Hi, welcome to our college. You will spend at least four years here. College days will be the golden years of your life. There are many opportunities for you to explore the unknown and you can experience a lot. You can make lifelong friends; you can enjoy various kinds of ac tivities; you can develop your personal interests; and you will meet some outstanding Scholars Keep a good balance and lay a solid foundation. There are many doors to your dreams. You decide how many you can open.

First time There’s a proverb that says: “All great journeys start with a dream.” Today it seems there are so many people who just exist they have no goals, no desires, no aspirations, or no dreams. Do you have a dream? Have you taken the first step of your journey? If not, I challenge you to make today your turing point and defining moment in your life. There are so many who have had dreams and gone on to live them. A great artist once said: “The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.” If you allow the brilliance and genius within you to spring forth your life will take on new meaning and impact —for yourself and for your world. What is your dream? Identify it and make it real Make today your turning point in defining your life.

TGIF (Thank God it’s Friday)! What’s your spare time gig? What’s your spare time gig? clubs and societies? Sports ? Basketball ? Come on, guys! We are the best of CUBA! (I love this game!) Prefer to stay in the dorm listening to music ? What’s that? Michael Learns to Rock or Backstreet Boys? party time again. Meet people and make new friends. Oh? You’d rather just hang out? You won’t be bored anyhow .

How do you understand the idea of living on your own? You may have felt very much 1.on

your own when you left home to enter college. A free bird out of its cage , now, eh? Is it really so? Think again. Are you able to pay the tuition by yourself? Can you really take care of all your

daily needs? “I sure can. It’s a snap,” some might say. “Just find a part-time job, and everything

will be OK.” Others may find traditional college life quite safe and convenient. Are you ready to take the risk?

What are your key sources of information? Do you get most of your information by talking to other people? People could already do that in the Stone Age. When the printing press was invented several hundred years ago, written sources became important to anyone who could read. Now we read magazines and newspapers as much as we read books. But we also get a lot of information from electronic sources. Radio is not yet 100 years old, television has only been popular for about 50 years, and the . Internet

is younger than all the students in this class. Yet these are some of our favorites. What you’re your favorites ? How many different sources of information do you use in a typical day?

Everyone can do volunteer work. In fact, volunteers don’t get paid, but the rewards from their deeds are priceless and highly appreciated. One single volunteer is like a candle in the night for those who are in darkness. Certainly, as an individual we can’t do everything on our own but we should try to do whatever we can. Imagine the power of thousands of “candles”, and the great difference it will make in peopl e’s lives. As for those who bring light into the lives of others, surely someday they too may be in need of that same light they offered. Be a volunteer and feel the light.

