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 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 meaning. I was used to the 26 bilingual dictionaries(双语词典), 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 33 as to declare (宣称) 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 world 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 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.

21. A. worried B. sad C. surprised D. nervous

22. A. Because B. Although C. Unless D. If

23. A. But B. So C. Or D. And

24. A. difficult B. interesting C. hardly D. useful

25. A. thus B. even C. still D. again

26. A. new B. familiar C. earlier D. ordinary

27. A. explained B. expressed C. described D. created

28. A. offered B. agreed C. decided D. happened

29. A. imagine B. knew C. predict D. understand

30. A. natural B. better C. easier D. comfortable

31. A. at best B. in fact C. at times D. in case

32. A. words B. names C. ideas D. characters

33. A. so good B. so far C. so well D. so enough

34. A. exact B. basic C. translated D. expected

35. A. Rather B. However C. Therefore D. Instead

36. A. when B. before C. until D. while

37. A. Largely B. Generally C. Gradually D. Probably

38. A. extra B. average C. total D. limited

39. A. repeatedly B. nearly C. again D. important

40. A. Except B. Because C. Besides D. Because of

第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A

An Australian 3-year-old boy was described as a hero after saving his mum from an almost certain death by calling emergency services right after she fell in a faint(昏倒) because of an epileptic attack(癫痫发作).

Aiden McDonald amazed the doctors who arrived at Jeanine McDonald?s house 10 minutes after

Aiden called 000. The boy was very calm and spoke to the doctors as his mother got into an unconscious state.

Sasha Lewis took the strange call and sent out an ambulance immediately. Aiden answered questions during the 19-minute-call that made it clear it was a serious matter.

Lewis said: “He sounded worried and was telling me things like …Mummy is not awake?, so I got an idea that it was a serious matter.”

This is part of the “conversation” they had:

“Can I talk to Mummy, please?”

“Mummy?s not well.”

“How old are you, sweetheart?”

“I got a clock.”

“Can I talk to Mummy?”

“I can?t get Mummy.”

“Where is she?”

“On the floor. Mummy?s had a fit.”

“Do you live in Kallangur?”

“We?ve got milk in the fridge and, um, (pause) I can?t find the ambulance (crying), Mummy, Mum…Mum…Mum…”

Mrs McDonald, who was making a cup of tea when she fainted, was taken to hospital and allowed to leave the same night. “After hearing what he did I thought, no, that can?t be true,”Jeanine McDonald said. “But I?m so proud.”

41. Why did Sasha Lewis talk with Aiden on the phone so long?

A. She tried to calm him down.

B. She tried to get as much information as possible.

C. Aiden was too slow in speaking on the phone.

D. Aiden was too nervous to describe what was happening.

42. Jeanine McDonald received medical help about ______ after she suddenly fainted.

A. 10 minutes.

B. 20 minutes.

C. 30 minutes.

D. 1 hour.

43. The underlined part “had a fit” probably means ______.

A. fallen asleep

B. had a fever

C. done some cleaning

D. made a cup of tea

44. The most useful lesson that parents learn from the story is that ______.

A. it?s important to teach children to respond (反应) properly in serious situations

C. they should build a good parent-child relationship

B

Rock and pop music are becoming more and more similar, but there are still some important differences. Most pop singers make music their career. They use music to become rich and famous, and they sing songs that will be liked by everybody. Rock singers, on the other hand, make music

their life. They play music to rich their inner world. They do not think how much money they can make from a song; instead, they sing for their emotions and live for music.

Pop songs and rock songs are written in different ways. A pop song is written in a “factory”, where one person writes the words, someone else the music, and other musicians record it. The singer often knows little about the ideas or feelings behind the song. The process(过程) of making of rock music, however, is totally different. The singers and musicians are all able to write music and work together with a band. When one of them has a strong feeling, he or she expresses(表达) it with music and the others help build the song.

Because of the different ways of thinking and writing songs, rock and pop songs also tell different stories. Most pop songs tell simple stories about love and are written to amuse people. They are popular for a short time, but will soon be forgotten. Rock music, on the other hand, expresses true feelings about society, friendship and even war. Some rock songs are also about love, but the feelings they express are deeper. For example, love in a pop song is either good or bad, but in a rock song it can be both good and bad at the same time. Pop music makes people feel easy and forget about the real world; rock music makes people think about the world and how to make their life better.

45. The purpose of the passage is to ______.

A. make readers think about the two types of music

B. encourage readers to become interested in the two types of music

C. tell the similarities and differences of pop and rock music

D. explain the differences between pop and rock music

46. We can tell from the passage that ______.

A. more people like pop music

B. pop singers are interested in creating music and writing words

C. rock singers don?t play music to make a living

D. there will be no difference between rock and pop music

47. According to the passage, pop singers ______.

A. sing for their emotions and their inner world

B. needn?t know the background of the song

C. have to write the words themselves

D. have strong feelings for the music they sing to

48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The story in a pop song is difficult to understand.

B. Love is a common topic in pop and rock songs.

C. Listening to rock songs can make people healthier.

D. Rock songs can make people think less about the world.

The Leshan Giant Buddha is a statue of Maitreya in a sitting posture. The Buddha lies in the east of Leshan City, Sichuan Province. The statue is the most famous scenic spot in Leshan City. In December, 1996, the Buddha was included by UNESCO on the list of the World Heritage sites. The statue was begun in the year 713 in the Tang Dynasty, and finished in the year 803. As the biggest

carved stone Buddha in the world, Leshan Giant Buddha appears in the poetry, song and story.

The Buddha is 71 meters high, and has 3-meter-long fingers. The 8-meter-long instep (脚背) is big enough for one hundred people to sit on and each shoulder is 28 meters wide and large enough to be a basketball playground.

The charm(魅力) of the Buddha lies not only in its size but also in its architectural artistry. There are 1,021 buns(发髻) in the Buddha?s curly hair. Another architectural highlight is the drainage system(排水系统). This system is made up of some hidden gutters and channels, distributed on the head and arms, behind the ears and in the clothes. This system, which helps displace(转移) rainwater and keep the inner part dry, plays an important part in the protection of the Buddha. The large pair of ears, each 7 meters long, is made of wood and is decorated with mud on the surface.

Having such a long history and such worldwide fame, the rebuilding of the Buddha has received much attention both at home and abroad. The Buddha was nearly destroyed by the erosion(腐蚀) of wind and rain before 1963 when the government began the repair work. At present, the maintenance work is in progress under the instruction of experts from UNESCO.

53. How many years did the statue take to carve?

A. No more than 70 years.

B. Less than 11 years.

C. As long as 80 years.

D. At least 90 years.

54. Which of the following shows the general charm of the Buddha?

A. Its size and architectural artistry (1,021 buns and 7-meter-long mud ears).

C. Its size and architectural artistry (1,021 buns and 7-meter-long wooden ears and drainage system).

D. Its size and drainage system distributed on the head and arms, behind the ears and in the clothes.

55. Which of the following does not belong to the same group in meaning according to Paragraph 4?

A. Repair work.

C. Rebuilding.

D. Instruction.
