Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes(运动员). Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.

The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw(缺陷)in themselves.

Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout. 76. An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is __________________.

A. to make sports less competitive

B. to make sports more challenging

C. to reduce their mental stress

D. to increase their sense of success

77. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that _____________.

A. it can help them learn more about society

B. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves

C. it enables them to find flaws in themselves

D. it can provide them with valuable experiences

78. Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes ________.

A. without realizing criticism may destroy their self confidence

B. in order to make them remember life’s lessons

C. believing that criticism is beneficial for their early development

D. so as to put more pressure on them

79. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is _________________.

A. to persuade young children not to worry about criticism

B. to stress the importance of positive reinforcement to children

C. to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragement

D. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout Section C  (5)

80. .

Testing of complex software project itself is a complex project in software quality assurance. It employs software test methodology, risk management, and well-structured testing procedures. A thorough test plan is essential to the success of software testing. A test plan includes test cases, necessary, software testing tools, hardware, special instructions for the test and contingent plan in the case of failures.

81. .

Test environment preparation is progressed parallel to the development of test cases. Support software, hardware, simulators, models, and etc. are installed. Initialization of environment and software to be tested (such as setting flags, breakpoints, pointers, data, or control parameters) are performed.

82. .

Various types of testing are conducted to execute the test cases. Test data are recorded for later analysis. Unit test is used to confirm that the code matches the specification. Component testing is used to confirm that the defined functions perform as required by the business requirements. Integration testing ensures that the new application will work successfully without adversely impacting on other operational systems. System testing confirms that performance, stress and volume are at acceptable levels. Operational testing explores the manageability of the system. Usability or user acceptance testing examines whether the system is user friendly.

83. .

Test data may clearly indicate the success or failure of software functionality. Analysis of system performance usually involves data manipulation and statistic. The analysts must check the arrangements and magnitudes of the data, analyze the relationships of data etc. They must also choose suitable statistic software to conduct the analysis.

84. .

Software testing, like software development, is an iterative process. Software testing project rarely ends up with approving or rejecting the system in a few iterations. Testing results usually point the areas for bug-fixing and enhancements. A test project is complete when a software system is eventually approved or rejected.
