A group of students from Tianjin found a problem: Most students have few ideas about their career plans. Their families can’t help them much. Seeing this situation, the students from Tianjin TEDA No.1 Middle School decided to act and started a project called “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi, Zhi Yin Wei Lai”. “Our survey shows that 75 percent of the students want to know more about different jobs,” said Wang Xinran, the project leader. Based on students’ needs, the team interviewed 32 experts in different fields and put their interviews online. They shared true stories behind each job, allowing students to learn about the jobs in depth. “We also invited professionals (专业人士) to give speeches in our school,” said Wang. Team member Lu Jinyan said his most impressive (印象深刻的) interview was with a photographer. “I once thought being a photographer was cool. But now I know that they need to deal with lots of problems, such as a sudden change of weather or broken cameras. They also need to communicate with different people, which is very hard.” But the project doesn’t mean letting students down by telling them the truth. “We believe working is not just about bread and butter (生计).

I stared at the paper with a big, red “C” on it. My heart sank. I had always been an “A” student in math. I felt ashamed. When my friends asked about my grade, I lied and said I got a “B”. On the bus ride home, I kept thinking about the exam. The truth was, I hadn’t studied hard for it. I spent too much time playing online games. I told myself it was an accident, but deep down, I knew it wasn’t. Lying about the grade only made me feel worse. That night, I decided to be honest. I told my parents the truth. I expected them to be angry, but instead, they sat with me and looked at the paper. They helped me figure out where I went wrong. My dad said, “A ‘C’ doesn’t define you. How you respond to it does.” I realized that failure isn’t the end of the world. It’s a sign that I need to change my habits. I made a study plan. I’m not running away from that “C” anymore. I’m facing it. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．How to get an “A” in math. B．A lesson learned from a bad grade and dishonesty. C．The harm of playing online games. D．The importance of making a study plan. 6．Why did the writer lie to his friends? A．To make them feel bad. B．Because he was too ashamed to tell the truth. C．Because he thought a “C” was a good grade. D．To follow his parents’ advice. 7．The underlined phrase “define you” in paragraph 3 probably means ________. A．to describe your appearance B．to decide who you are as a person C．to give you a name D．to limit your freedom 8．How does the writer develop his idea in paragraph 3? A．By listing numbers and dates. B．By comparing two different exams. C．By describing his feelings, actions, and a turning point. D．By telling a story within a story. 【答案】5．B 6．B 7．B 8．C 【导语】作者因不努力数学考了C，起初撒谎隐瞒，后来向父母坦白并反思改正，明白了诚实与正确面对失败的重要性。 5．文章讲述了作者数学考C后撒谎、反思、向父母坦白并改正的完整经历，核心是从糟糕的成绩和不诚实中吸取的教训，涵盖了全文主旨。 6．第1段提到：I felt ashamed. When my friends asked about my grade, I lied and said I got a “B”.，直接说明作者撒谎是因为感到羞愧，不敢说实话。 7．第三段父亲的话：A “C” doesn’t define you. How you respond to it does. 意为 “一个 C 不能定义你，你如何应对它才定义你”，define you指 “决定你是一个怎样的人”，符合语境。 8．第3段依次描述了感受：“I expected them to be angry”和“I realized that failure isn’t the end of the world”；行动：“I told my parents the truth”和“I made a study plan”；转折点：从逃避和撒谎到直面问题、改正错误符合 “描述感受、行动和转折点” 的写作手法。 C Growing up is not just about getting taller or older; it’s about changing mentally and emotionally. It’s a journey that everyone must go through, and it’s full of ups and downs. During this journey, we learn to be independent, responsible and kind. In our childhood, we are taken care of by our parents. They do everything for us and protect us from all dangers. But as we grow up, we need to learn to do things on our own. For example, we learn to dress ourselves, finish our homework independently and make our own choices. This process may be difficult at first, but it helps us become more independent and confident. Growing up also means learning to face failure. No one can avoid failure in life. When we fail an exam, lose a game or make a mistake, we may feel sad and disappointed. But failure is not a bad thing; it’s a valuable lesson that teaches us to try harder and do better next time. It helps us grow stronger and more resilient. Family and friends are important companions on our growing-up journey. Our parents give us love and support, and our friends share our joys and sorrows. They encourage us when we are in trouble and celebrate our progress with us. Their company makes the journey of growing up warmer and more meaningful. In short, growing up is a precious journey. It teaches us important lessons, makes us better people and helps us understand the meaning of life. Let’s cherish every moment of growing up and embrace the changes it brings. 