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(对应)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(定义) 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(接触)the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 55 this, I can express myself more easily in English.

这是一篇记叙文,作者主要描写自己从最初接触英英词典的惊异,到习惯使用英英词典以及使用英语词典的好处。
36.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”。
37.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。
38.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。
39. 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。
40.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。
41.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。
42.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。
43.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。
44.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。
45.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。
46.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。
47.A。词典上重点的内容应该是单词。
48.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。
49.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。
50. 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。
51. 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”。
52. 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”。
53. 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。
54. 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”,
55. 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。

(10·辽宁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.
