问题 Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)　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 　1　 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 　2　 , we refer to these occurrences as “senior moments.” 　3　 seemingly innocent, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a(n) 　4　 impact on our professional, social, and personal 　5　.　Neuroscientists, experts who study the nervous system, are increasingly showing that there’s actually a lot that can be done.

选项 A. persist
B. believe
C. excel
D. feature
答案 C
解析 本题测试考生根据上下文判断词义和词语搭配的能力。persist（in)坚持，执着； believe（in)相信，认为； excel（in)擅长，善于；feature（in)在...中起作用。 空格处于一个不定式结构当中，修饰能力。上文提到思考是大脑进行连接的过程，空格后则表明“推动智力发展的连接是天生的”。从选项语义来看，只有C项excel带入句中指“推动智力发展的（大脑中）善于连接的能力”，符合句子逻辑。feature in后面只能接sth. 作宾语，表示在……中起作用. ，故排除D项；persist in doing sth. “坚持，执着于做某事”是人类的品质，而非能力，因此可排除A项；B项believe（in)也不是一种能力，不足以“推动智力发展”，因此排除。
