    　　This dictionary tells you about English words and how to use them in reading, writing and speaking English．It not only gives the meaning of words, it can also help you with spelling, word building, grammar and pronunciation．

    　　To use your dictionary correctly, you need to understand how the dictionary works．At the front of the book, you will find some exercises to help you make the most use of your dictionary．

    　　If you look up the word “colour”, you will find two spellings for this word．“Colour” is used in British English, while “color” is used in American English．When such a thing happens, the dictionary shows it with the word “BrE” for British English and “AmE” for American English．

    　　The dictionary also helps you pronounce words correctly．It uses a special alphabet(特殊字母表)to show pronunciation．If you turn to the inside back face, you will see all the phonetic letters(音标)with some words to show you how they are pronounced．Just have a look this page when you’re not sure how to say a word．

    　　The most important reason for using a dictionary is to find out the meaning of a word－its DEFINITION．

    　　In this dictionary, the definitions have been written using only 2000 words．This means that the definitions of even the most difficult words are simply explained(简单解释)and easy to understand．

    　　When a word has more than one meaning, read all the meanings until you find the one that correctly tells the use of the word you are looking for．

    　　Most of the words in this dictionary can be used by people in all parts of the world．

    D．

    We don’t know

    (7)

    The dictionary explains ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    some of the difficult words

    B．

    all the words in a simple way

    C．

    all the easy words

    D．

    the words of two meanings

    答案：1．A;2．D;3．C;4．C;5．C;6．D;7．B;
    解析：

    (1)

    通过短文第一段的第一个句子，几乎不费力气就能选出正确答案．

    (2)

    此题需要仔细推敲第二段文字，通过理解段意(如果熟悉英文词典或懂得一些英文词典的使用常识则可以直接进行选择)和推敲四个选项的词语意思而确定．All和One都属于“走极端”的选项，不能入选；Few本义是“几乎没有”，不符合文意，只有D项正确．

    (3)

    答案在第三段．文中“while ‘color’ is used in American English．”已给出明确答案．

    (4)

    通过文中“We use a special alphabet(特殊字母表)to show pronunciation．”一句判断．关键词是“pronunciation(发音)”，清楚这个词的意思，我们无疑会选择C．

    (5)

    应重点参考5－6段．实际上，第五段中已有“to find out the meaning of a word－its DEFINITION．”．“meaning of a word”中没有生词，那么，选择对应的汉语“词义”岂不易如反掌！

    (6)

    要读完全文后，才能确认．因为文中提到的数字只有一个“2000”，但它决不是词典的收词数，而是用来“简单解释”词义的用词数．文中并没有提及词典的“收词量”，因此，答案应该是D．

    (7)

    　　答案就在“This means that the definitions of even the most difficult words are simply explained(简单解释)and easy to understand．”一句中．选B最为恰当．

    　　这篇短文可能是一本英文词典的“序言”，介绍了这本词典的用途和使用方法．另外，该文中还着重提到了American English和British English在拼写上存在的差异．
