Is that label accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge another's opinion? It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend, "What do you think of the new Ford cars?" And he may reply, "In my opinion, they're ugly." In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. For it's obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. And as the old saying goes, "It's pointless to argue about matters of taste."
But consider this very different use of the term. A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial case. Obviously the justices did not state their personal preferences, their mere likes and dislikes. They stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and deliberation.
Most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less casually arrived at, with or without examining the evidence.
Is everyone entitled to his opinion? Of course, this is not only permitted, but guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others.
Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the author?
A.Everyone has a right to hold his own opinion.
B.Free expression of opinions often leads to confusion.
C.Most people tend to be careless in forming their opinions.
D.Casual use of the word "opinion" often brings about quarrels.

W: Which is what, according to you?
M: They say 'a friend in need is a friend indeed', which is partly true, but a real friend should also be able to share your happy moments--without feeling jealous. A good friendship is one where you accept and forgive faults, understand moods, and don't feel hurt if a friend doesn't feel like seeing you. Of course, honesty is an essential part of any relationship. We should learn to accept our friends for who they are.
W: As a married man, do you find your friendships are only with other men?
M: Of course not! Both my wife and I have men and women friends -- thank goodness. Although family life is fulfilling, it isn't enough! Both, my wife and I get tremendous satisfaction from our friends, married and single, male and female -- and we both have our separate friends too. We'd get bored with each other if we had the same friends!
W: You must have a full life.
M: We certainly do! And as I say, our friends give us a lot of plea- sure. After all, friends should not be people with whom you kill time. Real friendship, in my opinion, is a 'spiritually developing' experience.

A.One where you can accept and forgive faults.
B.One where you understand moods.
C.One where you chat.
D.One where you don't feel hurt if a friend doesn't feel like seeing you.

B.The speaker' s arrangement of the speaker' s marriage ceremony.
C.The parents' opinion of Susan.
D.The speaker' s plan for the future.
第6题
听力原文: I met Susan at a dance about six months ago. We get along well together since we like music, dancing, swimming, and tennis. But whenever I start to get serious about our relationship and try to discuss with her how she feels about me and whether we might consider marriage, she gets angry and refuses to talk about it. Usually, she says something like: "I'm not the marrying kind" or "We're having too much fun to be serious." Besides all these, I don' t think that my parents like her very much. They think that she's not very intelligent.

For my part, I have never presumed my mind to be more perfect than average in any way; I have, in fact, often wished that my thoughts were as quick, or my imagination as precise and distinct, or my memory as capacious or prompt, as those of some other men.
And I know of no other qualities than these which make for the perfection of the mind; for as to reason, or good sense, inasmuch as it alone makes us men and distinguishes us from the beasts, I am quite willing to believe that it is whole and entire in each of us, and to follow in the common opinion of the philosophers who say that there are differences of more or less only among the accidents, and not among the forms, or natures, of the individuals of a single species.
According to the author, the three elements that comprise the perfect mind are ______.
A.tenacity of thought, capacious memory, quickness of mind
B.precise imagination, tenacity of memory, quickness of thought
C.quickness of wit, ease of conscience, quickness of thought
D.promptness of memory, distinctness of imagination, quickness of thought

Dear Mr. Leigh Richards,
As I was unable to access the questionnaire online, I am sending feedback on my hotel stay directly to you.
I was impressed by many of the facilities your hotel offers, but I especially enjoyed the state-of-the-art fitness center. It had three times as many machines as one normally finds in other hotels, and the 24-hour access made it possible for me to work out at any time I wished. Although I did not eat at European-style. restaurant, NoMi, I did order room-service dinners from there several times and was impressed with the quality of the meals. I was less enthusiastic about your business center, which could use a few more computers and a new copier. I was also disappointed in the lack of parking facilities.
Generally, I would say that the benefits of staying at your hotel far outweighed the disadvantages and that overall I had a pleasant week at the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel. As my job requires me to travel to Ohio frequently, I expect to become one of your regular guests.
Best regards,
Laura Godwin

听力原文:M: Hey, honey, why do you look so happy?
W: Great news. We just won $400 in the lottery.
M: Wonderful! How do we spend the money?
W: Well, I'm just thinking about it. Can we buy a new microwave stove?
M: With $400, we can afford the most expensive one.
W: Sure, but on second thought, don't you think our washing machine is out of style?
M: Well, that's still affordable. Hey, how about a camera? Look, we don't have a camera; a camera will give us a lot of pleasure. Why should we spend all our money on family appliance instead of some luxuries?
W: Well, I don't think it's a good idea.
M: Ok, let's think carefully about it.
W: Oh, How about something more exciting and attractive.
M: What is it?
W: Why not buy some jewelry? I need something that makes me more elegant and beautiful.
M: Well, in my opinion, you are pretty in your plain way.
W: Really, thank you, but I still insist on having a gold necklace.
