   Anxiety is quite possibly the affective factor that most【C1】______obstructs the learning process. It is associated with negative feelings such as uneasiness, frustration, self-doubt, 【C2】______and tension. Heron (1989: 33) makes reference to what he terms existential anxiety, which arises out of a group situation and has three interconnected components that are relevant to the language classroom; ’Acceptance anxiety. Will I be accepted, liked, wanted? 【C3】______anxiety. Will I understand what is going on? ...Performance anxiety. Will I be able to do what I have come to learn?’
   It is not always how foreign language anxiety comes into being. For some people it may be a case of having been ridiculed for a wrong answer in class; for others it may have to do with factors unconnected with the language class itself. In many cases, the roots may be found in what Heron (1989; 33) terms archaic anxiety, which is ’ repressed distress of the past—the personal hurt, particularly of childhood, that has been denied so that the individual can【C4】______emotionally’ . Thus unhealed past wounds may【C5】______on present situations with potentially threatening elements.
   There are few, if any, disciplines in the curriculum which lay themselves open to anxiety production more than foreign or second language learning. There is a great deal of【C6】______involved in trying to express oneself before others in a shaky linguistic vehicle. It is possible in some cases that the methodology used can contribute to furthering anxiety. With the grammar-translation method one might assume a reduction of the possibility of anxiety, since the learners have relatively little of themselves invested in the activities required. However, with the advent of methods which focus on communication, and especially communication involving more personal aspects of one’s being, such as feelings, if care is not taken to provide an emotionally safe atmosphere, the chance for the development of anxiety-provoking situations can increase greatly. This is particularly true if at the same time the stakes involved are very high, such as in academic settings, where the evaluation of the learner can conceivably have【C7】______consequences.
   When anxiety is present in the classroom, there is a【C8】______effect. Anxiety makes us nervous and afraid and thus contributes to poor performance; this in turn creates even more anxiety and even worse performance. The feelings of fear and nervousness are【C9】______connected to the cognitive side of anxiety, which is worry. Worry wastes energy that should be used for memory and processing on a type of thinking which in no way【C10】______the tasks at hand. Although it is a major obstacle to language learning, anxiety can be reduced.
【C8】
选项
答案down-spiraling
解析 根据空前的不定冠词a和空后的名词单数effect可知，所填词为以辅音音素开头的形容词。结合后两句“焦虑使我们感到紧张和害怕，从而导致差的表现；这反过来又导致更多的焦虑和更差的表现”判断，课堂上的焦虑会产生恶性循环，故down-spiraling为答案。
