BCurious.CExcited. DPuzzled.解析推理判断题。第二段提到这段30英里的路急转弯多，足以让多数司机手心出汗(are enough to make most drivers hands sweat)，据此可推知，多数司机开车走在这段路上的时候应该都非常紧张，故选择A。答案A2What Andersen says in Paragraph 4 shows that _.Ahe is used to driving on such a dangerous roadBhe has great confidence in driving on this steep roadChe likes to ski on such a steep downhill roadDhe would not meet such trouble as other drivers did 解析推理判断题。由Andersen说的话可知，他一年要在该地区滑雪至少20次，也对该地区冬天的情况很了解，由此推测他走这条路时十分有信心，故选择B。答案B3How did Andersen escape from the crashed car at last?AHe was saved with the help of some passersby.BHe swam out of a broken window.CHe broke a window nearby.DHe drove his car out of the water.解析细节理解题。从文章最后一段可知，Andersen在车里找不到孩子，自己松开安全带，从一个破的车窗里游了出来，故选择B。答案B4Andersens attitude toward these mens rescuing the children might be that of_.Adoubt BsatisfactionCsympathy Dappreciation解析推理判断题。从最后一段Andersen的回答“It was like the sight of angels.”可推知，Andersen 对这些人的见义勇为是非常感激的，故选择D。答案D【长难句解读】原文As it hit the water，the car tipped toward the passenger side，hesitated，and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.译文当接触到水面时，车子向副驾驶那一边倾斜，稍停了一下，然后底朝天跌入河中。分析这是一个复合句，As引导时间状语从句，the car tipped.为主句，其中的四个动词为并列谓语，表示按时间依次发生的动作。2016高考英语训练-阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 We were moving to a new state after my husband had been out of work for many months and we had no money.

There was nothing around for milesno cars, buildings or signs of civilization. Suddenly, our car started losing power and the gauges(汽油表) went all out of order. We saw a light in the distance and managed to roll to a stop in front of this property that looked like a small simple house. Our cell phones had not gotten reception for many miles, and it was freezing outside, so I didnt know if we were going to make it out of this situation alive. My husband got out of the car to see if there was something he could do to get us rolling again, but it was not looking good. A short while later, a man came out of the house and spoke with my husband a bit before inviting us all into his home. He and his wife took us in, fed us, and made us feel at home as we struggled to find some way to get to our destination, which was still a few hours drive away. We were able to call a friend and get a ride, leaving our broken car behind, but not before the couple gave us food and water for our journey.

For years March ( possibly be wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience.He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning :“Experience is respected；experience is sought；experience is explained.”The problem is that learning from experience involves（涉及） serious complications（复杂化），ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.In one interesting part of book，for example，he turns a double eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. He says“The more accurately（精确的）reality is presented，the less understandable the story，and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is.”Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher. March is also a poet, and his gift shines though in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses.

The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. Companies fearful or losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track, Whats more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines ,averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-years period.How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better ? 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.47 . 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 goal48. 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 49. 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.50. Where could be the last title for the text? A. Improve quality? Serve better. B. Deliver value? Plough ahead. C.

Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several peoples lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed. “I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(听诊器)and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. At first I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and others doctors, its easy to take people in,” he said. One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came to the hospital, York was standing over her. “He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon.
