  浙江常山县2017高考英语阅读理解4

  阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,CD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 Citys private companies which fund new businesses and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mints directors and won their support. Mint has committed around£500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr Dunlops business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.
