高級英語閱讀

前言

　　《高級英語閱讀教程》是根據(jù)教育部1990年6月公布的《高等學(xué)校英語專業(yè)高年級英語教學(xué)大綱（試用本）》編寫的，適合于英語專業(yè)高年級學(xué)生使用，也可供具有大學(xué)外語四到六級水平的非英語專業(yè)學(xué)生作為閱讀材料?！　”窘坛淌占爽F(xiàn)、當(dāng)代美、英著名作家的散文、演講和故事共32篇，按主題編排。全書翕為14個單元（unit），除個別單元外，每單元有兩至三篇課文。課文內(nèi)容涉及父愛、友誼、大學(xué)生活、家庭、婦女、體育運(yùn)動、文化差異、西方民主等。同一主題的文章文體不同，風(fēng)格各異，往往從不同的角度探討同一主題，從而向青年學(xué)生展示在豐富多彩的現(xiàn)實生活中，人們多角度、多層次的思維模式，便于學(xué)生進(jìn)行比較、對照、分析、討論，有利于培養(yǎng)學(xué)生邏輯思維和判斷評述的能力。這是本教材區(qū)別于國內(nèi)出版的同類教材的顯著特點(diǎn)。在課文的編排上，遵循由近到遠(yuǎn)的原則，即從學(xué)生們較為熟悉的內(nèi)容（如：父愛、友誼、大學(xué)生活等）到他們不太熟悉的內(nèi)容（如：文化差異等）。　　每課的設(shè)計安排如下：課文前有作者簡介，課文后有注釋、要點(diǎn)評析（HighIights）、詞匯練習(xí)和問題。要點(diǎn)評析涉及背景知識、思想內(nèi)容、寫作方法和修辭手段等方面。詞匯練習(xí)用來復(fù)習(xí)、鞏固本課中出現(xiàn)的詞匯。問題分為學(xué)習(xí)題和討論題兩種，前者幫助學(xué)生回憶、掌握課文的內(nèi)容，后者啟發(fā)學(xué)生討論課文中提出的各種問題，進(jìn)行橫向和縱向的比較、思考，即進(jìn)行中、西方文化對比和歷史的回顧?！　”窘坛痰恼n文有長有短，有些短課文并不容易，其中的難點(diǎn)、難句可讓學(xué)生進(jìn)行課堂討論。對于較長的課文，也不必像低年級的綜合英語課（精讀課）那樣逐句講解，而可以揀重點(diǎn)來講解。但不管課文長短，均可利用課文后面的討論題，組織學(xué)生分小組用英語進(jìn)行課堂討論，并可在此基礎(chǔ)上，布置適量的寫作練習(xí)。較短的課文一般可用2學(xué)時教完，較長的課文可用3-4學(xué)時教完。以閱讀課每周2學(xué)時計算，本教程可用一學(xué)年；以閱讀課每周4學(xué)時計算，本教程可用一學(xué)期?！　”窘坛淘谀暇┐髮W(xué)外國語學(xué)院英語系三年級經(jīng)過四年試用，三次修訂，終于脫稿，編者深感欣慰。在編寫過程中，得到了樂眉云教授、劉海平教授、金筑云教授等同志的熱情支持和幫助，還有楊敬清、葉曉蘭等同志曾協(xié)助打印初稿，尤其是外籍專家Kate AIlen博士仔細(xì)校閱了原稿，并提出了寶貴的意見，在此表示深深的謝忱。由于水平有限，書中難免有不少缺點(diǎn)和錯誤，歡迎師生們批評指正。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　My first friend was Slobo. I was still living in Yugoslavia at the time, and not far frommy house there was an old German truck left abandoned after the war. It had no wheels. Nowindshield. No doors. But the steering wheel was intact. Slobo.and I flew to America in thattruck. It was our airplane. Even now, I remember the background moving as we took offdown the street, across Europe, across the Atlantic. We were inseparable. The best of friends.Naturally, not one word concerning the nature of our feelings for one another was ever ex-changed. It was all done in actions.　　The inevitable would happen at least once a day. As we were flying over the Atlantic,there came, out of nowhere, that wonderful moment: engine failure！ "Well have to bailout," I shouted. "A-a-a-a-a！" Slobo made the sound of the failing engine. Then he would turnand look me in the eye: "I cant swim," hed say. "Fear not. " I put my hand on his shoulder."I11 drag you to shore." And, with that, both of us would tumble out of the truck onto thedusty street.　I swam through the dust.　Slobo drowned in the dust, coughing, gagging."Sharks！" he cried. But I always saved him. The next day the ritual would be repeated, onlythen it would be my turn to say "I cant swim," and Slobo would save me. We saved each oth-er from certain death over a hundred times, until finally a day came when I really left forAmerica with my mother and sister. Slobo and I stood at the train station. We wcre there to saygoodbye, but, since we werent that good at saying things and since he couldnt save me, hejust cried until the train started to move.　　The best friend I had in high school was Louie. It now seems to mc that I was totally mo-nogamous when it came to male friends. I would have several girl friends but only one realmale friend. Louie was it at that time. We were both athletes, and one day we decided to "runtill we drop." We just wanted to know what it was like. Skinny Louie set the pace as we ranaround our high-school track. Lap after lap. Four laps to a mile. Mile after mile we ran. I hadthe reputation as being a big-time jock. Louie didnt. But this was Louies day. There was abounce in his step and, when he turned back to look at me, his eyes were gleaming with thethrill of it all. I finally dropped. Louie still looked fresh; he seemed capable, on that day, ofrunning forever. But we were the best of friends, and so he stopped. "Thats it," he lied, "Icouldnt go another step farther. " It was an act of love. Naturally, I said nothing.
