I.

1.D推理判断题。根据第一段中“However,shedidn'tseemtounderstandwhatI

said”可知,作者说“It，sbucketingoutside”的时候,Cathy好像不理解。由此可推断

出,Cathy感到很困惑，故选D。

2.C细节理解题。根据第二段中“Butlearningsomeslangisafantasticwayof

understandingthecultureofacountry.”可知，学习一些俚语是理解一个国家的文化

的绝妙方法，俚语可以反映一个国家的文化，故选Co

3.B推理判断题。根据第六段“Deadon:Thismeans"exactlyright5,"perfect5,or

showsthatsomeoneagreeswithwhatyou'vesaid.”可知,Deadon的意思是“非常正

确”“完美”或者表明某个人同意你的观点。由此可推断出，当一个人说“Doesthe

wordmean'elevator'?(这个单词是‘电梯’的意思吗?)“时，你就可以说"You'redead

on.”(你是完全正确的)。

4.A推理判断题。本文介绍了英语俚语的作用,同时解释了几个英语俚语的意思,

属于语言文化领域，故选Ao

II.

1.C根据后面的"noneofmyclassmateshadone"和"Iwasusedtothe4

English-Chinesedictionaries”可知，作者的同学们都没有英英词典，而且作者之前习

惯使用英汉词典,因此当作者发现是一本英英词典时很惊讶(surprised)。worried担

忧的;sad伤心的;nervous不安的。

2.A根据后面的“stillcouldnotfullyunderstandthemeanings”可知,作者发现英英

词典一开始很难(difficult)使用。interesting有趣的;important重要的;practical实用

的。

3.B根据空后的"words"和"butstillcouldnotfullyunderstandthemeanings”可知，

作者会在这本词典中查询(lookup)单词。setup建立;pickup捡起;takeup占据。

4.B根据空前“wasusedto”可知，作者已经习惯了熟悉的(familiar)英汉双语词典。

new新的;informed有见识的;confusing令人费解的。

5.A根据常识可知，英汉双语词典是用英语和汉语来解释(explained)单词的。

express表达;describe描述;create仓”造。

6.C根据前文“myaunt,...,gavemeanewEnglishdictionaryandadvisedmetouse

it”可知，是姑姑给作者用英英词典的建议(advice)。appreciation欣赏;courage勇

气;power力量。

7.B根据后文中“Usingamonolingualdictionaryhashelpedmeinanother

importantway.”可知，作者发现单语词典在学习外语方面更好(better)。morenatural

更自然的;moreconvenient更方便的;easier更容易的。

8.C根据“thereisactuallyoftennoperfectequivalent(对应词)”可知,正如作者发现

(foundout)的那样，汉语与英语之间没有非常对等的单词。checkout调查;breakout

爆发;turnout结果为。

9.A根据前文“Iwould3wordsinthedictionarybutstillcouldnotfully

understandthemeanings.”可知,汉语和英语中的单词(words)通常不会完美对等。

name名字;idea主意;character特性。

10.B根据空后“aChinese'equivalenfcannevergiveyouthe11meaningof

thewordinEnglish”可知，作者的姑姑宣称(declared)汉语中的对等词并不能给出准

确的英文含义。hope希望;complain抱怨;dream梦想。

11.A根据前文“thereisactuallyoftennoperfectequivalent(对应词)betweentwo_

9_intwolanguages”可知，通常，汉语中的对等词并不能给出准确的(exact)英文含

义。basic基本的;translatable可译的;expected预期的。

12.A根据前文“sheinsistedthatIreadthedefinition(定义)ofawordina

monolingualdictionary”可知，作者的姑姑坚持让作者在单语词典中读单词的定义，

可推断出,这样能对单词的意思有更好的理解(understanding)。practice实

践;expression表达;consideration考虑。

13.C根据前文“Ireallywonderedwhymyauntgavemesuch6tomake

thingssodifficultforme.”可知，刚开始作者不明白姑姑这么做的原因，现在渐渐明

白了姑姑的用意(meant)。want想要;prefer更喜欢;suffer遭受。

14.D根据“around2,000”可知，此词典用了有限(limited)数量的单词来进行释义。

extra额外的;average平均的;total完全的。

15.A根据常识和空后句"Becauseofthis,Icanexpressmyselfmoreeasilyin

English.”可知，作者读这些定义时，反复(repeatedly)接触到基本的词汇，并学习如何

用它们来解释物体和思想。nearly几乎;immediately立刻;anxiously焦虑地。

III.

1.sadness考查名词。分析句子结构可知,or连接两个并列成分作shows的宾语,

根据or前面的名词surprise可知,本空应用名词sadness0

应用一般现在时,且主语Bob为第三人称单数，故本空应用iso

3.it考查代词。本空在句中作宾语，故应用代词it指代上文中的aChristmas

present®

4.really考查副词。本空修饰动词believe,故应用副词。

5.togive考查非谓语动词。forgettodosth.意为“忘记去做某事”，故本空应用不定

式作宾语。句意:让我们以特德为例，他是另一个总是忘记送圣诞礼物的人。

6.receiving考查非谓语动词。根据空前介词at可知,本空应用动名词形式作介词

at的宾语。

7.remembered考查时态。根据时间状语thatday及上句中的动词gave可知，本空

应用一般过去时。

8.1n考查介词。infact
