　　A)process B)high C)enjoying D)anxiety

　　E)settle F)cautious G)cooperate H)greatly

　　I)dropping J)hardly K)intense L)focus

　　M)aspiration N)critical O)procedure

　　参考答案及解析:

　　1.选D)。 由or可知，此处应填名词，并且所填名词和stress词语词性相同，选项中有anxiety和aspiration，但由最后一段中worrying more可推出，压力会给运动员造成过多的焦虑，而不是渴望，故排除aspiration而选anxiety。

　　2.选I)。由or可知， 此处应填动词的现在分词形式，且表达的意思应与quitting相近，故排除选项中的enjoying而选dropping不再做。

　　3.选N)。此处应填形容词。从原文成长过程的最初几年是了解自己的......时期。可选项有cautious和critical，由后文中的valuable experiences和be used throughout their lives可推出，成长的最初几年是了解自己的关键时期，而不是谨慎时期。故排除cautious而选critical。

　　4.选G)。此处应填动词， 且能与with构成搭配。可选项有settle和cooperate，而settle with sb. 意为同某人解决 ,显然不符合题意，因此选cooperate合作。

　　5.选H)。此处应填副词。可选项有greatly和hardly，由take......to heart可推出，教练和父母的反馈信息会极大地影响年轻运动员，故排除hardly而选greatly。

　　6.选F)。由also可知， 此处应填与aware对应的形容词。因此，可选项有cautious和critical，但that从句解释的是参与体育运动不能成为孩子们的工作，故只有cautious符合题意。

　　7.选A)。此处应填名词。由that可知，此处应填与outcome意思相反的词，故只有process过程符合题意，选项中procedure强调的是程序，故排除。

　　8.选C)。由句中的instead of可知，此处应填动词的现在分词形式。根据worrying和instead of可推出，此处应填与worrying意思相反的词，因此，选项中只有enjoying符合题意。

　　9.选L)。此处应填动词，且能与on构成搭配。可选项有settle和focus，但从句意来理解，比赛后，许多父母和教练......比赛结果，而且总是在挑剔年轻人在比赛中的表现。settle on决定，同意：，显然与句意不符，故排除settle而选focus，focus on在此意为看重 .

　　10.选B)。此处应填形容词。但选项中的形容词有high和intense，应为这个形容词由来修饰名词level，而intense表示紧张的，强烈的不能用来修饰level，故选择high。
