After supper on week days，anytime on weekends and especially any day in school holidays，so many roller skaters flow into streets, squares，parks and playgrounds. What a beautiful sight!But a long time ago, roller skating was a different story. Before 1750，the idea of skating didnt exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin，whose work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked playing the violin. Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. Very pleased and a little excited, he accepted it. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think hard how to make a grand entrance at the party. A strange idea struck him one dayhe would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.He tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Very proud of his invention, he couldnt wait for the special day to come，when he would arrive at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin did as he had planned, rolling into the room playing his violin. Quite astonished，all present cast their eyes over him. Then, unexpectedly, came one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on.

But will it help you lose weight? Practicing any type of yoga will build strength, but some types may not raise your heart rate enough to help you carry out your weightloss plan. It depends on the type of yoga you select and how frequently you practice it.In order to lose weight, you must eat healthily and burn calories by doing exercise that raises your heart rate on a regular basis. Some types of yoga，such as Iyengar，in which yoga poses are held for several minutes with a resting period between each pose，will build muscles and improve your posture(姿势), but will not give you the workout you need to lose weight.If you plan to make yoga your primary form of exercise，you must do a 90minute yoga class at least three times a week. Many people also choose to combine yoga with running, walking or other aerobic exercises in order to reach their weightloss goals.The type of yoga you need to do is called vinyasa or flow yoga. This style of yoga is based on the performance of a series of poses called sun salutations(拜日式). Vinyasa inludes many popular and athletic yoga styles. For weightloss purposes，try Ashtanga，Power Yoga and Hot Yoga.Keep yourself exercising by doing yoga at home on the days you cant make a class. Follow along with a video or audio recording if you are new to yoga. When you are ready to plan your own workouts, use these yoga ideas to help you come up with some right choices that will fit your schedule.瑜伽可以锻炼身心、减缓压力，但并非所有的瑜伽练习形式都能减肥。5What are the benefits of regularly practicing yoga?improving health feeling betterreducing stress losing weightA B C D答案：A。事实细节题。由文章第1、2段内容可知答案。6According to the passage, all the following can help you lose weight EXCEPT _.A.

