问题     College can be a very stressful time for young adults, and this can be very taxing on their mental health. Fortunately there is a very【C1】________remedy for this stress—nature. Recent research shows that spending as little as 10 minutes in a natural setting can help【C2】________students of their college stress.
    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. "We【C4】________believe that every student, no matter what subject or how high their【C5】________, has that much discretionary (自由决定的) time each day, or at least a few times per week. "
    The studies included in the review【C6】________the effects of a "green" environment versus an urban setting on the physical and mental health of students. The measures used in the studies include
    students’ heart rate, blood pressure, Cortisol (皮质醇) levels (a stress hormone), mood and their
    【C7】________to focus. The review of the studies indicates that 10-50 minutes of sitting or walking in nature are the most effective at【C8】________these measures.
    One of the critical aspects of this review is that it provides students with something they can do on a【C9】________basis to alleviate their stress. Co-author Donald Rakow comments; "While there is a lot of literature on longer outdoor【C10】________, we wanted to quantify doses in minutes, not days. "
    A) ability     F) eventually    K) relieve
    B) accessible  G) firmly       L) revealing
    C) compare   H) improving    M) scenes
    D) daily      I) numerous     N) struggle
    E) decent     J) programs     O) workload
【C8】
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。
