Question

阅读理解 　　If you have to miss a meal a day(or if you want to do so), which meal will cause you fewest health problems if you don’t eat it?If you have to make a decision of this type, most people(especially very busy people)will choose to skip breakfast． 　　However, many experts in the field of health consider breakfast(the meal which “break” you “fast” and which started the night before)to be the most important meal of the day．If we eat a good breakfast, they say, we will have the energy and nutrients(营养)we need to begin our working day with vigor(活力)and hopeful with good honor．However, many people skip breakfast or substitute(代替)a donut or a cup of coffee for a well-balanced meal．What happens if we ignore the importance of breakfast? 　　One recent study conducted in the United States tested a large number of people．Participants(参加者)included both males and females who ranged in age from 12 to 83．During the experiments, these people were given a variety of breakfasts, and sometimes, they have to skip breakfast completely．Special tests, including blood tests and endurance(耐力)tests, were set up to analyze(分析)how well the participants’ bodies functioned when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast． 　　The results show that if a person eats an adequate breakfast, he or she will work more efficiently and more productively than if he or she skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast．This fact appears to be especially true if a person’s work involves mental activities．The study showed that if school-children eat fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, they will learn more quickly and will be able to concentrate(集中)on their lessons for a longer period of time than if their breakfast is inadequate． 　　The study also showed that contrary to what people believe．If you skip breakfast, you will not lose weight．This is because people become so hungry if they skip breakfast that they eat too much for lunch and end up gaining weight instead of losing．So remember, if you want to lose weight, skipping breakfast will not help you．You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals． (1) Many experts in the field of health think _________． [　　] A． that missing lunch and supper has no effect on the health at all B． that most people should skip breakfast C． that skipping one meal a day is no good for one’s health D． that breakfast is most important in the working day (2) The study shows that if school-children _________ before going to school，they will learn more efficiently． [　　] A． eat eggs and coffee B． have adequate breakfast C． just eat fruit and milk D． skip breakfast altogether (3) We can safely say _________． [　　] A． if you skip breakfast，you will not lose weight at all B． if you skip breakfast，you won’t eat much for lunch either C． skipping breakfast does a lot of harm D． skipping breakfast will help lose weight (4) If a person always skips breakfast, he or she _________． [　　] A． will lose weight beyond expectation B． will easily put his or her heart into the work or study C． might suffer from some diseases D． will gain weight even if he or she has a large supper or lunch

Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．B;3．A;4．C;
解析：

(1)	本文的主题就是说明早餐的重要性，而没有谈到午饭和晚饭的有关情况，只是提到午饭和晚饭少吃一些可以起到减肥的效果，所以答案为D项。
(2)	通过短文可以看出，早饭应给学生提供足够的营养，而不局限于吃什么，所以答案为B项。
(3)	此题的干扰项为C，本文只是说明不吃早餐对工作或精力有影响，没有谈到有很多危害，该选项语气太肯定。而不吃早餐不但不能减肥而且容易发胖，这是已经证明了的，所以答案为A项。
(4)	A、B项的意思正好和短文表达的观点相反；D项中的even if从句部分的意思和短文内容不一致。C项的内容尽管观点没有证实，但其中用了might表猜测，所以是正确的。
