Many experts are so【C6】______of the benefits of challenging the brain【C7】______they are putting the theory to【C8】______in their own lives. "The idea is not【C9】______to learn to memorize enormous amounts of information," says James Fozard, associate director of an institute【C10】______aging. "Most of us don’t need that kind of skill. Such【C11】______training is of less interest than being able to【C12】______mental alertness. " Fozard and others say they【C13】______their brains with different mental skills, both because they enjoy them and because they are sure that their range of activities will help the way their brains work.

选项
A、maintain
B、sustain
C、retain
D、obtain
答案
A
解析
语义衔接题。[A]maintain、[B]sustain、[C]retain都有“保持”的意思,但侧重点不同。maintain常用来指维持已有的水平、标准;sustain常用来指支持、维持生命;retain常用来指保留某物。[D]obtain“获得”。结合语境,此处是说保持头脑的机敏,备选项中只有[A]符合语境,故答案为[A]。下文提到的maintain their intellectual abilities对本题有提示作用。
