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

(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?！备鶕摼鋬热菘芍?， 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段中的答案相關句說“Bryant穿8號球衣穿了10個賽季”，第2段中的答案相關句說“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的推測?”，被選項中分別出現了細節(jié)信息及特征詞語(Jordan)， 分別利用它們作為答案線索結構， 在文章中查找對應的答案相關句， 可以首先對選項B進行判斷(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段中的倒數第3句(其他人說他可能正試圖把自己與邁克爾， 喬丹進行比較)與選項B內容一致， 因此B不是答案。 而該段段首句說“有各種各樣的推測” ， 因此該段內容應該與人們的推測有關。 因此該段就應該是答案相關段。選項A和C都在該段中有呼應得內容， 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句：

該段中的答案相關句說“喬丹說他選擇23號球衣是因為23大致是45的一半, 而他的大哥在大學里穿的是45號球衣”。顯然該句內容與選項C(這個數字與他哥哥曾經穿的球衣號有關)內容一致。

第3篇
Chronic(慢性的) diseases(疾病): the world’s leading (最主要的)killer
Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. Yet health experts say these conditions are often the most preventable. Chronic diseases include heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and lung disorders.
The World HEALTH organization says chronic diseases lead to about seventeen million early deaths each year. The United Nations agency expects more than three hundred eighty million people to die of chronic diseases by two thousand fifteen. It says about eighty percent of the deaths will happen in developing countries.
The WHO says chronic diseases now cause two-thirds of all deaths in the Asia- Pacific area. In ten years it could be almost three-fourths. People are getting sick in their most economically productive years. In fact, experts say chronic diseases are killing more middle-aged people in poorer countries than in wealthier ones.
The WHO estimates that chronic diseases will cost China alone more than five hundred million dollars in the next ten years. That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity. Russia and India are also expected to face huge economic losses.
Kim Hak-Su is the head of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. Last week in Bangkok he presented a W.H.O. report on the problem. It says deaths from chronic diseases have increased largely as the result of economic gains in man countries.
The report details the latest findings from nine countries. They include Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, India, and Nigeria. The others are Pakistan, Russia and Tanzania.
Mister Kim said infectious and parasitic diseases have until recently been the main killers in Asia and the Pacific. But he says they are no longer the major cause of death in most countries.
Health officials say as many as eighty percent of deaths from chronic diseases could be prevented. They say an important tool for governments is to restrict the marketing alcohol and tobacco to young people. Also, more programs are needed to urge healthy eating and more physical activity.
U.N. officials aim through international action to reduce chronic-disease deaths by two percent each year through two thousand fifteen. They say meeting that target could save thirty-six million lives. That includes twenty-five million in Asia and the Pacific.
1. How many people in developing countries are expected to die of chronic diseases by 2015?
A. more than 17 million B. more than 380 million
C. more than 304 million D. more than 25 million
2. Due to chronic diseases China will face
A. great pressure from other countries B. a limited economic market
C. a shortage of the labor force D. huge economic losses
3. Which can NOT be learned from the passage?
A. many chronic-disease deaths are preventable
B. chronic diseases are the major cause of death in most countries
C. chronic diseases are killing more middle-aged people than elderly people
D.economic gains in many countries have contributed to chronic-disease deaths
4. Until recently the main killers in Asia and the Pacific have been
A. economic gains B. lost productivity
C. chronic diseases D. infectious and parasitic diseases
5. Which is Not mentioned as a way to prevent chronic-disease deaths?
A. timely medical treatment B. healthy eating
C. more physical activity D. reduction in drinking and smoking
標準答案： C,D,C,D,A
解析：Chronic(慢性的) diseases(疾病): the world’s leading killer
1.C. 答案：細節(jié)題。利用問題中的特征詞“by 2015”和細節(jié)信息結構“people in developing countries” 作為答案線索， 在文章中查找答案相關句：
Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. Yet health experts say these conditions are often the most preventable. Chronic diseases include heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and lung disorders.
(第2段)The World HEALTH organization says chronic diseases lead to about seventeen million early deaths each year. The United Nations(聯合國) agency(機構)expects(預計) more than(比。。。多) three hundred eighty million(百萬) people to die of(死于) chronic diseases by two thousand fifteen. It says about eighty percent of the deaths(死亡) will happen(發(fā)生) in developing countries.
借助答案相關句的內容可知：380 * 80% = 304百萬人將死于慢性疾病。
2. D. 答案：B， D為有關系選項， 從中可能出答案。 利用問題句中的特征詞China作為答案線索，在文章中查找答案相關句：
(第4段)The WHO (世界健康組織)estimates(估計) that chronic diseases will cost(花費) China alone(獨自地， 單獨的) more than(比。。。多) five hundred million(百萬) dollars in the next (下一個的)ten years. That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity. Russia(俄國) and India(印度) are also expected (預計)to face(面臨) huge economic losses.
第4段最后一句提到“俄國和印度也被預計將面臨巨大的經濟損失”， 因此判斷同一段落中提到的中國面臨的問題也是巨大的經濟損失。因此D是答案。
3.C. 答案：C選項涉及典型細節(jié)信息詞，因此可以首先對這個選項進行判斷。
(第3段)The WHO says chronic diseases now cause two-thirds of all deaths in the Asia- Pacific area. In ten years it could be almost three-fourths. People are getting sick in their most economically productive years. In fact(實際上), experts (專家)say chronic diseases are killing(殺死) more middle-aged people in poorer(更窮的) countries than in wealthier (更富有的)ones(代詞，指代國家). (與C不一致， 而且文章中的其他地方沒有再提到“中年人”的情況， 因此判斷C的內容在文章中沒有呼應的內容)
The WHO estimates that chronic diseases will cost alone more than five hundred million dollars in the next ten years. That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity. Russia and India are also expected to face huge economic losses.
(第5段)Kim Hak-Su is the head of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. Last week in Bangkok he presented a W.H.O. report on the problem. It(報告) says deaths from (由于。。。造成的死亡)chronic diseases have increased(增加) largely(大大地， 主要地) as the result of(作為。。。的結果) economic gains in many countries(國家).(與D一致)
4.答案：D。 可利用問題句中的特征詞Asia和the Pacific作為答案線索， 在文章中查找答案相關句：
(第7段) Mister Kim said infectious(傳染性的) and parasitic(寄生蟲的) diseases have until recently been the main killers in Asia and the Pacific. But he says they are no longer the major cause of death in most countries.
根據答案相關句判斷D是答案。
5.A. 利用被選項中的細節(jié)信息結構作為答案線索， 在文章中查找答案相關句：
(第8段)Health officials (健康官員)say as many as (與。。。一樣多的， 多達)eighty percent of deaths from (因為。。造成的死亡)chronic diseases could be prevented(防止). They say (說)an important(重要的)tool(手段， 工具) for governments(政府) is to restrict (限制)the marketing(銷售) alcohol and tobacco(煙草) to young people. Also(同樣， 也), more programs(計劃) are needed (需要)to urge(促進， 催促) healthy eating and more physical activity.
從答案相關句可以看出只有A(及時的醫(yī)學治療)沒有提到。

