Wind is a powerful force(力量) in nature. Wind energy is one of the causes of great waves in the world’s oceans. Winds can help create powerful storms, but wind is a force you can’t see but can surely feel. Its power can be used to create electricity for cities and the countryside.

Wind can also power many expressions in American English. Let’s start with a simple one. If you run like the wind, you are a very fast runner. After running, sometimes you can feel full of energy. The runner gets what we call a second wind. We use this expression when we are tired, but then get more energy to finish something. For example, sometimes I feel tired after work. But after a short rest and a cup of tea, I get my second wind. I’m ready to do something fun with my friends and family.

If you are doing something difficult, it is good to have the wind at your back. In this way, it is easier to go forward. It’s always more difficult to do something in a strong wind–unless you are sailing.

Knowing the direction of the wind is the most important part of sailing. When wind fills a sail, it makes the boat go faster. If you take the wind out of someone’s sails, you prevent them from reaching their goals. You create a barrier(障礙) or stop them in some way. In life, it’s lucky to have friends who want to fill your sails with wind and not take it out.

Let’s turn from sailing to music. Many songwriters use the image(形象) of wind in their songs. If something such as an idea is blowing in the wind, it is being discussed but has yet to be decided. When a singer sings “you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows,” he means that you don’t need someone in power to confirm something for you. Just trust yourself. You can find it out on your own. So, when you know which way the wind blows, you know what is going on.

Now you know which way the wind blows. Then how can you use these expressions properly? First, read them aloud and keep them in mind. Then, practice using them and test yourself. You know, practice makes perfect.

【解析】文章大意：本文主要介紹了自然界的一種強(qiáng)大的力量——風(fēng)，以及風(fēng)能的表達(dá)方式，最后建議我們正確使用和學(xué)習(xí)這些風(fēng)向的表達(dá)。

【1】根據(jù)文中的句子Wind energy is one of the causes of great waves in the world’s oceans.，可知，風(fēng)可以在世界海洋中掀起巨浪，cause“掀起、引起”，前面有情態(tài)動(dòng)詞may，所以這里用其原形形式，故答案填cause。

【2】根據(jù)本方框后面所對(duì)應(yīng)的內(nèi)容可知都是在說(shuō)明風(fēng)提供能量的表達(dá)方式，expression“表達(dá)方式”，可數(shù)名詞，后面列舉了多種風(fēng)提供能量的表達(dá)方式，所以應(yīng)用其復(fù)數(shù)形式，故答案填expressions。

【3】根據(jù)文中的句子If you run like the wind, you are a very fast runner.可知，像風(fēng)一樣奔跑的人是跑得很快的人，故答案填fast。

【4】根據(jù)文中的句子After running, sometimes you can feel full of energy. The runner gets what we call a second wind.可知，當(dāng)跑步者在跑步后恢復(fù)體力時(shí)，他再次感到精力充沛，second wind固定詞組“恢復(fù)體力”，故答案填second。

【5】根據(jù)文中的句子If you are doing something difficult, it is good to have the wind at your back. In this way, it is easier to go forward. It’s always more difficult to do something in a strong wind–unless you are sailing. 可知，如果你是帆船，風(fēng)在你背后推你更容易，本句暗含比較級(jí)，把風(fēng)在背后推你和沒(méi)有風(fēng)在背后推你來(lái)作比較，所以應(yīng)用easy的比較級(jí)，故答案填easier。

【6】根據(jù)文中的句子When wind fills a sail, it makes the boat go faster.可知，當(dāng)帆船被風(fēng)填滿時(shí)，船就會(huì)走得更快，be filled with“被…充滿”，故答案填filled。

【7】根據(jù)文中的句子In life, it’s lucky to have friends who want to fill your sails with wind and not take it out.在生活中，有朋友想讓風(fēng)吹滿你的船帆，而不是把它吹走，那你是幸運(yùn)的，可知如果有朋友想把你船帆的風(fēng)吹走，那么你應(yīng)該是不幸的，故答案填unlucky。

【8】根據(jù)文中的句子Many songwriters use the image of wind in their songs.可知，風(fēng)的形象被許多詞曲作家使用，be used by被…使用，故答案填used。

【9】根據(jù)文中的句子If something such as an idea is blowing in the wind, it is being discussed but has yet to be decided.可知，當(dāng)一個(gè)想法在風(fēng)中飄蕩時(shí)，它還沒(méi)有決定，需要討論一下，由前面needs可知need是實(shí)義動(dòng)詞，這里需要填一個(gè)名詞作賓語(yǔ)，need doing是一種固定的用法，need后接動(dòng)名詞主動(dòng)形式，表示被動(dòng)意義，這時(shí)動(dòng)名詞和主語(yǔ)之間有動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，本句即為“這個(gè)idea需要被討論”，“討論”動(dòng)名詞形式為discussing，故答案填discussing。

【10】根據(jù)本方框后面所對(duì)應(yīng)的內(nèi)容Read them aloud and remember them.Practice using them and test yourself.可知，這是給出的學(xué)習(xí)建議，故答案填advice或suggestions，因其位于句首，所以首字母大寫(xiě)，故答案填Advice/Suggestions。
