问题     When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was【C1】______to see that it was an English dictionary,【C2】______known as a monolingual (单语 的) dictionary.【C3】______it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one. But, to be honest, I found it extremely【C4】______to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and【C5】______not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the【C6】______bilingual (双语的) dictionaries, in which the words are【C7】______both in English and Chinese. I really【C8】______why my aunt decided to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I【C9】______that monolingual dictionaries are better【C10】______learning a foreign language.
    As I found out, there is【C11】______often NO perfect equivalence between two words in two languages. My aunt even goes so far as to【C12】______that a Chinese "equivalent" can never give you the【C13】______meaning of a word in English!【C14】______. she insisted that I read the definition of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better understanding【C15】______its meaning.【C16】______.I have come to see what she meant.
    Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important【C17】______. This dictionary uses a【C18】______number of words, around 2,000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am【C19】______exposed to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas.【C20】______this, I can express myself more easily in English.
【C12】
选项 A、declare
B、define
C、doubt
D、report
答案A
解析 由下面提到的“她坚持认为，当我想更好地理解……它(即a word)的含义时，我应该在单语字典中阅读词的定义”可知，作者的aunt应该是认为中文的“对应词”无法很好地表达英语词汇的含义，[A]declare“声称”符合此处的语境。[C]doubt“怀疑”与此处语义相反，故排除。[D]report“报告；报道”。
