IV. Reading (30')

Text A

Tommy Albelin, a Devils defenseman, was the team’s most effective performer the night the Stanley Cup champions played their best game of the young season. Playing left wing instead of defense against the Detroit Red Wings last Thursday night, Albelin scored the second goal of the game and made the pass that set up the fourth one.

Albelin played so well in the 4-2 victory that Coach Jacques Lemaire said, “Tommy, you lost your job.”

“I was ki nd of surprised,” Albelin said today. “When he saw the look on my face, he said very quickly ‘as a defenseman’ and I knew then he was joking.”

Lemaire had Albelin right back on defense in the next game, last Saturday’s 4-1 triumph over the Ottawa Senators. Albelin responded just as well, making the pass for the winning goal.

With Brian Rolston leaving today’s practice because of a foot problem and ready to join Bobby Holik and Bob Carpenter as injured Devils, look for Albelin to return to left wing when New Jersey plays the Vancouver Canucks Wednesday night at the Meadowlands.

This season, the 31-year-old Albelin has played left wing three times and defenseman four. In

addition, because Albelin is so adept at skating and puck-handling, Lemaire has been using him for penalty killing and the power play.

“It’s a big advantage to have a player like him,” Lemaire said after today’s practice. “When you don’t have the necessary player to play against a player, you can use Abbey because he adjusts ver y well. He listens to all the things I tell the defensemen and all the things I tell the forwards. “

Lemaire’s decision to shuttle Albelin is not prompted by a desire to find the best position for him. Rather, it is testimony to Albelin’s versatility.

Albelin was used as a left wing for the first time by Herb Brooks, the man whom Lemaire replaced after Brooks resigned three summers ago, but he played only a handful of games in that position.

The Devils changed coaches frequently in Albelin’s early years with the team. As a result, Albelin contemplated returning home to Sweden several times. But he said today he was glad he never did.

Albelin came to the Devils from Quebec in 1988 and has been a solid player. Year after year, despite coaching changes, injuries and the presence of marquee names like Scott Stevens, SlavaFetisov, Stephane Richer and Claude Lemeiux, Albelin’s dedication and consummate professionalism have made him an integral part of the team.

“My philosophy has always been to play where the team needs me,” Albelin said. “I don’t question the decisions by the coaches. As long as I’m out there on the ice, I don’t care what position I play.”

Albelin has performed effectively at wing and on defense despite the different responsibilities. Judging by the way Albelin described them, it is clear he prefers to play defense.

“There are a lot of adjustments you have to make as a forward,” Albelin said, “You have to be a little more creative, do more things with the puck. Improvise somewhat, but to a point. As a defenseman, you can get by most of the time by giving the puck to your forwards and support the play.”

Albelin said today that the uncertainty over whether he will play defense or offense on any given night was not much of a concern in terms of preparing himself.

“I don’t mind as long as I know before the warm-ups,” he said.

1. Tommy Albelin is _______ defenseman.

A. in the late 1980s

B. in Albelin’s years with the team

A. forward

B. left wing

The effect of any writing on the public mind is mathematically measurable by its depth of thought. How much water does it draw? If it awaken you to think, if it lift you from your feet with the great voice of eloquence, then the effect is to be wide, slow, permanent, over the minds of men; if the pages instruct you not, they will die like flies in the hour. The way to speak and write what shall not go out of fashion is, to speak and write sincerely. The argument which has not power to reach my own practice, I may well doubt, will fail to reach yours. Bu t take Sidney’s maxim: —“Look in thy heart, and write.” He that writes to himself writes to an eternal public. That statement only is fit to be made public, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy your own curiosity. The writer who takes his subject from his ear, and not from his heart, should know that he has lost as much as he seems to have gained, and when the empty book has gathered all its praise, and half the people say, “What poetry! What genius!” it still needs fuel to make fire. That only profits which is profitable. Life alone can impart life; and though we should burst, we can only be valued as we make ourselves valuable. There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears; but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man’s title to fame. Only those books come down which deserve to last. Gilt edges, vellum, and morocco, and presentation-copies to all the libraries, will not preserve a book in circulation beyond its intrinsic date. It must go with all Walpole’s Noble and Royal Authors to its fate. Blackmore, Kotzebue, or Pollok may endure for a night, but Moses and Homer stand forever. There are not in the world at any one time more than a dozen persons who read and understand Plato: — never enough to pay for an edition of his works; yet to every generation these come duly down, for the sake of those few persons, as if God brought them in his hand. “No book,” said Bentley, “was ever written down by any but itself.” The permanence of all books is fixed by no effort friendly or hostile, but by their own specific gravity, or the intrinsic importance of their contents to t he constant mind of man. “Do not trouble yourself too much about the light on your statue,” said Michelangelo to the young sculptor; “the light of the public square will test its value.”

