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.
【C6】

选项 A、altitude
B、time
C、point
D、rate

答案C

解析 上文提出了一个观点“花大量时间听音乐的青少年得抑郁症的风险更高”,下文就这个观点做深度剖析,故选C项point“点”,at this point“在这一点上”。A项altitude“高度”与地理有关,与上下文没有关联。B项tinge“此时此刻”与时间相关,上文并没有讲到某一特定时刻,只是说了一个估计的时间段。D项at this rate意为“照这种情况下去”,上文并没有设定某一种情况或情形。
