解析
【分析】首先通读全文,明确本文主题是阐述音乐帮助锻炼的原因,属于说明文类七选五。解题时需结合每个空白处的上下文逻辑(总起、递进、举例、结果、引出解释等),匹配选项语义:第1空需承接前文的问题,引出原因;第2空承接前文音乐缓解疲惫的结果;第3空呼应本段“音乐让人开心”的主题;第4空对应实验的反馈结果;第5空引出后文Fritz的解释内容。
【解析】1. 第1空:前文提出“为什么音乐帮助锻炼”的问题,后文说明“第一个原因”,需总起说明原因数量,故选E(专家称有两个主要原因),衔接上下文。2. 第2空:前文提到听音乐时不会立刻感到锻炼后的疲惫,B选项(我们能锻炼更久一点)承接上文,说明音乐带来的实际效果,符合逻辑。3. 第3空:本段主题为“音乐也能让我们开心”,前文举例舞曲让人跟随节奏,D选项(欢快的歌让我们更开心)呼应主题,说明音乐的情绪影响,衔接自然。4. 第4空:前文介绍实验中多数人的反馈,F选项(他们锻炼时觉得更不累)是实验的核心结果,符合语境。5. 第5空:后文是Fritz对实验结果的解释,A选项(Fritz如何解释这一点)引出下文的解释内容,逻辑通顺。
【答案】1~5. EBDFA
