A
It‘s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is
still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. 41It‘s a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. 42Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother‘s chocolate cake. 42They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my ―no thank you,‖ or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it‘s okay to just say ―no.‖ I shouldn‘t feel sorry for refusing food that I don‘t want to eat.
43So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self–confidence and energy, extends life and 44above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It‘s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
41. Why is there a smile on the author‘s face in the morning?
A. Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.
B. Because she finishes her favorite exercise
C. Because she enjoys the interesting DVD
D. Because she feels a sense of achievement
42. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2 ？
A. She doesn‘t like others r politely
B. She likes to make others surprised
C. Others don‘t understand what she does.
D. Others try to help her by offering her food
43. What does the underlined word ―commitment‖ in the last paragraph mean?
A. Good health
B. Firm belief
C. A strong power
D. A regular half
44. What can we learn about the author from the text?
A. She acts in a strange way
B. She wants to look different from others
C. She aims to develop a good body shape
D. She has difficult getting along with others
41. D 本题考查细节理解。根据第一段最后一句话―It‘s a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.‖可知作者脸上的微笑不是因为DVD的结束，而是因为一种成功的微笑，因为自己锻炼挑战了身体的极限。
42. C 本题考查细节理解。从别人看到我跑步穿过城镇摇头；当我拒绝别人给我的可口食物时我拒绝接受，他们感到惊讶可以看出他们不明白，我这样做是为了保持体形，愉悦身心。
43. B 本题考查推理判断。我能够每天早上很早起床锻炼，抵御住美味的诱惑，需要坚定的信念和意志力。
44. C 本题考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的―…above all improves my body shape.‖可知作者加强锻炼，克制饮食的主要目的是为了保持一个好的体型。

Exploit your parking space
An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement（广告）for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.
Rent（出租）a room
Spare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed ―rent a room‖ program, 45you won‘t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.
Make money during special events
Don‘t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. 46Grashpadder
can advertise your space.
Live on set
Renting your home out as a ―film set‖ could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.
Use your roof
You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment (around £14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. 47However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.
45. If you earn £5000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ______.
A. £800 B. £500
C. £4500 D. £5000

B. On Roomspare.
C. On Grashpadder.
D. On Roommateeasy.
47. If you want to use energy free, you have to_____.
A. sign an agreement with the government
B. pay around £14,000 for the equipment

D. keep the roof unchanged for within 25 years
48. For whom the text most probably written?
A. Lodgers.
B. Advertisers.
C. House owners.
D. Online companies
45. B 本题考查逻辑推理。根据文章第二部分中的―You won‘t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year‖可知出租房子所得金额4500英镑以下是不用交税的，所以5000英镑应交税金额为5000-4500=500英镑。
46. C 本题考查细节理解。根据文章第三部分最后一句话―Grashpadder can advertise your
space‖可知在有重大活动期间如果你想出租房子可以到Grashpadder刊登广告。
47. D 本题考查细节理解。根据文章最后一部分最后一句话―However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.‖可知你要想免费的使用能源需要和提供设备的能源公司签订协议保证25年内不改变自己的屋顶。
48. C 本题考查推理判断。本文主要是教给有空闲房子的人如何利用自己的空闲房子赚钱的一些技巧，由此可以判断文章主要针对房屋主人而写。
C
The pound new Library of Birmingham（LoB）will be the most visible sign of the way the city is accepting the digitalization（数字化）of everyday life.
Set to open in 2013, the £188m LoB is already beginning to take shape next to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, with which it will share some equipment.
As digital media（媒介）49the project is already providing chances for some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies. Brian Gambles, the LoB project director, says 51.a it is about giving people the right tools for learning：―The aim is to mix the physical with the digital. 51.b Providing 24-hour services which can be used through many different ways. It is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.‖
The digital library will, he says, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public.
Even before the LoB is complete, the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual（虚拟的）LoB, designed by Baden, the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists. 50Not only have the public been able to learn about LoB, but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.
Two other small Birmingham-based digital companies are working on the LoB projects. Substrat, a digital design company, is developing what it calls an ―enlarged reality‖ project. It is about the
use of an exciting smart phone, an important part of LoB the which is the early stages of development. And The People‘s Archive is an online library of figures of the city being built content company in Cahoots,51.d in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material.

―Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher.‖ You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James March, a predecessor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organization decision making. 53For 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. 55In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things. 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. Though the book is short,
it is demanding：54Don‘t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.
53. According to the text, James March is .
A. a poet who uses experience in his writing
B. a teacher who teachers story writing in university
C. a researcher who studies the way humans think and act
D. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions
54. According to James March, experience .
A. is overvalued
B. is easy to explain
C. should be actively sought
D. should be highly respected
55. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Experience makes stories more accurate.
B. Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.
C. The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.
D. Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.
56. What‘s the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a book. B. To describe a researcher.
C. To explain experiential learning. D. To discuss organizational decision making.
53. C 考查细节理解。根据第一段中―For years March…has studied how humans think and
act…‖可知James March是一位一直在从事人类思想和行动方法研究的科学家。
54. A 考查推理判断。根据文章最后一句话―Don‘t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons.
Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.‖结合全文不难看出以往人们对经验估价的过高。
55. B考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中―In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things.‖可知我们在努力增加故事的趣味性的时候，丢掉了它的真实性。
56. A 考查主旨大意。整篇文章主要介绍了James March的一本叫做《前车可鉴？》的书。

In business, there is a speed difference: It‘s the difference between how important a firm‘s leaders say speed is to their competitive (竞争的) strategy（策略）and how fast the company actually moves. 59The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. 57Companies 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, 57the companies that chose
to go, go, go to try to gain an make sure they were on the right track. What‘s more, the firms that ―slowed down to speed up ―improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating income over a three-year period.
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, 59higher performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became 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 fast all the time， paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn‘t develop team spirit among their employees, 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 goal.
58. 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.
57. B 考查推理判断。根据第一段中―Companies fearful or losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.‖和第二段中的―the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended with lower sales and operating incomes ...‖ 可知那些害怕丢掉竞争优势的公司会一味的追求速度。
58. D 考查推理判断。根据第三段中第一句话可知那些―不遵循‖（disobey）商业法则的公司比竞争者花的时间多（速度慢）却表现得更好，反过来商业法则应该是―花更少的时间（速度快），做得更好‖。
59. C 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的―higher performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary‖可知受战略速度指导的公司会实时的对公司的战略做出调整。根据第一段中的―The difference is important regardless of industry and company size.‖可知公司行动的快慢，竞争力的大小与公司的大小和生产的东西无关，排除A、B项。
60. D 考查主旨大意。本文主要阐述了在商业竞争中并不是速度越快越好，相反那些速度慢的公司会根据情况实时调整战略往往会取的竞争的优势。故D项―我们真的需要速度吗？慢点吧！‖符合题意。

延续提纲式作文，题材贴近学生的生活
书面表达的题目则是四川卷高考英语趋于稳定的象征。书面表达文已经连续三年考察提纲式作文，而且从题材上看来，2010年成人仪式发言稿，2009年介绍中国社交习俗，今年课外活动类题材更加贴近学生的生活,让每位考生在落笔的时候都能够有真实的体会。书面表达再次体现了四川卷对于审题的要求，围绕提纲展开。只要考生在构思的时候紧扣提纲来展开，这篇文章的难度是比较低的。
范文：
After-class Activities
Nowadays, after-class activities are becoming more and more popular in high schools. In our school, there are various kinds of activities, for example, arts and sports. We enjoy them very much. Playing football and reading stories are my favorites which do me lots of good. Besides building my body and enriching my knowledge, they also free me from the heavy work of study.
Here I have some suggestion. To students, you‘d better choose the activities which interest you and suit you; to school, they should organize more activates for students and leave students more time for activates by giving them less home work.
Dear friends, please actively take part in after-class activates, which will not only make your school life colorful, but also improve your learning.
解析： 在写作时，注意把握好时态，应该以现在时态和过去时态为中心，以第一人称为主，词数严格控制在80-120之间，文中可穿插使用一些表示逻辑关系的连词、副词、介词短语、句型等，如，if, when, but, for example, I‘m afraid, besides…，做到书写工整，卷面整洁。在有把握的情况下，可以使用一些高级词汇和句式，来为自己的书面表达增光添彩。

