The Duchess Effect — the【C7】______ economic impact of Kate Middleton’s fashion choices, 【C8】______ from her new title, "the Duchess of Cambridge.""The Duchess Effect appears to extend much【C9】______ than the economic impact of Kate’s fashion choices; this year the fashion landscape seems to be a【C10】______, more accessible place with the styles more colorful, 【C11】______ and graceful than we’ve observed in many years, " said the Global Language Monitor’s fashion expert Bekka Payack.

C、obscure
D、dim
答案 A
解析    本题考点为语境推理。语境推理是解答完形填空的重要策略。
   (1)句式分析。
   原句中，The Duchess Effect是主语，破折号后的部分the______economic impact of Kate Middleton…作同位语，解释说明“公爵夫人效应”这个名词。此处应该填一个形容词，与economic一起修饰impact。
   (2)句意判断。
   第一段表明凯特王妃的穿衣风格成为英国时尚界的风向标，将刺激英国的服装业的发展。第二段前半部分表明女性都在模仿她的穿衣风格。由此可知，凯特王妃对英国经济产生了积极影响。因而，此句意为“‘公爵夫人效应’指凯特-米德尔顿的时尚穿衣品味对经济产生的积极影响”。
   【知识拓展】语法拓展：同位语与破折号的用法。
   ①同位语：当一个名词或其他形式(形容词、分词、数词、从句等)跟在另一个名词或代词后面，对其进行解释、说明或限定，这个名词或其他形式就是同位语。同位语与其说明的先行词的格一致，所指相同，句法功能也相同。
   e．g．Mrs．John，our new boss，is very kind to us．
   我们的新老板约翰太太对我们很好。
   My father read all kinds of books，ancient and modern，Chinese and foreign．
   我父亲读过各种各样的古今中外的书籍。
   ②破折号用在一个解释性分句或句子前，如It’s an environmental issue．一That’s not a small matter(这事关环境保护，不是件小事)；用在一个解释性插入语前后(相当于一个括号)，如At the meeting--I must have been insane—I decided I would go to see him(我开会时决定去看他，我准是疯了)；表示意思的突然转折，如“I can go to see him一”said Lily, “but he should first apologize to me”(莉莉说：“我可以去看他，不过他先得跟我道歉”)。
