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] 【C8】
选项
答案 J
解析 as当连词使用时可引导非限制性定语从句，代指前面或后面的一整句话，这种从句中通常会把it和系动词省略，而直接写成“as+过去分词”的形式。空格后面出现了团队的研究发现，由此可知这里的as代指的是他们发现的内容，故填入revealed，这句话的完整版本是“As it was revealed in a paper published in the Lancet…”，意为“正如发表在《柳叶刀》上的一篇论文显示的那样……”。
