专四备考中,掌握一些英语专四备考攻略,可以帮助大家更高效的备考英语专四,那么具体的这些攻略都有哪些?下面小编为大家整理了“2023英语专业四级阅读理解练习(9)”,希望同学们可以更好的进行积累训练,在接下来的专四考试中,能够顺利完成考试。
Three English dictionaries published recently all lay claim to possessing a
“ne w” feature. The BBC English Dictionary contains background information on
1,000 people and places prominent in the news since 1988; the Oxford Advanced
Learner ’s Dictionary: Encyclopedic Edition is the OALD plus encyclopedic
entries; the L ongman Dictionary of English Language and Culture is the LDOCE
plus cultural inf ormation.
The key fact is that all three dictionaries can be seen to have a
distinctly “c ultural” as well as language learning content. That being said,
the way in whic h they approach the cultural element is not identical, making
direct comparisons between the three difficult.
While there is some common ground between the encyclopedic/cultural entries
for the Oxford and Longman dictionaries, there is a clear difference. Oxford
lays cl aim to being encyclopedic on content whereas Longman distinctly
concentrates on the language and culture of the English?speaking world. The
Oxford dictionary c an therefore stand more vigorous scrutiny for cultural bias
than the Longman pub lication because the latter does not hesitate about viewing
the rest of the worl d from the cultural perspectives of the English?speaking
world. The cultural ob jectives of the BBC dictionary are in turn more distinct
still. Based on an anal ysis of over 70 million words recorded from the BBC
World Service and National P ublic Radio of Washington over a period of four
years, their 1,000 brief encyclo pedic entries are based on people and places
that have featured in the news rece ntly. The intended user they have in mind is
a regular listener to the World Ser vice who will have a reasonable standard of
English and a developed skill in list ening comprehension.
In reality, though, the BBC dictionary will be purchased by a far wider
range of language learners, as will the other two dictionaries. We will be faced
with a situation where many of the users of these dictionaries will at the very
least h ave distinct socio?cultural perspectives and may have world views which
are tot ally opposed and even hostile to those of the West. Advanced learners
form this kind of background will not only evaluate a dictionary on how
user?friendly it is but will also have definite views about the scope and
appropriateness of the various socio?cultural entries.?
1. What feature sets apart the three dictionaries discussed in the passage
from traditional ones
A. The combination of two dictionaries into one.?
B. The new approach to defining words.?
C. The inclusion of cultural content.?
D. The increase in the number of entries. ?
2. The Longman dictionary is more likely to be criticized for cultural
prejudice because ?______?.?
A. its scope of cultural entries goes beyond the culture of the
English?speaking world?
B. it pays little attention to the cultural content of the
non?English?speaking countries?
C. it views the world purely from the standpoint of the English?speaking
people?
D. it fails to distinguish language from culture in its encyclopedic
entries?
3. It is implied in the last paragraph that, in approaching socio?cultural
content in a dictionary,social thought should be given to ?___ ___?.
A. the language levels of its users?
B. the number of its prospective purchasers?
C. the different tastes of its users?
D. the various cultural backgrounds of its users
答案
1. C) 根据文章第一段可知新出版的这三本字典都有一个新的特征(既不 同于以往的特征 )那就是,根据第二段第一句 “The key fact is
that all three dictionaries can be seen to have a distinctly “cultural” as well
as language learning content”,除 了语言学习的内容外又增加了有关“文化方面”的内容, 因此选项C为正确答案。选项A、B
文章未涉及,选项D不符合题意。?
2. C) 根据文章第三段第四至六行 “The Oxford dictionary can there fore stand more
vigorous scrutiny for cultural bias than the Longman publication because the
latter does not hesitate about viewing the rest of the world from t he cultural
perspectives of the English?speaking world.”可知, 作者对牛津和朗
曼字典进行了比较。作者认为相对于朗曼字典,牛津字典更能经得起文化偏见方面的推敲,
这是因为朗曼字典只是从英语国家的文化观点去审视其他国家的文化,这正好符合选项C的 内容。选项A、B、D都不符合题意。?
3. D) 根据文章最后一段可知,这三本字典会有各种各样的读者来购买,
这些读者的社会文化背景也会是各种各样的,他们中一定有些人生活在世界观与之相反甚至
敌视的文化背景下。这些高级学习者不仅可以根据这本字典是否合用来评价它,而且对各种
社会文化词条的内容和准确性都有自己的看法,也就是说字典的编纂者要考虑到这些。选项 D符合以上分析的内容。
以上就是为大家整理的“2023英语专业四级阅读理解练习(9)”,希望大家能够更好的掌握专四攻略,提高专四水平。
