Ⅵ.阅读与回答问题
根据短文内容,回答下列问题(每题答案不超过 10 个词)。
It is widely known that fast fashion is harmful to the environment. So how can we, as buyers, reduce our fashion footprint? One answer is to buy less. Another is to buy clothes that are environmentally-friendly made, using natural and recycled materials. Renting(租借) clothes is another way. But buying second-hand may be the easiest way and a new fashion that is growing fast.
According to a survey, second-hand clothes have made up 27 per cent of buyers' clothes by 2023. By 2030, the second-hand clothing market will be twice the size of fast fashion. So, it seems that the next ten years will see the re-sale market grow fast, and this is because we now have more choices than simply buying from charity shops and jumble sales (旧物义卖). Online websites are making it easier to both buy and sell second-hand things.
It also helps the idea of second-hand clothing change. Dr Amna Khan of Manchester Metropolitan University said, “it's now become a fashion to wear second-hand” and it's no longer “a case of only buying it if you can't afford anything else”. The changing values of shoppers is even being seen in celebrity culture, such as the well-known players on the popular UK TV show Love Island, encouraging second-hand clothing in daily life.
Not everyone believes that these changes in shopping habits will do enough to reduce our fashion footprint. But it's clear that some consumers now want to buy less and make more environmentally-friendly choices when they do shopping. The fashion industry is therefore having to change, and the second-hand market is the star of the show.
