问题 The flood of women into the job market boosted economic growth and changed U.S. society in many ways. Many in-home jobs that used to be done【C1】______by women — ranging from family shopping to preparing meals to doing【C2】______work — still need to be done by someone. Husbands and children now do some of these jobs, a【C3】______that has changed the target market for many products. Or a working woman may face a crushing "poverty of time" and look for help elsewhere, creating opportunities for producers of frozen meals, child care centers, dry cleaners, financial services, and the like.
Although there is still a big wage【C4】______between men and women, the income working women【C5】______gives them new independence and buying power. For example, women now【C6】______about half of all cars. Not long ago, many cars dealers【C7】______women shoppers by ignoring them or suggesting that they come back with their husbands. Now car companies have realized that women are【C8】______customers. It’s interesting that some leading Japanese car dealers were the first to【C9】______pay attention to women customers. In Japan, fewer women have jobs or buy cars—the Japanese society is still very much male-oriented. Perhaps it was the【C10】______contrast with Japanese society that prompted American firms to pay more attention to women buyers.
A)scale B)retailed C)generate D)extreme E)technically
F)affordable G)situation H)really I)potential J)gap
K)voluntary L)excessive M)insulted N)purchase O)primarily [br] 【C10】

选项

答案 D

解析根据上下文，前句说日本是个男性主导的国家，本句中说日本社会却促使了美国公司更加关注女性购买者，显然这两者之间是一个extreme“强烈的”对比。
