Are you familiar with the different kinds of dictionariesand the services that they offer? There are three basic types of dictionary. They are the compact, historical and general purpose dictionary. The compact dictionary is, naturally, a small pocket sized variety that is somewhat limited in the range of its content. The historical dictionary, on the other hand, is an exhaustive(详尽的) volume that specializes in the history of words. The general purpose dictionary lies somewhere between these two extremes. This is the most common version that people would have in their home and is the best for everyday use. The functions of the general purpose dictionary are to provide definitions, proper pronunciation, correct spelling and derivations as well as any restrictive labels attached to a word. Lets consider these individually. Definitions: Many words have more than one meaning. By using a dictionary you can determine which meaning applies to the sentence you are considering. Some dictionaries help you out further by giving sample phrases of correct word usages. Pronunciation: Pronunciation of a particular word may vary from region to region, so a dictionary will give the generally accepted pronunciation. Spelling: In the English language, words are often spelt quite differently to how they sound. Thank goodness for the spelling function of your dictionary. Derivations: The study of word origin is a feature of your dictionary. This can bring words to life, and expand your knowledge base in a fascinating way. Restrictive Labels: If a word is marked “colloquial” or “slang” it shouldnt be used in formal settings. These labels, then, signal caution in their use. Becoming more familiar with, and regularly consulting, your dictionary will open up the English language to you. As a result, your speech will be richer and your written communications more fluent. What a fine reward for a little time invested in your dictionary.36. The “colloquial” or “slang” labels remind you that the words _. A. may be borrowed from other languages B. have strange pronunciations C. are used in an informal wayD. have some special meanings 37. You may get disappointed if you want to find _ in a general purpose dictionary. A. the origin of a new wordB. the spelling of a word C. examples of word usages D. the rules of grammar 38. Which function of the general purpose dictionary is similar to the main character of a historical dictionary? A. Pronunciation.B. Restrictive Labels. C. Spelling. D. Derivations. 39. It can be inferred from the text that a compact dictionary is designed for _. A. teachers B. language learners C. beginners D. dictionary collectors 40. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that _. A. its worthwhile to spend some time consulting the dictionary B. the more you use a dictionary, the more knowledge you will get C. a proper dictionary is your good teacherD. you will make fortune if you spend enough money on dictionary BDespite his death at the age of 25, Keats is one of the greatest English poets and a key figure in the Romantic Movement. He has become the epitome(化身) of the young, beautiful, doomed poet. John Keats was born on 31 October 1795 in London. His father worked at a horse stable (马棚), but died in 1804. His mother re-married, but died of a severe disease in 1810. Keats was educated at a school in Enfield. When he left at 16, he was apprenticed to a surgeon. He wrote his first poems in 1814. In 1816, he abandoned medicine to concentrate on poetry. His first volume of poetry was published the following year.In 1818, Keats nursed his brother Tom through the final stages of tuberculosis(肺结核), the disease that had killed their mother. Tom died in December and Keats moved to his friend Charles Browns house in Hampstead. There he met and fell deeply in love with a neighbor, the 18-year old Fanny Brawne. This was the beginning of Keats most creative period. He wrote, among others, The Eve of St Agnes, La Belle Dame Sans Merci, Ode to a Nightingale and To Autumn. The group of five odes(颂诗), which include Ode to a Nightingale, are ranked among the greatest short poems in the English language.From September 1819, Keats produced little more poetry. His financial difficulties were now severe. He became engaged to Fanny Brawne, but with no money there was little possibility of their marrying.Early in 1820, Keats began to display symptoms of tuberculosis. His second volume of poetry was published in July, but he was by now very ill. In September, Keats and his friend Joseph Severn left for the warmer weather of Italy, in the hope that this would improve Keats health. When they reached Rome, Keats was confined to bed. Severn took care of him devotedly, but Keats died in Rome on 23 February 1821. He was buried in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome.41.

Keats could not get married due to his bad health CWASHINGTON From the towering Great Dane to the feisty little Chihuahua, all dogs are brothers under the skin. Now, researchers have uncovered a clue to why the animals wearing that skin vary so much in size.Dogs have the largest variation in body size of any land animal, so researchers led by Elaine A. Ostrander of the National Human Genome Research Institute decided to look into the reasons why.Their finding of a section of genes that controls small size in dogs is reported in Fridays issue of the journal Science.Learning how growth is controlled can improve the understanding of cancer and other diseases caused by growth gone awry, Ostrander explained in a telephone interview.And the research adds to the basic study of variations, perhaps improving knowledge of the differences between people, she added.K. Gordon Lark of the University of Utah, a co-author of the report, pointed out that dogs have 200 to 300 diseases in common with people, including high blood pressure, autoimmune diseases and cancer.“They also share our environment, so if there is an environmental influence that can trigger disease, dogs will be going through the same process,” he said in a telephone interview.“So, if we can solve this in dogs, thats a fantastic jump ahead,” Lark said.Keith E. Murphy, principal investigator at the Canine Genetics Laboratory of Texas A&M University, called the research “an incredible piece of work.”It was suspected that there might be a few major genes controlling significant differences in body type, said Murphy.46.

Murphy call the research “an incredible piece of work.”?A. Dogs are the best friends of human kind.B. Dogs are the main pets human kind keep. C. Dogs are similar in the genes to human kind.D. Dogs can be used as a clue to treat human kind.49. What would dogs in the same area do if people in a certain area are infected with the bird flu?A. They would remain healthy as before.B. They would be infected with another kind of disease.C. Its hard to say for they are different from human kind.D. Its most likely that they are seized with the bird flu. 50. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Like men, many dogs also suffer from high blood pressure. B. Men and dogs share the same environment.C. Man and dogs are close relatives because man also has variations in body size. D. Like dogs, many diseases of human are related to variations of body size. DAs L. P.