Book I译文(大学体验英语)英语第一册

Book I Unit 1 College Life A篇学无止境 故事发生在一所东部大学里。那是终考的最后一天。一幢教学楼的台阶上围着一群大四的工科生，都在谈论即刻就要开始的考试。他们脸上都带着自信。这是毕业前的最后一场考试了，考完后，即是毕业典礼。然后他们将各奔前程。 话题转到了工作上，有的谈起了找好的工作，有的则谈论着要找的工作。4年的大学学习给了他们自信，使他们觉得自己足以征服世界。 眼前这场考试，不过是一碟小菜罢了。老师已经说过可以携带所需的任何书本或笔记，只要不在考试时交头接耳就行了。 学生们兴高采烈地步入教室。试卷发下来了。看到只有5道论述题，他们一个个脸笑上开了花。 3小时过去后，老师开始收卷。学生们先前的那份自信再也看不到了，而是满脸惊慌。老师握着试卷，面对全班，大家都沉默不语。 她扫了一眼眼前这一张张不安的脸，问道："5道题全答完的有多少？" 没人举手。 "做完4道的有多少？" 还是没人举手。 "3道呢？两道呢？" 学生们再也坐不住了。 "那么一道呢？总有做完一道的吧。" 教室里依然鸦雀无声。老师搁下试卷，说道："这我早料到了。" "我只是想让你们牢牢记住，即使你们已经完成了4年工科学习，这个领域你们还有很多东西要学。其实，你们答不出的这些问题在日常生活中很常见。"她笑了笑，接着说，"这门课你们都能通过，但要记住，你们虽然已经大学毕业，但学习才刚刚开始。" 多年后，我已忘了这位老师的姓名，但牢牢记住了她的教诲。 B篇回眸大学 4年的时光已经过去，这一刻终于来临了。不到两周，我就要毕业了。此刻回想起来，我仍不敢相信时光飞逝如斯。我依然记得第一天去上课时的情景，我一边望着课表背面的地图，一边打听教学楼在哪儿。现在我已是大四的学生，常会以羡慕的眼光看着一年级的新生。每天我都祈愿时间会凝滞，接下来的两周过得更慢一些。许多我认识的人都迫不及待地想要毕业，我却恰恰相反。我宁愿时光倒流，再度重温大学生活的每一天。 大学生活使我学到了许许多多，而且大都是在课外学到的。大二的生活也许是我生命中最值得留念的一段。正是这一年，我终于让妈妈相信我住校没有问题，她终于让我去了。正是这一年，我结交了一些终身好友，历经多次的成功与失败使我对自己有了更多的了解。大二生活还有着种种新的尝试，到山地去野营，把信手涂鸦的诗投到报社，还在课堂上给老师画漫画。 走在校园熟悉的路上，不知不觉中就陷入了深深的反思和对往昔的回忆中。发觉自己好想从头来过，再次体味大学生活的欢娱和激动。一想到毕业心里就一阵阵恐慌。从记事起我就一直在读书。我觉得还有很多东西想学，可是却不得不毕业了。世界如此之大，可能发生的事情太多太多。过去4年中，我一直被一张安全的网包围着。学生这个身份总能让人感到欣慰，使我可以躲开外面世界的无情现实。 不到两周就要离校了，每每想到就要毕业，我就打心眼儿里感到不安。因为我从记事起就一直是名学生。我觉得自己是在回避毕业。每当别人问起我大学毕业后打算做什么，我就想大声尖叫，我不知道以后想做些什么。甚至不敢想像早上醒来没有课上会是什么样的情形。

Unit 1 The Evolving Notion of Home “Home, sweet home” is a phrase that expresses an essential attitude in the United States. Whether the reality of life in the family house is sweet or not so sweet, the ideal of home has great importance for many people. This ideal is a vital part of the American dream. This dream, dramatized in the history of nineteenth-century European settlers of the American West, was to find a piece of land, build a house for one’s family, and start a farm. These small households were portraits of independence: the entire family — mother, father, children, even grandparents — living in a small house and working together to support each other. Everyone understood the life-and-death importance of family cooperation and hard work. Although most people in the United States no longer live on farms, the ideal of home ownership is just as strong in the twentieth century as it was in the nineteenth. When U.S. soldiers came home after World War II, for example, they dreamed of buying houses and starting families. So there was a tremendous boom in home building. The new houses, typically in the suburbs, were often small and nearly identical, but they satisfied a deep need. Many saw the single-family house as the basis of their way of life. For the new suburbanites of the 1950s and 1960s, however, life inside their small houses was very different from life on a farm. First, the family spent much less time together in the house. The father frequently drove, or commuted, as much as an hour to work each morning. The children went to school all day and played after school with neighborhood children. The suburb itself was sometimes called a bedroom community because people used their houses basically for sleeping. Second, the suburb was not a stable community: Families moved frequently as the fathers sought upward mobility — better-paying jobs and bigger houses. Although the idea of home was still as precious as always, it had taken on a different meaning. In the 1970s and 1980s, as more women entered the labor force, the family spent even less time together. But the picture is changing: People can now telecommute, or work at home, while being linked to the office by means of their computers. More and more people can now stay at home. So the old expression could change from

