A
“Opinion” is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. This casual (随意的) use would probably cause little puzzlement if people didn't consider opinion to be of too much importance. Unfortunately, we often hear people make remarks such as “I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours”. In fact, anyone who would challenge (质疑) another's opinion is likely to be thought of as intolerant (难以忍受的).
Is it true? Is it really intolerant to challenge another's opinion? It depends on what you think opinion is. 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 word. A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial (有争议的) case. Obviously the judges did not share their personal preferences, their mere likes and dislikes. They stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after careful questioning and thinking.
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 be both. It is a view or belief more or less casually arrived at, with or without examining carefully. Is it right for everyone to have and stick to his own opinion? Of course. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as in doing so, we do not harm others.
1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Everyone has a right to hold his own opinion.
B. Free expression of opinions often leads to puzzlement.
C. Most people are often careless in forming their opinions.
D. Casual use of the word “opinion” often brings about quarrels.
2. Considered judgment is different from personal preference in that ________.
A. it is stated by judges in the court B. it suggests public's likes and dislikes
C. it is a result of a lot of argument D. it is based on careful thought
B
In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful (有压力的) events. They found out that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like “serious illness of a family member” were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not show how you deal with stress-it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you deal with these events has a great effect on your chances of staying healthy.
By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women's magazines ran headlines like “Stress causes illness!” If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many-like the death of a loved one-are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription(处方) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.
The idea that all stress makes you sick also takes no notice of what we know about people. It is supposed that we're all weak and passive in the face of difficulty. But many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental strength than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom and physical and mental damage.
3. The studies on stress in the early 1970's led to ________.
A. widespread worry over its harmful effects
B. great fear about the mental problems it could cause
C. a deep research into illnesses connected with stress
D. popular avoidance of stressful jobs
4. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become _______.
A. discouraged when faced with difficulty
B. physically and mentally weak
C. more experienced in the face of difficulty
D. uninterested in what happens to them
5. What's the purpose of writing the text?
A. To tell people the discoveries about stress.
B. To tell people how to keep healthy.
C. To help people avoid stressful events.
D. To help people view stress properly.

[答案与解析]
I. 1. you→yourself。 make oneself happy“使自己高兴”,是习惯用法。2. find后加it。 it 为形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式短语。3. Did→Do。用一般现在时表示“经常”。 4. can后加be。 情态动词后应加动词原形再加形容词。5. 去掉will。6. give→giving。 giving与taking 并列作介词of的宾语。7. even后加though或if。 even though / if为从属连词,意为“即使,纵然”,引导让步状语从句。 8. follow→follows 9. 本行无错。10. necessarily→necessary。完整形式应为when it is necessary to do so。
II. 1. 去掉me。间接宾语me已经与for构成介词短语写在了后面。2. 去掉in。3. usefully→useful。get后用形容词作表语。4. that→what。what引导宾语从句且在从句中用作主语,而that不能充当宾语从句的主语。5. 本行无错。 6. but→however。however 是副词,并用逗号与其它词隔开,而but为连词,连接并列句。7. did→do。前后时态照应。8. and前的it改为them。代指前面的exercises。 9. very→more。more convenient...than before构成比较结构。10. the前加for。 prepare for the exam意为“为考试作准备”。

《赤壁》精析精练
【精析】
杜牧于会昌二年(842)出任黄州刺史期间,曾游览黄州赤壁矶。站在滔滔东去的大江之滨,观“赤壁”而思史,回忆三国时代在鄂州赤壁矶所发生的吴蜀联军大败曹兵,从而奠定三国鼎立局面的“赤壁之战 ”。抚今追昔,兴之所至,挥笔写下了这著名的咏史诗。
一、二句写作者在江边淤沙之中,诗人以一柄残戟置于诗端,引发后两句的历史议论,具有历史的纵深感。
三、四句是说周瑜的获胜是偶然的机遇所致,仅凭一时侥幸并不是安邦定国之策。假若不是东风骤起,蜀军相助,周瑜的火攻之计大显神威,那么,东吴政权就必然为曹操所灭。这两句诗颇具史论意味,见解独到。诗人对周瑜的谐谑揶揄,暗示了对曹操的肯定。“东风不与周郎便,铜雀春深锁二乔。”这两句是诗人的议论,也是一种假设,如果天不作美,没有东风相助,那么周瑜就不会战败曹操,“二乔”就会成为曹操的战利品,深锁铜雀楼,供曹操享用。换言之,就是说当时从军事实力方面看,周瑜根本就不是曹操的敌手,之所以胜了曹操,那是因为老天作美,为周瑜提供了风向之便。是对周瑜的嘲讽,也是借以
