问题     The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted in the market places despite their obvious advantages. Furthermore, the advertising expenditure for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee. Efforts were【C1】______ to find the cause of the consumers’ seemingly unreasonable【C2】______ to the product. The reason given by most people was【C3】______   for the taste. The producers suspected that there might be【C4】______ reasons, however. This was confirmed by one of【C5】______  research’s classic studies, one often cited in the trade. Mason Haire, of the University of California,【C6】______ two shopping lists that were identical except for one【C7】______ . There were six items common to both lists, carrots, baking power, bread, canned peaches and potatoes,【C8】______ the brands or amounts specified. The seventh item, in the fifth【C9】______ both fists, read "! pound. Maxwell House coffee" on the list and "Nescafe instant coffee" on the【C10】______ One list was given to each person in a group of fifty【C11】______ , and the other list to those in another group of the same【C12】______ .The women were asked to study their lists and then to describe【C13】______ they could, the kind of woman (personality and character)【C14】______  would draw up that shopping list.【C15】______ half of those who had received the list including instant coffee【C16】______ a housewife who was lazy and a poor planner.【C17】______ , only one woman in the other group described the housewife, who had【C18】______ regular coffee on her list,【C19】______ lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was a poor planner. Eight women felt that the instant-coffee user was probably not a good wife! No one in the other group【C20】______ such a conclusion about the housewife who intended to buy regular coffee.  
【C11】
选项 A、group
B、persons
C、people
D、women
答案D
解析 语义逻辑题。本句的意思是：“其中一份清单发给由五十位女性组成的一个小组，人手一份。”题目考查学习者的逻辑推断能力。从上下文可以推断出被调查的是女性，又因为空格前已用了person一词，所以此处不能再用该词来修饰它，另两个选项A group与C people用在此处也不合适。综合分析，只有D women符合句子意思，为正确答案。