9．What does growing up really mean according to the passage? A．It only means getting taller and older. B．It means changing mentally and emotionally. C．It means being taken care of by parents. D．It means avoiding all difficulties. 10．Why is learning to do things on our own important for growing up? A．Because it makes us more independent and confident. B．Because it makes our parents less tired. C．Because it helps us avoid failure. D．Because it makes us popular among friends. 11．What can we infer from the passage? A．Growing up is always easy and pleasant. B．Failure is a bad thing that we should avoid. C．Family and friends play an important role in our growing up. D．We don’t need to learn to face difficulties. 12．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The Importance of Family and Friends B．How to Avoid Failure C．The Journey of Growing Up D．How to Be Independent 【答案】9．B 10．A 11．C 12．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章围绕 “成长的旅程” 展开，介绍了成长不仅是身高与年龄的增长，更是心理和情感上的变化，阐述了成长意味着学会独立、面对失败，同时强调了家人与朋友在成长中的重要作用。 9．第1段指出“Growing up is not just about getting taller or older; it’s about changing mentally and emotionally.”，成长的真正含义是心理和情感上的改变。 10．第2段说明原因“This process may be difficult at first, but it helps us become more independent and confident.”，学会自己做事对成长很重要，是因为它能让我们更独立、更自信。 11．第4段第1句指出“Family and friends are important companions on our growing-up journey.”，家人和朋友是我们成长旅程中重要的伙伴，可推知家人和朋友在我们的成长中扮演着重要角色。 12．文章开篇点题“Growing up is... It’s a journey that everyone must go through”，全文围绕“成长的旅程”展开，分别阐述了成长的含义、学会独立、面对失败以及家人朋友的陪伴等内容，C项“The Journey of Growing Up”对应标题。 D Marathon pacers (马拉松配速员), sometimes also called “rabbits”, are usually great runners. There are usually between 10 and 15 pacers in a marathon. Each of them leads a different group. They run at a set race in their projected (预定的) time. They usually hold a sign or a balloon with the time on it to help the runners finish the race. There are many reasons to run with a pacer. First of all, they can help you run at the right pace. If you go out too fast in the first half of the race, you can run out of energy quickly and slow down in the second half. Similarly, if you set out to run a slower first half and a faster second half, it can be hard to follow the pace in the end because you’re very tired then. With a pacer, you don’t have to think too hard about your pace. You just need to keep up with your pacer. Marathon pacers do more than that. They can encourage you to keep going when you go through the hardest part of the race. In fact, many marathon runners bring out the best in them by following a pacer. It’s not easy to become a marathon pacer, you must have experience in running marathons and be able to pace a race correctly. 13．How many marathon pacers are there possibly in a marathon? A．8. B．12. C．16. D．20. 14．In the third paragraph, what does the underlined word “them” refer to? A．Runners. B．Pacers. C．Coaches. D．Rabbits. 15．Running with a pacer in a marathon has the following advantages EXCEPT ________. A．You must get the first prize. B．You can run at the right pace. C．You don’t have to think too hard about your pace. D．You can keep going when you go through the hardest part of the race. 16．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Tell us the looks of marathon pacers. B．Tell us the future of marathon pacers. C．Tell us the hobbies of marathon pacers. D．Tell us the importance of marathon pacers. 【答案】13．B 14．A 15．A 16．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了马拉松配速员及其重要作用。 13．细节理解题。根据“There are usually between 10 and 15 pacers in a marathon.”可知，一场马拉松比赛通常有10到15名领跑者。故选B。 14．词句猜测题。根据“They can encourage you to keep going when you go through the hardest part of the race. In fact, many marathon runners bring out the best in them by following a pacer.”