问题   At a party for Ms．magazine’s 40th birthday，the Canadian writer Ann Dowsett Johnston waited for an audience with Gloria Steinem，hoping to cull wisdom for her research on women and alcohol．“Alcohol?”Steinem said to Johnston．looking“dismissive．”“Alcohol is not a women’s issue．”
  Steinem may have been hasty．We know that many women report drinking more often in recent decades，that they are drinking more when they do，and that the physiological impact and social meaning of it all is different for women than for men．Women are the engine of growth for the American wine market and are being arrested for drunken driving more often than before．How much alarm should be invested in those observations is up for debate in both Johnston’s book．Drink：The Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol，and Her Best-Kept Secret：Why Women Drink-and How They Can Regain Control，by the American journalist Gabrielle Glaser，the second of which makes the more pointed case．
  Johnston turns in part to gauzy memory to make the case that female alcohol consumption is then egative byproduct of modern complexities and the pressure for women to be “perfect．”“I don’t remember my grandmothers suffering from this syndrome，”she asserts．
  “Women who raised families during the Depression，who baked and gardened and read well；who were fundamentally happy，and felt no pressure to look like stick figures．”Well．Depression-era women’s lives were more circumscribed and less weighted with the pretext of “choice，”sure．But were these women，all in all，“fundamentally happy” ?And were they less eager for a fix when they could get it?
  A temptation for many trend journalists and headline writers is to see women’s higher rates of alcohol abuse and dependency as the uneasy consequence of female liberation．Glaser acknowledges that alcohol provides a form of self-medication during a time of dizzying changes in women’s lives，but she is skeptical of the notion that alcoh01 abuse is the price of too much liberation．Her concise assessment：“Women are drinking more because they can．”Indeed，whereas Johnston often casts women as the victims of institutions，Glaser seems more interested in asking why institutions aren’t serving women’s needs better．Either way，what’s at stake is how we respond to the byproducts of equality that fit less comfortably on a placard．
According to Paragraph 2，which of the following is NOT true of women?
选项 A、They are punished for drunken driving more often．
B、They drink more both in quantity and in frequency．
C、They have different influences on physiology and society．
D、They effectively promote sales of American wine market．
答案C
解析 本题为细节题。根据题干关键词定位到第二段。第二句的后一个分句意为“而且女人喝酒的生理影响和社会意义跟男人喝酒不同”，该句的主语是drinking，不是women，故C项不符合文意，因此为正确答案。A项中的punished与第三句中的arrested意思一致。第二句的前一个分句意为“我们知道，近几十年很多女人说自己喝酒更频繁，喝得也更多”，B项中的drink more，quantity，frequency是文中drinking。more often和drinking more的同义替换，故B项符合文意。D项中的promotesales与第三句中的engine of growth意思一致。
