单选题
  • A. still
  • B. even
  • C. somehow
  • D. however
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 根据上下文,even(甚至,即使)的词义最为合适。本句意思是“政治家、商人、工人,甚至罪犯都知道为了成功他们必须加入组织。”still表示“还要,甚至更”含递进的意思;somehow表示“不知怎的,以某种方式”;而however表示“但是”,是转折词。
单选题
  • A. sociable
  • B. interested
  • C. successful
  • D. extrovert
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 根据文章第一句:对大多数活动来说,一大群人要比一个人完成的任务多。accomplish表示“实现计划,完成任务”,而for example引出的句子是用以说明这一观点的,故选successful是合适的。
单选题
  • A. powerful
  • B. strong
  • C. great
  • D. forcing
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 四个选项词义很相近,都表示“很大的影响”,但powerful更强调能力、权威和影响。根据上下文powerful最为合适。该句意思是“由于数量大通常都有力量,因此工会在工资和公司政策上要比单个的工人有更大影响。”
单选题
  • A. can
  • B. think
  • C. do
  • D. gain
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 本句为比较级从句,do作为助动词,替代have。
单选题
  • A. what
  • B. at, which
  • C. where
  • D. in which
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 首先这是个定语从句,what是错误选项。at which和in which不正确是因为介词错用。which指代club和team,搭配上介词后分别应该是at a club和on a team。B和D项都不能同时指代两个。where为关系副词,表示“在那里”,可以同时指代两个地点。故C是正确答案。
单选题
  • A. Whether
  • B. When
  • C. If
  • D. Although
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 本句为真实条件句,用if引导。Whether引导间接疑问句或选择条件句,although引导让步状语从句,而when在引导条件句时,通常表示已存在的情况,意为“既然”。
单选题
  • A. regular
  • B. often
  • C. usual
  • D. incidental
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 本句缺一修饰meeting的形容词。often现只用做副词;usual用做定语时,意思为“惯常的”,如:usual time(place)老时间(地方);incidental意为“偶然发生的,偶尔的”,与本句意义不符合。regular意为“定期的,定时的”。本句意思是“如果你有一种爱好,如下棋、集邮或弹奏某种乐器,你就应该参加一个俱乐部,这个俱乐部有定期的聚会来谈论这些活动。”
单选题
  • A. clubs
  • B. people
  • C. members
  • D. societies
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 本句意思是“其他(俱乐部)成员会帮助你学得更多。”
单选题
  • A. organized
  • B. set
  • C. arranged
  • D. gathered
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 本句意思为“一个小组必须组织得很好,否则就会失败。”organize和group搭配最合适。
单选题
  • A. introduce
  • B. show
  • C. direct
  • D. explain
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 本句意思是“所有的成员都应一起活动,并选出好的领导来指导或组织他们的活动。”“show their activities展示他们的活动”显然意思不对;introduce their activities和explain their activities和本句意思不符合。