In like manner the effect of every action is measured by the depth of the sentiment from which it proceeds. The great man knew not that he was great. It took a century or two for that fact to appear. What he did, he did because he must; it was the most natural thing in the world, and grew out of the circumstances of the moment. But now, every thing he did, even to the lifting of his finger or the eating of bread, looks large, all-related, and is called an institution.

6. The following statements are wrong EXCEPT _________.

A. Only the thing that is profitable profits.

B. If the pages do not instruct you, they will not die like flies in the hour.

C. Only the statement, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy your reader’s curiosity, is fit to be made public.

D. He that writes by himself writes to an eternal public.

7. “How much water does it draw?” means__________.

A. How much content does it have?

B. How much influence does it exert?

C. How much value does it have?

D. How important is it?

8. A writer’s fame is decided upon by __________.

10. The permanence of all books is fixed by__________.

Text C

Psychologists study memory and learning with both animal and human subjects. The two experiments reviewed here show how short-term memory has been studied.

Hunter studied short-term memory in rats. He used a special apparatus which had a cage for the rat and three doors. There was a light in each door. First the rat was placed in the closed cage. Next one of the lights was turned on and then off. There was food for the rat only at this door. After the light was turned off, the rat had to wait a short time before it was released from its cage. Then, if it went to the correct door, it was rewarded with the food that was there. Hunters did this experiment many times. He always turned on the lights in a random order. The rat had to wait different intervals before it was released from the cage. Hunter found that if the rat had to wait more t han ten seconds, it could not remember the correct door. Hunter’s results show that rats have a short-term memory of about ten seconds.

Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 students at the University of California in Los Angeles. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, advanced, and native-speaking students.

To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Some of them had four unrelated choices. For instance, weather, method, love, result could be used as four unrelated words. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.

Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their shot-term memory.

11. In hunter’s experiment, the rat had to remember_________.

A. where the food was

B. how to leave the cage

C. how big the cage was

D. which light was turned on

12. Hunter found that rats_________.

A. can remember only where their food is

B. cannot learn to go to the correct door

C. have no short-term memory

D. have a short-term memory of one-sixth a minute

13. Henning tested the students’ memory of _________.

A. words copied several times

B. words explained

C. words heard

D. words seen

14. Henning concluded that beginning and advanced students________.

A. have no difficulty holding words in their short-term memory

B. differ in the way they retain words

C. have much difficulty holding words in their short-term memory

D. hold words in their short-term memory in the same way

15. The following statements are wrong EXCEPT_________.

A. The rat could find the correct door when the light of the next door was turned off

B. The rat could find the correct door to get the food whenever it was released from its cage

C. Each of the three doors had a light that was turned on

D. The rat could remember where to find the food if it waited for less than ten seconds

V. Summary (10')

How New York Became America's Largest City

In the 18th century New York was smaller than Philadelphia and Boston.Today it is the largest city in America.How can the change in its size and importance be explained？

To answer this question we must consider certain facts about geography，history，and economics.Together these three will explain the huge growth of America s most famous city.

