问题     Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.
    But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.
    For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. "Going without breakfast does not affect performance, " said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, "nor does giving people breakfast improve performance. "
    Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate , and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, "The literature" , says one researcher , Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, " is poor".
What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that______.

选项 A、breakfast does not affect performance
B、Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning
C、not eating breakfast might affect the health of children
D、Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London

答案C

解析 推论题。本题问作者暗示但没有明白说出来的是……。依据文章最后一节第一句:“…and most of the recent work involves children,not adults,….The literature is poor."可以推断:“不吃早饭是否会影响儿童健康目前还没有定论”,也就是说将来的结论可能是“不吃早饭会影响儿童健康”也可能是“不吃早饭不会影响儿童健康”。因此选台湾省吃早饭有可能会影响儿童健康。其它选项在文中均已明确提及:A.早饭不影响人体机能;B.艾瑞斯特博士在一高等学院从事研究工作;D.拜音得教授曾在伦敦教授过大学营养学课程;因此,这些根本是不需推论的。