10. C 解析：考查名词性从句。in介词后面接宾语从句，且从句中缺do的宾语，故选C项。
why、how在句中作状语；which在名词性从句中作定语。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
It‘s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is
still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. 41It‘s a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. 42Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother‘s chocolate cake. 42They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my ―no thank you,‖ or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it‘s okay to just say ―no.‖ I shouldn‘t feel sorry for refusing food that I don‘t want to eat.
43So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self–confidence and energy, extends life and 44above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It‘s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
41. Why is there a smile on the author‘s face in the morning?
A. Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.
B. Because she finishes her favorite exercise
C. Because she enjoys the interesting DVD
D. Because she feels a sense of achievement
42. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2 ？
A. She doesn‘t like others r politely
B. She likes to make others surprised
C. Others don‘t understand what she does.
D. Others try to help her by offering her food
43. What does the underlined word ―commitment‖ in the last paragraph mean?
A. Good health
B. Firm belief
C. A strong power
D. A regular half
44. What can we learn about the author from the text?
A. She acts in a strange way
B. She wants to look different from others
C. She aims to develop a good body shape
D. She has difficult getting along with others
41. D 本题考查细节理解。根据第一段最后一句话―It‘s a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.‖可知作者脸上的微笑不是因为DVD的结束，而是因为一种成功的微笑，因为自己锻炼挑战了身体的极限。
42. C 本题考查细节理解。从别人看到我跑步穿过城镇摇头；当我拒绝别人给我的可口食物时我拒绝接受，他们感到惊讶可以看出他们不明白，我这样做是为了保持体形，愉悦身心。
43. B 本题考查推理判断。我能够每天早上很早起床锻炼，抵御住美味的诱惑，需要坚定的信念和意志力。
44. C 本题考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的―…above all improves my body shape.‖可知作者加强锻炼，克制饮食的主要目的是为了保持一个好的体型。
B
Exploit your parking space
An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement（广告）for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.
Rent（出租）a room
Spare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed ―rent a room‖ program, 45you won‘t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.
Make money during special events
Don‘t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. 46Grashpadder
can advertise your space.
Live on set
Renting your home out as a ―film set‖ could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.
Use your roof
You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment (around £14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. 47However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.
45. If you earn £5000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ______.
A. £800 B. £500
C. £4500 D. £5000
46. Where can you put an advertisement to rent out a room during a big event?
A. On Letpark.
B. On Roomspare.
C. On Grashpadder.
D. On Roommateeasy.
47. If you want to use energy free, you have to_____.
A. sign an agreement with the government
B. pay around £14,000 for the equipment
C. sell the roof to some energy companies
D. keep the roof unchanged for within 25 years
48. For whom the text most probably written?
A. Lodgers.
B. Advertisers.
C. House owners.
D. Online companies

The pound new Library of Birmingham（LoB）will be the most visible sign of the way the city is accepting the digitalization（数字化）of everyday life.
Set to open in 2013, the £188m LoB is already beginning to take shape next to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, with which it will share some equipment.
As digital media（媒介）49the project is already providing chances for some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies. Brian Gambles, the LoB project director, says 51.a it is about giving people the right tools for learning：―The aim is to mix the physical with the digital. 51.b Providing 24-hour services which can be used through many different ways. It is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.‖
The digital library will, he says, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public.
Even before the LoB is complete, the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual（虚拟的）LoB, designed by Baden, the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists. 50Not only have the public been able to learn about LoB, but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.
Two other small Birmingham-based digital companies are working on the LoB projects. Substrat, a digital design company, is developing what it calls an ―enlarged reality‖ project. It is about the
use of an exciting smart phone, an important part of LoB the which is the early stages of development. And The People‘s Archive is an online library of figures of the city being built content company in Cahoots,51.d in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material.

―Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher.‖ You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James March, a predecessor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organization decision making. 53For 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. 55In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things. 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. Though the book is short,
it is demanding：54Don‘t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.
53. According to the text, James March is .
A. a poet who uses experience in his writing
B. a teacher who teachers story writing in university
C. a researcher who studies the way humans think and act
D. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions
54. According to James March, experience .
A. is overvalued
B. is easy to explain
C. should be actively sought
D. should be highly respected
55. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Experience makes stories more accurate.
B. Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.
C. The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.
D. Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.
56. What‘s the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a book. B. To describe a researcher.
C. To explain experiential learning. D. To discuss organizational decision making.
53. C 考查细节理解。根据第一段中―For years March…has studied how humans think and
act…‖可知James March是一位一直在从事人类思想和行动方法研究的科学家。
54. A 考查推理判断。根据文章最后一句话―Don‘t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons.
Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.‖结合全文不难看出以往人们对经验估价的过高。
55. B考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中―In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things.‖可知我们在努力增加故事的趣味性的时候，丢掉了它的真实性。
56. A 考查主旨大意。整篇文章主要介绍了James March的一本叫做《前车可鉴？》的书。

In business, there is a speed difference: It‘s the difference between how important a firm‘s leaders say speed is to their competitive (竞争的) strategy（策略）and how fast the company actually moves. 59The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. 57Companies 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, 57the companies that chose
to go, go, go to try to gain an make sure they were on the right track. What‘s more, the firms that ―slowed down to speed up ―improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating income over a three-year period.
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, 59higher performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became 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 fast all the time， paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn‘t develop team spirit among their employees, 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 goal.
58. 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.
57. B 考查推理判断。根据第一段中―Companies fearful or losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.‖和第二段中的―the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended with lower sales and operating incomes ...‖ 可知那些害怕丢掉竞争优势的公司会一味的追求速度。
58. D 考查推理判断。根据第三段中第一句话可知那些―不遵循‖（disobey）商业法则的公司比竞争者花的时间多（速度慢）却表现得更好，反过来商业法则应该是―花更少的时间（速度快），做得更好‖。
59. C 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的―higher performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary‖可知受战略速度指导的公司会实时的对公司的战略做出调整。根据第一段中的―The difference is important regardless of industry and company size.‖可知公司行动的快慢，竞争力的大小与公司的大小和生产的东西无关，排除A、B项。
60. D 考查主旨大意。本文主要阐述了在商业竞争中并不是速度越快越好，相反那些速度慢的公司会根据情况实时调整战略往往会取的竞争的优势。故D项―我们真的需要速度吗？慢点吧！‖符合题意。

书面表达的题目则是四川卷高考英语趋于稳定的象征。书面表达文已经连续三年考察提纲式作文，而且从题材上看来，2010年成人仪式发言稿，2009年介绍中国社交习俗，今年课外活动类题材更加贴近学生的生活,让每位考生在落笔的时候都能够有真实的体会。书面表达再次体现了四川卷对于审题的要求，围绕提纲展开。只要考生在构思的时候紧扣提纲来展开，这篇文章的难度是比较低的。
范文：
After-class Activities
Nowadays, after-class activities are becoming more and more popular in high schools. In our school, there are various kinds of activities, for example, arts and sports. We enjoy them very much. Playing football and reading stories are my favorites which do me lots of good. Besides building my body and enriching my knowledge, they also free me from the heavy work of study.
Here I have some suggestion. To students, you‘d better choose the activities which interest you and suit you; to school, they should organize more activates for students and leave students more time for activates by giving them less home work.
Dear friends, please actively take part in after-class activates, which will not only make your school life colorful, but also improve your learning.
解析： 在写作时，注意把握好时态，应该以现在时态和过去时态为中心，以第一人称为主，词数严格控制在80-120之间，文中可穿插使用一些表示逻辑关系的连词、副词、介词短语、句型等，如，if, when, but, for example, I‘m afraid, besides…，做到书写工整，卷面整洁。在有把握的情况下，可以使用一些高级词汇和句式，来为自己的书面表达增光添彩。
