A．differ B．shrink C．fail D．decline
答案 D
解析句意为：据科学家称，我们的脑力在22岁达到最高水平之后便从27岁开始衰退。
decline衰退，下降，变弱，符合句意。differ不同；shrink缩水；fail失败，衰竭。

2．Planning so far ahead ________ no sense—so many things will have changed by next year.
(2011·新课标全国，23) A．made B．is making C．makes D．has made
答案 C
解析句意为：这么早就作计划是没有意义的——到了明年，有许多情况会发生变化。
此处说明现在的事实，故用一般现在时。部分考生由于受so far的影响会误选D，其实这儿的so far不是表示“到目前为止”的那个短语so far，此处so是用来修饰短语far ahead的，far ahead很早，so far ahead如此早。B项is making为现在进行时，不合题意，可排除；根据时态一致原则，A项made也可排除。

答案 D
解析句子的主语是film，它和compare之间是被动关系，所以要用被动形式。因此只能选D项。when compared to...相当于when引导的状语从句的省略，补全后为：when it is compared to...。句意为：电影的历史短得多，尤其是它与诸如音乐、绘画等艺术形式相比较时。

A．how B．whether C．what D．why
答案 B
解析句意为：在这家商店里，无论你用现金支付还是用信用卡支付都无关紧要。由It doesn’t matter可知后面的意思应该是“无论(不管)……还是……”，又根据题干中的关键词or就很容易确定选B项，构成固定搭配whether...or...。how如何；what什么；
why为什么，均不符合题意。
