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。当看到英英词典时，他感到“吃惊”。2．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。A项because引导原因状语从句；unless和if引导条件状语从句。3．A 最初作者不习惯用英英词典，所以感觉用起来“很难”。interesting是“有趣的”之意，根据下文notfullyunderstandthemeaning可知不可能选B；ambiguous不明确的；practical实用的，这两个词也不符合语境。4．B beusedto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“熟悉的”。5．A 此句是一个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。6．C “我”真想知道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。7．D 作者过去不理解，经过一段时间后“明白了”。imagine想象；recommend推荐；predict预测。8．B 此句中monolingualdictionaries和bilingualdictionaries比较，A和D项没用比较级，better强调“更好，更实用”，而easier则为“更容易的”，故选B。9．A 两种语言中的两个词不能完全对应。10．B “我”姑妈甚至还声称汉语词汇绝不能给出一个英语单词的确切意思。11．A 前面的aChinese“equivalent”和the…meaningofawordinEnglish对应，表明还是对应不准确的问题，所以用exact。12．C 该句的谓语havecometosee表示“变化过程”，所以用gradually表示“渐渐地”。13．D 从后面的around2，000可知，词典中用于解释词义的词限制在2000左右。14．A 在有限的范围内阅读释义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”。15．D 后面主句部分IcanexpressmyselfmoreeasilyinEnglish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。Ⅱ.A本文主要介绍了在VSA国际艺术节上Taylor和Amanda等一些残疾孩子展示了她们的创造能力。16．D 推理判断题。由第五段Amanda母亲所说的话Peoplestartedlookingatherdifferently…Theystoppedlookingatherasagirlwhowasstrugglingandstartedlookingatherasanartist.It'schangedherwholelife.可推断出她的母亲看到别人对女儿的看法的改变，应该会高兴的，故选D项。17．C 细节理解题。由倒数第二段最后一句Nowshe'smorefocusedonschool…可知在发现绘画的才能后，她能够更集中精力学习，学习也一定有提高，故选C项。18．A 主旨大意题。纵观全文，本文主要介绍了两位有残疾的孩子在国际艺术节上展示了她们的创造力，故选A项。B项在文中找不到支持的信息；C项不具体，本文主要是针对残疾孩子的表现，而不是艺术节；D项为文中细节。6\n19．C 推理判断题。由第一段最后一句HertwinsisterSydneyparticipatesinsports…可知她的双胞胎姐妹能正常参加体育运动，身体应该是健康的，故选C项。A、D两项与文中信息不符，B项为文中细节，不为推断。20．C 推理判断题。由本文最后一句YoucanseemoreofAmanda'sartworkatamandalamunyon.com.可推出本文应该来自网络。B21．B 推理判断题。最后一段中的NewYork应该指的是NewYorkCity，而不应该是TheNewYorkTimes，故A项不对。在第一个话题中，专家们将会谈论饮食在个人、全球健康中的作用和食物方面的政治观点，因而C项错误。在第二个话题中，sportswritersareanythingbutaudience说明sportswriters并不是观众，故D项不正确。在第三个话题中，从Howmuchofaneffectdoesthebookreviewhaveonbooksales？可推知书评对书的销售应该有影响。22．C 细节理解题。由文章的第三个活动介绍可知，TheArtoftheReview是由SamTanenhaus所主持的。23．B 推理判断题。文章所列四个活动的具体时间都是持续45分钟。选项A、C与文章事实不符，而选项D则无从判断。24．B 细节理解题。四个活动中只有NewYorkWriters，NewYorkStories是在下午举行的。25．C 推理判断题。因为是关于体育写作的，所以要参加第二个活动。6
