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.
( )46. 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 ( )47. Modern grand prix F1 racing first began ____. A. in France B. in Britain C. in 1895 D. in 1901 ( )48. Today F1 race is held ____. A. at different tracks all the year round B. every month all over the world C. from March to October every year D. in France and Britain every year ( )49. When the driver makes stops in a race, a team of people will ____. A. help him make the stops short B. lift the car up and change the tyres C. put petrol in the car and clean the car D. clean the driver’s helmet ( )50. In the world of car racing, the race has to be timed to ____. A. second B. 10. 81 second

C. 1/100th of a second D. 1/1000th of a second
第二节 阅读理解（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分）
阅读下面短文，把A-D四个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整、正确，然后完成第55小题。
Do you ever feel like you are just running from one activity to another? In school, do you rush from one subject to another?
When things happen so fast, it is easy to get lost of what you are doing or learning. 51 Self reflection means slowing down and calming (使平静) yourself, including calming your mind. By being calm and going slowly, you give your brain a chance to think about what it has already received. Some people prefer to do these self reflections only in their mind. Others keep a diary or written notes. 52 . School textbooks are divided into units of study. 53 Look for time when you complete a unit of study in the subjects you are learning, such as math, science and art. Sometimes you know the unit is over because there is some kind of test. Use these natural breaks to stop and do self reflection.
Find a quiet place. You can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something early and the other students are still working. If you are going to take notes, take out paper or your reflection diary. Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some connections.
Next, think about things that you are not sure of. Maybe you learned a new way to work out a math problem, but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.
54 If you have never taken the time to do self reflection, try it now.
A. This makes it easier for someone to begin self reflection. B. It is important to stop yourself every now and then to think about what you’ve been doing or learning. C. Self reflection is important for a successful student. D. Either method works, depending on your own personal learning. ( )55. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Self Reflection in Mind or Taking Notes? B. Self Reflection Makes You A Better Learner. C. Why Not Try These Step of Self Reflection? D. Find A Good Time and Place for Self Reflection.
