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 [br] 【C3】
选项
答案 J
解析 此处需填入more修饰的形容词，说明青少年对3．9分的看法。上文说青少年的压力得分为5．8，他们知道这是不健康的；3．9分更低，应该是更desirable“可取的，有利的”。而后文说青少年的压力主要来自学校，因此不是他们自己可控制的，故不选practicable“可行的”。
