解析

试题分析: 随着年龄的增加，人们的大脑思维似乎越来越迟钝。那么如何改变这种状况呢？在本文中作者对此提出了几点建议。一、制定计划、展望未来；二、锻炼身体，锻炼身体就等于对我们的大脑进行锻炼；三、学习新知识和技能。
小题1:F。空前内容讲述的是随着年龄的增加，人们逐渐变的健忘，而下文内容是关于如何避免记忆力的下降，由此可知此处应该是表示内容转折的句子，纵观选项F项内容恰好能够衔接上下文，故答案选F。
小题2:A 。根据本段中People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer’s disease可以判断此条建议是让人们着眼未来，而A选项内容恰好符合语境，选A。
小题3:E。前面提到了一些upcoming events会对人产生影响，而从后句内容 Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do.提到了一些小事，由此判断E选项内容能起到承上启下的作用，故选E。
小题4:G在本段中作者强调锻炼对大脑的好处，
小题5:C。本段的段落小标题是 Learn something new.，由此可知本段内容和学习新技能有关系，而且根据空后的内容Or go dancing with your friends.可以判断此处是作者提出的建议，而C选项内容也是有关新技能的学习，内容适合语境，故答案选C。
