【答案】4.A5.B6.A7.C

【分析】本文是一篇议论文。

文章主要论述了词典的重要作用以及作者偏爱纸质词典的原因。

【4题详解】

推理判断题。

通读全文尤其是第一段最后一句“Inthiscase,PoloniusshouldhavelentHamletagooddictionary.（在这种情况下，普罗尼尔斯应该借给哈姆雷特一本好词典。

）”可知，作者在第一段通过引用《哈姆雷特》中的一段对话引出了文章的主题——“dictionary”。

故选A。

【5题详解】

根据第二段第三句“Languageskeepchanging,too,withnewwordsconstantlybeingaddedandnewmeaningsbeingappliedtooldwords.（语言也在不断变化，新词不断被添加，旧词被赋予新的含义。

）”可知，随着新词不断出现，旧词的新义不断增加，语言也一直在变化。

由此可推知，作者提及“girl”这个旧词的新义是为了支撑“语言在不断变化”这个论点。

【6题详解】

通读第三段尤其是第二句中的“However,Istillpreferprinteddictionaries（然而，我还是更喜欢纸质词典）”可知，作者更喜欢使用纸质词典。

【7题详解】

通读最后一段尤其是第二句“ForEnglishlanguagelearners,however,IwouldrecommendtheCollinsCOBUILDDictionaryforAdvancedLearners.（然而，对于英语学习者，我推荐柯林斯高阶英语词典。
