　　Teamwork is all about working together to achieve a common goal or purpose. Is teamwork out of date? Why is it so hard to effectively conduct teamwork in those days?

　　One way we employ teamwork in everyday lives is by becoming a parent, It is parents' job to teach their children the basic skills and give them the knowledge they need to be successful in life. This, to me, requires teamwork. For example, the mother teaches her children manners and good health skills, while the father teaches them how to catch a ball or drive a car. However, in today's society, we find that more and more parents are feeling that this teamwork is a one­sided thing. According to a report ，there are 13.7 million single parents raising their children in the US and this could be due to the fact that parents don't take responsibility for their children, so they leave one parent to do it alone. This is a sad fact, and it reflects that effective teamwork is losing ground in the parenting aspect of our everyday lives.

　　Another place where teamwork affects us greatly is in our jobs. It doesn't matter if you have a small company or a large company: if you have at least one employee and yourself，then teamwork works. I have noticed that with the current economic recession (衰退), people are racing to grab jobs but the quality of people's work has gone down greatly.It just appears to me that people do not take pride in their work any more. They get to work as fast as they can，just to receive the paycheck, but their quality standards fly_right_out_of_the_window. So I think teamwork is losing ground in the workforce.

　　As you can see, we run into the aspects of teamwork in just about everything we do. Do you believe teamwork is really losing ground in today's society? I think it is.

　　语篇解读：本文为议论文。作者通过分析团队精神在家庭生活中和职场上的丧失，说明了团队精神在被越来越多的人所忽视。

　　1．Why does teamwork disappear in the parenting aspect of our daily life?

　　A．Parents have no time to spare for their children.

　　B．Parents have no chances to teach their children about it.

　　C．Many children are often brought up by a single parent.

　　D．Many children are independent to deal with their matters.

　　答案：C　事实细节题。根据第二段中第五句“According to a report ，there are 13.7 million single parents raising their children in the US and this could be due to the fact that parents don't take responsibility for their children, so they leave one parent to do it alone.”可推知答案为C项。

　　2．Teamwork is losing ground in the workforce mainly because ________.

　　A．workers don't like to work together with others

　　B．workers' sense is affected by economic recession

　　C．workers want to prove they are more capable

　　D．fewer workers are employed to save money

　　答案：B　事实细节题。根据第三段第三句中的“I have noticed that with the current economic recession (衰退), people are racing to grab jobs but the quality of people's work has gone down greatly.”可知经济衰退影响了工人的观念，故答案为B项。

　　3．The author wants us to believe his opinion by ________.

　　A．listing some data B．giving some examples

　　C．asking some questions D．analyzing some cases

　　答案：D　推理判断题。作者通过分析家庭生活中和职场上团队精神缺失的案例来支持自己的观点，故答案为D项。

　　4．The underlined phrase “fly right out of the window” in Paragraph 3 means ________.

　　A．disappear B．improve

　　C．increase D．matter

　　答案：A　猜测词义题。上文提到由于经济衰退，工人们不再注意工作质量了，人们也不再为自己的工作感到骄傲了。他们想尽快找到工作只是为了挣工资，但他们工作质量的标准被忽视了。由此可见本题答案为A项。

　　B

　　(2015·绵阳市一诊模拟)

　　My daughter recently asked me what a travel agency does. There is one located on our street and it has just been completely rebuilt. I told her that they helped people book their trips and vacations. “Why haven't we ever been there？” she wanted to know. “Because we do everything ourselves online these days” I explained. “But why do it yourself if other people want to do it for you？” she wondered out loud.

　　The answer is that the travel agency makes a little bit of money on each ticket you book through them. If you book your ticket yourself online, you save that money. Saving money sounds great except that when you think about it you typically spend three evenings comparing prices to end up saving $30 on a $300 trip. All those $30 discounts add up of course so I guess we should be happy with that.

　　Consider books for a moment. Buying your book at Amazon saves you maybe 30% to 40% on each book. Add to that the convenience of shopping from home and getting the package delivered to your home address. So far so good. Unfortunately, that does mean you spend too much time browsing Amazon. com while you could do something fun instead. Like maybe reading an actual book?

　　Then the package arrives and you aren't home and end up having to pick it up at the local post­office. All in all I wonder how much time I end up investing in the whole process. Time sounds free, but to most of us, it is more valuable than money.

　　The Internet Economy promised to get rid of the middle—men and we loved it. Somehow, I'm starting to get the feeling that we ourselves ended up doing the work of that middle—men we were so eager to get rid of.

　　In any project you can always pick two of these: fast, cheap or good. We seem to have focused a lot on 'cheap' and 'good' but the extra time we need to invest to also keep it 'fast' comes out of our own pockets.

　　You can always make more money but you can never make more time.

　　语篇解读：文章讲述的是网购虽然可以节省我们的开支，但是却花了我们大量的时间，省钱是有代价的。

　　5．What is the purpose of paragraph 1 ?

　　A．It mainly shows the curiosity of the author's daughter.

　　B．It indicates that the Internet has influenced our daily life.

　　C．It tells us the importance of a travel agency.

　　D．It shows why people need a travel agency.

　　答案：B　主旨大意题。根据第一段第五句“Because we do everything ourselves online these days”可知，现在人们的生活受到了英特网的影响，故选B项。

　　6．What can be inferred from paragraph 2 ?

　　A．We should be satisfied with $30 that we have saved because it is worthwhile.

　　B．$30 that we have saved is too little, so we can't be happy with it.

　　C．We should feel regretful although $30 is worth the time we have spent.

　　D．It's hard for us to be happy with $30 because we have wasted a lot of time.

　　答案：D　段落大意题。根据第二段第二句提到“If you book your ticket yourself online, you save that money. Saving money sounds great except that when you think about it you typically spend three evenings comparing prices to end up saving $30 on a $300 trip.”可知我们花很多时间省了30块钱，故选D项。

　　7．What's the author's attitude towards the Internet Economy?

　　A．Positive B．Indifferent

　　C．Neutral D．Critical

　　答案：D　推理判断题。根据文章中作者讲到网购的好处和存在的问题可以得知，作者不是全面肯定网购。

　　8．What's the best title for the passage?

　　A．The convenience of the Internet Economy.

　　B．How to save time in the Internet Economy.

　　C．The hidden cost of the Internet Economy.

　　D．How to save money in the Internet Economy.

　　答案：C　推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，作者认为网购虽然省了一些钱，但是花费了很多的时间，这就是网购的隐藏代价，故选C项。
