Unit 5 Teamwork（话题阅读精练）英语沪教版五四制2024八年级上册（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解 In May, 2023, Joy Kochar and 10 other students got together in Columbus Park, New York City. They set up a table with lemonade, cookies, and origami figures for sale. They were hoping to raise money for their school to solve a big problem: many spotted lanternflies (斑点灯笼蝇) had recently appeared in the area. They wanted to raise $200. That was the cost of the tools the kids needed to catch spotted lanternflies. They only made about $75. So they decided to hold more activities to collect money. Since 2014, spotted lanternflies have been seen across the eastern United States. They are harmful (有害的) to many plants. State officials have encouraged people to kill spotted lanternflies. Joy saw many spotted lanternflies in her school courtyard. She decided to do something, so she started a club called Squash. Its goal is to kill spotted lanternflies around the school. More than 20 students have joined. Joy did some research and found a plant named milkweed. It is good food for some insects (昆虫) but it is toxic to spotted lanternflies. Joy thought using milkweed would be a better way to kill spotted lanternflies. Finally, their effort (努力) paid off. They raised $197 in all. That was enough to buy milkweed. “The effort would not have been a success without teamwork. I learned that two minds are better than one,” Joy says. 1．Why did Joy and 10 other students sell their self-made things in the park? A．To practice necessary business skills. B．To save money to buy gifts for teachers. C．To get money for killing spotted lanternflies.

That was the cost of the tools the kids needed to catch spotted lanternflies.”可知，Joy和其他学生售卖自制物品的目的是为了筹集资金消灭斑点灯笼蝇。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Joy saw many spotted lanternflies in her school courtyard…so she started a club called Squash”；“They set up a table with lemonade, cookies, and origami figures for sale.”以及“They raised $197 in all. That was enough to buy milkweed.”可知，正确顺序是：斑点灯笼蝇出现在学校→Joy成立了Squash俱乐部→他们在公园售卖柠檬水→成功购买了马利筋。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Joy thought using milkweed would be a better way to kill spotted lanternflies.”可知，马利筋可以杀死斑点灯笼蝇，马利筋对斑点灯笼蝇有害，所以划线部分的含义是“有害的”。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“The effort would not have been a success without teamwork. I learned that two minds are better than one,”可推知，Joy学到的是团队合作带来成功。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。全文围绕Joy和同学们通过团队合作筹集资金、解决问题展开，重点赞扬了学生们解决问题的努力。故选C。 Doing chores as a family is more than just getting the work done. It mainly teaches children responsibility. When kids have their own chores, they learn that they have a role to play in keeping the household running smoothly. For example, if a child is in charge of feeding the pet every day, they learn to be consistent (坚持的) and to take care of another living being. Chores also help in building a sense of teamwork. When everyone in the family works together, it creates a positive and cooperative environment. Moreover, sharing chores can reduce the burden (负担) on every person and make the home a more harmonious (和睦的) place to live. 根据语篇内容，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选择最佳答案。 6．What is the main benefit of children doing chores according to the passage?

