When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary.

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(对应)between two _12___ in two language. 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(定义) of a world 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) 18number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 19exposed to(接触)the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 20this, I can express myself more easily in English.

1.C 。 通读全文可知,作者是一个中国大学生,中国人学英语,尤其是初学者习惯使用英汉词典。当作者看到英英词典的时候,他感到“吃惊”。
2.B。前后两句在意义上是让步关系,所以用although引导让步状语从句。而A项because引导原因状语从句;Unless和if’引导条件状语从句。
3.A。此空格处是一个并列连词,连接前后两句。而前后两句之间存在的是转折关系,所以用but。
4.A。最初用英英词典,不习惯,所以作者感觉用起来“很难difficult”。interesting是“有趣味的意思”,根据下文not fully understand the meaning不可能是这个答案;ambiguous是“不明确的”;practical是“实用的”,这两个词也不符合语境。
5.C。句子中有否定词not,有副词fully,所以用still,表示“仍然不能够完全”的意思。
6.B。be used to 表示“习惯……,对作者来说习惯了双语词典,或者说是英汉词典。这里指双语词典的使用对他来说是熟悉。
7.A。此句是一个in which引导的定语从句,其中words是主语,根据常识在词典中单词的意思是被“解释出来”的,所以用explained。
8.C。我真想知道我姑妈为什么决定这么为难我。其他三个词虽然都跟动词不定式,但是在这里意思都不恰当。
9.D。过去不理解,经过一段时间后,“明白了understand”;imagine是“想象”的意思;recommend是“推荐”的意思;predict是“预测”的意思。
10.B。此句中monolingual dictionaries和bilingual dictionaries比较,A和D项没用比较级,better强调更好,更实用,而easier则不可能。
11.B。常见的情况是实际上两种语言之间的两个词没有完全的对应。in fact表示“实际上,事实上”。at best是“至多;充其量”;at times是“有时”;in case是“万一,以防”,显然A、C、D项不合语境。
12.A。词典上重点的内容应该是单词。
13.B。我姑妈甚至还声称汉语意思决不能给出一个英语单词的确切意思。
14.A。前面的a Chinese equivalent和the meaning of a word in English对应,所表明还是对应不准确的问题,所以用exact。
15.C。此空后面的句子和前面表示的是一种“因果”关系,所以用therefore。
16.A。表示“当……时候”,用when引导时间状语从句。而before通常指“在……之前”;until指“直到……时候”;while指“在……的同时”。
17.C。该句的谓语have come to see是表示“变化过程”,所以用gradually表示“渐渐地”。
18.D。从后面的around 2,000可知词典中用于解释词义的词是限制在2,000左右。
19.A。在有限的范围内,查阅阅读释义的话,就会反复接触基本词汇、学会这些词汇怎样用来解释事物和观点,所以用repeatedly表示“反复地,经常地”,
20.D。后面主句部分I can express myself more easily in English.表达的是结果,此处表达的应该是原因,说明使用这种词典所带来的好处。
阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项。
It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (伤疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
