There is no better example of the value of ______ than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. ______, none of them had any titles(头衔) to show for it. Then, last season, they decided to play together, caring little ______ money and fame. Garnett and Allen ______ Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.
It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the best athletes in the world. They treat every second of every ______ as it is the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. Therefore, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their ______ 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 ______ defense(防卫). His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that _______. When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost ______, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench. ______, they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates. They wanted to ______ 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 ______ a strong relationship. They are ______ just teammates. They are brothers.
The result: the Boston Celtics won the 2008 NBA 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 ______.” If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.

试题分析:当沃尔特‧雷‧阿伦和凯文•加内特加入波士顿凯尔特人后,与原有当家球星全能小前锋保罗•皮尔斯组成了“三大巨头”阵容,但是在这里没有超级巨星,只有无私奉献,为了共同的梦想,他们团结一致、并肩作战、体现了真正的团队精神,终于赢得了NBA总冠军,在本文中作者讲述了他们的这种超强的团队精神。
小题1:C连接词辨析。此句为强调句型,被强调的句子he has aged and been through many battles缺少状语,而由语境可知此处强调时间,所以答案选C。句意:只是当后来他成熟了并且经历了很多次比赛后他才吸取了一个教训,那就是:在团队中没有“我”这个概念!
小题2:C名词辨析。 A.决心;B. 机会;C. 团队精神;D. 优势。从下文内容可知文章讲述的是队员之间的团结协作,所以答案选C。
小题3:D连词辨析。 A.否则; B. 尽管;C.并且;D. 然而。前句讲他们是超级巨星,后句说他们在队里没有头衔,由此判断前后是转折关系,所以答案选D。
小题4:D介词辨析。care about“在乎,在意”care for “照顾,喜欢”根据上下文可知D选项正确。句意:他们不在乎金钱和名誉,决定在一起拼搏。
小题5: A动词辨析。A.加入;B. 注意;C. 说服;D鼓励。由上文they decided to play together可知阿伦、加内特和皮尔斯加入到一个团队中,所以A选项正确。
小题6: B名词辨析。A.细节;B. 练习; C. 同伴;D. 要求。根据as it is the NBA championship可知他们把每次的训练、练习都看作是NBA冠军赛。
小题7:A形容词辨析。 A. 全部的;B. 骄傲的;C. 快乐的;D. 自信的。上文提到顶级球星对待每次练习就像对待NBA冠军赛一样不遗余力,由此可知其他队员也像他们一样全力以赴,所以答案选A。
小题8:D短语辨析。A. 让步,屈服;B. 等待;C.结束;D. 集中于。从上文with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less可知加内特主要去防守,所以D选项正确。
小题9:D动词辨析。A. 帮助;B.决定;C. 在乎;D. 有关系,要紧。本文讲的是凯尔特人的团队合作精神,由此可知他们不在乎个人得失,而以团队利益为重,所以答案选D。
小题10:B副词辨析。A.向前地,继续;B.结束,C离开;D. 在里面。根据下文叙述:他们退出比赛,站在一边为队友加油呐喊可以推断他们这样做是在比赛将近结束时,所以B选项正确。
小题11:A副词辨析。A. 相反; B.终于;C. 然后;D.此外。根据他们不坐在板凳上休息而去呐喊助威可知前后是转折关系,故A选项正确。
小题12:B动词辨析。A. 使。。。冷静;B. 支持;C.组织;D.建议。根据上文对他们的举动的介绍可知答案选B,他们想要去支持队友们。
小题13:D动词辨析。A. 理解;B. 接受;C.喜欢;D. 培养,发展。根据前面的叙述可知他们的这些做法使这个团队更有凝聚力,培养了团队精神,所以答案选D。

小题15:A名词辨析。A. 心脏;B. 人;C.态度;D. 窍门,建议。根据the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.可知正确答案是A。

举一反三
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew the kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. “What’s the matter?” I asked her.
“Tom, ” she said in a voice filled with sadness, “do you know something I don’t?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well…..that checkup(体检) I had several weeks ago….. our doctor ….. did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me….. am I dying ?”
It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just start to live.”
小题1:The writer thought he was a _______ husband in the past.
A.lovely | B.loyal | C.strict | D.selfish |
A.with his family | B.with Evelyn | C.alone | D.with his children |
A.he praised her sweater, which puzzled her |
B.she insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated |
C.he knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her |
D.he was so good to her that she thought she must be dying |
From the beginning, it was obvious that Jessie was traumatized (受精神创伤的). He was afraid of everything: the car, the doors, the stairs, and just about everything else. We couldn’t foresee where Jessie’s fear would take us.
Jessie was with us for about six months, when we became foster parents to a mixed-breed young dog. Jessie did not like her at all. We all lived in a nervous co-existence, until dinnertime. Within moments a food fight erupted between Jessie and this foster child.
It all happened so fast, and I was in the middle. My husband managed to get in between the two dogs, grabbing Jessie by his collar. Jessie screamed all the way down the hall and into the bedroom. I, quickly put the foster dog into her own bedroom and hurried down the hall. The crashing I heard in the bedroom, scared me to death. But nothing prepared me for the scene I witnessed as I opened the bedroom door.
There was my husband, on top of a terrified Jessie, holding back his head. Blood dripped from my husband’s arm. To tell you the truth, as I was sitting beside my husband in the emergency room, I just didn’t know what to do with Jessie. I was so angry at that dog.
Day after day, week after week, however, my husband faithfully trained the dog that others would have put down. As his arm healed over the next months, something rare and beautiful began to take place. Jessie, under my husband’s gentle persuasion, began to understand and obey. And Jessie adored him. I could see, that although the tempest had ruled Jessie’s former life, affirmation and love had calmed the storm.
小题1:Before being adopted by the writer, Jessie had _______.
A.suffered a lot |
B.Lived a happy life |
C.lived on the road half a year |
D.often fought against other dogs |
A.happy | B.disappointed |
C.angry | D.worried |
A.his own behavior |
B.the writer’s fault |
C.Jessie’s bite |
D.The new foster dog |
A.A Dog Named Jessie |
B.Love Calmed the Storm |

