Question

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is also the most neglect (忽視). Common reasons for not eating breakfast include having no time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike and dieting.

Breakfast simply means “break the fast’’. Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state. In the morning your body needs energy for the day’s work ahead. 

A good breakfast should provide 1/3 of your total calorie needs for the day. On average, we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner. If you don’t feel like having breakfast in the morning, try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half of your dinner for breakfast in the morning.

If you still aren’t hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or toast or have a nutritious(有營養(yǎng)的) mid-morning snack later when you are hungry.

So, you say you are on a diet. Some people fear that eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more. It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you feel hungry throughout the day. That is because your body is working correctly. Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long, in reality you are probably not.

Not eating breakfast can also cause you overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later. To make matters worse, since your body is in a slow state, it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently(有效). If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day, you are less likely to become hungry and stuff (填飽) yourself as soon as you begin to eat.

Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, choosing the right food is important. The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lean meat and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles and cereals.

試題分析：本文敘述了有些人有某種原因不吃早飯，在文中交代了吃早飯的重要性，它能給人們提供人的一天所需的1/3的熱量，并且提出如果你早晨不愿吃飯，可以在晚上少吃點(diǎn)，第二天早晨可以再吃點(diǎn)，這樣才能工作的更好，最后又指出早餐應(yīng)該吃什么樣的食物。

1.這是詞義猜測題。根據(jù)Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state. a fasting state禁食狀態(tài)，可知應(yīng)選B。

2.這是細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)If you don’t feel like having breakfast in the morning, try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half of your dinner for breakfast in the morning.在晚上時(shí)少吃點(diǎn)，以便第二天早晨能夠吃早飯，故選D。

3.這是細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)A good breakfast should provide 1/3 of your total calorie needs for the day. That is because your body is working correctly. 吃早飯是為了更好的工作，故選C。

4.這是主旨大意題。根據(jù)The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lean meat and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles and cereals.這是本段的中心句，故選C。

點(diǎn)評：閱讀理解的主旨大意題其實(shí)主要考查考生把握全文內(nèi)容或理解文章中心思想的能力以及分析歸納文章段落大意、重要情節(jié)、人物特征和寫作特點(diǎn)等方面的能力。文章的主旨大意明確了，若還具備分析長難句的能力，難的試題也會(huì)迎刃而解。
