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] 【C7】
选项
答案 C
解析 空格位于代词They之后，且这句话缺少谓语，故应填入动词。因为研究已经完成了，故进一步明确应填入动词的过去式，且该动词可以和介词to搭配使用，符合这些要求的只有C)assigned，assign sb．to sth．表示“把某人分配到某个任务或岗位”，放在这里符合句意，意为“将440名抑郁症患者分配到为期16周的两种治疗方法中”。E)involved一般和介词in搭配使用，故排除。
