(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.

选项 A. genre
B. functions
C. circumstances
D. criterion
答案 B
解析 本题测试考生根据上下文对词义的判断选择能力。Genre种类；风格；functions功能，作用；circumstances情况；环境；criterion标准。 此处填入cognitive（认知的)修饰的名词，作can significantly improve（可以大幅提高)的宾语，即“正确的大脑锻炼可以提高认知的……”。本题可用排除法，将四个选项—一代入。A项genre代入指“认知的种类”，语义搭配不当，可排除；C项circumstances指的是 客观“情况”或“环境”，而主观的大脑活动不可能改变客观事实更不可能改变认知的标准，故C项和D项也不对； B项functions意为“功能，作用”，符合此处语境，表示适度的脑部锻炼可以明显提高基本认知功能。
