A number of economics and political blogs have recently caught onto the political futures market craze,particularly focusing on Intrade(a popular site where people can bet on,among other things,the presidential election). ( )
A、indefinite time
B、near future
C、prospective time
D、commodities transacted at a future date
【正确答案】：D
【题目解析】：句意：一些经济和政治博客最近捕获到了政治期货市场的热潮，尤其侧重于Intrade（一个可供人们预测总统选举及其他事情的流行网站）。futures在句中的意思是“期货（交易）”，即按购买时商定的价格而在将来一定时期付款交货的商品、货币或有价证券。选项中indefinite time意为“不确定的时间”；near future意为“不久的将来”；prospective time意为“预期的时间”；commodities transacted at a future date意为“在将来的某个日期要交易的商品”。故本题选D 。
