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 Englishspeaking 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。 |
