When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was 21 to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual( 单语的) dictionary. 22 it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one. 23 , to be honest, I found it extremely 24 to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and 25 not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the 26 bilingual(双语的) dictionaries, in which the words are 27 both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt 28 to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I 29 that monolingual dictionaries are 30 in learning a foreign language.
As I found out, there is, 31 , often no perfect equivalence(对应)between two 32 in two languages. My aunt even goes so far as to 33 that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the 34 meaning of a word in English! 35 , she insisted that I read the definition(定义)of a word in a monolingual dictionary 36 I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. 37 , I have come to see what she meant.
Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses only a(n) 38 number of words, around 2,000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 39 exposed to(接触)the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 40 this, I can express myself more easily in English.

31. A. at times B. in case C. at least D. in fact
32. A. ideas B. characters C. words D. names

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A 、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A.
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 to avoid food that was packaged or processed(处理). This preference for natural food continued to this day.
From the success of Raymond Kroc’s fast-food business, we can say that social economic trends influence where and what we eat.

Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.
45. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _______.
A. to get the conversation going smoothly
B. for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others

A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”
The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
“All right then,” I said. “Okey, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”
A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.
