题目内容
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-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual(单语的) dictionary. __2__ it was a dictionary intended for non-native 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(双语的) 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 understand that monolingual dictionaries are __9__ in learning a foreign language.
As I found out, there is __10__ often no perfect equivalence(对应)between two words in two languages. My aunt even goes so far as to tell that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the __11__ meaning of a word in English! __12__, she insisted that I read the definition of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. __13__, 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) __14__ number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am repeatedly exposed to(接触)the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. __15__ this, I can express myself more easily in English.
