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】________.

选项 A、risky
B、effective
C、idle
D、familiar

答案B

解析 考查形容词辨析。空格处的形容词修饰exercise routine,说明这种锻炼的特点。根据后面不定式中提到的关键词increase和vary your muscle use等信息可知,此处应填入一个褒义词,因此排除A项risky“危险的”和C项idle“懒惰的”;而D项familiar“熟悉的”与锻炼的效果不相关,故排除;只有B项effective“有效的”符合语境,故答案选B。