公共英语>>>大学体验英语（1）责任教师：徐薇 浙江广播电视大学《大学体验英语1》课程教学大纲 普通专科班非英语专业 责任教师：徐薇 为指导浙江广播电视大学非英语专业大学英语教学，特制订本大纲。大纲的各项规定可作为大学英语教学安排、教材编写、教学质量检查的依据。 一、教学对象 本课程为公共英语课，教学对象是浙江广播电视大学非英语专业的学生。 二、教学目的 大学英语教学的目的是，培养学生具有较强的阅读能力和一定的听、说、写、译能力，使他们能用英语交流信息。大学英语教学应帮助学生掌握良好的语言学习方法，打下扎实的语言基础，提高文化素养，以适应社会发展和经济建设的需要。 三、教学要求 本课程采用由宁春岩主编，由高等教育出版社出版的《大学体验英语》系列教材第一册。本课程参照《大学英语教学大纲》对各级的要求，分为1—6级。每级由《综合教程》、《扩展教程》、《听说教程》以及配套的多媒体学习课件、网络课程以及电子教案等组成。教学要求如下： 1、词汇：在二级的基础上掌握550-600单词(其中18%可通过泛读和其他学习项目掌握) 以及由这些单词构成的常用词组。对其中300左右的常用词要求拼写正确，并掌握它们的基本用法。 2、读：精读量:7000-8000词;泛读量:30000-35000词。能正确理解与课文难度相仿的文章。学会基本阅读技能,阅读速度达到每分钟65词。阅读难度略低、生词不超过总词数3%的材料,速度达到每分钟65词,理解准确率以70%为合格。

3、听：能听懂英语讲课及简短会话、谈话和讲座，抓住中心大意、要点和有关细节，领会作者观点和态度。对题材熟悉、句子结构比较简单、基本上没有生词、语速每分钟约120词的听力材料, 两遍可以听懂, 理解准确率以70%为合格。 4、写：能在阅读难度与课文相仿的书面材料时做笔记、回答问题和写提纲，能就一定的话题和提纲在半小时内写出100词左右的短文，能写短信和便条。表达意思清楚，无重大语法错误。 5、说：能进行简单的日常会话, 能就教材内容作简短问答和复述。能就熟悉的话题作简短发言，表达思想基本清楚。 四、教学安排 学期总学时综合教程课程应不少于72学时，每周应不低于4学时。听说课程不少于36学时，每周不低于2学时。地方电大可根据实际情况适当增加学时, 课内外学习时数的比例应不低于1：2。 五、测试 1、测试是检查教学大纲执行情况、评估教学质量的一种有效手段，是获取教学反馈信息的主要来源和改进教学工作的重要依据。语言测试应重点考核学生的语言基础和语言应用能力。测试要做到科学、公平和规范。 2、本课程的测试按教学大纲的要求进行，每学期安排一次，由浙江广播电视大学统一命题。期末测试内容紧密结合所学的教材，尽量结合大学英语水平等级考试的题型。期末测试成绩占学期总成绩的80%。，平时成绩占20%，由地方电大的英语老师给出平时成绩，记入学期总成绩。（平时成绩=形成性考核成绩，由书面作业和口试两部分组成） 3、各地方电大可以统一组织学生参加省内三级水平测试。有条件的电大应组织学生参加四级水平测试。 六、教学原则与方法建议 1、重视打好语言基础，注意提高文化素养。 大学英语教学必须把重点放在打好语言基础上。语言基础包括语言知识和语言应用能力，前者指语音、语法和词汇等方面的知识，后者指综合运用这些知识进行读、听、说、写、译等语言活动的能力。正确的语音语调、扎实的语法、一定的词汇量和熟练的词汇运用能力的提高有助于提高外语学习的效率，有利于提高语言运用能力。语言运用能力的提高又必将促进语言知识的加深和巩固。 大学英语教学还应有助于学生开阔视野，扩大知识面，加深对世界的了解，借鉴和吸收外国文化的精华，提高文化素养。文化与语言有密切的联系，一定的文化背景知识有助于促进语言应用能力的提高。 2、重视培养实际运用语言进行交际的能力。 语言是交际工具，语言教学的最终目标是培养学生以书面或口头方式进行交际的能力。因此，在教学过程中既要传授必要的语言知识，也要引导学生运用所学的语言知识和技能进行广泛的阅读和其他语言交际活动。教学活动要有利于语言技能的培养和功能意念的理解及表达。不仅要重视句子水平上的语言训练，还要逐步发展在语篇水平上进行交际的能力。