D．A quiet environment. 【答案】6．B 7．B 8．C 9．B 10．C 【导语】本文阐述了家庭成员共同承担家务的多重意义，重点分析了家务劳动对培养儿童责任感、团队合作精神和营造和谐家庭氛围的积极作用。 6．细节理解题。根据“It mainly teaches children responsibility.”可知，主要教孩子们责任感。故选B。 7．细节理解题。根据“When everyone in the family works together, it creates a positive and cooperative environment.”可知，当家庭中的每个人齐心协力时，就会营造出一种积极且相互协作的氛围，故选B。 8．细节理解题。根据“For example, if a child is in charge of feeding the pet every day”可知，举了“喂宠物”这个例子，故选C。 9．细节理解题。根据“Moreover, sharing chores can reduce the burden (负担) on every person”可知，分担家务可以减轻每个人的负担，故选B。 10．细节理解题。根据“When everyone in the family works together, it creates a positive and cooperative environment.”可知，当家庭中的每个人齐心协力时，就会营造出一种积极且相互协作的氛围，故选C。 The Paralympic Games are an international sports event for athletes with disabilities. Like the Olympic Games, they are held every four years and include many sports, such as swimming, running, and cycling. During the games, many athletes compete with a guide. Santos lost her sight in her teens. Now at the age of 42, she holds the women’s world record in the 100-meter dash for blind or nearly blind athletes. When she races with her guide, Garcia, he runs to her left. He holds a short tether (拴绳) in his right hand, while Santos holds the other end in her left. Since 2012, most Paralympic guides have received medals (奖牌) with their athletes. However, their teamwork often goes beyond the finish line. While training daily with Santos, Garcia is also preparing for the Olympics. “I prefer being a guide,” said Garcia. “I feel more pressure (压力) at the Paralympics. I have to give 200 percent of myself to avoid mistakes and help my teammate succeed.” A similar story comes from American para-cyclist Hannah and her guide, Skyler. Every time Hannah climbs on a bike behind Skyler, Skyler reaches back to hold her hand. “It reminds us we’re in this together,” said Skyler. Hannah and Skyler follow the same training plan. When training gets too hard, Hannah remembers she is working not just for herself, but for Skyler too. Skyler believes that if she hadn’t begun guiding, she would never have shone so much in sports. “I’m lucky that Hannah chose me to do this, just as I chose her,” she said. 11．What can we learn about the Paralympic Games from Paragraph 1? A．They include few sports. B．They are held every year. C．They are for athletes with disabilities. D．They offer a guide for all competitors. 12．How does Garcia help Santos run in the race? A．He stays behind Santos. B．He runs to Santos’ right. C．He holds Santos’ hand directly. D．He uses a tether to connect with Santos. 13．What does the underlined “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Training hard. B．Being a guide. C．Holding hands. D．Staying behind. 14．What is the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 15．What is the best title of the passage? A．Heroes in Sports B．Winning Together C．Training for Success D．The Paralympic Games 【答案】11．C 12．D 13．C 14．A 15．B 【导语】本文介绍了残奥会中运动员与引导员之间独特的合作关系。通过短跑运动员Santos与引导员Garcia、自行车手Hannah与引导员Skyler的案例，展现了这种合作超越比赛本身的意义。 11．细节理解题。根据“The Paralympic Games are an international sports event for athletes with disabilities.”可知，残奥会是一项面向残疾运动员的国际体育赛事，故选C。 12．细节理解题。根据“He holds a short tether (拴绳) in his right hand, while Santos holds the other end in her left.”可知，他用一根绳子将自己和Santos连接在一起，故选D。 13．词义猜测题。根据“Every time Hannah climbs on a bike behind Skyler, Skyler reaches back to hold her hand.”及“It reminds us we’re in this together,”可知，it指代“Skyler reaches back to hold her hand”的动作，故选C。 14．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段总述残奥会，第二段和第三段讲述一个故事；第四段和第五段讲述一个故事，所以是总分的结构，故选A。 15．最佳标题题。通过文章举例的两个故事可知，本文围绕的主线路是“合作共赢”，故选B。 