Section A (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Not all print dictionaries are the same, as you will notice when you select one. To make a wise selection, you should know how to distinguish
among three kinds of print dictionaries: pocket, desk, and unabridged. You should also know the copyright date of your dictionary, and
check is special features.
A pocket dictionary is small. Generally, it contains no more than 75000 entries, making it hardly to carry to class and efficient to use.
However, a pocket dictionary doesn't contain enough entries to be adequate for college reference homework. In addition, the information
about each word in a pocket dictionary is generally limited. A desk dictionary is medium sized, generally containing over 100,000 entries
as well as extra features. For college work, you should own a current desk dictionary. An unabridged dictionary is a complete dictionary.
Abridged dictionaries, such as pocket and desk dictionaries, are shortened. Because unabridged dictionaries contain nearly all English words,
they are large and heavy. They are often used by schools and libraries.
If the copyright date of your current dictionary shows that it was published five or more years ago, consider investing in a more recent
edition. English is a dynamic language that admits new words and recognizes changes in meaning, spelling, and usage of familiar words.
This is reflected in an up-to-date dictionary.
In selecting a dictionary, check the features it offers besides vocabulary definitions. Many editions contain signs, symbols and foreign words.
Some also contain CD-ROMs and access to special online features.
