Question

I know what you’re thinking: pizza？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 (不吃早饭), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saying” calories ，still others just don’t like breakfast food .  

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.  

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.

【解析】

试题分析：当今社会由于众多原因，人们忽略了吃早餐，有的是因为没有时间，有的是以为不吃早餐可以减肥，有的还是因为没有吃早饭的习惯。但是，不吃早餐真的好么？这篇文章告诉你吃早饭的重要性以及如何合理的吃早餐。

1.1】A 推理判断题。根据语法结构，可以看出此处是名词，根据下文的I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night.意识是“我余下一些leftovers，而不是当天晚上吃完”。可以推断出该词是剩饭剩菜的意思。故选择A项（饭后剩下的食物）。B:未完成的事情 C:由蔬菜做成的饭 D:表面是水果的披萨

2.2】B 推理判断题。根据原文But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight .（但是，底线是吃早饭时非常重要的事情，尤其是当你想减肥的时候）而上文则是讨论人们不吃早饭的各种原因，笔者这里话锋一转说出中心。故选择B。

3.3】A主旨大意题。 一个段落的中心句往往是在开头或者结尾。而本文中心句恰恰是在开头：So eat something in the morning, anything.（无论怎样，早上应该吃点饭）故选择A选项。

4.4】B 主旨大意题。根据原文的Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories（早餐我从来都是要吃的，同时还有吃早餐可以帮助成功减肥的例子）所以，本文首先是讨论吃早餐的重要性同时打消那些认为吃早餐不利于减肥的谬论。
