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】______.

选项 A、carry
B、put
C、build
D、take
答案C
解析 选项中的单词不能单独理解，需要与空格后的介词on构成词组后，才能确定各自所表达的意思。由第三段可知，Web—based program设计的目的就是为了帮助人们改善和恢复其脑力的敏锐度，本句中又提到了一个目的，那就是为了——on the strengths you are developing(形成中的力量)，build on表示“添加”，可以表达出这些游戏的作用是不断添加已有的力量，故答案为[C]。
