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] 【C9】
选项
答案 F
解析 空格位于名词短语health workers之前，应填入形容词。由本段破折号后的内容可知，行为激活疗法比认知行为疗法成本低得多，因为认知行为疗法需要高度专业的治疗师，由此推测行为激活疗法并不需要特别专业的人员。根据空格后面的内容可知，这些医疗工作者还需要接受短期的培训，由此可知他们是资历比较浅的或者没有什么经验的，符合此意思的只有F)junior，表示“(地位、职位、级别)较低的”。
