试题分析: 本文用卖西红柿意味着你在生产一个市场，同样也在为市场生产为例，列举了其他，例如照看病人，医生，工人等，都在生产一个市场，它告诉你你在用你的能源，资源来做市场不想让你做的事情。

【1】D考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是：如果你在自家后院出售西红柿就是为市场中进行生产。所以这里选D（市场是一个概念。）与上下文一致。

【2】G 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：如果没人买你的西红柿。空后的意思是：你就会停止生产。所以这里选G（你的生产是由市场决定的。）与上下文一致。

【3】C考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是：你从商店，超市，汽车站，饭店消费。所以这里选C（当你花费你的收入时你在为市场买东西。）与上下文一致。

【4】A考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是：但是对于某个人或者公司来说，它就是生产然后卖掉。所以这里选A（市场也是一个抽象的概念。）与上下文一致。

【5】F考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：如果没人买你的西红柿，你不久就会得到消息。这空后的意思是：它告诉你你在用你的能源，资源来做市场不想让你做的事情。所以这里选F（市场在告诉你一些事情。）与上下文一致。
