When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was    36    to 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 my classmates had one.    38    , to be honest, I found it extremely    39    to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and    40    

not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the    41   bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are    42    both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt    43    to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I    44    that monolingual dictionaries are    45    in learning a foreign language.

As I found out, there is,    46   , often no perfect equivalence(对应)between two    47   in two languages. My aunt even goes so far as to    48   that a Chinese “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    51    I 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 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.

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

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

A. But  B. So      C. Or            D. Then

A. difficult B. interesting  C. helpful       D. practical

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

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

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

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

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

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

A. at least B. in fact C. at times      D. in case

The day before the deadline for this article,I had no clue what I was going to write about. I took my problem to the editor-in-chief, and.he said to me:“Don’t worry; you’re creative. ”

I’m not sure where the editor-in-chief reached the conclusion that I was “creative”. Maybe it was through the poems I wrote. Personally, I simply enjoy writing because it’s fun. There’s also the fact that I can’t draw or do anything else creatively, I’m equally sure that there are people in the boat on the other side who can make things look excellent, but can’t write a poem.

At this point you probably want to ask me what poetry and art have to do with engineering.  For one, it makes you a more rounded person, making you a better engineer. More importantly, as an engineer, you will be faced with many problems every day. There are some that can be solved by consulting a textbook, but more often than not, you will need that thing in your brain to put together things in a completely original combination to solve the problem at hand.

Think of the wonderful things that creative engineers have done. Civil engineers have made the road more long-lasting so we don’t have to close them for repairs as often. Coming up with a new innovation (创新) is similar to writing a good poem. It’s not some-thing you plan to do. The critical moment comes unexpectedly in the middle of nowhere. You don’t think about what you’re doing, you simply do. After some mad struggling you take a look at the end product and say to yourself, “This is a masterpiece . ” This is perhaps the greatest personal satisfaction one can experience.

So all you engineers out there get out and do something creative. I don’t care if it’s writing a poem or a computer program, just be natural and do something creative.

This passage mainly deals with         .

A. the creativity of engineers                             B.the power of editor-in-chief

C. engineering in general                                  D. a way of thinking

In the author’s opinion, writing poems can         .

A.show one is creative                                      B. make him happy

C. bring him in lots of money                                   D. have an effect on one’s mental health

According to the author, art can help an engineer to         .

A.find the solutions to problems                        B. learn to write poetry

C. be courageous in face of challenges                D. get along well with others

Coming up with a new innovation is similar to writing a good poem in that both are       .

A. logically developed                                      B. strictly planned

C.experience- based                                          D. naturally creative

The greatest personal satisfaction of an engineer comes from       .

A.planning his work successfully                       B. building things quickly

C. finishing his work innovatively                      D.writing good poems naturally
