这个问题要看文章的总体结构。

文章第一段写公司层面的price fixing, 第二段写free market国家层面的price fixing, 第三段写Socialist industry层面的price fixing。

就是说，作者从三个方面，即，price fixing的三个方式上构建了整篇文章。

18楼koaland问的第一题也出自这个脉络。

有一定的道理

但我还是觉得 第一种是industrial system itself provides price fixing that it requires就是不需要agreements它自己就price fixing了

第二种是第二段看到的informal price fixing agreements among...

个人觉得第8题答案出自这句话
That each large firm will act with considerationof its own needsand thus avoid selling its products for more than its competitors charge iscommonly recognized by advocates of free-market economic theories. But each large firm will also actwith full consideration of the needs that it has in common with the other largefirms competing for the same customers.

这个要看全文的，全文中提到了两种定价：买方定价和完全市场定价。第一个选项问的是定价的几种途径的话，文章就说过两种，所以是可以回答它吧。

借这个帖子问一下第7题：
7.    According to the author, what is the result of the Soviet Union’s change in economic policy in the 1970’s?
(A) Soviet firms show greater profit.
(B) Soviet firms have less control over the free market.
(C) Soviet firms are able to adjust to technological advances.
(D) Soviet firms have some authority to fix prices.
(E) Soviet firms are more responsive to the free market.

Soviet 本身不就是price fixing的吗？1970年的改变不是说政府给了公司一些定价的自由吗？
那这个change的结果是“have some authority to fix prices”，这要怎么理解？

Economists in the United States have hailed the change as a return to the free market.
美国经济学家为这种被视为向自由市场的回归转变而欢呼。



But Soviet firms are no more subject to prices established by a free market over which they exercise little influence than are capitalist firms; rather, Soviet firms have been given the power to fix prices.
但是，苏联公司被给予定价的权利。
