Question

【題目】 “Humans can develop certain abilities we aren't born with by practicing animals' movements,” the traditional Chinese Wushu lovers believed in the past — and still do today.

Chinese Five-Animal Exercises, also known as Wuqinxi, are the first complete set of qigong exercises following the movements of animals: monkeys, deer (鹿), birds, bears and tigers. They were created by one of the greatest doctors in Chinese history, Hua Tuo, more than 1, 800 years ago.

The Five-Animal Exercises are well-designed to help blood circulation (循環(huán)), and let the energy go smoothly in the body so as to improve the health.

“The bear movements are good for the stomach. The tiger movements can reduce the pain in the back. The deer movements help reduce the fat around the waist (腰). The bird movements can help keep our knees healthy and the monkey movements can be good for the heart.” said Hua Yi, the 59th inheritor (繼承人) of Wuqinxi.

For those new learners, the first few exercises might not go well. You may find it hard to focus(集中注意力). Wear comfortable clothes, keep peaceful in your mind, try to move slowly... Little by little, you'll feel more and more harmonious with nature. You may even feel you become a tiger or a deer, walking in the forest freely.

These exercises need no tools and they are easy to learn. You can search online for the videos and practice them at any time when you feel like relaxing your body and mind. Because it's fun to practice and good for health, Five-Animal Exercises are becoming more and more popular in recent years, not only in China, but also in many other places of the world.

本文是一篇說明文，文章介紹了中國五禽戲的誕生、練習(xí)的好處和建議等內(nèi)容。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“The Five-Animal Exercises are well-designed to help blood circulation (循環(huán)), and let the energy go smoothly in the body so as to improve the health.”可知練習(xí)五禽戲有助于血液循環(huán)，改善身體健康，故選C。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中“The tiger movements can reduce the pain in the back.”可知老虎的動作可以減輕背部的疼痛，所以如果爺爺背疼，可以練習(xí)老虎的動作，故選D。

【3】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第五段中“For those new learners, the first few exercises might not go well. ”和“You may even feel you become a tiger or a deer, walking in the forest freely.”可知初學(xué)者在開始練習(xí)時可能不太順利，隨著練習(xí)的逐漸熟練，可能都會覺得自己變成了一只在森林里自由行走的老虎或鹿，即與自然能夠和諧融洽相處，所以harmonious的意思是“和諧的”，故選B。

【4】

篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。根據(jù)全文脈絡(luò)可知，文章圍繞五禽戲展開，第一和第二段主要介紹了五禽戲的誕生，第三段和第四段介紹了練習(xí)五禽戲的好處，最后兩段就如何練習(xí)五禽戲提出了一些建議，故選A。
