You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market.【2】If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them. If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.【3】You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market.【4】But for each person or business that is making and selling something, it is very concrete(具體的). If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won’t be long before you get the message.【5】It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn’t want you to do.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】G

【3】C

【4】A

【5】F

【解析】試題分析：本文是一篇議論文。文章用通俗的例子，講述了市場的概念。

【1】D考查學(xué)生對文章的理解和主題句的選擇。根據(jù)后文可知，文章用作西紅柿做例子，講述了市場的概念。故選D。

【2】G考查上下文的語境理解。上文提到你在為市場生產(chǎn)，下文是：如果人們不買你的西紅柿，你將停止種植它們。可知空格處應(yīng)該是：你的想法受市場的指導(dǎo)。故選G。

【3】C考查上下文的語境理解。根據(jù)下文You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. 你可以在商店、超市、加油站和餐館里花錢。Still you are buying from the market. 你仍然在市場上購買�？芍�C項符合題意。

【4】A考查上下文的語境理解。根據(jù)下文的對應(yīng)詞concrete（具體的）可知，這里和選項中的abstract相對應(yīng)。故選A。

【5】F考查上下文的語境理解。根據(jù)下文中的It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to do. 它告訴你，你正在使用能源和資源做一些市場上不讓你做的事情。可知上句的意思是：市場上告訴你做什么。故選F。

做七選五時，首先要了解七個選項的內(nèi)容，然后再看文章。當(dāng)看到空格處時一定要把空格上下文中的關(guān)鍵詞和選項中的次進行比較觀察，這會事半功倍，快速地找到正確答案。39小題A考查上下文的語境理解。根據(jù)下文的對應(yīng)詞concrete（具體的）可知，這里和選項中的abstract相對應(yīng)。故選A。
