2014高考英语完形填空专题训练精品题（87）及答案阅读理解-c“opinion” is a word that is used carelessly today. it is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. this inaccurate use would probably cause little confusion if people didnt attach too much importance to opinion. unfortunately, most attach great importance to it. “i have as much right to my opinion as you to yours, and everyones entitled to his opinion, are common expressions. in fact, anyone who would challenge anothers opinion is likely to be branded intolerant.is that label accurate? is it intolerant to challenge anothers 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, theyre ugly.” in this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. for its obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. and as the old saying goes, its 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(有争议的) case. obviously the justices did not share their personal preferences, their mere likes and dislikes. they stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and deliberation(审议).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 inaccurately 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. 8. 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 always 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. 9. according to the author, who of the following would be labeled as intolerant?a. someone who turns a deaf ear to others opinions.b. someone who cant put up with others tastes.c. someone who values only their own opinions.d. someone whose opinion harms other people.10. the new ford cars are cited as an example to show that _.a. it is foolish to criticize a famous brand b. one should not always agree to others opinionsc. personal tastes are not something to be challengedd. it is unwise to express ones likes and dislikes in public11. considered judgment is different from personal preference in that _.a. it is stated by judges in the courtb. it reflects public like and dislikesc. it is a result of a lot of controversyd. it is based on careful thought 阅读理解（共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分）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。

teenage footwear. but experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future. here, the experts identify the problems caused by teenagers shoe choice. keds/vansslip-on shoes with elastic (弹性的）sides are particularly popular among teenage boys - with keds and vans the most sought-after brands. the main problem is that they are just too flatso flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.ballet pumpsthe worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes. the problem is partly their flatness, as with keds and vans. however ballet pumps, which have no string or heel, have other specific problems. “as the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing an awkward gait（步法）, this leads to short- and long-term problems such as calluses（茧子）, heel and knee pain.” wedges and stilettosthese shoes can also cause problems with gait. they may look good, but the heels on these are so high they can force the wearers body weight forward, making them very unstable.teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with constant back pain. school shoesso what do podiatrists（足科医生）have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear? something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes, such as clarks, marks & spencer or rhino. if your teen insists on wearing bad shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics(矫形器) in the shoes. these support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often transform their walk and halt the damage. 61. of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems? a. marks & spencer. b. wedges & stilettos. c. keds and vans. d. ballet pumps.62. which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists wish list? a. b. c. d.63. the underlined word “halt” in the last paragraph probably means _.a. increase b. worsen c. stop d. cure64. from this passage we can infer _. a. trendy shoes may ruin teenagers healthb. fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them c. experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes d. podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes65. in which column of mail online can you find this passage? a. sports. b. science. c. health. d. shopping.参考答案 6165 dbcac阅读理解-da friend of mine, in response to a conversation we were having about the injustices of life, asked me the question, “who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to be fair?” her question was a good one. it reminded me of something i was taught as a youngster: life isnt fair. its disappointing, but its absolutely true. one of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. its not and it wont.one of the nice things about surrendering(屈从) to the fact that life isnt fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. we know its not “lifes job” to make everything perfect, its our own challenge. surrendering to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt a different hand; everyone has unique strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions; and everyone has those times that they feel victimized or unfairly treated.the fact that life isnt fair doesnt mean we shouldnt do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. to the contrary, it suggests that we should. when we dont recognize or admit that life isnt fair, we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves. pity, of course, is a self-defeating emotion that does nothing for anyone, except to make everyone feel worse than they already do. when we do recognize that life isnt fair, however, we feel compassion(热情) for others and for ourselves. and compassion is a heartfelt emotion that delivers loving-kindness to everyone it touches. the next time you find yourself thinking about the injustices of the world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. you may be surprised that it can persuade you out of self-pity and into helpful action.12. the writer thought of his friends question as a good one because _.a. he also wanted to know who held such an opinionb. it made him recall something during his childhoodc. like his friend, he also thought life was unfaird. he learned something from the question as a youngster13. surrendering to the fact that life isnt fair will _.a. keep us from making everything perfectb. keep us from doing everything in our powerc. make us face unfair treatment bravelyd. make us know its our duty to perfect things14. the second paragraph of the passage mainly tells us that _.a. its nice to accept the injustice of lifeb. its nice to surrender to the lifec. we should not surrender to the lifed. we should not feel sorry for everything15. in the last paragraph, “this very basic fact” refers to the fact that _.a. you should not pity for othersb. life isnt and wont be fairc. compassion is heartfelt emotiond. pity is a self-defeating emotion beldon