But major league baseball didn’t seem much of a possibility for a girl, even an athletic one like Sally, so her father and mother talked her into taking tennis lessons when she was twelve. At first she hated to trade in her baseball bat for a tennis racket, but it wasn’t long before she started to win tournaments in her new sport. “ Tennis became much more fun when I started winning,” Sally remembers. Soon a row of trophies (奖牌)replaced her box of baseball cards, and tennis star Billie Jean King replaced Dodger shortstop Maury Wills as her sports idol.
Sally first became interested in the space program in 1962 when astronaut John Glenn orbited the earth in his Mercury space capsule. Sally was ten years old at the time, but she remembers the launch and the splashdown (掉落) as if they happened yesterday. The girl who used to memorize batting averages became a space fan. She quickly learned the name of every NASA astronaut(there were only eight of them in 1962), the date of every launch, and the name and number of every spacecraft from Freedom 7 to Skylab 3. She could tell you the speed of light (186,300 miles per second), the distance to the moon (238,860 miles), and the names of the three nearest stars( the Sun, Alpha Centauri, and Barnard’s Star).
By the time she was sixteen, Sally had decided to become an astrophysicist, a scientist who studies space. She had also become a nationally ranked tennis player. She remembers yawning(打哈欠) through an important tennis match on June 20, 1969, after staying up all night to watch Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon. Sally lost the match.
As Sally got older, many of her friends started playing professional tennis. Some of them tried to talk her into quitting school to join them on the professional tennis circuit. But Sally said no. “ Black holes are more interesting to me than backhands,” she told them. Now she knows that she made the right choice, but in 1970 Sally had no way of knowing that NASA would open the space program to women.
小题1:At the age of twelve, Sally Ride ________.
A.was interested in playing tennis |
B.was persuaded into taking tennis training |
C.began to become interested in space |
D.decided to become an astrophysicist |
A.she was tired |
B.she couldn’t decide whether to be an astrophysicist |
C.she couldn’t decide whether to take part in a professional tennis circuit |
D.she wasn’t interested in tennis |
A.had been a professional baseball player |
B.had never been a professional player |
C.had never been a woman astrophysicist |
D.wasn’t interested in space program |
A.the name of the neareast star |
B.a place where the American astronauts and the crew work |
C.a place where astronauts and the crew are trained |
D.a container of the crew and astronauts detached(分离) from a rocket |
A.According to the story, Sally Ride is a woman astrophysicist. |
B.The ambition of becoming a woman astronaut was made in Sally’s childhood. |
C.Freedom 7 and Skylab 3 are the names of the nearest stars. |
D.Sally didn’t quit her schooling at the time as she knew sooner or later NASA would hire woman astronaut. |
On September 3, the American tennis player said a tearful goodbye to his 21-year career after a third-round defeat in the US Open. The 36-year-old tried his best, but was unable to keep up with German Benjamin Becker, more than ten years his junior.
"The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn"t say is what I"ve found," Agassi said to the fans. "I have found inspiration and you willed me to succeed." It was an emotional speech at the end of a long career.
Agassi hated tennis as a teenager as much as he loves it now. His father made him play when he was a child. He got bored, and became a rebel(叛逆). The strict training that his father pushed upon him got in the way of his wild lifestyle. He grew hair long, wore colorful clothes and spat at a judge. Over the years, he has made bad jokes during news conferences. Asked what he would say to his 17-year-old self, Agassi answered, "I would say, I understand you a lot more than I want to be you."
The turning point in Agassi"s career came in 1992 when he unexpectedly won his first Grand Slam (大满贯赛事)at Wimbledon. It was the first time Agassi understood what real champions finally understand: winning is a test of courage and not just power, it"s a marathon, not a sprint(短跑).
And what a marathon Agassi was about to begin. He cut his long hair, got fitter and tightened up emotionally. On the court, he ranked No. 1 for almost two years. His lowest point came in 1997 when his ranking dropped to No. 141. He didn"t quit though. "I knew that I would try to get the most out of myself every day from that day forward. That was my promise," he said. "That never stopped."
小题1:The underlined phrase "more than ten years his junior" in the second paragraph means _________.
A.having lower ranking than Agassi for more than ten years |
B.having higher ranking than Agassi for more than ten years |
C.more than ten years older than Agassi |
D.more than ten years younger than Agassi |
A.He felt angry with the judge |
B.He felt satisfied with the scoreboard |
C.He felt regretful but encouraged |
D.He felt in great desperation |
A.after 1997 Agassi began to take up marathon besides tennis |
B.Agassi began to play tennis before he was fifteen |
C.Agassi hesitated to quit his sports career |
D.the reason why Agassi lost his last competition was that he lacked courage and power |
A.0-2 | B.0-3 | C.1-3 | D.2-3 |
