Question

1．Not all print dictionaries are the same，as you will notice when you select one．To make a wise selection，you should know how to distinguish among three kinds of print dictionaries：pocket，desk，and unabridged．You should also know the copyright date of your dictionary，and check is special features．
A pocket dictionary is small．Generally，it contains no more than 75000entries，making it hardly to carry to class and efficient to use．However，a pocket dictionary doesn't contain enough entries to be adequate for college reference homework．In addition，the information about each word in a pocket dictionary is generally limited．A desk dictionary is medium sized，generally containing over 100，000entries as well as extra features．For college work，you should own a current desk dictionary．An unabridged dictionary is a complete dictionary．Abridged dictionaries，such as pocket and desk dictionaries，are shortened．Because unabridged dictionaries contain nearly all English words，they are large and heavy．They are often used by schools and libraries．
If the copyright date of your current dictionary shows that it was published five or more years ago，consider investing in a more recent edition．English is a dynamic language that admits new words and recognizes changes in meaning，spelling，and usage of familiar words．This is reflected in an up-to-date dictionary．
In selecting a dictionary，check the features it offers besides vocabulary definitions．Many editions contain signs，symbols and foreign words．Some also contain CD-ROMs and access to special online features．

Answer 1

分析 這是一篇說(shuō)明文．介紹了各種詞典的特點(diǎn)，告訴我們?nèi)绾握�確地選擇詞典．

解答 71．答案：select．根據(jù)第一段的第一句話："Not all print dictionaries are the same，as you will notice when you select one．"可以得出提示．
72．答案：inadequate．根據(jù)第二段的第三句話："However，a pocket dictionary doesn't contain enough entries to be adequate for college reference homework．"可知作者認(rèn)為口袋詞典不能用來(lái)作為寫家庭作業(yè)的參考． 
73．答案：word information．根據(jù)第二段的第四句話："In addition，the information about each word in a pocket dictionary is generally limited．"可知．   
74．答案：desk dictionary．根據(jù)第二段的第五句話前半句："A desk dictionary is medium sized，"可知作者寫完pocket dictionary接著寫第二種詞典desk dictionary．
75．答案：extra features．根據(jù)第二段的第五句話后半句："generally containing over 100，000entries as well as extra features．"可知中等體積是desk dictionary的外部特征．
76．答案：large and heavy．根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù)第二句："Because unabridged dictionaries contain nearly all English words，they are large and heavy．"可知應(yīng)填large and heavy．
77．答案：schools and libraries．根據(jù)第二段最后一句："They are often used by schools and libraries．"可知應(yīng)填schools and libraries．   
78．答案：admitting new words．根據(jù)第三段第二句中："English is a dynamic language that admits new words…"可知醫(yī)院是一種動(dòng)態(tài)的語(yǔ)言，所以詞典也應(yīng)及時(shí)地更新，收入新的單詞．    
79．答案：check．根據(jù)第四段的第一句話："In selecting a dictionary，check the features it offers besides vocabulary definitions．"可知題目中最后一個(gè)方框里的三條信息所講的是選擇字典時(shí)要檢查詞匯以外的特點(diǎn)，故填check
80．答案：access to．根據(jù)全篇章的最后一句話："Some also contain CD-ROMS and access to special online features．"故填access to．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做這類題時(shí)，要根據(jù)所要填的空的前后詞語(yǔ)到文章中去找到關(guān)鍵信息．
