After five years of research, she created from pineapple leaves a material which, like real leather, can be used for making bags, shoes, and 23 textile products.
答案:(C) other
語意「用來製作包包、鞋子和『其他』紡織品」,other(其他的)符合這種列舉後的概括;else(不能這樣修飾textile products)、those(指示代名詞)、such 都不合這個位置。
else 中文也翻成「其他」,所以 and else textile products 乍看好像可以。問題出在位置:else 只能放在被修飾的字後面,而且能被它修飾的字很有限。
else 能修飾的字其實很有限:只用在 any-、every-、no-、some- 開頭的字後面,以及 how、what、where、who、why 這些疑問詞後面(劍橋 English Grammar Today)。例如 something else(別的東西)、someone else(別人)、nowhere else(沒有別的地方)、What else do you need?(你還需要什麼?)。textile products 是普通名詞,不在這份名單裡,而且 else 不能擺到名詞前面去。要在複數普通名詞前面表示「其他的」,用的就是 other。還原檢查:bags, shoes, and other textile products(包包、鞋子,以及其他紡織品),前面兩項是舉例,other 把同一類的其餘部分一次收攏,這是列舉句很常見的收尾方式。
those 是指示代名詞,指的是前面提過的特定事物,但這裡是第一次提到「其他紡織品」,沒有可以指回去的對象。such 表示「這類的」,寫成 such textile products 語意會變成「就是這些」,和「除了前面兩項以外的其餘」不同。else 則是位置錯誤。
other + 複數名詞(其他的……)、the other(兩者中的另一個)、others(其他人、其他東西,代名詞)、another + 單數名詞(另一個)、something else(別的東西)、someone else(別人)、what else(還有什麼)、and other + 名詞(以及其他……,列舉收尾)、be used for Ving(被用來做……)。
The pineapple, a delicious tropical fruit, has been valued for centuries not only for its distinct and unique taste, but also for its miraculous health and medical benefits. But pineapples can also be a fashionable fruit: Pineapple leaves can 21 a substitute for leather.
The idea was developed when a Spanish designer travelling to the Philippines observed a traditional Filipino shirt 22 together with the fibers of pineapple leaves. After five years of research, she created from pineapple leaves a material which, like real leather, can be used for making bags, shoes, and 23 textile products. It is an eco-friendly and biodegradable fiber.
This eco-friendly leather has clear 24 for the environment, compared to real leather and synthetic leathers. It requires fewer chemicals, making it safer for the workers in factories. Its manufacture also leaves a smaller carbon footprint. In addition, the leftover material following the removal of fibers can even be used as a natural fertilizer back in the pineapple fields. 25 its low cost, this innovative material is already being used by many leading fashion companies to make their products.
