(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. risky
B. effective
C. idle
D. familiar

答案 B

解析 本文测试考生根据上下文判断词义的能力。Risky危险的,有风险的。Effective有效的。Idle懒散的;漫无目的的。Familiar熟悉的。空格处填入的形容词,修饰exercise routine。本句将大脑训练项目比作日常的身体锻炼。两者都会根据你的情况调整锻炼内容或难度,它们产生的效果应该是相同的,而上文又指出该课程可以有效提高记忆力,故此处的锻炼效果也应该是正面的,故选B项effective“有效的”。因为修饰exercise routine的形容词应是褒义的,排除A项 risky“危险的,有风险的”和C项idle“懒惰的;漫无目的的”;D项familiar“熟悉的”与锻炼的效果不相关,不符合语义逻辑,故排除。
