(2023·河南南阳一中段考)
Fashion designers are always looking for new materials to work with.Lately，it’s all about
environmentfriendly materials—recycled tires，mushrooms，even pineapple fibers! What if you
want such a pair of shoes? Thaely is here to help.
This sneaker brand out of Dubai wants to fight the growing problem of plastic pollution.Led
by 23yearold Indian businessman Ashay Bhave，they may have found a winning approach:
making shoes out of plastic grocery bags.“Thaely”means “plastic bag”in the Hindi language.
“I was looking to create footwear that is costeffective and safe for the
environment，”Bhave said in an interview with a newspaper.“I needed to come up with
something that uses recycled plastic without creating any more plastic waste.”Plastic bags were
the perfect solution.He said five trillion plastic bags are used around the world each year.“I was
motivated to find a solution to this problem，”Bhave said.
That solution was the fiber called ThaelyTex.Made entirely from plastic bags，the material
looks and feels like leather.That sounds promising.Better yet，the production process requires no
additional chemicals and produces no poisonous byproducts.The result is a smartlooking pair of
white lowtop sneakers.
Bhave wouldn’t expose the full process for making ThaelyTex，but he said that each pair of
shoes was made from up to 15 plastic bags and 22 plastic bottles.Where do they get the materials?
Bhave told Elle that was the hardest part.“The biggest challenge we faced was right at the first
step of acquiring the plastic bags.”
Finally，they got help from TrioTap Technologies，a waste management plant.Bhave said
they offered to collect the bags and also process them into ThaelyTex.
So far，it seems like things are falling into place.There are already hundreds of preorders in
place.It sounds like they have some plans for the future.“We have a few more colors coming
up，”said Bhave.They also plan to put out a hightop model and bring in a line of clothing.Let’s
hope their growth is also friendly to the environment.4．Why did Bhave choose to make shoes out of plastic bags?
A．To set a new footwear trend.
B．To test new materials for footwear.
C．To reduce the use of plastic bags in his home country.
D．To use recycled plastic in an environmentfriendly way.
5．What was the most difficult task for Bhave?
A．Having a few more colors for Thaely.
B．Processing plastic bags into ThaelyTex.
C．Collecting enough production materials.
D．Dealing with many poisonous byproducts.
6．The underlined part “put out”in the last paragraph probably means“ ”．
A．produce B．stop
C．cause D．broadcast
7．What can be the best title for this passage?
A．Bhave：A Promising Young Man
B．Thaely：Killer of Waste Plastic Bags
