[2021·开封市高三模拟]Cattle manure (粪肥) has become one of the world's greatest environmental killers, but one Dutch artist is using chemistry to turn it into something that is both ecofriendly and valuable.
In recent years, scientists around the world have made great progress in their attempts to recycle cattle manure, including turning it into natural fertilizer, but the artist Jalila Essaïdi in Eindhoven didn't think they were efficient enough to solve the global manure problem. So she started on her very own solution, one that approached animal waste as a valuable material that could be processed into useful products.
She started by separating the waste, with the dry manure used to get pure cellulose (纤维素) from the grass that cows eat. From the wet manure, she got acids used to create a natural liquid plastic which was used to make fibers that are later turned into fabric (material used for making clothes)．
This new material was named Mestic, from mest, the Dutch word for manure. Essaïdi claims that it has the same function as plastic from fossil fuels, but is biodegradable (可生物降解的). Better yet, the degradability can be dealt with in the lab, making it possible to create materials that last for different periods of time depending on their purposes. “This is not the first time scientists have been looking for ways to solve the manure problem, but it is the first time manure has been considered as a valuable resource，” the Dutch artist said.
Last year, Jalila Essaïdi partnered the city of Eindhoven to produce a fashion show using Mesticbased fabrics. Her Mestic collection was so impressive that clothing giant H&M awarded her the Global Change Award and a $1 million prize. And cow manure is just the beginning of Jalila Essaïdi's experiments with animal waste. “After cows, we'll deal with pigs and other animals，” she said.
5Why has the author written the text?
A．To suggest practical ways to deal with cattle manure.
B．To advertise some clothes made by a Dutch company.
C．To introduce how an artist turns cow manure into clothing material.
D．To persuade people to purchase products made from manure.
6．Which is the correct order of making Mesticbased clothing?
A．Acids→liquid plastic→manure→fabric→fibers→clothing.
B．Manure→acids→liquid plastic→fibers→fabric→clothing.
C．Liquid plastic→manure→fabric→fibers→acids→clothing.
D．Fibers→manure→acids→fabric→liquid plastic→clothing.
7．What do we know about Mestic?
A．Its smell is rather terrible.
B．It is made from fossil fuels.
C．Its name has a Dutch origin.
D．It can only be made in the lab.
8．What do Jalila Essaïdi's words in the last paragraph mean?
A．Something more needs to be done about cow manure.
B．She will switch to other animals waste in the future.
C．What experiments to do next really puzzles her.
D．The future of fashionable clothing is optimistic.
5．C 考查写作目的。根据第一段中的“but one Dutch artist is using chemistry to turn it into something that is both ecofriendly and valuable”和下文的内容可知，作者写作本文的目的在于介绍一位荷兰艺术家是怎样将牛粪转变成做衣服的材料的。故选C。
6．B 考查细节理解。根据第三段第二句“From the wet manure, she got acids used to...turned into fabric (material used for making clothes)．”可知，B项的顺序是做以Mestic 为原料的衣服的过程。故选B。
7．C 考查细节理解。根据第四段第一句“This new material was named Mestic, from mest, the Dutch word for manure.”可知，“Mestic”这个材料的名字来源于荷兰语中的“mest”这个单词。故选C。
8．B 考查细节理解。根据第五段最后一句中的“After cows, we'll deal with pigs and other animals”可知，Jalila Essaïdi在未来会将关于动物粪便的实验转向猪和其他动物。故选B。