The map of the Northeast shows that four of the most heavily populated areas in this region are around seaports.At these points materials from across the sea enter the United States，and the product of the land are sent there for export across the sea.

Economists know that places where transportation lines meet are good places for making raw materials into finished goods.That is why seaports often have cities nearby.But cities like New York needed more than their geographical location in order to become great industrial centers.Their development did not happen simply by chance.

About 1815，when many Americans from the east coast had already moved toward the west，trade routes from the ports to the central regions of the country began to be a serious problem. The slow wagons of that time，drawn by horses or oxen，were too expensive for moving heavy freight very far. Americans had long admired Europe's canals.In New York State a canal seemed the best solution to the transportation problem.From the eastern end of Lake Erie all the way across the state to the Hudson River there is a long strip of low land.Here the Erie Canal was constructed. After several years of work it was completed in 1825.

The canal produced an immediate effect.Freight costs were cut to about one-tenth of what had been.New York City，which had been smaller than Philadelphia and Boston，quickly became the leading city of the coast.In the years that followed，transportation routes on the Great Lakes were joined to routes on the Mississippi River.Then New York City became the end point of a great inland shipping system that extended from the Atlantic Ocean far up the western branches of the Mississippi.

The coming of the railroads made canal shipping less important，but it tied New York even more closely to the central regions of the country.It was easier for people in the central states to ship their goods to New York for export overseas.

Exports from New York were greater than imports.Consequently，shipping companies were eager to fill their ships with passengers on the return trip from Europe.Passengers could come from Europe very cheaply as a result.

Thus New York became the greatest port for receiving people from European countries. Many of these people remained in the city.Others stayed in New York for a few weeks，months，or years，and then moved to other parts of the United States.For these great number of new Americans New York had to provide homes，goods，and services.Their labor helped the city be come great.

高级英语lesson2原文及其翻译

“Hiroshima! Everybody off!” That must be what the man in the Japanese stationmaster's uniform shouted, as the fastest train in the world slipped to a stop in Hiroshima Station. I did not understand what he was saying. First of all, because he was shouting in Japanese. And secondly, because I had a lump in my throat and a lot of sad thoughts on my mind that had little to do with anything a Nippon railways official might say. The very act of stepping on this soil, in breathing this air of Hiroshima, was for me a far greater adventure than any trip or any reportorial assignment I'd previously taken. Was I not at the scene of the crime? The Japanese crowd did not appear to have the same preoccupations that I had. From the sidewalk outside the station, things seemed much the same as in other Japanese cities. Little girls and elderly ladies in kimonos rubbed shoulders with teenagers and women in western dress. Serious looking men spoke to one another as if they were oblivious of the crowds about them, and bobbed up and down re-heatedly in little bows, as they exchanged the ritual formula of gratitude and respect: "Tomo aligato gozayimas." Others were using little red telephones that hung on the facades of grocery stores and tobacco shops. "Hi! Hi!" said the cab driver, whose door popped open at the very sight of a traveler. "Hi", or something that sounds very much like it, means "yes". "Can you take me to City Hall?" He grinned at me in the rear-view mirror and repeated "Hi!" "Hi! ’ We set off at top speed throug h the narrow streets of Hiroshima. The tall buildings of the martyred city flashed by as we lurched from side to side in response to the driver's sharp twists of the wheel. Just as I was beginning to find the ride long, the taxi screeched to a halt, and the driver got out and went over to a policeman to ask the way. As in Tokyo, taxi drivers in Hiroshima often know little of their city, but to avoid loss of face before foreigners, will not admit their ignorance, and will accept any destination without concern for how long it may take them to find it. At last this intermezzo came to an end, and I found myself in front of the gigantic City Hall. The usher bowed deeply and heaved a long, almost musical sigh, when I showed him the invitation which the mayor had sent me in response to my request for an interview. "That is not here, sir," he said in English. "The mayor expects you tonight for dinner with other foreigners or, the restaurant boat. See? This is where it is.” He sketched a little map for me on the back of my invitation. Thanks to his map, I was able to find a taxi driver who could take me straight to the canal

