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.

Most importantly, it【C18】________modifies and enhances the games you play to【C19】________on the strengths you are developing—much like a(n)【C20】________exercise routine requires you to increase resistance and vary your muscle use.
【C13】
选项 A、back
B、aside
C、further
D、around
答案C
解析 考查固定搭配。空格前的it指代上一段末句中科学家所认为的intelligence can expand and fluctuate according to mental effort。空格后的连词and表并列，根据其后提及的“该网络公司开发了第一个大脑训练课程”可知，该公司已经把理论应用到实践中，即根据理论采取了 “进一步”的行动，故答案选C。take a step为固定搭配，意为“采取措施”。A项back“后退”；B项aside“在旁边”；D项around“周围”与take a step搭配均不符合语境，故排除。
