Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been 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 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-from 8.8 million to 11.7 million-according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who feel pain or guilt about not earing 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 not taking breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition（营养）at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor doe 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 adu lts. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Ernesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor.”24. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that ______.A. the missing of breakfast does no harm to one’s health.B. several studies have been done in the past few years.C. adults have especially made studies in this field.D. eating little in the morning is good for health.25. The underlined sentence “…nor doe giving people breakfast improve performance” in the 3rd paragraph means ______.A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performance.B. not giving people breakfast improves performance.C. people having breakfast do improve their performances, too.D. having breakfast does not improve performance, either.26. The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to ______.A. stories, poems, plays, etc.B. written works on particular subject.C. any printed material.D. the modern literature of America.27. What is suggested but NOT STATED by the author is that ______.A. breakfast does not affect performance.B. Dr. Pollitt is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning.C. not eating breakfast might affect the health of children.D. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London.CIn the latter part of the 20th century, child labor remains a serious problem in many parts of the world. Studies carried out in 1979, the International Year of the Children, showed that more than 50 million children below the age of 15 were working in various jobs often under dangerous conditions. Many of these children live in underdeveloped countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Their living conditions are crude and their chances for education small. The poor income they bring in, however, is necessary for the survival of their families. Frequently, these families lack the basic necessities of life—adequate food, decent（得体的、合适的）clothing and shelter, and even water for bathing.In some countries industrialization has created working conditions for children that are comparable to the worst features of the 19th-century factories and mines. In India, for example, some 20,000 children work 16-hour days in match factories.Child-labor problems are not, of course, limited to developing nations. They occur wherever poverty exists in Europe and the United States. The most important efforts to eliminate（根除）child-labor abuses throughout the world come from the International Labor Organization (ILO), founded in 1919 and now a special agency of the United Nations. The organization has introduced several child-labor conventions（规定）among its members, including a minimum（最低）age of 16 years for admission to all work, a higher minimum age of specific types of employment, compulsory（强制的）medical examinations, and It depends on voluntary obedience（服从）of member nations.28. The use of children workers is the most serious ______.A. in the latter part of the 20th centuryB. in the International Year of the Child in 1979C. in the poorest and backward parts of the worldD. in some areas of Latin America29. Often children have to work because ______.A. they can not afford to go to schoolB. they are forced to work by their parentsC. there is no organization to protect themD. they have to provide for their families30. According to the UN conventions, ______.A. employers should provide medical care for children workersB. children can not be employedC. children should never be arranged to work at nightD. all countries should give children workers regular physical examinations31. As far as child labor is concerned, in India, ______.A. children workers work the longest hoursB. the working conditions for children are really very badC. most children workers are employed in match factoriesD. there has been great improvement in the working condition since the last centuryDThe single, decisive factor that made it possible for mankind to settle in lasting communities（社区，聚居地）was agriculture. After farming was developed in the Middle East in about 6500 BC, people living in family units did not have to be on the move continually searchingfor food or hunting their animals. Once people could control the production of food and be assured of a reliable supply of it, their lives changed completely.Farming was a revolutionary discovery. It not only made settlements possible and later the building of cities but it also made available a reliable food supply. With more food available, more people could be fed. Population therefore increased. The growing number of people available for more kinds of work led to the development of new social formations. With more and more food, a community could support a variety of workers who were not farmers.Farming in the world over has always relied upon a dependable water supply. For the earliest societies this meant rivers and streams or regular rainfall. The first great civilizations grew up along rivers. Later communities were able to develop by taking advantage of the rainy seasons.All of the ancient civilizations probably developed in much the same way, in spite of a few differences. As villages grew, the production of more numerous goods became possible. Cloth could be woven from wool. Houses made of wood, brick, and stone could be put up.The science of mathematics was an early outcome of agriculture. People studied the movements of the moon, the sun, and the planets to work out seasons, By doing so they created the first calendars（日历）. With a calendar it was possible to find out the arrival of each growing season. Measurement of land areas was necessary if field was to be divided accurately. Measurement of amounts, for example, of seeds or grains was also a factor in farming and housekeeping. Later measures of value as money exchange became common.All of the major ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China appeared in the 4th millennium（千年）BC. Historians still argue over which one came into being first. It may well have been the Middle East. This place reaches out from the Nile River in Egypt northward along the coast of former Palestine, then eastward into Asia to include Mesopotamia. In this area people settled along the riverbanks and practiced field agriculture. This kind of farming depended on the reproduction of seed, normally from grain crops.32. The final result of the development of agriculture was that ______.A. a new social formation came into beingB. the population increased slowly.C. a variety of jobs were open to peopleD. a constant supply of food was certain33. Which of the following is true according to the writer?A. Cloth making marked an important period in agricultural development.B. Modern cities developed out of originally wealthier villages.C. Societies in the past in different parts of the world grew in similar waysD. Mathematics helped create the agricultural society.34. It can be safely concluded that ______.A. the earliest civilization first came into being in the Middle East.B. the development of agriculture played a very important role in human historyC. the development of maths played a decisive role in the birth of modern citiesD. all ancient civilizations around the world developed in exactly the same way35. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the relationship between agriculture and societyB. the origin of agricultureC. the ancient civilizationD. the importance of agriculture第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
