文中第二段写出了科比的死因。“He was 41 years old when a helicopter he was riding in crashed, killing him and eight others...”

2. 正确答案B

【P38】

II. 1. 正确答案B

文章Answer的第一段写明：“Tradition says that doing so will cause your mother's brothers to die. ” “Doing so”指的是“cutting hair during the first lunar month”这件事。

2. 正确答案A

Answer部分第二段“So, after a month's wait, people usually flock to cut their hair ...” 一个月的等待之后，人们肯定迫不及待要去剪头。而且后面还写道 “It was once tradition to line up outside of barber shops...”。根据上下文推测flock和gather一样，有“聚集”的意思。

3. 正确答案D

Answer部分的第三段指出Dragon Head-raising Day是中国重要传统节日之一。古人认为那一天之后雨水增多，会唤醒沉睡的龙王。所以这一天是春天和农耕的开始。这些都体现了二月二的传统意义“traditional meaning”。

4. 正确答案D

A错在people eat food with “dragon names”(最后一段)而不是eat dragons; BC文中未提及; D由Answer部分第三段最后一句“So that day is the start of spring and farming”得出。
