问题     The January fashion show, called FutureFashion, exemplified how far green design has come. Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.
    The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find. " Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren ’ t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you’ re doing and what your customers are used to, " he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents.
    Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional(过度型的)cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material. "Mainstream is about to occur," says Hahn.
    Some analysts are less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer. When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: " Not that I’ m aware of. Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’ s on the hunt for " cute stuff that isn’ t too expensive. " By her own admission, green just isn’ t yet on her mind. But—thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers—one day it will be.
What is Natalie Hormilla’ s attitude toward ecofashion?
选项 A、She doesn’t seem to care about it.
B、She doesn’t think it is sustainable.
C、She is doubtful of its practical value.
D、She is very much opposed to the idea.
答案A
解析 推断题。根据题干中的Natalie Hormilla将本题出处定位到末段。该段前两句提到，只有18％的消费者知道ecofashion(生态时尚)，Natalie Hormilla就是观念未转变的消费者之一。第四句提到，当被问及是否有环保衣服时，Natalie Hormilla回答“我都不知道有这种衣服”。第六句提到，她承认，她的头脑里还没有“绿色”这一概念。由此可知，她对生态时尚并不在意，故正确答案为A项。题干中的ecofashion对应文中的sustainable clothes和green。
