题文
阅读理解 After winning a big game, athletes are often asked how they attained that success.Most say theirachievement 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 clich? (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.1. What was the biggest problem with the author's team last season?A. Several key members were unable to play the games.

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解 After.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
