(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 .

选项 A. carry
B. put
C. build
D. take

答案 C

解析 本题测试考生词语搭配能力。carry(on)意为“进行,从事”。put(on)意为“穿衣;增加体重;上演;假装”。build (on)意为“以……为基础继续发展”。take(on)意为“接纳,承担;显现”。空格处要表达的是大脑训练项目调整和增强训练内容的目的。此外,所填动词语义取决于后面的内容“你正在逐渐增强的优势”,这就是一个基础。只有C项符合语义,表示大脑训练项目调整和增强训练内容的目的是“在你逐步增强的优势上进一步强化”。因此选C项。不定式的逻辑主语是主句的it,即the program,而A项carry on sth. 的逻辑主语应该是人,故排除;B项put on和D项take on都不与strengths(优势)搭配。
