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 B)surprising C)disperse D)adolescents
E)physically F)practicable G)cited H)seniors
I)chronic J)desirable K)mentally L)shine
M)mechanisms N)revenged O)disturbing
【C5】

选项

答案I

解析 此处应填人修饰conditions的词,可能是名词、形容词或分词。本句用both…as well as连接,说明没有处理的压力会导致短期的心理健康问题,还会埋下心脏病和高血压等疾病的隐患。由short-term可判断与之相反的chronic“慢性的”正确。
