According to a report by the Joint Economic Committee of American Congress, American men were the most affected at the beginning of the crisis as over-【C2】______in most key sectors such as building and industry. Today, they are finding jobs, unlike women and especially single mothers. Between October 2009 and March 2010, women have lost 22,000 jobs while men have found 260,000 jobs, a 【C3】______ by that Committee. According to the chairwoman of this Committee, Democrat Carolyn Maloney, the conclusions of the survey show that single women were particularly affected, with an【C4】______rate that【C5】______from 8 percent to 13.6 percent between the year 2007 to 2009.

In 2009, 3. 3 million women worked part time for【C10】______ reasons, the report said. Either because they had not found a full-time employment or their working hours had been reduced to part time.

Example:
A obvious B reverse C reverent D opposite
【C8】
选项
A、previous
B、last
C、passed
D、past
答案
A
解析
词义辨析题。A项意为“以前的,先前的”;B项意为“上一次的”;C项为pass(经过)的过去式或过去分词;D项意为“过去的”。根据整句话的意思,首先可以排除B和C项。past做“过去的”含义讲时,一般用于搭配或修饰“experience”等词,故A项为最终选项。previous recessions在这里表示“先前的几次经济衰退”。
