问题     Being plugged into an iPod is a feature of adolescence. A new study suggests that teens who spend too much time listening to music may be at higher risk of depression.
    The study found that teens who reported listening to music more often—【C1】________using other types of media like TV and books—were more likely to have major depressive disorder,【C2】________with teens who listened to music less frequently. With each level increase in music use, teens had an 80% higher risk of depression, the study found. The study didn’t measure【C3】________listening times, but based on previous data, the study authors【C4】________that teens in the highest-use group were likely listening to music【C5】________at least four or five hours a day.
    At this【C6】________it is not clear whether depressed people begin to listen to more music to【C7】________or whether listening to large【C8】________of music can lead to depression,  or  both.【C9】________researchers  found  that reading books had the opposite【C10】________: with time spent in reading increasing, teens’ risk of depression【C11】________50%. This is worth emphasizing because overall in the U.S., reading books is decreasing,【C12】________nearly all other forms of media use are increasing.
    For the study, the researchers【C13】________106 participants aged 7 to 17 for two months; 46 participants had been previously【C14】________with depression. Throughout the course of the study, researchers made【C15】________weekend phone calls to the teens in order to determine, in real time, what forms of media they were using,【C16】________television, music, video games, Internet, magazines and books. On average, teens were most likely to be watching a movie or TV when researchers called (26% of the time). Teens reported listening to music 9% of the time, followed by Internet use and video gaming (6% each) and,【C17】________, reading printed media (0.2%).
    Of all the media reported, only music showed【C18】________associations  with  increased  depression  risk,【C19】________researchers had control of【C20】________like age, sex and race.
【C10】

选项 A、assumption
B、association
C、assurance
D、aspiration

答案B

解析 上一句讲到听音乐与抑郁之间的关系,而这句转向了reading books;空格后的冒号表示解释说明,讲的是阅读和抑郁之间的关系。只有B项association“联系”符合题意,即阅读与抑郁有着相反的关联。B项assumption意为“假定,设想”,但是冒号后的内容并不属于设想,而是研究得到的结果。C项assurance“保证”和D项aspiration“强烈的愿望”都无法与opposite(相反的)搭配,且与冒号后的内容毫无关联。
