问题     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. [br] According to the passage, ______.
选项 A、the women stayed together during the whole test
B、most of the women taking part in the test are very active
C、before the test, the women enjoyed smoking and drinking
D、all the women taking part in the test traveled to space at last
答案 A
解析 题干意为“根据文章，______。”第二段第二句描述27名妇女试验期间没有私人空间，要适应群体生活。由此可知她们一直在一起；文中没有说大部分妇女比较活跃，排除B；而C和D文章中没有相关叙述，故选A。
