You may think that English dictionaries have been used for many, many centuries. In fact, an English dictionary you 1today wasn’t made until the Qing dynasty(清朝).Three men did most of the important 2work on dictionaries. They spent nearly all their lives trying to 3words for their dictionaries. For them, it was a wonderful journey. The largest dictionary in the world is The Oxford English Dictionary. The 4for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor(编者)of its new dictionary.
Murray had never been to 5 _. At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. 6 he became a great teacher.After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a small house 7 in his garden to do the work.

五、阅读理解。
American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select their subjects and teachers first.
Selecting is very important for your marks in America. So at the first term, don't select too many subjects, or you'll feel very nervous and tired. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, timetables, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him, because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades.
There is another thing after you select the subjects and the teachers. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each one is about $30-50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.
In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages you to ask questions or show your own opinions. They don't usually ask you to sit well. Instead, they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like.
( )1. What does the underlined word “select” mean
A.Choose. B.Like. C.Treat. D.Take.
( )2. According to the text, American students_______.
A. don't have to ask for teaching plans
B.don't have to choose teachers
C. would like to choose strict teachers
D. usually buy some used textbooks in order to save money
( )3. Which of the following is NOT true
A. Students won't choose the teacher who leaves too much homework.
B. Students won't choose the teacher who leaves too many exams.
C. Students will choose the teacher who is called “killer”.
D. Students won't choose the teacher who gives too low marks.
( )4. What is important in American class
Reading. B.Writing. C.Discussing. D.Listening.
