Ask them questions to get them to talk so that everyone can communicate well with each other. Work together on projects Let everyone help make decisions about the project.

B Teamwork is one of the most important skills in life. A great team is not just a group of people, but a group of people who work together, support each other and share the same goal. I learned the importance of teamwork from a basketball match last term. At first, our team was not good. We all wanted to play well alone and didn’t pass the ball to each other. We lost the first two matches and everyone felt upset. Our teacher told us that teamwork was the key to winning. He asked us to communicate more and support each other. After that, we changed our way. We talked about our plans before the match. During the match, we passed the ball to each other and helped each other. When one of us was in trouble, the others would give a hand. Little by little, our team became stronger and stronger. Finally, we won the third match. We were all very happy and proud. This experience taught me a lot. I know that no one can succeed alone. Teamwork can make us achieve more. In the future, I will learn to be a better team player and work with others together. 16．What is the key to a great team? A．Working alone. B．Arguing a lot. C．Teamwork.

D．By keeping quiet. 20．What can we learn from the passage? A．No one can succeed alone. B．Working alone is the best way. C．Teamwork is not important. D．We should never pass the ball to others. C A great team can always achieve amazing goals (目标), but what really makes a team great? It is not the cleverest members or the strongest ability, but some important spirits. First, a great team must have a clear goal. All members know what they are working for and try their best to reach it. Without a common goal, the team will be like a ship without a direction. Second, trust and respect are necessary. Members should trust each other’s skills and respect different opinions. Even when they disagree, they will not argue but communicate politely. Third, cooperation plays a key role. Good team members do not care too much about personal honor. They share tasks and help each other to make the whole team better. Finally, the ability to face failure is important. When the team fails, members encourage each other instead of blaming. They learn from mistakes and keep moving forward. In a word, a great team is built on clear goals, trust, respect, cooperation and positive attitude. With these spirits, a team can overcome difficulties and become successful. 21．What makes a great team according to the passage? A．The cleverest members.B．Strongest ability. C．Important spirits.

A．What Makes a Great Team B．How to Choose Friends C．How to Be a Clever Student D．How to Make Personal Progress D Ants are small, but their teamwork has long amazed scientists. A recent study shows that red imported fire ants (红火蚁) use a special way to survive floods: they link their bodies together to form living rafts (木筏) that can float (漂浮) for weeks. This is not just a simple act of cooperation— it is a highly organized team strategy (策略) that shows the key rules of successful teamwork. The process starts when the ground gets wet. Worker ants quickly gather eggs, young ants, and the queen into the center of the group. Larger, stronger ants form the outer layer (外层) of the raft, while smaller ants stay inside. By locking their legs and jaws together, they create a structure that can hold up to 100 times the weight of a single ant. This way, even if the raft hits rocks or sticks in the water, it stays whole. What makes this teamwork work so well? First, there is no single “leader”. Every ant knows its role: some gather food, some build the raft, and some care for the young. No one ant orders others around; instead, they follow chemical signals (化学信号) from their nestmates (同巢伙伴) . Second, they put the group’s safety above their own. The outer-layer ants are more likely to get wet or even die, but they keep the queen and the young safe. This “selfless cooperation” is the secret to their survival. Scientists believe we can learn a lot from fire ants. In human teams, people often argue about who is in charge or who gets credit (功劳) . But fire ants show that when everyone knows their role and works for the common goal, even the smallest teams can achieve big things. As one researcher put it, “The ants don’t care about being a hero. They care about keeping the team alive.” 26．Why do fire ants form living rafts during floods? A．To protect their queen and young. B．To find new homes quickly. C．To catch floating food. D．To fight other insects. 27．Which of the following is True about the fire ant raft? A．The queen stays on the outer layer. B．Smaller ants form the strong outer layer. C．It can carry heavy loads in water. D．It breaks easily when hitting rocks. 28．What is the key reason for the ants’ successful teamwork? A．A strong leader that gives orders. B．Clear roles and selfless cooperation. C．Large size and strong bodies. D．No need for food or water during floods. 29．What can we learn from the fire ants’ teamwork? A．Leaders are not needed in any team. B．Everyone should work for the team’s goal. C．Small teams cannot achieve big things. D．Selfish people can still work well in teams. 30．The writer wrote this passage mainly to ________. A．introduce the life cycle of fire ants B．explain how fire ants survive floods C．show what makes successful teamwork D．compare human teams with animal teams E Team spirit means that people work together and help each other as part of a team. When people have team spirit, they try their best. 31 Everyone has seen or felt team spirit. This can happen when they are part of a team, or see people cheering for a team or players. 32 One kind is when a group of people work together to reach a goal. Another kind is when people support a person or a team. A third kind is when a whole country cheers for its team. 33 Team spirit has good results. It helps people make friends and believe in each other even when they don’t agree with each other. 34 It can bring fights or disagreements between team members. Some people don’t fully understand what team spirit means. 35 But team spirit can be built anywhere. It can be between friends, schoolmates, or even two people sitting next to each other. It’s about working together to reach the same goal, no matter where you are. A．He doesn’t need team spirit at all. B．There are different kinds of team spirit. C．This can happen when they always cry. D．However, team spirit can also bring bad results. E．They work hard to make their team the best. F．This shows people’s love for their own country. G．They think it’s only about being part of a group or team. 三．选词填空（10分） 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文完整正确。（每个单词限用一次，必要时可加助动词） finish   respect   remember   work   discuss   give   come   show   choose   prepare Teamwork plays an important role in our daily school life.

