问题     The authors of new research say supporting children and young people’s mental health is as important as supporting their academic progress.

This is different from proximity with parents, and instead is about【C5】________connection. For example, parents may have been working away from the home during lockdown but what mattered was the closeness of their connection with children when they returned.
    Young people who were lonelier had greater mental health【C6】________at the outset of lockdown.
    The researchers suggest that schools and other community support organizations need to address the differential experiences of young people to【C7】________those who have struggled get appropriate support. This can help avoid some of the【C8】________, long-term and negative impacts of loneliness in childhood.
    They argue that summer holiday programmes must prioritise wellbeing support, including social interaction either in-person or digitally.

In addition, policymakers need to acknowledge the growing demand for mental health services and urgently increase【C10】________in child and adolescent mental health services.

选项

答案A

解析 名词辨析题。空格前是介词of,空格后是形容词短语aged 11—16作后置定语,因此空格处应填入名词作of的宾语。由句意可知,该研究关注的是11岁至16岁________的心理健康与一些影响因素的关系。根据aged 11—16这一年龄段可知,空格处应填入表示“孩子,青少年”之意的名词。A)adolescents“青少年”符合句意,故为答案。