一、前言 ２０世纪中后期，受后现代主义思潮影响，西方外语教学研究从“教学法”时代逐渐过渡到“后方法”（ｐｏｓｔ－ｍｅｔｈｏｄｐｅｄａｇｏ－ｇｙ）时代，研究重点从对“方法”的探讨逐步扭转为对“途径”的摸索，即从追求教学方法的改革、寻求最佳教学法等方面转移到教学过程与教学效果众多影响因素的分析，同时重新定义了教学参与者的身份、设定了基本参量、也制定了外语教学的相关策略。这股理论研究新思潮为我国二语习得研究大讨论提供了崭新的视角，也为我国英语专业技能必修课——高级英语课程的教学改革研究提供了一条新的发展思路。 二、“后方法”时代西方外语教学研究核心理念 语法翻译法在西欧国家确定其统治地位后的一百多年里，一直都备受国内外应用语言学者和外语教学研究者的关注，相关理论流派层出不穷。然而，究竟哪种教学法最有效、最具有普适性，人们的观点莫衷一是。随着大量定性研究和教学实践的开展，越来越多的学者和外语教师发现，对教学法的幼稚盲从和对“最佳教学法”的执拗寻求已将外语教学研究带入误区，过多关注教学方法的多元性和开放性，而忽略了其相对性和特定性。 国外学者Ｓｔｅｒｎ首先认识到了以往外语教学理论研究的局限性，提出外语教学三维框架，着手分析外语教学环节中的诸多因素，将教师视为教学研究、实践和理论研究的综合体，充分肯定了教师的主动性和创造性，打破了之前视教师为教学理论被动接受者和刻板执行者的思维定式。他认为，研究和实践的重点应放在师生对语言课堂生活质量的理解上，而不是输出质量的简单考察，教学的本质是个互动性的多元交往过程。Ｋｕｍａ－ｒａｖａｄｉｖｅｌｕ将宏观策略框架与上两位学者的主要观点相结合，整理出经典的“后方法”外语教学理论框架，即以教师自主为核心，以特定性、实践性和社会可行性为原则，“鼓励教师建构自己的 教学理论，推动基于对当地语言、社会文化和政治特征正确理解之上的语境语言教学”。 三、“后方法”时代下的高级英语课程特征分析 １．高级英语课程属性。高级英语是英语专业高年级的一门必修课，是基础阅读课的深化和延伸。它与综合英语课程的不同之处在于：（１）教材选取文章多为名篇佳作，且内容多样、题材广泛、视角开阔，语言文字更地道凝练，具备较强的思想深度，注重东西方文化的介绍和传播；（２）注重学生综合英语技能的培养，除语言运用、对美文佳作的分析鉴赏、逻辑思维等能力外，更强调了“获取知识—运用知识—分析问题—独立提出见解—创新”能力链条的建构；（３）对教师的综合素质提出了更高的要求。教师不仅需具备驾驭语言文化的能力，还需要统筹教学环节，要学会引领学生深入探索思辨。 ２．教学对象特点以及市场需求。高级英语课程的授课对象是高校英语专业大三、大四的学生，经过前两年的学习，学生应已具备较扎实的语言基本功、积累了一定的跨文化知识，并在综合能力和素质方面得到了锻炼。在接下来的两年里，他们必须进一步奠定坚实的语言基础、完善英语应用能力，并努力提升包括知识面、分析解决问题的能力、思想道德素质、专业素质、身心素质等在内的核心竞争力，以顺应社会的需求，迎接未来的挑战。他们的学习需求、个人发展需求和社会需求密切联系，在英语专业学生的未来工作中，知识和技能的高效输出能力是用人单位极为重视的，因而学校在教学中应着重此方面的训练。 ３．教师特征和定位。“后方法”时代背景下，外语教学的理论研究呈现出日益浓厚的人本主义取向，外语教师的个人特征、发展和需求受到了前所未有的关注，其中对教师的信念研究、教学文化情境、教师行动研究等是目前研究的热点。近些年，高教体制中对教师教学能力和学术能力的双重要求和较高的考核标 ［摘要］外语教学理论研究已进入“后方法”时代，研究重点已不再拘泥于过去具体的教学法，而应着重从宏观的教学策略和途径探索出发。文章以此为视角，基于对课程属性、师生双方特征和现实需求的角度展开分析，同时结合国内外相关理论成果，试提出一些适合我国高级英语课程的教学策略。 ［关键词］高级英语课程“后方法”时代教学策略 ［作者简介］谢峤（１９８３－），女，天津人，天津理工大学外国语学院，讲师，硕士，研究方向为应用语言学与外语教学。（天津 ３００１９１） ［课题项目］本文系天津市高等学校人文社会科学研究项目“后方法时代高校大规模英语课堂教学策略与管理模式建构研究”（项目编号：２０１１２２０１）和天津理工大学教学改革项目“《大学英语》大班教学策略与课堂管理模式研究”（项目编号：ＹＢ１１－５１）的阶段性研究成果。 ［中图分类号］Ｇ６４２．３［文献标识码］Ａ ［文章编号］１００４－３９８５（２０１２）３６－０１４０－０２ “后方法”时代高级英语课程教学研究 谢峤

