Question

【题目】

Basketball is popular all over the world. But in Australia, people like to play netball(无挡板篮球), too. It is one of the most popular sports in Australia. The players are often girls. The sport is like basketball, but its rules are a little different. If a player gets the ball, she will only hold it for three seconds before shooting(投篮) or passing it to her teammates. There are seven players in each team. Each player has her own area to move in.

Girls at my school love the sport. We often had netball games this term. Something happened this month touched me deeply.

I was the defender(后卫). My job was toblockthe attacker(主攻手) from the other team. At the beginning, I wanted to win so much that I almost forgot my job. And it gave the other team a chance to get and pass the ball. During the break, our team leader gave me a serious talk, “If you really want to win, you should work with your teammates.”

And I did. In the second half of the game, I always stood in front of the attacker from the other team to block her sight. As a result, she missed the best time to attack. Our teammates got great long shots in. The score was 143 in the end. We won!

The game made me know the importance of teamwork and team spirit(精神). If everybody does what he or she likes and doesn't care about the whole team, the team will not work well.

【解析】

这篇短文中作者给我们讲述了在澳大利亚比较受欢迎的体育项目—无挡板篮球，这种运动与篮球相似，但规则有所不同。作者还通过讲述她参加的一场比赛告诉我们团队合作的重要性。

【1】细节理解题。根据短文第一段中The sport is like basketball, but its rules are a little different.可知，无挡板篮球与篮球非常相像，故应选C。根据But in Australia, people like to play netball可知A不对；根据The players are often girls可知B不对；根据There are seven players in each team.可知D不对。

【2】词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在的上下文I was the defender(后卫). My job was to block the attacker(主攻手) from the other team.可知，作者在场上的位置是后卫，是起防卫作用的，且句中提到了“对方球队的主攻手”，由此可猜测block意为“阻止”，故stop的意思与之相近，选A。

【3】细节理解题。根据短文第三段中At the beginning, I wanted to win so much that I almost forgot my job.可知，一开始作者只想赢，忘记了自己在场上的作用，导致对手得到机会。由此可知应选D。

【4】细节理解题。根据短文最后一段The game made me know the importance of teamwork and team spirit可知，通过这场比赛，作者学会了团队合作的重要性。由此可知应选B。

【5】推理判断题。这篇短文给我们介绍了澳大利亚非常受欢迎的一项运动—无挡板篮球，是与体育有关的，因此在报纸上的体育版块可以看到这样的短文。故选C。