二、完形填空 Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文) We all enjoy being part of a group. There’s no better work than teamwork, right? Actually, I 16 . Teamwork can be hard. In fact, it was so difficult that I left my office job and started working from home on my own. It’s a much better fit for me, and it has made me think about why teamwork can make our jobs harder rather than easier. Personalities (个性) can make teamwork 17 . There’s often someone on the team that puts their needs first. The team often goes along with this person, whose 18 might not be the best, just the loudest. Just one difficult personality can make teamwork hard. Combine (结合) several challenging personality types, and it’s even harder. Not having enough time together can also make teamwork challenging. For example, I was once on a team where we never had enough time to meet as a group. To 19 work as a team, you need time together, and lots of it. A final reason why teamwork is difficult is that there’s often no training on how to work on a team. You can’t just put people in a room and expect them to work well with each other. You need to build trust with your team members. Think of football players: They aren’t just given a ball and told to play. They practice, and they train. Team can be hard, but working alone has its challenges, too. When my computer doesn’t work, I don’t have an IT person to turn to. When I have a great idea, I don’t have anyone to 20 it with to see if it really is a great idea. Don’t get me wrong — I still like my team of one and enjoy making all of the important decisions myself. But now I realise what was wrong with the teamwork I did in the past and 21 good teamwork could be if done correctly. And that’s useful information because one day I might want to turn my ME TEAM into a WE TEAM. 16．A．wonder B．disagree C．support D．conclude 17．A．easy B．touching C．difficult D．perfect 18．A．conditions B．complaints C．understanding D．ideas 19．A．carefully B．successfully C．extremely D．severely 20．A．share B．cooperate C．spread D．inform 21．A．when B．who C．how D．while 【答案】16．B 17．C 18．D 19．B 20．A 21．C 【导语】本文讲述了作者因觉得团队合作困难而独自工作，分析了团队合作困难的原因，也提及独自工作的挑战，还认识到正确开展团队合作会很好。 16．句意：实际上，我不同意。 wonder想知道；disagree不同意；support支持；conclude总结。根据“Teamwork can be hard”可知，下文提到团队合作也可能是困难的，说明作者不同意团队合作是最好的。故选B。 17．句意：个性会让团队合作变得困难。 easy容易的；touching感人的；difficult困难的；perfect完美的。根据“There’s often someone on the team…”可知，下文提到团队中经常会有把自己需求放在首位的人，团队经常会附和这个人，可知此处是说个性会让团队合作变得困难。故选C。 18．句意：团队经常会附和这个人，而这个人的想法可能不是最好的，只是最大声的。 conditions条件；complaints抱怨；understanding理解；ideas想法。根据“not be the best, just the loudest”可知，此处指这个人的想法。故选D。 19．句意：为了成功地进行团队合作，你需要在一起的时间，而且需要很多时间。 carefully仔细地；successfully成功地；extremely极其；severely严重地。根据“work as a team”可知，此处指需要很多时间才能让团队合作成功进行。故选B。 20．句意：当我有一个好主意时，我没有人可以和他分享，看看它是否真的是个好主意。 share分享；cooperate合作；spread传播；inform通知。share sth. with sb.是固定搭配，意为“和某人分享某物”，此处指和其他人分享自己的想法，故选A。 21．句意：但现在我意识到过去我所做的团队合作有什么问题，以及如果正确开展，团队合作会有多好。 when当……时；who谁；how多么；while当……时；然而。根据“good teamwork could be”可知，此处指在正确开展的条件下，团队合作会有多么好，用how表示程度。故选C。 三、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 When we talk about learning new things, video games might not be the first thing we think of. 22 in Canada, more and more schools are starting their own esports (电子游戏) teams. These teams help students be more interested 23 learning and teach them skills like teamwork and communication. Nicole Bureau is 24 teacher at Ecole Viscount Alexander in Manitoba. She always wanted 25 (start) an esports team at her school. But she was a little nervous to get it started. Bureau’s Grade 8 students won awards in their country by making an escape room (密室逃脱) in the game Minecraft. They had to use 26 (anything) they were learning in their studies. “Grade 8 students learned about ancient civilizations (古代文明), and they 27 (build) an escape room about ancient Egypt,” Bureau said. Kyle Bushek was one of the 28 (student). For him, games like Minecraft are not just fun. They let him 29 (follow) his interests. “I think of the endless possibilities,” Bushek said. “We are 30 (surprise) that 89 percent of Canadian teenagers are playing games every day,” CEO of Esport Canada Melissa Burns said.