可知，许多马拉松选手都是通过跟随跑者来发挥自己的最佳状态的。them指代“marathon runners”，故选A。 15．细节理解题。根据“With a pacer, you don’t have to think too hard about your pace.”；“They can encourage you to keep going when you go through the hardest part of the race.”可知，文章并没有提及马拉松配速员一定能保证获得第一名，故选A。 16．主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了马拉松配速员以及他们的作用。故选D。 第2节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you. 17 Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone’s reading it. However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. Maybe one kid in school tried to get another to cut class with him. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group. 18 The idea that “everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common sense behind. Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/his mind from what she/he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer—just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! 19 20 Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better. A．Peers can have a good effect on one another. B．Good peers may give you a hand when you are in trouble. C．That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations. D．It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. E．Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. 【答案】17．A 18．E 19．C 20．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了同伴对彼此生活的影响，包括积极影响、同伴压力的产生原因、影响强度以及应对同伴压力的方法。 17．根据“Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone’s reading it.”可知，此处介绍的是同伴带来的积极影响，选项A“同伴可以对彼此产生良好的影响。”符合语境。故选A。 18．根据“Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group.”可知，此处解释了另一个屈服的原因，因为感到好奇就跟着去，选项E“其他人可能会跟着去，因为他们很好奇，想尝试别人正在做的新事物。”符合语境。故选E。 19．根据“Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/his mind from what she/he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer—just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer!”可知，此处是对同伴压力影响强度的进一步总结，选项C“这适用于任何年龄的人，在同辈压力的情况下。”符合语境。故选C。 20．根据“Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.”可知，此处需引出应对同伴压力的方法，强调虽有难度但可做到，选项D“摆脱同辈压力可能很难，但这是可以做到的。”符合语境。故选D。 二、完形填空（共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分） 阅读短文，理解其大意，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Teamwork plays a key role in our life. Whether in sports or study, being part of a team can bring us many 21 . But a great team doesn’t come easily. It needs several important factors. First, trust is the foundation of a great team. Team members should believe in each other. If we don’t trust others, we can't work 22 with them. For example, in a basketball team, players must trust that their teammates will pass the ball at the right time. Second, clear roles are necessary. Every member should know what their 23 are. In a science project team, one member is responsible for research, another for writing, and another for presentation. With clear roles, we can avoid confusion and work more 24 . Third, cooperation is the power of a team. We should learn to share our ideas and support each other. Sometimes, there may be disagreements. But we should 25 them by communication, not by arguing. I used to be in a study group. At first, we didn't work well because everyone wanted to do the easiest task. We often quarreled and made little 26 . Later, our teacher told us the importance of teamwork. We started to set goals together and 27 tasks fairly. Gradually, we became a great team and got a high grade in the project. From this experience, I learned that a great team needs trust, clear roles and cooperation. When we work together as a team, we can 28 more achievements than working alone. Teamwork not only helps us achieve goals but also teaches us important life 29 , such as communication and compromise. These skills will be useful for us in the future. In a word, a great team is like a strong ship. As long as we row the ship together, we can reach the shore of 30 . 21．A．challenges B．advantages C．difficulties D．problems 22．A．alone B．quietly C．closely D．slowly 23．A．hobbies B．skills C．tasks D．dreams 24．A．efficiently B．carelessly C．lazily D．easily 25．A．solve B．hide C．create D．forget 26．A．effort B．progress C．sense D．use 27．A．refused B．completed C．divided D．accepted 28．A．achieve B．lose C．avoid D．face 29．A．games B．lessons C．rules D．subjects 30．A．failure B．success C．fear D．danger 【答案】 21．B 22．C 23．C 24．A 25．A 26．B 27．C 28．A 29．B 30．