Passage 3 Between 1977 and 1981, three groups of American women 27 in all, between the ages of 35 and 65, were given month-long tests to determine how they would respond to conditions resembling those aboard the space shuttle(航天飞机)。 Though carefully selected from among many applicants, the women were volunteers (EB)and pay was barely above the minimum wage. They were not permitted to smoke or drink alcohol during the tests, and they were expected to tolerate each other's 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 while tired from hard 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 pains due to a slight calcium (15) loss. Results of the tests suggest that women will have significant virtues over men in space. They need less food and less oxygen and they stand up to radiation better. Men's virtues in terms of strength and vigor meanwhile, are virtually wiped out by the zero-gravity condition in space. ll. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. The women were tested once a year from 1977 to 1981. B. The women involved had had previous physical fitnees training C. The tests were not carried out aboard the space shuttle. d. the tests were carried out on women of all ages. 12. Which would be the most suitable title for the passage A. Older Women, too, Can Travel in Space B. Tests Show Women Suited for Sp C Poor Wages for Women Space-Test Volunteers D. Space Testing Causes Backaches in Women 13.
