46、5 are based on the following passage."Opinion" is a word that is often used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. This casual use would probably cause little confusion if people didn't attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most

47、 do attach great importance to it. "I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours," and "Everyone's entitled to his opinion," are common expressions. In fact, anyone who would challenge another's opinion is likely to be branded intolerant.    Is that label

48、accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge 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

49、. 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 matter of taste."    But consider this very different use of the term. A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has deliver

50、ed 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 s

51、omewhere 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 i

52、s not only permitted, but guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long is, in doing so, we do not harm others.51、 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 opinio

53、ns often leads to confusion.    C. Most people tend to be careless in forming their opinion.    D. Casual use of the word "opinion" often brings about quarrels.52、 According to the author, who of the following would be labeled as intolerant?    A. Someone who

54、turns a deaf ear to others' opinions.    B. Someone who can't put up with others' tastes.    C. Someone who values only their own opinions.    D. Someone whose opinion harms other people.53、 The new Ford cars are cited as an example to show that _.   &#

55、160;A. it is foolish to criticize a famous brand    B. one should not always agree to others' opinions    C. personal tastes are not something to be challenged    D. it is unwise to express one's likes and dislikes in public54、 Considered judgment is different f

56、rom personal preference in that _.    A. it is stated by judges in the court    B. it reflects public likes and dislikes    C. it is a result of a lot of controversy    D. it is based ,on careful thought55、 As indicated in the passage, being free to act on one

57、's opinion _.    A. means that one can ignore other people's criticism    B. means that one can impose his preferences on others    C. doesn't mean that one has the right to do things at will    D. doesn't mean that one has the right to charge

58、others without evidenceQuestions 56-60 are based on the following passage.New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It's now a "global village" where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit f

59、rom this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.    Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modem businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modem markets, success overseas often he

60、lps support domestic business efforts.    Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being "out of sight and out of mind." He or she can be sure that the overseas e

61、ffort is central to the company's plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superior will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultura

62、l considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent.    Thanks to a variety of relatively inexperience communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. English is still th

63、e international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn't generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.    

64、;The employee posted abroad who speaks the country's principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the

65、 telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.56、 What is the author's attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?    A. Critical.               B. Indifferent.       C. Prejudiced.
