【解析】

試題分析：文章講述了自己剛剛進(jìn)入大學(xué)，姨媽沒有給自己一個雙語詞典，而是給了一個英英詞典，剛開始我不理解，后來明白了姨媽的意圖，從而更好的學(xué)習(xí)了英語。

1. I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me s new English dictionary. I was _____to see that it was an English-English dictionary,一般學(xué)生都用雙解詞典，而一進(jìn)入大學(xué)，姑媽就給作者一本英英詞典，因此感到驚訝，所以選B。

2.____it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one可知這是為英語學(xué)習(xí)者編寫的一本詞典，但是作者 的同學(xué)沒有一個擁有這樣的詞典。根據(jù)句意可知D項(xiàng)正確。

3. ，答案為A項(xiàng)。

4. found it extremely ___ to use at first.可知第一次使用應(yīng)該是困難的，所以選B。

5. I would look up words in the dictionary and ___ not fully understand the meanings.我查找單詞并且仍然沒有理解這樣的意思，所以選D。

6. was used to the ____ bilingual dictionaries,可知我習(xí)慣了用熟悉的詞典，所以選B。

7. are ___ both in English and Chinese.可知以前用的詞典是用英語和漢語一起解釋的，所以選C。

8. 可知事”；agree to do sth.“同意做某事”； decide to do sth.“決定做某事”；hap pen to do sth.“碰巧做某事”。雙語解詞典比較容易，而用英英詞典則比較困難，所以作者不知道姑媽為什么 決定要這樣做。故A項(xiàng)正確。

13. aunt even goes so far as to _____ that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the _____ meaning of a word in English!可知遠(yuǎn)不會給出一個英語單詞的確切意義 。hope “希望”；declare“宣布，宣稱 ”后可直接接賓語從句；doubt “懷疑” ，與句意不符；tell要接雙賓語。綜上所述可知A正確。
