(10·遼寧)

When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was __36___to see that it was an English English dictionary, also known as a monolingual dictionary._37___it was a dictionary intended for non—native learners, none of my classmates had one __38__, to be honest, I found it extremely __39_ to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and _40__ not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the __41__ bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are _42__ both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt __43_ to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I _44__ that monolingual dictionaries are __45_ in learning a foreign language

     As I found out, there is __46_ often no perfect equivalence(對應(yīng))between two _47___ in two language. My aunt even goes so far as to 48___ that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the __49___ meaning of a word in English! ___50_ , she insisted that I read the definition(定義) of a world in a monolingual dictionary __51___ I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. ____52__, 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    number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am    54    exposed to（接觸）the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas.   55   this, I can express myself more easily in English.

    這是一篇記敘文，作者主要描寫自己從最初接觸英英詞典的驚異，到習(xí)慣使用英英詞典以及使用英語詞典的好處。

36.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”。

37.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。

38.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。

39. A。最初用英英詞典，不習(xí)慣，所以作者感覺用起來“很難difficult”。interesting是“有趣味的意思”，根據(jù)下文not fully understand the meaning不可能是這個答案；ambiguous是“不明確的”；practical是“實用的”，這兩個詞也不符合語境。

40.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”的意思。

41.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。

42.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“解釋出來”的，所以用explained。

43.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)。 

44.D。過去不理解，經(jīng)過一段時間后，“明白了understand”；imagine是“想象”的意思；recommend是“推薦”的意思；predict是“預(yù)測”的意思。

45.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easier則不可能。

46.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是“至多；充其量”；at times是“有時”；in case是“萬一，以防”，顯然A、C、D項不合語境。

47.A。詞典上重點的內(nèi)容應(yīng)該是單詞。        

48.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。

49.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(zhǔn)確的問題，所以用exact。

50. 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。

51. A。表示“當(dāng)……時候”，用when引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句。而before通常指“在……之前”；until指“直到……時候”；while指“在……的同時”。

52. 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”。

53. 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。

54. 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”，

55. 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。

 (10·遼寧B篇)

I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, '“I’m  having a dinner party' means: "I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the checque evenly, no matter what you eat." Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They'll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: "Where are you going?" And it's not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone know I have nowhere to go.

    But in London, dinner parties are in people's homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's, a well-known department store.

    For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery's, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club

 60. What does the word "shot" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

    A. Choice.       B. Try          C. Style.            D. Goal

61. What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?

    A There is a strange mix of people.       B. The restaurants are expensive.

    C. The bill is not fairly shared.           D. People have to pay cash

62. What does the author think of the parties in London?

  A. A bit unusual     B．Full of tricks.    C．Less costly.     D More interesting.

63. What is the author's opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience？

    A. Easy-going.    B. Self-centred.    C. Generous.    D. Conservative.
