问题 Text 1 While still catching up to men in some spheres of modern life,women appear to be way ahead in at least one undesirable category.“Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men,”according to Dr.Yehuda,chief psychiatrist at New York’s Veteran’s Administration Hospital.Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect the stress response,causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions.In several of the studies,when stressed-out female rats had their ovaries（the female reproductive organs）removed,their chemical responses became equal to those of the males.Adding to a woman’s increased dose of stress chemicals,are her increased“opportunities”for stress.“It’s not necessarily that women don’t cope as well.It’s just that they have so much more to cope with,”says Dr.Yehuda.“Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men’s,”she observes,“it’s just that they’re dealing with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly and sooner.”Dr.Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes.“I think that the kinds of things that women are exposed to tend to be in more of a chronic or repeated nature.Men go to war and are exposed to combat stress.Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence.The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations,by,unfortunately,parents or other family members,and they tend not to be one-shot deals.The wear-and-tear that comes from these longer relationships can be quite devastating.”Adeline Alvarez married at 18 and gave birth to a son,but was determined to finish college.“I struggled a lot to get the college degree.I was living in so much frustration that that was my escape,to go to school,and get ahead and do better.”Later,her marriage ended and she became a single mother.“It’s the hardest thing to take care of a teenager,have a job,pay the rent,pay the car payment,and pay the debt.I lived from paycheck to paycheck.”Not everyone experiences the kinds of severe chronic stresses Alvarez describes.But most women today are coping with a lot of obligations,with few breaks,and feeling the strain.Alvarez’s experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function.22.Dr.Yehuda’s research suggests that womenA.need extra doses of chemicals to handle stress.B.have limited capacity for tolerating stress.C.are more capable of avoiding stress.D.are exposed to more stress.

选项 A.need extra doses of chemicals to handle stress.
B.have limited capacity for tolerating stress.
C.are more capable of avoiding stress.
D.are exposed to more stress.

答案 D

解析首先根据题干内容找到文章中对应的内容，文章第三段第二句在提到关于Dr.Ychuda的研究中指出“这未必是因为女性不能调节压力，而只是因为她们承受的压力太多”。耶胡达医生还说，“女性忍受压力的能力甚至可能比男性更强，但只是由于她们应对的事情太多以至于疲劳得更快更明显。”从这写内容我们容易判断出答案为D。A项表意错误，第二段指出女性面对压力时产生的化学物质比男性多，这种化学物质使女性更易焦虑，而不是说女性需要更多的化学物质来缓解焦虑，故排除A项；第三段第三句提到女性容忍压力的能力或许比男性更好，排除B项
