24、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 boatThe wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let's start with the wind blowing from the behindThis means th

25、e wind and the boat are going in the same directionThen you must always keep the sail outside the boatIt should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boatThen it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boatIn this case, you must keep the sail half way out

26、side the boatIt should be at a 45° angle to the boatIt needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn't flap (擺動)It shouldn't look like on a flagpoleIf it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possibleIf you try,

27、the sail will flap and the boat will stopYou may want to go in that directionIt is possible, but you can't go in a straight lineYou must go first in one direction and then in anotherThis is called tackingWhen you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.50What should you consid

DIn an official report.CFacial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationshipsFor example, in American culture (文化) the smile

30、 is in general an expression of pleasureYet it also has other usesA woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young childA smile may show love or politenessIt can also hide true feelingsIt often causes confusion (困惑) across culturesFor example,

31、 many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improperYet 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 don'

32、t smile enoughIn Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelingsVietnamese 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 cu

33、ltureThe 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 emotionsRather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permittedFor example, in public and in formal situations many Japane

34、se do not show their emotions as freely as Americans doWhen 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 StatesPeople from certain cultural

35、 backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than othersThe key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are differentIf we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.54What does the smile

38、e Up Your Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failureThe generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone's winter.” And their report cards sounded more positive (

39、正面的) than ever beforeAs a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 yearsHer research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to

40、itHere's how they work:A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic you're a born artist, point guard, or numbers personThe fixed mind-set believes it's sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shameWhen things get difficult, it's

41、quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possibleBecause the ego (自尊) isn't on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance

42、rather than shameWhen faced with a difficulty, it's quick to rethink, change and try againIn fact, it enjoys this experience.We are all born with growth mind-sets(Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets b

45、th one's birth.CScores should be highly valued.DGetting over difficulties is enjoyable.60What should parents do for their children based on Dweck's study?AEncourage them to learn from failures.BPrevent them from making mistakes.CGuide them in doing little things.DHelp them grow with praise.第

46、二節 （共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分） 根據短文內容，從下框的AF選項中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該選項涂黑。選項中有一項為多余項。A. Be well-organised.B. Close with a Q & A.C. Dont be contradictory.D. Bring it to a specific end.E. Speak slowly and pause.F. Drop unnecessary words. Speaking to a group can be difficult, but listening to a bad speech

47、 is truly a tiresome taskespecially when the speaker is confusing. Dont want to confuse your audience? Follow these suggestions:61. When it comes to understanding new information, the human brain needs a little time. First, we hear the words; then, we compare the new information to what we already k

48、now. If the two are different, we need to pause and think. But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us. Slow it down. And breathe.62. Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions, which is very difficult to follow

49、. When you confuse your listeners with opposing information, you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember. Instead of relying on keeping correcting yourself, work to get the facts clear and straight.63. Jumping from point to point as it co

50、mes to your mind puts the onus(責任)on your listeners to make up for your lack of organisation. And its confusing for them to listen, reorganize, and figure out what youre saying all at once. But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily. You can arrange t

51、hings from beginning to end, small to large, top to bottom or by some other order. Just be sure to organize.64. Repeated use of um, ah, like, you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy. It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared, and it can leave listeners so annoyed

52、 that they cant pay attention. Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes. Was anybody grasping the intended message? Um, probably not.65. Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q&A) sessions, but some let t

53、he Q & A go on without a clear end. The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave. Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions, and close your speech with a specific signaleven if its something simple like, “If you ha

54、ve any more questions, you know where to reach me.”Or even more to the point, conclude your speech with “Thanks for your time.”第三部分寫作 (共三節，滿分55分)第一節單詞拼寫 (每小題1分) (每空只寫一詞)66Do you speak any _ (外國) languages?67Rebecca was the _ (驕傲) of her family.68Will you stop _ (打斷) me when I'm talking?69David Beckham's _ (國籍) is British.70The _ (現代) history of Italy dates from 1860.71Bob's _ (侄子) is a freshman at Harvard University.72Alice wanted to borrow Jack's c
