Seven of the 18 women who are【C2】______ CEOs of Fortune 500 companies—including Xerox’ s Ursula Burns and PepsiCo’ s Indra Nooyi—have, or at some point have had, a stay at home husband. So do scores of【C3】______ CEOs of smaller companies and women in other senior executive jobs.
This role change is【C4】______ more and more as women edge past men at work. Women now【C5】______ a majority of jobs in the US, including 51.4 percent of managerial and professional【C6】______, according to US Census Bureau data. Some 23 percent of wives now earn more than their husbands. And this earnings trend is more dramatic among younger people.

[A] appealing [B] average
[C] conflict [D] currently
[E] elementary [F] ensure
[G] female [H] fill
[I] occupations [J] occurring
[K] positions [L] primary
[M] recession [N] regularly
[O] unusual
【C9】
选项
答案
L
解析
空格前面为定冠词the,后面为名词短语wage earners,所以空格处需要填入形容词作定语。在意义上,本句由while连接的两个分句构成,前后对比,前半句提到丈夫失业,后半句表达妻子要赚钱养家之意。丈夫照顾孩子,妻子成为赚钱的主力,此处的形容词可选择primary“主要的”,意为主要的收入者,符合题意。在备选的形容词中,appealing“吸引人的,动人的,引起兴趣的”不合题意;elementary只表示“基本的,初级的”意思,没有“主要的”之意。
