Part ⅢReading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill.
You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you
are instructed.
Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or
statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the
correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet
with a single line through the center.
Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast? Recently a 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 show 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 to class.
Opposite 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 weight instead of losing. Y ou will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
36. During the test, those who were tested were given ________.
A. no breakfast at all
B. very rich breakfast
C. little food for breakfast
D. different breakfast or none
37. The results of the test show that ________.
A. breakfast has great effect on work and studies
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 much for breakfast
38. The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast, you will _________.
A. lose weight
B. not lose weight
C. be healthier
D. gain a lot of weight
39. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A. Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains.
B. Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.

A. he will fall ill
B. he will fail to listen to his teacher

D. his mind will work more slowly
