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 embarrass ment of choice.
Which of the following procedure is NOT specifically explained as a guarantee of good quality for Scottish Borders Cashmere?
选项
A、Its raw material from the best producers.
B、Its sorting out the inferior from the superior.
C、Its milling with special water.
D、Its spinning of Borders’ traditional skill.
答案
D
解析
此题问的是“哪一个没有特别解释”。文中从第1段起提出了这个问题:What makes Scottish Borders Cashmere so special?紧接其后的三段从原材料、去粗取精的加工过程及洗涤三方面详细地解释了这一问题。只是Spinning,一笔带过,因此D为正确答案。
