planning to stop and visit a friend.”where引导的定语从句是修饰oklahoma city，去oklahoma city是为了拜访一个朋友。37b词义猜测题。根据上一句“. paying for gas”和后面的“. gone only a few miles”可知took off是“离开”的意思，选项b中的move off也是“离开”的意思。turn off关掉；put up拿起；set up设立。38c细节推断题。从第二段最后两句“they said they would take me to my friends.”和“. when i got out of the car”可知老夫妇把作者送到了朋友家。39c细节推断题。从第四段第二句中的“id left the lights on all day.”可知作者忘记关掉车灯，灯亮了一天，所以电池没电了。40d主旨大意题。作者讲了两个接受了他人的帮助并向帮助自己的人表示感谢的故事，接受别人的帮助后写信表示感谢对帮助自己的人是一种回馈，会使别人感到帮助别人是有意义的。特别是最后一句“they are easy to say and mean so much.”点出了主旨。阅读理解- (2011全国卷，d)the way we do things round here some years ago，i was hired by an american bank. i received a letter from the head of the personnel department that started，“dear john，i am quite pleased that you have decided to join us.” that “quite” saddened me. i thought he was saying “were kind of pleased you decided to join us although i wish we had hired someone else.”then i discovered that in american english “quite” sometimes means “very”， while in british english it means “fairly”so the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that i dont just mean the words people speak. it is body language，dress，manners, ideas and so on. the way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures (文化)some of these differences may be only on the surfacedress，food and hours of workwhile others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate (气候)，while getting on with business. some of the differences may be an improvement. people are more polite；the service is better；you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. however，other differences can be troubling, like punctuality (准时). if you invite people to a party at 7 oclock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in germany, five minutes early in the american midwest，an hour early in japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the uk, up to an hour afterwards in italy and some time in the evening in greece. i prefer not to use the word “late” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. it is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.本文介绍了作者所感受到的文化差异。13. the author was unhappy as mentioned in paragraph 1 because he thought _.a. the american bank didnt think much of himb. the american bank might hire another personc. its difficult to get used to american cultured. its easy to misunderstand americans答案：a。推理判断题。由第一段中“that “quite” saddened me”可以推断出作者认为这家美国银行不重视他。14the underlined word “highlights” in paragraph 2 probably means _.a. encourages b. helps to narrowc. increases d. draws attention to答案：d。词义猜测题。由下文可知人们做事情的方式引起了作者对文化差异的关注。15according to the author，what should we do with most cultural differences?a. ask the native people for help.b. understand and accept them.c. do things in our own way.d. do indepth research.答案：b。细节理解题。由第三段最后一句可知我们要习惯文化差异并接受存在的文化差异。16when invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are_. a. italians b. germans c. greeks d. the

dramatic change as a result of climate change.now，a breathtaking new exhibit at the asia society in new york suggests that the earths third pole is sounding a similar alarm.david breashears，a mountaineer and cinematographer，and his team have travelled the high himalayas on a special search in the past few years.armed with old photographs of the worlds highest peaks，he has tried to duplicate those shots exactly.the result is both breathtaking and deeply frustrating.that is because his photos show a dramatic decline in glacial ice.whether it is the forward edge，the vertical

difference: its the difference between how important a firms leaders say speed is to their competitive (竞争的) strategy（策略）and how fast the company actually moves. the difference is important regardless of industry and company 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 choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up 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-year 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, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. they became more open to ideas and discussion. they encouraged new ways of thinking. and they allowed time to look back and learn. by contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didnt develop team spirit among their employees, and had
