词汇理解
A market is commonly thought of as a place where commodities are bought and sold. But there are markets for things other than commodities in the usual sense such as【C1】________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 confined. Buyers and sellers may be【C2】________over the whole world and instead of actually meeting together in a market-place they may deal with one another through telephone, telegram, cable or letter. Though dealings are【C3】________to a particular place, the dealers may consist wholly or in part of agents acting on instructions from clients far away. Thus agents buy meat at Smithfield on behalf of retail butchers all over England and brokers on the London Stock Exchange buy and sell【C4】________on instructions from clients all over the world. We must therefore【C5】________a market as any area over which buyers and sellers are in such close touch with one another that the prices obtainable in one part of the market【C6】________the prices paid in other parts.
Modern means of【C7】________are so rapid that a buyer can discover what price a seller is asking, and can accept it if he wishes, although he may be thousands of miles away. Thus the market for anything is,【C8】________, the whole world, but things have, normally, only a local or national market in fact, because nearly the whole demand is【C9】________in one locality. The main reason why many things have not a world market is that they are【C10】________or difficult to transport.
A) securities E) accidentally I) define M) communications
B) radiating F) costly J) sincerities N) resembled
C) affect G) restricted K) potentially O) real
D) scattered H) authentic L) concentrating
1.【C1】
O
解析：此处需填入修饰estate markets的词。“房地产”的固定表达是real estate或real property，故real正确。
2.【C2】
D
解析：空格前的may be表明此处需填入形容词或分词，且能与over搭配。由后文and instead of…可知买卖双方可以用电话、电报、电缆或信件互相交易，而不用真正地在市场上碰头。因此他们应该是“分布于”世界各地，故scattered“分散，分布”正确。
3.【C3】
G
解析：空格位于are和to之间，故此处需填入形容词或分词。此句意思是：即使交易(dealings)可能……在一个特定的地方。呼应上文there may be no particular place to which dealings are confined“并不一定要有一个特定的地方来进行交易”。故此处应填入与confined语义一致的分词restricted“限定的”。
4.【C4】
A
解析：此处需填入名词，作buy and sell的宾语，表示伦敦证券交易所里的经纪人根据世界各地客户的指令买卖什么东西。与stock exchange和brokers属同一范畴的是securities “证券”。
5.【C5】
I
解析：此处需填入谓语动词，由must可知是原形。该段首句以market的一般含义引出对market这一概念的讨论。由therefore以及as后的部分可知，此处是对market重新下定义。define…as为网定搭配，表示“把……定义为”。
6.【C6】
C
解析：此处需填入谓语动词，主语中心词是the prices，宾语中心词是the prices， 一处地方的价格会“影响”另外一些地方的价格，故affect“影响”符合上下文语义。
7.【C7】
M
解析：此处需填入修饰means(方式)的名词。根据下文，千里之外的买方可以了解卖方要价并决定是否购买，所以communications“通讯”正确，表示现代通讯方式发展迅速。
8.【C8】
K
解析：空格位于is与表语the whole world之中，为插入语，故需填入副词。本句句首的Thus表明这里是对前文的总结：任何一样东西的市场是世界性的。接着用but转折，说明实际情况是“商品交易通常只在本地或国内市场进行”。由此可以推断，任何一样东西的市场都有可能是世界性的，故选potentially“可能，潜在地”。
9.【C9】
L
解析：空格在is之后，介词in之前，需填入形容词或分词。结合上下文的local和locality，本题大意应该是，整个需求都集中于一个区域，故concentrating “集中”符合句意。
10.【C10】
F
解析：此处需填入形容词或分词，应与difficult并列同属消极意义的词。cos