Zhou thought Zhuge was 32 (trouble) himself. He told his soldiers not to provide things 33 Zhuge. Zhuge asked Lu Su to lend 34 (he) twenty boats full of scarecrows (稻草人) with thirty soldiers in each. In the early morning of the 35 (three) day, Zhuge ordered that the twenty boats should be tied together. He asked Lu for 36 boat ride and then headed for Cao Cao’s camp. When the boats got much 37 (close) to the camp, Zhuge let his soldiers shout out 38 they were beating the drums. Cao Cao heard their sounds and ordered, “Shoot arrows at them as quickly as possible.” Soon, the scarecrows on both 39 (side) of the boats were full of arrows. When the day broke, with 40 (excite), Zhuge and his soldiers rowed back to their camp. They collected more than 100, 000 arrows. This story teaches us about the importance of teamwork and encourages us 41 (use) our heads to face challenges creatively. 【答案】 32．troubling 33．for 34．him 35．third 36．a 37．closer 38．while/when 39．sides 40．excitement 41．to use 【导语】本文讲述了《草船借箭》这个故事。。 32．句意：周以为诸葛在自找麻烦。根据“One day, Zhou Yu ordered Zhuge Ling to make 100,00 arrows ( 箭 ) in ten days. ‘Give me three days,’ said Zhuge.”可知，这里表示周瑜不相信诸葛亮在三天内能做到这件事，以为他在自找麻烦，这里是过去进行时，动词填现在分词。故填troubling。 33．句意：他告诉他的士兵不要为诸葛提供东西。根据“provide things”可知，考查provide sth for sb“为某人提供某物”。故填for。 34．句意：诸葛亮请求鲁肃借给他二十艘船，每艘船装着稻草人，每艘船装着三十名士兵。设空处前“lend”为动词，后填人称代词宾格him“他”。故填him。 35．句意：第三天一大早，诸葛亮下令将二十艘船绑在一起。根据“the...day”可知，此处指的是第三天，所给词改为序数词third“第三”。故填third。 36．句意：他请鲁驾船前往曹操的军营。根据“boat”可知，设空处后为单数名词，且是辅音音素开头的单词，此处用不定冠词a表示泛指“一个”。故填a。 37．句意：当船越来越靠近营地时，诸葛让士兵们一边打鼓一边喊。根据“much”可知，此处修饰比较级，填所给词的比较级closer“更近”。故填closer。 38．句意：当船越来越靠近营地时，诸葛让士兵们一边打鼓一边喊。根据“they were beating the drums.”可知，此处指的是边打鼓边喊，因此填while/when“当……时”。故填while/when。 39．句意：很快，船两边的稻草人都装满了箭。设空处前是“both”，因此填所给词的复数形式sides“边”。故填sides。 40．句意：天亮了，诸葛和他的士兵们兴奋地划回了营地。根据“with”可知，后填名词形式excitement，with excitement“兴奋地”。故填excitement。 41．句意：这个故事告诉我们团队合作的重要性，并鼓励我们用我们的头脑创造性地面对挑战。根据“and encourages us”可知，考查encourage sb to do sth“鼓励某人做某事”，因此设空处填所给词的不定式。故填to use。 四、任务型阅读 根据短文内容, 按要求回答问题。 People say teamwork is great, but I think it can sometimes make things harder. I used to work in an office, but now I work alone at home. It made me wonder: Why does teamwork cause problems instead of solving them? Some people just want things their way. In a team, there’s often someone who talks the loudest or acts selfishly (自私地). Others might agree with them even if their ideas aren’t good. Teamwork feels like solving a puzzle (谜) with missing pieces when different personalities mix. It’s impossible to work well in those cases. Time is another problem. Once, I was on a team that never met enough. We were all busy and had no time to talk about good plans. Teams need hours together to share ideas and listen—like a football team that practices every day. If players don’t train, they can’t win games. Many teams also don’t learn how to work together. Trust doesn’t magically appear. You can’t throw strangers into a room and say, “Be a team!” You need to learn to respect each other and solve problems step by step. But most teams never get this training. Working alone isn’t perfect, though. When my computer breaks, I miss having helpers nearby. When I think of a cool idea, there’s no one to ask, “Is this good?” Making all the decisions myself is fun, but it’s lonely too. Still, I like my quiet “me team” better now. I decide everything, and there’s no arguing—quite independent! But I finally understand why my old teams failed. Good teamwork needs patience, time, and people who care about each other. Maybe one day, if I learn to fix those problems, my “me team” could grow into a real “we team.” After all, even the best players need a team to win. 42．