新概念上'some larger unit'的unit为什么没s?词典上这是可数名词
On the village green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is involved, it is possible to play simply for the fun and exercise: but as soon as a the question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel that you and 【some larger unit】 will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instincts are aroused.

Answer 1

some
adjective
1.being an undetermined or unspecified one:Some person may object.
2.(used with plural nouns) certain:Some days I stay home.
3.of a certain unspecified number,amount,degree,etc.:to some extent.
4.unspecified but considerable in number,amount,degree,etc.:We talked for some time.He was heresome weeks.
5.Informal.of impressive or remarkable quality,consequence,extent,etc.:That was some storm.
some的形容词形式有5种,最常用的在这是义项4（表示一些）,这个后面一定是复数.
在这篇课文这个句子里some是用的第一项含义,表示某个,不具体的一个.Some person may object.是它的例句,可能有人会反对,但是不确定是哪一个,只能说某一个.
unit是可数,但是这里就是要说某个更大的单位/个体
