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] 【C4】
选项
答案 B
解析 空格位于不定冠词之后，应填入名词。空格后出现了negative pastimes“消极的消遣方式”，而空格所在从句中的引导词which代指的是上一句话，即“治疗师可能鼓励病人安排每天都和孙儿一起去公园散散步”，是一种积极的消遣方式，由此可知，前后是两种完全不同的选择，故填入B)alternative，它可以搭配介词to，表示“可供选择的事物”。A)access“进入权，使用权”虽然也能和介词to搭配使用，但放在这里意思就变成了“接触更消极的消遣方式”，不符合语境，故排除。