2014高级英语第一册课文翻译

2014高级英语第一册课文翻译 第一课中东的集市 中东的集市仿佛把你带回到了几百年、甚至几千年前的时代。此时此刻显现在我脑海中的这个中东集市，其入口处是一座古老的砖石结构的哥特式拱门。你首先要穿过一个赤日耀眼、灼热逼人的大型露天广场，然后走进一个凉爽、幽暗的洞穴。这市场一直向前延伸，一眼望不到尽头，消失在远处的阴影里。赶集的人们络绎不绝地进出市场，一些挂着铃铛的小毛驴穿行于这熙熙攘攘的人群中，边走边发出和谐悦耳的叮当叮当的响声。市场的路面约有十二英尺宽，但每隔几码远就会因为设在路边的小货摊的挤占而变窄；那儿出售的货物各种各样，应有尽有。你一走进市场，就可以听到摊贩们的叫卖声，赶毛驴的小伙计和脚夫们大着嗓门叫人让道的吆喝声，还有那些想买东西的人们与摊主讨价还价的争吵声。各种各样的噪声此伏彼起，不绝于耳，简直叫人头晕。 随后，当往市场深处走去时，人口处的喧闹声渐渐消失，眼前便是清静的布市了。这里的泥土地面，被无数双脚板踩踏得硬邦邦的，人走在上面几乎听不到脚步声了，而拱形的泥砖屋顶和墙壁也难得产生什么回音效果。布店的店主们一个个都是轻声轻气、慢条斯理的样子；买布的顾客们在这种沉闷压抑的气氛感染下，自然而然地也学着店主们的榜样，变得低声细语起来。 中东集市的特点之一是经销同类商品的店家，为避免相互间的竞争，不是分散在集市各处，而是都集中在一块儿，这样既便于让买主知道上哪儿找他们，同时他们自己也可以紧密地联合起来，结成同盟，以便保护自己不受欺侮和刁难。例如，在布市上，所有那1些卖衣料、窗帘布、椅套布等的商贩都把货摊一个接一个地排设在马路两边，每一个店铺门面前都摆有一张陈列商品的搁板桌和一些存放货物的货架。讨价还价是人们习以为常的事。头戴面纱的妇女们迈着悠闲的步子从一个店铺逛到另一个店铺，一边挑选一边问价；在她们缩小选择范围并开始正儿八经杀价之前，往往总要先同店主谈论几句，探探价底。 对于顾客来说，至关重要的一点是，不到最后一刻是不能让店主猜到她心里究竟中意哪样东西、想买哪样东西的。假如让店主猜中了她所要买的商品的话，他便会漫天要价，而且在还价过程中也很难作出让步。而在卖主那一方来说，他必须竭尽全力地声称，他开出的价

