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] 【C3】
选项
答案 L
解析 空格前出现了encourage和to，由此可知需要填入动词原形构成不定式，作宾语补足语。结合空格后的a daily walk“每天散步”可推测，这里应填入L)schedule“安排，计划”。H)range用作动词时，放在此处虽然也符合语法，但它指的是按照一定位置或顺序给某物进行位置上的排列或排序，放在这里不符合句意，故排除。
