【解析】

這篇短文給我們介紹了NBA最偉大的球星之一——科比·布萊恩特，他為洛杉磯湖人隊效力了20年，帶領(lǐng)球隊取得過優(yōu)異的成績，科比于2016年退役。不幸的是，2020年初，科比在一次直升機(jī)事故中去世。

【1】

上句話“Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, died in a helicopter (直升飛機(jī)) crash (墜毀) with his daughter on Sunday.”提到了科比在一次直升機(jī)事故中去世。該空應(yīng)承接上文，繼續(xù)介紹這次事故的后果，B選項(xiàng)“事故中共有九人死亡”符合語境，故選B。

【2】

根據(jù)上句話“Mr. Bryant’s death has caused great sadness.”可知，這一段主要介紹了人們知道了科比的死訊之后，都沉浸在悲傷中，E選項(xiàng)“朋友、粉絲和世界各地的名人都非常難過”符合語境，故選E。

【3】

根據(jù)上句話“Mr. Bryant had played for the Los Angeles Lakers for 20 years.”和下句話“During the time with the Lakers…”可知，這一段介紹的是科比為洛杉磯湖人隊效力的情況，A選項(xiàng)“他17歲加入了這支球隊”符合這里的語境，故選A。

【4】

根據(jù)上句話“He played and practiced hard in the high school.”可知，這一段主要介紹了科比中學(xué)時就努力訓(xùn)練籃球，D選項(xiàng)“他的目標(biāo)是成為比他少年時代的英雄邁克爾·喬丹還要優(yōu)秀的人”符合語境，故選D。

【5】

根據(jù)語境可知，C選項(xiàng)中those numbers與上句話“Mr. Bryant had worn the numbers 8 and 24.”提到的兩個號碼對應(yīng)，因此C選項(xiàng)符合語境，意為“當(dāng)他退役的時候，湖人隊說這兩個號碼不會再使用”。故選C。