Unit1 蛙的故事 最近发生了几桩怪事儿。 我在北威斯康星州的树林中有一座小木屋。是我亲手搭建的，前面还有一间花房。住在里面相当惬意。实际上我是在户外做音频制作和环境方面的工作--作为干这一行的工具，我还装备了一间带电脑的工作室。 还有一只树蛙也在我的工作室中住了下来。 去年十一月，我第一次惊讶地发现他（只是这样称呼罢了，事实上我并不知道该称“他”还是“她”）坐在电脑的音箱上。我把他放到花房里去，认为他呆在那儿会更舒服一些。可他又跑回来呆在原地。很快我就习惯了有他做伴，清晨我上网查收邮件和阅读新闻的时候，他也在一旁关注这个世界。 可上周，我突然对这个爬上爬下的“小绿人或小灰人”产生了好奇心。 于是有一天，我正在工作室里干活，电脑嗡嗡作响。当树蛙从我面前爬过时，我不得不停止工作。他停下了并转过身来，坐在那儿看着我。好吧，我也干脆停下来望着他。五个月了，他一直这样陪着我。我突然有一股强烈的欲望想了解他：为什么他要呆在这儿而不乐意呆在花房里？我认为对树蛙来说，花房显然要舒适得多。 “你为什么呆在这儿？”我情不自禁地问他。 我目不转睛地盯着他，他也直视着我。然后我听到一种叮咚声。这种声音似乎一下子就进入了我的大脑中枢，因为它和电脑里发出来的声音十分接近。在那个声音里我听到树蛙对我“说”：“因为我想让你明白”。唷，太不可思议了。“明白什么？”我脑海中突然跳出了这个问题。然后经过短暂的体验这种交流之后，我觉得我已经理解了树蛙待在这儿的原因。我开始理解树蛙只是想听到其他同类的叫声并并与之交流。或许他误以为计算机发出的声音就是其他树蛙在呼唤他。 真是有趣。 我继续工作。我正在写一个关于全球气候变化的故事。有个朋友刚好发过来一份传真，说地球的温度正以每十年1.9度的速度上升。我知道，照这种速度下去，每年春天我都爱去提取树浆的这片枫林，到我孩子的那一代就将不复存在。我的故乡美丽的威斯康星州也会在下一代变成一片草原。 此刻，树蛙从我脚背跳过去站在电脑前的地板上。然后他伸出手来从后面拢起左耳凝神倾听，接着他又站在电脑前伸出右手拢起另一支耳朵。他这样转动着脑袋，聆听那个声音，非常专心致志。他的皮肤起了微妙的变化，呈现出一种亮丽的绿色，然后他就用尽全力跳到电脑上。 我猛然想起去年在收音机里听到的一则关于青蛙的消息，说是全世界的青蛙正在死亡。消息说因为青蛙的皮肤就像是一个内里朝外的肺，所以正在受到污染和全球气候变化的影响。据说已经发现有些青蛙的皮肤已变得像纸一样干瘪。还说青蛙是一个"物种指示器"，由于对环境敏感，这个物种会先遭灭顶之灾。 这时我明白了。 青蛙向我们传递了一个信息。一些头脑清醒的人士也曾向我们传递过同样的信息，那就是"我们别无选择。"我们已经进入了关键时刻，为了人类的子孙后代，也为青蛙，我们必须对这个星球负起主人的责任。 因为我们休戚相关。
