单选题根据以下资料,回答题:
        While still catching-up to men in some spheres of modem 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 affects 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 and sooner．
with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly "
        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．

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．

参考答案A

解析:【结构分析】
第一段作者通过分析男性和女性双方在面对压力时的差异，引出女性更易遭受压力困扰这一话题。
第二段阐述了女性的压力大是由于其荷尔蒙的分泌特征引起的。
第三、四段指出女性压力大还因为她们遭受压力的“机会”要多于男性，尽管她们应对压力的能力可能比男性更强，但女性要面对家庭内部持久的压力。
第五段作者举了一个例子——一位女士的真实生活经历，通过这位女士巨大的生活压力来验证前面三段的观点。最后一段作者总结指出女性的确遭受着持续性的压力，女性应注意采取适当的方式缓解压力，以避免压力危及健康。
【试题解析】
A。本题的出题点在篇首两段。文章第一、二段提到，妇女在面对压力时，由于性荷尔蒙的差异，会产生更多的trigger chemicals，这正是导致她们develop depression and anxiety disorders的原因。所以，女性在面对压力的时候更加脆弱，故选A。而且，下文所举的母鼠实验的例子也能说明这一点，在该实验中，当母鼠的卵巢被切除后，其chemical responses就与公鼠一样了，这说明是生理上的原因导致女性在面对压力的时候更加脆弱。
