　　Believe it or not, in the near future people won't just wear a chicken feather suit at Halloween or for fancy dress．Chickens, which have long provided food for dinner, will also be used to make our clothes as well．Last Monday, a report by the University of Nebraska in the US said in the future it should be possible to use chicken feathers and rice straw to make clothes．

　　“All those wasted agriculture products don't have to be wasted anymore, ” researcher Yiqi Yang said．

　　New technology will change these by-products into something similar to wool, linen, or cotton．Because producing synthetic fabrics(合成纤维)causes pollution, scientists wanted to find a cheaper and environmentally friendly replacement．They turned their eyes to the millions of tons of rice straw and chicken feathers that are widely and cheaply available worldwide．Moreover they don't cause pollution like petroleum-based fibers(石油合成纤维)．

　　Chicken feathers are mostly made up of the same kind of protein found in wool．A sweater made from chicken feathers would feel just like a wool sweater．It would be lighter in weight and warmer, too．

　　According to Yang and his team, rice straw, on the other hand, can produce a fabric that looks and feels similar to cotton or linen．The process is also environmentally friendly．The total production cost of rice fiber is about 50 cents per pound, while cotton now sells for about 60 cents a pound．

　　Maybe some day in the future you will wear fabulous clothes like these．

(1)

Which of the following is true according to the passage?
[　　]
A．	In the past, chicken feathers and rice straw were not very cheaply available．
B．	At present, chicken feathers and rice straw are useless for producing synthetic fabrics．
C．	The environmentally friendly products will take the place of the non-environmentally friendly ones．
D．	Scientists have not made any progress in the environmentally friendly products．

(2)

What are the main advantage of the new clothes made of chicken feathers and rice straw?
[　　]
A．	They are mostly made up of the same kind of protein found in wool．
B．	The clothes will be widely used in every field in our daily life．
C．	The process of producing the clothes does not cheap at all．
D．	A sweater made of the new clothes would be lighter in weight and warmer．

(3)

阅读理解

　　The First of May is a Bank Holiday－the first public holiday of the year in England．

　　Most people consider it a special day, the beginning of summer, a day when the light lasts long into the evening, and when we can look for warm weather．We don't always get it．We feel disappointed, but not surprised if there are cold winds and frosts at night in May．Winter should be over．Most people know that in the past, when farming occupied almost everyone, the changing seasons were of great importance．In that older time there was every reason to celebrate May Day．Customs of those celebrations remain．

　　Of these customs, the best known is the choosing of a May Queen and the dancing round Maypole．Even these customs are little more than memories now－but in the last century it was quite common in villages and small towns, and even in schools and colleges, for a pretty and popular girl to be chosen Queen of the May．It was a great honour to be chosen．For a day she wore a light and flowery dress, carried garlands(花环)，and was ceremonially crowned with flowers．She presided over a procession, as a rule with a number of attendants, and over the Maypole dancing and all kinds of entertainment．The Maypole was slender(苗条的)tree trunk, cut off its branches, with beautiful ribbons fastened to the top．The dancing was designed in such a way that the dancer's movements move the ribbons into a pattern．This, as you can imagine, required skill from the dancer, and was not achieved without practice．

　　It's the Celtic(凯尔特的)people who celebrated the First of May as a spring festival．Their celebration seems to have had little to do with taking pleasure in early, beautiful flowers and in warmer weather!They called it Beltane－the fire of the god Bel．They lit fires, in the expectation that their blaze would help the sun in its struggle to regain its strength．They drove their cattle between banks of flame in the expectation that the terrified beasts would be purified(净化)and protected from disease．A tree, which must have been blackened with smoke, stood in the middle of the fires, and is thought to have been the origin of the Maypole．Their priests(牧师)made sacrifices to the goods in the hope of good harvests and sufficient store of food for the winter．There was dancing certainly, but it was noisy and cheerful, since its purpose was not to weave a pattern of colored ribbons, but to drive out evil spirits from the earth and to arouse those kind spirits．

(1)

The main purpose of the passage is to show ________．
[　　]
A．	the reason why they celebrate May Day
B．	the start and customs of May Day
C．	the way they celebrate May Day
D．	the choosing of a May Queen during May Day

(2)

According to the passage, which sentence is NOT true?
[　　]
A．	In the old days they celebrated May Day for the changing of the seasons．
B．	In England summer begins at the first of May．
C．	The custom of the choosing of a May Queen still exists in the present May Day celebration．
D．	The Celtic people celebrated the first of May as a spring festival．

(3)

From the surrounding words and sentences we know that the word “presided” means ________．
[　　]
A．	管理
B．	越过
C．	指挥
D．	主持

(4)

The best title for this passage is ________．
[　　]
A．	The First of May
B．	The Beginning of Summer
C．	May Queen
D．	The Holiday of the Year
