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 for space travel purposes.(1)
Those women were carefully selected from among many applicants.(2)They were not allowed 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 others things they had to stand pressure three times the force of gravity and carry out both physical and mental tasks while exhausted from strenuous physical exercise.(3)During that time they suffered backaches and other discomforts.(4)
Resuks of the tests suggest that wmen will have significant advantage over men in space.(5)Men’s advantages in terms of strength and stamina, meanwhile, are virtually wiped: out by the zero gravity condition in space.

A. At the end of ten years, they had to spend a further twenty days absolutely confined to bed.
B. They were volunteers and were paid barely above the minimum wage.
C. These tests were conducted to determine how they would respond to conditions resembling those abroad the space shuttle.
D. They need less food and less oxygen and they stand up to radiation better.
E. Some of them were over 65.
F. When they were finally allowed up, the more physical active women were specially subject to pains due to a slight calcium (钙)loss.
选项
答案B
解析 空格2，空格3和空格4在同一段落中所以可以同时考虑：因为它们应该围绕一个中心，一个主题发展。段首句说“这些妇女是从许多申请者中仔细挑选出来的”，而空格4就是该段的结尾，第4空格的前句况“在那段时间期间……”，thattime暗示前面一定有明确的时间词，但是在空格3的前句中没有发现这样时间词，所以只能是空格3涉及到时间，因此判断A是空格3的答案。而空格3的含义是“参加实验的妇女有20天的时间都被要求躺在床上”，对比备选项发现F应该是空格4的答案：F中的“最终战立起来”与“躺在床上”呼应，而且空格4的前句说的是妇女感受到的不适，而F也是相似的内容，因此判断F是答案；对于空格2，因为空格前句中是在对这些参加实验的妇女进行介绍，因此判断B合适：D在空格前后句中没有比较的对象，E不合理。
