c) a和an在句中分别弱读作[E]和[En]。
2)定冠词the

Is Breakfast Really the Most Important Meal of the Day?
A) Along with old classics like "carrots give you night vision" and "Santa doesn"t bring toys to misbehaving children", one of the most well-worn phrases of tired parents everywhere is that breakfast is the most important meal of the Many of us grow up believing that skipping breakfast is a serious mistake, even if only two thirds of adults in the UK eat breakfast regularly, according to the British Dietetic Association, and around three-quarters of
B) "The body uses a lot of energy stores for growth and repair through the night," explains diet specialist Sarah "Eating a balanced breakfast helps to up our energy, as well as make up for protein and calcium used throughout the " But there"s widespread disagreement over whether breakfast should keep its top spot in the hierarchy (等级) of There have been concerns around the sugar content of cereal and the food industry"s involvement in pro-breakfast research -- and even one claim from an academic that breakfast is "dangerous".
C) What"s the reality? Is breakfast a necessary start to the day or a marketing tactic by cereal companies? The most researched aspect of breakfast(and breakfast-skipping) has been its links to Scientists have different theories as to why there"s a relationship between the In one US study that analysed the health data of 50,000 people over seven years, researchers found that those who made breakfast the largest meal of the day were more likely to have a lower body mass index (BMI) than those who ate a large lunch or The researchers argued that breakfast helps reduce daily calorie intake and improve the quality of our diet -- since breakfast foods are often higher in fibre and
D) But as with any study of this kind, it was unclear if that was the cause -- or if breakfast-skippers were just more likely to be overweight to begin To find out, researchers designed a study in which 52 obese women took part in a 12-week weight loss All had the same number of calories over the day, but half had breakfast, while the other half did What they found was that it wasn"t breakfast itself that caused the participants to lose weight: it was changing their normal
E) If breakfast alone isn"t a guarantee of weight loss, why is there a link between obesity and breakfast-skipping? Alexandra Johnstone, professor of appetite research at the University of Aberdeen, argues that it may simply be because breakfast-skippers have been found to be less knowledgeable about nutrition and "There are a lot of studies on the relationship between breakfast eating and possible health outcomes, but this may be because those who eat breakfast choose to habitually have health-enhancing behaviours such as regular exercise and not smoking," she
F) A 20XX review of 10 studies looking into the relationship between breakfast and weight management concluded there is "limited evidence" supporting or refuting (反驳) the argument that breakfast influences weight or food intake, and more evidence is required before breakfast recommendations can be used to help prevent
G) Researches from the University of Surrey and University of Aberdeen are halfway through research looking into the mechanisms behind how the time we eat influences body Early findings suggest that a bigger breakfast is beneficial to weight Breakfast has been found to affect more than just Skipping breakfast has been associated with a 27% increased risk of heart disease, a 21% higher risk of type 2 diabetes in men, and a 20% higher risk of type 2 diabetes in One reason may be breakfast"s nutritional value -- partly because cereal is fortified (增加营养价值) with In one study on the breakfast habits of 1,600 young people in the UK, researchers found that the fibre and micronutrient intake was better in those who had breakfast There have been similar findings in Australia, Brazil, Canada and the
H) Breakfast is also associated with improved brain function, including concentration and language A review of 54 studies found that eating breakfast can improve memory, though the effects on other brain functions were However, one of the review"s researchers, Mary Beth Spitznagel, says there is "reasonable" evidence breakfast does improve concentration -- there just needs to be more "Looking at studies that tested concentration, the number of studies showing a benefit was exactly the same as the number that found no benefit," she "And no studies found that eating breakfast was bad for "
I) What"s most important, some argue, is what we eat for High-protein breakfasts have been found particularly effective in reducing the longing for food and consumption later in the day, according to research by the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research While cereal remains a firm favourite among breakfast consumers in the UK and US, a recent investigation into the sugar content of "adult" breakfast cereals found that some cereals contain more than three-quarters of the recommended daily amount of free sugars in each portion, and sugar was the second or third highest ingredient in
