前言
中國(guó)人民解放軍外國(guó)語(yǔ)學(xué)院英語(yǔ)系一貫重視基礎(chǔ)階段的泛讀教學(xué),數(shù)十年來(lái),不僅在泛讀教學(xué)上積累了豐富的經(jīng)驗(yàn),而且在泛讀教材的編寫上也取得了豐碩的成果。早在1989年,曾肯干等教授編寫的《英語(yǔ)泛讀教程》由上海外語(yǔ)教育出版社出版,在我國(guó)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)界受到好評(píng),被眾多英語(yǔ)院系選作泛讀教材。 十余年過(guò)后,該系在前任系主任程工教授和現(xiàn)任系主任王嵐教授的策劃、組織和指導(dǎo)下,決定對(duì)原有教材進(jìn)行更新,由長(zhǎng)期從事英語(yǔ)專業(yè)泛讀和英語(yǔ)報(bào)刊選讀教學(xué)的資深教授唐慧心牽頭,帶領(lǐng)一批在泛讀教學(xué)上已積累了豐富經(jīng)驗(yàn)的教授、副教授、博士,自2003年9月開(kāi)始,經(jīng)過(guò)兩年多的努力,編寫出了這套《英語(yǔ)泛讀新教程》。后來(lái),本校英語(yǔ)系對(duì)本教材進(jìn)行了一輪試用,受到師生的歡迎和好評(píng)。2007年初,本教材被推薦給上海外語(yǔ)教育出版社,謝宇女士審閱后提出了寶貴的意見(jiàn)和建議,于是,教材編寫組又用了幾個(gè)月的時(shí)間,重新系統(tǒng)地調(diào)整了課文的難度,對(duì)練習(xí)也作了進(jìn)一步的改進(jìn),使這套教材日臻完善?! ”窘坛淌歉鶕?jù)《高等學(xué)校英語(yǔ)專業(yè)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)大綱》的要求而編寫的英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)階段泛讀教材,供英語(yǔ)專業(yè)一、二年級(jí)學(xué)生使用?!陡叩葘W(xué)校英語(yǔ)專業(yè)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)大綱》對(duì)閱讀二級(jí)的要求是:能閱讀難度相當(dāng)于Thirty-Nine Steps(簡(jiǎn)寫本)的材料以及Readers Digest上的文章,本教程的第二冊(cè)除了包含與Thirty-Nine Steps難度一致的淺顯材料外,專門挑選了Readers Digest的文章;同樣,教程的第四冊(cè)也根據(jù)大綱對(duì)閱讀四級(jí)的要求選用了文學(xué)原著Sons and Lovers的章節(jié),盡量做到貼近大綱的規(guī)定與要求。全套教程四冊(cè)針對(duì)四個(gè)學(xué)期,本著循序漸進(jìn)的精神,難度也逐漸加大。每?jī)?cè)分成16個(gè)單元,足以滿足一個(gè)學(xué)期的教學(xué)量。 就編寫特色而言,本教材除繼續(xù)延續(xù)《英語(yǔ)泛讀教程》中一些行之有效的做法之外,還具有以下幾個(gè)特點(diǎn): 一、所選教材均出自當(dāng)代英語(yǔ)刊物、英語(yǔ)小說(shuō)及因特網(wǎng),具有鮮明的時(shí)代感。文章題材廣泛,語(yǔ)言流暢,文字規(guī)范,內(nèi)容健康,融知識(shí)性與趣味性于一體,反映出當(dāng)代西方社會(huì)的方方面面,如入學(xué)新生談入學(xué)后的感受、孩提時(shí)代對(duì)父母的看法、體育明星的遭遇、美英兩國(guó)的人文地理、西方人如何看中國(guó)、美國(guó)人的人生價(jià)值觀、偉人們的成功之路等。另外,還有少量的評(píng)論性文字。

章節(jié)摘錄
Lost Oceans? Most of what we now know about Venus comes from the successful Venera 13 and Venera 14 missions of 1982. On March 1 of that year, Venera 13 landed on a hilly area of Venus. Four days later,Venera 14 landed in a lowland area. Both spacecraft sent information to Earth for more than two hours. That marked a record for survival on Venus. Each craft sent back picture images of its landing site and information about the surface and atmosphere there. And each showed a different picture of Venus. According to Soviet scientists, Venera 13 landed in an area of weathered foothills. “One can see small potholes covered with hillside waste,” they said. Venera 13 provided eight color pictures of the area. Tass, the Soviet news agency, said the pictures showed “sharp rocks semicovered with fine dust and sand ... The rock is mostly brownish.” One scientist said that a cloud of dust was kicked up as Venera 13 landed. The landing of Venera 14 was different. No cloud of dust was produced. And photo images from the spacecraft showed layers of rock with some coarse6 soil. Pieces of the layered rock seemed broken, showing layers of different colors——shades of gray and brown, with a touch of blue. From information sent back by Venera 13 and Venera 14, scientists concluded that the surface of Venus was very hot and very dry. Most of it was fairly flat and smooth. But at least three mountain areas rise out of the smooth, level plain. And some of these mountains are active volcanoes. Some scientists say that the smooth, level plain is like a dry sea floor. And they say the mountain areas are like large islands rising out of the dry sea. This raises a question: Could there once have been oceans on Venus?
