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] What is the best title for this passage?
选项 A、Women’ s Power
B、An Unforgettable Experience
C、Tests Show Women Suited for Space Travel
D、Man Should Not Travel to Space Any More
答案 C
解析 题干意为“文章最好的标题是什么?”由文章第一段就可知，选择27名美国妇女进行为期一个月试验的目的是为了测试她们在模拟宇宙飞船条件下的反应，二、三段都是对这个实验的过程和结果的描述，故C项正确。错误选项说明：A，文章不是为了说明女性的力量：B，此主题范围太广；D，试验针对女性，并没有说男性不能再进入太空。
