Words：616 难度系数：☆☆ 建议用时：8′
(2010年黄冈模拟)After winning a big game，athletes are often asked how they attained that success.Most say their achievement is the result of gruelling hard work and intense practice.Usually athletes say how hard it is to win the big games.At the opposite end of the spectrum，however，is the fact that losing the big game，or，in my case，all the games，can be even tougher.
From the spectators’ point of view，last year’s basketball season for my high school team was nothing short of an embarrassment.And while 0 and 20 is certainly nothing to be proud of，that season had a bigger impact on me than any other，and probably more than any season since.
As a team captain，I knew it probably wouldn’t be the easiest year，but did I ever think we would lose every game? Of course not.Since six of our top players had graduated，it was clear that we were a young team who would struggle.The struggle began earlier than expected，though，as our team’s starting center was suspended for the season，and two key members decided to quit after two weeks.At some point，quitting probably passed through every player’s mind，but，in the end，we all stuck it out，vowing to work even harder.
Then there came a time when even our own coach had given up on us.Personally，I felt like it was no longer worth giving my all.I thought，if even the coach doesn’t believe in us，why should I? But just as my hope began to fade，a teammate called a meeting. He said，“Nobody thinks we’re going to win，and heck，we may not，but
，
as
teammates
and
friends
，
we_owe_it_to_each_other_to_give_it_our_all_every_game.”
Sure，it was a little cliche (陈旧的)，but it was that moment that taught me how to be a leader.It hit me then that I may have been a captain，but I，like others in my position，certainly didn’t deserve the role.As a leader you can never quit on the team who looks up to you.It is one thing to be named captain and feel great and go through the motions，but it is quite another to be a real captain and make sure everyone works to their potential all the time.
I am sure it is great to go through high school without losing and bringing home awards.But in all honesty，I relish the fact that my team lost every game last year.It may not help me to become a better basketball player，but it already has made me a better leader，and person.
【解题导语】 成功固然光荣，失败依然可敬。带领残兵败将参加篮球比赛的整个悲壮的过程让作者深有感悟。
1．What was the biggest problem with the author’s team last season?
A．Several key members were unable to play the games. B．Their coach no longer wanted to instruct them. C．There were no actual leaders on the team. D．Most of players lost hope and wanted to quit.
解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第三段中的内容可推断作者所在球队在上个赛季遇到的最大问题是大多数队员丧失了希望，想要放弃。第四段的开头部分叙述的是甚至教练在一段时间也放弃了这个球队，而不是说教练不再想指导他们，所以B项不对。
2．In the text，the author seems to suggest that a good leader should ________. A．be confident about himself B．make sure everyone goes all out C．work hard to win the games D．feel great about his team
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段后半部分的内容可知作者建议好的领导应该让每个人充分发挥潜能，全力以赴。
3．By saying “we owe it to each other to give it our all every game.”(Paragraph 4) the teammate means that all of them should ________.
A．be responsible for the losses B．try their best on the court
C．feel thankful for what they’ve done D．get together to win every game
解析：选B。推理判断题。本句前半部分提到没有人认为他们会赢，再结合本句中的转折词but可推断队友的意思是他们在赛场上要尽最大努力。
4．What is the main idea the author aims to express in the text? A．Success is the result of hard work. B．A friend in need is a friend indeed. C．One can learn something from the failure. D．A real leader should never give up.
解析：选C。主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段可判断此项正确。 Ⅳ.书面表达

Save In Everyday Life
As a middle school student，we should take an active part in creating a society that saves.
On the one hand，the natural resources are limited.We don’t have enough water，oil or forest in many places.On the other hand，people keep cutting down more trees and letting out more carbon dioxide.At the same time，everyone can see that the environment is getting worse，People suffer from more typhoons and tornados nowadays.What’s worse，air and water pollution is becoming more and more serious.
In my opinion，we students should do something to stop wasting.We can save food，water，paper，electricity，etc.in our daily life.Meanwhile，we should take buses instead of cars，refuse to use chopsticks which are only used once and don’t use plastic bags.
