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

    I. potential J. gap K. voluntary L. excessive
    M. insulted N. purchase O. primarily [br] 【C2】
选项
答案 K
解析 此处需要一个形容词，修饰后面的名词work。根据上下文，ranging from…to…的结构中所包含的几个并列短语的意思应当同属于in-home jobs，这样，词库中只有voluntary可以填入。
