A
One
of
the
worst
feelings
you
have
as
a
professional
athlete
is
the
feeling
after
losing
a
game
to
a
team
that
you
should
have
beaten.
That
happened
last
night
against
the
lowly
Boston
Celtics.
They
had
only
won
13
games
the
whole
year
and
were
really
s
truggling. We had just come off a very good win against the Orlando Magic on the
road and were feeling good about ourselves.
The day did not start out good for us when we learned that T-Mac was going to
miss the game with the flu. When you lose your best players (Yao, T-Mac) everyone
must play a little harder and do a little bit more on the floor. We inserted Bonzi
Wells into the lineup (he was the only one to have a good game for us), in place
of T-Mac.
It was a nasty game. We are usually one of the best three point shooting teams
in
the
NBA
and
we
only
made
1
of
22
three
point
shots!
I
have
never
seen
that
happen.
Never! Rafer Alston, Luther Head, and me combined to shoot 5 of 33 from the field.
Ouch! You aren't going to win too many games like that. Even as poorly as we shot
the ball, we STILL had a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter but failed
to make the winning plays that you must make to leave the floor victorious.
In the locker room after the game, everybody felt terrible. When we play a bad
game, we feel that we let our teammates down. There is a bad feeling in the pit of
your stomach when you leave the gym and you just want to go home and not talk to
anyone. It is a terrible feeling, but it is a feeling that makes you want to try
harder and do better the next time.
I'll talk to you guys later.
Shane

B
Every year 2.2 million tons of oil are spilled (
散落，溅出
) into the ocean.
Actually, this only amounts to a small percentage of the total 1.6 billion tons of
oil
shipped
around
the
world
each
r,
this
spilled
oil
has
terrible
effects
on ocean life, including the coastlines where the off washes up onto shore. Some
of
the
largest
spills
in
history
were
caused
by
oil
tankers
running
into
each
other
or
by
an
oil
tanker
sailing
into
shallow
water
and
hitting
the
bottom
of
the
ocean.
After
these
spills,
officials
try
to
discover
who
or
what
was
at
fault
to
help
prevent
similar accidents in the future.
One of the worst oil spills in history occurred
along the Alaskan coastline in
1989. In this accident, 42,000 tons of oil spilled from a tanker which resulted in
terrible
damage
to
this
sensitive
natural
area.
In
this
spill,
the
tanker's
captain,
who was tired from overwork and drinking alcohol, had gone totake a rest. He gave
control of the ship to the third mate. The third mate was unfamiliar with the path
the ship took, and he ran the ship onto Blighe Reef. Blighe Reef is a natural
underwater rock wall near the Alaskan coast. Damaged by the reef, the ship leaked
oil out into the ocean. More than 1,600 kilometers of coastline were affected by
the oil
spill. Some scientists
who studied nature in the
area
guessed that 580,000
birds
and
5,500
otters
died
when
the
oil
from
the
spill
covered
their
skin.
As
well,
smaller shellfish and other sea creatures were later eaten by seals, whales, and
other animals.
The
most
oil
ever
spilled
was
actually
dumped
on
purpose
as
an
act
of
ecological
warfare. The term ecological warfare means to fight by doing harm to nature in the
area under attack. In 1990, Iraq sent soldiers into Kuwait and set off the Persian
Gulf War. As part of the Iraq war plan,900,000 tons of oil were let out into the
Persian Gulf WayIraq. This oil covered 1,500 square kilometers of water in the
Persian Gulf. The oil also damaged 650 kilometers of the coastline of both Kuwait

2
and Saudi Arabia. In some places, oil floating on the water was measured to be 43
centimeters thick. Water birds, water plants, and baby fish were all seriously
affected
by
the
oil.
The
long-term
effects
of
this
act
on
the
food
chain
in
the
area
are bound to cause problems tar into the future.

1. Which cause of oil spills is described in the second paragraph?
A. Dumping B. War
nts ng about carelessly
答案解析：答案为
C
。本题为细节理解题。从第 二段的前半部分可知，由于油轮的船长过
度工作并且喝醉，将船交给了船上的另外一名对船的航线不熟悉 的人，从而导致了触礁事
件。故选
C
。


2. The creatures affected by the oil spill near Alaska were_________.
A. birds and otters B. shellfish
C. seals and whales D. all of the above
答案解析：
答案为
D
。

“Some
scientists
who
studied
nature in the area guessed that 580,000 birds and 5,500 otters died when the
oil from the spill covered their skin. As well, smaller shellfish and other
sea creatures were later eaten by seals, whales, and other animals.”可知，

4. ________ was responsible for dumping oil into the Persian Gulf.

答案解析：

答案为
D
。本题为细节题。从最后一段第三句话

“In 1990, Iraq sent
soldiers into Kuwait and set off the Persian Gulf War.
”可知，对波斯湾倾油事件负
责的是伊拉克。


So you want to draw money from a bank? Do it yourself. Want to fix a broadband
internet con
nection? Do it yourself. Need a boarding card for your flight? Do it
yourself. In theory, companies can save money by replacing human workers with
automated self-service systems, while customers gain more choices and control and
get quicker service. There is even talk of self-service doing for the service
department what mass production did for factories, by enabling the delivery of
services cheaply and on a massive scale. Surely the expansionof self-service into
more and more areas is to be welcomed?
Not
necessarily.
When
it
is
done
well,
self-service
can
do
good
to
both
companies

3
and
customers.
But
when
done
badly
—
who
has
not
found
themselves
trapped
in
a
series
of
endless
touch
—
tone
menus?
In
areas
where
self- service
is
only
just
started,
this
is less of a problem: angry customers can after all, always take their business
elsewhere. But if every bank were to prefer self-service systems, customers would
no longer be able to express their discountby voting with their feet. As a result,
some banks, for example, already promise that their telephone- banking services
always offer the choice of talking to a human operator. But in return for human
service, many companies will simply charge more.
Another disagreement to self- service is that while it saves companies money,
it
does
not
always
save
their
customers’
time.
In
the
best
cases,
it
does,
of
course:
checking yourself in at the airport can be quicker than queuing or making a phone
call. But as more and more tasks are on to customers,
they may start to hope for
the days of old-fashioned service.
All
of
this
suggests
that
there
are
limits
to
how
far
self-service
can
be
taken.
Companies that go too far down the self- service route or to do it incorrectly are
likely to find themselves being punished. Instead, a balance between self-service
and traditional forms of service is necessary.
