问题       There axe various ways in which individual economic units can interact with one another. Three basic ways may be described as the market system, the administered system and the traditional system.
      In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the market place. It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them. In a market, transactions may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shoes, and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not al ways be an easy task. Hence, the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases trans actions considerably. In the modem market economy, goods and services are bought or sold for money.
      An alternative to the market system is administrative control by some agency over all trans actions. This agency will issue edicts or commands as to. how much of each goods and services should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy. The central plan, drawn up by the government, shows the amounts of each commodity produced by the various firms and allocated to different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planning of production, consumption, and exchange for the whole economy.
      In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition: parentage, religion, and custom fix every person’s place within the economic system. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too. People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an obligation to care for other persons, provide them with food and shelter, care for their health, and provide for their education. Clearly, in a system where every decision is made on the basis of tradition alone, progress may be difficult to achieve. A stagnant society may result.
In the second paragraph, the word "real" in "real goods" could best be replaced by which of the following?
选项 A、High quality.
B、Concrete.
C、Utter.
D、Authentic.
答案B
解析 词汇语义题。选项A意为“高质量的”；选项B意为“实在的，具体的”；选项C意为“完全的，彻底的”；选项D意为“真正的，原创的”。根据下文中举出的例子，不难得出答案。
