these

them

考查代词。句意：一项研究表明，参加课外活动的学生比不参加课外活动的学生更开心。空格处代词与the students是对应关系，可以用the ones 或者those替代。“them”指代前面提到的复数名词，不能与the students形成对应关系，“these”一般不用定语从句修饰。故选B项。

Her father         a writer.

turned

grew

has turned

has become

考查系动词的区别。句意：她的父亲变成了一位作家。Turn，grow，become用作系动词均可表示“变化”，使用时要注意：become主要指一个人暂时性的身心变化或永久性的自然变化，另外还可用于指天气变化和社会的趋势；grow主要表示逐渐变化，强度变化过程；turn后接名词，往往表示意想不到的变化，名词前通常不加冠词。故选D项。
