Question

When an NBA player is young, he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later ______ 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 ______ than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. ______, none of them had any titles（頭銜） 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（防衛(wèi)）. 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.

【解析】

試題分析：當(dāng)沃爾特‧雷‧阿倫和凱文•加內(nèi)特加入波士頓凱爾特人后，與原有當(dāng)家球星全能小前鋒保羅•皮爾斯組成了“三大巨頭”陣容，但是在這里沒有超級(jí)巨星，只有無私奉獻(xiàn)，為了共同的夢(mèng)想，他們團(tuán)結(jié)一致、并肩作戰(zhàn)、體現(xiàn)了真正的團(tuán)隊(duì)精神，終于贏得了NBA總冠軍，在本文中作者講述了他們的這種超強(qiáng)的團(tuán)隊(duì)精神�！�

1.C連接詞辨析。此句為強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，被強(qiáng)調(diào)的句子he has aged and been through many battles缺少狀語(yǔ)，而由語(yǔ)境可知此處強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)間，所以答案選C。句意：只是當(dāng)后來他成熟了并且經(jīng)歷了很多次比賽后他才吸取了一個(gè)教訓(xùn)，那就是：在團(tuán)隊(duì)中沒有“我”這個(gè)概念!

2.C名詞辨析。 A.決心；B. 機(jī)會(huì)；C. 團(tuán)隊(duì)精神；D. 優(yōu)勢(shì)。從下文內(nèi)容可知文章講述的是隊(duì)員之間的團(tuán)結(jié)協(xié)作，所以答案選C。

3.D連詞辨析。 A.否則；         B. 盡管；C.并且；D. 然而。前句講他們是超級(jí)巨星，后句說他們?cè)陉?duì)里沒有頭銜，由此判斷前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以答案選D。

4.D介詞辨析。care about“在乎，在意”care for “照顧，喜歡”根據(jù)上下文可知D選項(xiàng)正確。句意：他們不在乎金錢和名譽(yù)，決定在一起拼搏。

5. A動(dòng)詞辨析。A.加入；B. 注意；C. 說服；D鼓勵(lì)。由上文they decided to play together可知阿倫、加內(nèi)特和皮爾斯加入到一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)中，所以A選項(xiàng)正確。

6. B名詞辨析。A.細(xì)節(jié)；B. 練習(xí)； C. 同伴；D. 要求。根據(jù)as it is the NBA championship可知他們把每次的訓(xùn)練、練習(xí)都看作是NBA冠軍賽。

7.A形容詞辨析。 A. 全部的；B. 驕傲的；C. 快樂的；D. 自信的。上文提到頂級(jí)球星對(duì)待每次練習(xí)就像對(duì)待NBA冠軍賽一樣不遺余力，由此可知其他隊(duì)員也像他們一樣全力以赴，所以答案選A。

8.D短語(yǔ)辨析。A. 讓步，屈服；B. 等待；C.結(jié)束；D. 集中于。從上文with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less可知加內(nèi)特主要去防守，所以D選項(xiàng)正確。

9.D動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 幫助；B.決定；C. 在乎；D. 有關(guān)系，要緊。本文講的是凱爾特人的團(tuán)隊(duì)合作精神，由此可知他們不在乎個(gè)人得失，而以團(tuán)隊(duì)利益為重，所以答案選D。

10.B副詞辨析。A.向前地，繼續(xù)；B.結(jié)束，C離開；D. 在里面。根據(jù)下文敘述：他們退出比賽，站在一邊為隊(duì)友加油吶喊可以推斷他們這樣做是在比賽將近結(jié)束時(shí)，所以B選項(xiàng)正確。

11.A副詞辨析。A. 相反；      B.終于；C. 然后；D.此外。根據(jù)他們不坐在板凳上休息而去吶喊助威可知前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故A選項(xiàng)正確。

12.B動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 使。。。冷靜；B. 支持；C.組織；D.建議。根據(jù)上文對(duì)他們的舉動(dòng)的介紹可知答案選B，他們想要去支持隊(duì)友們。

13.D動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 理解；B. 接受；C.喜歡；D. 培養(yǎng)，發(fā)展。根據(jù)前面的敘述可知他們的這些做法使這個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)更有凝聚力，培養(yǎng)了團(tuán)隊(duì)精神，所以答案選D。

14.D短語(yǔ)辨析。 A. 而不是；         B. 除。。。外； C. 少于；D. 多于，不僅僅，非常。根據(jù)上下文可知此處強(qiáng)調(diào)他們牢固不可破的關(guān)系，句意：他們不僅僅是隊(duì)友，他們更是兄弟。

15.A名詞辨析。A. 心臟；B. 人；C.態(tài)度；D. 竅門，建議。根據(jù)the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.可知正確答案是A。
