Question

20．In  （61）traditional  （tradition） Chinese culture，tai chi is often related to the Chinese idea of yin and yang，the idea that one can see two sides in everything．Once（62）upon a time，Taoist Zhang Sanfeng saw a bird attacking a snake in the Wudang Mountains in Hubei province．The snake's defense inspired him （63）to create（create） a set of 72 movements，which used （64）softness （soft）and power from inside to defeat violent force．
For those  （65）who do it，tai chi can be practiced any time and anywhere without equipment or a gymnasium．And learning to do it （66）correctly（correct） gives us a practical way to achieve such things as balance，motor control and rhythm （节奏）of movement．So it （67）is believed（ believe） that practicing tai chi can in some way help us stand，walk，move and run better．
Tai chi's benefits certainly go beyond physical ones．For Marleni Calcina from Peru，who（68）has done（do） tai chi for over 10 years，it's not only a sport，but also a way of life．And（69）it is tai chi that has helped her understand the value of"going slowly"．Now，practicing tai chi is like（70）speaking  （speak） with her soul．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要写了太极拳的由来，道士张三丰看到一只鸟攻击蛇创造了太极七十二式．

解答 61．traditional  考查形容词．此处用形容词修饰名词culture"传统的文化"． 
62．upon  考查介词．once upon a time是英语的固定搭配"从前"．  
 63．to create  考查固定搭配．inspire sb to do sth 是固定搭配"激励某人做某事； 鼓舞某人做某事"．
64．softness   考查名词．此空要填的词与名词 power 是并列的，所以此处要填名词softness．
 65．who 考查定语从句．先行词是those"那些人"，在从句中做主语，所以用关系代词who引导．
66．correctly 考查副词．此处用副词correctly修饰动词do，意思是"正确地做它"．
 67．is believed 考查固定句型．It is believed that 是英语的固定表达方法"人们相信"．
68．has done 考查时态．根据时间状语for over 10 years0年多了，本段是一般现在时，所以此处用现在完成时．
 69．it  考查强调句．本句被强调部分是tai chi，根据强调句的固定结构It is+被强调部分+that+句子的剩余部分．所以答案填it．
70．speaking 考查动名词．like是介词，根据句意：练极拳就像是和她的灵魂对话．所以speak用在介词后边，所以加ing．