J) But some research suggests if we"re going to eat sugary foods, it"s best to do it One study recruited 200 obese adults to take part in a 16-week-long diet, where half added dessert to their breakfast, and half didn" Those who added dessert lost an average of 40 pounds more -- however, the study was unable to show the long-term A review of 54 studies found that there is no consensus yet on what type of breakfast is healthier, and concluded that the type of breakfast doesn"t matter as much as simply eating
K) While there"s no conclusive evidence on exactly what we should be eating and when, the consensus is that we should listen to our own bodies and eat when we"re "Breakfast is most important for people who are hungry when they wake up," Johnstone "Each body starts the day differently -- and those individual differences need to be researched more closely," Spitznagel "A balanced breakfast is really helpful, but getting regular meals throughout the day is more important to leave blood sugar stable through the day, which helps control weight and hunger levels," says "Breakfast isn"t the only meal we should be getting "
According to one professor, obesity is related to a lack of basic awareness of nutrition and
Some scientists claim that people should consume the right kind of food at
Opinions differ as to whether breakfast is the most important meal of the
It has been found that not cating breakfast is related to the incidence of certain diseases in some
Researchers found it was a change in eating habits rather than breakfast itself that induced weight
To keep oneself healthy, eating breakfast is more important than choosing what to
It is widely considered wrong not to eat
More research is needed to prove that breakfast is related to weight loss or food
Pecople who prioritise breakfasts tend to have lower calorie but higher nutritional
Many studies reveal that eating breakfast helps people memorise and

It is true that textbook publishers have recently reported losses, largely due to students renting or buying used print But this can be chalked up to the excessively high cost of their books -- which has increased over 1,000 percent since A restructuring of the textbook industry may well be in But this does not mean the end of the textbook
While they may not be as dynamic as an iPad, textbooks are not passive or For example, over the centuries, they have simulated (模拟) dialogues in a number of From 1800 to the present day, textbooks have done this by posing questions for students to answer inductively (归纳性地).

Passage Two
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following
When we think of animals and plants, we have a pretty good way of dividing them into two distinct groups: one converts sunlight into energy and the other has to eat food to make its Well, those dividing lines come crashing down with the discovery of a sea slug (海蛞蝓) that"s truly half animal and half It"s pretty incredible how it has managed to hijack the genes of the algae (藻类) on which it
The slugs can manufacture chlorophyll, the green pigment (色素) in plants that captures energy from sunlight, and hold these genes within their The term kleptoplasty is used to describe the practice of using hijacked genes to create nutrients from And so far, this green sea slug is the only known animal that can be truly considered solar-powered, although some animals do exhibit some plant-like Many scientists have studied the green sea slugs to confirm that they are actually able to create energy from
In fact, the slugs use the genetic material so well that they pass it on to their future Their babies retain the ability to produce their own chlorophyll, though they can"t generate energy from sunlight until they"ve eaten enough algae to steal the necessary genes, which they can"t yet produce on their
"There"s no way on earth that genes from an alga should work inside an animal cell," says Sidney Pierce from the University of South "And yet here, they They allow the animal to rely on sunshine for its So if something happens to their food source, they have a way of not starving to death until they find more algae to "

E) These maker spaces are often outside of classrooms, and are serving an important educational The Maker Movement is rediscovering learning by doing, which is Dewey"s phrase from 100 years We are rediscovering Dewey and Montessori and a lot of the practices that they pioneered that have been forgotten or at least put A maker space is a place which can be in a school, but it doesn"t look like a It can be in a It can be out in the It has tools and It"s a place where you get to make things based on your interest and on what you, re learning to
F) Ideas about learning by doing have struggled to become mainstream educationally, despite being old concepts from Dewey and Montessori, Plato and Aristotle, and in the American context, Ralph Emerson, on the value of experience and It"s not necessarily an efficient way to We learn, in a sense, by trial and Learning from experience is something that takes time and It"s very If your goal is to have standardized approaches to learning, where everybody learns the same thing at the same time in the same way, then learning by doing doesn"t really fit that mold It"s not the world of It"s not the world of
