2013高考英语南京市一模(完形填空)强化训练(2)及答案
B
Today's English learner has a wide choice of dictionaries. There are __21__ with American English, with British English, with idioms or slang, and __22__ with pictures. One of the most __23__ dictionaries I have seen among many students is the __24__ electronic dictionary. All you have to do is to __25__ a word in your language and you can see it and __26__ it in English. That's great, right? Well, I think it's great, too... but only sometimes.
Bilingual electronic dictionaries are fast and __27__. They can be great __28__ you are traveling and need information quickly. __29__ I am against electronic dictionaries and even bilingual __30__ dictionaries in many cases. Let me explain.
When you reach an intermediate (中等程度的) level of English, you know __31__ of the language to ask the meaning of certain things while using English. Translating between languages in your head __32__ time. You should be translating as little as possible and __33__ in English as much as possible. I strongly recommend that intermediate and advanced students should __34__ an English-English dictionary that is made __35__ for your understanding. For example, Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press has good dictionaries for students and __36__ publishing houses do, too.
I also feel that paper dictionaries are better for studying than electronic dictionaries. True, they take longer to use. But, for some reason, the information you __37__ seems to stay in your head longer. It may be __38__ you are forced to spell the word in your head and therefore “see it” more clearly in your __39__.
So what do you do if you have checked an English-English dictionary and still don't understand something? Go to your bilingual dictionary. It is useful sometimes. Just remember to try to __40__ in English as much as possible.
