问题 If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercises — and as a result, we are aging unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why【C1】______healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to he losing their ability to【C2】______and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of【C3】______could be slowed down.
With a team of【C4】______at Tokyo National University, he set【C5】______measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and【C6】______occupations.
Computer technology【C7】______the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the【C8】______of the front and side sections of the brain,【C9】______relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character.(The【C10】______section of the brain, which controls【C11】______like eating and breathing, does not【C12】______with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional【C13】______.)
Contraction of front and side parts — as cells die【C14】______— was observed in some【C15】______in their thirties, but it was still not【C16】______in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa【C17】______from his tests that there is a simple【C18】______to the contraction normally【C19】______with age —【C20】______the head.
【C1】

选项 A、otherwise
B、clockwise
C、likewise
D、anywise

答案A

解析这是一个比较有难度的题目，涉及比较严密的推理过程。由文章第一段可知，大脑不勤用，人就老化快。在此认知基础上，结合该文第二段，我们可以反推：人不健康，早早地就会丧失思维推理的能力。因此要补全的空缺后面有一个单词healthy，它是“健康的”之意思，因此我们知道，要补全的空缺必须是一个能够否定healthy的单词，这样才能得到“不健康的”这个意思，所以显而易见要选择A，即otherwise(“否则，本来应该是”之意思)。
