  • 第3题:

    It is surprising that eating three meals a day—breakfast, lunch and dinner—has been a custom only since 1890. Before this time, people only had two meals a day—breakfast and dinner. In the 16th century, breakfast was only to break one’s fast(开戒, 即开始吃东西). But 200 years later it had become a large meal, not just for family, but for numbers of guests as well. It was a social event. It began at 10 a.m. and lasted until 1 p.m. Then breakfast began to be less popular. It became, instead, a lighter meal and was taken at much earlier hour. By 1850 it had been pushed back to 8 a.m. and became a family meal. Dinner, however, went the other way. In the 16th century it was eaten at 11 a.m. Years later, it moved to the early afternoon, then to 5 p.m. By 1850 dinner time had reached 7 p.m. Lunch is a recent idea. It first appeared as a snack to fill the gap between breakfast and dinner.

    1.People did not have lunch ______.

    A.until 1890

    B.after 1890

    C.since 1890 Dby 1890

    2.“Dinner, however, went the other way” means “______”.

    A.dinner didn’t go there with breakfast

    B.dinner took the same way as breakfast

    C.dinner got later

    D.dinner is the same with breakfast

    3.Breakfast has been a family meal since the ______ century.

    A.17th

    B.18th

    C.16th

    D.19th

    4.The passage is mostly concerned with ______.

    A.what people eat for breakfast

    B.what people eat for dinner

    C.the history of supper

    D.the history of the three meals

    5.The passage leads us to believe that ______.

    A.our custom of meals is based on an English custom

    B.before 1890 people didn’t eat three meals a day

    Breakfast

    Studies show that children who eat breakfast do better in school.It doesn't take much
    further thought to believe that adults will feel better and perform better at work as well.
    Whether you work at home,on the farm,at the office,at school,or on the road,it is not
    a good idea to skip(故意略去)breakfast.
    If we don't eat breakfast,we are likely to become tired when our brains and bodies run
    low on fuel.By mid-morning,a lot of us grab a cup of coffee,or wolf down a sugary candy
    bar to wake up again.This might work for a few minutes,but by lunchtime we are hungry,
    bad-tempered,and perhaps our mood might make us a little more likely to make unhealthy
    choices at lunch.Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day.
    People who eat breakfast are generally more likely to maintain a healthy weight.Many
    people believe that they will lose weight if they skip meals,but that isn't a good idea.The
    body expects to be refueled a few times a day, so start with a healthy breakfast.
    A healthy breakfast should contain some protein(蛋白质)and some fiber(纤维).Protein
    can come from meat,eggs,beans,or soy(大豆).Fiber can be found in whole cereals(谷
    物),grains or in fruits.A good example of a healthy breakfast might be something simple
    like a hard boiled egg,an orange,and a bowl of whole grain cereal with soy milk.

    Men are more likely to skip breakfast than women.

    考查副词辨析。句意为“令我们惊讶的是,相当多的中学生___________不吃早餐——一天中最重要的一餐”。originally“起初,原来”,namely“也就是,换句话说”,regularly“经常”,obviously“明显地”。C项最符合句意。

  • 第8题:

    In the US,people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don't know.This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available,even if a large one is.If you are sitting at a table with people you don't know,it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.
    At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order.You may find the bread and butter is free,and if you order coffee,you may get a free refill.
    Most cities and towns have no roles about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants,though they usually do make rules for bars.Especially in large cities,stores may be open 24 hours a day.
    Servings in restaurants are often large,too large for many people.If you can't finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later,ask your waitress or waiter for a"doggie bag".It may have a picture of a dog on it,but everybody knows you are taking food for yourself.
    Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal.Some people have"Sunday dinner".This is an especially big noon meal.
    Tips are not usually added to the check.They are not included in the price of the meal,either.A tip of about 15%is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave.In some restaurants,a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there.Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.

    Sunday dinner is~

    A.a dinner in the evening
    B.a big noon meal
    C.a big meal on Sunday

    Why Not Eat Breakfast?

    Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day,it is also the most neglected
    or skipped.Common reasons for not eating breakfast include lack of time,not feeling
    hungry,traditional dislike for breakfast,and dieting.
    Breakfast simply means"break the fast."Your body spends at least six to twelve
    hours each night in a fasting state.In the morning your body needs energy to rev up(转动
    起来)into high gear for the day's work ahead.
    If you skip breakfast,you are likely to concentrate less effectively in the late morning,
    feel irritable, short-tempered(易怒的),tired, or weak.
    When you choose not to eat breakfast,your body stays in slow gear.Also,people
    who skip breakfast often binge(无节制地大吃)later in the day at other meals or eat a high-
    calorie(高卡路里)snack in the morning.Breakfast eaters tend to eat less fat during the
    day,have more strength and endurance and better concentration and problem-solving
    ability.
    A good breakfast should provide up to 1 /3 of your total calorie needs for the day.On
    the average,we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner.If breakfast doesn't
    appeal to you in the morning,try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half
    your dinner for breakfast in the morning.
    If you still aren't hungry in the morning,start with something small like juice or toast or
    have a mid-morning snack later when you are hungry.
    Not eating breakfast can also cause you to overeat,since a fall in blood sugar often
    makes you feel very hungry later.To make matters worse,since your body is in a slowed
    state,it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently.If you feed your body
    healthy snacks and meals throughout the day,you are less likely to become extremely
    hungry and stuff yourself as soon as you begin to eat.
    Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day,choosing the right fuel
    is important.The best breakfast foods are fruits,juice,lean meat,and grain products
    such as breads,rice,noodles,and cereals.

    The word"fast"in the phrase"break the fast"in paragraph 2 means
    A:"a series of quick actions".
    B:"a habit of eating".
    C:"a strict rule".
    D:"a period of not eating".

    【参考译文】
    早餐不仅是每天最重要的一餐,它也是最容易被忽视的一餐。不吃早餐的常见原因包括:浪费时间、不饿、习惯上不喜欢吃早餐还有节食。
    简单说来早餐就是“打破禁食”。晚上睡觉时你的身体至少会有6-10个小时处在禁食状态。早上的时候你的身体需要能量为这一整天的工作进入高速运转。
    如果你没吃早餐,到了上午要结束的时候,你很可能效率很低,而且很急躁易怒,或者疲劳虚弱。
    如果你选择不吃早餐,你的身体运行仍保持低速状态。同时,没吃早餐的人,在一天中其他饭点常会无节制大吃,或是上午选择高热量的零食。吃早餐的人在一天中摄入的脂肪更少,精力和耐力更好,并且注意力更集中,解决问题能力更强。
    一份营养的早餐需要提供一天总能量的三分之一。平均起来,我们早餐摄入的热量比晚餐少400卡路里。如果早上确实没什么胃口,可以试试在前一天早点吃晚饭或者留一些晚饭当早餐吃。
    如果这样早上你还是不饿,你可以在饿的时候喝一点果汁,吃一小片面包或者一份上午点心。
    不吃早餐会导致你过度饮食,因为血糖降低常会使你在晚些时候觉得很饿。更糟糕的是,因为你的身体处在低速运行的状态,它不能够有效地转化那些多余的卡路里。如果你在一天中吃一点健康的零食和食物,你就不会很饿,也不好一开吃就吃个不停。
    既然早餐是第一餐也是每天最重要的一餐,选择吃什么也是很重要的。最好的早餐就是水果、果汁、瘦肉和谷物类食品,比如面包、米饭、面条和麦片。

    I know what you’re thinking : pizza (比萨饼)? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to

    I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早餐) , and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they don’t have time. others think they’re “saving” calories (卡路里), still others just don’t like breakfast food .

    But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking , R , D , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.

    Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southem California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.

    So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.

    Breakfast is very important. It- s one of the most important meals of the day. To build strong bodies and keep healthy, everyone should always eat a good breakfast. Eating the right food is needed for good health. We may have eggs, bread, milk, etc.for our breakfast.

    Many fathers and mothers don-t get their children to eat breakfast because they don't have breakfast themselves. It-s bad for their health.

