If you have ever dreamed of slipping into the comforting softness of a cashmere sweater you should follow the example of the habitual wearers and make sure that it has been knitted in the Scottish Borders-- nothing else will do for them as it is pure luxury. But what makes Scottish Borders Cashmere so special? To begin with the Border knitters insist on using only the best cashmere painstakingly produced in one of the most barren parts of China. The cashmere is hand combed from the under fleece of the Mongolian goat and one of them produces in a year only enough yarn to make a scarf. It takes three goats to produce one simple sweater!
This rare natural fiber has then to be transported to Britain for processing. A highly skilled system, invented by Joseph Dawson in the 1880’s, removes every impurity and coarse grade hair so that only the softest down is left. After spinning the Border knitters use their traditional expertise to ensure that this wonderful softness is kept by careful" milling" -- their term for washing the garment after knitting-in pure soft Scottish water.
Of course all this care and attention makes cashmere very expensive but retailers have noticed that whenever there is a rise in the price of cashmere, an inevitably regular occurrence with a scarce, hard-to-produce commodity, customers rarely trade down even to finest lambs wool. They may attempt to ration themselves to one sweater less this season but, for them, it really is a matter of nothing but the best.
But even the most traditional of garments are subject to fashion. The cashmere manufacturers of the Borders realized that, if they were to keep their grand old labels hot and desirable, they had to out Lauren Ralph and chivvy at Chanel’s heels. "The strength of Borders cashmere", says Helen Bottle, the textile designer who manages The Studio," is its well known quality and status. But in today’s market, you need other factors. Better, more fashionable, more exciting design is one. We have gone beyond the traditional Scottish jumper market and into the field of well-designed, fashioned knitted clothing."
For cashmere addicts, life has never been more dangerous. Where once they could only satisfy their craving by having their little jumper in every color in both round neck and polo, now there is an embarrassment of choice.
Why is there "an embarrassment of choice" (in the last paragraph) for cashmere addicts now?
选项
A、Because fashions change too fast for cashmere addicts to follow.
B、Because the styles of Scottish Borders Cashmere are not attractive though all colors are available.
C、Because cashmere addicts have very few choices, that embarrasses them.
D、Because cashmere addicts have so many choices in every color and fashion that they are at a loss.
答案
D
解析
此题答案主要根据倒数第2段最后一句及最后一段得出:We have gone beyond the traditional Scottish jumper market and into the field of well-designed,落fashion-led knitting clothing.For cashmere addicts, life has never been more dangerous.Where once they could only satisfy their craving by having their little jumper in every color in both round neck and polo,now there is an embarrassment of choice.我们现在已超越了传统的Scottish jumper市场,进入了设计新颖,时装化的编织服装领域。对于那些对cashmere情有独钟的人来说,生活从没像现在这样危险过。过去的羊绒制品颜色、式样有限,因此他们只要每种颜色的jumper拥有两种式样(圆领及开领),便可满足自己的要求,而现在选择起来就困难多了。 这几句话说明:原来式样少,而现在Scottish jumper已进入时装市场,且设计新颖,暗示现在的式样多起来。所以D为正确答案。
