问题     The flood of women into the job market boosted economic growth and changed the US 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) affordable         F) insulted            K) retailed
    B) excessive          G) potential           L) scale
    C) extreme            H) primarily           M) situation
    D) gap                I) purchase            N) technically
    E) generate           J) really              O) voluntary [br] 【C10】
选项
答案 C
解析 形容词辨析题。根据空格前的the和其后的contrast可推断此处缺少形容词修饰名词contrast。由上句可知，日本社会仍是由男性主导，有工作或买车的女性不多，这和美国女性涌入劳动市场和买车是极端的对比，因此空格处填入extreme。
