【解析】考查方法类文章。本文主要讲述如何在日常生活中创造平静。
【1】G
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空的的内容“A few simple minutes can create much needed moments of calm.”可知,这儿说的是短短的几分钟就可以让心灵得到宁静。分析内容可知,指的是创造宁静的方法很简单。分析选项可知G项(你不必找一座山坐着,…)符合题意,故选G项。
【2】D
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。空前的关键词“stress reducing(减轻压力)”及空后的“makes room for(让出空间)”可知,是将有压力的想法从脑中去掉。分析选项可知D项(是时候让甩掉你脑中的压力)符合题意,故选D项。
【3】B
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空后的“Actually, nature is everywhere.”可知,这是一个转折,所以本题应该与空前的内容相反的。而前面说的是到大自然中去,因此本小题与大自然相反的应当是城市。分析选项可知B项(但是如果你在城里怎么办?)符合题意,故选B项。
【4】F
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空前的关键词“music”定位到E项和F项。E项与前文没有关系,前文并没有提及到express feelng。而F项符合题意,故选F项。
【5】A
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空后的“Certain activities like yoga and tai chi need quiet focus…. Perfect…. good for the body, mind and spirit.”可知,讲述运动的好处,那么你应该多多运动。分析剩下的三个选项可知A项(做一些运动)与本段中有关,且有词的复现。故选A
