We suddenly can’t remember【B1】______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【B2】______, we refer to these occurrences as " senior moments. "【B3】______seemingly innocent, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a(n) 【B4】______impact on our professional, social, and personal【B5】______.

选项 A、If
B、Unless
C、Once
D、While

答案D

解析 由seemingly innocent“貌似无害”可以体会到作者并不是真地认为经常爱忘事这种表现无害。后半句的内容体现了作者的真实看法,那就是这种精神集中力的丧失会潜在地对职业、社交和个人健康造成破坏性的影响,因此,innocent“无辜的,无害的”与下半句之间存在转折关系,而能够表示转折关系的连词只有while,故答案为[D]。
