文章介绍了科学家发明了一种叫做Sans Forgetica的字体，这是第一种帮助人们记住事物的字体，介绍了科学实验的结果以及如果学生使用这个字体有什么不好。

【1】句意：关于这个对读者不友好的字体的价值是什么？

根据句意理解及后句In fact, Sans Forgetica is the first font which is ___2___ to help people remember things.可知，这里表达的是“价值”，英语是value，故选C。

根据句意理解及句中Scientists have tested Sans Forgetica on 4,400 students可知，这里表达的是“在线实验”，英语中“实验”是experiment，是一个可数名词，这里指的是不止一个实验，所以应该用复数形式，故选A。

【4】句意：他们最终会忽略关键点。

根据句意理解及前句If students read everything in this font, their brains will get too comfortable again.可知，这里表达的是“最终”，英语是finally，是一个副词，在句中修饰动词ignore，故选E。
