Will it matter if you don"t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experi­ment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.
Opposite to(与.....相反) what many people believe, if you don"t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
小题1:During the test, those who were tested were given ________.
A.no breakfast at all
B.very rich breakfast
C.little food for breakfast
D.different breakfast or none
小题2:The results of the test show that ________.
A.breakfast has great effect on work and studies
B.breakfast has little to do with a person’s work
C.a person will work better if he has a simple(简单的) breakfast
D.those working with brains needn’t have anything for breakfast
小题3:The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don"t eat breakfast, you will _________.
A.lose weight
B.not lose weight
C.be healthier
D.gain a lot of weight

A.Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains.
B.Eating nothing in the morning may cause one to get fatter.
C.Reducing lunch and supper is of less use in weight losing.
D.Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.

答案

小题1:D
小题2:A
小题3:A
小题4: C
解析

试题分析:文章介绍了一个对不吃早饭人人的影响的研究。
小题1:D 细节题。根据第一段3,4行these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all说明D正确。
小题2:A 推理题。通过文章第一段最后5行The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.说明吃早饭对人的影响是很大的,故A正确。
小题3:A 推理题。根据第二段第一行Opposite to(与.....相反) what many people believe, if you don"t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight.说明很多人原来以为不吃早饭可以减肥。实际上比吃早饭,并不能达到减肥的目的。故A正确。
小题4:C 推理题。根据文章最后一句You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.说明不吃早饭不会让人减肥,但是不吃中饭和晚饭却可以让人减肥,故C的说法是错误的。
点评:本短文要注意推理,从文章的细节入手,抓上下文的推理。

Cholera is a water-borne disease that is spread through polluted water and food. Cholera is an illness caused by the bacterium. It produces a poison that causes a painless , watery diarrhea( 痢疾)  that can quickly lead to severe dehydration(脱水) and death if treatment is not given. Most persons infected with cholera do not become ill, although the bacterium is present in their waste for 7-14 days. When this illness does strike, more than 90% of the time is not severe and is difficult to tell from other types of diarrhea. Less than 10% of sick persons develop cholera with signs of moderate or severe dehydration.
A person may get cholera by drinking water or eating food polluted with the cholera bacterium. The disease can spread rapidly in areas without the proper treatment of drinking water. The cholera bacterium may also live in the environment in dirty rivers and coastal waters. Shellfish eaten raw have been a source of cholera. Therefore, the disease is not likely to spread directly from one person to another.
Cholera can be simply and successfully treated by immediate replacement of the fluid and salts lost through diarrhea. Patients can be treated by being given a mixture of sugar and salt to be mixed with water and drunk in large amount. Antibiotics(抗生素) shorten the course and decrease the severity of the illness. To avoid cholera, we should eat well-cooked food instead of raw food.
小题1:If a person infected with cholera less than 7 days,he would probably   .
A. die  B.  become sick  C remain healthy  D suffer from watery diarrhea
小题2:Which statement is true according to the passage?
A Cholera can spread directly from one person to another.
B. Eating raw food can help stop cholera.
C. Cholera is caused by watery diarrhea.
D. Polluted water and food can help spread cholera.
小题3: Cholera can be treated by         .
A.replacing the blood in the body.
B.eating a lot of water mixed with sugar and salt and using antibiotics.
C.eating a large amount of sugar and salt
D.drinking a lot of water and eating a large amount of food.
小题4:In order to avoid cholera, people should         .

For a while, my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers. They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.”
Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, I’m not alone in my opinion.
First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet need a real pounding(追击)running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.
Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.
And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?
I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.
小题1:From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood ______.
A.jogging became very popular
B.people jogged only during the daytime
C.Alex organized an army of joggers
D.jogging provided a chance to get together
小题2:The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _____.
A.heart attacksB.Back problems
C.famous joggersD.physical weaknesses
小题3:What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning?
A.He felt it was worth a try.
B.He was very fond of it.
C.He was strongly against it.
D.He thought it must be painful.
小题4:Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?
A.He disliked doing exercise outside.
B.He found it neither healthy nor interesting.
C.He was afraid of having a heart attack.
D.He was worried about being left alone.
小题5: From the writer’s experience, we can conclude that______.
A.not everyone enjoys jogging
B.he is the only person who hates jogging
C.nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit
D.jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.

Why do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What’s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.
According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble.
Think back to the time you took your very first sip of beer. Disgusting, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette — it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation(attraction) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.
Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.
These bad habits aren’t self-control failures — far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.
小题1:What do most people think causes bad behavior?
A.Being forced by others. B.Not having enough will power.
C.Enjoying their first experiences.D.Following the examples of their friends.
小题2:The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ____.
A.will power helps develop bad habits sometimes
B.drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers
C.self-control should be developed when one is young
D.everyone can be challenged by different temptations
小题3:In the last paragraph, the author stresses(强调) that ____.
A.without self-control, no one can succeed
B.bad habits don’t always lead to bad results
C.applying self-control correctly is important
D.people can develop wisdom from bad behavior
小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A.My First Sip of BeerB.Do You Have Will Power ?
C.Will Power Benefits UsD.Dark Side of Self-control
