When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was 26 to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual dictionary. 27 it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one 28, to be honest, I found it extremely 29 to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and 30 not fully understand the meaning, I was used to the 31 bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are 32 both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt 33 to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I 34 that monolingual dictionaries are 35 in learning a foreign language

As I found out, there is 36 often NO perfect equivalence(对应)between two 37 in two languages. My aunt even goes so far as to 38 that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the 39 meaning of a word in English! 40, she insisted that I read the definition(定义) of a word in a monolingual dictionary 41 I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. 42, 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) 43 number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 44 exposed to（接触）the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 45 this, I can express myself more easily in English.

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

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

28. A. or B. so C. but D. and

29. A. interesting B. difficult C. ambiguous D. practical

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

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

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

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

34. A. imagine B. understand C. predict D. recommend

35. A. better B. natural C. easier D. convenient

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

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

38. A. hope B. tell C. doubt D. declare

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

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

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

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

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

44. A. nearly B. repeatedly C. immediately D. anxiously

第二部分阅读理解

第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项涂黑。 A

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.

The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.

Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of areas for burying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.

But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.

There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much
