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."

选项
A、pattern
B、time
C、space
D、information
答案
D
解析
词汇题(词义选择)。本空格之前的processing因在句中做主语,所以是动名词形式,同时process又是及物动词,所以我们推断空格中可能需要名词。process意为“处理,加工”,四个选项中只有D项information“信息”可以被加工,符合题意,为本题答案。A项pattern意为“方式,模式”,不符合题意;B项time意为“时间”,时间不能被加工,同时时间也不能与空格之后的slow down“减速,变慢”搭配,不符合题意;C项space“空间”不符合题意。此句大意为:年复一年,大脑处理信息的过程慢了下来。
