【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了瑜伽的三種不同的體式。

【1】設(shè)空句前的This results in lower blood pressure, a decrease in stress and healthy muscle.是介紹瑜伽能給健康方面帶來的好處。設(shè)空句后的With poses ranging from simple to challenging. yoga gives your mind something to think about.是介紹瑜伽給精神方面產(chǎn)生的影響。設(shè)空句應(yīng)該是承上啟下句，F項中的But beyond its health benefit是承上，yoga brings a lot of fun是啟下。瑜伽除了會帶來健康方面的益處，它也會帶來很多樂趣。選項F切題，故選F。

【2】設(shè)空句前Stand barefoot on a no-slip mat and put your feet side-by-side.中出現(xiàn)了feet和mat，詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)，選項E符合。而設(shè)空句前句義為：赤腳站在防滑墊上，將雙腳并排放置�？芍�，是教授如何靜止站立進行相關(guān)瑜伽動作的。選項E：調(diào)整你的雙腳直到它們可以舒適地接觸墊子。是靜止站立的動作要領(lǐng)，切題，故選E。

【3】設(shè)空句上文的Lift your arms until they’re parallel with the floor. 抬起手臂，直到它們與地板平行。設(shè)空句前一句Then turn your left foot 90 degrees to the left, and turn your right foot about 45 degrees toward your left. 然后向左轉(zhuǎn)動左腳 90 度，將右腳向左轉(zhuǎn)動約 45 度�？芍�，這一瑜伽動作是腳與手臂配合。選項G：雙腳腳跟都應(yīng)該與你的手臂下面形成一條線。是腳與手臂配合。選項G切題，故選G。

【4】設(shè)空句后Then drop the head and neck toward your mat…然后把頭和脖子朝墊子伸去...，句中的then表明設(shè)空句是這一段落所介紹動作的后一部分，設(shè)空句是進行與此相關(guān)的動作的前一部分。選項D：保持背部和頸部成一條直線。是下一步動作的開始，選項D切題，故選D。

【5】設(shè)空句在文章尾段，是文章的總結(jié)段落，要總結(jié)前文的內(nèi)容。設(shè)空句后的Gradually add more asanas to your practice. Before long, you’ll notice a positive change in your body and your mind. 逐漸在你的練習(xí)中添加更多的體式。不久，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)你的身體和頭腦有積極的變化。這句是設(shè)空句內(nèi)容的延續(xù)深化。選項C如果你可以的話，每天練習(xí)這些體式。選項C切題，故選C。

在做七選五題型的題目時，可以通過設(shè)空句上下文中詞匯與選項中詞匯有無同義或近義，先對七個選項做初步篩選。然后根據(jù)上下文語義的相關(guān)性做進一步確定。本題中的第2小題中設(shè)空句前的Stand barefoot on a no-slip mat and put your feet side-by-side.句中的feet和mat，在選項E中出現(xiàn)了相同的詞匯，可以初步認(rèn)定選項E符合詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)。再進一步看設(shè)空句前的語義為：赤腳站在防滑墊上，將雙腳并排放置。可知，是教授如何靜止站立進行相關(guān)瑜伽動作的。而選項E語義為：調(diào)整你的雙腳直到它們可以舒適地接觸墊子。也是靜止站立的動作要領(lǐng)，從而最終確定選項E就是該小題答案。
