    Internet data shows that American younger adults have become the primary group mad about altering their personal appearance. Once the realm of the well-to-do female【C1】________ her fifties, plastic surgery has become the attraction of the least rich segment of younger Internet users. Search data【C2】________ this phenomenon. One of the most popular sites visited from the search term "plastic surgery" is the【C3】________ site of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Over 25% of visitors to the site fell within the 18- to 24-year-old demographic (特定年龄段的人群)—that’s up from 19.6% two years ago.
    Looking at other health related sites visited by 18- to 24-year-olds, reveals just how mad this age group is about appearance. Unlike their older counterparts who visit sites related to【C4】________ and keeping healthy, younger Internet users flock to sites that dwell on personal appearance, such as those【C5】________ on bodybuilding, weight loss and skincare. And definitely plastic surgery.
    But if we track the trend in searches on topics such as "breast implants" or "plastic surgery," there has been a steep decline in all plastic surgery topics over the last year. What’s【C6】________  this downturn? It may very well be related to the failing U.S. economy and the predominant income group of visitors to cosmetic surgery sites—U.S. households that【C7】________ less than $30,000 per year. In fact, if we look at the search patterns around popular surgeries, over the last year the term "cost" is the most【C8】________ appearing qualifier (限定词). We see more searches such as "breast implant cost" and "plastic surgery cost". While older demographics continue to search for information on procedures such as face-lifts, it’s the younger Internet users who in tough【C9】________ times are focusing on improving their outer beauty, although at a(n)【C10】________ price.
【C9】
选项
答案J
解析 空格为名词times的修饰成分，可能需填形容词、名词或分词。由上文的the failing U．S．economy可知此处是要表达“经济困难时期”的意思，故填入的单词应能表达“经济的”这个意思，词库中的economic“经济的”符合要求。而economical“节约的”是形近干扰，代入后句意不通。