Why did the writer leave teamwork for working alone? (No more than 8 words) 43．Why does the writer compare selfish team members to “a puzzle with missing pieces”? (No more than 8 words) 44．What does the football team example show about teamwork? (No more than 6 words) 45．What happens when teams don’t solve the problems step-by-step? (No more than 3 words) 46．Why does the writer call his team a “me team” but still want a “we team”? (With a sentence) 【答案】42．Because teamwork caused problems. 43．Different personalities mix poorly. 44．Teams need time together. 45．They fail. 46．He enjoys independence but recognizes teamwork’s value. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了团队合作的优缺点。作者通过自身经历，分析了团队合作中常见的问题（如自私行为、时间不足、缺乏信任等），同时也承认独自工作的局限性，最终表达了对理想团队合作的期待。 42．根据文章“People say teamwork is great, but I think it can sometimes make things harder.”和“It made me wonder: Why does teamwork cause problems instead of solving them?”（人们说团队合作很棒，但我认为它有时会让事情变得更难）以及后文对团队合作问题的具体描述（如自私成员、时间不足等），可推知，作者因团队合作带来问题而选择独自工作。故填Because teamwork caused problems. 43．根据文章“Teamwork feels like solving a puzzle with missing pieces when different personalities mix.”（当不同性格的人混在一起时，团队合作就像拼图缺了碎片）可知，作者将自私成员比作“缺失的拼图”，是因为性格差异导致合作困难。故填Different personalities mix poorly. 44．根据文章“Teams need hours together to share ideas and listen—like a football team that practices every day.”（团队需要时间共同分享想法和倾听，就像足球队每天训练一样）可知，足球队的例子说明团队需要投入时间磨合。故填Teams need time together. 45．根据文章“But most teams never get this training.”（但大多数团队从未接受过这种训练）及前文对团队失败原因的描述（如缺乏逐步解决问题），可推知，未逐步解决问题的团队会失败。故填They fail. 46．根据文章“I like my quiet ‘me team’... but I finally understand why my old teams failed. Good teamwork needs...”（我喜欢安静的“单人团队”……但也终于明白旧团队失败的原因。好的团队合作需要……）可知，作者享受独立决策的自由，但也意识到团队合作的价值。故填He enjoys independence but recognizes teamwork’s value. A Teacher’s Journal April 14 When my students work together on projects, everything usually works out. I had my doubts①today, though, when I put Sharla, Tess, and Lee together to make a model volcano②. At one point, I knew something was going to get out of control, and it wasn’t the volcanol. I knew the girls weren’t good friends, but I always encouraged my students to learn to work together with all their classmates. I could tell they felt a little shy when they sat down for their first planning meeting. The students in other groups asked me questions, so I didn’t watch the three girls for a while. When I turned to look at them again, one looked angry, another looked sad, and the third was almost crying. Oh no! As I went back, they all started talking at once. Tess didn’t want to have to touch “that icky paste③” to build the volcano. Sharla had some new ideas, but she couldn’t make the other two understand her. Lee thought they should stop talking and get to work at once. I ________ and suggested that they make a list of the things they had all agreed on. They then told me they had already agreed that they were going to make a volcano out of flour, salt and water. But they couldn’t reach an agreement on the size, the base for the volcano, or who should mix the paste. Each girl had her own ideas and wouldn’t change her mind for teamwork or progress. By this time, the group work was over and it was time for lunch break. The girls made very little progress and I thought it was probably my mistake. Maybe these three students just couldn’t work together in a group. ①doubt怀疑    ②volcano火山 ③icky paste恶心的胶水 47．Sharla, Tess, and Lee were good friends, weren’t they? 48．Why didn’t the teacher watch the three girls for a while? 49．How did the three girls look when the teacher turned to look at them again? 