Chronic(慢性的) diseases(疾病): the world’s leading (最主要的)killer
Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. Yet health experts say these conditions are often the most preventable. Chronic diseases include heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and lung disorders.
The World HEALTH organization says chronic diseases lead to about seventeen million early deaths each year. The United Nations agency expects more than three hundred eighty million people to die of chronic diseases by two thousand fifteen. It says about eighty percent of the deaths will happen in developing countries.
The WHO says chronic diseases now cause two-thirds of all deaths in the Asia- Pacific area. In ten years it could be almost three-fourths. People are getting sick in their most economically productive years. In fact, experts say chronic diseases are killing more middle-aged people in poorer countries than in wealthier ones.
The WHO estimates that chronic diseases will cost China alone more than five hundred million dollars in the next ten years. That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity. Russia and India are also expected to face huge economic losses.
Kim Hak-Su is the head of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. Last week in Bangkok he presented a W.H.O. report on the problem. It says deaths from chronic diseases have increased largely as the result of economic gains in man countries.
The report details the latest findings from nine countries. They include Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, India, and Nigeria. The others are Pakistan, Russia and Tanzania.
Mister Kim said infectious and parasitic diseases have until recently been the main killers in Asia and the Pacific. But he says they are no longer the major cause of death in most countries.
Health officials say as many as eighty percent of deaths from chronic diseases could be prevented. They say an important tool for governments is to restrict the marketing alcohol and tobacco to young people. Also, more programs are needed to urge healthy eating and more physical activity.
U.N. officials aim through international action to reduce chronic-disease deaths by two percent each year through two thousand fifteen. They say meeting that target could save thirty-six million lives. That includes twenty-five million in Asia and the Pacific.

