问题    Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we "fit" in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, and whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader.
   The statuses we assume often【C1】______with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed,【C2】______the statuses that various situations require. Much of social【C3】______consists of identifying and selecting among【C4】______statuses and【C5】______other people to assume their statuses【C6】______relation to us. This means that we【C7】______our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of【C8】______and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more【C9】______than others, most of us perform【C10】______rather effortlessly.
   A status has been【C11】______to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits, the buyer can choose style and【C12】______. But an American is not【C13】______to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or【C14】______of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing【C15】______by our society. Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit,【C16】______by our pocketbook. Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain【C17】______made, but apart from minor【C18】______, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their【C19】______. Statuses too come ready made, and the【C20】______of choice among them is limited.
【C9】
选项 A、difficult
B、overwhelming
C、burdenless
D、different
答案A
解析 从整句来看，这是一个复合句，让步状语从句在前，主句在后。主句表达的是毫不费力，即effortlessly，由此可知前面从句是表示转折相反的意思，即要选择difficult，即A。 overwhelming的意思是“势不可挡的，压倒的”；burdenless是burdensome的反义，意思是“无负担的，不烦人的”。
