Question

When an NBA player is young he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later when he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson: there is no “I ” in “team”.

There is no better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. Yet, none of them had any titles to show for it. Then, last season, they decided to sacrifice money and individual statistics to play together. Garnett and Allen joined Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.

It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the most intense athletes in the world. They treat every second of every practice like it is the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. So, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their full effort too.  

Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He used to shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and focused on defense. His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that mattered.  

When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost over, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench. Instead, they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates. They wanted to support their friends and teammates.

Now, the guys who don't play know they can still affect the game by cheering so they scream and cheer when Garnett, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have developed a strong relationship. They are more than just teammates. They are brothers. 

The result: the Boston Celtics won the championship and are considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year.  

There is a saying that goes, "A successful team beats with one heart." If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.

試題分析：本文通過(guò)NBA聯(lián)盟中的凱爾特人隊(duì)獲得總冠軍的經(jīng)歷告訴我們團(tuán)隊(duì)合作要遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)重于個(gè)人英雄主義。

1.C 主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章的主題段第一段When an NBA player is young he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later when he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson: there is no “I ” in “team”. 和There is no better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics.說(shuō)明本文以凱爾特人隊(duì)為例子告訴我們團(tuán)隊(duì)合作的重要性，故C正確。

2.B 推理題。在文章第二中，皮爾斯，加內(nèi)特，和雷阿倫他們?cè)谧约旱年?duì)伍中都是超級(jí)巨星，但是都沒(méi)有能夠獲得總冠軍�；貋�(lái)來(lái)到凱爾特人隊(duì)以后運(yùn)用團(tuán)隊(duì)合作，獲得了總冠軍。正是為了說(shuō)明團(tuán)隊(duì)合作要比個(gè)人英雄主義更重要。故B正確。

3.A 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第四段后三行But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and focused on defense. His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that mattered.可知皮爾斯在雷阿倫和加內(nèi)特到來(lái)以后投籃的數(shù)量減少了，而不是成為更好的射手，他集中注意力于防守了。故A項(xiàng)說(shuō)法錯(cuò)誤。

4.D 推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)4段可知得到在比賽中他們相互鼓勵(lì)，激勵(lì)，加內(nèi)特等不斷地鼓勵(lì)年輕人努力取得勝利。故ABC三項(xiàng)說(shuō)法是正確的，D項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與文章不符。故D項(xiàng)符合題意。
