Use the words (phrases) given in the box to fill in the blanks, changing the form where necessary. Use only one word (phrase) in each blank. There are two extra words (phrases) which
22、 you do not need to use. accept, abnormal, correct, majority, design, allow to, minority, high, connect with, left, most, advantage The majority of people, about nine out of ten, are right-handed. Up until recently, people who were left-handed were considered【 79】 , and once children showed this ten
23、dency they were forced to use their right hands. Today left-handedness is generally【 80】 , but it is still a disadvantage in a world where most people are right-handed. For example, most tools and implements are still【 81】 for right-handed people. In sports, by contrast, doing things with the left h
24、and or tbot, is often a(n)【 82】 Throwing, kicking, punching or batting from the “wrong“ side may result in throwing off many opponents who are more accustomed to dealing with the【 83】 of players who are right-handed. This is why, in many games at a professional level, a【 84】 proportion of players ar
25、e left-handed than in the population as a whole. The word “right“ in many languages means “ correct“ or is【 85】 with lawfulness, whereas the words associated with “【 86】 “, such as “sinister“, generally have negative associations . Moreover, among a number of primitive peoples there is a close assoc
26、iation between death and left hand. In the past, in【 87】 Western societies, children were often forced to use their right hands, especially to write with. In some cases the left hand was tied behind the childs back so it could not be used. If, in the future, they are【 88】 choose, there will certainl
27、y be more left-handers, and probably fewer people with minor psychological disturbances as a result of being forced to use their right hand. Section A 55 “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 prob
28、ably cause little confusion if people didnt attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most do 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
29、 opinion is likely to be branded intolerant. Is that label 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, theyre ugly.“ In this case, it would not only be intolerant to ch
30、allenge 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 matter of taste.“ But consider this very different use of the term. A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delive
31、red 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 bet
32、ween 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
33、 guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long is, in doing so, we do not harm others. 56 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 t
34、end to be careless in forming their opinion. （ D） Casual use of the word “opinion“ often brings about quarrels. 57 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）
35、 Someone who values only their own opinions. （ D） Someone whose opinion harms other people. 58 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 opinions （ C） personal tastes are not something to be cha
36、llenged （ D） it is unwise to express ones likes and dislikes in public 59 Considered judgment is different from 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
37、thought 60 As indicated in the passage, being free to act on ones opinion _. （ A） means that one can ignore other peoples criticism （ B） means that one can impose his preferences on others （ C） doesnt mean that one has the right to do things at will （ D） doesnt mean that one has the right to charge
38、others without evidence 60 New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. Its now a “global village“ where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhance
39、d 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 helps support domestic business efforts. Overseas assignments are becoming in
40、creasingly 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 effort is central to the companys plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany a
41、n 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-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent. Thanks to a variety
42、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 the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A
43、 second language isnt generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal. The employee posted abroad who speaks the countrys principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and ca
44、n 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 telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm. 61 What is the authors attitude toward high-tech communications equipment? （
45、A） Critical. （ B） Indifferent. （ C） Prejudiced. （ D） Positive. 62 With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, businesspeople _. （ A） have to get familiar with modern technology （ B） are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations （ C） are attaching more importance to th
