C.cream.D.carrots.58.What’s the general idea of the seventh paragraph?A.What is contained in the soup.B.How the soup is made.C.Whom the soup is suitable to.D.where the soup is stored.59.What is the bes t title of this passage?A.Vegetable Soup Helps to Lose Weight.B.A Scientific Research is Carrying out.C.A Research did at Pennsylvania State UniversityD.Findings were carried out to the Experimental Biology.60.T he underlined word ―favour‖ is the same in meaning with ______.A.hate.B.enjoy.C.prefer.D.drink.BNine out of 10 New Zealanders rate their quality of life as good or better, according to a new survey published on Monday.Researchers for the third national Quality of Life survey spoke to 500 people in each of the 12main centers and 2,000 people in the rest of the country.In the cities, 87 percent of reside nts said their overall health was good or better and 86 percent of people said they had enough money to cover living costs.Nine out of 10 people said they felt safe in their homes, but people were concerned about vandalism(恶意破坏), 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 city.People in Wellington and the North Sho re felt safest, while Christchurch had the highest number of people who felt unsafe.Wellingtonians were the most proud of their city, 82 percent, while the least proud were people in Manuka, 43 percent, and Auckland, 51 percent.Wellingtonians thought they had the best quality of life at 94.9 percent, followed by Dunedin at 94.2 percent and Christchurch at 93.1 percent.The survey found 59 percent of people in the cities felt people from different cultures made their city a better place to live.The 12 participating councils were North Shore, Waitakere, Auckland, Manukau, Rodney, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Porirua, Hutt Christchurch and Dunedin.The survey was funded by the councils and the Ministry of Social Development.61.What is the best title of the passage?A.Research shows New Zealanders are happier than Americans.B.The third national Quality of Life survey shows its research.C.New Zealanders have good quality of life in the world.D.A new survey was published on Monday.62.Which if the following city is thought to be the least safe?A.Wellington.B.the North Shore.C.Dunedin.D.Christchurch.63.The underlined word ―coverage‖ in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A.report.B.protection.C.shelter.D.consistence.64.How is the passage organized?A.with example.B.with figures.

they don’t value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy.It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, ―it’s up to you‖.71.It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children .A.a more enjoyable time at school B.the same chances in societyC.the right to a better school D.higher scores in intelligence tests72.People would like to think that .A.equal numbers of poor and wealthy children reach universityB.those with the least money get the best educationC.intelligent children are always selected by the systemD.only really clever children do well73.Working class children are thought to be at a disadvantage because .A.many of the clever ones leave school earlyB.fewer go to university than ever beforeC.more than half leave school when they are 16D.fewer boys than girls stay at school after 1674.Many children leave school early because .A.their social background makes them unhappyB.they have to give something to their family’s incomeC.their school is a dull and unhappy placeD.their parents don’t allow them to make th eir own decisions75.This article shows that equal opportunity in education .A.is a thing of the pastB.has not yet been achievedC.is there for those who deserve(值得拥有)itD.has greatly improved our society五、请根据首字母或汉语意思,用单词的适当形式完成下列句子。