G) Learning by doing may not be efficient, but it is Project-based learning has grown in popularity with teachers and However, project-based learning is not Although there is a connection, there is also a The difference lies in whether the project is in a sense defined and developed by the student or whether it"s assigned by a We"ll all get the kids to build a small We are all going to learn about X, Y, and That tends to be one form of project- based
H) I really believe the core idea of making is to have an idea within your head—or you just borrow it from someone—and begin to develop it, repeat it and improve Then, realize that idea That thing that you make is valuable to you and you can share it with I"m interested in how these things are expressions of that person, their ideas, and their interactions with the
I) In some ways, a lot of forms of making in school trivialize (使变得无足轻重) The thing that you make has no value to Once you are done demonstrating whatever concept was in the; textbook, you throw away the pipe cleaners, the straws, the cardboard
J) Making should be student-directed and student-led, otherwise it"s It doesn"t have the motivation of the I"m not saying that students should not learn concepts or not learn They But to really harness their motivation is to build upon their It"s to let them be in control and to drive the
K) Teachers should aim to build a supportive, creative environment for students to do this A very social environment, where they are learning from each When they have a problem, it isn"t the teacher necessarily coming in to solve They are responsible for working through that It might be they have to talk to other students in the class to help get an
L) The teacher"s role is more of a coach or Sometimes, to people, it sounds like this is a diminished role for I think it"s a heightened You"re creating this environment, like a maker You have 20 kids doing different You are watching them and really it"s the human behaviors you"re looking Are they engaged? Are they developing and repeating their project? Are they stumbling (受挫)? Do they need something that they don"t have? Can you help them be aware of where they are?
M) My belief is that the goal of making is not to get every kid to be hands-on, but it enables us to be good It"s not the knowledge that is valuable; it"s the practice of learning new things and understanding how things These are processes that you are developing so that you are able, over time, to tackle more interesting problems, more challenging problems-problems that require many people instead of one person, and many skills instead of
N) If teachers keep it form-free and student-led, it can still be tied to a curriculum and an educational I think a maker space is more like a library in that there are multiple subjects and multiple things that you can What seems to be missing in school is how these subjects integrate, how they fit t together in any meaningful Rather than saying, "This is science, over here is history," I see schools taking this idea of projects and looking at: How do they support children in higher level learning?
O) I feel like this is a shift away from a subject matter-based curriculum to a more experiential curriculum or It"s still in its early stages, but I think it"s shifting around not what kids learn but how they

New Jersey School District Eases Pressure on Students—Baring an Ethnic Divide
A) This fall, David Aderhold, the chief of a high-achieving school district near Princeton, New Jersey, sent parents an alarming 16-page The school district, he said, was facing a Its students were overburdened and stressed out, having to cope with too much work and too many In the previous school year, 120 middle and high school students were recommended for mental health assessments and 40 were And on a survey administered by the district, students wrote things like, "I hate going to school," and "Coming out of 12 years in this district, I have learned one thing: that a grade, a percentage or even a point is to be valued over anything "
B) With his letter, Aderhold inserted West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District into a national discussion about the intense focus on achievement at elite schools, and whether it has gone too At follow-up meetings, he urged parents to join him in advocating a "whole child" approach to schooling that respects "social-emotional development" and "deep and meaningful learning" over academics The alternative, he suggested, was to face the prospect of becoming another Palo Alto, California, where outsize stress on teenage students is believed to have contributed to a number of suicides in the last six
C) But instead of bringing families together, Aderhold"s letter revealed a divide in the district, which has 9,700 students, and one that broke down roughly along racial On one side are white parents like Catherine Foley, a former president of the Parent-Teacher-Student Association at her daughter"s middle school, who has come to see the district"s increasingly pressured atmosphere as opposed to "My son was in fourth grade and told me, "I"m not going to amount to anything because I have nothing to put on my resume,"" she On the other side are parents like Mike Jia, one of the thousands of Asian-American professionals who have moved to the district in the past decade, who said Aderhold"s reforms would amount to a "dumbing down" of his children"s "What is happening here reflects a national anti-intellectual trend that will not prepare our children for the future," Jia
