单选题{{B}}Section C{{/B}} This section consists of one passage
followed by five questions. Read the passage carefully, and then answer each of
the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the
answer sheet.
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following
passage. Historically, dictionaries have been thought
of as dull and mechanical which is perhaps why many teachers are reluctant to
exploit them in their classes. But these books have come a long way in recent
years. This passage is about how learner's dictionaries can be a stimulating
source of activities. You know that guilty feeling--your
students could really benefit from the excellent learner's dictionaries now
available, but somehow you can't find the time to check on their reference
skills. I can't count the number of times teachers have said to me, "In theory,
we do dictionary skills lessons every term, but actually it often seems to go by
the board. " Perhaps that's partly because dictionary activities
used to be rather dull and mechanical. So did the dictionaries. In the old days,
they were impenetrable books, full of complicated definitions and rather
artificial, made-up examples, which didn't really help the student find out what
the word meant or when and how it should be used. It's no wonder that language
learners were less than enthusiastic about dictionary work. But
things have come long way since then. Dictionaries themselves have become much
more user-friendly and accessible, and, as a result, they are more powerful and
valuable as teaching and learning tools. The once difficult
definitions have been replaced by easy-to-understand word explanations, which
are written in limited defining vocabularies. Headwords are often accompanied by
useful information, such as details about frequency and the examples of words
usage are typically authentic and illustrative. A similar
revolution has taken place with dictionary activities. In the past, workbooks
and worksheets concentrated on the mechanics of dictionary use, rather than
focusing on the user. The emphasis was on explaining conventions, and on working
through the various parts of an entry. Today, the new generation of dictionary
workbooks show how dictionaries can be used to help students improve their
reading comprehension, and, in some cases, their writing as well.
Let's look at receptive uses of a dictionary first. This is how
dictionaries are normally used--to look up the meaning of a word that is either
not known at all or not fully understood. One way of making
dictionary activities more realistic and stimulating has been achieved by
embedding dictionary, activities in text-based work, thereby replicating the way
a student would normally use a dictionary, that is, to work from text to
dictionary. This enables the classroom teacher to use texts for a variety of
purposes: as practice for student has understood the meaning and that they know
about basics such as alphabetical order and so on. It's
important that students know how to deal with multi-sense words in English. As
teachers, we are all familiar with the very. odd written work that results from
students looking up each and every word in a passage, and quite often producing
paraphrases that indicate that the student has selected the wrong sense of a
word. Viewing the word in context helps the student fully
understand the word or the meaning instead of trying to decode the word in
isolation. The activity on this page can be used with any multi-sense words
found in any text. It's very easy to create other exercises like this yourself.
Naturally, the words you choose must be presented in a definite context, and
they must have multiple meanings. Dictionary workbooks
increasingly include exercises that help students improve their writing skills.
Moreover, these are often of the best activities of the lot. Cartoons,
crosswords, snakes and ladders, and advertisements have all been used to create
interesting and lively activities, aimed at improving students' writing skills.
Some common ones are: choosing the right word, using gap-fill, and that old
faithful, multiple choice; using a phrase rather than a single word, for
example, look up to someone--instead of the easier, but less natural word
admire; manipulating phrasal verbs and other grammar problems; taking care not
to make common mistakes, like using an article with uncountable nouns, the crime
instead of just crime, for example. Dictionary workbooks now
also include group work so as to provide activities that are ideal for classroom
use, for example, using dictionaries to find words that describe your partner.
To sum up, dictionary activities have evolved to take advantage of the increased
richness of dictionaries. Today, they can be used to train learners to fully
exploit them as a key resource, both in class and for self-access. Learner
training can now encompass training in dictionary skills in order to further
learner independence. Questions
