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 car 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 此处需要一个形容词。文章倒数第2、3句说:“有趣的是,一些主要的日本汽车销售商是最早真正注意到女性客户的。在日本,相比之下,拥有工作或买车的女性更少——日本社会在很大程度上仍然是男性主导的社会。”根据上下文的逻辑和意思,备选词库中只有extreme最贴切。
