第4段中的倒数第3句（其他人说他可能正试图把自己与迈克尔， 乔丹进行比较）与选项B内容一致， 因此B不是答案。 而该段段首句说“有各种各样的推测” ， 因此该段内容应该与人们的推测有关。 因此该段就应该是答案相关段。 选项A和C都在该段中有呼应得内容， 因此只有D没有被提到。
4.C. 问题问“乔丹为什么选择23号球衣?”利用题干中的特征词Jordan和No 23作为答案线索，在文章中找到答案相关句：
（第4段） There are all kinds of speculations. Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start. He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole. Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan. Jordan was famous for （因为…而出名）his No 23 jersey（运动衫）. Some, such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre, argue that it is “all about money”. Bryant will make more money by selling new jersey to his fans. （该段中的答案相关句没有解释乔丹选择13号球衣的原因）
Some speculations are more about fun. For example, there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a dihard fan of the popular TV drama “24”.
All this talk has turned the number changed into a major issue. It seems that there is a lot of fuss over something that should be pretty simple.
Jersey numbers have their own special significance in American sports, especially basketball. Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career. When a great player retires, his team will honor him by retiring his number.
To some extent, the jersey is the player, and the player is jersey. Thus, when you see the famous No 23 for the Chicago Bulls（芝加哥公牛队）, you immediately think about（想起， 考虑） Michael Jordan. A No 32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O' Neal, and the Houston rockets' No 11 belongs only to Yao Ming.（该段的答案相关句只是说“当你看到芝加哥公牛队的著名23号时，你会立刻想起迈克尔. 乔丹”， 没有解释乔丹选择23号球衣的原因）
（最后一段）Lots of stories are behind players' jersey number selections. Jordan said that he choose No 23 because it was roughly（大致， 粗略地） half（一半） of 45. Jordan's elder brother（大哥） wore the No 45 in college（学院）. Yao Ming once revealed that the No 11 stands for two people in love – meaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.
该段中的答案相关句说“乔丹说他选择23号球衣是因为23大致是45的一半, 而他的大哥在大学里穿的是45号球衣”。显然该句内容与选项C（这个数字与他哥哥曾经穿的球衣号有关）内容一致。
5.解析：问题问“姚明选择的数字所代表的意义是什么? ”利用问题句中的特征词Yao Ming 作为答案线索， 在文章中查找答案相关句：
（倒数第2段）To some extent, the jersey is the player, and the player is jersey. Thus, when you see the famous No 23 for the Chicago Bulls, you immediately think about Michael Jordan. A No 32 Miami Heats （迈阿密. 热火） jersey recalls（使回忆起） the image（映像，肖像，图像） of Shaquille O' Neal（沙奎尔. 奥尼尔）, and the Houston rockets（休士顿火箭队） ' No 11 belongs only to（属于） Yao Ming.
（倒数第1段）Lots of stories are behind players' jersey number selections. Jordan said that he choose No 23 because it was roughly half of 45. Jordan's elder brother wore the No 45 in college. Yao Ming once （曾经）revealed （揭示（球衣数字的秘密））that the No 11 stands for （代表）two people in love（相爱的） – meaning（意思是指， 想要， 关系重大） him and his girlfriend Ye Li.
文章最后一句是该题的真正答案相关句，该句说“姚明曾经揭示了11号球衣数字的秘密， 他说11代表两个相爱的人 – 他和他的女朋友叶莉。 ”
