out cheap clothing might last just as long — or longer — than expensive designer clothes. If you’ve been shelling out for designer clothing in the hopes that it will be more durable than cheaper options, you might want to reconsider. A new study from The University of Leeds suggests that low-cost clothing might actually outlast pricier pieces.
Despite the popular notion that designer clothes are more sturdily constructed than off-the-rack items, the study found that fast-fashion shirts and jeans usually out-performed their luxury counterparts. "Some of the garments performed very well across a wide range of tests
— more often than not, the best products were ’fast-fashion’ products, " Dr. Sumner told The Telegraph.
"Jeans from one fashion brand lasted twice as long as a designer label jeans, but cost one-tenth of the price of the designer jeans, " he said. According to Dr. Sumner’s interview with The Telegraph, designer label T-shirts were "the worst performing" in all of the tests. Surprisingly, T-shirts from an online fast-fashion brand held up the best. Of course, price isn’t the only thing to consider when shopping for new threads. The fashion industry is a huge source of environmental pollution, with low-cost clothing contributing heavily to landfill waste and carbon gas emissions. According to the EPA Office of Solid Waste, Americans throw away more than 68 pounds of clothing and textiles per person per year. With trends appearing and vanishing in the blink of an eye, the average number of times a garment is worn before it is disposed of has decreased 36% over the past 15 years, according to a 2017 report.
Although some clothing items are estimated to be trashed after just seven wears, less than 1% of clothing is recycled to create new clothing. Plus, fast-fashion can come with ethical concerns depending on the company.
All in all, there’s a lot to consider when purchasing new clothing. But keeping those bargain jeans in your wardrobe rotation could be good for your budget and the environment
— and chances are they can last just as long as the designer pair you’ve been eyeing.
选项
A、Designer closings are more durable than cheaper options.
B、Low cost clothing might actually outlast pricier pieces.
C、The higher the price, the better the quality.
D、There is a lot to consider when purchasing new clothing.
答案
B
解析
特定信息的找寻和判断。通过听第一、二段,我们可以得出:A选项是大众的普遍看法, “名牌衣服比平价衣服制作得更结实”,并非利兹大学的新研究结论;第一段末“A new study from The University of Leeds suggests that low-cost clothing might actually outlast pricier pieces”,意思是“利兹大学的一项新研究指出,廉价的衣服事实上可能比昂贵的衣服更耐穿”,所以B选项为正确答案;C选项的内容在文中并未提到;D选项内容出现在文中最后一段,是作者的看法,并非利兹大学的新研究结论。