解析：Chronic(慢性的) diseases(疾病): the world’s leading killer
1.C. 答案：細節(jié)題。利用問題中的特征詞“by 2015”和細節(jié)信息結構“people in developing countries” 作為答案線索， 在文章中查找答案相關句：
Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. Yet health experts say these conditions are often the most preventable. Chronic diseases include heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and lung disorders.
(第2段)The World HEALTH organization says chronic diseases lead to about seventeen million early deaths each year. The United Nations(聯合國) agency(機構)expects(預計) more than(比。。。多) three hundred eighty million(百萬) people to die of(死于) chronic diseases by two thousand fifteen. It says about eighty percent of the deaths(死亡) will happen(發(fā)生) in developing countries.
借助答案相關句的內容可知：380 * 80% = 304百萬人將死于慢性疾病。
2. D. 答案：B， D為有關系選項， 從中可能出答案。 利用問題句中的特征詞China作為答案線索，在文章中查找答案相關句：
(第4段)The WHO (世界健康組織)estimates(估計) that chronic diseases will cost(花費) China alone(獨自地， 單獨的) more than(比。。。多) five hundred million(百萬) dollars in the next (下一個的)ten years. That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity. Russia(俄國) and India(印度) are also expected (預計)to face(面臨) huge economic losses.
第4段最后一句提到“俄國和印度也被預計將面臨巨大的經濟損失”， 因此判斷同一段落中提到的中國面臨的問題也是巨大的經濟損失。因此D是答案。
3.C. 答案：C選項涉及典型細節(jié)信息詞，因此可以首先對這個選項進行判斷。
(第3段)The WHO says chronic diseases now cause two-thirds of all deaths in the Asia- Pacific area. In ten years it could be almost three-fourths. People are getting sick in their most economically productive years. In fact(實際上), experts (專家)say chronic diseases are killing(殺死) more middle-aged people in poorer(更窮的) countries than in wealthier (更富有的)ones(代詞，指代國家). (與C不一致， 而且文章中的其他地方沒有再提到“中年人”的情況， 因此判斷C的內容在文章中沒有呼應的內容)
The WHO estimates that chronic diseases will cost alone more than five hundred million dollars in the next ten years. That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity. Russia and India are also expected to face huge economic losses.
(第5段)Kim Hak-Su is the head of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. Last week in Bangkok he presented a W.H.O. report on the problem. It(報告) says deaths from (由于。。。造成的死亡)chronic diseases have increased(增加) largely(大大地， 主要地) as the result of(作為。。。的結果) economic gains in many countries(國家).(與D一致)
4.答案：D。 可利用問題句中的特征詞Asia和the Pacific作為答案線索， 在文章中查找答案相關句：
(第7段) Mister Kim said infectious(傳染性的) and parasitic(寄生蟲的) diseases have until recently been the main killers in Asia and the Pacific. But he says they are no longer the major cause of death in most countries.
根據答案相關句判斷D是答案。
5.A. 利用被選項中的細節(jié)信息結構作為答案線索， 在文章中查找答案相關句：
(第8段)Health officials (健康官員)say as many as (與。。。一樣多的， 多達)eighty percent of deaths from (因為。。造成的死亡)chronic diseases could be prevented(防止). They say (說)an important(重要的)tool(手段， 工具) for governments(政府) is to restrict (限制)the marketing(銷售) alcohol and tobacco(煙草) to young people. Also(同樣， 也), more programs(計劃) are needed (需要)to urge(促進， 催促) healthy eating and more physical activity.
從答案相關句可以看出只有A(及時的醫(yī)學治療)沒有提到。
