I was 26 to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual dictionary. 27 it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one 28, to be honest, I found it extremely 29 to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and 30 not fully understand the meaning, I was used to the 31 bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are 32 both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt 33 to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I 34 that monolingual dictionaries are 35 in learning a foreign language As I found out, there is 36 often NO perfect equivalence(对应)between two 37 in two languages. My aunt even goes so far as to 38 that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the 39 meaning of a word in English! 40, she insisted that I read the definition(定义) of a word in a monolingual dictionary 41 I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. 42, 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) 43 number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 44 exposed to（接触）the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 45 this, I can express myself more easily in English.26. A. worriedB. sadC. nervousD. surprised 27. A. AlthoughB. BecauseC. UnlessD. If28. A. orB. soC. butD. and29. A. interestingB. difficultC. ambiguousD. practical30. A. thusB. evenC. againD. still31.

According to第二部分 阅读理解第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项涂黑。 AAsk someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place. The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical households waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of areas for burying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary. There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.46. What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to? A. Having more material than is needed. B. Recycling too many wastes.C. Making more products than necessary. D. Using too much packaging47. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _.A. the tendency of cutting household waste B. the fact of packaging overuse C. the rapid growth of super markets D. the increase of packaging recycling48. According to the text, recycling _. A. is the solution to gas shortage B. means burning packaging for energy C. helps control the greenhouse effect D. leads to a waste of land49. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The author is proud of their consumer cultureB. Needless material is mostly recycled. C. People like collecting recyclable waste.D. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.BWhen I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.One days, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破) one of Dads shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.” She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes. Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course shed let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when wed be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone. Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.50. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family? A. Look at them sadly. B.

Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.A second study, looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results dont prove that TV is the cause and dont rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人) may watch lots of TV. Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than two hours and a half for those who had no education beyond high school. In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest. While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to findings that children shouldnt have TVs in their bedrooms.54. According to the California study, the low-scoring group might _. A. have had computers in their bedrooms B. not be interested in math C. be unable to go to college D. have watched a lot of TV 55. What is the researchers understanding of the New Zealand study results?A. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds. B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest. C. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain. D. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.56. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. TV sets shouldn't be allowed in childrens bedrooms.B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV. C. More time should be spent on computers. D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done.57. What would be the best title for this text? A. Computers or Television B. Television and Children's Learning Habit C. Studies on TV and College Education D. Effects of Television on ChildrenDHoney(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees nest(巢)and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper-a little bird called a honey guide. The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, th
