术展上展出了机器人Ai-Da绘制的世界上首幅机器人自画像)可知，文章内主要讲述了伦敦的新艺术展上展出了机器人Ai-Da绘制的世界上首幅机器人自画像，但这位艺术家缺少没有意识的，故C项”艺术展：没有自我的自画像“符合文章标题，故选C项。本文为一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是世界上第一幅由名为Ai-Da的机器人绘制的自画像已在伦敦的一个新艺术展上亮相。一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。二、看题干，带着问题读文章。首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer,imply,suggest,indicate等。四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会”顺藤摸瓜”，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。[解析](1)段落主题题。下文Asthepopulationages,thechallengesforthepreservationofbrainhealthincrease.ltisthereforevitalforseniorstounderstandhowtoprotectit.(随着人口老龄化，保护大脑健康的挑战也在增加。因此，老年人了解如何保护它是至关重要的。)指出保护大脑健康至关重要，推测其原因应该是大脑健康对人们而言很重要。选项F”保持大脑健康是追求健康的首要目标。”指出保持大脑健康是追求健康的首要目的，与下文联系紧密，符合语境。故选F项。(2)联系上文题。上文Multiplestudiesshowthatphysicallyactivepeoplearelesslikelytoexperienceadeclineintheirmentalfunctionandhavealowerriskofdevelopingbraindisease.(多项研究表明，身体活动活跃的人不太可能出现心理功能下降，患脑部疾病的风险也较低。)指出，运动活跃的人患脑部疾病的风险较低。选项E”这些好处来自于血液循环的增加。”则指出这类人患病风险低的原因是血
