第6题
The second meaning of the word "market" is used in formal economic models. Here the equations that explain the demand and supply of a commodity such as money are sometimes grouped together. Although money is traded in all markets, the reasons for supplying and holding money are thought to be specific enough to warrant separate equations. This is an abstract way to think of the money market.
New financial assets are traded in primary markets. Financial assets that are resold are traded in secondary markets. Finns that specialize in trading either new or reissued financial assets are called primary and secondary dealers, respectively. Both new and reissued securities are traded in many markets, such as the U. S money market. The New York Stock Exchange, however, is a secondary market.
A financial market may be thought of as an ordinary market in which traders may buy or sell particular financial commodities.
A.Right.
B.Wrong.
C.Doesn't say.

What Is Market?
The word market is used in a number of ways, There is a stock market and an auto- mobile market, a retail market for furniture and a wholesale market for furniture. One person may be going to the market; another may plan to market a product. What, then, is a market? A market may be defined as a place where buyers and sellers meet, goods or services are offered for sale, and .transfers of ownership occur. A market .may also be defined as the demand made by a certain group of potential buyers for goods or services. For instance, there is a farm market for petroleum products. The terms market and demand are often used interchangeably (可互换地) ; they may also be used jointly as market demand.
These definitions are not sufficiently precise to be useful to us here. For business purposes we define a market as people or organizations with wants (needs) to satisfy, money to spend, and the willingness to spend it. Thus in the market demand for any given product or service, there are three factors to consider--people or organizations with wants needs), their purchasing power, and their buying behavior,
We shall employ, the dictionary definition of needs: the lack of anything that is required, desired, or useful. We do not limit needs to the narrow physiological (生理的) requirements of food, clothing and shelter essential for survival. In our discussion the words needs and wants are used synonymously(同义地) and interchangeably. In a strict interpretation, however, needs would refer to such basic physiological requirements as food. clothing, and shelter, while wants .would be non-basic preferences. However, in our affluent (丰富的) society, little is to be gained by trying to differentiate (区分) between the two. Many of us would see as needs some items that are far beyond food, clothing and shelter.
第 16 题 Markets can be classified according to what is sold on a market and how goods are sold.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned

?Read the text below about after-sale service.
?In most of the lines 41—52 there is one extra word. It is either grammatically incorrect or does not fit in with the meaning of the text. Some lines, however, are correct.
?If a line is correct, write CORRECT on your Answer Sheet.

0 Service is the prompt delivery of the product. It is courteous sales personnel. It is a
00 user or service manual modified to meet for your customer's needs. It is ready
41 access to a service facility. It is knowledgeable, cost-effective maintenance, and
42 repair, or replacement. Service is dealer support. Service varies by the product type,
43 the quality of the product, the price of the product, and the distribution channel of
44 employed. So for export products that require no service - such as food products,
45 some consumer goods, and commercial disposables, the issue is resolved when
46 once distribution channels have been identified. On the other hand, because the
47 characteristics of the consumer durables and some consumables demand that
48 service be available. For such products, service is a feature that expected by the
49 consumer. In fact, foreign buyers of industrial goods typically place service at the
50 forefront of the criteria they evaluate when they making a purchase decision. An
51 exporting firm' s strategy and market entry decision may be dictate that it does not
52 provide with after-sale service. It may determine that its export objective is the single or multiple opportunistic entry into export markets. Although this approach may work in the short term, subsequent product offerings will be less successful as buyers recall the failure to provide expected levels of service. As a result, market development and sales expenditures may result in one-time sales.
