【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者和哥哥小的时候不仅偷偷的拿出红药水涂在哥哥受伤的膝盖处还把红药水涂在身体不舒服的妈妈的身体多个部位上，当妈妈醒来时，看到镜子里的自己时，忍不住大笑起来。如果有人问起这件事，他们会坚持说妈妈的病已经被红药水的魔力治愈了。这样的令人搞笑的事情使兄妹领略到了红药水的魔力。
（1）考查名词。句意：这有利于伤口、抓伤或其他伤口的愈合。A. matters“事情”；B. worries“担心”；C. troubles“麻烦”；D. wounds“伤口”。or连接的是表示伤口类型的三个词，所以由“ cuts, scratches (抓痕)”可知，other应接wounds。wound指的是“刀伤，枪伤”。故选D。

（6）考查名词。句意：几分钟过去了，罗尼注意到膝盖上有一处划痕，需要立即处理。A. service“服务”；B. attention“照顾”；C. advice“建议”；D. study“学习”。根据生活常识，无论是大伤小伤都需要处理一下。故选B。

When an NBA player is young, he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later 36 he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson: there is no "I" in "team". There is 37 better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. 38., none of them had any titles to show for it. Then, last season, they decided to 39 money and individual statistics to play together. Garnett and Allen joined Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process. It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the most intense athletes in the world. They 40 every second of every practice like it as the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. Therefore, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their 41 effort too. Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He used to shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and focused on 42__. His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that mattered. When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost 43 , Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they w ouldn?t just sit on the bench. Instead, they stood and cheered and screamed 44 their teammates. They wanted to support their friends and teammates. Now, the guys who don't play know they can still affect the game by 45 , so they scream and cheer when Garnett, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have developed a strong relationship. They are 46 just teammates. They are brothers. The result: the Boston Celtics won the 2008 NBA championship and are considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year. There is a saying that goes, "A successful team beats with one 47." If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in