D) About 10 minutes from Princeton and an hour and a half from New York City, West Windsor and Plainsboro have become popular bedroom communities for technology entrepreneurs, researchers and engineers, drawn in large part by the public From the last three graduating classes, 16 seniors were admitted to It produces Science Olympiad winners, classically trained musicians and students with perfect SAT
E) The district has become increasingly popular with immigrant families from China, India and This year, 65 percent of its students are Asian-American, compared with 44 percent in Many of them are the first in their families born in the United They have had a growing influence on the Asian-American parents are enthusiastic supporters of the competitive instrumental music They have been huge supporters of the district"s advanced mathematics program, which once began in the fourth grade but will now start in the The change to the program, in which 90 percent of the participating students are Asian-American, is one of Aderhold"s
F) Asian-American students have been eager participants in a state program that permits them to take summer classes off campus for high school credit, allowing them to maximize the number of honors and Advanced Placement classes they can take, another practice that Aderhold is limiting this school With many Asian-American children attending supplementary instructional programs, there is a perception among some white families that the elementary school curriculum is being sped up to accommodate
G) Both Asian-American and white families say the tension between the two groups has grown steadily over the past few years, as the number of Asian families has But the division has become more obvious in recent months as Aderhold has made changes, including no-homework nights, an end to high school midterms and finals, and an initiative that made it easier to participate in the music
H) Jennifer Lee, professor of sociology at the University of California, Irvine, and an author of the Asian American Achievement Paradox, says misunderstanding between first-generation Asian-American parents and those who have been in this country longer are What white middle-class parents do not always understand, she said, is how much pressure recent immigrants feel to boost their children into the middle "They don"t have the same chances to get their children internships (实习职位) or jobs at law firms," Lee "So what they believe is that their children must excel and beat their white peers in academic settings so they have the same chances to excel "
I) The issue of the stresses felt by students in elite school districts has gained attention in recent years as schools in places like Newton, Massachusetts, and Palo Alto have reported a number of West Windsor-Plainsboro has not had a teenage suicide in recent years, but Aderhold, who has worked in the district for seven years and been chief for the last three years, said he had seen troubling In a recent art assignments, a middle school student depicted (描绘) an overburdened child who was being scolded for earning an A, rather than an A+ , on a math In the image, the mother scolds the student with the words, "Shame on you!" Further, he said, the New Jersey Education Department has flagged at least two pieces of writing on state English language assessments in which students expressed suicidal
J) The survey commissioned by the district found that 68 percent of high school honor and Advanced Placement students reported feeling stressed about school "always or most of the " "We need to bring back some balance," Aderhold "You don"t want to wait until it"s too late to do "
K) Not all public opinion has fallen along racial Karen Sue, the Chinese-American mother of a fifth-grader and an eighth-grader, believes the competition within the district has gotten out of Sue, who was born in the United States to immigrant parents, wants her peers to dial it "It"s become an arms race, an educational arms race," she "We all want our kids to achieve and be The question is, at what cost?"
Aderhold is limiting the extra classes that students are allowed to take off
White and Asian-American parents responded differently to Aderhold"s
Suicidal thoughts have appeared in some students"
Aderhold"s reform of the advanced mathematics program will affect Asian-American students
Aderhold appealed for parents" support in promoting an all-round development of children, instead of focusing only on their academic
One Chinese-American parent thinks the competition in the district has gone too
Immigrant parents believe that academic excellence will allow their children equal chances to succeed in the
Many businessmen and professionals have moved to West Windsor and Plainsboro because of the public schools
A number of students in Aderhold"s school district were found to have stress-induced mental health
The tension between Asian-American and white families has increased in recent
