①The American economic system is organized around a basically private-enterprise, market-oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most.

　　分析：此句主干为The American economic system is organized around a... economy。在economy后面是一个以in which引导的定语从句in which consumers largely determine，而这个从句中又有一个宾语从句what shall be produced。在定语从句中又有一个by引导的分词结构spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most作状语，说明消费者是如何决定应生产何种产品，而这个方式状语中又有一个定语从句that they want most。

　　译文：从根本上说，美国经济体制是围绕私有企业、在以市场为导向的经济基础上建立起来的。在这种体制下需要生产什么在很大程度上是消费者通过到市场花钱购买他们最需要的商品和服务来决定的。

　　1.【正确答案】[D]

　　文章第1段最后一句是从生产者与消费者两方的愿望对照来说的，而且，该段第1句也首先陈述了该文所要谈的内容。[A]、[C]的意思与本文的主旨不相符合，因为，工资关系反映的是劳资双方的关系而不是生产者与消费者的关系。[B]中“overstate”意为“夸大、夸张”，这个选择项的语义与文章的内容不相干。
