近年来，男女平等的观念逐渐深入人心，过去那种重男轻女的观念已经逐渐成为历史，在更多岗位上我们看到了女性的身影。特别是在这几年抗击疫情的过程中，女性医护人员占到了极高的比重，为了这场战疫，她们付出了很多，也牺牲了很多，都给我们留下了深刻印象。从女排精神，到女足夺冠，我们见证了女性在不同领域绽放光彩。
其实在考研英语中关于女性话题的文章也有很多：
2008年Text 1.女性面临更多的压力
2.英2-Text 1 粉色如何垄断小女孩消费市场
2013-英2-Text 4 欧盟拟立法设定女董事配额
2020-英2- Text 3 董事会性别配额制强化特权
那么结合我们对女性地位的提高和尊重这一认知是否能够做出来题目呢？我们一起来一探究竟。
在2008年Text 1关于女性面临压力的这篇文章中，就考到下面这些题目：
【真题示例1】
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.
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.
分析：根据前两个自然段，我们可以一一去文章里面找对应，根据Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders以及causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions. 我们可知相同情况下，女性在生理上（trigger chemicals）更易于vulnerable to和文中的susceptible to 同义替换，所以说这个选项就是我们要找的。再看一下其它的选项：B选项有提到女性遭受很多压力，但是这种压力是不是男性造成的文中没有提到。C选项女性比男性在处理压力方面更有经验，文章也没有提到。D选项说男女在面对压力时表现出不同的倾向，文中只提到causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions.不同量的诱发化学物质，没有提到倾向性，故排除。
【真题示例2】
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.”
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.
分析：根据Dr. Yehuda这个人名，我们可以定位到第3段，看到“It’s just that they have so much more to cope with”“Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men’s,”“it’s just that they’re dealing with so many more things 通过观察，我们会看到反复出现so much more，even be greater，so many more都是在强调数量多，所以我们可以选定这道题目的答案D女性面临更多的压力。
其实只要把握住文章的主题是关注女性面临的压力，我们就会发现这些题目就没有想象中那么难。
在这个特殊的妇女节，向所有的女性致敬，对于她们的付出和坚守，唯有感恩、感念、感谢。