Whether in school, sports or future workplaces, working well with others can make a big difference. But what is teamwork? Teamwork is the ability to work together towards the same goal. It includes communicating, sharing and respecting each other’s ideas. When we work together, we can combine (结合) our advantages and skills to solve problems. For example, in a school project, each team member may have different abilities. One student may be good at writing while another student may be good at researching. By sharing tasks, the team gets a higher quality result. In sports, teamwork is the key to success. A soccer team needs players to pass the ball, defend (防守) and score together. If they don’t work together, the team will lose. The members learn to trust and support each other, which helps them build strong relationships on the field. In addition, teamwork can create a sense of belonging (归属感) . When we work with others, we feel connected and valued. This connection can encourage us to do more. It also teaches us important life skills, like solving problems and helping others in trouble. In a word, teamwork is very important for success in many areas of life. By learning to work together, we can not only achieve our goals but also build meaningful relationships and important skills that will help us in the future.

A great team is not just a group of people, but a group of people who work together, support each other and share the same goal. I learned the importance of teamwork from a basketball match last term. At first, our team was not good. We all wanted to play well alone and didn’t pass the ball to each other. We lost the first two matches and everyone felt upset. Our teacher told us that teamwork was the key to winning. He asked us to communicate more and support each other. After that, we changed our way. We talked about our plans before the match. During the match, we passed the ball to each other and helped each other. When one of us was in trouble, the others would give a hand. Little by little, our team became stronger and stronger. Finally, we won the third match. We were all very happy and proud. This experience taught me a lot. I know that no one can succeed alone. Teamwork can make us achieve more. In the future, I will learn to be a better team player and work with others together. 16．What is the key to a great team? A．Working alone. B．Arguing a lot. C．Teamwork. D．Playing well alone. 17．Why did the writer’s team lose the first two matches? A．They didn’t have a good coach. B．They didn’t cooperate with each other. C．They were not good at playing basketball. D．They had no time to practice. 18．What did the teacher ask them to do? A．To give up the match. B．To communicate more and support each other. C．To play alone. D．To argue with each other. 19．How did the team become stronger finally? A．By working together and helping each other. B．By playing computer games. C．By doing part-time work. D．By keeping quiet. 20．What can we learn from the passage? A．No one can succeed alone. B．Working alone is the best way. C．Teamwork is not important. D．We should never pass the ball to others. 【答案】16．C 17．B 18．B 19．A 20．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者通过一次篮球比赛的经历，认识到团队合作的重要性。起初队员们各自为战导致连败，在老师的指导下改变方式、互相支持，最终赢得比赛。 16．根据首段“A great team is...a group of people who work together, support each other and share the same goal.” 说明优秀团队的关键在于共同合作、互相支持，即“teamwork”。A项“独自工作”和B项“经常争吵”均与原文相反。 17．根据第二段“We all wanted to play well alone and didn’t pass the ball to each other. We lost the first two matches.”说明输球的原因是大家各自为战、不相互传球，即没有合作。选项B中“They didn’t cooperate with each other”与此一致。 18．根据第二段“He asked us to communicate more and support each other.”可知，老师的要求是大家要多沟通、互相支持。 19．根据第三段“we passed the ball to each other and helped each other...our team became stronger and stronger.”说明球队是通过互相传球、互相帮助而变得更强。 20．根据第四段“I know that no one can succeed alone. Teamwork can make us achieve more.”以及从作者的经历和总结可以推断，文章想传达的道理是没有人能独自成功，团队合作才能取得更多成就。 C A great team can always achieve amazing goals (目标), but what really makes a team great? It is not the cleverest members or the strongest ability, but some important spirits. First, a great team must have a clear goal. All members know what they are working for and try their best to reach it. Without a common goal, the team will be like a ship without a direction. Second, trust and respect are necessary. Members should trust each other’s skills and respect different opinions. Even when they disagree, they will not argue but communicate politely. Third, cooperation plays a key role. Good team members do not care too much about personal honor. They share tasks and help each other to make the whole team better. Finally, the ability to face failure is important. When the team fails, members encourage each other instead of blaming. They learn from mistakes and keep moving forward. In a word, a great team is built on clear goals, trust, respect, cooperation and positive attitude. With these spirits, a team can overcome difficulties and become successful. 21．What makes a great team according to the passage? A．The cleverest members.B．Strongest ability. C．Important spirits.