基于职教云平台的高职英语对分课堂教学模式初探

龙源期刊网 https://www.wendangku.net/doc/5011966185.html, 基于职教云平台的高职英语对分课堂教学模式初探 作者：曾峥 来源：《新教育时代·学生版》2019年第41期 摘要：本文根据对分课堂的教学理念，依托职教云平台，探索高职对分课堂教学模式的实施思路，通过开展“职教云+对分课堂”的高职英语教学实践，发现这种创新教学模式能激发学生的学习兴趣，培养学生的自主学习能力，提高课堂教学质量。 关键词：职教云高职英语对分课堂 作为高职院校一门重要的公共课程，高职英语教学秉承着“实用为主、够用为度”的教学理念，承载着把学生培养成具有一定语言交流技能和应用实践能力的重要任务。但一直以来，由于高职学生英语基础参差不齐，普遍基础薄弱;教学模式又趋于传统单一，无法有效激发学生的英语学习动机和提高学生的自主学习能力，影响了学生英语水平和综合能力的全面提升。因此，为了深化教学改革，实现教学目标，在学生能力培养方面获得更好的效果，复旦大学的张学新教授积极探索、大胆尝试了一种国内新形式的课堂讨论模式，他将传统的直接讲授式课堂与国外流行的讨论式课堂相结合，创造了对分课堂教学新模式。 一、对分课堂（PAD） 2014年复旦大学张学新教授在《对分课堂：大学课堂教学改革的新探索》一文中首次提 出了对分课堂教学模式的概念[1]，其核心理念是把一半课堂时间分配给教师进行讲授，另一 半时间分配给学生以讨论的形式进行;在时间上分为三个过程，讲授（Presentation）、内化吸 收（Assimilation）和讨论（Discussion），因此对分课堂也可简称为PAD课堂。其显著特点是在强化学生个性化吸收基础上，采用“隔堂或当堂讨论”的方式，让学生自觉接受和内化知识。杨淑萍[2]等在《对分课堂教学模式及其师生角色分析》中提出，对分课堂教学模式是以学生 为中心，以师生之间、生生之间交互式学习为主要课堂形式的新型教学模式。国内课程与教学论著名学者田慧生院长在《对分课堂之大学英语》[4]后序中指出，对分课堂是通过对教与学 核心关系的巧妙调整，使课堂实现“以教为主” 向“以学为主”的系统性转变。这一新颖的方法，提高了学生学习的积极性和参与度，减轻了教师的教学负担，为推进课堂教学改革开辟了新的路径。 二、职教云平台 随着信息技术的发展，“互联网+”时代的到来，网络在线教学平台和教学资源极大地改变着我们的课堂教学模式。近两年来，许多研究和实施对分课堂的教育工作者也将研究方向倾向

