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.作者: jesting777 时间: 08-10-25 21:56

这段话依然是两句,必然还有一个主题句,这一段的主题句。第一句说的是studies showXXX,而第二句说的是In several of the studies。那么就表明第一句是结果,第二句是例子了,第二句的研究得出了第一句的结果。这样能理解吗?
好,我们再来看这个主题句
这个主题句主要说的是什么,看得出来吗?作者: saraline 时间: 08-10-25 22:07

自然而然,shown后面就是主题吧?

又是有引用的话,还是暂时不看,第一句就是这一段的内容的概括。
提到了另一种差别

这一段是最后一段,比较短小,是不是就没有主题句了呢?错了,看到文章离有一个but,这就是一个意思的转折,这个转折后面必定是重要的内容,我们来看看

那么这篇文章的主题是什么呢?通篇都是在说女性的压力的,对吧?
如果你还是没有办法确定主题,那么没关系,我们先来看题目
21.
Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?
[A] Women are biologically more vulnerable to stress.
[B Women are still suffering much stress caused by men.
[C] Women are more experienced than men in coping with stress.
[D] Men and women show different inclinations when faced with stress.
A,不确定
B,caused by men?有说吗?没有
C, coping with stress?也没有提到吧?
D,different inclinations 不同的倾向?原文提到了性别不同会有影响,但是影响的是stress response(应激反应)
BCD都不对,那么看看A,即使你不知道vulnerable什么意思,那么你知道biologically吧? 从生物学的角度,即使你不知道准确的意思,你也应该知道和生物有关吧?
文章的第二段提到了荷尔蒙,刚刚有朋友已经翻译出来了,那么荷尔蒙是生物啊医学啊方面的吧?
对应上了吧?
选A了吧?作者: 05072216 时间: 08-10-25 22:36

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.
Adding to a woman’s increased dose of stress chemicals, are her increased “opportunities” for stress。
如果看这一句还是选择不出答案的话,我们稍微看一下这个人的话:
It’s not necessarily that women don’t cope as well.
It’s just that they have so much more to cope with。
她们有很多的事情要处理。
说明什么?
她们面对了很多的压力吧?
而且,显然A是不对的,B在粉色的那句话里就已经被否定了吧?C没有提到
答案自然就是D

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.
人家让我们去看第四段,好的,去看看
刚刚我们把这段话跳过去了,现在人家问内容,那么还是看看这个人说了些什么
“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.”
这个人说话,也是有一个主题,然后再说一些事例论证的,大概看一下应该知道那一句是这个人的话的中心吧?
这里有两个关键的形容词“chronic or repeated ”是不是和C选项的内容对应?只是不同的说法而已。
虽然A和B选项好像唉文中都有提及,但是那是具体的例子里的事情,不能是对所有事情的概括,对不对?

24.The sentence “I lived from paycheck to paycheck.” (Line 6, Para. 5) shows that
A] Alvarez cared about nothing but making money.
B] Alvarez’s salary barely covered her household expenses.
C] Alvarez got paychecks from different jobs.
D] Alvarez paid practically everything by check.
这一题让大家去看那个女人的例子那一段,好的,我们回去找到这句话
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.”
出现这句话的前后,肯定就是这句话的原因或者相关的部分,既然没有后面,我们就看看前面那句话
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. 她要工作,要缴各种各样的费,而且她还觉得很难照顾,是为什么啊?因为工作的钱都花在各种消费上了。 答案就是B 我们看一下其他的选项 A,不对吧?只关注钱? C,不同的工作,文中并未提及 D,几乎每样支出都要check?paycheck虽然和check长得很像,但是不代表就是正确答案啊
paycheck是工资的意思
根据题干所问,选项所给,判断看不懂的那个句子是不是做题所必须的
如果是必须的几个句子中的一个,根据上下文判断是否能不靠此句得出答案
如果不能,根据句子中其他词和段落思想及中心思想能否推出句子意思进而比对出答案
如果不能,最后一招,找和中心思想最贴近的选上去作者: hz871107 时间: 08-10-25 22:56
