答案

选B consult
翻译 他不知道这个单词,因此,他问我是否可以借他本字典查阅一下.
whether在这里是“（引导名词从句)是否” 的意思.
refer是参考的意思,refer to
discuss是讨论的意思,discuss with sb
排除C D
look up 查阅；（在字典中）查出
If you don't know a word,you can look it up in a dictionary.
如果你有不识的字,可以查字典.
consult是咨询,询问之意.
此外,也有查阅(词典、参考书等)的意思,如
He consulted his notebook repeatedly during his speech.
他讲演时不断看他的笔记本.
consult与look up词义不同,不可互换使用.
"consult"的含义之一是：go to a book,etc.for information,etc.即"查阅书籍等以获得信息等".在使用及物动词consult造句时,其宾语一般是dictionary,book,magazine,telephone directory,encyclopaedia,map,railway guide等名词(或短语),而不是word,phrase等名词.后者只能出现在由介词for引出的目的状语中.因此,"to consult a word in a dictio- nary"应改为"to consult a dictionary for a word".下列例句可说明consult一词在日常生活中的具体运用：
I consulted a dictionary for the word "e-mail".我通过词典查阅"e-mail"这个词.
I consulted the telephone directory for his phone number.我在电话簿里查他的电话号码.
When you don't understand the meaning of any words or terms,you should consult a good dictionary.当你不明白一些单词或术语的含义时,应当去查阅可靠的词典.

"look up"的含义之一是：to try to find something in a dictionary or other reference,即"试图在词典或其它参考书中查找某信息".用look up造句时,其宾语应当是需要查找的某种信息,如word,phrase,idiom,slang,proverb,phone number,place name等名词(或短语).而dictionary,book,map,telephone directory,railway guide等名词(或短语)一般出现在用作地点状语的介词短语中.通过下列例句可了解look up在日常生活中的具体运用：
I looked up the word "expo" in this dictionary."Expo"is an abbreviation for"exposition".我在这本词典里查到了"expo"一词,它是"exposition"的缩写.

To consult a dictionary,etc.for a word,etc.
To look up a word,etc.in a dictionary,etc.
