解答 36-40 GDBFC
36．G承上啟下題．根據(jù)上句A few simple minutes can create much needed moments of calm．可知短短幾分鐘就可以創(chuàng)造我們需要的平靜；根據(jù)下句You can use these skills to create calm in your busy schedule．可知你可以用下面的方法在繁忙的安排中創(chuàng)造平靜．G項(xiàng)：You don't have to find a mountain to sit on，or empty your mind of all thoughts for hours．你不需要坐在山上尋求平靜也不需要花幾個小時整理思緒，連接上下，故選G．
37．D聯(lián)系上下文．根據(jù)上句Simply walking and taking in the view is stress reducing．可知簡單的散步和看風(fēng)景就能減輕壓力，則后面兩句并列講這樣做的作用．D項(xiàng)：It's a time to get stressful thoughts out of your head．是時候讓壓力的想法從你的腦海中消失，符合上下文．故選D．
38．B承上啟下題．根據(jù)上句When we think of nature we think of getting out into the open（野外），and that's great if you can．可知我們一提到自然就會想到去開闊的地方，空白處提出問題：如果在大城市怎么辦？隨后總結(jié)：自然隨處可見．B項(xiàng)連接上下，故選B．
39．F總結(jié)歸納題．本段主要講用聽音樂來使自己平靜．F項(xiàng)講音樂的作用，故選F．
40．C聯(lián)系上下文．本段講通過某些活動使自己平靜．上句提到瑜伽和太極活動，C項(xiàng)They are perfect for active calming．這兩種是保持平靜的很好的活動，與上句緊密聯(lián)系，故選C．

點(diǎn)評 完成七選五閱讀時，我們可以從關(guān)聯(lián)詞上查找答案．由于英語的句段之間經(jīng)常會運(yùn)用關(guān)聯(lián)詞表示銜接和過渡，使文章邏輯更清楚和連貫，因此文章中和選項(xiàng)中表示各種邏輯關(guān)系的路標(biāo)性信號詞在選擇答案時都是很重要的線索．在做題時可將這三個層面的線索很好地結(jié)合起來．
