阅读理解。    You may think that English dictionaries have been used for many, many centuries. In fact, an English
dictionary like the kind you use today wasn"t made until the time of the Qing Dynasty. Three men did most
of the important early work on dictionaries: Samuel Johnson, Noah Webster, and James Murray. These men
spent nearly all of their lives trying to collect words for their dictionaries. For them, it wasn"t only a job; it
was a wonderful journey. The largest dictionary in the world is the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED for
short. The idea for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later,
Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor of its new dictionary.
    Murray had never been to college. At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught
himself while working in a bank. Later he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had
a place built in the garden behind his house to do his work. Part of it was one meter underground. In winter it
felt like a barn, he had to wear a heavy coat and put his feet in a box to keep warm. Every morning, Murray
got out of bed at five o"clock and worked several hours before breakfast. Often he would work by candle light
into the evening. Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was still
adding words for the letter A! Then others went to work with Murray, including his two daughters. He worked
on the dictionary until he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1928, other editors finished it. It included
more than 15,000 words in twelve books. And you thought your English dictionary was big! 1. The first English dictionary like we are using today _____. [     ]
A. was edited in China in the Qing Dynasty
B. has been used for many centuries
C. was completed by James Murray
D. was made in the 20th century 2. What"s the meaning of the underlined sentence? [     ]
A. The editors liked their jobs very much.
B. Making dictionaries was more than their job, it took their whole lives to complete the tasks.
C. Editing dictionaries was like taking a wonderful journey.
D. It was only a job for the editors to make dictionaries. 3. Which of the following statements about the Oxford English Dictionary is NOT true? [     ]
A. It was completed by James Murray and some other people.
B. It was decided to make such a dictionary in 1857.
C. The dictionary was completed twenty-two years after it was decided to be made.
D. It took James Murray more than 5 years to add words to letter A. 4. In the last paragraph, "barn" probably is _____. [     ]
A. a hotel to live in
B. a nice house to look at
C. a place for animals to stay in
D. a room to keep cold out 5. The main purpose of writing this passage is to _____. [     ]
