本题核心考查一般过去时的动词变形规则，同时涉及neither...nor...结构的主谓一致知识点，符合七年级英语的学习要求：
1. 句中时间状语Last term（上学期）是典型的过去时间标志，谓语动词join要使用一般过去式joined。
2. 整段语境描述上学期加入校足球队后的过往经历，此处表示过去每天放学后的训练行为，动词train变为过去式trained。
3. 描述过去教练传授技巧的行为，teach属于不规则变化动词，过去式为taught。
4. 前半句"At first, I was not good at..."已经使用一般过去时，此处描述过去训练中经常犯错的行为，make的过去式为made。
5. 描述过去队友耐心鼓励我的过往行为，动词encourage变为过去式encouraged。
6. 此处是直接引语中表达的客观观点，neither...nor...结构遵循就近原则，靠近谓语的名词mistake是单数，因此动词stop使用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式stops。
7. 描述在队友帮助下我过去发生的状态变化，become属于不规则变化动词，过去式为became。
8. 时间状语Last month是过去时间标志，主语The match是单数，be动词的过去式用was。
9. 描述过去比赛过程中我们全力拼搏的行为，动词play变为过去式played。
10. 描述比赛获胜后大家欢呼的过往行为，动词cheer变为过去式cheered。
