【分析】
首先通读短文理解语境，再结合每个空的语法规则和方框内单词的词性、形式变化解题：1. 看到make，想到固定搭配make sb +形容词（作宾补）；2. 时间状语for a long time对应现在完成时；3. 情态动词can后接动词原形；4. 主语为单数名词时，一般现在时谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
【解析】
1. 第一空：固定搭配make sb +形容词，表“使某人……”，方框中sick是形容词，符合“感到孤独让你生病”的语境，故填sick。
2. 第二空：时间状语“for a long time”是现在完成时的标志，结构为“have/has +动词过去分词”，主语doctors是复数，方框中know的过去分词为known，故填have known。
3. 第三空：情态动词can后接动词原形，方框中cause是动词原形，意为“导致”，符合“孤独能引发健康问题”的语境，故填cause。
4. 第四空：主语loneliness是第三人称单数，句子为一般现在时，谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式，方框中influence的第三人称单数为influences，意为“影响”，符合语境，故填influences。
【答案】
1.sick 2.have known 3.cause 4.influences

【分析】
本题为英语七选五阅读题，解题思路如下：首先通读全文把握主旨（文章围绕“去户外对身心有益”展开），再逐空分析上下文的逻辑关系：第1空需承上启下引出下文分点阐述的户外益处；第2空需补充阳光对身体的益处；第3空需递进说明看绿植的更好方式；第4空需说明赤脚接触土地的好处；第5空需衔接“听自然声音”的具体做法，结合选项匹配对应内容即可。
【解析】
1. 第1空：前文提到户外能减压、让人更开心，后文是分点阐述户外的好处，此处需承上启下引出下文原因，故选C；
2. 第2空：前文说明阳光帮助身体产生维生素D，后文提到短时间户外能让人积极，此处需补充阳光的益处，D项“研究显示它能让心脏更健康、改善情绪”符合；
3. 第3空：前文讲看绿植能放松，后文说没时间时看窗外绿植也有用，此处应递进说明更好的情况，G项“如果能在花园散步或在树下坐一会儿会更好”衔接自然；
4. 第4空：前文讲赤脚走在草地等能和土地连接，后文说这是让人平静的简单方式，此处需说明这种方式的好处，A项“科学家说它能改善睡眠、减少担忧”符合；
5. 第5空：前文讲听自然声音，后文说和汽车、手机噪音不同，此处应建议具体做法，F项“下次你在户外时，闭上眼睛听一会儿”符合。
