69、女性”。4on解析：考查固定搭配。on average为固定搭配，意为“平均”。句意：在该报纸中一项由一个国际组织进行的研究表明，30到60岁的女性平均每天睡6小时41分钟。5cities解析：考查名词单复数。根据该句中的“like Beijing and Shanghai”可知，该处指“像北京、上海那样的城市”，为复数意义，故填cities。6pressure解析：考查名词。根据该句中“and competition”，再结合空前的形容词“heavy”可知，该形容词修饰两个并列的名词，故填press的名词形式pressure，表示“压力”。7sleeping解析：考查形容词。空处修饰后面的名词habits，表示“睡眠习惯”，故填形容词sleeping。8which解析：考查关系词。分析该句结构可知，该句为非限制性定语从句，空处在从句中作主语，指代前面的“unhappiness, anxiety and depression”，故填关系代词which引导该定语从句。9especially解析：考查副词。空处修饰短语“in women”，故用副词形式。10daily解析：考查形容词。空处修饰后面的名词“routine”，表示“日常生活”，故填day的形容词形式daily。
