解答 36-40 DGCAF
36题答案：D 考查学生对文章的理解和主题句的选择．根据后文可知，文章用种西红柿做例子，讲述市场的概念．故本题答案为D选项．
37题答案：G 考查上下文的语境理解．上文提到你在为市场生产，下文是：如果人们不买你的西红柿，你就会停止种植．所以，中间句应该是：你的想法受市场的指导．故本题答案为G选项．
38题答案：C 考查上下文的语境理解．根据下文You may spend money in stores，supermarkets，gas stations and restaurants．Still you are buying from the market．（你可能会在商店、超市、加油站还有餐馆里面花钱，但是你还是在市场花钱）可知本题答案为C选项"当你花销自己的收入时，你是在从市场购买物品"．
39题答案：A 考查上下文的语境理解．根据下文的对应词concrete（具体的）可知，这里和选项中的abstract（抽象的）相对，故选A．
40题答案；F 考查上下文的语境理解．根据下文中的It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to do（它告诉你你正在使用精力与资源做一些市场不希望你做的事情）可知选F"市场会告诉你一些什么"．
