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.

选项 A、uneven
B、limited
C、damaging
D、obscure
答案C
解析 考查形容词辨析。本句意为“注意力的衰退会对我们的职业、社会和个人的______产生______影响”，而本文从一开始就在说随年龄增长大脑衰退的弊端，所以这里一定是不好的影响，故C．damaging“有破坏性的，有害的”符合题意，为正确答案。A．uneven“不平衡的”，B．limited“有限的”，D．obscure“模糊的”均不符合题意。
