题型：河南省期中题难度：来源：
tests 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. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
A. no breakfast at all
B. very rich breakfast
C. little food for breakfast
D. different foods or none

A. breakfast has great effect on work and studies

food factories all over the world since it appeared first in Japan in 1909.
MSG is a substance that is added to some food to improve its original (原先的) taste and color. It is
used in foods around the world such as cakes, bread, frozen meats, fish and vegetables. In the beginning,
people thought MSG was safe just like salt and sugar. However, in 1968 some people reported they
seemed to have bad reactions (反应) to MSG after having had a meal at a restaurant. They included
headaches and quick heartbeat (心跳). It was also reported that MSG excited a person"s brain and
caused his death in Japan. Scientists think that MSG may lead to many
neurological disorders (神经紊乱). In mice studies done by a university, the evidence showed the mice didn"t want to eat the food
including MSG.
Today many food companies "hide" MSG on food labels (标签) by using different names. If you see
"natural flavorings", "hydrolyzed protein" and "spices" in a food label, you are probably seeing a hidden
way to "report" MSG in a food label. Every time we have a meal in a restaurant, we always feel the food
very delicious to taste, but sometimes it is dangerous for our health because some poisonous food
additives have been added to the food.
To protect people"s health,
our governments, from central to local, are taking actions to stop factories producing poisonous food additives.
A. a food
B. an additive
C. a factory
D. a country

4. If you see "natural flavorings"," hydrolyzed protein" and "spices" in a food label, you will know _____.
A. you must eat the food in a hidden way
B. the food label must be hidden
C. MSG is probably added to the food

| UK students get more morrung rest You get lost in the forest, and then you walk forward and fall over. Opening your eyes, you find yoursclfin a swimming pool full of chocolate. Just when you"re about to enjoy the chocolate,a voice shouls,“CET UP!!" This isn"t some boot camp（新兵训练营）．It"s the wake-up call that every teenager in the UK goes through each morning. Sleeping late is their dream, but they have to get up and go to school early in themorning. Now,one school finally understands that asking teenagers to amve at school at 9:00 a.m. is not just unfair but can also hurt both kids and their studies. The Monkseaton High School in England recently decided to see whether there was any diffrence they started their school day one hour later, at 10:00 am instead of"9:00 am. The results have been surprising. Since the later start, 28 percent fewer students have been absent,seven percent fewer have been late. Best of all, students get higher test scores. One stude.nt, Emelye Hood, 13, said, "When I get more sleep,I can focus(集中精力）more on my lessons.” In trying the experiment（试验）,the school used studies by Oxford scientist Russell Foster,a neuroscientist（神经系统学专家）．He says that teenagers have different sleep cycles（周期）than adults.Adults are active and ready for the day at 8:00 am, while teenagers aren"t fully awake until 10:00 am. Ryan Thompson, 13, also welcomes the later start. He says, "Now I get to sleep and don"t rush breakfast. It makes me much happier to go to school.” |

| We all know that as the population of a city grows, so do its problems. Pollution, too many cars, and crowded streets are just a few of these difficulties. One way to help with these problems is city trains. Trains traveling to different parts of a city means fewer cars and buses on our roads, cleaner air, and more open streets. In recent years, cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai have all built city train lines. The first city train line in China was built in Beijing. The oldest part of the train line, from Beijing Stop to Pingguoyuan, was opened in 1969. Its length was 23.6 kilometres. As the city grew after 1980, so did the need for more trains.A newer train line was built to help move people around the city centre. The 16-kilometre-long "circle line" was finished in 1987. Since that time even more train stations have been built and today the train lines in the city are over 50 kilometres long. For the coming beautiful future, the trains of Beijing will be very important. We all know that most of the people who go to work or go to school will travel by train. |
