Day 17 全 文 解 析
【2008英语一年Text1】
|
(1/6)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. |
-在现代生活中女性就算是在某些领域可以追赶上男性,但至少在一个方面是领先的,尽管是她们不太想要的。纽约的退伍军管理医院精神科首席医生Yehuda博士说道,和男性相比,女性面对压力时,更容易受到影响,导致抑郁和紧张。 |
|
(2/6)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. |
-对于动物和人类的研究都显示出性激素会在某种程度去影响面对压力的反应,导致在同样的条件下,女性产生更多的致病化学物质。在几项研究中,当受到压力的雌鼠的卵巢(雌性的生殖器官)被拿掉后,它们的化学反应变得和那些雄性的一样了。 |
|
(3/6)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.” |
-对于女性来说,除了产生更多的导致压力的化学物质外,她们产生压力的“机会”也更多。“并不是女性要处理的事情太少,而是她们有更多的事情要处理。”Yehuda博士说道。“她们对于压力的承受能力有时候甚至比男性的还大”,她观察到,“她们只是需要处理的事情太多,看起来会更容易精疲力尽。” |
| (4/6)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.”(Translation) |
-Yehuda博士注意到了另一个男女之间的不同点。“我认为,女性通常要做的事是慢性的,重复的。而男人去战场,承受的是格斗的压力。男性面临的更多的是随意的身体上的暴力。女性面对的人与人之间的暴力是在家庭环境中的。不幸的是,她们与父母还有其他的家庭成员之间不是能够一次性解决的问题。这种长期的关系的磨合是更有破坏性的。 |
| (5/6)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.” | -Adeline Alvarez 18岁结婚并生了个儿子,但她决定完成大学学业。“我尽了很大的努力拿到大学学位,因为我在实际生活中有很多的挫折,而这就是我的逃避,去学校,争取上游,做到更好。”不久后,她离了婚变成一个单亲母亲。“除了照顾一个十几岁的孩子,还要工作,付房租,养车,还债是最难的事情了。我的生活就是不停的支付自己的账单。” |
| (6/6)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. | -不是每个人经历着和Alvarez describes一样的长期的压力,但是大多数女性都在处理着太多的责任,很少得到喘息,从而感到了压力。Alvarez的经历证明了当压力威胁你的健康和正常生理功能之前解压是非常重要的。 |

|
【答案】A 【考点】推理判断题 【解析】从文中“”Women are particularly …under the same conditions.这2句话可以看出由于激素荷尔蒙的原因,女性在生理上面对压力时更脆弱。B文中没有表明女性受到来自于男性的压力。C和D 在前2段中没有说明。 |
|
|
22.Dr. Yehuda’s research suggests that women_____ [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. |
22.根据文章第二段,一些组织检查的它们的系统是为了发现 [A] 妇女应对压力时需要更多的药品。 [B] 妇女承受压力的能力有限。 [C] 妇女更能够避免压力。 [D] 妇女暴露在更多压力中。 |
|
【答案】D 【考点】具体信息题 【解析】首先定位,Dr. Yehuada’s 在第3段中,第一句话, Adding to a … for stress.女性的压力化学物质增多,她面对压力的机会就会增加。也就是更容易暴露在更多的压力下。A.参考答案中有”chemicals”,但是表达的意思是处理压力需要额外的,更多的化学物质,和原文意思不符。B.文中有一句话,“Their capacity for …than men’s,”她们处理压力的能力也许甚至比男性还大,而参考答案的意思是女性处理压力的能力有限,与原文不符。C.参考答案中是“avoiding stress”,而原文中没有提到避免压力。 |
|
|
23.According to Paragraph 4, the stress women confront tends to be____ [A] domestic and temporary. [B] irregular and violent. [C] durable and frequent. [D] trivial and random. |

|
【答案】C 【考点】具体信息题 【解析】回到原文,第4段,“The wear-and-tear …be quite devastating”来自于这些更长关系的磨损甚至可以是灾难性的。长期的,所以是durable;文中又说,“unfortunately, … to be one-shot deals.”中they tend not to be one-shot deals,说明不是一次两次,而是经常性的,所以是frequent。A. domestic是对的,文中有提及到,但是不是temporary,短暂的,而是长期的。B.violent是男性面对的压力的特点,而不是女性。D. random也是男性面对的压力的特点,而不是女性。故选C。 |
|
|

|
【答案】B 【考点】词意句义题 【解析】第五段最后定位,“It’s the …to paycheck.”说明Alvarez生活很艰难,参考答案中Alvarez的工资仅能支付房租符合文中的意思A. Alvarez只关心赚钱,与原文不符。C.Alvarez从不同的工作中赚钱,在原文中没有体现。D. Alvarez每件东西都是用支票支付的,在原文中没有体现。故选B。 |
|
|
