【題目】

Basketball fans around the world are mourning the death of American superstar Kobe Bryant.

Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday in California, along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven other people. He was 41 years old.

Bryant was an 18-time All-Star player. He won five NBA championships and two Olympic gold medals. He was widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of his generation during his 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The helicopter carrying Bryant and the others crashed into a hilly area in foggy conditions outside Los Angeles. Bryant lived south of Los Angeles and often used helicopters to travel around the area to save time and avoid Southern California traffic.

The cause of the crash is under investigation. It took place about 32 kilometers from Bryant's Mamba Sports Academy, a basketball training center in Newbury Park, California. Bryant was on his way to attend a youth basketball competition on Sunday with his daughter. Bryant and his wife, Vanessa, had four daughters.

When he retired from the NBA in 2016, Bryant was the third-leading scorer in NBA history with 33,643 points. He is widely expected to be elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame this year.

The basketball world and the Los Angeles community reacted to Bryant's death with an outpouring of sadness, disbelief and support.

In a statement, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Bryant was one of the greatest stars in the game. But he added, He will be remembered most for inspiring people around the world to pick up a basketball and compete to the very best of their ability.

這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述NBA籃球明星科比和他女兒在飛機(jī)事故中喪生，全世界的籃球迷們都在默哀，事故的原因還在調(diào)查之中。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven other people”可知飛機(jī)上除了科比和他女兒還有七個(gè)人，總共是9個(gè)人在飛機(jī)上。故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“on Sunday”判斷事故發(fā)生在星期天，不是在星期一或星期二，B和D選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。Jan.26th是星期天。故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段第一句“The cause of the crash is under investigation”可知事故原因仍然還在調(diào)查之中。故選D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段第二句“It took place about 32 kilometers from Bryant's Mamba Sports Academy, a basketball training center in Newbury Park”可知事故發(fā)生地在Newbury Park的一個(gè)籃球訓(xùn)練場(chǎng)，A選項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第六段“he retired from the NBA in 2016”可知1978年出生的科比退役是37歲，B選項(xiàng)表述正確；根據(jù)第六段“Bryant was the third-leading scorer in NBA history with 33,643 points”可知C選項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)最后一段“inspiring people around the world to pick up a basketball and compete to the very best of their ability”可知籃球粉絲們應(yīng)該被激勵(lì)去打籃球而不是停止打球，D選項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤。故選B。