    Without breakfast children may not grow as fast as they should and may not study and play as well in school in the morning as they could. They can be often ill, and when they're ill, it may take them longer to be in good health again than it takes children with good health habits.

    Passage 1
    As regards social conventions,we must say a word about the well-known English class system.This is an embarrassing subject for English people,and one they tend to be ashamed of,though?during the present century class-consciousness has grown less and less,and the class system less?rigid.But it still exists below the surface.Broadly speaking,it means there are two classes,the"middle class"and the"working class".(We shall ignore for a moment the old"upper class",including the hereditary aristocracy,since it is extremely small in numbers;but some of its members?have the right to sit in the House of Lords,and some newspapers take surprising interest in their?private life.)The middle class consists chiefly of well-to-do businessmen and professional people of?all kinds.The working class consists chiefly of manual and unskilled workers.
    The most obvious difference between them is in their accent.Middle-class people use slightly?varying kinds of"received pronunciation"which is the kind of English spoken by BBC announcers?and taught to overseas pupils.Typical working-class people speak in many different local accents?which are generally felt to be rather ugly and uneducated.One of the biggest barriers of social?equality in England is the two-class education system.To have been to a so-called"public school"immediately marks you out as one of the middle class.The middle classes tend to live a more formal?life than working-class people,and are usually more cultured.Their midday meal is"lunch"and?they have a rather formal evening meal called"dinner",whereas the working man′s dinner,if his?working hours permit,is at midday,and his smaller,late-evening meal is called supper.
    As we have said,however,the class system is much less rigid than it was,and for a long time it?has been government policy to reduce class distinctions.Working-class students very commonly?receive a university education and enter the professions,and working-class incomes have grown so?much recently that the distinctions between the two classes are becoming less and less clear.However,regardless of one′s social status,certain standards of politeness are expected of?everybody,and a well-bred person is polite to everyone he meets,and treats a laborer with the same?respect he gives an important businessman.Servility inspires both embarrassment and dislike.Even?the word"sir",except in school and in certain occupations(e.g.commerce,the army,etc.)sounds?too servile to be commonly used.

    Why Not Eat Breakfast?

    Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day,it is also the most neglected
    or skipped.Common reasons for not eating breakfast include lack of time,not feeling
    hungry,traditional dislike for breakfast,and dieting.
    Breakfast simply means"break the fast."Your body spends at least six to twelve
    hours each night in a fasting state.In the morning your body needs energy to rev up(转动
    起来)into high gear for the day's work ahead.
    If you skip breakfast,you are likely to concentrate less effectively in the late morning,
    feel irritable, short-tempered(易怒的),tired, or weak.
    When you choose not to eat breakfast,your body stays in slow gear.Also,people
    who skip breakfast often binge(无节制地大吃)later in the day at other meals or eat a high-
    calorie(高卡路里)snack in the morning.Breakfast eaters tend to eat less fat during the
    day,have more strength and endurance and better concentration and problem-solving
    ability.
    A good breakfast should provide up to 1 /3 of your total calorie needs for the day.On
    the average,we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner.If breakfast doesn't
    appeal to you in the morning,try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half
    your dinner for breakfast in the morning.
    If you still aren't hungry in the morning,start with something small like juice or toast or
    have a mid-morning snack later when you are hungry.
    Not eating breakfast can also cause you to overeat,since a fall in blood sugar often
    makes you feel very hungry later.To make matters worse,since your body is in a slowed
    state,it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently.If you feed your body
    healthy snacks and meals throughout the day,you are less likely to become extremely
    hungry and stuff yourself as soon as you begin to eat.
    Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day,choosing the right fuel
    is important.The best breakfast foods are fruits,juice,lean meat,and grain products
    such as breads,rice,noodles,and cereals.

    You can improve your appetite for breakfast by
    A:drinking a glass of milk before going to bed.
    B:not eating too much for dinner in the evening.
    C:eating a big dinner in the evening.
    D:having some juice and a toast for dinner.

    答案:B
    解析:
