问题     The market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the manager of the local supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.
    If you take care of a sick person to earn money, yon are producing for the market. If your father is a steelworker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.
    When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. 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.
    The market may seem to be something abstract. But for each person or businessman who is making and selling something, it’s very real. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won’t be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It’s telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn’t want you to do. [br] The word "real" in the last paragraph may most probably mean______.
选项 A、serious
B、important
C、true
D、concrete
答案 D
解析 文中第四段第一句、第二句说：“市场似乎是抽象的东西。但是对于制造和出售商品的每个人或生意人来说，它是非常real”。我们可以看出，“real”这个词在这里同“abstract”一词是相对而言，含义为“具体的”。因此选项D正确。A“认真的”；B“重要的”；C“真实的”；这三个选项均是错误的。
