Part II Reading Comprehension （本大题共20小题，每小题2分，共40分）
Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Passage 1
Is breakfast the most important meal of the day? My generation certainly grew up hearing and believing in this statement, which doesn’t stop most of us from rushing out in the morning with only a cup of coffee and a piece of toast. However, in an estimated 40 percent of American families there isn’t even an adult present in the kitchen to urge children to finish their breakfast. So, more children avoid breakfast than any other meal.
While no one has proven that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it’s at least of equal importance with lunch and dinner. Experts warn that your body burns the energy from food within four hours. Although you may use up less energy while you sleep, it’s a long time until morning and you still wake up with the need for lots more fuel.
Some studies have shown that children who avoid breakfast don’t do as well in school. Besides lack of energy, we all know how tough it is to focus when your stomach’s making noises and you're counting hours until lunch.
In addition, a recent Canadian study suggests that avoiding breakfast may increase the chance of a heart attack. It's been known that the incidence of heart attacks is highest in the first few hours after waking.
So, there’s no doubt the importance of breakfast is more than just an old wives’ tale. The problem comes in following the advice. How do you find time to make a proper meal and then make time to eat it?
The American Health Association recommends that breakfast should supply at least one-fourth of the daily food needs. And it’s important to include a variety of foods to supply energy until the next meal. Foods like bread can be digested (消化) in as little as 30 minutes; however, foods like eggs, milk, meat, and cheese last longer, and can help you make it to lunchtime.
1. Today the saying “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” is ___ A __.
A. paid less attention to B. totally out of date C. no longer a truth D. of no value
2. According to the passage breakfast is ____C_______ lunch and dinner.
A. better than B. less important than C. as important as D. more important than
3. The passage mentions that not having breakfast can cause children to have trouble ___B___.
A. listening B. focusing C. exercising D. waiting
4. People who do not have breakfast may be more likely to ___D___.
A. get more work done B. have frequent headaches C. lose too much weight D. suffer from heart disease
5. Having various foods for breakfast ____B____.
A. means you can eat less for lunch B. can supply you with energy until lunch
C. may make you successful in the day D. will give you warmth the whole day
Passage 2
A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work.
He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. It is easy to get such an idea even though there is not a good reason for it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental skills, or he may accept another person’s mistaken estimate of his ability.
A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will add to his belief about his incompetence.
Alfred Adler, a famous psychiatrist, had an experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought. In this way, they too developed the idea. He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.
One day he became very angry at the teacher and the other students because they laughed when he said he saw how to do a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve.
When Adler succeeded in solving the problem, he rejected the idea that he couldn’t do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His anger and his new found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became very good at arithmetic.
This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one’s ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability.
1. What’s the main idea of the passage? A
A. A wrong self-image may prevent one from reaching his full potential.
B. It's easy for a person to believe in his own incompetence.
C. Never take to heart what others think of you. D. Lack of success is often the result of lack of ability.
2. Why a person’s mistaken notion often results in failure? C
A. He believes he’ll succeed one day. B. He feels that he’s not good enough.
C. He believes he’ll fail anyway. D. He doesn’t need to make any effort.
3. What’s the function of Alfred Adler’s example in the whole passage? B
A. Alfred Adler’s experience illustrates his poor start in math.
B. Alfred Adler’s story exemplifies the author’s conclusion.
C. Alfred Adler’s example shows his real ability in arithmetic.
D. Alfred Adler’s example teaches us the value of self-confidence.
4. According to the author, what’s the reason of a child for thinking he is stupid? D
A. There’s not a good reason for this kind of thinking. B. Because the people around him tell him it.
C. Because he never thinks that he can also be smart.
D. Because he does not know how to make full use of his mental powers.
5. According to the author, many people’s mental pictures about themselves are ______C____.
A. correct B. in focus C. out of focus D. accurate
Passage 3
There were days in which Danny could forget that he had graduated from Boston University. After 17 years of education in the finest schools in America, he couldn’t repair a burnt connection in his car or locate a carburetor (化油器).
