Cars, buses, planes and many trains and ships also need oil. Even our bicycles need oil. Indeed the whole world would stop if there was no oil. Today there is a growing need for oil in the world. So people are looking for it everywhere. They look for oil in deserts, in the mountains and under the sea. Quite often they find nothing, but the search for oil always goes on. What are the largest oil producers in the world? The U.S, the U.S.S.R., and countries of the Middle East. But China is catching up fast. Before liberation we used to buy nearly all our oil from the U.S. Many foreign people say China was “oil-poor”. But since liberation oil has been found in many parts of the country. Today everyone agrees that China is rich in oil. Our oil will not only meet the great need in our country, but also be sold to other countries.( )37.

People with type O blood had the lowest incidence(几率) of heart illness, and compared with them, those with type AB blood were 23% more likely, and people with A were 5% more likely.“While people cannot change their blood type, our findings may help doctors better understand who is at risk for developing heart illness,” said study author Dr. Lu Qi, assistant professor of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.The scientists considered two Harvard studies, one that tracked 62,000 women over 26 years, and one that tracked 27,400 men over 24 years. In all, more than 2,500 people were found with heart illness.However, further research is needed. In order to reduce (减少) heart disease risk, people should exercise, eat right and keep their weight.In the United States, 45% of people have type O blood, making it the most common blood type. Only 4% of the U.S. population has type AB blood, while about 40% has type A and about 11% has type B.( ) 42. Scientists from_______ found that blood type may influence heart illness.A. CanadaB.

In America people who have type B blood are_______.A. more than people who have type O blood.B. as many as people who have type A bloodC. fewer than people who have type AB bloodD. only a small part of the U.S. populationCMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal（信号）. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize（强调）the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.( )47. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to__________.A．develop closer relations B．share the same cultureC．get to know each other D．keep each other company ( )48. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that__________.A．the English prefer to make long speechesB．too many words are of no useC．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD．even talk and silence can be culturally different( )49. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A．By sharing different ways of life. B. By accepting different habits.C．By recognizing different values. D. By speaking each other' s languages. ( )50. What would be the best title for the text?A．Multicultural Environment. B. Cross-Cultural Differences.C．How to Understand Each Other. D.How to Build Up a Relationship. ( )51. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. I talked too much in the speech, which surprised the audience.B. Within Northern Europe, there are no such things as cultural differences.C. There is no way to overcome cultural differences.D. Different cultures have difference in relationship building.DSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the r ight family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to fe el like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee(保证) you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.52.

What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. Successful people like to show their great skills.B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.56. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.IV. 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或者用括号中词语的正确形式填空。
