Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the idea/words 6 with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can.

36.C . 通读全文可知,作者是一个中国大学生,中国人学英语,尤其是初学者习惯使用英 汉词典.当作者看到英英词典的时候,他感到"吃惊".
37.B.前后两句在意义上是让步关系,所以用 although 引导让步状语从句.而 A 项 because 引导原因状语从句;Unless 和 if'引导条件状语从句.
38.A.此空格处是一个并列连词,连接前后两句.而前后两句之间存在的是转折关系,所以 用 but.
39. A.最初用英英词典,不习惯,所以作者感觉用起来"很难 difficult".interesting 是"有 趣味的意思",根据下文 not fully understand the meaning 不可能是这个答案;ambiguous 是 "不明确的";practical 是"实用的",这两个词也不符合语境.