A．鼓励 B．责备 C．帮助 D．忽视 25．What is the best title of the passage? A．What Makes a Great Team B．How to Choose Friends C．How to Be a Clever Student D．How to Make Personal Progress 【答案】21．C 22．A 23．B 24．B 25．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了什么才能让一个团队变得伟大。文章指出，真正让团队伟大的不是最聪明的成员或最强的能力，而是一些重要的精神：明确的目标、信任与尊重、合作精神以及面对失败的能力。 【详解】21．第一段明确指出：“It is not the cleverest members or the strongest ability, but some important spirits.”，这直接说明让一个团队伟大的是“重要的精神”，而非最聪明的成员或最强的能力。 22．第二段提到：“Without a common goal, the team will be like a ship without a direction.”，这说明没有明确目标的团队就像一艘没有方向的船。 23．第三段指出：“Even when they disagree, they will not argue but communicate politely.”，说明当成员意见不同时，他们不会争吵，而是礼貌地沟通。 24．第五段提到：“When the team fails, members encourage each other instead of blaming.”，句中“instead of”表示“而不是”，与“encourage（鼓励）”形成对比，因此“blaming”的意思应与“鼓励”相反，即“责备”。 25．全文围绕“What really makes a team great?”这一核心问题展开，从目标、信任、合作、面对失败四个方面进行阐述，最后总结伟大团队的要素，因此最佳标题为“What Makes a Great Team”。 D Ants are small, but their teamwork has long amazed scientists. A recent study shows that red imported fire ants (红火蚁) use a special way to survive floods: they link their bodies together to form living rafts (木筏) that can float (漂浮) for weeks. This is not just a simple act of cooperation— it is a highly organized team strategy (策略) that shows the key rules of successful teamwork. The process starts when the ground gets wet. Worker ants quickly gather eggs, young ants, and the queen into the center of the group. Larger, stronger ants form the outer layer (外层) of the raft, while smaller ants stay inside. By locking their legs and jaws together, they create a structure that can hold up to 100 times the weight of a single ant. This way, even if the raft hits rocks or sticks in the water, it stays whole. What makes this teamwork work so well? First, there is no single “leader”. Every ant knows its role: some gather food, some build the raft, and some care for the young. No one ant orders others around; instead, they follow chemical signals (化学信号) from their nestmates (同巢伙伴) . Second, they put the group’s safety above their own. The outer-layer ants are more likely to get wet or even die, but they keep the queen and the young safe. This “selfless cooperation” is the secret to their survival. Scientists believe we can learn a lot from fire ants. In human teams, people often argue about who is in charge or who gets credit (功劳) . But fire ants show that when everyone knows their role and works for the common goal, even the smallest teams can achieve big things. As one researcher put it, “The ants don’t care about being a hero. They care about keeping the team alive.” 26．Why do fire ants form living rafts during floods? A．To protect their queen and young. B．To find new homes quickly. C．To catch floating food. D．To fight other insects. 27．Which of the following is True about the fire ant raft? A．The queen stays on the outer layer. B．Smaller ants form the strong outer layer. C．It can carry heavy loads in water. D．It breaks easily when hitting rocks. 28．What is the key reason for the ants’ successful teamwork? A．A strong leader that gives orders. B．Clear roles and selfless cooperation. C．Large size and strong bodies. D．No need for food or water during floods. 29．What can we learn from the fire ants’ teamwork? A．Leaders are not needed in any team. B．Everyone should work for the team’s goal. C．Small teams cannot achieve big things. D．Selfish people can still work well in teams. 30．The writer wrote this passage mainly to ________. A．introduce the life cycle of fire ants B．explain how fire ants survive floods C．show what makes successful teamwork D．compare human teams with animal teams 【答案】26．A 27．C 28．B 29．B 30．C 【导语】本文介绍了红火蚁通过组成活木筏在洪水中生存的现象，揭示了其高效团队合作的秘诀，并指出其对人类团队合作具有重要启示。 26．第二段“Worker ants quickly gather eggs, young ants, and the queen into the center of the group.”指出他们将蚁后和幼蚁聚集到中心，以保护它们，对应选项A。 27．第二段“they create a structure that can hold up to 100 times the weight of a single ant. ”指出活木筏能承受单只蚂蚁100倍的重量，即可以承载重物。 28．第三段“Every ant knows its role”以及“they put the group’s safety above their own.”等内容表示他们有明确的角色定位和无私的合作精神，对应选项B。 29．第四段“when everyone knows their role and works for the common goal”强调团队成员应为共同目标努力。 30．根据全文内容以及第一段最后一句“ the key rules of successful teamwork.”可知，文章的核心目的是揭示团队合作成功的关键。 E Team spirit means that people work together and help each other as part of a team.

