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. 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.
    Now, a new Web-based company has taken it a step【C13】________and developed the first "brain training program" designed to actually help people improve and regain their mental【C14】________.

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.
【C15】
选项 A、forces
B、reminds
C、hurries
D、allows
答案D
解析 考查词汇辨析。空格位于段落首句，承接上一段的内容，是对The web-based program“网络课程”的进一步解释。上一段提到该课程的目的是“切实帮助人们提高并重获大脑清晰度”，结合此空格后提到的“用户系统地提高记忆力和注意力”，推断出所填动词应与help意思相近，即“使能够”或“有利于”提高记忆力和注意力。故答案选D。A项forces“强迫”；B项reminds“提醒”；C项hurries“匆忙”均不符合语境，故排除。
