There is an example at the beginning(0).
The Present Recession Affects Women More Than Men
If men were the first to lose their jobs in the heart of the economic crisis in the United States, a study now shows a(0). B... trend, women,【C1】______mothers today, are suffering the collateral effects, while the American economy is back on the road to growth.
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.
【C6】______, one third of jobs destroyed during the current recession were【C7】______by women, said Ms. Maloney. For example, it was discovered that during【C8】______ recessions, this percentage was lower: Women have been affected by 15 percent of job losses during the recession of 2001. While women are losing more jobs, their families are more【C9】______on women incomes, said Carolyn Maloney.
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.
So let’s all hope that this trend will change soon and that the economy gets better soon in America for women as well as for men.
Example:
A obvious B reverse C reverent D opposite
【C5】
选项
A、rised
B、aroused
C、rose
D、climbed
答案
C
解析
词义辨析题。A项可分解为“rise(升高,举起)+d”的形式,不是单词,也不是rise的过去式(此时应为rose);B项为arouse(引起)的过去式;C项为rise(升高,提高)的过去式;D项为climb(爬,攀)的过去式。此处为数字的增长,而根据表示数字的增长一般会使用rise或go up等,而不会使用arouse,climb的规则,故此处只能选择C项rose。
