第2篇
Kobe Bryant
After 10 seasons wearing the No. 8 on his back, Kobe Bryant will become No 24 next season. The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.
Bryant wore No at when he was in early high school, but he changed to No 33 in his senior year. He switched to No 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996, and has been not changed since.
Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs. So guessing Bryant’s motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists.
There are all kinds of speculations. Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start. He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole. Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan. Jordan was famous for his No 23 jersey. Some, such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre, argue that it is “all about money”. Bryant will make more money by selling new jersey to his fans.
Some speculations are more about fun. For example, there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a dihard fan of the popular TV drama “24”.
All this talk has turned the number changed into a major issue. It seems that there is a lot of fuss over something that should be pretty simple.
Jersey numbers have their own special significance in American sports, especially basketball. Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career. When a great player retires, his team will honor him by retiring his number.
To some extent, the jersey is the player, and the player is jersey. Thus, when you see the famous No 23 for the Chicago Bulls, you immediately think about Michael Jordan. A No 32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O’ Neal, and the Houston rockets’ No 11 belongs only to Yao Ming.
Lots of stories are behind players’ jersey number selections. Jordan said that he choose No 23 because it was roughly half of 45. Jordan’s elder brother wore the No 45 in college. Yao Ming once revealed that the No 11 stands for two people in love – meaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.
1. Which team has Bryant played for?
A. the Los Angels Lakers
B. The Houston rockets.
C. The Chicago Bulls
D. The Miami Heats
2. How long has Bryant Wore No 8?
A. for two years and a half
B. for ten years
C. since he entered high school
D. since he left high school.
3. Which of the following is NOT a speculation about Bryant’s motive to change his number?
A. he wants to leave his past behind and have a fresh start
B. he wants to compare himself to Jordan
C. he wants to earn more money
D. he wants to show that he is man of great importance
4. Why did Jordan choose No 23?
A. because that number would make him famous
B. because that number will make you miss him
C. because that number was related to the number his brother once wore
D. because that number was easy to remember
5. What does the number Yao Ming chose stand for?
A. two long legs
B. two long arms
C. two tall people in love
D. tow big countries
標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案： A,B,D,C,C
解析：Kobe Bryant (科比. 布萊恩特)
1.A. 問題問“Bryant一直是為哪個隊打比賽?”， 被選項都是專有名詞(特征詞)， 分別利用它們作為答案線索， 在文章中查找與它們分別對應(yīng)的相關(guān)句，進(jìn)行一一判斷：
(第1段)After 10 seasons wearing the No. 8 on his back, Kobe Bryant will become No 24 next season. The reason for (…的原因)the surprising (令人吃驚的)decision by (由…作出的決定)the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week (上周)has become a hot topic for (…的話題)debate.
第1段最后一句中出現(xiàn)了the Los Angels Lakers， 該句說“洛杉磯鹽胡人隊的這位超級后衛(wèi)作出的這個決定， 讓人吃驚， 而造成其決定的原因成為了人們討論的一個熱點話題。 ”從該句中可知， Bryant現(xiàn)在是在為洛杉磯鹽胡人隊打比賽。
(第2段)Bryant wore No at when he was in early high school, but he changed to No 33 in his senior year. He switched to (轉(zhuǎn)變成)No 8 when he was selected by (被…挑選)the Lakers in 1996, and has been not changed(改變) since(后來，自從， 既然 ).
第2段的最后一句中再次出現(xiàn)the Los Angels Lakers， 該句說“1996年他被洛杉磯鹽胡人隊選為隊員后， 他的球衣變成了8號， 從那以后他的球衣號就再也沒有變過?！备鶕?jù)該句內(nèi)容可知， Bryant從1996年以后一直是為洛杉磯鹽胡人隊打比賽。 因此A是答案。
2.B. 問題問“Bryant穿8號球衣穿了多久?”利用題干中的特征詞No 8作為答案線索， 在文章中查找答案相關(guān)句：
(第1段)After 10 seasons wearing the No. 8 on his back, Kobe Bryant will become No 24 next season. The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.
(第2段)Bryant wore No at when he was in early high school, but he changed to No 33 in his senior year. He switched to No 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996, and has been not changed since.
第1段中的答案相關(guān)句說“Bryant穿8號球衣穿了10個賽季”， 第2段中的答案相關(guān)句說“1996年他被洛杉磯鹽胡人隊選為隊員后， 他的球衣變成了8號， 從那以后他的球衣號就再也沒有變過?！笨梢夿ryant穿8號球衣穿了10個賽季(也就是10年)， 因此B是答案。
3.D. 問題問“下列哪項不是對Bryant改變他球衣號碼動機(jī)的推測?”，被選項中分別出現(xiàn)了細(xì)節(jié)信息及特征詞語(Jordan)， 分別利用它們作為答案線索結(jié)構(gòu)， 在文章中查找對應(yīng)的答案相關(guān)句， 可以首先對選項B進(jìn)行判斷(包含特征詞Jordan):
After 10 seasons wearing the No. 8 on his back, Kobe Bryant will become No 24 next season. The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.
Bryant wore No at when he was in early high school, but he changed to No 33 in his senior year. He switched to No 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996, and has been not changed since.
Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs. So guessing Bryant’s motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists.
(第4段)There are all kinds of(各種各樣的) speculations. Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start(與選項A一致). He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole. Others(其他人) say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan. Jordan was famous for (因…而出名)his No 23 jersey(運(yùn)動衫). (與選項B內(nèi)容一致)Some, such as(例如) NBC Sport columnist (專欄作家)Michael Ventre, argue(主張認(rèn)為) that it is “all about money”. Bryant will make more money by selling new jersey(球衣) to his fans(球迷) (與選項C一致).
第4段中的倒數(shù)第3句(其他人說他可能正試圖把自己與邁克爾， 喬丹進(jìn)行比較)與選項B內(nèi)容一致， 因此B不是答案。 而該段段首句說“有各種各樣的推測” ， 因此該段內(nèi)容應(yīng)該與人們的推測有關(guān)。 因此該段就應(yīng)該是答案相關(guān)段。 選項A和C都在該段中有呼應(yīng)得內(nèi)容， 因此只有D沒有被提到。
4.C. 問題問“喬丹為什么選擇23號球衣?”利用題干中的特征詞Jordan和No 23作為答案線索，在文章中找到答案相關(guān)句：
(第4段) There are all kinds of speculations. Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start. He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole. Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan. Jordan was famous for (因為…而出名)his No 23 jersey(運(yùn)動衫). Some, such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre, argue that it is “all about money”. Bryant will make more money by selling new jersey to his fans. (該段中的答案相關(guān)句沒有解釋喬丹選擇13號球衣的原因)
Some speculations are more about fun. For example, there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a dihard fan of the popular TV drama “24”.
All this talk has turned the number changed into a major issue. It seems that there is a lot of fuss over something that should be pretty simple.
Jersey numbers have their own special significance in American sports, especially basketball. Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career. When a great player retires, his team will honor him by retiring his number.
To some extent, the jersey is the player, and the player is jersey. Thus, when you see the famous No 23 for the Chicago Bulls(芝加哥公牛隊), you immediately think about(想起， 考慮) Michael Jordan. A No 32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O’ Neal, and the Houston rockets’ No 11 belongs only to Yao Ming.(該段的答案相關(guān)句只是說“當(dāng)你看到芝加哥公牛隊的23號時，你會立刻想起邁克爾. 喬丹”， 沒有解釋喬丹選擇23號球衣的原因)
(最后一段)Lots of stories are behind players’ jersey number selections. Jordan said that he choose No 23 because it was roughly(大致， 粗略地) half(一半) of 45. Jordan’s elder brother(大哥) wore the No 45 in college(學(xué)院). Yao Ming once revealed that the No 11 stands for two people in love – meaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.
該段中的答案相關(guān)句說“喬丹說他選擇23號球衣是因為23大致是45的一半, 而他的大哥在大學(xué)里穿的是45號球衣”。顯然該句內(nèi)容與選項C(這個數(shù)字與他哥哥曾經(jīng)穿的球衣號有關(guān))內(nèi)容一致。
5.解析：問題問“姚明選擇的數(shù)字所代表的意義是什么? ”利用問題句中的特征詞Yao Ming 作為答案線索， 在文章中查找答案相關(guān)句：
(倒數(shù)第2段)To some extent, the jersey is the player, and the player is jersey. Thus, when you see the famous No 23 for the Chicago Bulls, you immediately think about Michael Jordan. A No 32 Miami Heats (邁阿密. 熱火) jersey recalls(使回憶起) the image(映像，肖像，圖像) of Shaquille O’ Neal(沙奎爾. 奧尼爾), and the Houston rockets(休士頓火箭隊) ’ No 11 belongs only to(屬于) Yao Ming.

