Researchers in Britain are driving the environmental movement to a new level. A team from the University of Warwick has built what it calls the worlds first completely environmentally friendly Formula Three racing car.

The car is made mainly of renewable materials,like plants and vegetables. The structure around the car is made from natural plant fibers and potatoes. The steering wheel (方向盤) is made from root vegetables like carrots. The engine uses bio-fuel made from vegetable oil and waste chocolate.

The new racing car is extremely fast. The car has a top speed of two hundred and fifteen kilometres an hour. And it can go from zero to ninety-five kilometres an hour in just two and a half seconds. The racing car meets all of the Formula Three racing requirements except for its biodiesel(生物柴油) engine.

Automobile racing is one of the most widely watched sports in the world. But it is also considered one of the least friendly sports to the environment. Racing cars burn a lot of fuel,and create a lot of air pollution. In recent years,the racing industry has taken steps to protect the environment. More racing companies are now producing cars that use less energy. These cars produce less pollution than cars that depend on traditional fuel,like gasoline.

Last month,the new racing car was set to run in its first competitive race at the Formula Three Championship Final at Brands Hatch. It would have been the first biodiesel-powered car to race at Formula Three. Current Formula Three rules let only gasoline-powered car to compete. Officials needed permission from all of the Formula Three racers for the biodiesel-powered car to compete. They were unable to contact one of the drivers,so the new racing car didn't appear in the event. In test runs,the new racing car was the fifth fastest among the Formula Three race cars. Supporters are hoping to have the fuel problem solved in time to compete in the next season.

第二節(jié)閱讀表達(dá)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)

[1] Mums and dads care for their kids from the minute they were born. It's a parent's job to love and guide kids,and most parents will do this as long as they live,even when the “kids” have grown up and have children of their own. That means you have many years ahead to share with your mum and dad.

[2] But how will you get along with your parents? Here are some ways you can stay close,get along,and build a strong relationship with them.

[3] Spend time together. It might be easy to be physically in the same place with your mum or dad. But how much time do you spend just enjoying each other's company (陪伴) ?

Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV,maybe ask your mum and dad to play with you. Go outside together,try a board game,or read a book out aloud. If your parents are divorced,make the most of the time you spend together. In between,talk on the phone and e-mail each other to stay in touch.

[4] Many kids say they’d like their parents to help them when they’re upset. But your mum or dad might not know that you’re having a problem. Tell your parents if you’re sad or struggling with something. If you don't usually do this,it can feel funny at first. Try it and you’ll be glad you did.

[5] Be kind. Little things might mean a lot to your mum or dad. You can brighten a parent's day with a hug,a card,or a joke. It's also lovely when a kid offers to help fold the laundry (洗好的衣物) or clean up his or her room without being asked. And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters,your parents might be also excited.

52. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with a proper sentence. (No more than 8 words)
