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.

【C2】
选项 A、improves
B、fades
C、recovers
D、collapses
答案B
解析 考查动词辨析。本句意为“随着大脑功能______，我们常常把这些经历叫作‘老年失忆症’”，由此可知文中说的是大脑功能的“退化”，所以B．fades“衰退，减退”符合文意，为正确答案。A．improves“提高”和C．recovers“恢复”是反向干扰，可轻易排除；D．collapses“崩溃”语气过重，也不符合文意。
