【分析】
本题为英语选词填空题，解题思路如下：1. 通读每个句子，理解句子大意；2. 分析空格处的语法成分，确定所需词性（如介词后接动名词、情态动词后接动词原形、主语为第三人称单数时动词用三单形式等）；3. 结合方框内的单词/短语，筛选出符合语境的选项，并根据语法规则调整单词形式；4. 确保每个单词/短语仅使用一次，最后验证答案是否符合句意和语法。
【解析】
1. 句中of为介词，介词后需接动名词作宾语，方框中retell是动词，其动名词形式为retelling，结合句意“复述的行为有助于将信息锁定在记忆中”，故填retelling。
2. 句中情态动词may后需接动词原形，方框中run out of是短语，意为“耗尽”，符合“学习太久大脑会耗尽能量”的语境，故填run out of。
3. 句中better为形容词，后需接名词，方框中position是名词，in a better position是固定搭配，意为“处于更好的状态”，符合句意，故填position。
4. 句中情态动词cannot后需接动词原形，方框中memorize是动词，意为“记住”，符合“大脑不能一次记住太多信息”的语境，故填memorize。
5. 句中主语your brain是第三人称单数，句子为一般现在时，动词需用第三人称单数形式，方框中react的第三人称单数形式为reacts，符合“大脑对新信息的反应影响记忆效果”的语境，故填reacts。
