    The review evaluates【C3】________studies on nature’s effects on the mental health of college students to find an effective "nature prescription" for students. "It doesn’t take much time for the positive benefits to kick in—we’re talking 10 minutes outside in a space with nature," says lead author Gen Meredith.

选项

答案H

解析 动词辨析题。空格前是介词at,空格后是名词词组these measures,因此本空应填入动词的-ing形式,与these measures共同构成at的宾语。空格所在句意思是。对这些研究的综述表明,在大自然中静坐或步行10—50分钟是________这些指标的最有效方法。由本文第一段可知。在大自然中待上10分钟即可缓解压力,而these measures指的是前一句提到的衡量学生压力的指标。由此可知,在大自然中静坐或步行可以改善这些指标。因此本空应填入含有“改善”意义的动词,故本题答案为H)improving。在备选动词中,L)revealing也是-ing形式,但是词义不符,因此排除。
