Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the "system" of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.
If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define "price", many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privilege, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total "package" being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in group that they may evaluate a given price.
What is the best title for the passage?
选项
A、The Inherent Weaknesses of the Price System.
B、The Complexities of the Price System
C、Credit Terms in Transactions.
D、Resource Allocation and the Public Sector.
答案
B
解析
本题考查主旨大意。从文章可以看出,本文主要叙述了复杂的定价系统。文章第一段第二句提到:“美国的价格体系是一个非常复杂的体系网,其中包括经济体系中进行买卖的商品,同时也包括大量的服务,例如,劳动力、专业服务、运输和公共服务”。因此选项B 为正确答案。而其它选项均为细节,而非文章的主旨。
