Question

【題目】 Most people know yoga as a kind of exercise. To practise yoga, you put your body into different positions. The correct breathing is also important. However, yoga is really about more than just exercise. Yoga cannot just help people to be healthier but also help connect people to each other and to nature.

The history of yoga goes back at least 5,000 years. It was first developed in Northern India. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, yoga was introduced to the Western world. By the 1960s yoga had become a very popular form of exercise in the United States and Europe.

Yoga is good for the mind and body. Regular practice of yoga helps people to improve their balance and stamina(耐力). Although you won't really get out of breath, like you might when playing football or running, it does help to keep your heart healthy and you can lose weight. It also improves concentration(注意力)and helps people to sleep better, so it's great for anyone who is under pressure at work or in their studies.

There are lots of different types of yoga, so you can choose what is best for you. Hatha Yoga is often good for beginners, because you hold each position for a few breaths. In Vinyasa Yoga you change position much more quickly and you might get out of breath. It's quite challenging if you haven't done much yoga before. Bikram Yoga is sometimes called `hot yoga', because the room must be heated to around 40 degrees. Or what about `Aeroyoga', where you do yoga while you are hanging from the ceiling? It's supposed to be very good for your back.

Whatever kind of yoga you choose, there are surely some health benefits(好處),and you should have fun too.

瑜伽是我們都很熟悉的一種運(yùn)動形式，它對我們的身心健康非常有好處。這篇短文給我們介紹了瑜伽的歷史以及各種不同類型的瑜伽。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Yoga cannot just help people to be healthier but also help connect people to each other and to nature.”以及第三段“It also improves concentration(注意力)and helps people to sleep better, so it's great for anyone who is under pressure at work or in their studies.”可知，瑜伽可以使人身心放松，拉近人們的距離。D選項符合文意，故選D。A和B兩個選項文中沒有提到；根據(jù)第四段“There are lots of different types of yoga, so you can choose what is best for you.”可知C不對。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第四段“In Vinyasa Yoga you change position much more quickly and you might get out of breath. It's quite challenging if you haven't done much yoga before.”可知，Vinyasa對于以前沒有練習(xí)過瑜伽的人來說是困難的。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。A“瑜伽什么時候在哪里出現(xiàn)的”，這個在文章第二段提到了；B“瑜伽的好處是什么”，這個在文章第一段和第三段都有提到；C“什么時候是練習(xí)瑜伽好時候”，這個短文中沒有提到；D“你可以選擇什么類型的瑜伽”，這一點(diǎn)是在文章第四段提到的。故選C。
