Module 6 Why Do We Need Dictionaries(满分：120分；时间：100分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)A(2016·石家庄市高三年级调研检测)During the two and a half years since I settled down in Germany，I've caught a cold several times and gotten to experience how different German cold remedies (疗法) are from the Chinese ones.Back in Taiwan，whenever I had a streaming nose and a dry throat，I'd rush to the hospital to get prescribed medicine.For a fever，I would receive a red pill，which I now know is a type of antibiotic(抗生素)．Another thing I know now is that the criminal behind my cold is a virus.The drugs I used only relieved the symptoms.When I went to a German hospital intending to get some medicine to treat my cold，I got nothing more than a pat on my shoulder and words from the doctor，saying that I should get some really good rest.The first time this happened，I was shocked.I wondered how I could put up with my sickness without the help of medicine.But the longer I stayed in Germany，the better I knew how to selfmedicate as other Germans do.I learned to take vitamin C to build up my resistance.But what I like the most is drinking “Erkältungstee”．For German people，Erkältungstee is what their grandmother gives them when they catch a cold.It's a tea bag mainly made of lime flower and orange rind.Another popular cold remedy in Germany is chicken soup.During my first winter in Germany，I got a really bad cold.My neighbor brought me a bowl of chicken soup to make me feel better.It contained a lot of ginger，onion，garlic，carrots and celery.Germans believe these ingredients are perfect for helping your body recover.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在德国如何应对感冒的故事。
高中英语 话题导入(Module 6 Why Do We Need Dictionaries)教学素材 外研版选修9
Module 6 Why Do We Need Dictionaries?话题导入英语词汇起源及妙记School学校School这个词是从希腊语schole一词来的，意思是“闲暇”。
在古希腊人看来，那些从事战争和搞政治的人是辛苦的，而只有“闲暇”的人才有时间读书学习。
后来，古希腊的哲学家亚里士多德、柏拉图给青年讲课的地方就被称作schole，这个词以后转成拉丁语词school，后又被英语借用。
和school密切相关的还有一个词：scholar（学者）。
同样道理，这个词是指那些有“闲暇”时间读书、研究、构思以及进行学术讨论的人。
背景知识第一本英语词典是仅有120多页的一本小书，编者是一个叫罗伯特·考德雷的人，于1604年出版，书名为《词汇表》。
塞缪尔·约翰逊博士于1746年6月18日在早餐时，同出版商罗伯特·多德斯莱签署了出版一本词典的合同。
他的酬金是1575英镑，分期付款。
他从中拿出钱来支付了高夫广场17号的租金，在这儿他设立了他的词典作坊。
他的传记作者詹姆斯·博斯威尔形容约翰逊工作的阁楼“装置得像一间存账室”，一张长桌放在正中，抄写文员在桌边站着工作。
约翰逊本人则在一张“很旧的摇摇晃晃的松木桌”旁置身在一把东倒西歪的椅子里，周围是乱糟糟的借来的书籍。
他有6个助手帮忙(5个苏格兰人，其中一个是“下等黑话片语”的专家，以及1个英国人)，其中有两个人在《词典》仍处于筹备期间就死了。
他的工作量极其巨大。
约翰逊写作用了大约80多本大号笔记本，写了四万多词条的定义，从伊丽莎白时代的作家到他本人时代的有关所有主题的英语作品中引用了11.4万条引文，以说明这些词条的意思。
他并不指望达到完全的独创。
为了赶截止期，他不得不从以前的词典中撷精取华，把他的作品变成了一种具有英雄胆略的集大成之作。
事实上他的成果远不止于此。
约翰逊与他之前的词典编纂者不同，他以实事求是的态度来对待英语，把它当成一种活的语言，认为英语有着许多不同层次上的意义。
