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。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a.b.c和d项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 ahow to improve my life? many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. theyll say, this is my fate, my destiny. i cannot change it. of course not! you dont have to suffer needlessly. your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors. i know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. guess what her lifestyle is? she wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches tv, then goes to sleep. next day, the same routine cycle follows. huh! is this what she calls doing her best? she believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that god has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if god wills it. of course god wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting(运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams. remember that you reap what you sow. you just dont sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. you have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the tv screen, get your hands off the phone. dont expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. if something goes wrong, dont just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. its not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.if someones life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? of course not! you get to do anything you can to save the person. so it is with your own life. it is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. in other words, dont just stand (or sit ) there, do something to improve your life.1 according to the woman mentioned in para.3, her life _. a. doesnt need improving b. couldnt be improved c. will be better some day d. will be worse in the future 2 what does the author think of the womans life?
