【答案】
【1】G
【2】D
【3】B
【4】F
【5】C
【解析】试题分析:本文主要讲的是如何在日常生活中创造平静。
【1】G考查上下文理解。根据空前的内容“A few simple minutes can create much needed moments of calm.”可知这里说的是简单的几分钟就可以创造一种心灵的宁静。所以空里应该填创造宁静的简单性。G项最符合我们的要求。
【2】D考查上下文理解。根据空前的关键词stress reducing“减轻压力”以及后面的makes room“腾出空间”可知这里是将有压力的想法腾出你的脑子。
【3】B考查上下文理解。根据空后的“Actually, nature is everywhere.”可知这里是个小转折。所以空里应该填入的是与空前的情况不太相符的内容。前面说的是到大自然中去,这里填入的是如果你住在城市该怎么办。
【4】F考查上下文理解。根据空前的关键词music定位到E项和F项。E项与前文没有联系,前文并没有提到express feelings。因此F项更合适。
【5】C考查上下文理解。根据空后的句式“They are…”定位到C项。空前说的是瑜伽和太极等运动。他们对运动的宁静很有益处。因此选C。
