We all enjoy being part of a group—there's no better work than teamwork, right? Actually, I disagree.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 can make teamwork difficult. There's often someone on the team that puts his need first. The team often goes along with this person, whose ideas 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 successfully 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 practise, 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 share 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 realize what was wrong with the teamwork I did in the past and how 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.
26. Why did the writer choose to work from home on his own?
A. To keep himself busier. B. To keep himself healthier.
C. To make his job easier. D. To make his team harder.
27. Which of the following makes teamwork difficult?
A. Strong personality. B. Lots of teamwork time.
C. Challenging ideas. D. Clear team roles.
28 What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. WE TEAM has hardly any advantages. B. ME TEAM needs a lot of IT engineers.
C. ME TEAM has no challenges for the writer. D.WE TEAM may be the writer's choice one day.
29. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To show the advantages of teamwork. B. To tell the importance of teamwork.
C. To introduce the influence of teamwork. D. To explain the difficulties of teamwork.

Classical Chinese gardens are purposely designed so that no matter where you stand, you can never see the whole thing at once. The mystery and the discovery have helped the classical gardens of China, especially those in Suzhou, remain popular attractions after all these years.
Put simply, the aim of a classical Chinese garden is to deepen one's admiration of nature. Besides just relaxing in nature, the classical Chinese gardens have another purpose— to inspire artistic expression like poetry, literature or painting. Nearly all Chinese gardens feature the things in the list below.
Water
Water is a necessary thing that no Chinese garden can go without. The water in a garden typically symbolizes a lake or even the ocean. Water can even symbolize communication, movement and dreams.
Rocks
Large rocks typically symbolize mountains. Many of the rocks in the Suzhou gardens come from Lake Tai, having been shaped by the flow of water over thousands of years. Smaller rocks are often on show in the fancy halls at a garden's entrance. This shows the appreciation the garden owners had of these rocks.
Plants
You can't have a garden without plants. Different plants and flowers are used for either symbolic or aesthetic (美学的) purpose— or both. Bamboo, for example, represents strength. Flowers meanwhile, add color to a garden, with each carrying a symbolic meaning of its own.
Gates & Windows
Gates of different shapes divide different parts of a garden. The most common type of gate, the moon gate, is simply a circle. Windows are placed throughout the garden to allow the passage of light. You can also catch a glimpse of interesting trees or rocks on the other side from the window.
Pavilions(亭)
In Chinese gardens, pavilions are usually placed in some of the best viewing places. Sometimes a pavilion is placed where one can see the reflection(倒影) of the moon at night, or in the best place to listen to the sound of rain on the leaves above. In the past, pavilions were also used as places for garden owners to reflect, paint and write poems.
30. What does the underlined word" those" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Plants. B. Paintings. C. Classical gardens. D. Mystery and discovery.
31. What's the purpose of this text?
A. To list some plants and flowers. B. To introduce classical Chinese gardens.
C. To explain the history of classical gardens. D. To compare different classical gardens in China.
32. Which of the following best explains"glimpse" underlined in paragraph 6?
A. Look. B. Visit. C. Guess. D. Feeling.

七、阅读表达(除63小题,其余每题答案不超过10个单词)
In early days of history, being a good neighbor was very important. Neighbors helped one another build houses, and clear fields. Families depended on one another for friendship and entertainment.
But today in our cities and suburbs, friendly relationship between neighbors is not common. A family may not even know the other families that live next door to them. We live in an age of machines,and each family may have its own car, TV set, and washing machine. People no longer depend on neighbors as much as they once did. Machines keep people apart in other ways. In our grandparents'time, women met while they hung out the washing, and men stopped and talked while they mowed the lawns.Today, they cannot hear anything above the noise of their power lawn mowers.And women stay inside with their electrical dryers, which help dry their clothes. Children are inside watching their favorite TV shows. Is the idea of being a good neighbor old-fashioned?
In 1965, a power cut hit New York City, and many thousands of people were left helpless.Suddenly, everyone shared the same problem, and the largest city became a group of eight million neighbors. People with cars offered rides to those walking. Other people helped direct traffic. In eleators, people played word games and helped cheer each other up.
In times of trouble, people still depend on one another. As time goes on, people may once again feel that being a good neighbor is important.
59. What did neighbours do to help each other in early days of history?
_______________________________________________________________
60. Why do people no longer depend on neighbors as much as they once did?

61. What do women use their electrical dryers to do?
