30、mpany size. Companies fearful of 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 up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at
31、key moments to make sure they were on the right track.

32、than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value). Simply increasing the speed of produ
33、ction, 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, higher- companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and di
34、scussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and learn.

They never had much money but were rich in love.One day, when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers went on a trip. It was just me
41、 and Nanny in the house for the weekend. Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself. She made me a special breakfast that first morning. However, all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it. Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the liv
42、ing room. I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes. It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it.I walked over to Nanny, climbed on her lap, and for the first time in my short life I did something else too. I ap
43、ologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me. She smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didnt feel like one then.That memory just like my Nannys love will stay in my heart forever. It is a sign of both strength and wisdom. Asking for forgiveness helps us

49、ir kids should even learn a second language.Its true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “No es bueno dormir mucho” as “It s not good to sleep too much.” Replacing a word with its equivalent (同义词）in the target languag
50、e is actually the “easy part” of a translators job. But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.Its so difficult for computers because translation doesntor shouldntinvolve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, its about translating meaning. And in order to infer
51、meaning from a specific expression, humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression: volume, gesture, situation, and even your culture. All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.Therefore,
52、we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us. If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better? Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when i
53、t comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.51. What does the underlined word “imminent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.

57、eed to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They took little notice of the healthand safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them and conditions in the
58、work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.Of course, sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which gove
59、rnments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.Today many government
60、s have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U. S, for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that comp

(Open Answers may vary)第二节61. (One possible versions)Li Jin and Wang Ying are two students of Senior Three. They both work hard
68、 but they have different learning methods. Li Jin often sleeps in class instead of listening to the teacher. As a result, he misses lots of points that the teacher makes and it usually takes him more time to finish his homework. So he has to stay up late and doesnt get enough sleep. However, Wang Yi
69、ng has quite a differently way of learning. She listens attentively and tries to catch everything that the teacher says in class. Because of this, she spends less time doing her homework, which makes it possible for her to go to bed early. In my opinion, Wang Ying learns more effectively in class and has more free time to enjoy herself, so I prefer her learning method.
