【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述关于如何对抗青少年抑郁的几点建议。

1.“如果不能解决这种紧张的情绪，你可能会感到压抑。”根据下文讲述的是如何克服抑郁，故G项“帮助是可获得的，你有比你所能想象的更多的力量”串联上下文。

2. 前一句说“早上刚起床会很困难，但隔离自己只会使抑郁更糟。”后一句说“与那些积极向上的朋友在一起。”，故D项“当你融入到这个世界中时会感到好些。”串联上下文。

3.要参加体育活动。故B项“甚至是散步也是有益的。”承接上文，符合语境。

4. 前一句说 “药物的滥用不仅会使病情糟糕还会使抑郁更加重。”故E项“总之，长期来看，喝酒和吃药会让你感到更糟糕而非更好。”承接上文，符合语境。

5.故这一段讲的是“如果感觉有压力，可以去求助。”故选A。

考点：考查对文章的整体理解和上下文逻辑关系的把握。

【名师点睛】

在答题中，应首先略读一下短文，了解一下短文的大致意思，然后把几个选项含义理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表达有交叉的选项之间的区别。然后再细读短文，把答案填入合适位置。答题时可以把含义相近的几个选项轮流填入同一处位置，反复阅读，反复体会，找出最佳选项，对于实在没有把握的小题可以留待最后完成。完成短文后，再认真通读一遍全文，看看上下语意是否通顺，是否符合逻辑关系。比如：这篇文章的第38小题，前两句说的是：身体的活动可能比药物更有效，因此参加体育活动，骑车或跳舞。可知这里指的是：甚至是散步也是有益的。

另外，做题时要注意文章的首段和每一段的首句或尾句，因为它们往往就是文章的主题句。阅读中要注意要点之间的关系。比如：文章第40小题,联系下文“Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming. In addition, if you have a health concern you feel you can’t talk to your parents about, see a doctor.”如果考试压力过重可以跟老师交谈。此外，如果你担忧你的健康又不能和父母说，可以去看医生。可知这里指的是：如果感觉有压力，可以去求助。
