Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, an
19、d 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 the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So in spite of all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which f
20、igures could be obtained, the number of people who didnt have breakfast increased by 33%from 8.8 million to 11.7 millionaccording to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America. For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few yea
21、rs have shown that, for grown-ups especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting (省略) breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect work,” said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve work.” Scientifi
22、c evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly little, and most of the recent work involves children, not grown-ups. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr Earnest Polite at the University of Texas, “is poor.” 41. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is
23、 that _.A. several studies have been done in the past few yearsB. eating little in the morning is good for healthC. the omission of breakfast has little effect on ones work D. grown-ups have especially made studies in this field42. The sentence in paragraph 3 “nor does giving people breakfast improv
24、e work” means _.A. people without breakfast can improve their workB. having breakfast does not improve work, either C. not giving people breakfast improves workD. people having breakfast do improve their work, too 43 The word literature in the last sentence refers to _.A. stories, poems, play, etc B
25、. the films about the breakfastC. newspaper articles or novels D. written works on a topic 44. What is implied in the passage is that _.A. Breakfast does not affect workB. Dr Polite works at Market Research CorporationC. Not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD. Professor Bender onc
26、e taught college courses in nutrition in Chicago45. The main idea of the passage is that _.A. breakfast has nothing to do with peoples healthB. breakfast is not as important as we thought before C. breakfast is not as important to us as gasoline to a carD. a good breakfast used to be important to us

Thos
38、e who stand still, die. is one of Oliveiras favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. You have to work, w
39、ork, work in order to forget that death is not far away, he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: Its down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others. Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to
40、do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens. Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people o
41、f whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation. Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. The role of t
42、he architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few, said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbla
43、dder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic. Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: I want to be at least 108-years-old. He als
44、o plans to keep performing. Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up? Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a good stage role. Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has
45、described the force that keeps driving her on: Progress is created through imperfection. In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. Shes convinced that humans grow on challenges. With so many brilliant examples given, we can see
46、 clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers. 51. From the first two paragraphs, we can see _. A. being active at 102 is achievable for everybody B. Oliveira owes his long life to his mothers help C. social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior D. being fit in old age is a matter
47、of luck and character52. How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage? A. 4B. 5 C. 6D. 753 By saying Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?” in paragraph 5, Heesters shows us he _. A. wants to sit or lie in comfortB. is waiting for people to pick him up C. is willi
48、ng to work till he diesD. prefers to give performance at home54. In the passage so many examples were given to show _. A. old age is a big problem if you want tosucceed B. old age can not prevent a great person from achieving a lot C. old people should never think of themselves as old D. as a senior
49、 citizen, you have to be open-minded and optimistic55. In the writers opinion, the architect Oscar Niemeyer is not _. A. pessimistic B. intelligent C. positive D. diligent（D）Joe came to New York from the Middle West, dreaming about painting. Delia came to New York from the South, dreaming about musi
50、c. Joe and Delia met in a studio. Before long they were good friends and got married. They had only a small flat to live in, but they were happy. They loved each other, and they were both interested in art. Everything was fine until one day they found they had spent all their money. Delia decided to
51、 give music lessons. One afternoon she said to her husband: “Joe, Ive found a pupil, a generals daughter. She is a sweet girl. Im to give three lessons a week and get $5 a lesson.” But Joe was not glad. “But how about me?” he said.” Do you think Im going to watch you work while I play with my art? N
52、o, I want to earn some money too.” “Joe, , you are silly,” said Delia. “You must keep at your studies. We can live quite happily on $15 a week.” “Well, perhaps I can sell some of my pictures,” said Joe. Every day they parted in the morning and met in the evening. A week passed and Delia brought home
53、 fifteen dollars, but she looked a little tired. “Clementina sometimes gets on my nerves. Im afraid she doesnt practice enough. But the general is the best old man! I wish you could know him, Joe.” And then Joe took eighteen dollars out of his pocket. “Ive sold one of my pictures to a man from Peori
54、a,” he said, “and he has ordered another.” “Im so glad,” said Delia. “Thirty-three dollars! We never had so much to spend before. Well have a good supper tonight.” Next week Joe came home and put another eighteen dollars on the table. In half an hour Delia came, her right hand in a bandage. “Whats t
55、he matter with your hand?” said Joe. Delia laughed and said: “Oh, a funny thing happened! Clemantina gave me a plate of soup and spilled some of it on my hand. She was very sorry for it. And so was the old general. But why are you looking at me like that, Joe?” “What time this afternoon did you burn
56、 your hand, Delia?” “Five oclock, I think. The iron-I mean the soup-was ready about five, Why?” “Delia, come and sit here,” said Joe. He drew her to the couch and sat beside her. “What do you do every day, Delia? Do you really give music lesson? Tell me the truth.” She began to cry. “I couldnt get a
57、ny pupils,” she said, “So I got a place in a laundry ironing shirts. This afternoon a girl accidentally set down an iron on my hand and I got a bad burn. But tell me, Joe, how did you guess that I wasnt giving music lessons?” “Its very simple,” said Joe. “I knew all about your bandages because I had
58、 to send them upstairs to a girl in the laundry who had an accident with a hot iron. You see, I work in the engine-room of the same laundry where you work.” “And your pictures? Did you sell any to that man from Peoria?” “Well, your general with his Clemantina is an invention, and so is my man from P
59、eoria.” And then they both laughed. 56. To support the family, Delia worked as .A. a tutor B. a music teacher C. a laundry assistantD. an artist 57.

