问题 If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercises — and as a result, we are aging unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why【C1】______healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to he losing their ability to【C2】______and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of【C3】______could be slowed down.
With a team of【C4】______at Tokyo National University, he set【C5】______measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and【C6】______occupations.
Computer technology【C7】______the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the【C8】______of the front and side sections of the brain,【C9】______relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character.(The【C10】______section of the brain, which controls【C11】______like eating and breathing, does not【C12】______with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional【C13】______.)
Contraction of front and side parts — as cells die【C14】______— was observed in some【C15】______in their thirties, but it was still not【C16】______in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa【C17】______from his tests that there is a simple【C18】______to the contraction normally【C19】______with age —【C20】______the head.
【C5】

选项 A、up
B、to
C、out
D、about

答案D

解析这是一个词组意思区别题目。set about表示“开始，着手”，后面接动名词，符合题意。应选D。set out表示“出发、动身”，当它作“打算、试图”意思时，一般接动词不定式，即说成“set out to do sth．”。set up表示“竖立，升高”。set to的意思是“开始起劲地干，开始狼吞虎咽地吃”，是一个副词性短语，不修饰其他词语，比如说“We all set to and got the place cleaned up in no time”。