Danny is an educated man. He is a master of writing papers, taking tests, talking, and filling out forms. He can discuss Freud from a Marxian viewpoint and he can discuss Marx from a Freudian viewpoint.
In short, Danny is a worker without skills, and he has a sociology degree to prove it. He is of very little use to American industry. This is nothing new. Colleges have been turning out workers of this sort for decades. Until five years ago, most of these workers took their degrees in sociology, philosophy, political science, or history, and marched right into the American middle class. Some found work in business and government but many, if not most, went into education, which is the only thing they knew anything about. Once there, they taught another generation the skills necessary to take tests and write papers.
But the cycle broke down. There are too many teachers these days, college applications are down, plumbers are making $12 an hour, and graduates with degrees in fields like sociology are faced with a choice: graduate school or drive a taxi.
Danny chose the taxi because driving was about the only skill he had that he could make money with. Danny refers to his job as “Real World 101”. He has been beaten and shot at. But he has also acquired some practical skills: he can get his tickets fixed; he knows how to cheat the company out of a few extra dollars a week; he found his carburetor, and he can fix it.
1. What did Danny’s schooling teach him? C
A. How to repair cars. B. How to make choices. How to write papers. D. How to teach classes.
2. Five years ago, a college degree ensured _______C_______.
A. a position doing graduate studies B. a skilled job for college graduates
C. a place in the American middle class D. a set of skills that was very useful
3. What is causing the system of college study to break down? C
A. There are better jobs to be had. B. There are not enough students.
C. There are too many teachers. D. There are few good jobs for us.
4. Why did Danny choose to drive a taxi after he graduated from college? D
A. He wanted to get more true experience in society.
B. He wanted to learn the new skill of repairing cars.
C. Taxi drivers can earn more than middle class people.
D. He had no other skill to support himself but driving.
5. Though his job is difficult and dangerous, Danny ____B__.
A. has begun to enjoy his new job B. has learned skills that are useful
C. has finally forgotten his old life D. has learned more than in college
Passage 4
Have you ever felt your mind getting confused after a sleepless night and you couldn’t come up with an original thought no matter how hard you tried?
You were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep. Dr. Home, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students. One group got their normal eight hours of sleep. The other group didn't get any sleep at all—they stayed awake all night. The next day, Dr. Home tested the students. He asked them questions that required creative and original thinking. One of the questions was “How many uses can a box be put to?”
The results? The wide-awake students did well on the tests. The tired students did poorly.
Research has already shown that tired people can do okay on tests of routine thinking, like simple addition. But Dr. Home tested creative thinking only.
As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the tired students if they did well. But even this encouragement wasn’t enough to help the students overcome their tiredness. They still did poorly. Dr. Home believes that the part of the brain where thinking takes place may get worn out during waking hours. Sleep may help to repair the brain overnight. Without any sleep, he emphasizes, “even if you think harder, you cannot do better.”
This study gives people something to think about, especially people like hospital workers and airplane pilots, who must stay awake all night and then make emergency decisions.
1. According to the passage, failure to think of new ideas may be ____ A ____.
A. caused by a lack of sleep B. caused by hard questions C. caused by a weak brain D. caused by too much study
2. Tired people have no problem with ______C______.
A. finding uses for boxes B. making creative ideas C. doing simple math tests D. taking research tests
3. The purpose for offering money to the tired students was to ___ D__.{how,can,a,person,make,his}.
A. help them repair their brains B. stimulate their interests C. convince people to join D. encourage them to do better
4. Sleep might help people by _____ A_____.
A. repairing the brain B. giving creative dreams C. providing fresh energy D. allowing harder thought
5. This information is useful to people like nurses and pilots because ____ D____.
A. they often meet situations in which they must be creative
B. they often take tests to display their abilities to do their jobs
C. they often go to the hospital because of brain problems
D. they often get little sleep but make important decisions
