A. Oh, that's a bit cynical, isn't it? B. Sounds like a waste of time to me. C. Well, not necessarily. Catherine: I've just come back from one of those weekend breaks. It was great fun. Robert: Have you? Where did you go? Catherine: I went on a tai chi chuan course. Robert: A what? Catherine: A course in tai chi, you know. It is a Chinese physical exercise designed for bodily well-being and also as an art of self-defense. Robert: 【D4】______Why should you want to do that, to defend yourself from an attack? Catherine: I don't really need to, but it's a good experience, and you can't spend your whole life working. You know what he say, Robert, " All work and no play. " You really should get out and do something like that. Robert: No, I've got far too much to do. Anyway, as far as I can see, there's no point in learning something like that if you can't earn some money from it. Catherine: 【D5】______ Robert: Maybe, but I couldn't see myself earning a living by doing anything like that. Anyway, you need to be a bit athletic, surely? Catherine: 【D6】______On most of these courses you don't have to have any past experience—not really. I mean, well, on this one, as long as you can get up early...

单选题16.【D4】
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】 这段对话是朋友之间在讨论有没有必要通过上课来学习太极拳。首先，应该明确三个答案选项的语法功能和语义。A选项是反义疑问句，意思是：这有点愤世嫉俗了，不是吗?B选项是短回答，意思是：这对我来说就是浪费时间。C选项是短回答，意思是：不一定。 其次，认真阅读对话，特别是仔细体会空白处的上下文的语义。第4题前面Catherine介绍了她参加的太极拳课的内容和目标It is a Chinese physical exercise designed for bodily well-being and also as an art of self-defense(它是中国的一种运动方式，有助于身体健康，同时也是一种自卫术)，以及它后面Robert提出的问题Why should you want to do that，to defend yourself from an attack?(你为什么要学这个，为了自卫吗?)可以看出Robert并不理解也不赞同Catherine的做法，所以本题的正确答案应该是B。根据第5题前面Robert所说的Anyway，as far as I can see，there's no point in learning something like that if you can't earn some money from it(不管怎样，就我而言，如果你不能靠它挣钱的话，学习这个是毫无意义的)，Catherine的反应应该是A选项所表达的。第6题正确答案应该是C，是对前面问题Anyway，you need to be a bit athletic，surely?(不管怎样，你需要身体强壮一些，对吗?)的回答。
