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] 【C7】
选项
答案 B
解析 空格在wasn’t之后，可能是分词、形容词或名词。空格前的which指代上文“家庭经济问题也引起焦虑”，空格后说之前的研究发现父母的压力可以慢慢传给孩子，因此家庭的经济问题会引起青少年压力就不奇怪了。故surprising“令人惊奇的”正确。
