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.

Most importantly, it【C18】________modifies and enhances the games you play to【C19】________on the strengths you are developing—much like a(n)【C20】________exercise routine requires you to increase resistance and vary your muscle use.
【C11】
选项 A、Therefore
B、Moreover
C、Otherwise
D、However
答案D
解析 考查逻辑衔接。空格前一句强调智力是天生的，而后一句则认为是可以通过脑力活动产生变化的，因此前后句之间为转折关系，故答案选D。A项Therefore“因此”表因果关系，用于引出结果；B项Moreover“而且”表递进关系，C项Otherwise“否则”表条件关系，相当于if not，均不符合语境，故排除。
