16．______ the warning message，more lives would have been lost in the flood．（ ）| A． | But for | B． | Except for | C． | Regardless of | D． | Instead of |
分析 句意：要不是这个报警信息，更多的生命会葬送在洪水之中．
解答 答案A．
B项"除…之外"；C项"不管，不顾"；D项"而不是"；A项"要不是因为"；"but for"引导含蓄虚拟语气，意为"要不是因为，如果没有"；若主句与过去事实相反，主句用"would/could/should/might+have done"，if从句中用"had+done"，"But for the warning message"可转换成"If it hadn't been for the warning message"理解．因此A项符合语境，故选A．
点评 本题考查介词短语和虚拟语气．解答此类题目先要读懂句意，然后根据上下文语境锁定合适的介词短语．对虚拟语气的各种用法要熟练掌握．

1．When I first entered university，my aunt，who is an English professor，gave me s new English dictionary．I was （36）surprisedto se that it was an English English dictionary，also known as a monolingual dictionary．（37）Althoughit was a dictionary intended for non-native learners，none of my classmates had one （38）and，to be honest，I found it extremely （39）difficult to use at first．I would look up words in the dictionary and （40）still not fully understand the meaning，I wad used to the （41）familiar bilingual dictionaries，in which the words are （42）explained both in English and Chinese，i really wondered why my aunt （43）decided to make things so difficult for me．Now，after studying English at university for three years，I （44）understand that monolingual dictionaries are（45）better in learning a foreign language
As I found out，there is （46）in fact often NO perfect equivalence（对应）between two （47）words in two language．My aunt even goes so far as to （48）declare that a Chinese"equivalent"can never give you the （49）exact meaning of a word in English!（50）Therefore，she insisted that I read the definition（定义） of a world in a monolingual dictionary （51）when I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning． （52）Gradually，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）（53）limited number of words，around 2，000，in its definitions．When I read these definitions，I am（54）repeatedly exposed to（接触）the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas．（55）Because ofthis，I can express myself more easily in English．
