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.
【C11】
选项 A、dropped
B、soared
C、remained
D、fluctuated
答案A
解析 由冒号前的opposite可知，阅读有着与听音乐相反的效果。前面提到，听音乐的时间越长，青少年患抑郁症的风险就增加更多。由此推断，读书时间越长，青少年得抑郁症的风险反而会下降很多，故选A项dropped“下降”。B项soared“高涨”，代入句中没有体现出opposite的意思。如果青少年的抑郁症的风险保持在50％，那说明阅读时间即使增长，风险并没有变化，不符合句意逻辑，排除C项remained“保持”。D项fluctuated意为“波动”，通常后面不接具体数字，而本句空格后是50％。
