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。
小題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。
小題2:B 推理題。在文章第二中，皮爾斯，加內(nèi)特，和雷阿倫他們在自己的隊(duì)伍中都是超級巨星，但是都沒有能夠獲得總冠軍�；貋韥淼絼P爾特人隊(duì)以后運(yùn)用團(tuán)隊(duì)合作，獲得了總冠軍。正是為了說明團(tuán)隊(duì)合作要比個(gè)人英雄主義更重要。故B正確。
小題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)說法錯(cuò)誤。
小題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)說法是正確的，D項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與文章不符。故D項(xiàng)符合題意。
點(diǎn)評：本文通過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。本文要求考生在閱讀理解整體語篇的基礎(chǔ)上，把握文章的真正內(nèi)涵。要吃透文章的字面意思，從字里行間捕捉有用的提示和線索，這是推理的前提和基礎(chǔ);要對文字的表面信息進(jìn)行挖掘加工，由表入里，由淺入深，從具體到抽象，從非凡到一般，通過分析、綜合、判定等，進(jìn)行深層處理，符合邏輯地推理。不能就是論事，斷章取義，以偏概全。要忠實(shí)于原文，以文章提供的事實(shí)和線索為依據(jù)。

I did little preparation and my only goal was to finish. On the day of the race, it was 37  hot. I remember struggling at about the 5th mile, thinking, “I am never doing this again!”
Have you ever felt that way about something? You eagerly choose a goal 38     soon realize it is 39 to achieve than you imagined it would be. That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. Then 40 a decisive moment. Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me. I felt 41  that I was younger than him but I couldn’t keep up with him.

The sun is shining when I get on No. 151 bus. We passengers sit jammed together in heavy clothes. No one speaks. That’s one of the unwritten rules of Chicago commuting. Although we see the same faces every day, we prefer to hide behind our newspapers. The phenomenon is striking: people who sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their distance.
As the bus approaches the Magnificent Mile, a voice suddenly rings out: “Attention! Attention!” Papers rattle (發(fā)出細(xì)小聲). Necks crane (伸長). “This is your driver speaking.”
We look at the back of the driver’s head. His voice has authority.
“All of you put your papers down.”
The papers come down, an inch at a time. The driver waits. The papers are folded and placed on our laps.
“Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go ahead.”
Amazingly, we all do it. Still, no one smiles.
I face an older woman, her head wrapped tightly in a red scarf. I see her nearly every day. Our eyes meet. We wait, unblinking, for the next order from the driver.
“Now, repeat after me…” It is a command, delivered in the tones of a drill sergeant (操練軍士). “Good morning, neighbor!”
Our voices are weak and timid. For many of us, these are the first words we have spoken today. But we say them at the same time, like schoolchildren, to the strangers beside us.
We smile and can’t help it. We have said it; the barrier has been broken. Good morning, neighbor. It is not so hard after all. Some of us repeat it. Others shake hands. Many laugh.
The bus driver says nothing more. He doesn’t need to. Not a single newspaper goes back up. I hear laughter, a warm sound I have never heard before on bus No. 151. This day is starting off better than most.
小題1:On hearing the sudden utterance of “Attention!”, the passengers ___________.
A．stopped reading and put down their newspapers immediately
B．sat still without response
C．looked up from the newspapers to see who was speaking
D．were frightened
小題2:The underlined word “commuting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ___________.
A．long-distance ride
B．daily traveling between home and work
C．communication technology
D．behavior patterns
小題3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The passengers on the crowded bus were so absorbed in reading their newspapers that no one spoke.
B．When the bus driver said nothing more, the passengers picked up and read their newspapers again.
C．The passengers didn’t follow the driver’s instruction at first.
D．The passengers were physically close together but mentally they kept each other at a terrible distance.
小題4:What would be the best title for the text?
A．The Warmth of Communication
B．The Exchange of Information
C．The Power of Observation
D．The Attitude to Loneliness

