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
【C10】
选项
答案N
解析 空格位于形容词比较级cheaper之前，应填入副词来修饰。根据句意可知，这里需要填入一个程度副词，表示“便宜得多”，故填入N)significantly“显著地，极大地”。全文并未提及行为激活疗法只在特定的时间或情况下成本低于认知行为疗法，故排除I)regularly“定期地，有规律地”。
