【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了影响考试成绩的压力来源。通过试验得出结论，即真正影响学生的是在真正考试前几周的高度焦虑。学生在考试前几天的焦虑程度越高，他或她在这段时间里学到的知识就越少。
68．细节理解题。根据“ it is nt the pressure(压力) f the exam hall that causes the prblem. It is the pressure f review.”可知，造成这个问题的不是考场的压力。而是复习的压力。故选C。
69．主旨大意题。根据第四段主要是关于实验的结论的，即考试前几天焦虑程度越高，复习获得的知识越少，考试结果越不好。故选B。
70．词义猜测题。根据“ they can reduce the imprtance f the test by telling themselves that, thugh it is imprtant, it is nt a life-r-death situatin.”可知，他们可以通过以下方法降低测试的重要性：告诉自己，尽管这个考试很重要，但这不是生死攸关的事情。故选A。
71．推理判断题。根据“Dr. Thebald fund that anxiety n the day f the test did nt predict exam perfrmance at all.”可知，考试当天的焦虑根本不会影响考试成绩，“what actually affected students were high levels f anxiety during the weeks befre the real exam tk place. ”，可知，真正影响考试成绩的是考试前复习阶段的焦虑程度。故选D。
