Ⅲ.阅读理解
Without superstars Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, who was Team USA's star player in the FIBA World Championship (锦标赛)? The answer, says USA Today, is Kevin Durant (凯文·杜兰特). Although he turns just 22 on September 29, the newspaper says “He is in position to be the face of the USA basketball in the future, too.” Why him, you may wonder?
The numbers say it all. Durant averaged a team­high of 17. 7 points in 23.3 minutes. He helped Americans win their first world championship in 16 years and was also named MVP (most valuable player) in the competition. Durant has enjoyed rapid career development since he joined the NBA in 2019. He has won many awards — rookie (新人) of the year and youngest scoring champion. However, the world championship was his first major international action.
Why was that?
The Washington Post reports that Durant was cut in the last minute from a team that went on to play in the 2019 Olympics. He was part of a team asked to practice with the Olympic squad (队) as it prepared for Beijing.
“Leaning back in a chair, arms folded after his task was complete, Durant looked around a gym as Bryant, James, Dwyane Wade and the other stars ... filled up bags with sweats (球衣) and shoes, getting ready for the long flight to China，” writes Michael Lee, reporter with The Washington Post.
“I wanted to be a part of it badly. I prayed every night that they would pick me，” Durant told Lee. “Only the best guys get picked, so I got to work to be one of them. Hopefully before I'm done, I can be on an Olympic team.” Now Durant is in a different position: He may well be the most important player on the team which will play at the 2019 London Olympics.
In August, Durant was surprised when he didn't get an invitation to President Obama's White House game. Other stars, including Bryant, James and Wade did go. But Durant was invited to meet with Obama at the White House after the world championships.
语篇解读：本文主要向我们介绍了美国男篮新星凯文·杜兰特的有关情况，据《今日美国》报道，他将是美国男篮的脸面。
1．Which basketball star does the passage mainly talk
about?
A．Kobe Bryant.　　　　 B．LeBron James.
C．Dwyane Wade. D．Kevin Durant.
解析：选D。主旨概括题。本文主要讲述的是美国篮球新星Kevin Durant的有关情况，所以答案是D。
2．According to the passage which of the following is TRUE?
A．Durant didn't attend this year's World Championship.
B．Durant didn't practise for the 2019 Olympic Games.
C．Durant didn't attend the Beijing Olympic Games.
D．Durant got an invitation to President Obama's White House game.
解析：选C。正误判断题。A项明显是错误的，因为Durant参加了今年的世界篮球锦标赛并成为美国队的明星球员，所以可以排除；根据四、五两段可知Durant参加了2019年奥运集训但是没有参加比赛，故排除B；根据最后一段可知，D项也不正确。
3．How did Durant probably feel when he knew he couldn't go to China in 2019?
A．He felt greatly disappointed.
B．He felt very satisfied.
C．He felt much confused.
D．He felt rather interested.
解析：选A。推理判断题。根据上下文信息，尤其是“I wanted to be a part of it badly”可以推出当Durant知道他不能参加北京奥运会时相当失望。
4．What will possibly happen to Durant in the future?
A．He will be cut from the team for the 2019 London Olympics.
B．He will become a super basketball star of NBA.
C．He will be the best basketball player in NBA.
D．He will be invited to pray in a church in London.
解析：选B。推理判断题。A项明显偷换概念，根据倒数第二段最后一句可知Durant将会参加2019年的伦敦奥运会；C项则在范围上有所扩大；D项文中没有依据，推测不出来；只有B项Durant将成为篮球界超级明星是很可能发生的事情，所以B项正确。
