1、河北专接本英语（阅读理解）模拟试卷 1 及答案与解析0 “Opinion“ is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment.

A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial case. Obviously the justices did not show their pe
5、rsonal 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.

41、rtance will perhaps be greatly reduced by the end of the century by an invention so new to be still unnamed.The invention is a machine that floats above any surface on a cushion(垫子) of air.
