　　Most dictionaries will tell you a lot of things about a language. There are three important things. These three things are spelling, pronunciation(发音) and meanings. First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a word. If you are not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in alphabetical order(按字母顺序)－a, b, c and so on. For example, on a dictionary page the word “poor” p, o, o, r－comes before “poverty” －p, o, v, e, r, t, y－and the word “poverty” comes before the word “power” －p, o, w, e, r. The words are always given in alphabetical order.

　　The second thing, a dictionary will tell you how a word is pronounced. There are a few different pronunciations. Most dictionaries give phonetic (语音的), or sound alphabet. The phonetic spelling will tell different phonetic alphabets. Many dictionaries use the International phonetic alphabet(国际音际) to show pronunciation.

　　The third thing, a dictionary will tell you the meanings of words. You can look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary also tell you all of the word's meanings. For example, in English the word “get” has over 20 different meanings.

　　本篇大意是：木匠约翰给主人公的妻子做了一个小饭桌，结账时的账单上把成本费17.00、油漆料钱1.50、工价8.00和日期10一起相加，多计价10元，结果被主人发现了，但他并没有直接批评多要钱的木匠，只是诙谐地说：“月底30日做比月初10日做，还要贵些，是不是？”而且只付了木匠应得到的26.50元钱．很明显，本篇比上篇更难些，因上篇中主人公怀特和厂家双方处理的问题是直接的，直言不讳，而本篇中的主人公却是明人做暗事，肚内藏机关，木匠虽然诡谲，主人却更机灵，一眼看穿了木匠的把戏，但他处理问题颇有技巧，既解决问题，不多花钱，又不搞得很僵，双方不快，体现了现代生意场中的交往策略和洽谈风格．我国正在建设社会主义市场经济，这是法制化、规范化的市场经济，反对不正当的竞争．此文有一定的现实意义，文中的内容联系着当代的社会生活，通过英语试卷，同样可以检验学生：的审视能力．

　　Our village carpenter(木匠), John Hill, came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill(账单) for the job.

　　My wife said to me, quietly, “That's his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said, in a loud voice, “It's a beautiful table, dear, isn't it?”

　　“I'll decide about that when I see the bill,” I said.

　　John laughed and gave me his bill for the work. I read:

　　When I was looking at the bill, John said, “It's been a fine day, hasn't it? Quite sunny.”

　　“Yes,” I said. “I'm glad it's only the 10th of November.”

　　“Me, too,” said John. “You wait-it'll be a lot colder by the end of the month.”

　　“Yes. Colder-and more expensive! Dining tables will be ￡20 more expensive on November 30th, won't they, John?”

　　John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him.

　　“If it isn't too much trouble, John,” I said, “please add it up again. You can forget the date.”

　　I paid him ￡26.50 and he was happy to get it.

D．Because he wanted to tell the writer what the weather was like.

2．Why did the writer say that dining tables would be ￡ 20 more expensive on November 30th?

[　　]

A．Because it was difficult to make dining tables in cold weather.

B．Because paint would be more expensive.

C．Because the cost of wood would be more expensive.

D．Because he thought John would almost certainly add the date to the cost of the dining table.

3．The writer thought John would ask for ________ if he made a dining table on the last day of November.
