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. To a certain extent, our ability to【C10】______in making the connections that drive intelligence is inherited.【C11】______, because these connections are made through effort and practice, scientists believe that intelligence can expand and fluctuate【C12】______mental effort.

选项 A、improves
B、fades
C、recovers
D、collapses

答案B

解析 考查动词辨析。本句意为“随着大脑功能______,我们常常把这些经历叫作‘瞬间性老年失忆症’”,由此可知文中说的是大脑功能的“退化”,所以B.fades“衰退,减退”符合文意,为正确答案。A.improves“提高”和C.recovers“恢复”是反向干扰,可轻易排除;D.collapses“崩溃”语气过重,也不符合文意。
