chicken stock , broccoli（硬花甘藍(lán)）, potato, cauliflower（菜花）and carrots.They were mixed together to create four different textures and thickness from separate stock and vegetables through to pureed soup.Scientists thought that thick soups with chunks of vegetables which required chewing might be more filling, but to their surprise they found all forms had the same effect.The findings were presented to the Experimental Biology conference in Washington, DC, and the research was part-funded by the National Institutes of Health.56Whats the reason that adding low-calorie vegetable soup to the start of a meal can actually help to lose weight?Ayou can take in large quantities of vegetables.Byou can absorb high calories from the soup.Cyou can take in low calories from the soup.Dyou can feel full soon after having the soup.57Which of the following can not be in the low-calorie soup?Achicken stockBcauliflowerCcreamDcarrots.58Whats the general idea of the seventh paragraph?AWhat is contained in the soupBHow the soup is madeCWhom the soup is suitable toDwhere the soup is stored.59What is the best title of this passage?AVegetable Soup Helps to Lose WeightBA Scientific Research is Carrying out.CA Research did at Pennsylvania State UniversityDFindings were carried out to the Experimental Biology.60The underlined word “favour” is the same in meaning with _.AhateBenjoyCpreferDdrink.BNine out of 10 New Zealanders rate their quality of life as good or better, according to a new survey published on MondayResearchers for the third national Quality of Life survey spoke to 500 people in each of the 12 main centers and 2,000 people in the rest of the countryIn the cities, 87 percent of residents said their overall health was good or better and 86 percent of people said they had enough money to cover living costsNine out of 10 people said they felt safe in their homes, but people were concerned about vandalism（惡意破壞）, car theft and dangerous driving Only 11 percent of people nationwide said they felt safe in their city center at night for reasons including the perception of dangerous people in the area, media coverage of crime and alcohol and drug problems in the central cityPeople in Wellington and the North Shore felt safest, while Christchurch had the highest number of people who felt unsafeWellingtonians were the most proud of their city, 82 percent, while the least proud were people in Manuka, 43 percent, and Auckland, 51 percentWellingtonians thought they had the best quality of life at 94.9 percent, followed by Dunedin at 94.2 percent and Christchurch at 93.1 percentThe survey found 59 percent of people in the cities felt people from different cultures made their city a better place to liveThe 12 participating councils were North Shore, Waitakere, Auckland, Manukau, Rodney, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Porirua, Hutt Christchurch and DunedinThe survey was funded by the councils and the Ministry of Social Development.61What is the best title of the passage?AResearch shows New Zealanders are happier than Americans.BThe third national Quality of Life survey shows its research.CNew Zealanders have good quality of life in the world.DA new survey was published on Monday.62Which if the following city is thought to be the least safe?AWellingtonBthe North ShoreCDunedinDChristchurch.63The underlined word “coverage” in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to _.AreportBprotectionCshelterDconsistence64How is the passage organized?Awith exampleBwith figuresCwith factsDwith ideas.65Which of the following would be NOT true according to the passage?ANew Zealanders are satisfied with their life.BThe survey was supported by the councils in money.CLess than half of the people lie their good life in different cultures.DThe Wellingtonians were the most proud of their city.CPeople are more likely to wash their hands properly after using the toilet if they are shamed into it or think they are being watched, scientists said on Thursday.Hand-washing is the cheapest way of controlling disease but less than one third of men and two thirds of women wash their hands with soap after going to the toilet, a British study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine showed.But when prompted by an electronic message flashing up on a board asking: Is the person next to you washing with soap?, around 12 percent more men and 11 percent more women used soap.Health authorities around the world are stepping up efforts to persuade people to be more hygienic and wash their hands properly to help slow the spread of H1N1 swine flu, which was declared a pandemic（大流行?。?by the World Health Organization in June.Hand-washing with soap has been ranked the most effective way for the worldwide control of disease, the studys authors wrote.It could save more than a million lives a year from diarrhoeal diseases, and prevent respiratory（呼吸） infections - the biggest causes of child mortality（死亡） in developing countries.In developed nations, hand-washing can help prevent the spread of viral infections like flu and sickness and diarrhea bugs like norovirus and rotavirus, as well as hospital-acquired infections like MRSA and C-difficile, the authors said.The researchers studied the behavior of a quarter of a million people using toilets at motorway service stations in Britain over 32 daysUse of soap was monitored by sensors.The study, published in the American Journal of Public Health to mark Global Hand-washing Day, showed that with no reminders, 32 percent of men and 64 percent of women used soap.66In which of the following situation can people wash their hands properly?AAfter they going to toiletBwhen they think they are being watched.CWhen they think their hands are dirty.DWhen they find soap nearby.67Which of the following is the main advantage of hand-washing?Apeople can always get their hands cleanBPeople can save a lot of time and waterCIt is the cheapest way of controlling disease.DIt wastes no any time and energy.68What is the biggest cause of child death in developing countries?Arespiratory infectionsBdiarrhoeal diseasesCH1N1 swine fluDhospital-acquired infections.69Which of the following is true according to the seventh paragraph?AHand-washing is popular in the developed countries.BThey authorities persuaded the people to wash their hands daily.CMore and more people know to wash their hands properly.DThe spread of viral infections is a serious problem.70We can conclude from the passage that _.AMost people wash their hands after going to toilet.BMany people can not wash their hands properly.CFew people know Global Hand-washing Day.DH1N1 swine flu was declared a pandemic.DOne of the strongest arguments for the raising of the school leaving age（ROSLA）has been that it will bring us some way nearer to“equality of opportunity”.Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever childrenIt would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is obviously so completeIt is obvious, for instance, that many children from less wealthy homes reach university or do well in other ways. Unfortunately we now have plenty of proofs that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they couldFor instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence（智力）of all male 18 to 20 year olds Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left school at 15.It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939One study of 5,000 children from birth to 21 years old shows that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years oldMoreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.It is clear from this and many other proofs that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizesmoney, social respectability, and interesting jobswhich higher education givesIt is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social backgroundTheir parents often need the extra money another money-earner would bring in; they dont value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappyIt is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “its up to you”.71It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children .Aa more enjoyable time at schoolBthe same chances in societyCthe right to a better schoolDhigher scores in intelligence tests72People would like to think that .Aequal numbers of poor and wealthy children reach universityBthose with the least money get the best educationCintelligent children are always selected by the systemDonly really