Some people don’t fully understand what team spirit means. 35 But team spirit can be built anywhere. It can be between friends, schoolmates, or even two people sitting next to each other.

Whether in school, sports or future workplaces, working well with others can make a big difference. But what is teamwork? Teamwork is the ability to work together towards the same goal. It includes communicating, sharing and respecting each other’s ideas. When we work together, we can combine (结合) our advantages and skills to solve problems. For example, in a school project, each team member may have different abilities. One student may be good at writing while another student may be good at researching. By sharing tasks, the team gets a higher quality result. In sports, teamwork is the key to success. A soccer team needs players to pass the ball, defend (防守) and score together. If they don’t work together, the team will lose. The members learn to trust and support each other, which helps them build strong relationships on the field. In addition, teamwork can create a sense of belonging (归属感) . When we work with others, we feel connected and valued. This connection can encourage us to do more. It also teaches us important life skills, like solving problems and helping others in trouble. In a word, teamwork is very important for success in many areas of life.

I learned the importance of teamwork from a basketball match last term. At first, our team was not good. We all wanted to play well alone and didn’t pass the ball to each other. We lost the first two matches and everyone felt upset. Our teacher told us that teamwork was the key to winning. He asked us to communicate more and support each other. After that, we changed our way. We talked about our plans before the match. During the match, we passed the ball to each other and helped each other. When one of us was in trouble, the others would give a hand. Little by little, our team became stronger and stronger. Finally, we won the third match. We were all very happy and proud. This experience taught me a lot. I know that no one can succeed alone. Teamwork can make us achieve more. In the future, I will learn to be a better team player and work with others together. 16．What is the key to a great team? A．Working alone. B．Arguing a lot. C．Teamwork.

C A great team can always achieve amazing goals (目标), but what really makes a team great? It is not the cleverest members or the strongest ability, but some important spirits. First, a great team must have a clear goal. All members know what they are working for and try their best to reach it. Without a common goal, the team will be like a ship without a direction. Second, trust and respect are necessary. Members should trust each other’s skills and respect different opinions. Even when they disagree, they will not argue but communicate politely. Third, cooperation plays a key role. Good team members do not care too much about personal honor. They share tasks and help each other to make the whole team better. Finally, the ability to face failure is important. When the team fails, members encourage each other instead of blaming. They learn from mistakes and keep moving forward. In a word, a great team is built on clear goals, trust, respect, cooperation and positive attitude. With these spirits, a team can overcome difficulties and become successful. 21．What makes a great team according to the passage? A．The cleverest members.B．Strongest ability. C．Important spirits.

A．What Makes a Great Team B．How to Choose Friends C．How to Be a Clever Student D．How to Make Personal Progress D Ants are small, but their teamwork has long amazed scientists. A recent study shows that red imported fire ants (红火蚁) use a special way to survive floods: they link their bodies together to form living rafts (木筏) that can float (漂浮) for weeks. This is not just a simple act of cooperation— it is a highly organized team strategy (策略) that shows the key rules of successful teamwork. The process starts when the ground gets wet. Worker ants quickly gather eggs, young ants, and the queen into the center of the group. Larger, stronger ants form the outer layer (外层) of the raft, while smaller ants stay inside. By locking their legs and jaws together, they create a structure that can hold up to 100 times the weight of a single ant. This way, even if the raft hits rocks or sticks in the water, it stays whole. What makes this teamwork work so well? First, there is no single “leader”. Every ant knows its role: some gather food, some build the raft, and some care for the young. No one ant orders others around; instead, they follow chemical signals (化学信号) from their nestmates (同巢伙伴) . Second, they put the group’s safety above their own. The outer-layer ants are more likely to get wet or even die, but they keep the queen and the young safe. This “selfless cooperation” is the secret to their survival. Scientists believe we can learn a lot from fire ants. In human teams, people often argue about who is in charge or who gets credit (功劳) . But fire ants show that when everyone knows their role and works for the common goal, even the smallest teams can achieve big things. As one researcher put it, “The ants don’t care about being a hero. They care about keeping the team alive.” 26．Why do fire ants form living rafts during floods? A．To protect their queen and young. B．To find new homes quickly. C．To catch floating food. D．To fight other insects. 27．Which of the following is True about the fire ant raft? A．The queen stays on the outer layer. B．Smaller ants form the strong outer layer. C．It can carry heavy loads in water. D．It breaks easily when hitting rocks. 28．What is the key reason for the ants’ successful teamwork? A．A strong leader that gives orders. B．Clear roles and selfless cooperation. C．Large size and strong bodies.
