Question 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: Three English dictionaries publi

17、shed recently all lay claim to possessing a new feature. The BBC English Dictionary contains background information on l, 000 people and places prominent in the news since 1988; the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary: Encyclopedic Edition is the OALD plus encyclopedic entries; the Longman Dictionar

18、y of English Language and Culture is the LME plus cultural information. The key fact is that all three dictionaries can be seen to have a distinctly cultural as well as language learning content. That being said, the way in which they approach the cultural element is not identical, making direct com

19、parisons between the three difficult. While there is some common ground between the encyclopedic/cultural entries for the Oxford and Longman dictionaries, there is a clear difference. Oxford lays claim to being encyclopedic on content whereas Longman distinctly concentrates on the language and cultu

20、re of the English-speaking world. The Oxford dictionary can therefore 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 the cultural perspectives of the English-speaking world. The cultural object

21、ives of the BBC dictionary are in turn more distinct still. Based on an analysis of over 70 million words recorded from the BBC World Service and National Public Radio of Washington over a period of four years, their 1,000 brief encyclopedic entries are based on people and places that have featured

22、in the news recently. The intended user they have in mind is a regular listener to the World Service who will have a reasonable standard of English and a developed skill in listening comprehension.

We will be faced with a situation where many of the users of these dictionaries will at the very least have distinct socio-cultural perspectives and may have world views which are totally opposed and even hostile to those of the West. Advanced learners from this kin

24、d of background will not only evaluate a dictionary on how user-friendly it is but will also have definite views about the scope and appropriateness of the various socio-cultural entries. 31. What feature sets apart the three dictionaries discussed in the passage from traditional ones? A) The combin

25、ation of two dictionaries into one B) The new approach to defining words C) The inclusion of cultural content D) The increase in the number of entries 32. The Longman dictionary is more likely to be criticized for cultural prejudice _. A) Its scope of cultural entries the beyond the culture of the E

26、nglish-speaking world. B) it pays little attention to the cultural content d the non-English-speaking countries C) it views the world purely from the standpoint of the English-speaking world. D) it fails to distinguish language from culture in its encyclopedic entries. 33. The BBC dictionary differs

27、 from Oxford and Longman in that _. A) it has a wider selection Of encyclopedic entries B) it is mainly design to meet the needs of radio listeners C) it lays more emphasis co language then on culture D) it is intended to help listeners develop their listening comprehension skills 34 .