50．What can be filled in the blank in Paragraph Four? (Answer with no more than 10 words) 51．What did the girls reach an agreement on for the model volcano? 52．Do you think the three girls could work together in a group? Why or why not? 【答案】47．No, they weren’t. 48．Because the students in other groups asked the teacher questions. 49．One looked angry, another looked sad, and the third was almost crying. 50．calmed them down 51．They agreed to make a volcano out of flour, salt and water. 52．No, I don’t think so. Because each girl had her own ideas and wouldn’t change her mind for teamwork or progress. 【导语】本文主要讲述了老师安排Sharla，Tess和Lee一组制作火山模型的事情，并且通过这件事反映出学生在小组合作中可能会因为个人想法和关系等问题而难以顺利合作，同时也体现了老师在促进学生团队合作方面面临的挑战。 47．根据“I knew the girls weren’t good friends”可知，老师知道她们三个不是好朋友。故填No, they weren’t. 48．根据“The students in other groups asked me questions, so I didn’t watch the three girls for a while.”可知，是因为其他组的同学问老师问题，所以，老师暂时没有看那三个女生。故填Because the students in other groups asked the teacher questions. 49．根据“When I turned to look at them again, one looked angry, another looked sad, and the third was almost crying.”可知，当老师再次转头看她们时，一个看起来很生气，另一个看起来很悲伤，第三个几乎要哭了。故填One looked angry, another looked sad, and the third was almost crying. 50．根据前文“Sharla had some new ideas, but she couldn’t make the other two understand her. Lee thought they should stop talking and get to work at once.”及下文“…and suggested that they make a list of the things they had all agreed on.”可知，此处应表达老师面对她们的混乱，应是先让她们冷静下来，然后提出建议。故填calmed them down。 51．根据“They then told me they had already agreed that they were going to make a volcano out of flour, salt and water.”可知，三个女孩同意用面粉、盐和水来造一座火山。故填They agreed to make a volcano out of flour, salt and water. 52．根据“Each girl had her own ideas and wouldn’t change her mind for teamwork or progress.”可知，她们都坚持自己的想法，不愿意为团队合作和进展做出改变，所以不太可能合作。故填No, I don’t think so. Because each girl had her own ideas and wouldn’t change her mind for teamwork or progress. 试卷第14页，共14页 试卷第13页，共14页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 Teamwork（话题阅读精练）英语沪教版五四制2024八年级上册（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解 In May, 2023, Joy Kochar and 10 other students got together in Columbus Park, New York City. They set up a table with lemonade, cookies, and origami figures for sale.

That was the cost of the tools the kids needed to catch spotted lanternflies. They only made about $75. So they decided to hold more activities to collect money. Since 2014, spotted lanternflies have been seen across the eastern United States. They are harmful (有害的) to many plants. State officials have encouraged people to kill spotted lanternflies. Joy saw many spotted lanternflies in her school courtyard. She decided to do something, so she started a club called Squash. Its goal is to kill spotted lanternflies around the school.

Doing chores as a family is more than just getting the work done. It mainly teaches children responsibility. When kids have their own chores, they learn that they have a role to play in keeping the household running smoothly. For example, if a child is in charge of feeding the pet every day, they learn to be consistent (坚持的) and to take care of another living being. Chores also help in building a sense of teamwork. When everyone in the family works together, it creates a positive and cooperative environment. Moreover, sharing chores can reduce the burden (负担) on every person and make the home a more harmonious (和睦的) place to live. 根据语篇内容，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选择最佳答案。 6．What is the main benefit of children doing chores according to the passage?

