(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.

选项 A. back
B. further
C. aside
D. around
答案 B
解析 本题测试考生词汇搭配能力。Back后退；向后；further进一步；aside在旁边；around四处，到处。 take a step意为“采取行动”。根据下文该网络公司开发了第一个“大脑训练课程”的情况，再结合上一段科学家提出的研究结论，可以得出该公司已经把理论应用到实际中，可以说是“进一步”，故选B项further。A项back填入后，表示“采取后退的行动”，而此处谈到的是进步；step在此语境中不是具体的“脚步，步伐”的意思，而是和take构成“采取措施”这一抽象的含义，因此不与C项aside搭配（step aside意为“走到一边”)；D项around不与step搭配。
