    In business, there's a speed difference: It's 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 fear 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 togain 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, 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 incomes over a three-years period.
    How did they disobeythe 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 felt 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.
    1. 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
    2. 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
    3. 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.
    4. 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.

政治经济类阅读

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
  • 政治经济类阅读

政治经济类文章的概念:

要做好这类阅读,平时就要注意了解国内外发生的政治经济大事,掌握一定背景知识,对这类文章的叙述特点及内容安排有一定了解,还要扩展这方面的词汇。阅读这类文章,要抓住文章的核心,即文章整体和各段主要在说什么,也要注意段落之间的逻辑关系。


如何备考政治经济类阅读理解题:

【题型说明】政治经济类阅读文章是高考常选材料之一。该类文章时代气息浓郁,语言鲜活,但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多,长句、难句多。政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容,读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉,经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花,文章看完,一头雾水。再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨,同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。
【备考策略】建立心理优势。针对不同体裁的文章,我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式,我们可采取“顺读法”,以便抓关键语句,领会文章主旨;而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式,我们则可以采取“逆读法”,先读试题,再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。千万不用着急,因为你觉得难,其他人也一定是同感。在高考前,我们就要有这种心理准备,高考试卷肯定有一、两篇难以阅读的材料。不过,我们平时可以有意识地从报刊杂志上找一些较难的阅读材料来阅读,以培养自己迎难而上的心理素质。
【答题方法】
1、寻找主干:
根据英语中五种基本句型结构,把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来,其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干,句子的意思至少明白了一半。
2、剔除从句:
在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句,在理解时,如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解,然后把大意拼凑起来,整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
3、辨别分句:
一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成,句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词,只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系,再把各层分句的意思加以连贯,整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中。
4、寻找关键词:
如果一个句子看完,一点句意的感觉也没有,下下策就是抓住句中的关键词,通过关键词大体弄懂这个长句的意思。
