剑桥雅思19Test2Passage2阅读答案解析
第14题答案：D
对应原文：段落D：Our challenge and threat responses essentially influence how our body responds to stressful situations, as both affect the production of adrenaline and cortisol also known as ’stress hormones’
答案解析：这道题相对比较简单一些，全文只有D段提到了两种化学物质：肾上腺素和皮质醇。由此确定它为答案。
第15题答案：F
对应原文：段落F：there are many ways athletes can ensure they respond positively under pressure.
答案解析：F段一开始就提到，运动员可以通过多种方式来促使自己在压力下做出积极反应，随后又举了语言鼓励、情境设想、训练模拟等手段，都可以对应题干中examples of strategies for minimising the effects of stress (减小压力影响的策略)，由此确定它为正确答案。
第16题答案：A
对应原文：段落A：she later attributed to ‘the accumulation of the excitement and the buzz’.
答案解析：文章虽然通篇都在讨论压力对运动员的影响，但只有A段和C段提到了具体某个运动员-艾玛·拉杜卡努，对应题干中的a sportsperson，而她在社交媒体上发布的内容：“她将原因归结为激动与情绪的积累”则可以对应accounted for their own experience of stress （自身的压力体验），由此确定A为正确答案。
第17题答案：C
对应原文：段落C：Research shows that the challenge states lead to good performance, while threat states lead to poorer performance.
答案解析：这道题对应的原文在C段中间，因此比较难找一些，可以根据study去定位。原文提到，“研究表明，处于挑战状态下的人往往表现更出色，而威胁状态则会导致表现变差。”research对应study，挑战状态和压力状态则对应stress responses，由此确定C为正确答案。
第18题答案：F
对应原文：段落F：Psychologists can also help athletes change how they see their physiological responses
答案解析：段落F前半部分提到：“心理学家还可以帮助运动员改变他们对身体反应的看法”。其中psychologists对应people，see对应perceive，stress responses对应physiological responses，尤其确定其为正确答案。
第19题答案：injury
对应原文：段落B：For athletes, some level of performance stress is almost unavoidable … These demands include … their chance of succeeding, and any potential dangers such as injury.
答案解析：这道题定位难度比较大，我们首先要根据performance stress和demands的相关论述定位到B段，然后耐着性子一直往下看，直到找到空前词possible risk与potential dangers的同义替换，由此确定答案为injury。
第20题答案：serves
对应原文：段落D：In tennis players, cortisol has been associated with more unsuccessful serves and greater anxiety.
答案解析：根据cortisol和tennis players定位D段的最后一句，空前词fewer good与more unsuccessful同义替换，由修饰关系锁定答案为serves。
第21题答案：excitement
对应原文：段落F：Psychologists can also help athletes change how they see their physiological responses – such as helping them see a higher heart rate as excitement, this article is from laokaoya website, rather than nerves.
答案解析：根据psychologists和physiological responses定位到F段的前半部分，空前词such as与as对应，由此确定答案为excitement。
第22题答案：visualisation/visualization
对应原文：段落F：Developing psychological skills, such as visualisation, can also help decrease physiological responses to threat.
答案解析：顺着上一题往下，题干中psychological technique与psychological skills同义替换，an example对应such as，由此确定答案为visualisation。
第23题答案：B
对应原文：段落A：she began having difficulty regulating her breathing and heart rate during a match
答案解析：A段中提到，在某场比赛中她开始出现呼吸困难和心率不稳的情况。B选项symptoms对应having difficulty regulating her breathing and heart rate，由此确定其为正确答案。
第24题答案：D
对应原文：段落C：in Emma Raducanu’s case, a much larger audience, higher expectations and facing a more skilful opponent, may all have led her to feel there were greater demands being placed on her at Wimbledon
答案解析：这道题比较狡猾一些，不少同学可能将注意力主要放在了A段，忽视了C段其实也有关于温网和艾玛·拉杜卡努，原文指出，“温网赛场上更大的观众规模、更高的公众期待，以及更强劲的对手，可能都让她感觉自己面临的挑战剧增”。由此确定D为正确答案。A选项中的stage，B选项中measures，以及E选项中的reactions在原文中都找不到依据，因此通通排除。
第25题答案：A
对应原文：段落E：The intensity with which a person experiences anxiety depends on the demands and resources they have.
答案解析：原文提到，“个人感受到焦虑的强烈程度取决于他们面临的压力需求与可用的资源。”选项A中the factors对应the demands and resources they have，determine对应depends on，how severe对应intensity，由此确定其为正确答案。
第26题答案：E
对应原文：段落E：repeated episodes of anxiety coupled with negative responses can increase risk of heart disease and depression.
答案解析：虽然段落E通篇都在讲压力对运动员的负面影响，但决定E选项正确的关键因素在于too often和repeated的对应。如果找不到的话，无论如何都是不能选的。B选项中的how long，C选项中的most frequently encountered，以及D选项中的types of athlets在原文中都找不到对应，因此通通排除。
