【解析】
本文为应用文。多项研究表明咖啡对人的健康有影响,关键在于咖啡的质量和其冲泡方式。新的研究表明喝咖啡有许多优点,可增进人际关系,也许对我们的大脑有积极的影响。喝咖啡对健康虽有积极的影响,但一些观点还需继续证实。
【1】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。上句讲咖啡是世界上最普遍的饮料之一。下句讲有许多种风味的咖啡。分析选项,可知A项(有许多不同种类的咖啡),连接上下文的内容,故选A。
【2】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。下句讲医生们告诉人们不要喝太多咖啡,它会引起心脏病、高血压、失眠和头痛。分析选项F项符合题意。结合上下文可知,喝咖啡有可能对身体健康有影响,(但专家们没有明确咖啡对人到底多么健康),与下句连接,起承上启下的作用,故选F。
【3】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。上句讲咖啡的质量和冲泡方式和健康有关,C项讲了希腊的老年人比平均年龄要长,用实例补充说明上句,故选C。
【4】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。上句讲另一项新研究说咖啡和健康无关。新的研究表明,咖啡有很多好处。其中在一起喝咖啡也促进人际关系。分析选项可知G项(在一起喝咖啡也会对人际关系有积极的影响),也是喝咖啡的好处。故选G。
【5】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。上句讲了尽管关于咖啡仍然有许多需要去发现,但它似乎可以降低患癌症和糖尿病的风险。报告显示喝咖啡的人可能在晚年才会得帕金森氏综合征或者也许根本不会得。由此可推断出咖啡也许对我们的大脑有积极的影响.所以分析选D项:医生认为咖啡也许对我们的大脑有积极的影响.与上句顺承,故选D。
