Question

I know what you’re thinking: pizza（比薩餅）？ For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.

I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早飯), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saying” calories (卡路里)，still others just don’t like breakfast food.學(xué)科But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight .“Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R.D. ,  who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.學(xué)科Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.

So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers – it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow.” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it … you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.

The word “l(fā)eftovers” in paragraph I probably means  ______.

A. food remaining after a meal           B. things left undone

Answer 1

【小題1】A

【小題2】B

【小題3】A

【小題4】B

解析:

這篇閱讀理解是一篇大家比較熟悉的一個(gè)話題：“建議吃好早餐”。這篇文章文字簡(jiǎn)單，就總體而言，考生大致能理解和掌握它的大意：一些人們對(duì)早餐的誤解；不吃早餐能減肥等錯(cuò)誤的做法。從選材和文字特點(diǎn)方面可以看出，這篇文章通俗易懂，不“偏”不“怪”。如果感覺(jué)完形難度偏大的學(xué)生在做這道試題時(shí)，會(huì)相對(duì)輕松。

【小題1】猜測(cè)詞義題。 可以根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法猜測(cè)詞義。Left over為詞組留下的意思，leftover是其名詞形式。

【小題2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段開(kāi)頭可以推斷，很多人對(duì)早餐的意義認(rèn)識(shí)不到。

【小題3】段義歸納題。最后一段的eat something in the morning是本段的主題句。

【小題4】主旨大意題。由第三段和第四段反復(fù)出現(xiàn)lose weight可知答案。
