Many dictionaries use the International Phonetic Alphabet to show pronunciation. The __7__ thing a dictionary will tell you is the meanings of words. You can __8__ a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning， and a good dictionary will explain all of the word's meanings. For example， in English the common word “get” has over 20 different meanings. The meaning， of course， __9__ the sentence in which the word is used.

Passage 14
What is the biggest city in the world？ That is， __1__ city has the largest population？ This seems like __2__ question to answer， but actually it isn't.

First of all， it isn't easy to determine a city's boundaries， that is， where a city ends. Nowadays， nearly all cities have a large __4__ area around them. So when we talk about the population of a city， we often mean the population of the whole metropolitan area around the city. That means that it's difficult to determine what the population of a city is because it's difficult to define what a city is.
The second reason that it is difficult to __5__ the population of different cities is this： it is almost impossible to get __6__ about the population of all cities for the same year. For example， we might get an estimate of New York's population in 1979 and an __7__ of Mexico City's population in 1981. So we really can't compare the numbers because the information is for __8__ different years. And the population of cities changes rather quickly， especially in some cases. For example， the population of Beijing， China may increase by 5% each year， so the population figure will change rather quickly.
So we can say that these are our two __9__ for comparing the populations of cities： one， it's difficult to determine the __10__ of a city， and two， it is difficult to get accurate information.

Passage 12
Most dictionaries will tell you a number of __1__ about a language. There are three things in particular that __2__ important. These three things are spelling， pronunciation， and meanings.
The first and most obvious thing is that a dictionary will __3__ you the spelling of a word. If you're not sure about the spelling of a word， you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in alphabetical order-a， b， c， and so on. For example， on a dictionary page the word “poor” - p， o， o， r - comes before “poverty” - p， o， v， e， r， t， y and the word “poverty” comes __4__ the word “power” - p， o， w， e， r. The words are always given in alphabetical order.
The second thing a dictionary will tell you is __5__. Most dictionaries give the pronunciation of a word in a special kind of alphabet. This special alphabet is called a phonetic， or sound alphabet. The phonetic spelling will tell you generally __6__ a word is pronounced. There are a few different phonetic alphabets. Many dictionaries use the International Phonetic Alphabet to show pronunciation. The __7__ thing a dictionary will tell you is the meanings of words. You can __8__ a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning， and a good dictionary will explain all of the word's meanings. For example， in English the common word “get” has over 20 different meanings. The meaning， of course， __9__ the sentence in which the word is used.
These three things-spelling， pronunciation， and meanings——are some of the important __10__ that you learn from dictionaries.

Passage 13
Cars are __1__ important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he has a car.
Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large __2__. He probably didn't know how much the car was going to __3__ American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.
There are three main reasons the car __4__ so popular in the United States. First of all， the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides __5__ comfortable and cheapest form of all the means of transportation. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.
The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States has never really __6__ an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air service __7__ by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.
The third reason is the most important one， though. The American spirit of independence is __8__ really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus， or a train or even a plane. They don't like to have to __9__ an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is __10__ that Americans want most to have.

Passage 14
What is the biggest city in the world？ That is， __1__ city has the largest population？ This seems like __2__ question to answer， but actually it isn't.
It's actually rather difficult to say which cities __3__ the largest. There are two reasons for this difficulty. First of all， it isn't easy to determine a city's boundaries， that is， where a city ends. Nowadays， nearly all cities have a large __4__ area around them. So when we talk about the population of a city， we often mean the population of the whole metropolitan area around the city. That means that it's difficult to determine what the population of a city is because it's difficult to define what a city is.
The second reason that it is difficult to __5__ the population of different cities is this： it is almost impossible to get __6__ about the population of all cities for the same year. For example， we might get an estimate of New York's population in 1979 and an __7__ of Mexico City's population in 1981. So we really can't compare the numbers because the information is for __8__ different years. And the population of cities changes rather quickly， especially in some cases. For example， the population of Beijing， China may increase by 5% each year， so the population figure will change rather quickly.
So we can say that these are our two __9__ for comparing the populations of cities： one， it's difficult to determine the __10__ of a city， and two， it is difficult to get accurate information.
