【解析】本文是一篇應(yīng)用文，介紹了如何高效地組織大型會議。

【1】C此句位于句末，起承上啟下的作用。上文說當(dāng)人們面臨大型會議的任務(wù)時，往往感到有巨大的壓力，下文介紹了高效組織大型會議的幾條建議，故此空是承上啟下的過渡句，故選C。organize是關(guān)鍵詞。

【2】D根據(jù)本段小標(biāo)題Write down your goals.及前一句You will need to clearly define what you hope to accomplish with this conference because this will shape the rest of your decisions.（你需要清楚地規(guī)定你希望在這次會議上完成什么，因為這將決定你的其他決定。）可知，D項“知道你想要達到什么能減輕前進的壓力”符合本段內(nèi)容，承接上一句。故選D。accomplish與achieve相照應(yīng)。

【3】F本段小標(biāo)題是Develop your budget.，與錢有關(guān)，與錢有關(guān)的只有F項。關(guān)鍵詞budget與how much money相照應(yīng)。

【4】B此空考查段落標(biāo)題。本段介紹了選擇會議地點時的注意事項，故選B。

【5】E根據(jù)段落主題句關(guān)鍵詞help from the staff of the conference site.和空格前一句If you have chosen a site that is known for holding conferences, you can seek help from the staff there as organizing meeting is what they do every day.可知，在組織會議時您可以尋求舉辦會議地點處的工作人員的幫助，充分利用這個重要的資源。故選E。