B 【知识点】合作与交流、哲理感悟、议论文 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，阐述了团队合作的重要性以及构成优秀团队的三个关键因素：信任、明确角色和合作。作者通过自身学习小组的经历，说明了这些因素如何帮助团队取得成功，并指出团队合作能教会人们重要的生活技能。 21．句意：无论是运动还是学习，成为团队的一部分能给我们带来许多好处。 根据上文“Teamwork plays a key role”以及后文讨论信任、合作等积极因素可知，此处应选表示“优势、好处”的词，advantages意为“优点；好处”，符合语境。challenges“挑战”，difficulties“困难”，problems“问题”，均不符合语境。 22．句意：如果我们不信任他人，就无法与他们紧密合作。 根据句意，缺乏信任会导致无法有效合作。closely意为“紧密地”，work closely with sb.表示“与某人密切合作”，符合逻辑。alone“独自”，quietly“安静地”，slowly“缓慢地”，均不符合逻辑。 23．句意：每个成员都应该知道自己的任务是什么。 本段主题是clear roles“明确的角色”，即每个人知道自己该做什么，tasks意为“任务”，符合语境。hobbies“爱好”，skills“技能”，dreams“梦想”，均偏离语境。 24．句意：有了明确的角色，我们可以避免混乱，更高效地工作。 上文提到避免混乱，自然是为了提高效率，efficiently意为“高效地”，符合逻辑。carelessly“粗心地”，lazily“懒惰地”，easily“容易地”，其中easily可能干扰，但“更高效”更符合团队合作的目的。 25．句意：但我们应该通过沟通来解决它们，而不是争吵。 宾语是disagreements，意为“分歧”，动词应表示“解决”，solve意为“解决”，符合逻辑。hide“隐藏”，create“创造”，forget“忘记”，均不合理。 26．句意：我们经常争吵，几乎没有取得进展。 make progress为固定短语，意为“取得进步”。effort“努力”，make effort表示“努力”，但此处强调结果，且后文说后来取得了高分，说明之前进展甚微。progress更符合语境。sense“感觉”，use“使用”，均不符合语境。 27．句意：我们开始一起设定目标，并公平地分配任务。 根据上文“everyone wanted to do the easiest task”可知问题出在任务分配不均，因此改进方法是“分配”任务，divided意为“分配；划分”，符合语境。refused“拒绝”，completed“完成”，accepted“接受”，均不符合语境。 28．句意：当我们团队合作时，我们能比独自工作取得更多的成就。 此处要表达的是“取得成就”，achieve achievements为常见搭配，意为“取得成就”，achieve符合语境；lose“失去”，avoid“避免”，face“面对”，均不合理。 29．句意：团队合作不仅帮助我们实现目标，还教会我们重要的生活课程。 teach sb. lessons意为“给某人教训/课程”，此处引申为“教会某人道理”，lessons意为“课程；教训”，符合语境。games“游戏”，rules“规则”，subjects“学科”，均不符合语境。 30．句意：只要我们一同划船，就能到达成功的彼岸。 根据比喻“a strong ship”和“reach the shore of...”可知，目的地应是积极的“成功”，success意为“成功”，符合逻辑。failure“失败”，fear“恐惧”，danger“危险”，均为消极词汇，不符合逻辑。 第二部分 非选择题（共40分） 三、语篇填空（共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分） 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 Peter kept his eyes on the ground.

The other team got those 33 because of me.” He explained that during the final minute of the game, he had accidentally pushed a player from the other team while reaching for the ball. The referee (裁判) gave the other team two free throws. “I was so shocked by what happened, 34 it was too late to take it back,” Peter said. “I guess we have to respect his 35 (decide),” Peter said after a while. “Don’t be hard 36 yourself !” Tom comforted him. “It was just an accident—everyone on the team knows that. You know as well that other team is 37 strongest one in our area. Our coach and the whole school are proud of how we fought.” Peter felt a little better. “Thanks, Tom. It’s always embarrassing 38 (lose)a game with such a close score.” “Hey, you can’t win them all,” Tom said with a smile. “Rather than being upset about losing the game, it’s 39 (important)to learn from the mistakes so that you don’t repeat them in future. No one is perfect—not even the top players! We’ll keep working together as a team—one for all, and all for one!” Peter smiled back. “You’re right. If we pull together and keep practicing, we should 40 (win)next time.” Peter was lucky to have such a friend by his side.

With this spirit, people try hard to make their team the best of all. Everyone has experienced team spirit one way or another, whether they were part of a team or saw a group of people cheer for their favorite player or team. There are different kinds of team spirit. One kind is the connection between a team of people because their efforts and cooperation are necessary in reaching a particular (特定的) goal. Another kind is when a group of people support a person or a team. Another is people’s natural love for and pride in their country, when a whole nation cheers for its country in competitions. Team spirit creates various good effects. It creates friendship and trust among people who may not get along when they don't have such team spirit. There may also be bad effects. Too great team spirit may cause arguments or fights with other team members. Some people don’t understand team spirit properly. They think team spirit means having to become an official member of an organization, team or fan club. In fact, team spirit can be built anywhere—among friends, coworkers or even between two people sitting next to each other. You don’t have to be wearing the team spirit clothes. Anyone can show team spirit just by showing support for the goal. 41．What does team spirit mean? 42．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? 43．What good effects does team spirit create? 44．Do you think team spirit is important?

