问题     As many people hit middle age, they often start to notice that their memory and mental clarity are not what they used to be. We suddenly can’t remember【C1】________we put the keys just a moment ago, or an old acquaintance’s name, or the name of an old band we used to love. As the brain【C2】________, we refer to these occurrences as "senior moments".【C3】________seemingly innocent, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a(n)【C4】________impact on our professional, social, and personal【C5】________.
    Neuroscientists, experts who study the nervous system, are increasingly showing that there’s actually a lot that can be done. It【C6】________out that the brain needs exercise in much the same way our muscles do, and the right mental【C7】________can significantly improve our basic cognitive【C8】________Thinking is essentially a【C9】________of making connections in the brain.

【C20】
选项 A、risky
B、effective
C、idle
D、familiar
答案B
解析 考查形容词辨析。空格处的形容词修饰exercise routine，说明这种锻炼的特点。根据后面不定式中提到的关键词increase和vary your muscle use等信息可知，此处应填入一个褒义词，因此排除A项risky“危险的”和C项idle“懒惰的”；而D项familiar“熟悉的”与锻炼的效果不相关，故排除；只有B项effective“有效的”符合语境，故答案选B。
