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 90angle(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.45. what should you consider first while sailing?asailors strength. bwave levels.cwind directions. dsize of sails.46what does the word “it” underlined in paragraph 4 refer to?athe boat. bthe wind.cthe sail. dthe angle.47what do you have to do when sailing against the wind?amove in a straight line.ballow the sail to flap.clower the sail.dtack the boat.48where can you probably find the text?ain a popular magazine.bin a tourist guidebook.cin a physics textbook.din an official report.【要点综述】本文主要介绍了航行中关于风向的问题。首先要考虑风向，然后再根据风是从船的后面，侧面还是前面来确定航行的方法。45. c细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句话 “and you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.”和第二段的内容，可知首先要考虑风向的问题。a项是不需要考虑的，b项和d项没有提及。46. c代词指代题。结合第四段中“in this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat.”中的the sail可知后面的it指的是“风帆”。而不是“船”，“风”或“角度”。47. d细节理解题。从最后一段的“you may want to go in that direction.this is called tacking.”可知是逆风航行的时候要不断地改变方向，因此选d。48. a推理判断题。本文主要涉及的是大众的航行运动的知识，而不是有关旅游和物理方面的知识，也不是一个官方的报告，因此选a。故事型阅读理解- (三)detective keeling took his clienta goodlooking lady into the yard of the store together. the lady opened a door in the wall and
