问题     Since 2007, the American Psychological Association (APA) has conducted a survey of different aspects of stress in America. This year’s analysis focused on teens, and on a 10-point scale,【C1】______ ranked their stress at 5.8, compared with a score of 5.1 reported by adults.
    Even more【C2】______ , says Norman Anderson, CEO and executive vice president of the APA, is the fact that most teens knew their stress levels weren’t healthy—they said 3.9 was probably more【C3】______ —but did little about it. In fact, the survey【C4】______ that 42% of teens aren’t doing enough to manage their stress.
    That’s concerning, since unaddressed stress can lead to both short-term mental-health issues such as depression, as well as lay the seeds for【C5】______ conditions such as heart disease and high blood pressure in adulthood.
    What’s causing teens to feel so anxious? Eighty three percent【C6】______ school as a source of stress, including concerns about their future after high school and worries about college. For some, family financial issues also caused anxiety, which wasn’t【C7】______ since previous studies found that parental stress can trickle (滴流) down to children, even at very young ages.
    "This population is underserved, and not taken seriously sometimes," said Katherine Nordal, of the APA. "We wanted to【C8】______ light on some of the problems we know teens are having and whether they are successful at coping with them or not."
    Clearly, said Anderson, "We have work to do to manage stress overall. Stress levels among Americans continue to be high, but coping【C9】______ remain ineffective." Teens reported doing everything that they probably shouldn’t in order to relieve stress—they aren’t getting enough sleep and they’re less【C10】______ active.
A) revealed E) physically I) chronic M) mechanisms
B) surprising F) practicable J) desirable N) revenged
C) disperse G) cited K) mentally O) disturbing
D) adolescents H) seniors L) shine
【C1】
选项
答案D
解析 空格位于动词ranked(排名)之前，应填入名词，作句子主语。上文提到今年的分析着重于青少年(teens)，结合后文与成人得分的对比，可知这里是指青少年的得分为5．8分。故填入teens的近义词adolescents“青少年”。
