前言

　　2004年1月，教育部頒布了《大學英語課程教學要求（試行）》，將大學英語的教學目標確定為“培養(yǎng)學生的英語綜合應用能力，特別是聽說能力，使他們在今后工作和社會交往中能用英語有效地進行口頭和書面的信息交流，同時增強其自主學習能力，提高綜合文化素養(yǎng)，以適應我國社會發(fā)展和國際交流的需要”，提出了分層次（即“一般要求”、“較高要求”和“更高要求”）和分類指導的教學要求。與此同時，教育部在全國180所院校開展多媒體網(wǎng)絡教學的試點，推廣具有個性化學習特征的多媒體網(wǎng)絡教學系統(tǒng)，并于2005年2月頒布了《全國大學英語四、六級考試改革方案（試行）》，2007年7月又下發(fā)了修訂后的《大學英語課程教學要求》。這些舉措進一步推動了我國高校大學英語教學全方位的改革和教學質量的全面提升。新世紀的教學改革呼喚新的教材不斷誕生。這既是時代的召喚，也是歷史的必然?！　≌窃谶@樣的時代背景下，上海外語教育出版社于2004年初組織全國數(shù)十所高校啟動了“新世紀大學英語系列教材”建設項目。項目開始之初，外教社以書面問卷、個別訪談和集體座談等形式在全國數(shù)十所高校中進行了廣泛的調查研究，并請專家對編寫方案進行了多次論證。在上海外語教育出版社莊智象社長的直接領導和籌劃下，經過三年多的努力，我們編寫了這套“新世紀大學英語系列教材”，力圖為新世紀形勢下的我國大學英語教材建設作出新的嘗試和努力。經教育部認定，這套教材已被列入“普通高等教育‘十一五’國家級規(guī)劃教材”。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　Australia is a relatively safe place, something which surveys of overseas students have shown that they value greatly. As in most of the industrialized countries, Australia has experienced a serious economic recession making many people unemployed. This has caused a small in-crease in the amount of petty crime, but in comparison with the USA, UK or al-most anywhere else in the Western world the problem remains limited.　　The opportunity to work while studying in order to help cover expenses is one which overseas students welcome. Australia is comparatively generous in this regard, especially since changes in government policy in February 1991. All over-seas students, regardless of which country they come from and what they intend to study, may work for up to 20 hours per week during semesters and full-time during vacations and other course breaks. Part-time study is not permitted on a student visa.　　Finding work in a different country can be trying, and if it is essential for survival the pressure that it creates can be a worry. Most campuses maintain a part-time work agency, but the number of jobs available from varies place to place. Generally, it is not easy to find work at the moment be-cause Australia is experiencing an economic recession. More than half of Australias visiting students say that they take advantage of the right to work, but it is hard to know for certain how much they do or what they earn.
