The movement began from Fredrich Ludwig Jahn who (47)______ exercise and sport with German history and tradition and saw a connection between mental and physical health. Charle Pollen, a Jahn student, who opposed to loose exercise, stressed (48)______ mental and physical exercise. In the mid-west, the Germans established their first gymnastic institution called the Turnverein in Cincinnati in 1848. Later called the Turners, these groups developed (49)______ organized outings of picnics, games, gymnastics, and celebrations of German culture.
Catherine Beecher promoted physical fitness for women, and felt that tight clothes not only made such exercise impossible, but actually (50)______ the natural form of women’s bodies, and could even be passed on to future generations and (51)______ the race. She was also an advocate of improving (52)______ and an early opponent of gluttony(暴食), believing ingredient in food stimulated the (53)______ towards excess. Others advocated vegetarianism(素食主义), or saw lack of sunshine as a cause of stomach discomfort. They have particular (54)______ regardless, but all of the food reformers had a common philosophy: bad eating habits led to social disorder. Like physical fitness supporters, they saw a connection between reshaping the body and reshaping American society to improve the individual and the country.

选项
答案
B
解析
通过上题的分析可知,本段强调的是健身运动的复兴,所以此处应填具有积极意义的形容词修饰bodies。Muscular Christianity中的Muscular意为“肌肉的,强健的”,所填词应与其形成近义共现。sound作形容词时可意为“健全的,健康的”,因此B. sound为答案。F. marvelous“非凡的,最佳的”不能修饰bodies表示健康状况,因此排除F。
