In our thirties, we jokingly call it ‘brain freeze’ In our forties, we laugh it off as a‘senior moment’ and follow up with one of these old age jokes. But the reality is that there es a point when being forgetful stops being funny and starts to seem a bit dreadful. ”在二十多歲的時(shí)候，當(dāng)我們記不起鄰居的貓的名字或是主演一部著名電影的英俊演員時(shí)，我們覺(jué)得很有趣。在三十多歲的時(shí)候，我們開(kāi)玩笑地稱它為“大腦凍結(jié)”，在四十多歲的時(shí)候，我們把它當(dāng)作“老年時(shí)期”來(lái)嘲笑，然后繼續(xù)講這些老年笑話。但現(xiàn)實(shí)是，有這樣的時(shí)候，健忘不再有趣，而且看起來(lái)有點(diǎn)可怕，可推知選A。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“ The fact that you recognize your own forgetfulness may be a very good sign, at least in terms of the possibility of your developing Alzheimer39。s disease（AD） ”承認(rèn)自己的健忘也許是一個(gè)很好的跡象，至少?gòu)哪慊祭夏臧V呆癥,的可能性來(lái)看，可知選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“ It is an objective marker of the sort of reduced brain function that goes along with expected, glucose uptake was reduced in those with AD. ”這是一個(gè)患有老年癡呆癥降低了腦功能的客觀標(biāo)志。正如所料，老年癡呆癥患者的葡萄糖吸收降低，故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷?？v觀全文可知，是一項(xiàng)科學(xué)研究，介紹了如何預(yù)測(cè)你的記憶喪失是否是老年癡呆癥,故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。7．犇犇閱讀理解 Threequarters of the world39。s coffee farms destroy forest habitat to grow coffee in the sun and typically use harmful pesticides (殺蟲(chóng)劑) and chemicals that poison the environment. When forests disappear, migratory (遷徙的) songbirds disappear, too. In order to deal with severe population and habitat loss, Smithsonian scientists created the Bird Friendly certification. Bird Friendly coffees are shadegrown, meaning the coffee is planted under trees, rather than on the land that has been cleared of all other plants. Coffee experts say shadegrown coffees taste better, because the beans ripen slower than coffee grown in the full sun, resulting in a richer, more plex flavor. Bird Friendly certified coffees grow under biodiverse shade that provides habitat for migratory songbirds and other wildlife, stores carbon and fights climate change. Bird Friendly coffees are also certified organic, meaning they are grown without pesticides, which is better for people and for the planet. Bird Friendly producers can also earn more for their crops. The wood and fruit trees on shade coffee farms provide farmers with additional ine. Every cup of Bird Friendly coffee purchased rewards these farmers with a little more money for being good stewards of the environment and encourages them to continue conserving Bird Friendly habitat. Buying Bird Friendly supports the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center39。s conservation research aimed at understanding and protecting your feathered friends. You can purchase Bird Friendly certified coffees around the world and protect wildlife and habitat with every cup. Find a store or cafe near you, or better yet, have it shipped to your door when you order online.（1）What is the present situation of coffee farms?