青年人的四种选择 Lesson 2: Four Choices for Young People 在毕业前不久，斯坦福大学四年级主席吉姆?宾司给我写了一封信，信中谈及他的一些不安。Shortly before his graduation, Jim Binns, president of the senior class at Stanford University, wrote me about some of his misgivings. 他写道：“与其他任何一代人相比，我们这一代人在看待成人世界时抱有更大的疑虑……同时越来越倾向于全盘否定成人世界。” “More than any other generation,”he said, “our generation views the adult world with great skepticism…there is also an increased tendency to reject completely that world.” 很明显，他的话代表了许多同龄人的看法。 Apparently he speaks for a lot of his contemporaries. 在过去的几年里，我倾听过许多年轻人的谈话，他们有的还在大学读书，有的已经毕业，他们对于成人的世界同样感到不安。 During the last few years, I have listened to scores of young people, in college and out, who were just as nervous about the grown world. 大致来说，他们的态度可归纳如下：“这个世界乱糟糟的，到处充满了不平等、贫困和战争。对此该负责的大概应是那些管理这个世界的成年人吧。如果他们不能做得比这些更好，他们又能拿什么来教育我们呢？这样的教导，我们根本不需要。” Roughly, their attitude might be summed up about like this: “The world is in pretty much of a mess, full of injustice, poverty, and war. The people responsible are, presumably, the adults who have been running thing. If they can’t do better than that, what have they got to teach our generation? That kind of lesson we can do without.” 我觉得这些结论合情合理，至少从他们的角度来看是这样的。 There conclusions strike me as reasonable, at least from their point of view. 对成长中的一代人来说，相关的问题不是我们的社会是否完美（我们可以想当然地认为是这样），而是应该如何去应付它。 The relevant question for the arriving generation is not whether our society is imperfect (we can take that for granted), but how to deal with it. 尽管这个社会严酷而不合情理，但它毕竟是我们惟一拥有的世界。 For all its harshness and irrationality, it is the only world we’ve got. 因此，选择一个办法去应付这个社会是刚刚步入成年的年轻人必须作出的第一个决定，这通常是他们一生中最重要的决定。 Choosing a strategy to cope with it, then, is the first decision young adults have to make, and usually the most important decision of their lifetime. 根据我的发现，他们的基本选择只有四种： So far as I have been able to discover, there are only four basic alternatives: 1）脱离传统社会

高级英语学习方法

《高级英语》的学习方法漫谈 学习方法的重要性不言自明，学习方法得当，有利于培养和提高学习活动中的各种学习能力，从而有助于加速学习进程。常有学生询问“如何才能迅速提高英语水平”、“英语学习有什么捷径”等等，严肃认真的英语教师很难回答这样宽泛的问题，学生也很难得到满意的回答。其实，学习英语根本没捷径可言，但“授人以鱼不如授人以渔”。因此，我们拟结合多年教学经验，就学习《高级英语》这门课程提供一些建议或者称作方法。 我们认为，学生在学习该课程时往往存在一些误区，例如：（1）在课外阶段，学生沿袭基础英语阶段的学习习惯，精力集中在查单词、找例句、抄词典，忽视词义的选择。查完课文中所有的生词也就意味着预习的结束。（2）在课上阶段，学生多

逐句理解，忽略背景知识、篇章意义；重视词汇短语和难句的解释，忽略课文结构、课文主题、写作过程的分析；满足于对课文的字面理解，不求隐含、引申意义，不求批判性思考。总的来说，学生仅仅把该门课当成是基础英语的延伸，结果常抱怨“学不到东西”、“英语水平没提高”，影响了学生的学习能力和自信心。老师也认为学生在口、笔头表达上仍然没条理、没逻辑，对课文的主题等宏观理解问题知之甚少，就是所谓的“见木不见林”，达不到“高级”的要求。目前，有些学校由于各种原因采用了大班授课的方式，学生的自主学习以及学习方法就更加重要。学生该怎么学《高级英语》要学什么首先，必须弄清《高级英语》这门课的性质。《高级英语》是英语专业三、四年级主干课，《高等学校英语专业教学大纲》中规定:“高级英

语是一门训练学生综合英语技能尤其是阅读理解、语法修辞与写作能力的课程。课程通过阅读和分析内容广泛的材料,包括涉及政治、经济、社会、语言、文学、教育、哲学等方面的名家作品,扩大学生知识面,加深学生对社会和人生的理解,培养学生对名篇的分析和欣赏能力、逻辑思维与独立思考的能力,巩固和提高学生英语语言技能。”由此看来，这门课除了和其它课程一样担负着发展学生的人文素质的任务外，从英语学习的角度看，还要巩固和提高学生英语语言技能，即听、、说读、写、译的能力。然而，学生面临的新任务是发展“对名篇的分析和欣赏能力、逻辑思维与独立思考的能力”。为此，学生要实现几个转变：从低年级那种机械性的“词汇—语法—练习”学习为主转移至课文分析与理解为主；从对课文的字面理解为主转移
