网络资源 免费考研网/2009-01-16
Questions 63-65 are based on the following passage
Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe
that a good breakfast is one of life’s essentials. Eating
breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and
told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the
family car before starting a trip.
But for many people the thought of food as first thing in
the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the
efforts, they still bake no breakfast. Between 1977 and
1983, the latest year for which figures are available,
number pf people who didn’t have breakfast increase by 33
percent——from 8.8 million to 11.7 million——according to
the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.
For those who feel pain or guilt about not eating
breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several
students in the last few years indicate that, for adults
especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting
breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect
performance,” said Armold E.Bender, former professor of
nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does
giving people breakfast improve performance.”
Scientists’ evidence linking to better health or better
performance is surprisingly inadequate and most of the
recent work involves children, not adults. “The
literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Ernersto Pollitt at
the University of Texas, “is poor”.
63. The latest year for which figure could be obtained is
A. The year the author wrote the article.
B. 1977
C. Any year between 1977 and 1983
D. 1983
64the word “Literature” in the last sentence refers to
A. Stories, poems, plays, etc.
B. Written works on particular subject.
C. Any printed material.
D. The modern literature of America.
65. What is implied but not stated by the author is that
A. Breakfast does not affect performance.
B. Dr. Pollitt is engaged in research work at an
institution of higher learning.
C. Not eating breakfast might affect the health of
children.
D. Professor Bendor once taught college courses in
nutrition in London.
