Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through

my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was
{{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}to see that it was an English
dictionary, {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}known as a
monolingual (单语的 ) dictionary. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}it was
a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one.
But, to be honest, I found it extremely 70 to use at first. I would look up
words in the dictionary and {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}not fully
understand the meaning. I was used to the {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}}
{{/U}}bilingual (双语的) dictionaries, in which the words are {{U}} {{U}}
6 {{/U}} {{/U}}both in English and Chinese. I really {{U}} {{U}}
7 {{/U}} {{/U}}why my aunt decided to make things so difficult for me.
Now, after studying English at university for three years, I {{U}} {{U}}
8 {{/U}} {{/U}}that monolingual dictionaries are better {{U}}
{{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}learning a foreign language.
As I found out, there is {{U}} {{U}} 10 {{/U}} {{/U}}often NO
perfect equivalence between two words in two languages. My aunt even goes so far
as to {{U}} {{U}} 11 {{/U}} {{/U}}that a Chinese "equivalent"
can never give you the {{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}}meaning of a
word in English! {{U}} {{U}} 13 {{/U}} {{/U}}, she insisted that
I read the definition of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get
a better understanding {{U}} {{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}its meaning.
{{U}} {{U}} 15 {{/U}} {{/U}}, I have come to see what she
meant. Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped
me in another important {{U}} {{U}} 16 {{/U}} {{/U}}. This
dictionary uses a {{U}} {{U}} 17 {{/U}} {{/U}}number of words,
around 2,000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am {{U}}
{{U}} 18 {{/U}} {{/U}}exposed to the basic words and learn how they
are used to explain objects and ideas. {{U}} {{U}} 19 {{/U}}
{{/U}}this, I can express myself more easily in English.

B. disappointed
C. surprised

C
【答案解析】[解析] 语义衔接题。结合后面提到的none of my classmates had one以及I was used to the…bilingual (双语的)dictionaries可知，对于习惯使用双语字典的作者来说，aunt给的这本同学们都没有使用过的 monolingual(单语的)dictionary应该是让他感到吃惊，故答案为[C]surprised“吃惊的”。[A]worried“担忧的”、 [B]disappointed“失望的”、[D]hesitated“犹豫的”均不符合此处语境。