Give Yourself a break How to Find YourselfDo you often feel lost？Do you think you are living somebody elses life? If yes, discover ways to find yourself by going through the following article.61 _If you are thinking,
63、 “how to find yourself when you are lost?”, then the first thing to do is to have a rest from everythingwork, personal life and all worldly things. Give time to yourself to think why you seem lost. Is it because of over work? Is it because you are not leading a life that you want to? Or is it becaus
64、e you are not satisfied with the people or things around you? Try to find answers to these questions to determine the cause behind your restlessness.62 _For once, instead of being the way others want you to be, be yourself. Look within and find yourself in you. Think about the things that you would
65、want to do if you didnt have any family obligations or any money issues. Think about the kind of relationship you would want to be in, the place that you would like to stay in, the kind of lifestyle you would like to lead, if you didnt have the society or people around you, judging all the time. If
66、you really want to know how to find inner peace, then think, what you would want others to describe you asan honest person? Or adventurous? Or loving, or realistic? Once you look within, you will know the answer and then try to be exactly that.63 _Thinking deeply about the past, the time or situatio
67、ns when you were the happiest, is another way to find yourself .Think what you were doing or with whom you were, when you were the happiest. This will help you to identify things that you want to do in life that make you happy and also certain people whose company you enjoy.64 _Knowing yourself and
68、determining what you to do with your life will not come to you in a day or two. Discovering oneself is an ongoing process and it can take months or sometimes even years to truly find yourself. So, its important that you maintain a written record of all your feelings and thoughts, which you can go th
69、rough at a later stage. Pour all your emotions and feelings about life in it and who knows may be one day going through it, you will find yourself.65 _Once you have discovered what you want to do with your life, make a move for change and self improvement. Even if it means taking up small things suc
70、h as dancing or painting, go ahead and do it. If you want a career change, plan and take steps so that it can take place smoothly. If you are stuck in a bad relationship and find yourself unable to mend it, break away. At the beginning, you may find yourself slightly unbalanced, but with time everyt
71、hing will be fine.It is very important for you to truly find yourself, before it is too late. If you do not find yourself now, you will spend your life with somebody you do not even know, i.e. yourself.姓名_ 班级_ 考号_ 密 封 线 内 不 许 答 题密 封 线 内 不 许 答 题密 封 线 内 不 许 答 题温州市第六十一中学2014学年第一学期期中考试高三英语答题卷试场号座位号四、改错

They think it is
78、 a waste of time and influences their study. However, physical exercise is a necessary part of school life. It is very unwise for students to do so. We can benefit a lot from physical exercise. Doing sports can help us build up a strong body. It is also a good way for us to reduce pressure and keep a pleasant mood. Besides, when taking exercise, we can communicate with others and improve our social skills.All kinds of ball games are good choices for us. We can manage our time properly and balance work and play. Weekend is also a good time for sports. Do not hesitate to take exercise.
