Paragraph 2

The purpose and meaning of the sand paintings can be explained by examining one of the most basic ideals of Navajo society,embodied in their word hozho(beauty or harmony,goodness,and happiness).It coexists with hochxo("ugliness,"or"evil,"and"disorder")in a world where opposing forces of dynamism and stability create constant change.When the world,which was created in beauty,becomes ugly and disorderly,the Navajo gather to perform rituals with songs and make sand paintings to restore beauty and harmony to the world.Some illness is itself regarded as a type of disharmony.Thus,the restoration of harmony through a ceremony can be part of a curing process.

5.It can be inferred from the discussion of illness and curing in paragraph 2 that

A.the Navajo consider illness to always have a supernatural cause

B.rituals involving songs and sand paintings may be used to treat an illness

C.when a Navajo is ill,ugly and disorderly sand paintings are made

D.after a serious illness,a Navajo will take part in a ceremony

答案：B

如何提高阅读速度？

1、先阅读文章的首段前4行，注意这里不是前2行，因为现在很多文章首句通常是由专业名词组成或者是一些习语组成，首先读完前4行来了解文章主题方向。

2、直接做题，然后在题中找关键词回到原文进行点查。，其他的很多试题都是标记了行号或者可以通过特殊字符来辨认，当一道题没有这些标示的时候要通过邻近的其他试题来定位本题在原文中的位置。这样就可以在较大程度上节省托福阅读时间。