I’ve often had difficulty remembering names. Proper nouns seldom found easy purchase in my brain unless I consciously repeat them over and over again. Needless to say, when people leave my life their names are often soon forgotten. This can have some embarrassing consequences.
Five or six years after high school graduation, I was reading carefully the shelves of a local auto supply shop when I noticed someone familiar enter the store. I knew him. He was in my graduation class and although he was not a good friend of mine, we had shared many classes and knew each other well. I began to feel an increasing sense of foreboding（預(yù)感）and quickly hid behind the nearest shelving unit. I should have known his name. How many times had I heard it during class role call? How many conversations had we had in the hallways?
I easily remembered his surname, “Ricca”. His was a large, well know family in the town of my childhood. I couldn’t have just acknowledged him using his surname. I might as well have admitted forgetting his name, which was not a choice. One’s name is important to every person’s identity. Not remembering an old acquaintance’s name is similar to forgetting your wife’s favourite flower, an embarrassing mistake of the highest order.
I quickly ran through the alphabet (字母表), a strategy I developed for just such an occasion. Abe? No, Adam, Andy, Bob? No, Bill? Yes! Bill sounded right. Of course, his name is Bill. I confidently made my way around the shelves and spoke to him as he was studying some cans of motor oil.
“Bill, how are you doing?”, I said offering him my hand which he took with a friendly shake. We talked a bit, some amusing remarks about our college experiences and such. I took his hand again, said how good it was to see him and gave him a happy wave, calling him by name again, as I left.
I was so pleased that I avoided yet another awkward encounter(相遇) that I could feel a big smile on my face as I paid the cashier and exited the store. As I marched merrily across the parking lot, an awful thought came into my mind. John, his name is John! Where did Bill come from? Was that one of my brothers? The sudden realization of what I did made me stop in my tracks. My head dropped when I realized my mistake. There was no way Mrs. Ricca would name one of her sons “Bill”. “Billerica” was the name of a town just north of Boston.
小題1:Which one can show the charge of the writer’s feelings?
a. guilty   b. anxious   c. embarrassed   d. happy   e sure
A．a(chǎn)-d-b-e-cB．d-e-b-a-cC．c-b-e-d-aD．b-c-d-e-
小題2:According to the passage, which statement is NOT sure?
A．Forgetting your wife’s favourite flower is a very serious mistake.
B．It is common to call an old acquaintance his given name.
C．The writer was in his twenties when he met John in the store.
D．John and the writer studied in the same college.
小題3:The underlined word “acknowledge” probably means “      ” here.
A．a(chǎn)cceptB．greetC．thankD．a(chǎn)dmit
小題4:We can infer from the passage that _______.
A．The writer must have experienced such embarrassment many times
B．The writer had difficulty remembering names because he was getting old
C．Running through the alphabet was always an effective way of remembering an acquaintance’s name for the writer
D．Mrs. Ricca would have named one of her sons “Bill” if Billerica was not the name of a town north of Boston

The advertisement appeared in my e-mail—“1-800-Flowers: Mother’s Day Madness —for just $39.99！” I almost clicked on it, forgetting that those services would not be needed this year. My mother, Margaret Feiddman, died at the age of 89, and so this is my first Mother’s Day without my mom.
In my childhood, my mom appeared to be a typical suburban housewife of her generation. She sewed many of my sisters’ clothes, including both of their wedding dresses and boy’s suits for me. And on the side, she won several national bridge tournaments(橋牌錦標(biāo)賽).
My mom left many indelible marks on me. The first was to never lose heart and to be independent. My dad died suddenly when I was 19. My mom worked hard for a couple of years. But in1975, I won a scholarship to study in Britain and my mom surprised us all by announcing that she decided to go with me. When I met difficulties, she always said: “You’re a man, so never lose heart, never be knocked down, and try your best to pursue(追求) your dreams.”
My mom’s other big influence on me is a sense of optimism. She had taken her knocks. But every time life knocked her down, she got up and kept on marching forward, encouraged by the saying that pessimists(悲觀者) are usually right, optimists are usually wrong, but most great changes are made by optimists.
How I wish to listen to my mother’s words, and give my best regards on this Mother’s Day, but I have no chance now! My best friends, treasure(珍惜)your mother’s love!
小題1:The author mentioned the advertisement to ___.
A．show he’s tired of the advertisements
B．explain he missed his mother very much
C．make you believe that he was very kind
D．urge the readers to buy the present for their mothers
小題2:What experience of the author’s mother surprised the author?
A．That she volunteered to go to Britain with her son.
B．That she gained knowledge all by herself.
C．That she did all the housework by herself.
D．That she won several national bridge tournaments.
小題3:What dose the underlined word “indelible” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?
A．be out of controlB．be easy to remember
C．be destroyed easilyD．be impossible to forget
小題4:We can know about the author’s mother that_____.
A．She encouraged the author to pursue his dreams
B．she felt very lonely in her late life
C．She never received a present from her children
D．she passed away before the author’s father
小題5:Which can be the best title for the passage?
A．My Great MotherB．Mother and I
C．Treasure Mother’s LoveD．Mother’s Day Madness