Like the Olympic Games, they are held every four years and include many sports, such as swimming, running, and cycling. During the games, many athletes compete with a guide. Santos lost her sight in her teens. Now at the age of 42, she holds the women’s world record in the 100-meter dash for blind or nearly blind athletes. When she races with her guide, Garcia, he runs to her left. He holds a short tether (拴绳) in his right hand, while Santos holds the other end in her left. Since 2012, most Paralympic guides have received medals (奖牌) with their athletes. However, their teamwork often goes beyond the finish line. While training daily with Santos, Garcia is also preparing for the Olympics. “I prefer being a guide,” said Garcia. “I feel more pressure (压力) at the Paralympics. I have to give 200 percent of myself to avoid mistakes and help my teammate succeed.” A similar story comes from American para-cyclist Hannah and her guide, Skyler. Every time Hannah climbs on a bike behind Skyler, Skyler reaches back to hold her hand. “It reminds us we’re in this together,” said Skyler. Hannah and Skyler follow the same training plan. When training gets too hard, Hannah remembers she is working not just for herself, but for Skyler too. Skyler believes that if she hadn’t begun guiding, she would never have shone so much in sports. “I’m lucky that Hannah chose me to do this, just as I chose her,” she said. 11．What can we learn about the Paralympic Games from Paragraph 1? A．They include few sports. B．They are held every year. C．They are for athletes with disabilities. D．They offer a guide for all competitors. 12．How does Garcia help Santos run in the race? A．He stays behind Santos. B．He runs to Santos’ right. C．He holds Santos’ hand directly. D．He uses a tether to connect with Santos. 13．What does the underlined “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Training hard. B．Being a guide. C．Holding hands. D．Staying behind. 14．What is the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 15．What is the best title of the passage? A．Heroes in Sports B．Winning Together C．Training for Success D．The Paralympic Games 二、完形填空 Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文) We all enjoy being part of a group. There’s no better work than teamwork, right? Actually, I 16 . Teamwork can be hard. In fact, it was so difficult that I left my office job and started working from home on my own. It’s a much better fit for me, and it has made me think about why teamwork can make our jobs harder rather than easier. Personalities (个性) can make teamwork 17 . There’s often someone on the team that puts their needs first. The team often goes along with this person, whose 18 might not be the best, just the loudest. Just one difficult personality can make teamwork hard. Combine (结合) several challenging personality types, and it’s even harder. Not having enough time together can also make teamwork challenging. For example, I was once on a team where we never had enough time to meet as a group. To 19 work as a team, you need time together, and lots of it. A final reason why teamwork is difficult is that there’s often no training on how to work on a team. You can’t just put people in a room and expect them to work well with each other. You need to build trust with your team members. Think of football players: They aren’t just given a ball and told to play. They practice, and they train. Team can be hard, but working alone has its challenges, too. When my computer doesn’t work, I don’t have an IT person to turn to. When I have a great idea, I don’t have anyone to 20 it with to see if it really is a great idea. Don’t get me wrong — I still like my team of one and enjoy making all of the important decisions myself. But now I realise what was wrong with the teamwork I did in the past and 21 good teamwork could be if done correctly. And that’s useful information because one day I might want to turn my ME TEAM into a WE TEAM. 16．A．wonder B．disagree C．support D．conclude 17．A．easy B．touching C．difficult D．perfect 18．A．conditions B．complaints C．understanding D．ideas 19．A．carefully B．successfully C．extremely D．severely 20．A．share B．cooperate C．spread D．inform 21．A．when B．who C．how D．while 三、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 When we talk about learning new things, video games might not be the first thing we think of. 22 in Canada, more and more schools are starting their own esports (电子游戏) teams. These teams help students be more interested 23 learning and teach them skills like teamwork and communication. Nicole Bureau is 24 teacher at Ecole Viscount Alexander in Manitoba. She always wanted 25 (start) an esports team at her school. But she was a little nervous to get it started. Bureau’s Grade 8 students won awards in their country by making an escape room (密室逃脱) in the game Minecraft. They had to use 26 (anything) they were learning in their studies. “Grade 8 students learned about ancient civilizations (古代文明), and they 27 (build) an escape room about ancient Egypt,” Bureau said. Kyle Bushek was one of the 28 (student). For him, games like Minecraft are not just fun. They let him 29 (follow) his interests. “I think of the endless possibilities,” Bushek said. “We are 30 (surprise) that 89 percent of Canadian teenagers are playing games every day,” CEO of Esport Canada Melissa Burns said. She said that by 31 (use) ideas from traditional sports in esports, gaming can become more organized and beneficial. 