第三局部：阅读理解〔一共20小题，每一小题2分；一共40分〕

A
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 brea kfast， 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. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
56. 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 breakfasts or none
57. The result 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

58. The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don’t eat breakf ast，you will___________.
A. lose weight
B. not lose weight
C. be healthier
D. gain a lot of weight
59. According to the passage， if a student does not eat breakfast， ________________.
A. he will fall ill
B. he will fail to listen to his teacher
C. he will not make progress in his study
D. his mind will work more slowly

Today there are policemen everywhere， but in 1700， London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid.
About 300 years ago， London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to live there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possible.
In 1750， Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called “Bow Street Runners〞 because they worked near Bow Street. Fifty years later，there were 120 “Bow Street Runners〞， but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So in 1829， the first Metropolitan (or London) Police Force was started with 3，000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot， but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the police in London were men. Today， London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still ride horses， the pay is even better than for the others.

The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments outside the jeweler’s before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace〔项链〕. He wasn’t used to buying jewelry and was a little worried about overspending， because he was not very rich. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type， the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. Half an hour later than planned， James did return to the shop with his future wife， Laura. The assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces， she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose， and then gave them the ones she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied. Later James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when he got married.

The United States covers a large part of the North American continent. Its neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Although the United States is a big country， it is not the largest in the world. In 1964， its population was over 185 000 000.
When this land first became a nation， after winning its independence〔HY〕from England， it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented〔代表〕on the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west， new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time， there were 48 stars. In 1959， however，two more stars were added to the flag， representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.
Indians were the first people of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country. Sometimes i t is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans〞. Most Americans come from all over the world.

Global warming is one of the major environmental problems we are facing today.
Scientists think a further rise in the carbon dioxide levels will make this situation worse. The greenhouse effect causes the earth’s heat to be trapped in the atmosphere, which results in the increase in temperature. This, in turn, has an effect on various plants and animals. Global warming makes it difficult for some of them to survive.
Ozone depletion means a drop in the quantity of the ozone(臭氧) in the earth’s stratosphere (平流层). The ozone hole in the Antarctic is mainly due to the release of CFCs ( a type of gas). Because of ozone depletion, humans are facing various problems such as the harmful effects of UV rays.
Water pollution is caused when wastes are thrown into wat er. What’s more, many harmful chemicals are also put into water, which causes the deaths of many wild animals and endangers the health of humans.
The increasing population is causing a loss of natural resources. This is related to various human activities. For example, overfishing has caused many kinds of fishes to die out. Forests are being cleared to meet the rising demand for paper, wood, even for land. Mining, the work of getting gold, coal etc out of the earth, has led to a further drop in mineral resources. If we used up all the resources, how could our children survive on this planet?
These are some of the current environmental problems we are facing today. Only with an effort from each person, can we hope to save our planet from being destroyed.
