Ⅲ. 阅读理解(每小题2分,共16分)
A
(2024·南通中考)Linda is looking through the website $http: / / www. keeping fit. com$. Here is what she reads.
Researchers have found the health benefits of dancing for people in poor health, from improving brain health to creating community.
Becky is teaching a group of 80 adults some dancing skills. Many of her students are seated in the dancing room because they have difficulty in moving. When they are following Becky's pretty movements, a sense of peace comes over them.
Dance as a medicine
Helen, a researcher, says that dance requires different parts of the brain to work at the same time. That is to say, dance requires more "brain power" than simpler repetitive(重复的) exercises.
She invited two groups of adults to take part in programmes for over six months. One group practised dancing and the other did traditional exercise like cycling. Both groups improved their level of physical fitness, but the group of dancers improved more cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention and high-level thinking.
Dance, described by Helen as "a pleasure
英语九上(江苏版)
double-play", can lift the mood and reduce stress.
Dance as body acceptance
Besides the physical and mental benefits, dance can also help people with diseases accept what their bodies can and can't do.
Jenny is Becky's student. Her body went numb when she was in her mid-twenties. She had no feelings from the knees down. She suffered from serious muscle tightness and balance problems, making standing and walking difficult for her.
Jenny recently joined an online dance programme. Not only has it improved her coordination(协调性), but it has enabled her to overcome her fear of being judged for how she moves, both in the dance class and out in the world.
"I see so many people moving like me," she says, "I don't have to be perfect in my dancing or make sure my leg lifts this way—it makes me comfortable with where I am right now."
Dance as community
Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of dance is the sense of community it creates. Dancing with others not only makes people feel less different in their moving abilities, but also helps to fight against loneliness and problems in getting along with others.
Becky started teaching more than 22 years ago, and she has helped 300 communities in 28 countries around the world. In some countries, such as India and South Korea, people have put their own cultural dance styles into their classes.
Becky wants to create a sense of family and community for this group of people. Whenever and wherever she teaches, she hopes to make

【分析】
拿到这篇阅读理解，首先先通读全文抓住核心主题：文章围绕跳舞给健康状况不佳的人群带来的多维度益处展开，分三个板块分别介绍了跳舞对大脑认知、自我接纳、社群归属感的正向作用。接下来逐题对应考点思考：
1. 第一题判断文章出处，只需要匹配全文核心主题和网站不同板块的定位即可，排除和健康无关的板块；
2. 第二题限定了答题范围是“Dance as a medicine”部分，回到指定段落逐一比对选项和原文表述，排除偷换概念、无中生有的错误选项；
3. 第三题猜测划线句含义，要结合划线句前后Jenny的患病经历、参加舞蹈项目后的心态变化推导，不要脱离上下文单独解读句子；
4. 第四题选最佳标题，要选择能覆盖全文所有分论点的选项，排除只描述单一局部益处、表述片面的干扰项。
【解析】
1. 文章出处题：全文核心介绍跳舞对健康的各类正向作用，主题和健康领域强相关，文化、时尚、文学板块都不符合文章定位，因此选C。
2. 细节理解题：定位到指定板块，原文明确说明舞蹈比简单的重复性运动需要更多“脑力”，参与跳舞的实验组相比做传统运动的组别，认知能力提升更明显，对应A选项表述正确；B选项“传统运动需要更多注意力”原文无相关表述，属于无中生有；C选项跳舞提升高阶思维、改善情绪是两个独立的益处，不存在因果关联，表述错误；D选项表述和原文“舞蹈比简单重复性运动需要更多脑力”完全相反，因此选A。
3. 句意猜测题：结合上下文可知Jenny二十多岁时就下肢失去知觉，存在严重的运动障碍，参加舞蹈项目后她不再害怕因为动作特殊被他人评判，不需要强求舞蹈动作完美，完全接纳了当下自己的身体状态，A选项“Jenny因为跳舞差难过”、B选项“Jenny想要跳舞变完美”、D选项“Jenny想要治疗腿部”都和原文表述不符，因此选C。
4. 标题归纳题：文章从提升认知改善情绪、帮助接纳身体状态、构建社群减少孤独三个维度，介绍了跳舞从身心、社交层面全方位帮助人变得更好；A选项“跳舞能治愈疾病”表述过于绝对，C选项只提到改善情绪、D选项只提到减少孤独，都属于片面的局部内容，无法覆盖全文，只有B选项“跳舞有助于提升自我”可以完整概括全文核心，因此选B。
