[解析]
(1)B.推理判断题。根据第三段中的Since completing my undergraduate degree I have been increasingly immobilized by my working life.Sitting still at a desk,staring at a screen,it's mostly through my fingers that I connect to my brain.(自从我完成了我的本科学位,我的工作生活越来越僵化。静静地坐在桌子前,盯着屏幕,我的大脑大多是通过手指连接的。)可知,手指是作者工作中使用最多的身体部位,所以他的手指应该是灵活的。故选B。
(2)D.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Over time I realized he wanted more than just routine answers.Having shown me how to do an exercise,Rob would encourage me to think about the muscle or chain of muscles as they moved.The questions were a test of that connection.(随着时间的推移,我意识到他想要的不仅仅是常规的答案。在教我如何做运动后,罗布会鼓励我在肌肉或肌肉链运动时思考它们。这些问题就是对这种联系的测试。)可知,Rob要求作者描述她的感受是要帮助她感觉到自己肌肉的运动,知道它们如何工作的。故选D。
(3)A.词句猜测题。根据第六段倒数第二句He is always close by,watching and posing questions.(他总是在附近,观察和提出问题。)和划线词下一句Over time I realized he wanted more than just routine answers.(随着时间的推移,我意识到他想要的不仅仅是常规的答案。)并结合划线词所在句子Early on I took these as rote pleasantries.(起初,我把这些当作......。)可知,我起初只是认为教练的话是在闲聊,结合选项A.Small talk.闲聊;B.White lie.善意的谎言;C.Harsh criticism.严厉批评;D.Patient explanation.耐心解释。故选A。
(4)C.标题归纳题。通读全文并结合倒数第二段Having shown me how to do an exercise,Rob would encourage me to think about the muscle or chain of muscles as they moved.The questions were a test of that connection.(在教我如何做运动后,罗布会鼓励我在肌肉或肌肉链运动时思考它们。这些问题就是对这种联系的测试。)可知,文章讲述了56岁的作者在跟着教练Rob锻炼的过程,教练常常让他描述自己的感觉,他开始不理解,但后来明白教练想让他感觉到自己肌肉的运动,保持肌肉链的联系,这样的方式让作者喜欢上这项运动并下决心要坚持下去。所以C项"Keeping muscles connected(保持肌肉连接)"是锻炼的方式,也是最佳标题。故选C。
