【題目】Getting Ready for Yoga

Feeling tired? Under too much stress? Well, you may want to try Yoga (瑜珈). It’s what more and more people have been turning to release the trouble of modern life. Practically unheard of in the West until 50 years ago, Yoga has become one of the most popular health trends around the world, including China. If you search for Yoga on line in Chinese, lots of pages are there to see, most of which are main pages of Yoga clubs. In order to keep fit and lose weight, many girls spend more than 1000 yuan taking part in Yoga classes every month.

However, are you really ready for it? There are several things you need to know before you really take it.

First, do not force your body too much. Yoga has many difficult poses. They are beautiful and worth boasting if you could finish them. But if you force yourself to do as exactly as an experienced Yoga teacher does, you may hurt your body, instead of strengthening it. Do you remember you original purpose for playing Yoga? It is self -building, not competing.

Second, do some research about the Yoga class that you are to registering. Yoga is new in China and there are not so many certificated well-trained Yoga teachers. Some not well organized clubs just find someone learn a little Yoga and certificate them. But be aware, a non-eligible teacher might wrongly guide you and you could not benefit from the classes much except that they force you to exercise your body a bit. Considering about the large amount of money you invest in it, it’s worth and reasonable to make sure the teachers in the club are qualified before you join.

Third, it would be better to learn something about nutrition when you practice Yoga. In the very beginning, Yoga was part of the Vedas, bible of the traditional Indian philosophy. So it could be regarded as a kind of lifestyle. When you have decided to care for your body, why not feed it properly? In fact, good clubs have their own nutritionists.

Anyhow, make sure you are ready before you act. The trend may change quickly, but you can benefit from practicing yoga anyway.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】B

【4】C

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了報名上瑜伽課之前需要了解的幾件事。

【1】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Yoga is new in China and there are not so many certificated well-trained Yoga teachers. Some not well organized clubs just find someone learn a little Yoga and certificate them.”和“it’s worth and reasonable to make sure the teachers in the club are qualified before you join”可知，該段建議你找有資格的俱樂部練習瑜伽。因為目前中國沒有那么多訓練有素的認證瑜伽教練。對于畫線詞所在句子可知，“一個沒有資格”的瑜伽老師會對你進行錯誤的引導。故該畫線詞應指“沒有資格的”，故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“However, are you really ready for it? There are several things you need to know before you really take it.”和最后一段中的“Anyhow, make sure you are ready before you act.”可知，作者建議你在參加瑜伽課之前要了解幾件事，然后再考慮上瑜伽課。由此推知，作者并不建議讀者盲目地追隨潮流練瑜伽。故選D。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“There are several things you need to know before you really take it”以及下文中“First…; Second; Third”可知，作者主要是介紹一些參加瑜伽課之前需要了解的注意事項。結合選項：B(為那些想上瑜伽課的人提供一些建議)符合語境。故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“In the very beginning, Yoga was part of the Vedas, bible of the traditional Indian philosophy. So it could be regarded as a kind of lifestyle.”可知，瑜伽是印度傳統(tǒng)哲學圣經(jīng)《吠陀》的一部分。所以它可以被視為一種生活方式。由此可知，瑜伽和印度文化有關。故選C。
