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【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. It【B6】______out that the brain needs exercise in much the same way our muscles do, and the right mental【B7】______can significantly improve our basic cognitive【B8】______. Thinking is essentially a【B9】______of making connections in the brain. To a certain extent, our ability to【B10】______in making the connections that drive intelligence is inherited.【B11】______, because these connections are made through effort and practice, scientists believe that intelligence can expand and fluctuate【B12】______mental effort.
    Now, a new Web-based company has taken it a step【B13】______and developed the first "brain training program" designed to actually help people improve and regain their mental【B14】______.
    The Web-based program【B15】______you to systematically improve your memory and attention skills.

Most importantly, it【B18】______modifies and enhances the games you play to【B19】______on the strengths you are developing—much like a (n)【B20】______exercise routine requires you to increase resistance and vary your muscle use.
【B2】
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。
