Dear Sir,
I am writing to you about my stay at your hotel. My wife and I arrived on
Saturday, May 15th and stayed for a week. Though we were treated well and found the
service excellent, we think there are one or two things we should bring your attention.
1. We hoped for a nice holiday from our busy work lives, and your ad said
“comfortable and quiet”. We want to have a chance to enjoy ourselves. However, we
were always waken up by the noise every morning. Is it really necessary for the
workers to start their repair work so early?
2. We hoped to swim in your “wonderful pool”. To our disappointment(失望),
we found that it was closed for the whole time of our stay.
I hope you do not mind my writing to you about these things, but I would be
happy if you could give me some explanation(说明). As I said at the start, it is a pity,
and your service is so good in other places.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely
Tom Green

Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn’t have
modern machines. Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is
pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and
pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry
more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It’s bad to all living
things in the world.
Polluted air from cars, planes and factories is so thick that it is like a quilt(被子)
over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog(烟雾). Many countries are making rules
to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away. And
they mustn’t blow dirty smoke into the air. We need to do many other things. We can
put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the ground. We can go to work by
bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be
less pollution.
Rules are not enough, every person must help to fight pollution.

Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of
traveling is by plane. With a modern airliner(客机), you can travel
in one day to places which needed a month or more to get to hundreds
of years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but you can see the
places you are traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable (令人愉快的).
Some people prefer to travel by sea. You can visit many other countries or different parts of your country. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to
spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop if there is something interesting, for example, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. That’s why traveling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or a plane when they travel on business.

A. by train B. by sea C. by plane D. by car
52. If we travel by car, we can ________.

F1 is a very fast car race. It is one of the most popular sports in the world. The drivers go at over 300 kilometers an hour every race. But F1 cars didn’t always go so fast.
In 1895, the first F1 race began in France. During that race, it took the drivers 48 hours to finish 580 kilometers. In 1901, the best drivers had an average(平均) speed of 100 kilometers an hour. Modern grand prix(奖品) F1 racing began in 1950 in Britain. “Grand prix” is French. It means “large prize”. Today, 12 teams and 24 drivers race to get points. There are races at different tracks(路线) all over the world from March to October every year. There are also F2 and F3 racing. But the cars are slower and less high-tech.
During a F1 race, drivers have to make several stops to change tyres(轮胎) and put more petrol in their cars. A team of people do these tasks together to make the stops short. Some people lift the car up, others change the tyres. While this person works on the tyres, another person puts petrol in the car and a different person cleans the driver’s helmet. One more person talks to the driver about how to win. It’s amazing that all those people finish it in just a few seconds!
During 100-meter races, people count the players’ speed by 1/100th(0. 01) of a second, for example 10.81 seconds. In the world of car racing, however, the race has to be timed to 1/1000th (0. 001) of a second. That is 50 times faster than the time for a blink(眨眼).
F1 cars look very colorful. First, cars of different teams have different colors. Then there are a lot of advertisements on the cars.
56. The drivers in F1 races can reach the speed of ________ an hour.
A. 100 kilometers B. over 300 kilometers
C. 580 kilometers
D. 1000 kilometers