阅读英文版《草船借箭》，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。 One day, Zhou Yu ordered Zhuge Liang to make 100,00 arrows (箭) in ten days. “Give me three days,” said Zhuge. Zhou thought Zhuge was 32 (trouble) himself. He told his soldiers not to provide things 33 Zhuge. Zhuge asked Lu Su to lend 34 (he) twenty boats full of scarecrows (稻草人) with thirty soldiers in each. In the early morning of the 35 (three) day, Zhuge ordered that the twenty boats should be tied together. He asked Lu for 36 boat ride and then headed for Cao Cao’s camp. When the boats got much 37 (close) to the camp, Zhuge let his soldiers shout out 38 they were beating the drums. Cao Cao heard their sounds and ordered, “Shoot arrows at them as quickly as possible.” Soon, the scarecrows on both 39 (side) of the boats were full of arrows. When the day broke, with 40 (excite), Zhuge and his soldiers rowed back to their camp. They collected more than 100, 000 arrows. This story teaches us about the importance of teamwork and encourages us 41 (use) our heads to face challenges creatively. 四、任务型阅读 根据短文内容, 按要求回答问题。 People say teamwork is great, but I think it can sometimes make things harder. I used to work in an office, but now I work alone at home. It made me wonder: Why does teamwork cause problems instead of solving them? Some people just want things their way. In a team, there’s often someone who talks the loudest or acts selfishly (自私地). Others might agree with them even if their ideas aren’t good. Teamwork feels like solving a puzzle (谜) with missing pieces when different personalities mix. It’s impossible to work well in those cases. Time is another problem. Once, I was on a team that never met enough. We were all busy and had no time to talk about good plans. Teams need hours together to share ideas and listen—like a football team that practices every day. If players don’t train, they can’t win games. Many teams also don’t learn how to work together. Trust doesn’t magically appear. You can’t throw strangers into a room and say, “Be a team!” You need to learn to respect each other and solve problems step by step. But most teams never get this training. Working alone isn’t perfect, though. When my computer breaks, I miss having helpers nearby. When I think of a cool idea, there’s no one to ask, “Is this good?” Making all the decisions myself is fun, but it’s lonely too. Still, I like my quiet “me team” better now. I decide everything, and there’s no arguing—quite independent! But I finally understand why my old teams failed. Good teamwork needs patience, time, and people who care about each other. Maybe one day, if I learn to fix those problems, my “me team” could grow into a real “we team.” After all, even the best players need a team to win. 42．Why did the writer leave teamwork for working alone?

(With a sentence) A Teacher’s Journal April 14 When my students work together on projects, everything usually works out. I had my doubts①today, though, when I put Sharla, Tess, and Lee together to make a model volcano②. At one point, I knew something was going to get out of control, and it wasn’t the volcanol. I knew the girls weren’t good friends, but I always encouraged my students to learn to work together with all their classmates. I could tell they felt a little shy when they sat down for their first planning meeting. The students in other groups asked me questions, so I didn’t watch the three girls for a while. When I turned to look at them again, one looked angry, another looked sad, and the third was almost crying. Oh no! As I went back, they all started talking at once. Tess didn’t want to have to touch “that icky paste③” to build the volcano. Sharla had some new ideas, but she couldn’t make the other two understand her. Lee thought they should stop talking and get to work at once. I ________ and suggested that they make a list of the things they had all agreed on. They then told me they had already agreed that they were going to make a volcano out of flour, salt and water. But they couldn’t reach an agreement on the size, the base for the volcano, or who should mix the paste. Each girl had her own ideas and wouldn’t change her mind for teamwork or progress. By this time, the group work was over and it was time for lunch break. The girls made very little progress and I thought it was probably my mistake. Maybe these three students just couldn’t work together in a group. ①doubt怀疑    ②volcano火山 ③icky paste恶心的胶水 47．Sharla, Tess, and Lee were good friends, weren’t they? 48．Why didn’t the teacher watch the three girls for a while? 49．How did the three girls look when the teacher turned to look at them again? 50．What can be filled in the blank in Paragraph Four?
