16.When an NBA player is young he thinks he can win the championship by himself.When he becomes old and has been through many battles,he learns an important lesson:There is no"I"in"team".
There is no better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics.Paul Pierce,Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams.Yet,none of them had any titles.Then,they decided to sacrifice money and individual statistics to play together.Garnet and Allen joined Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.
Garnett and Allen are two of the most intense players in the world.They treat every second of every practice like it is the NBA championship.If you want to play alongside them,you will have to do the same.So,the young guys on the Celtics started giving their full effort too.
Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years.He used to shoot the ball many times a game.But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and focused on defense.His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that mattered.
When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost over,Garnett,Pierce and Allen would come out of the game.But they wouldn't just sit on the bench.Instead,they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates.They gave their teammates support.
Now,the guys who don't play know they still affect the game by cheering so they cheer when Garnett,Allen and Pierce are playing.The Celtics have developed a strong relationship.They are more than just teammates,but brothers.
The result:the Boston Celtics won the 2008 NBA championship.
As a saying goes,"A successful team beats with one heart."If this is the case,the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.

分析 本文通过NBA联盟中的凯尔特人队获得总冠军的经历告诉我们团队合作要远远重于个人英雄主义.当沃尔特?雷?阿伦和凯文•加内特加入波士顿凯尔特人后,与原有当家球星全能小前锋保罗•皮尔斯组成了"三大巨头"阵容,但是在这里没有超级巨星,只有无私奉献,为了共同的梦想,他们团结一致、并肩作战、体现了真正的团队精神,终于赢得了NBA总冠军,在本文中作者讲述了他们的这种超强的团队精神.
解答 24.C 逻辑推理题.文章第二段中说道,皮尔斯,加内特,和雷阿伦他们在自己的队伍中都是超级巨星,但是都没有能够获得总冠军.回来来到凯尔特人队以后运用团队合作,获得了总冠军.正是为了说明团队精神是团队中最重要的事情.故C正确.
25.C 细节理解题.解答本题可采用排除法.A、凯尔特人队的年轻球员们付出了他们的全部努力去练习打篮球.B、皮尔斯改变自己--少投篮,多防守.D、比赛进行中,加内特、皮尔斯和雷.阿伦为他们的队友欢呼尖叫.这三个选项均能表现出团队的合作精神.C、加内特、皮尔斯和雷.阿伦打得很努力,直到比赛结束.这一选项凸显的是个人主义,故答案选C.
26.D 段落大意题.根据第四段的最后一句话"His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that mattered.他的无私向年轻球员表明做让球队更好的事情是唯一要紧的事情."可知:为了让球队变得更好,打篮球时,皮尔斯做了一些牺牲.故答案选D.
27.B 逻辑推理题.根据文章的主题段第一段When an NBA player is young he thinks he can win the championship by himself.It is only later when he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson:there is no"I"in"team".和第二段的第一句"There is no better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics."说明本文以凯尔特人队为例子告诉我们团队合作的重要性,故B正确.
