Ⅵ. 阅读与回答问题
根据短文内容，回答下列问题(每题答案不超过10个词)。
It is widely known that fast fashion is harmful to the environment. So how can we, as buyers, reduce our fashion footprint? One answer is to buy less. Another is to buy clothes that are made in an environmentally friendly way, using natural and recycled materials. Renting（租借） clothes is another way. But buying second-hand clothes may be the easiest way and a new fashion that is growing fast.
According to a survey, second-hand clothes have made up 27 per cent of buyers' clothes by 2023. By 2030, the second-hand clothing market will be twice the size of fast fashion. So, it seems that the next ten years will see the resale market grow fast, and this is because we now have more choices than simply buying from charity shops and jumble sales（旧物义卖）. Online websites are making it easier to both buy and sell second-hand things.
It also helps the idea of second-hand clothing change. Dr Amna Khan of Manchester Metropolitan University said, “It’s now become a fashion to wear second-hand clothes.” and it’s no longer “a case of only buying it if you can’t afford anything else”. The changing values of shoppers is even being seen in celebrity culture, such as the well-known players on the popular UK TV show Love Island, encouraging second-hand clothing in daily life.
Not everyone believes that these changes in shopping habits will do enough to reduce our fashion footprint. But it’s clear that some consumers now want to buy less and make more environment-friendly choices when they do shopping. The fashion industry is therefore having to change, and the second-hand market is the star of the show.

文化意识 文化理解 Pawnshops are a special kind of shop with a unique business model. People bring their t to a pawnshop, and the shop gives them money based on the value of those things. There's a chance for people to buy b their items later. But if they fail to do so within a specific time, the pawnshop can sell these items.
In ancient China, life was tough for many poor people. When they needed money to p for food, medicine, or to deal with other emergencies, they often had no choice b to sell their valuable things, like old jewellery, nice clothes, or antiques, to pawnshops. Unluckily, some greedy pawnshop owners paid a very l price. For example, a beautiful jade bracelet that was w a lot of money might be bought for only a few copper coins. When someone had such an unfair experience, o would say he or she "went to the pawnshop (shangdang in Chinese)".
During the Qing Dynasty, there was a wealthy family that had its hands in various businesses, and one of them was a pawnshop. They hired(雇用) a young and book-loving man named Shou Zhu to m this pawnshop. Shou was so into reading that he spent most of his time on books, neglecting his duties in running the pawnshop. Some people noticed this. They took broken or u items to the shop and sold them at high prices. Shou, being distracted by his books, didn't realize the tricks. Before long, the pawnshop lost a great deal of money and f went broke. From then on, the phrase "going to the pawnshop (shangdang)" became widely used to mean "being cheated".
