Between 1977 and 1981, three groups of American women, numbering 27 in all, between the age of 35 and 65, were given month-long tests to determine how they would respond to conditions resembling those aboard the space shuttle.
Though carefully selected from among many applicants, the women were volunteers and the pay was barely above the minimum wage. They were not allowed to smoke or drink alcohol during the tests, and they were expected to tolerate each others company at close quarters for the entire period. Among other things they had to stand pressure three times the force of gravity and carry out both physical and mental tasks whole exhausted from strenuous physical exercise. At the end of ten days, they had to spend a further twenty days absolutely confined to bed, during which time they suffered backaches and other discomforts, and when they were finally allowed up, the more physically active women were especially subject to pain due to a slight calcium loss.
Results of the tests suggest that women will have significant advantages over man in space. They need less food and less oxygen and they stand up to radiation better. Men’s advantages in terms of strength and stamina, meanwhile, are virtually wiped out by the zero-gravity condition in space.
What were those American women tested for during the whole month?
选项
A、For the selection of the responsible persons.
B、For the condition of different group of the women.
C、To see if they were suitable for the space work.
D、To see how they would react to conditions like those aboard the space shuttle.
答案
D
解析
题干意为“那些美国妇女进行为期一个月的试验是为了什么?”由文章第一段可知,27名年龄不等的妇女接受了为期一个月的试验,以检测女性处于模拟宇宙飞船环境下的反应。文章中对一批美国妇女的筛选不是为了选择有责任心的人,所以不选A:不是为了测试不同组别妇女的情况,排除B;文章没有提及试验是为了看这些妇女是否适应太空作业,排除C;故选D。
