18、se五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life“s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But
19、 for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn“t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent. For th
20、ose who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies 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 Arrold E. Bender, forme
21、r professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.“ Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literatu

24、A.anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB.not giving people breakfast improve performanceC.having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD.people having breakfast do improve their performance(4).The word “literature“ in the last sentence refers to _.（分数：3.00）A.stories, poems, p
25、lays, etc.B.written works on a particular subjectC.any printed materialD.the modern literature of America(5).What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _.（分数：3.00）A.breakfast does not affect performanceB.Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningC.not eati
26、ng breakfast might affect the health of childrenD.Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：15.00)About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to eit
27、her a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B. A. ) or Bachelor Science (B. S. ) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (
28、二年级生) or junior (三年级生). It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more t
29、han state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require
30、 such advanced studies. Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time. While the college and work deman
31、ds take up the great part of a student“s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.（分数：
