56 .句意:但我总是在字典里读单词的第一个意思。
second 第二; first 第一; final 最终的; last 最后的;根据下文 “Then I opened my dictionary and found the first meaning...” 可知,作者为了读书快,只在字典里看单词的第一个意思。故选 B 。
57 .我从来没有读过其他的意思。那是因为我想快速阅读我的书。

58 .我从来没有读过其他的意思。那是因为我想快速阅读我的书。
sadly 伤心地; quietly 安静地; slowly 缓慢地; quickly 迅速地。根据 “But I always read the ... meaning ( 意思 ) of a word in the dictionary.” 可推知,只读单词的第一个意思,是为了不耽误时间,快点读书。故选 D 。
59 .句意:今天早上,当我在读书的时候,我遇到了一个奇怪的句子。
team 团队; role 角色; sentence 句子; club 俱乐部。根据空后 “Draw a picture of your house” 可知,是句子。故选 C 。
60 .句意:我认识句中的五个单词,但我不理解一个单词。
introduce 介绍; say 说; understand 理解; ask 询问。根据下文 “I didn’t know ‘draw’.” 可知,作者不明白一个单词的含义,故选 C 。
61 .句意:所以我写了这个句子的意思 “ 拉一张你房子的照片 ” 。
car 汽车; house 房子; clothes 衣服; school 学校。根据上文 “It had six words ‘Draw a picture of your house’. I knew five words in this sentence, ... I didn’t know ‘draw’. It was ‘pull ( 拉 )’ ” 可知,作者将 “draw” 换成了 “pull” ,其他单词无变化,故此处应用 house 。故选 B 。
62 .句意:他拿起我的字典,对我说 …… 。
worried about 担忧; picked up 拾起; came over 过来; fell off 跌落。根据下文 “Look, Jack. The second meaning of ‘draw’ is ‘make a picture with a ... a pencil or a brush’.” 可知,此处应是拿起字典,指着字典对作者说。故选 B 。

64 .句意:所以这个句子的意思是 “ 为你的房子画一张图 ” 。
So 因此; Or 或者; But 但是; If 如果。根据 “... the sentence means ‘Make a picture of your house.’ ” 和前文可知,作者的朋友迪克解释了句子中的 “draw” 要用单词的第二层意思,因此这个句子的正确含义是 “ 为你的房子画一幅画 ” ,此处与上文构成因果关系,应用 so 连接。故选 A 。
65 .句意:我觉得迪克很棒。
bad 坏的; strange 奇怪的; silly 愚蠢的; great 很好的。根据上文 “And at last I knew how to use my dictionary.” 可推知,作者认为迪克很棒,故选 D 。
