first world yoga championships？”可知，此段主要描写的是运动员在瑜伽比赛中的情景。答案：c2解析：考查细节理解。根据第二段最后一句“真正的奖是让瑜伽成为奥运会的一个项目”和第三段最后一句“为什么奥运会没有瑜伽呢？”可知，choudhury的梦想就是使瑜伽成为奥运会的项目之一。答案：a3解析：考查推理判断。作者在文中提到，在美国有一千五百万人练习瑜伽，紧接着作者特别提到两名公众人物madonna和ricky martin，其目的是以此来说明瑜伽在美国很受欢迎。答案：b4解析：考查细节理解。根据第六段第二句话可知，瑜伽不同于足球、赛跑这些运动。答案：d5解析：考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段可知，人人都可练瑜伽，但最后一段提到，怀孕妇女和患有孤独症的孩子有特别设计的瑜伽课程，沉思和简单的呼吸训练有助于青少年静心和集中精力，但十六岁以下的青少年不适宜做这种身体锻炼。因此c项“成年男子”练瑜伽时没有需要特别注意的事项。答案：c阅读理解ive been writing for most of my life. the book writing without teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. the distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. while you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. if you are listening to that 5th grade english teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting(稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. if you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. you must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.the practice that can help you pass your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what elbow calls “free writing”. in free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. no stopping, no going back, no criticizing. the goal is to get the words flowing. as the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that youve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.instead of staring at a blank screen start filling it with words no matter how bad. halfway through your available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.11. when the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel” (line 4, para. 1) in the writing process, he means _.a. no one can be both creative and criticalb. they cannot be regarded as equally importantc. they are in constant conflict with each otherd. one cannot use them at the same time12. what prevents people from writing on is _.a. putting their ideas in raw formb. attempting to edit as they writec. ignoring grammatical soundnessd. trying to capture fleeting thoughts13. what is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?a. to organize ones thoughts logically. b. to choose an appropriate topic.c. to get ones ideas down. d. to collect raw materials.14. one common concern of writers about “free writing” is that _.a. it overstresses the role of the creative mindb. it takes too much time to edit afterwardsc. it may bring about too much criticismd. it does not help them to think clearly15. whats the main idea of the passage?a. it introduces the authors writing method.b. it tells us something about the creative mind.c. it highlights the importance of critical mind.d. it shows the difficulties to write on the fly.【参考答案】1115、dbcba完形填空。many years ago, when i was a man in my twenties, i worked
