问题         The flood of women into the job market boosted economic growth and changed the 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) 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

【C8】
选项
答案G
解析 形容词辨析题。空格处缺少修饰customers的定语，应填入形容词。上句指出，以前女性没有钱，受到羞辱。本句表对比，指出现在很多汽车公司意识到女性是________消费者，所以空格应表“可能”之意。比较备选项，形容词G)potential符合题意。
