I was 36to 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
17、my classmates had one. 38 , to be honest, I found it extremely 39touse at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and 40not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the41bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are 42 both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt 43 to make
18、 things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I44that monolingual dictionaries are45 in learning a foreign language.As I found out, there is, 46, often no perfect equivalence(对应)between two47 in two languages. My aunt even goes so far as to 48 that a Chinese
19、 “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 word in a monolingual dictionary 51I 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
20、helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses only 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

24、题2分，满分40分）A.In 1955, a man named Raymond Kroc entered a partnership with two brothers named McDonald. They opened a popular restaurant in California which sold food that was easy to prepare and serve quickly. Hamburgers, French fries, and cold drinks were the main food there. Kroc opened similar eat
25、ing places under the same name, “McDonalds”, and they were an instant success. He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful “fast-food” in America and round the world.Why was his idea successful? Probably the most important reason was that his timing was righ
26、t. In the 1950s, most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. In the 1960s, many women returned to the workplace. This meant that they had less time or energy to prepare meals, so they spent more on “ TV dinners ” and fast-food restaurants. Single parents also have l
27、ittle time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth. Fast-food is not part of the diet of all Americans. Another trend of the 1960s, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement influenced many people
28、to avoid food that was packaged or processed(处理). This preference for natural food continued to this day.From the success of Raymond Krocs fast-food business, we can say that social economic trends influence where and what we eat.56.

31、depend on fast foodB. single parents have little time to spend in the kitchenC. many women returned to the workplace in the 1960sD. Kroc chose the “Mc Donald” brothers as his partners59.

Americans eat either fast food or natural food B.Have you ever wondered?1.Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?It can take five hours to go west-east from New York(NY) to London but
33、 seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY. The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon known as the jet(喷射) stream. The jet stream is a very high altitude wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. The planes moving at a constant air speed thus go
34、faster in the west-east direction when the air moving with the wind than in the opposite direction.2.
