听力原文： Today's English learner has a wide choice d dictionaries in which to choose from. There are dictionaries with American English, with British English, with idioms or slang, and even with pictures. The most popular dictionary I have seen is the talking electronic dictionaries. All you have to do is to type in a word in your language and then you can see it and hear it in English. That's great, right？ Well, I think it's great, too... but only sometimes. Bilingual electronic dictionaries are fast and easy. They can be great when you are traveling and need information quickly. But I am against electronic dictionaries and even bilingual book dictionaries in many cases. Here is my explanation.

When you reach an intermediate level of English, you know enough of the language to ask the meaning of certain things while using English. Translating between languages in your head takes time. You should be translating as little as possible and you should be thinking in English as much as possible. I strongly recommend that intermediate and advanced students use an English-English dictionary made especially for your understanding rather than your translating. For example, Longman has a good dictionary for students. Other companies do, too.

I also feel that book dictionaries are better for studying titan electronic dictionaries. It is true that the book dictionaries take longer to use. But, for some reason, the information you look up seems to stay in your head longer. It may be because you were forced to spell the word in your head and therefore "see it" more clearly in your mind. 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 can help you in such a ease. Just remember to try to stay in English as much as possible, beaming language involves more understanding than translating.

(26)

A．Bilingual (双语的) electronic dictionaries.

B．Bilingual book dictionaries.

C．Dictionaries with pictures.

D．Dictionaries with idioms or slang.

听力原文：A dictionary lists the words of a language, usually arranged in alphabetical orde

听力原文： A dictionary lists the words of a language, usually arranged in alphabetical order, but sometimes also by topic, with their meanings or their equivalents.

The first important contribution to lexicography in the United States was The American Spelling Book, issued by educator and lexicographer Noah Webster. Although not a true dictionary, The American Spelling Book, because of its American origin and its simplification of English, became a household reference wordbook throughout the United States. Its success led Webster to compile A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language. He then concentrated on his major contribution to lexicography, An American Dictionary of the English Language, begun in 1807 and published in 1828. This ambitious work included 12,000 more words and 40,000 more definitions than any previous dictionary of the English language. Despite its emphasis on typically American usage, distinguished from British usage, this work was never popular.

Webster's International Dictionary appeared in 1890; Webster's New International Dictionary appeared in 1909. The second edition of Webster's New International Dictionary, published in 1934, remains impressive today, with 600,000 entries. Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language was made available to the public in 1961, which included many slang words and technical terms, end its pronunciation schemes indicate regional speech patterns. Many critics denounced it for what they considered its failure to uphold traditional standards, and many defended it energetically as a comprehensive and accurate depiction of its material.

(26)

A．The American Spelling Book.

B．Compendious Dictionary of the English Language.

C．An American Dictionary of the English Language.

D．Webster's International Dictionary.

听力原文： Today, we'll look at another problem that is troubling the British society. It seems that young people in Britain today are losing the ability to communicate clearly and accurately in standard English, and the British government is so concerned that it bas set up a committee to "promote the use of better English".

However, do Britain's young people really have a problem in expressing themselves clearly？ A study published in October suggests that there is real cause for concern; it showed that among the UK's 15-year-olds, only 22 percent of boys and 28 percent of girls feel comfortable using standard English in formal situations such as at school and in interviews. Some people think that British pupils leaving school are not as good at using languages as pupils from other countries, partly because, they don't spend very much time talking in class. There is some reason for being concerned about the levels of fluency and willingness to speak in public, even if "public "just means in front of the rest of the class.

The committee is made up of a range of people from the world of business, education, sport, the arts and the media. It will be chaired by the broadcaster, Trevor McDonald. He is a widely respected and popular figure. Originally from a small village in Trinidad in the West Indias, Trevor McDonald learned perfect English by reading the Oxford Dictionary every day and listening to the BBC World Service. The Government hopes that by his example Trevor McConald will be able to help persuade children to make an effort to speak good English.

(33)

A．Reading and writing in English.

B．Talking freely in public.

C．Smoothly and clearly expressing themselves in English.

D．Successfully handling job interviews.

听力原文： Glasgow's history stretches back almost two thousand years and has been rich and varied. Originally a small salmon-fishing village at a crossing point on the River Clyde, Glasgow has been shaped by Battles, World Wide Trade and Heavy Industry to become a truly International City.

Founded by a Christian missionary (St Mungo), Glasgow became a major religious centre. Mungo's original church was destroyed by the wars which swept the country in the years after his death. Today's Cathedral dates from the 12th Century and has been added to in the years which followed. Provand's Lordship, the oldest house in Glasgow was built over 500 years ago for the Lord of Provan, an official of the Cathedral. The house still welcomes visitors today to view its proud history. In 1451 Glasgow became a University City. Glasgow University was originally built in the High Street area of the city, but was moved to its present site in Glasgow's West end in 1870. Glasgow has also been the site of many battles. Bishop's Castle once stood on the site now occupied by Glasgow's Royal Infirmary. Here, in 1300, William Wallace (of "Braveheart" fame) with 300 men defeated an army of 1000 English Knights who had taken possession of the castle under the English Bishop of Durham. Two centuries later the castle was again the scene of battle when two opposing forces fought for control of the Crown of Scotland then in the possession of the baby, Mary Queen of Scots. Due to its location on the west of the country, Glasgow was well positioned to send shipping to the West Indies and America. By the 18th century many merchants had acquired great wealth by importing sugar, rum and tobacco. Thus were born the Tobacco Lords who built fabulous mansions in the city.

(36)

A．An official of the Cathedral.

B．A Christian missionary.

C．Lord of Provan.

D．Some English knights.

听力原文：We all find that learning English takes effort and dedication. There are times wh

听力原文： We all find that learning English takes effort and dedication. There are times when you seem to hit a plateau in learning. A plateau here refers to a flat spot, during which you don't feel any advancement taking place. Educational research reveals this is normal. But don't give up. Keep on studying and practicing, and you will soon feel as if you are progressing once again. Just tell yourself that it's a temporary condition. Meanwhile, study faithfully, do your best, and the rewards will be worth the struggle.

Why do we learn English？ Most people say that English now becomes an international language, and it is a very useful tool, a means to achieve something else. But specifically, what is the use of a foreign language？ We may use it to communicate freely with a native speaker. We may use it to get a job with a decent pay. We may use it to help negotiate a business contract with a foreign company. In any case, when you hurry through the last lesson of the language course, you'll have your completion certificate hanging on your wall. A certificate may mean nothing in comparison with your accomplishment. What is really significant is that you' have learnt to use that language to your advantage and benefit. A certificate may get stained, lost or be destroyed in a fire, but what's in your memory will go with you wherever you go. A language skill is worth money in today's international business world. So study well and cash in on success !

(35)

A．A temporary condition where you don't feel any progress in learning.

B．A flat and smooth spot in your study where you make fewer mistakes.

C．A long-term struggle which does not bring you any tangible rewards.

D．An educational research on language learning that is unusual and advanced.
