问题     Mounting evidence shows that behavioral-activation ( BA) therapy is just as effective as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in treating depression. Unlike CBT, BA is an outside-in【C1】________in which therapists focus on modifying actions rather than thoughts. "The idea is that what you do and how you feel are【C2】________," says David Richards, a health services researcher at the University of Exeter. If a patient values nature and family, for example, a therapist might encourage him to【C3】________a daily walk in the park with his grandchildren, which could create a(n)【C4】________to more negative pastimes such as pondering on loss.
    BA has existed for decades, and some of its elements are used in CBT, yet more【C5】________scientific evidence is needed to assess its relative strength as a stand-alone approach. In a recent study, a【C6】________of 18 researchers led by Richards put BA and CBT head-to-head. They【C7】________440 people with depression to about 16 weeks of one of the two approaches, then followed the patients’ progress at 6, 12 and 18 months after treatment began. As 【C8】________in a paper published in the Lancet, the team found the treatments to be equally effective.
    In addition, Richards and his colleagues found that【C9】________health workers could provide BA after a brief training period—making it【C10】________cheaper to implement than CBT, which requires highly specialized therapists. That distinction could make the former a boon to developing countries, where resources for mental health are especially scarce.
A) access                    I) regularly
B) alternative               J) revealed
C) assigned                  K) rigorous
D) collaboration             L) schedule
E) involved                  M) scholarly
F) junior                    N) significantly
G) linked                    O) technique
H) range [br] 【C5】
选项
答案 K
解析 空格位于more之后、名词短语scientific evidence之前，最有可能填入形容词。根据句意“虽然行为激活疗法已经存在了几十年……但我们需要更……的科学证据去评估其作为一种独立方法的相对优势。”修饰“科学证据”，填入K)rigorous“严谨的，严格的”最为合适，故为答案。
