第三部分： 阅读理解(共二节，计40分)
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
(A)
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 experi ment, 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 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.
56. 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
57. 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 breakfast
D. those working with brains should have much for breakfast
58. 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
59.According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast, ___________.
A. he will fall ill
B. he will fail to listen to his teacher
C. he will not make progress in his study
D. his mind will work more slowly
(B)
John Farish, an engineer who was staying at the St. Francis, one of the city’s finest hotels, remembered the very early morning of Wednesday, April 18, 1906: I was awakened by a loud noise, which might be com-pared to the mixed sounds of a strong wind flowing through a forest and the breaking of waves against a rock. In less time than it takes to tell, a shake, similar to that caused by a nearby explosion (爆炸), shook the building to its bases and it began a series of the most lively movements. Together with a frightening sound, it was followed by big crashes (碰撞) as the neighboring buildings and chimneys fell to the ground.
A few blocks away, in a comfortable room in the Palace Hotel, the world’s greatest singer, Enrico Caruso, was asleep after a good performance at the Opera House the night before. He awoke to find: Everything in the room was going round and round. The light was trying to touch the ceiling and the chairs were all chasing each other. Crash — crash — crash! It was a terrible scene. Everywhere the walls were falling and clouds of yellow dust were rising. My God, I thought it would never stop!
And at the same moment, in another part of the city, Jesse Cook, a policeman, reported: The whole street was undulating (起伏波动). It was as if the waves of the ocean were coming toward me, and waving as they came.
It was, of course, an earthquake, one of the largest ever to hit North America, and the first of 27 separate quakes that day. The first shock — at 5:12:05 a.m. — lasted more than 40 seconds. It was by far the largest, about 8.3 on the Richter scale; its epicenter (震源) was just off the coast, around the Pacific.
60. When the earthquake happened, Caruso was _____.
A. looking at the waves rushing against the rock
B. giving a performance at the Opera House
C. listening to the sounds of wind flowing
D. sleeping in the comfortable Palace Hotel
61. How did Jesse Cook describe the earthquake?
A. The street was flooded with ocean water.
B. The street was dancing like ocean waves.
C. The chairs in the room were chasing each other.
D. The light was falling to the ground heavily.
62. What can we know about the earthquake according to the passage?
A. It was followed by 26 quakes that day.
B. It caused the most deaths in history.
C. It came from the center of the Pacific.
D. It struck the place at midnight.
(C)
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends – or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we will miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You are a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You are a lucky guy” or “You are a lucky girl”, that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog ?” There is a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the word “dog” puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person while talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
63．In this passage, the writer tries to tell us how to _______.
A．avoid mistakes about money and our friends
B．keep people friendly without trusting them any more
C．avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell us
D．keep people at a distance during communication
64．In the 1st paragraph the writer recalls（回忆）some things that may happen between some friends and they _________.
A．think it was a mistake to have broken up with their girl friends
B．feel happy, thinking of how nice their friends were to them in the past
C．feel they may not have “read” their friends true feelings correctly
D．feel very sorry that their friends didn’t help them and let them down
65．While we are listening to a person, the important thing for us is __________.
A．to check his words against his manner, tone of voice and posture
B．to listen to how he pronounces his words in front of you
C．to notice his tone of voice, his posture and his clothes
D．not to believe what he says in any situation or at any time
66．According to this passage, the underlined phrase “puts you down” can be replaced by another phrase “________”.
A．makes you pleased B．makes you proud
C．makes you feel stupid D．makes you excited
