Looking up the meaning of words should be very easy and should avoid translation. If you have an iPad, iPhone or iPod, you can utilize an iOs feature called dictionary which allows you to highlight a word, which will then bring up its definition in English. I know you can do the same with your own first language, but it is not so helpful for learning English.
This blog post explains and shows this. (I'm sure Android devices have or will have a similar feature.) Using this, you should be able to find out the meaning of the words for Monday's reading quiz in 15 minutes. Don't translate! Although these images show text using Notepad, the dictionary app also works in Safari, iBooks and other programs.
