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, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steelworker or a taxi 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 and gas stations. 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 is concrete. 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.
The word "concrete" in the last paragraph may most probably mean______.

选项 A、serious
B、important
C、necessary
D、real

答案D

解析 词语理解题。根据最后一段第一、二句“The market may seem to be something abstract.But for each person or businessman who is making and selling something,it is concrete.”可知,but之后的句子与前面的句子“市场可能是抽象的”是转折关系,所以后面的句子表达的意思是“但是对于每一个生产和销售东西的人来说,市场是真实的,是具体的”。由此可推知,concrete意为“实在的,具体的,有形的”,和real意思相近。
