One day, the backache I regularly suffered was more painful. I was brought up to think that the preferred way of dealing with aches is to do nothing and hope they39。ll go away, but I eventually went to the doctor. After examining me, he said, You actually have bad posture (姿勢). Go off and learn the Alexander technique. Three months later I could walk straighter and sit better. The Alexander technique is a way of learning how you can get rid of harmful tension in your body. The teaching focuses on the neck, head and back. It trains you to use your body less severely and carry out the movements that we do all the time with less effort. There is little effort in the lessons themselves, which sets apart the Alexander technique from yoga or pilates, which are exercisebased. A typical lesson involves standing in front of a chair and learning to sit and stand with minimum effort. You spend some time lying on a bench with your knees bent to straighten the spine (脊椎) and relax your body while the teacher moves your arms and legs to train you to move them correctly. The technique helps to break the bad habits accumulated over years. Try folding your arms the opposite way to normal. This is an example of a habit the body has formed which can be hard to break. Many of us carry our heads too far back. The head weighs four to six kilos, so any inappropriate posture can cause problems for the body. The technique teaches you to let go of the muscles holding the head back, allowing it to go back to its natural place on the top of our spines. So who was Alexander and how did he e up with the technique? Frederick Alexander, an Australian actor born in 1869, found in his youth that he had vocal (聲音的) problems during performances. He analyzed himself and realized his posture was bad. He worked on improving it, with excellent results. He brought his technique to London and opened a teachertraining school, which is still successful today. So if you39。re walking along the road one day with shoulders bent forward, feeling weighed down by your troubles, give a thought to the Alexander technique. It will help you walk tall again.(1)What does the author suggest in Paragraph 1?

A.Physical tension shouldn39。t be pletely relieved.B.The technique shouldn39。t be bined with other exercises.C.The practice of the technique shouldn39。t be attempted alone.D.Familiar physical actions shouldn39。t be done with much effort.(3)What can we learn about Frederick Alexander?

A.The occurrence of back pain is widespread.B.Alexander improved the technique to treat body pain.C.The Alexander technique helps overe posture problems.D.People with back pain are victims of inappropriate postures.【答案】 (1)D(2)D(3)A(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹亞歷山大技巧的對于矯正身體的作用以及其發(fā)明者。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“I was brought up to think that the preferred way of dealing with aches is to do nothing and hope they39。ll go away, but I eventually went to the doctor.”可知,作者從小就被灌輸這樣的思維,處理疼痛的更好辦法就是不做任何事情,希望疼痛自行消失,但是卻最終不得不去看醫(yī)生,故可知,作者看醫(yī)生都是迫不得已,故選D。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“It trains you to use your body less severely and carry out the movements that we do all the time with less effort.”可知,亞歷山大技巧讓你更合理使用身體,用最小的努力來做那些習(xí)慣性的動(dòng)作,故可知,該技巧的原則就是用最小的力來做習(xí)慣性的動(dòng)作,故選D。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Frederick Alexander, an Australian actor born in 1869, found in his youth that he had vocal (聲音的) problems during performances. He analyzed himself and realized his posture was bad. He worked on improving it, with excellent results.”可知,弗雷德里克亞歷山大,一個(gè)出身于186年的澳大利亞演員,在年輕的時(shí)候聲音出了問題。他做了分析,意識(shí)到自己的姿勢不正確,因此致力于改善姿勢,結(jié)果很好,故可知,他通過矯正姿勢,解決了自己的聲音問題,故選A。 (4)考查主旨大意。本文介紹亞歷山大技巧的對于矯正身體的作用以及其發(fā)明者,故可知在介紹亞歷山大技巧的作用,故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇科普類閱讀,要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。5.犇犇閱讀理解 You know those nutrition guidelines the government issues every few years? It turns out that following them isn39。t just good for your health. It39。s good for the planet, too. What we found is that impacts vary across nations, but in the high173。impact nations, in general, you can see that, if you follow a nationally remended diet, despite the fact that these diets don39。t mention explicitly—or most of them don39。t explicitly mention—environmental impacts, that you are going to have lower environmental impacts due to that. So that39。s sort of fairly clear across all the high173。ine nations. said Paul Behrens, an environmental scientist at Leiden Unive
