分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章向我們介紹了我們可以在自己家中后院種植西紅柿出售．

解答 36．D  細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)后文"If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market．"可知，文章用種西紅柿做例子，講述市場的概念．故選D項．
37．G  細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)上文"you are producing for the market．"可知，你在為市場生產(chǎn)；根據(jù)下文"If people stop buying tomatoes，you will stop producing them．"可知，如果人們不買你的西紅柿，你就會停止種植．所以本句應填：你的努力受市場的指導．故選G項．
38．C  細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)下文"You may spend money in stores，supermarkets，gas stations and restaurants．Still you are buying from the market．"可知，無論你是在商店、超市、加氣站還是飯店花錢，你仍然是從市場買東西．故選C項．
39．A  細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)下文"But for each person or business that is making and selling something，it is very concrete．"可知，對于每一個從市場買或賣東西的人或企業(yè)來說，市場非常具體．其中concrete（具體的）和A項中的abstract相對應，故選A項．
40．F  細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)下文中"It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to do．"可知，它正告訴你你把精力和資源用在市場不想讓你做的方面．故選F項．

點評 考查學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
