阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever wondered why it feels so satisfying to sing in the shower? You are alone. You are warm. The air is moist, making your throat (喉咙) feel wet. 36________ You're at once relaxed and pleasantly energized by the water. Little can take you away from the simple tasks at hand. You control the speed and pitch. And the bathroom provides wonderful resonance (共鸣).
Now imagine singing while driving. You are sitting, stuck by a tight seat belt that limits airflow. Without any warm - up, you probably start right in with the first song you hear. The air is drier. And to stay awake, you may be drinking coffee, which can make you thirsty. 37________ While singing along to the radio, your voice may get lost in the noise of the song and the car.
From my personal experience, I realize the importance of not only focusing but also setting the right conditions during practice. 38________ This is why some argue against baseball players practising hitting before a game. They try hitting different types of throws, even slower ones that they wouldn't see in a real game.
39________ To warm up, I practise deep breathing exercises and relax my tongue with “blah blah blah”. Brightening my face helps make my sound more energetic. My voice becomes richer and stronger when I practise opening up my mouth by yawning, imagining the back of my mouth expanding like a frog's. I also adjust the way I stand. 40________
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. You are standing up straight.
C. You are loudly clearing your throat.
D. Poor training may lead to poor results.
E. The stress of driving and staying safe keeps you tense.
F. After all, an upright guitar wouldn't sound right if it was bent.
G. I always try to recreate the great feeling of singing in the shower wherever I am.

答案： 36.B 空前提到洗澡时唱歌感觉令人满意的原因，例如独处、温暖、湿润的空气等。空后描述你在洗澡时既放松又因为水而充满活力，沉浸在手头的简单任务中。B项“你正挺直身子站立”作为段中句，提及了站立姿势，这与洗澡时放松的状态形成呼应，暗示了正确的姿势可能是唱歌时感觉良好的一个因素，符合语境。 37.E 空前提到在开车时唱歌的不舒适，如安全带限制了气流、没有热身、空气较干、你被咖啡弄得口渴等，而空后提到你随着收音机唱歌，你的声音可能会消失在歌曲和车辆噪声中，因此空处应与开车唱歌感觉不舒适有关，故选E项“驾驶和保持安全的压力使你感到紧张”。 38.D 空前讲到作者认识到专注以及在练习时设置正确条件的重要性。空后举例一些人反对棒球运动员在比赛前练习击球的原因，D项“质量低的训练可能导致糟糕的结果”总结了练习的质量对结果的重要性，与空前空后的内容形成逻辑上的衔接。 39.G 本空位于段首，应是这一段的主旨句。空后提到为了热身，作者练习深呼吸和放松舌头，并通过打哈欠来张大嘴巴。G项“I always try to recreate the great feeling of singing in the shower wherever I am”作为段首句，表达了作者想要在任何练习环境中重现洗澡时唱歌的愉快感觉，能够引出下文对具体热身练习的描述。 40.F 上文讲述了作者在练习唱歌前会调整站姿，体现了正确练习姿势的重要性。F项“毕竟，如果一把竖直的吉他弯曲了，它的声音就不会正确”以吉他为例，说明了保持正确姿势对声音效果的重要性，与上文作者调整练习姿势的内容呼应。
