问题                     A Society Without a Formal Authority
    In the seventeenth century, European soldiers who came across some Indian groups in the western Great Lakes found that several native tribes(部落)were living in the area without a formal leadership system. They appeared to be "quite friendly with each other without a【B1】______authority" !
    All members of the【B2】______knew what was required of them by lifelong familiarity with the tasks of the area. These【B3】______tended to be simple, since the Indians ’ rate of social change was slow.【B4】______, although subgroups such as soldiers had recognized leaders, no real authority was required. Rather than giving direct orders(which were considered rough), members of the tribes would arouse others to act by examples.
    It would be difficult, if not impossible, to【B5】______out such a system in our own society. Most of us have grown up under one【B6】______or another for as long as we can remember. Our parents, our teachers, our bosses, our government all have the recognized right under certain conditions to tell us【B7】______to do. The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workablesociety without it. We have been used to【B8】______on authority to get things done.
    Of course, the major reason why the Indian system would not be【B9】______for us is that our society is too large. The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform often under tight time and resource limitations could not be treated by the Indian system. In modern societies, the formal authority system is necessary to【B10】______any social objectives.

【B9】
选项
答案A
解析 此句需要填一个形容词，备选单词有两个形容词，formal前面已用过，故排除，现只剩下suitable(合适的，适合的)；此外，be suitable for是固定搭配，意思是“对……是适合的”。所以无论是用排除法还是根据常见搭配，此题都应选A。
