A great team is more than just a group of people working together. It requires trust, communication, and a common goal. Here is a story about a great team.
Last year, our school held a science competition. My classmates and I formed a team called “Explorers”. Our goal was to design a small robot that could help clean the classroom. At first, we faced many problems. Tom, our designer, wanted to make the robot look cool, but Lily, our engineer, thought function was more important. They argued for a long time and couldn’t reach an agreement. As a result, we fell behind other teams.
Our team leader, Mike, didn’t get angry. Instead, he asked Tom and Lily to talk about their ideas separately. He said, “We are a team. Everyone’s ideas are valuable. Let’s put ourselves in each other’s shoes.” After listening to Mike’s advice, Tom and Lily started to understand each other. Tom agreed to focus on function first, and Lily promised to make the robot look nice.
With everyone working together, we made great progress. We met every afternoon to discuss our design and solve problems. When we faced technical difficulties, we asked our science teacher for help. Finally, our robot won first prize in the competition.
Through this experience, we learned that a great team needs respect for each other’s ideas. A good leader should know how to resolve disagreements and encourage the team. Most importantly, teamwork makes the dream work.

1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.C

1. 细节理解题：根据文章第一段内容“Tom, our designer, wanted to make the robot look cool, but Lily, our engineer, thought function was more important. They argued for a long time and couldn’t reach an agreement.”可知两人对机器人的设计理念意见不一致，因此发生了争执，对应选项A。
2. 词义猜测题：结合前文Mike成功化解了Tom和Lily的矛盾，以及语境“好的领导者应该知道如何______并鼓励团队”，可以推断出划线短语“resolve disagreements”的中文含义是解决分歧，对应选项B。
3. 细节理解题：根据文章第三段内容“When we faced technical difficulties, we asked our science teacher for help.”可知团队遇到技术难题时，选择向科学老师求助，对应选项C。
4. 推理判断题：文中Mike在队员发生争执时没有生气，而是引导两人换位思考、互相理解，带领团队最终获奖，由此可以推断出Mike是一位懂得管理团队的优秀队长，其余选项均和原文内容不符，对应选项C。
5. 主旨大意题：文章开篇点明优秀的团队不止是成员共同工作，还需要信任、沟通和共同目标，随后通过团队参加科技比赛的经历，最终总结出什么样的要素才能造就优秀的团队，对应选项C。
