第二部分阅读理解（共25小题； 每小题2分，满分50分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和 D） 中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Los Angeles is home to two big NBA clubs: the Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers. While the Lakers are more talked about as title contenders (冠军争夺者) because of superstar player Kobe Bryant, the Clippers are perhaps more exciting to watch – mainly thanks to the crazy slam dunks (扣篮) of Blake Griffin.

Before Griffin's game, people

always ask, "how many revolutions

will he make?", "how high will he

leap?" and "how difficult will his

moves be?"

On April 7, Griffin scored a

leading 24 points, which helped the

Clippers beat the Lakers 109-95 to

win their first Pacific Division title.

Griffin, 24, first established himself in the league after he won the 2011 Slam Dunk Contest. He soared (飞跃) over a car and scored a powerful dunk - "a perfect way to show off his combination of athleticism and Hollywood talent," commented The Associated Press.

It came as no surprise. Griffin grew up watching and re-watching every dunk contest on

videotape, studying the event's development.

It wasn't long before many of Griffin's high school mates were asking for his autograph. Young Griffin scored big and won stardom but today he also works for a charity organization known as Dunking for Dollars. He contributes $100 to fight against childhood obesity (肥胖症) for every dunk that he makes.

Griffin likes to throw down crowd-pleasing dunks, but he also wants to preserve his body for battles to come. According to Arash Markazi , reporter with ESPN, the goal for the Clippers is "no longer simply beating the Lakers on national television". although they did do so three times this season.

"We didn't come into this season 'Oh, it would be great if we could win'... We expected it. It's something to be proud of" said Griffin. "These are the games you really get hyped (炒作） for, but now we know the importance of winning games like this and also the importance of winning games down the stretch(一段时问) and in the playoffs." And their goal, like that of the Lakers, is to win a championship in June. writes Markazi.

41. From the first paragraph we know that ____

A. Blake Griffin is more powerful than Kobe Bryant

B. superstars attract more attention

C. the Clippers are stronger than the Lakers

D. the Clippers have never won a title

42. Why did Griffin's school mates ask for his autograph?

A. Because Griffin worked for a charity organization.

B. Because Griffin had helped some children with obesity.

C. Because he started Dunking for Dollars.

D. Because he was becoming famous.

43. We can infer from the passage that Griffin ______ .

A. suffered from obesity when he was young

B. started to do some voluntary work at an early age

C. showed an interest in slam dunk from an early age

D. has become a Hollywood star

44. Which of the following statements is true of Griffin?

A. He only cares about his own interest - slam dunk.

B. He is talented as well as sympathetic.

C. He is talented in slam
