Advancing age means losing your hair, your waistline and your memory, right? Dana Denis is just 40 years old, but【1】she’s worried about what she calls "my rolling mental blackouts." "I try to remember something and I just blank out," she says.
You may【2】about these lapses, calling them "senior moments" or blaming "early Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症)". Is it an inescapable fact that the older you get, the【3】you remember? Well, sort of. But as time goes by, we tend to blame age【4】problems that are not necessarily age-related.
"When a teenager can’t find her keys, she thinks it’s because she’s distracted or disorganized," says Paul Gold. "A 70-year-old blames her【5】." In fact, the 70-year-old may have been【6】things for decades.
In healthy people, memory doesn’t worsen as【7】as many of us think. "As we【8】, the memory mechanism isn’t【9】." says psychologist Fergus Craik. "It’s just inefficient."
The brain’s processing【10】slows down over the years, though no one knows exactly【11】. Recent research suggests that nerve cells lose efficiency and【12】there’s less activity in the brain. But, cautions Barry Gordon, "It’s not clear that less activity is【13】. A beginning athlete is winded (气喘吁吁)more easily than a【14】athlete. In the same way,【15】the brain gets more skilled at a task, it expends less energy on it."
There are【16】you can take to compensate for normal slippage in your memory gears, though it【17】effort. Margaret Swell says: "We’re a quick-fix culture, but you have to【18】to keep your brain 【19】shape. It’s like having a good body. You can’t go to the gym once a year【20】expect to stay in top form."
【16】
选项
A、stages
B、steps
C、advantages
D、purposes
答案
B
解析
搭配题(动词与名词搭配)。固定搭配take steps to do sth.意为“采取步骤(措施)做某事”。本句大意为:你可以采取几个步骤来补偿你记忆传送装置的正常失误。其他选项不与take动词搭配,故本题答案为B。
