问题     A market is commonly thought of as a place where commodities are bought and sold. Thus fruit and vegetables are sold wholesale at Covent Garden Market and meat is sold wholesale at Smithfield Market. But there are markets for things【C1】______commodities, in the usual【C2】______. There are【C3】______estate markets, foreign exchange markets, labour markets, short-term capital markets, and so on; there may be a market for anything that has a price. And there may be no particular place to which dealings are【C4】______. Buyers and sellers may be【C5】______over the whole world and instead of actually meeting together in a market-place they may deal with one another【C6】______telephone, telegram, cable or letter.【C7】______dealings are【C8】______to a particular place, the dealers may consist wholly or in part of agents【C9】______instructions from clients far away. Thus agents buy meat at Smithfield【C10】______retail butchers all over England; and【C11】______on the London Stock Exchange buy and sell【C12】______on instructions from clients all over the world. We must therefore define a market as any area over which buyers and sellers are in such close touch with one another, either directly or through【C13】______,【C14】______the prices【C15】______in one part of the market affect the prices paid in other parts.
    Modern means of communication are so rapid that a buyer can discover【C16】______by asking, and can accept it if he wishes,【C17】______he may be thousands of miles away. Thus the market for anything is,【C18】______, the whole world. But in fact things have, normally, only a local or national market.
    This may be because nearly the whole demand is【C19】______in one locality. These special local demands,【C20】______, are of quite minor importance. The main reason why many things have not a world market is that they are costly or difficult to transport.
【C2】
选项 A、sense
B、meaning
C、case
D、situation
答案A
解析 词汇题。词义辨析题。sense“意义”，和介词in搭配成in a sense，表示“从某种意义上来说”，如：in a broad／narrow sense在广／狭义上。in the usual sense意为“在通常的意义上”，符合题意，为正确答案。meaning“含意，内涵”，如：Synonyms are words that have the same or approximately the same meaning．同义词指具有相同或近似含义的词。in the case“在某种情况下”，指某种较具体的情况，如：in that case如果是那样的话。in the situation“在某种形势下”，指某种局面或处境。后三选项均不符题意。
