【1】联系前后两句描述，“咖啡是世界各地最受欢迎的饮料之一”，“专家认为咖啡的口味品种比酒类要多”，可知此处过渡的是，有各种不同种类的咖啡，故选A。

【2】根据空格后的For a long time doctors have told people not to drink too much coffee, because it may lead to heart problems, high blood pressure, and headaches.（很长一段时间里医生们警告大家喝太多咖啡会导致心脏疾病，高血压和头痛）可推知，这一段讲述咖啡对人身体的健康影响，F项“然而，食品专家仍然没有对咖啡的健康程度下决定。”与本段内容吻合，故选F项。

【3】根据空格前Scientists have now found out that it is the quality of coffee and the way it is made that hold the key to our health.（科学家们发现咖啡的品质和制作方式是带给人类健康的关键），下面要举出实例：希腊的老人要比一般人长寿，除了其他因素，也与喝浓咖啡有关。故选C。

【4】根据空格前的Coffee has many advantages, as the new study suggests. While alcohol makes people sleepy and slow moving, coffee gives them energy.可推断出本段在肯定咖啡对人们的好处。故G项“聚在一起喝杯咖啡对人际关系也有积极的影响。”也属于喝咖啡的积极影响。故选G。

【5】根据空格前it seems to reduce the risk of cancer and diabetes（糖尿病），咖啡可能会减少患癌症和糖尿病的危险，而后面则说“但是报告显示，喝咖啡的人在以后的生活中可能会患上帕金森病，或者根本不可能。”则过渡句填“医生认为咖啡对大脑有好处”切合题意。故选D。
