Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have beentold,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 the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure So despite all the efforts,they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didnt have breakfast increased by 33%from 8.8 million to 11.7 million-according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America. For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years have shownthat,for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. Going without breakfast doesnot affect work,said Arnold E.Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, nor does giving people breakfast improve work. Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate(不充分) ,and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. The literature, says one researcher, Dr. Earnest Polite at the University of Texas, is poor.40.Which of these is mentioned in the second paragraph?3分AThe number of the people who skip breakfast has increased.BMany people fill their cars with gasoline in the morning.C8.8 million people got involved in a study on eating habits.DA company carried out a research in 1983.41.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part?3分AHaving breakfast does not improve work, either.BGiving people breakfast improves work.CGoing without breakfast can improve work, too.DHaving breakfast does improve work.42.What does the word literature in the last sentencerefer to?3分AModem American literature.BAny printed materials.CWritten works on a subject.DStories, poems and plays.43.Which of the following statements best summarizes the writers conclusion about the function of breakfast?3分AOmitting breakfast helps improve work.BEating breakfast is absolutely necessary.CScientists have produced sufficient evidence in support of breakfast.DThere isnt strong evidence to prove that breakfast is a must.四、阅读理解（3）Passage ThreeWhen you stretch out in the sun you can do oneof the three things: you can use no sun tan oil, anordinary sun tan oil; or Bergasol.If you dont use any sun tan oil when youre inthe sun, you will burn surprisingly quickly. If you usean ordinary sun tan oil, you will protect your skin to a lesser or greater degree.How much protection depends on the protection-factor number on the bottle. Some oils block out so many of the suns rays and you can stay in the sun all day without burning but you wont go very brown,either.Bergasol will protect your skin like an ordinarysun tan oil. It also has a tan accelerator that speeds up the rate at which the sun activates the skin cells that produce melanin(黑色素). It is melanin that gives the skin its brown colour. Bergasol enables you to gobrown faster,am as the days pass the difference will become more obvious.Unfortunately, this special formulation isnt Cheap to prepare.So Bergasol is rather more expensive than ordinary sun tan oil. However, the price looks more attractive as you do.BergasoiIt makes you go brown fasterProtection Many people imagine that cover-up means you dont get a tan. Nothing to show for your holiday.Not so. With cover-up, you can get brown ifyou want to. The point of cover-up is to protectyour skin from the harmful rays of the sun which,according to the experts ,make your skin look older.Thats what Solex Cover-up is all about-protection for your skin. It has a Sun Protection Factor 8, which makes it suitable for anyone. Find out how it works for you by consulting the Solex Sun Chart. On sale wherever Solex is. With Solex Cover-up, you can tan as slowly as you like. As gently as you like. And with much lesschance of peeling. Your tan will look better. Yourskin will stay young longer.SolexGentle tan., full protection44.What can we learn from the second advertisement?3分AIt is easy to get a suntan in summer.BSuntan is regarded as a sign of protection.CSunlight could make one look older.DEveryone wants to get a suntan from holiday.45.Why is Solex suitable for everyone?3分AIts price is more attractive.BIt can be used to relieve sunburn.CIt can make the skin cells more active.DIt has a mild protection factor.46.Compared with Solex, Bergasol_3分Ahelps one go brown more quicklyBbetter protects ones skinCis more competitive in priceDis a better sun tan oil47.What is the most attractive feature of Solex Cover-up?3分AIt helps one get a more beautiful tan.BIt is often on sale in supermarkets.CIt blocks out more suns rays than other oils.DIt helps one tan gradually and gently.四、阅读理解（4）Passage FourIdeas about polite behaviour differ from one culture to another.Some societies, such as America andAustralia,for example, are mobile and very open. Peoplehere change jobs and move house quite often. As a m result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only ma short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So its normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard aspersonal.On the other hand, there are more crowded and lessmobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example,will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, its no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts ofquestions that you dont want to answer.Cross-cultural differences arent just a problem for travelers, but also for people in daily life. Some societies have universalist cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. Particularist ( 强调特性的)societies also have rules, but they are less important than the societys unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.48.What can be learned from Paragraph 1?3分APeople from a mobile society dislike talking about personal affairs.BShort-term relationships are common in a mobile society.CAmericans tend to make more friends than people from other cultures.DIt is difficult for Americans and Australians to communicate with strangers.49.Who do Malaysians prefer to start business with according to the passage?3分AThose who talk a lot about themselves.BThose who they know well enough.CThose who enjoy talking with strangers.DThose who want to do business with them.50.Which of the following is true about the rules in particularist societies?3分AThey change to fit different situations.BPeople respect and obey them completely.CThey dont exist.DNo one obeys them.51.What is the main idea of this passage?3分APolite behaviour varies with different cultures.BLess mobile societies have fewer rules.CPeople from mobile societies are more polite.DCultural differences are important.四、阅读理解（5）Passage FiveClaude-Oscar Monet ( 1840 - 1926 ) was a Frenchartist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters.

When exhibited in 1874, part of its title was used by a critic to label the whole movement Impressionism.Monets wife died in 1879,and he set up home withAlice Hoschede, the wife of one of his most importantsponsors. During the 1880s, Monet traveled through France painting a variety of landscapes. He graduallybecame better known and for the last 30 years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the Impressionists.From 1890 he began to paint a series (系列 ) ofpictures of one subject, including Haystacks RouenCathedral and Waterlilies. The latter were painted in the fine garden Monet created at his house at Giverny, where he lived from 1883 on.