The 94% I received this term does not reflect the hard work that I put into this course. Because of her“improvement” theory, I got a lower grade than I deserve. Is her grading philosophy morally correct? Answer：Your teachers grading system may be unwise, but it is not morally wrong. A teacher deserves wide latitude in selecting the method of grading that best promotes learning in her classroom; that is, after all, the prime function of grades. It is she who has the training and experience to make this decision.You can criticize her methodology. A 100 need not imply that there is no possibility of improvement，only that a student successfully completed the course work. A ninth grader could get a wellearned 100 in English class but still has a way to go before he writes as well as Jane Austen. Whats more ，grades are not only an educational device but are also part of a screening system to help assign(分配) kids to their next class or program. By capping her grades at 94 while most other teachers grade on a scale that tops out at 100, your teacher could risk making a student lose a chance of getting a scholarship or getting in to a top college.What it is wrong to condemn her for is overlooking your hard work. Your hard work is worthy of encouragement, but effort does not equal accomplishment. If scholars suddenly discovered that Rembrandt had dashed off The Night Watch in an afternoon, it would still be The Night Watch.I could spend months sweating over my own“paintings”， but Id produce something you wouldnt want to hang in your living room or your garage.One feature of a good grading system is that those measured by it generally regard it as fair and reasonablenot the case here. Strong feeling of anger is seldom an aid to education. And so your next step should be to discuss your concerns with your teacher or the principal.作者就一个九年级学生提出的“老师评分标准的问题”阐明了自己的观点。 9When writing the question，the ninthgrader was _.A. annoyed B. worriedC. excited D. delighted答案：A。事实细节题。由首段末尾两句可知，这位九年级的学生为老师的评分标准不能真实反映自己在该科上的努力程度而烦恼，甚至询问这种标准是否道德，应选A。10The underlined word“latitude” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. difference B. knowledgeC. freedom D. experience答案：C。词义猜测题。由第2段尾句“It is she who has the training and experience to make this decision”可推知答案。11Rembrandts painting is mentioned to show that_.A. theres difference between effort and achievementB. The Night Watch was completed in half a dayC. everybodys hard work should be encouragedD. one is to blame for doing the work in a hurry答案：A。推理判断题。由倒数第3段中的“., but effort does not equal accomplishment”可推知所举例子是为了说明这句话。应选A。12What is the authors attitude towards the grading system of the ninthgraders teacher?A. Supportive. B. Confused. C. Unconcerned. D. Unfavorable.答案：D。推理判断题。由第2段首句，第3段首句和尾段首句可推知作者对这位老师的做法持一种不赞成的态度。应选D。易错选C。作者的态度是通过行文过程中的一些带有感情色彩的词汇或短语来表达的，如第2段首句中的unwise，第3段首句中的criticize和尾段首句中的not the case here等，考生必须善于从字里行间领会作者的观点态度。 D(2017皖南八校第三次联考，D)You can love them or hate them, but no matter which tourist destination you visit, chances are youll see someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook.Lonely Planet is one of the worlds largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages. The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts(播客) all devoted to travel.Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable. They also save time and make sure you dont miss the best things.They also provide the reviews of hostels(旅社), hotels, restaurants and ticket information about your destination.This can be great if youre a nervous traveler，or if you havent traveled by yourself before. If youre in a country where you dont speak the language, sometimes theres nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook. You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel thats cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer.But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like them. They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity(自发性) out of traveling，and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen. They also regret that if you follow a guidebook，youll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone else. You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local communities. For example, some locals devote their lives to behaving in ways that attract tourists. They pretend to live a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses in order to attract the tourist dollar.旅游指南真是让人喜欢让人恨。它在给人们的旅游带来便利的同时也使人们失去了旅游的自发性、冒险性带来的乐趣等。13The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that _.A. you can speak a foreign language when opening a guidebookB. you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange cityC. it provides lots of useful information about your destinationD. it can help you save time and money when traveling答案：A。事实细节题。由第五段可知B正确；由第四段可知C项正确；由第三段可知D正确；A在文中没有提及。14People criticize the guidebook because _.A. it is not as useful as most travelers expectB. tourist destinations will be crowded if everyone follows the same routeC. travelers may not get the chance to have unexpected adventuresD. local people keep modern lifestyles under its influence答案：C。细节推断题。由第六段中的“.and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen”可知C正确。15What do we know about the Lonely Planet guidebook from the text?A. Its a worldfamous brand only producing guidebooks for travelers.B. Its very useful to a person whos nervous about touring an unfamiliar place.C. Its very useful to a tourist who likes to repeat others experiences.D. It is loved by all travelers because of the convenience it brings to travelers.答案：B。事实细节题。由第五段首句“This can be great if youre a nervous traveler.”可知B正确。16Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? ( stand for Paragraph 1Paragraph 7)答案：C。文章结构题。分析文章的段落结构可知C项正确。第一段是引出话题，第二段简要介绍Lonely Planet，三、四、五段表达的是其有益的一面，六、七段表达的是其不好的一面，与C项结构示意图吻合。E(2017合肥第三次质检，E)Originally, making 3D film was a way for filmmakers to draw viewers away from television. Over time,3D film dipped in and out of the entertainment industry depending on the ups and downs of the market.

The culprit is climate change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US.Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmerit lives on the islands！but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9meter rise would wipe out their habitat(栖息地)completely.The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators(捕食者). As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 78 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate(迁移) to higher groundbut they already occupy the mountaintops. They cant go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up.The volcano rabbit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists are concerned about their populations.Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have been destroyed by development. Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.41The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to _.Ashow the importance of Easter DayBintroduce the issue about bunniesCremind people of