Yao Ming once (曾經(jīng))revealed (揭示(球衣數(shù)字的秘密))that the No 11 stands for (代表)two people in love(相愛的) – meaning(意思是指， 想要， 關(guān)系重大) him and his girlfriend Ye Li.
文章最后一句是該題的真正答案相關(guān)句，該句說“姚明曾經(jīng)揭示了11號球衣數(shù)字的秘密， 他說11代表兩個相愛的人 – 他和他的女朋友葉莉。 ”

第4段中的倒數(shù)第3句(其他人說他可能正試圖把自己與邁克爾， 喬丹進(jìn)行比較)與選項B內(nèi)容一致， 因此B不是答案。 而該段段首句說“有各種各樣的推測” ， 因此該段內(nèi)容應(yīng)該與人們的推測有關(guān)。 因此該段就應(yīng)該是答案相關(guān)段。 選項A和C都在該段中有呼應(yīng)得內(nèi)容， 因此只有D沒有被提到。

Bryant will make more money by selling new jersey to his fans. (該段中的答案相關(guān)句沒有解釋喬丹選擇13號球衣的原因)
Some speculations are more about fun. For example, there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a dihard fan of the popular TV drama “24”.
All this talk has turned the number changed into a major issue. It seems that there is a lot of fuss over something that should be pretty simple.
