高考真题周周练（17）阅读理解a you may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. you do not need to be strong. but you need to be quick. and you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind. first, you must ask yourself, “where is the wind coming from? is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” you must think about this all the time on the boat. the wind direction tells you what to do with the sail. lets start with the wind blowing from behind. this means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. it should be at a 90 angle (角度) to the boat. then it will catch the wind best. if the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. in this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. it should be at a 45angle to the boat. it needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldnt flap (摆动). it shouldnt look like a flag on a flagpole. if it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down. sailing into the wind is not possible. if you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. you may want to go in that direction. it is possible, but you cant go in a straight line. you must go first in one direction and then in another. this is called tacking. when you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.21. what should you consider first while sailing? a. sailors strength. b. wave levels.c. wind directions. d. size of sails.22. what does the word “it” underlined in paragraph 4 refer to? a. the boat. b. the wind. c. the sail. d. the angle.23. what do you have to do when sailing against the wind? a. move in a straight line. b. allow the sail to flap. c. lower the sail. d. tack the boat.24. where can you probably find the text?a. in a popular magazine. b. in a tourist guidebook. c. in physics textbook. d. in an official report.b facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. for example, in american culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. yet it also has other uses. a womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. a smile may show love or politeness. it can also hide true feelings. it often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. for example, many people in russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. yet many americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). some russians believe that americans smile in the wrong places; some americans believe that russians dont smile enough. in southeast asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile. our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. the fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. for example, in public and in formal situations many japanese do not show their emotions as freely as americans do. when with friends, japanese and americans seem to show their emotions similarly. it is difficult to generalize about americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the united states. people from certain cultural backgrounds in the united states seem to be more facially expressive than others. the key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. if we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.25. what does the smile usually mean in the u.s.? a. love. b. politeness. c. joy. d. thankfulness.26. the author mentions the smile of the vietnamese to prove that a smile can _. a. show friendliness to strangers b. be used to hide true feelings c. be used in the wrong places d. show personal habits27. what should we do before attempting to “read” people? a. learn about their relations with others. b. understand their cultural backgrounds. c. find out about their past experience. d. figure out what they will do next.28. what would be the best title for the text? a. cultural differences b. smiles and relationships c. facial expressiveness d. habits and emotions完形填空 “my names jim shelley and im an addict (有瘾的人) .” with these words i began to 41 the problem, the problem of my telephone addiction. i used to call people 42 , from the moment i woke up to the time i went to sleep. i 43 to be phoned, i wanted to phone. just one more call. it started socially a few calls each day. it seemed 44 , just a quick chat. gradually though, the 45 got worse. soon it was 46 use, until, finally, addiction. and it began to affect (影响) my 47 . during the day i would disappear for 48 call. if i couldnt make a call, i spent the whole time waiting for the phone to ring. getting more and more 49 , in the end, i would ring someone, then someone else, 50 myself just one more call. i was phoning people and 51 messages to make sure 52 calls would see me through the day. i used to arrive at friends homes and before the door was closed, go straight for the phone with the 53 “is it ok if i just use the phone .?” at work, i became 54 when my fellow workers tried to 55 me from using the phone. and one day i hit my boss (with the phone). finally, the police caught me 56 a phone box that had taken my last one pound coin, and i was 57 to see a psychiatrist (心理医生). i havent 58 a phone in the house for three weeks now, and its several days 59 i used a phone box. i try not to watch tv because there are 60 people on it making phone calls. my name is jim shelley and i am an addict.41. a. face b. findc. accept d. notice42. a. now and then b. all the time c. at home d. at work43. a. tried b. asked c. waited d. invited44. a. polite b. importantc. fined. special45. a. condition b. situation c. result d. effect46. a. frequent b. regular c. unusual d. particular47. a. friends b. study c. familyd. work48. a. a quick b. a secret c. an expected d. an extra49. a. hopeful b. delighted c. frightenedd. anxious50. a. forcing b. telling c. givingd. limiting51. a. leaving b. taking c. passing d. recording52. a. long b. immediate c. enough d. surprising53. a. saying b. demands c. wish d. words54. a. carefulb. mad c. determinedd. helpless55. a. save b. reduce c. protect d. stop56. a. destroying b. using c. stealingd. emptying57. a. offered b. guidedc. ordered d. reminded58. a. missedb. hadc. receivedd. fixed59. a. as b. when c. ifd. since60. a. always b. just c. more d. different福建短文填词 阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1）汉语提示，2）首字母提示，3）语境提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，所填单词要求意义准确，拼写正确，并将该词完整地写在答题卡中相应的横线上。 mr. smith offers us some advice on how to write a good composition, which i 61 the following steps. firstly, we should read the topic c 62 and organize our ideas. then we start to shape our thoughts 63 our own words and finish our writing in the g 64 time. after that, we have to check our compositions, paying attention to 65 (语法) and spelling. it is very important to read them aloud to 66 (自己) or someone else from 67 to end. lastly, we had better ask our teachers or classmates for advice on how to improve our writing. if 68 (可能), we may leave them alone for some time before reading again, 69 will help a great deal. i hope you will b 70 a lot from the advice above.短文改错 i was playing at my cousin house. since his family was rich than mine, he had more toys than i did. there was one on particular id always wanted. i put into my pocket when he wasnt looking. i guessed, even at that age, i would never be able to enjoy to playing with the toy or faced my cousin again; i would always know id done something wrong. late on, my aunt drove me home. when she dropped me off, i pulled out the toy slow and gave it back. she knows what had happe
