G)situationH)really

I)potentialJ)gap

K)voluntaryL)excessive

M)insultedN)purchase

0)primarily

第36题：

参考答案：

0

此处需要一个副词来修饰动词done。根据上下文意思，文中列举的那些工作,

大部分或主要是由女性完成的。所以，primarily“主要地”最符合。

第37题：

参考答案：

K

此处需要一个形容词作定语修饰worko根据上下文意思，一work,应与

familyshopping,preparingmeals并歹U,同属in一homejobso结合选项，只

有voluntary带入后意为“义务工作”符合文意。

第38题:

参考答案：

G

根据上下文意思,所填入的名词应该是对前一个分句的概括,故选situation

“局面，情况”。

第39题：

参考答案：

J

根据文意，尽管男女之间仍然存在巨大的工资一一。此处显然填可数名词单

数，结合选项只有gap“差距”符合文意。

第40题：

参考答案：

C

根据文意，职业女性的收入给她们带来了独立和购买力。此处显然填动词，

选项的动词中显然只有generate"产生，生产”符合文意。

第41题：

参考答案：

N

此处需要一个动词原形,作句子的谓语。根据上下文意思，不难看出purchase

符合。

第42题：

参考答案：

M

此处应填动词作为谓语，且根据前文的时间Notlongago可知要填动词的

过去式。根据句中ignoring和sugg
