Crude oil (原油) taken from fields in Alaska's North Slope near Prudhoe Bay is carried by tube to the port of Valdez. From there it is shipped by tanker to the West Coast of the United States. Just after midnight on March24, 1989,the Exxon Valdez, a tanker more than three football fields long, went off course in Prince William Sound near Valdez and hit rocks underwater. About 42 million liters of oil poured out from several slices in the ship, creating the worst escape of oil ever in the U. s. waters.

In 1990，the National Transportation Safety Board NTSB) found the captain of the tanker guilty of drinking before sailing and of leaving the bridge and turning over the ship to an inexperienced and tired third mate. The NTSB ruled that the accident was the result of drinking of the captain, an overworked crew member, and inadequate traffic control by the Coast Guard.

In the early 1970s, conservationists said that a large, damaging oil escape would occur in these dangerous waters containing hidden rocks and frequented by icebergs and violent storms. They urged that Alaskan oil be brought to the lower 48 states by tube over land to reduce potential damage.

Officials of Alyeska, a company formed by the seven oil companies taking oil from Alaska's North Slope, said that a tube would take too long to build and that a large escape of oil was " highly unlikely". They assured Congress that they would be at the scene of any accident within five hours and have enough equipment and trained people to clean up any spill. However, when the S4-ilion Valdez leak occurred, Alyeska and Exxon officials did too little too late.

In the early 1970s, Secretary of the Interior Rogers Morton told Congress that all oil tankers using Alaskan waters would have double hulls( 船体). Later, under pressure from oil companies, the requirement was dropped. After the disaster,the oil industry had much to answer for. The accident led to an international push for double-hulled oil tankers.What if the Exxon Valdez had a double hull?

1.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The consequence of drunk sailing.

B.The cause of the Valdez accident.

C.The responsibility of the captain.

D.The role of the Coast Guard in the accident.

2.We can infer that conservationists advised

A.building an oil tube to save delivery time

B.stopping shipping oil in dangerous waters

C.bringing Alaskan oil to the lower 48 states

D.making full preparations for any oil escape

3.What did the author indicate in the end?

A.The Exxon Valdez had a double dull.

B.Morton worked for an oil company.

C.The accident might be preventable.

D.Oil companies favored the requirement.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.Valdez: The Predicted Oil Leak

B.Alyeska: Lessons Not Learnt

C.The Oil Accident: Who to Blame

D.The Valdez Disaster: What to Remember

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Michael Lewis writes about the inner strategies of sports to fans’ delight, and yet describes the personalities and worlds of his real-life characters with such depth that nonfans will enjoy his writing just as much. He looked successfully at baseball management with Moneyball.  Now The Blind Side examines the increasing value placed on the left tackle(左后卫)position in football, the high pressure world of college football recruiting(招收队员), and in particular, the life of one promising young left tackle, Mike Oher.

Oher’s story’s attractive. The big boy was silent to the point that many people thought he was mentally disabled. Then, in a lucky break, Oher and a friend are admitted to a very white, private high school, far across town from their own poor African-American neighborhood. Oher is unbelievably far behind academically, but he’s taken under the wing of Sean Tuohy, one of the school’s coaches, a wealthy man whose family Oher eventually joins. Before long, though Oher almost completely lacks football experience, he leads him to new athletic heights and brings on a fierce competition from eager college coaches.

Lewis’s book brings on many interesting questions: How did a kid like Oher get so lost in the college recruiting system at first? How far should the system bend to meet the needs of a few student athletes? Are the Tuohys the most selfless, or are they using Oher themselves? If so, does it matter, if it benefits him? And what should we think of the college recruiting system that comes after him? These are just a few subjects raised by this highly readable book.

No fan of football should pass on this good one, but even if your interest in sports is only mild, consider tracking down the works of Michael Lewis.

72．Michael Lewis is ________.

A. a football player              B. a high school student       C. a book writer     D. a football coach

73．People thought Oher was mentally disabled because ________.

A. he was too tall and heavy                                     B. he seldom spoke with others

C. he was too academically poor                               D. he was an African-American

74．The third paragraph is intended to ________.

A. explore deep meanings of the book              B. tell how hard it is to understand the story

C. question the poor quality of the book                    D. show what a hot topic the book becomes

75．Which of the following would be the best title?

A. The Blind Side: Progress of a Game               B. Michael Lewis: Thinker of Real Life

C. Where Is College Recruiting System Going?   D. Where Are the African-Americans Going?
