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 showed 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 in class Contrary 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 some weight instead of losing some You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals 41 During the test those who were tested were given A no breakfast at all B a very rich breakfast C little food for breakfast D different breakfasts or none 42 The results of the test showed that A breakfast has a great effect on work and study 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 a lot for breakfast 43 The passage infers that many people believe that if you don t eat breakfast you will A lose weight B not lose or gain weight C be healthier D gain a lot of weight 4 44 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage A Poor breakfasts affect those who work with their brains B Having no breakfast may cause one to get fatter C Having a big lunch and supper is of great value in weight losing D Eating less for lunch and supper may help to lose weight B Life is difficult It is great truth because once we truly understand and accept it then life is no longer difficult Most do not fully see this truth Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy It seems to them that difficulties represent 代表 a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or upon their families their class or even their nation What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one Problems depending on their nature cause us sadness loneliness or regret or anger and fear These are uncomfortable feelings often as painful as any kind of physical pain And since life causes an endless series of problems life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy Yet it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning Problems are the serious tests that tell us success from failure When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit we encourage the human ability to solve problems just as in school we set problems for our children to solve It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn As Benjamin Franklin said Those things that hurt instruct It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems 45 From the passage it can be inferred that A everybody has problems B we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life C life is difficult because our problems bring us pain D people like to complain about their problems 46 The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to A save space B persuade readers C makes readers laugh D get readers attention 47 The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that A most people feel life is easy B the writer feels life is easy C the writer likes to complain about his problems D most people complain about how hard their lives are 48 According to the passage we give schoolchildren difficult problems to solve in order to A encourage them to learn 5 B teach them to fear the pain of solving the problem C helps them learn to deal with pain D teach them how to solve problems C In old times man considered lightning to be one of the greatest mysteries of nature In fact a single flash of lightning 1 6 km long has enough electricity to light one million lamps The American scientist Benjamin Franklin was the first to suggest that lightning is in fact electricity formed between the Earth and clouds high above It happened in 1752 In the same year he also built the first lightning rod to protect buildings from being struck by lightning Modern science has discovered that lightning is very long and powerful A lightning between a cloud and the Earth may be as long as 13 km and travels at a speed of 30 million meters per second Scientists have the opinion that there are about 2 billion flashes of lightning per year In the United States alone it kills almost one person per day The safest place to be in during an electrical storm is a closed car Outside one should go close to low ground for cover and not stop under a tree Also one should stay out of water and away from metal fences Inside a house people should keep away from open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things 49 From the passage we know that lightning is A one of the great mysterious of nature B electricity high above the Earth C a kind of light D the sound from the clouds 50 In the USA A every person can see lightning every day B at least one person is killed by lightning every day C there are about 6 million flashes of lightning per year D about one person per day dies from lightning 51 During a lightning storm it would be best if you A stand under a tree B go outside C stay in a closed car D stop near windows 52 A lightning rod can A prevent accidents caused by lightning B stop lightning C protect building from being washed away D delay the coming of lightning D Looking back on my childhood I get to believe that naturalists are born and not made Although we were all brought up in the same way my brothers and sisters soon threw away their pressed flowers and insects Unlike them I had 6 no ear for music and languages I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary I have only the unclear memory of the house we lived in of my room and my toys Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents aunts uncles and cousins who gathered next door But I do have a clear memory of the dogs the farm animals the local birds and above all the insects I am a naturalist not a scientist I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm 热情 has led me into varied investigations 调查 I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people s observations and discoveries Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind Suddenly you wonder you see the answer to the riddle 迷 because it all seems to fit together This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books which some might honour with the title of scientific research But curiosity a keen eye a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist one of the outstanding qualities required is self discipline a quality I lack A scientist requires not only self discipline but hard training determination and a goal A scientist up to a point can be made A naturalist is born If you can combine the two you get the best of both worlds 53 The first paragraph tells us that the author A was born to a naturalist s family B lost his hearing when he was a child C didn t like his brothers and sisters D was interested in flowers and insects 54 The author can t remember his relatives clearly because A he didn t live long with them B he was fully busy observing nature C the family was too large to remember D he was too young when he lived with them 55 It can be inferred from the passage that the author was A a naturalist but not a scientist B more a good observer than a listener C no more than a born naturalist D a scientist as well as a naturalist 56 The author says he s a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he A lacks some of the qualities required of a scientist B he couldn t do mental arithmetic C he was brought up in a family of farmers D he was not knowledgeable enough E When I opened my E mail the other day a pretty woman named Rachel 7 appeared on my computer screen She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss She was reading to me an E mail from my brother and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high speed Internet connection It was pretty cool Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail Facemail lets you send an E mail that gets ready to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown 小丑 The software which is free can be downloaded at www facemail com Facemail faces are lifelike and they simulate 模拟 emotions based on emotions that you put in your text For example type in X and Rachel blows a kiss The company that develops the Facemail is sure there are broad business uses The reason E business is not popular the company says is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch but what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name waited on you and personally closed the sale And it is talking with Whirlpool 惠普公司 about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge Then if Mom can t be home when the kids get back from school she can leave a note with a voice and image telling them what there is to eat Facemail could get hot fast Personally I m a fan But Facemail should be used with care The clown looks lively and funny at first But if you select the clown put a few rude words in an E mail and add some angry emotions you ve got a Psycho mail 疯人型电子邮件 57 The pretty woman that appears on the writer s computer
