20.C试题分析：本文是一篇广告类文章。主要介绍了几种方法来让你的大脑保持敏捷灵活。16.F考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前一句的意思是：每个人都很健忘，但是随着我们慢慢变老，我们开始感觉大脑好像很迟缓了，并且这样的情况很让人心烦？空后一句的意思是：看看下面这些值得一时的建议吧。所以选F，这里这是一个过渡句，承上启下（幸运的是，研究表明你可以做很多事来预防这样的时刻。）承上启下，与前后一致17.A考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据本段的叙述我们可以看出，这里是在说有目标，向未来看的人对于预防老年痴呆是很有好处的。再结合本段的最后一句话“Inotherwords,keepyourbrainlookingforward”可知，这里是在建议我们向前看。所以选择答案A，聚焦未来，与文意相符。18.E考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前提到研究表明有计划可以降低一般得老年痴呆症的几率，空后提到：一些类似于和朋友约每周喝咖啡真养的小事儿就可以。所以选E项（如果你的计划里没有改变生活的事情也别担心。）与后文的叙述一致。19.G考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前提到，身体锻炼能够产生对大脑好的化学物质。所以选G（换句话说，当你照顾身体的时候，你就是在照顾你的大脑。）前后意思一致。20.C考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据本段的中心内容，和空前提到：对于大脑最好的就是你学一些新的东西并且同时身体保持活跃。空后提到：和朋友学习园艺。可知，选C（可以是想跳舞这样的事情。）与前后文意思一致。三、阅读理解19.Aseriousproblemfortoday’ssocietyiswhoshouldberesponsibleforourelderlyandhowtoimprovetheirlives.Itisnotonlyafinancialproblembutalsoaquestionofthesystemwewantforoursociety.Iwouldliketosuggestseveralpossiblesolutionstothisproblem.First,employersshouldtaketheresponsibilityfortheirretiredemployees.Tomakethispossible,apercentageofprofitsshouldbesetasideforthispurpose.Butwhenacompanymusttakelife-longresponsibilityforitsemployees,itmaysufferfromacommercialdisadvantageduetohigheremployeecosts.Anotherwayofsolvingtheproblemistoreturntheresponsibilitytotheindividual.Thismeanseachpersonmustsaveduringhisworkingyearstopayforhisyearsofretirement.Thisdoesnotseemaveryfairmodelsincesomepeoplehaveenoughtroublepayingfortheirdailylifewithouttryingtoearnextratocovertheirretirementyears.Thismeansthegovernmentmighthavetostepintocareforthepoor.Inaddition,thegovernmentcouldtakeresponsibilityforthecareoftheelderly.Thiscouldbefinancedthroughgovernmenttaxestoincreasethelevelofpensions.Furthermore,someinstitutionsshouldbecreatedforseniorcitizens,whichcanhelpprovideacomfortablelifeforthem.Unfortunately,asthepresentsituationinourcountryshows,thisisnotatrulyviableanswer.Thegovernmentcanseldomaffordtocarefortheelderly,particularlywhenitisbusytryingtocarefortheyoung.Onefurthersolutionisthatthegovernmentorsocialorganizationsestablishsomeworkingplacesespeciallyfortheelderlywheretheyareindependent.Tosumup,alltheseoptionshaveadvantagesanddisadvantages.Therefore,itisreasonabletoexpectthatsomecombinationoftheseoptionsmaybeneededtoprovidethecarewehopetogivetoourelderlygenerations.24.Whatisthewriter’smainpurposeinwritingthisarticle?A.Todiscusssomepossiblesolutionstoanimportantsocialproblem.B.Tomakegeneralreadersawareoftheproblemsofretiredpeople.C.Topoint