How much do you know about it? A group of students from Tianjin found a problem: Most students have few ideas about their career plans. Their families can’t help them much. Seeing this situation, the students from Tianjin TEDA No.1 Middle School decided to act and started a project called “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi, Zhi Yin Wei Lai”. “Our survey shows that 75 percent of the students want to know more about different jobs,” said Wang Xinran, the project leader. Based on students’ needs, the team interviewed 32 experts in different fields and put their interviews online. They shared true stories behind each job, allowing students to learn about the jobs in depth. “We also invited professionals (专业人士) to give speeches in our school,” said Wang.

I had always been an “A” student in math. I felt ashamed. When my friends asked about my grade, I lied and said I got a “B”. On the bus ride home, I kept thinking about the exam. The truth was, I hadn’t studied hard for it. I spent too much time playing online games. I told myself it was an accident, but deep down, I knew it wasn’t. Lying about the grade only made me feel worse. That night, I decided to be honest. I told my parents the truth. I expected them to be angry, but instead, they sat with me and looked at the paper. They helped me figure out where I went wrong. My dad said, “A ‘C’ doesn’t define you. How you respond to it does.” I realized that failure isn’t the end of the world. It’s a sign that I need to change my habits. I made a study plan. I’m not running away from that “C” anymore. I’m facing it. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．How to get an “A” in math.

C Growing up is not just about getting taller or older; it’s about changing mentally and emotionally. It’s a journey that everyone must go through, and it’s full of ups and downs. During this journey, we learn to be independent, responsible and kind. In our childhood, we are taken care of by our parents. They do everything for us and protect us from all dangers. But as we grow up, we need to learn to do things on our own. For example, we learn to dress ourselves, finish our homework independently and make our own choices. This process may be difficult at first, but it helps us become more independent and confident. Growing up also means learning to face failure. No one can avoid failure in life. When we fail an exam, lose a game or make a mistake, we may feel sad and disappointed. But failure is not a bad thing; it’s a valuable lesson that teaches us to try harder and do better next time. It helps us grow stronger and more resilient. Family and friends are important companions on our growing-up journey. Our parents give us love and support, and our friends share our joys and sorrows. They encourage us when we are in trouble and celebrate our progress with us. Their company makes the journey of growing up warmer and more meaningful. In short, growing up is a precious journey. It teaches us important lessons, makes us better people and helps us understand the meaning of life. Let’s cherish every moment of growing up and embrace the changes it brings. 9．What does growing up really mean according to the passage? A．It only means getting taller and older.

A．The Importance of Family and Friends B．How to Avoid Failure C．The Journey of Growing Up D．How to Be Independent D Marathon pacers (马拉松配速员), sometimes also called “rabbits”, are usually great runners. There are usually between 10 and 15 pacers in a marathon. Each of them leads a different group. They run at a set race in their projected (预定的) time. They usually hold a sign or a balloon with the time on it to help the runners finish the race. There are many reasons to run with a pacer. First of all, they can help you run at the right pace. If you go out too fast in the first half of the race, you can run out of energy quickly and slow down in the second half. Similarly, if you set out to run a slower first half and a faster second half, it can be hard to follow the pace in the end because you’re very tired then. With a pacer, you don’t have to think too hard about your pace. You just need to keep up with your pacer. Marathon pacers do more than that. They can encourage you to keep going when you go through the hardest part of the race. In fact, many marathon runners bring out the best in them by following a pacer. It’s not easy to become a marathon pacer, you must have experience in running marathons and be able to pace a race correctly. 13．How many marathon pacers are there possibly in a marathon? A．8. B．12. C．16. D．20. 14．In the third paragraph, what does the underlined word “them” refer to? A．Runners. B．Pacers. C．Coaches. D．Rabbits. 15．Running with a pacer in a marathon has the following advantages EXCEPT ________. A．You must get the first prize. B．You can run at the right pace. C．You don’t have to think too hard about your pace. D．You can keep going when you go through the hardest part of the race. 16．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Tell us the looks of marathon pacers. B．Tell us the future of marathon pacers. C．Tell us the hobbies of marathon pacers. D．Tell us the importance of marathon pacers. 第2节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you. 17 Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone’s reading it. However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. Maybe one kid in school tried to get another to cut class with him. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group. 18 The idea that “everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common sense behind. Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/his mind from what she/he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer—just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! 19 20 Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better. A．Peers can have a good effect on one another. B．Good peers may give you a hand when you are in trouble. C．That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations. D．It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done.

