单选题 【B1】
【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"有递进的意思;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 【B2】
【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 【B3】

【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 【B4】
【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 【B5】
【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 【B6】
【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 【B7】
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析:本句缺一修饰 meeting的形容词。often 现只用作副词;usual用作定语时,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"。
