问题     According to certain beer commercials, the contemporary version of success 【B1】______ in moving up to a premium brand that costs a dime or so more per bottle. Credit-card companies would have you 【B2】______ success inheres in owning their particular piece of plastic.
    【B3】______ the flag of success, modern-style, liberal arts colleges are withering 【B4】______ business schools are burgeoning, and yet even business schools are having an increasingly hard time 【B5】______ faculty members, because teaching isn’t 【B6】______ "successful" enough. Amid a broad consensus 【B7】______ there is a glut of lawyers and an epidemic of strangling litigation, record numbers of young people continue to flock to law school 【B8】______ , for the individual practitioner, a law degree is still considered a safe ticket.
    Many, by external 【B9】______ , will be "successes". Yet there is a deadening and dangerous flaw in their philosophy: It has little room, little sympathy and less respect for the noble failure, for the person who 【B10】______ past the limits, who 【B11】______ gloriously high and falls unashamedly 【B12】______
    That sort of ambition doesn’t have much place in a world 【B13】______ success is proved by worldly reward 【B14】______ by accomplishment itself. That sort of ambition is increasingly thought of as the domain of irredeemable eccentrics, 【B15】______ people who haven’t quite caught on—and there is great social pressure not to be one of them.
    The irony is that today’s success-chasers seem obsessed with the idea of not settling. Yet in doggedly 【B16】______ the rather brittle species of success now in fashion, they are 【B17】______ themselves to a chokingly narrow swath of turf along the entire 【B18】______ of human possibilities. Does it ever 【B19】______ to them that, frequently, success is what people settle for 【B20】______ they can’t think of something noble enough to be worth failing at?   
【B13】
选项 A、whose
B、where
C、which
D、that
答案B
解析 本题考查关系副词。空格处的词引导的是定语从句，其先行词表示地点，所以，引导这个从句的应该是关系副词where。句意是：“在一个成功是由世俗的奖赏______来证明的世界里，这种抱负是没有多少容身之处的。”
