　　When I first entered university，my aunt，who is an English professor，gave me a new English dictionary.I was __1__ to see that it was an English dictionary，also known as a monolingual dictionary.__2__ it was a dictionary intended for non­native learners，none of my classmates had one __3__，to be honest，I found it extremely __4__ to use at first.I would look up words in the dictionary and __5__ not fully understand the meaning.I was used to the __6__ bilingual dictionaries，in which the words are __7__ both in English and Chinese.I really wondered why my aunt __8__ to make things so difficult for me.Now，after studying English at university for three years，I __9__ that monolingual dictionaries are __10__ in learning a foreign language.

　　As I found out，there is __11__ often no perfect equivalence (對應(yīng)) between two __12__ in two languages.My aunt even goes so far as to __13__ that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the __14__ meaning of a word in English! __15__，she insisted that I read the definition(定義) of a word in a monolingual dictionary __16__ I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning.__17__，I have come to see what she meant.

　　Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way.This dictionary uses a(n) __18__ number of words，around 2,000，in its definitions.When I read these definitions，I am __19__ exposed to(接觸) the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas.__20__ this，I can express myself more easily in English.

　　【語篇解讀】 這是一篇記敘文，作者主要描寫自己從最初接觸英漢詞典的驚異，到習(xí)慣使用英漢詞典以及使用英漢語詞典的好處。

　　1.A.worried B.sad C.surprised D.nervous

　　答案　C　[通讀全文可知，作者是一個中國大學(xué)生，中國人學(xué)英語，尤其是初學(xué)者習(xí)慣使用英漢詞典。當(dāng)作者看到英英詞典的時候，他感到“吃驚”。]

　　2.A.Because B.Although C.Unless D.If

　　答案　B　[前后兩句在意義上是讓步關(guān)系，所以用although引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。而A項because引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句，unless和if引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句。]

　　3.A.but B.so C.or D.and

　　答案　A　[此空格處是一個并列連詞，連接前后兩句。而前后兩句之間存在的是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以用but。]

　　4.A.difficult B.interesting C.ambiguous D.practical

　　答案　A　[最初用英英詞典，不習(xí)慣，所以作者感覺用起來很難。interesting是“有趣味的意思”，根據(jù)下文not fully understand the meaning排除;ambiguous“不明確的”;practical“實用的”。]

　　5.A.thus B.even C.still D.again

　　答案　C　[句子中有否定詞not，有副詞fully，所以用still，表示“仍然不能夠完全明白”的意思。]

　　6.A.new B.familiar C.earlier D.ordinary答案　B　[be used to表示“習(xí)慣……”，對作者來說習(xí)慣了雙語詞典，或者說是英漢詞典。這里指雙語詞典的使用對他來說是熟悉。]

　　7.A.explained B.expressed C.described D.created

　　答案　A　[此句是一個in which引導(dǎo)的定語從句，其中words是主語，根據(jù)常識在詞典中單詞的意思是被“用兩種語言解釋出來”的，所以用explained。]

　　8.A.offered B.agreed C.decided D.happened

　　答案　C　[“我”真想知道“我”姑媽為什么決定這么為難“我”。其他三個詞雖然都跟動詞不定式，但是在這里意思都不恰當(dāng)。]

　　9.A.imagine B.recommend C.predict D.understand答案　D　[過去不理解，經(jīng)過一段時間后，明白了。]

　　10.A.natural B.better C.easier D.convenient

　　答案　B　[此句中monolingual dictionaries和bilingual dictionaries比較，A和D項沒用比較級，better強調(diào)更好，更實用，而不是easier。]

　　11.A.at best B.in fact C.at times D.in case

　　答案　B　[常見的情況是實際上兩種語言之間的兩個詞沒有完全的對應(yīng)。in fact表示“實際上，事實上”。at best“至多;充其量”;at times“有時”;in case“萬一，以防”。] 12.A.words B.names C.ideas D.characters

　　答案　A　[詞典上重點的內(nèi)容應(yīng)該是單詞。]

　　13.A.hope B.declare C.doubt D.tell

　　答案　B　[“我”姑媽甚至還聲稱漢語意思決不能給出一個英語單詞的確切意思。]

　　14.A.exact B.basic C.translated D.expected

　　答案　A　[前面的a Chinese equivalent和the meaning of a word in English對應(yīng)，所表明還是對應(yīng)不準確的問題，所以用exact。]

　　15.A.Rather B.However C.Therefore D.Instead

　　答案　C　[此空后面的句子和前面表示的是一種“因果”關(guān)系，所以用therefore。]

　　16.A.when B.before C.until D.while

　　答案　A　[表示 “當(dāng)……時候”，用when引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句。before“在……之前”;until“直到……時候”;while“在……的同時”。]

　　17.A.Largely B.Generally C.Gradually D.Probably

　　答案　C　[該句的謂語have come to see是表示“變化過程”，所以用gradually表示“漸漸地”。]

　　18.A.extra B.average C.total D.limited答案　D　[從后面的around 2,000可知詞典中用于解釋詞義的詞是限制在2 000左右。]

　　19.A.repeatedly B.nearly

　　C.immediately D.anxiously

　　答案　A　[在有限的范圍內(nèi)，查閱閱讀釋義的話，就會反復(fù)接觸基本詞匯、學(xué)會這些詞匯怎樣用來解釋事物和觀點，所以用repeatedly表示“反復(fù)地，經(jīng)常地”。]

　　20.A.According to B.In relation to

　　C.In addition to D.Because of

　　答案　D　[后面主句部分I can express myself more easily in English.表達的是結(jié)果，此處表達的應(yīng)該是原因，說明使用這種詞典所帶來的好處。]
