[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍练习太极拳的五点好处。
1.F [根据小标题“It's easy on the body.”可知,太极拳对身体不会造成过多的压力或负担,以及下一句“as muscles remain relaxed without any stretching or straining”可知,本句是在解释太极拳不会对身体造成压力的原因。故F选项“它的低冲击力使得关节损伤的风险降到最低”符合语境。]
2.E [根据小标题 “It could prevent falls.”以及上文“Certainly, the emphasis is on balance, with sideways and backwards movements aiding in the strengthening of the muscles necessary for stability.”可知,练习太极拳可以避免摔倒是因为该运动有助于加强稳定所必需的肌肉。而E选项“侧向和向后的动作还能提高灵活性和空间意识”是另一个原因。其中also为语篇标志词,表示与上一句构成并列关系, They指代上句中的sideways and backwards movements。]
3.C [根据后文“Research shows that practising Tai Chi on a regular basis can enhance cognitive abilities in older adults, both those with and without memory issues.Given that it's considered safe and suitable for the elderly, this is a definite win.”以及语篇结构可知,在练习太极拳的五个原因中,前两个是对身体健康的好处,从第三个开始讨论对心理健康的好处。C选项“好处不只是身体上的”指出太极拳的好处不仅仅局限于身体上的,也包括了心理方面的好处,起到了承接上下段的功能。]
4.A [根据本段内容“A reduction in stress and anxiety, along with an increase in confidence, is another mental health benefit of Tai Chi, as indicated by research findings, though further research is needed to comprehensively understand and confirm these effects.”可知,该段谈论了太极拳对心理健康的好处,包括减轻压力和焦虑,增强自信心。因此,从逻辑上来说,该段标题应该强调太极拳对心理健康的积极影响。选项A “它让人感觉良好”符合语境。]
5.D [根据小标题 “You can do it at home.”以及上文“Attending classes can be beneficial for receiving structured instruction and connecting with likeminded individuals.”和后文“providing an alternative for practicing at home”可知D选项“但是网上也有视频”符合要求。 这个选项提到了在线视频使得在家练习成为可能,与小标题提到的在家练习的内容相关,同时与前一句构成转折关系。此外,该段倒数第二句话中的one指代D选项中的 “video”。]
