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.

答案 D
解析 空格位于冠词和介词之间，应填入名词。后面出现了18 researchers，故推测填入D)collaboration“合作，协作”，表示这项研究是由18名研究人员共同完成的。a range of表示“一系列的”，侧重强调范围广，种类多，不用来修饰人，故排除H)。
