they thought differently about what “slower “and “faster” mean. firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly ) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ). simply increasing the speed of production, for example , may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference . but that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.in our study, high performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary . they became more open to idea and discussion. they encouraged new ways of thinking. and they allowed time to look and learn. by contrast (相比而言). performance suffered at firms that moved falt all the among their employer , and had little time thinking about changes.strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership . teams that regularly take time to get things right , rather than plough ahead full bore , are more successful in meeting their business goals . that kind of strategy must come from the top.57 . what does the underlined part “gain an edge ” in paragraph 2 mean ? a. increase the speed. b. get an advantage. c. reach the limit. d. set a goal58. the underlined part “the laws of business physics” in paragraph 3 means _. a. spending more time and performing worse. b. spending more time and performing better c. spending less time and performing worse d. spending less time and performing better 59. what can we learn from the text? a. how fast a firm moves depends on how big it is. b. how competitive a firm is depends on what it produces. c. firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes. d. firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.60. where could be the last title for the text? a. improve quality? serve better. b. deliver value? plough ahead. c. reduce time? move faster. d. need speed? slow down.【答案】bdcd*结束（201*-广东卷）can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? people who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. a recent research has found a new recipe of success. according to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.however, it wasnt all sweetness and light. there was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. one reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. for example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.in homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. they are learning how to talk each others language. it is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk dog, and dogs can learn how to talk cat.whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. they can learn to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was preciously suspected. once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together in the sofa. they can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom(梳理) each other.the significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets-to people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. if cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.31. the underlined word swimmingly in paragraph1 is closest in meaning to_.a. early b.sweetly c.quickly d. smoothly32. some cats and dogs may fight when_.a. they are cold to each other b. they look away from each otherc. they misunderstand each others signalsd. they are introduced at an early age33. what is found surprising about cats and dogs?a. they eat and sleep togetherb. they observe each others behaviorsc. they learn to speak each others languaged. they know something from each others voice34. it is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogs_.a. have common interests b. are less different than was thoughtc. have a common body langaged. are less intelligent than was expected35. what can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?a. we should learn to live in harmonyb. we should knows more about animalsc. we should live in peace with animalsd. we should learn more body languages【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。通过科学研究表明猫和狗在一定的情况下是能够和平相处的。如果先收养猫并且猫不到6个，狗不到一年，他们就能顺利地和平相处。通过观察他们不能和平相处的原因是他们之间误解了彼此的身势语而造成的。但有趣的是猫和狗能够相互学习彼此的身势语，这样他们就能和平相处。31.d考查推测词义。如果先收养猫并且猫不到6个，狗不到一年，他们就能顺利的和平相处。2/3被采访的家庭也表明这样的结果。32. c考查细节理解。根据第二段while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. one reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.可知选c。33.c考查细节理解。根据文章第三段in homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. they are learning how to talk each others language.可知c正确。34. b考查细节理解。根据文章第四段中的they can learn to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was preciously suspected.可知b正确。35. a考查推理判断。根据文章的最后一段可知，在动物王国，人们公认的猫和狗都能和平相处，何况人呢？*结束阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。aa three-year independent investigation into the september 11, 2001 attack on the pentagon has yielded new eyewitness evidence which, according to the southern california-based researchers who conducted the investigation conclusively (and unfortunately), establishes as a historical fact that the violence which took place in arlington that day was not the result of a surprise attack by suicide hijackers, but rather a military black operation involving a carefully planned and skillfully executed deception.a cnn reporter at the scene states that there is no evidence that a 757 hit the pentagon.what hit the pentagon? a boeing 757 loaded with passengers and fuel right? who was on flight 757? according to the flight information there were no arabs on it. that makes me wonder if flight 757 actually existed at all.from the pictures and the videos, people can find that there are several doubtful points that need to be taken into consideration, for example the marker line on the grass in the satellite and ground pictures, the different colors of the smoke, the hole which the plane impacted, and the standing pylons (架线塔).also, from the comparison of the different pictures, people can find some other strange points. for example, the gear (齿轮) is not the matching one. the wreckage of the plane is not the one from the american airlines. the glass on the pavement of the pole is another doubtful point. the last thing that need considering is about the collapse. one of the gif video shows the plane impacting the pentagon. the only problem with this video footage is that it has been altered (改变) and can not be fully trusted.these crash photos and videos shown here clearly have been doctored (篡改) and dont even match the physics of what happened. so where is the real video? it leaves me many questions. is this a missile? it is a real enigma.1. where can you possibly read this article?a. in a newspaper.b. in a book.c. in a magazine.d. on a website2. what the word “yielded” mean in the first sentence?a. given inb. surrenderedc. producedd. given away3. which of the following doubtful points is not mentioned in the passage?a. the colors of the smokeb. the marker line on the grassc. the standing pylonsd. the model of the plane4. what is the authors attitude towards the 911 investigation?a. positive.b. skeptical.c. neutral.d. ng.参考答案 1-4dcdb*结束完形填空 (201*天津十二区县联考一)last christmas while staying with my parents, i _1_ across some old love letters that my parents wrote to each other. these letters were all piled up in a basket, dirty and _2_ with dust. _3_ to read and sort them, i asked them if i could take these letters back to my illinois home. they agreed.as i carefully opened each letter, all of them _4_ with date, i discovered a new page _5_ unknown to me in this private chapter of my parents lives. my father used to _6_ in the army. so his letters were full of frontline _7_ of the things about the war. each of my mothers letters was marked with her 1944 dark red lipstick kiss. i was _8_ to these letters like a magnet(磁铁)just six weeks after our christmas visit, daddy became very _9_ and was hospitalized. this time, he was fighting a _10_ kind of war. as i sat by his bedside, we discussed the _11_. he told me how much receiving those lipstickkissed letters had _12_to him when he had been so far from home.it so happened that the next day would be february 14.from the _13_ letters i chose the card my father had sent mother in 1944 and brought it to my fathers bedside.at his bedside, i joked with him, saying _14_， “today is valentines day. dont you want to send mother a present？” he became more _15_ when i handed him the old _16_. he carefully opened it and took out the card, and when he _17_ it, his eyes were filled with tears.my father, in a voice tight with _18_ read the loving _19_ hed sent to my mother fiftysix years earlier. and this time, he could read it to her _20_.尘封的信件，记载了父母当年的爱情。几十年后的今天，住院的父亲当面对母亲读起56年前的情人节写给母亲的卡片1a. came b. hitc. drew d. fell答案：a。上个圣诞节当我和父母待在一起时，我无意中发现了父母以前的情书。come across无意中发现，偶然见到。2a. hidden b. coveredc. buried d. filled答案：b。这些信件都堆放在一个篮子里，脏兮兮的，覆满尘土。be covered with被覆盖。be filled with充满；be hidden和be buried都与in搭配，两者表示“藏在或埋在中”。显然根据常识b项符合语境和逻辑。3a. pretending b. suggestingc. preferring d. deciding答案：d。我“决定”阅读并
