Subjects in the other two groups showed【C15】______or no improvement. "Our study【C16】______provides some of the first【C17】______on the impact of calorie restriction on memory in the elderly, but this study has to be【C18】______up now," Floel noted. Her team plans to【C19】______larger studies to determine exactly【C20】______calorie restriction enhances memory.
【C11】
选项 A、remaining
B、maintaining
C、retaining
D、sustaining
答案A
解析 考查语义逻辑。文章提到科学家将研究对象分为三组，前两组已提及，因而此处为第三组，remaining意为“剩下的”，符合句意。maintain,retain和sustain均为“保持”之义。
