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】________.

选项 A、wellbeing
B、environment
C、relationship
D、outlook

答案A

解析 考查名词辨析。空格所在句意为“这种精神能量的缺失会给我们的职业、社交还有个人________带来有害的影响”。应填入与professional,social和personal三个形容词相搭配的名词,wellbeing“幸福”填入空格处意为“职业的、社交的和个人的幸福状况”,符合语境,故答案选A。记忆力衰退无法影响个人所处的职业和社交环境,故排除B项;C项relationship填入空格处所表述的语义过于言重. 不如wellbeing贴合文意,故排除;记忆力的衰退也不可能影响整个社会的前景,故排除D项outlook“前景,展望”。
