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 (过渡型的) 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.
According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic is that______.
选项 A、much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materials
B、they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materials
C、customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materials
D、quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available
答案D
解析 细节题。根据题干中的Scott Hahn和challenge to designers将本题出处定位到第二段。该段提到，Scott Hahn说高质量的环保面料仍然很难找到；并没有匹配的面料去代替设计师正用着的和顾客们已经适应的面料；很难找到能与合成材料相媲美的环保面料。看懂这三句话中的任何一句，本题都不难答对。D项的are not readily available对应文中的still be tough to find、there aren’t和still have few。