Whether in sports or study, being part of a team can bring us many 21 . But a great team doesn’t come easily. It needs several important factors. First, trust is the foundation of a great team. Team members should believe in each other. If we don’t trust others, we can't work 22 with them. For example, in a basketball team, players must trust that their teammates will pass the ball at the right time. Second, clear roles are necessary. Every member should know what their 23 are. In a science project team, one member is responsible for research, another for writing, and another for presentation. With clear roles, we can avoid confusion and work more 24 . Third, cooperation is the power of a team. We should learn to share our ideas and support each other. Sometimes, there may be disagreements. But we should 25 them by communication, not by arguing. I used to be in a study group. At first, we didn't work well because everyone wanted to do the easiest task. We often quarreled and made little 26 . Later, our teacher told us the importance of teamwork. We started to set goals together and 27 tasks fairly. Gradually, we became a great team and got a high grade in the project. From this experience, I learned that a great team needs trust, clear roles and cooperation. When we work together as a team, we can 28 more achievements than working alone. Teamwork not only helps us achieve goals but also teaches us important life 29 , such as communication and compromise. These skills will be useful for us in the future.

He walked into the classroom with a heavy heart when the bell rang. His feelings 31 (write) all over his face. His best friend Tom, who was also on the school basketball team, 32 (greet) him, “Are you still feeling upset about Saturday night’s game?” “Of course I am,” Peter replied, avoiding Tom’s eyes. “I let everyone down. The other team got those 33 because of me.” He explained that during the final minute of the game, he had accidentally pushed a player from the other team while reaching for the ball. The referee (裁判) gave the other team two free throws. “I was so shocked by what happened, 34 it was too late to take it back,” Peter said. “I guess we have to respect his 35 (decide),” Peter said after a while. “Don’t be hard 36 yourself !” Tom comforted him. “It was just an accident—everyone on the team knows that. You know as well that other team is 37 strongest one in our area. Our coach and the whole school are proud of how we fought.” Peter felt a little better. “Thanks, Tom. It’s always embarrassing 38 (lose)a game with such a close score.” “Hey, you can’t win them all,” Tom said with a smile. “Rather than being upset about losing the game, it’s 39 (important)to learn from the mistakes so that you don’t repeat them in future. No one is perfect—not even the top players! We’ll keep working together as a team—one for all, and all for one!” Peter smiled back. “You’re right. If we pull together and keep practicing, we should 40 (win)next time.” Peter was lucky to have such a friend by his side. This small failure wasn’t the end—it was just a lesson that would make him a better player. 四、阅读与表达（共4小题，41- 43小题，每小题2分，44小题4分；满分10分） Team Spirit Team spirit means the willingness of people to work together and help each other as part of a team. With this spirit, people try hard to make their team the best of all. Everyone has experienced team spirit one way or another, whether they were part of a team or saw a group of people cheer for their favorite player or team. There are different kinds of team spirit. One kind is the connection between a team of people because their efforts and cooperation are necessary in reaching a particular (特定的) goal. Another kind is when a group of people support a person or a team. Another is people’s natural love for and pride in their country, when a whole nation cheers for its country in competitions. Team spirit creates various good effects. It creates friendship and trust among people who may not get along when they don't have such team spirit. There may also be bad effects. Too great team spirit may cause arguments or fights with other team members. Some people don’t understand team spirit properly. They think team spirit means having to become an official member of an organization, team or fan club. In fact, team spirit can be built anywhere—among friends, coworkers or even between two people sitting next to each other. You don’t have to be wearing the team spirit clothes. Anyone can show team spirit just by showing support for the goal. 41．What does team spirit mean? 42．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? 43．What good effects does team spirit create? 44．Do you think team spirit is important? Why or why not?
