前言

　　歷史跨人21世紀(jì)之后，伴隨著中華民族的發(fā)展和崛起，更好地培養(yǎng)具有高水平的英語(yǔ)應(yīng)用能力的新世紀(jì)人才便成為我國(guó)大學(xué)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)所肩負(fù)的重要任務(wù)，也是時(shí)代所賦予的使命。如果說，在人類開始步入現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的19世紀(jì)，馬克思說“外國(guó)語(yǔ)是人生奮斗的一種武器”，歌德說“只通曉一種語(yǔ)言的人無(wú)法真正理解他的母語(yǔ)”。主要是著眼于掌握和使用一門外語(yǔ)對(duì)作為個(gè)體的人的作用和意義.那么在當(dāng)今社會(huì)各個(gè)領(lǐng)域都日益全球化、多元的民族文化融合交織的復(fù)雜背景下。無(wú)論是個(gè)人還是國(guó)家和民族，掌握并運(yùn)用一門作為國(guó)際通用語(yǔ)言的外語(yǔ)，對(duì)其存在與發(fā)展的重要性都是不言而喻的?！　≡诮逃I(lǐng)域，教材歷來是教學(xué)的重要基礎(chǔ)，教材的質(zhì)量與特征也在很大程度上決定教學(xué)效果。就大學(xué)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)而言，教材的不斷更新和建設(shè)歷來是促進(jìn)教學(xué)改革、提高教學(xué)質(zhì)量的重要基礎(chǔ)和先行任務(wù)。在國(guó)家的宏觀政策方面，國(guó)家教育部和全國(guó)高校外語(yǔ)教學(xué)指導(dǎo)委員會(huì)長(zhǎng)期以來一直堅(jiān)定推行大學(xué)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)改革，制定并頒布了新時(shí)期的《大學(xué)英語(yǔ)課程教學(xué)要求》，為大學(xué)英語(yǔ)教材的編寫及其教學(xué)工作提供了指導(dǎo)與依據(jù)。在上述背景下，北京大學(xué)教材建設(shè)委員會(huì)重點(diǎn)立項(xiàng)“大學(xué)英語(yǔ)”教材建設(shè)，北京大學(xué)出版社具體組織、策劃了本套《大學(xué)英語(yǔ)立體化網(wǎng)絡(luò)化系列教材》的編寫和出版工作，并被教育部批準(zhǔn)為普通高等教育“十一五”國(guó)家級(jí)規(guī)劃教材。　　作為《大學(xué)英語(yǔ)立體化網(wǎng)絡(luò)化系列教材》的重要組成部分，《新大學(xué)英語(yǔ)系列教材》原由美國(guó)最大的教育出版社之一Houghton Mifflin出版社刊行，其主要特色是：基于目前全球化的教育背景，在教材內(nèi)容中注重培養(yǎng)國(guó)際化視野，傳授綜合性的學(xué)術(shù)知識(shí)，循序漸進(jìn)地提高英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)和應(yīng)用能力。2009年，北京大學(xué)出版社將該教材引入國(guó)內(nèi)后，我們根據(jù)國(guó)家教育部和全國(guó)高校外語(yǔ)教學(xué)指導(dǎo)委員會(huì)制定的《大學(xué)英語(yǔ)課程教學(xué)要求》，結(jié)合當(dāng)前國(guó)內(nèi)高校英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的普遍現(xiàn)狀，對(duì)原教材進(jìn)行了全面修訂，酌情刪節(jié)和補(bǔ)充，旨在保留其主要內(nèi)容與特征的基礎(chǔ)上，充分體現(xiàn)我國(guó)大學(xué)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的宗旨和特色。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　2. Eating Better Than OrganicBy JOHN CLOUD　　A selection of fresh vegetables from the Windflower Farm in upstate New York, near theVermont border.　　Not long ago I had an apple problem. Wavering in the produce section of a Manhattangrocery store, I was unable to decide between an organic apple and a nonorganic apple （whichwas labeled conventional, since that sounds better than "sprayed with pesticides that might killyou"）.　It shouldn't have been a tough choice——who wants to eat pesticide residue？——but theorganic apples had been grown in California.　The conventional ones were from right here inNew York State.　I know I've been listening to too much npr because I started wondering:How much Middle Eastern off did it take to get that California apple to me？　Which farmershould I support——the one who rejected pesticides in California or the one who was,　in someromantic sense, a neighbor？ Most important, didn't the apple's taste suffer after the fruit wascrated and refrigerated and jostled for thousands of miles？　　In the end I bought both apples. （They were both good, although the California one hada mealy bit, possibly from its journey.） It's only recently that I had noticed more locally grownproducts in the supermarket, but when I got home I discovered that the organic-vs.-localdebate has become one of the liveliest in the food world. Last year Wal-Mart began offeringmore organic products——those grown without pesticides, antibiotics, irradiation and so on——andthe big company's expansion into a once alternative food culture has been a source of deepconcern, and predictable backlash, among early organic adopters.　　Nearly a quarter of American shoppers now buy organic products once a week, up from17% in 2000. But for food purists, "local" is the new "organic," the new ideal that promiseshealthier bodies and a healthier planet. Many chefs, food writers and politically minded eatersare outraged that　"Big Organic"　firms now use the same industrial-size farming andlong-distance-shipping methods as conventional agribusiness. "Should I assume that I have aGod-given right to access the entire earth's bounty, however far away some of its produce isgrown？" asks ethnobotanist Gary Paul Nabhan in his 2002 memoir, Coming Home to Eat:The Pleasures and Politics of Local Foods. Nabhan predicted my apple problem when hevacillated over some organic pumpkin canned hundreds of miles from his Arizona home.　"Ifyou send it halfway around the world before it is eaten," he mused, "an organic food stillmay be 'good' for the consumer, but is it 'good' for the food system？"　　……
