We suddenly can’t remember【B1】______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【B2】______, we refer to these occurrences as " senior moments. "【B3】______seemingly innocent, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a(n) 【B4】______impact on our professional, social, and personal【B5】______.
    Neuroscientists, experts who study the nervous system, are increasingly showing that there’s actually a lot that can be done.

【B4】
选项 A、uneven
B、limited
C、damaging
D、obscure
答案C
解析 本句中提到了loss of mental focus(精神集中力的丧失)，其对我们有什么样的影响(impact)，结合前文可知，这种影响应该是负面的、不利的。虽然四个选项中的单词都不含褒义，但真正能够表示对我们产生不利影响的只有[C]damaging“破坏性的”，故答案为[C]。
