重庆大学《大学英语》课程大纲
2003年10月
一、课程的目的、性质和任务：
建立适合我校大学英语教学实际的个性化教学、学习体系，实行分类指导、分层教学的外语教学模式，改革教学方法，建立以学生为主体，教师为主导的新的学习观，实行多媒体环境下的大班教学、以口头交流和写译为主的小班教学以及个别指导和自主学习相结合的教学方式，强调实用性外语教学，突出学生的参与性，教学内容的实用性，教师作用的指导性和教学方式的实践性，使学生在今后的工作和社会交往中能用英语有效地进行口头和书面信息交流，同时增强其自主学习能力和综合文化素养，以适应我国经济发展和国际交流的需要。
二、课程的基本教学要求：
根据教育部《大学英语课程教学要求》，重庆大学大学英语教学应把重点放在打好语言根底上。语言根底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听、说、读、写、译等语言活动的能力。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精华，提高文化素养。
大学英语教学阶段的要求分为四个层次（见表1），即最低要求、一般要求，较高要求和更高要求，根据学生对语言掌握的情况确定教学目标和与此相适应的教材、教学方法和教学进度，依照教学目标组织教学活动，并根据不同要求确定学生学习必修课和选修课的比例，一般说来，除特殊招生的专业学生外，其余学生至少应达到大学英语教学的一般要求，并通过国家四级统考认证。学生本科学习期间英语课程至少完成16个学分，其中，课程学习14个学分，国家四级统考认证通过后取得最后2个学分。
表1：分层次教学模式
三、课程的主要内容：
1. 综合英语1-4，以语言技能为主，注重培养学生的英语听说能力，以及读写译等综合应用能力，包括①语言根底：多媒体环境下以学生为主体，教师为主导的大班教学；②语言应用：小班口语教学，在时间上相对独立，设置上有语音板块，日常英语板块和讨论表达思想板块，从课堂师生扮演的角色来看，教师是课堂的设计者，任务是课堂的中心，学生是课堂任务的实践者；③多媒体自主学习：学生网上和多媒体自主学习中心的自主学习把课堂教学与学生自主学习紧密有效地连接起来，成
为学生提高听力的主要手段；
2．英语提高课程：包括①外国语言文学课程系列；②文化素质教育课程系列；③实用英语课程系列；④科技英语课程系列。旨在加强学生的文学、文化、商务和专门用途知识，学生可根据自己的爱好、特长、专业、市场需求等进行选择，为培养学生必备的文化素养，实用外语和专业外语的实际运用能力提供条件，为大学英语后续课程的学习打下扎实的根底。
四、教学模式：
本课程实行多媒体环境下分类指导、分层教学的教学模式，以各项语言应用能力为主要学习模块，采取基于学习活动的人机交互、师生交互的互动学习模式，将该课程内容分为五大部分：①综合英语课程；②英语提高课程；③语言文化以及学习方法指导讲座；④学生英语学习资源库；⑤网上教室教学指导（见图1）。通过建设多种课程、多种模式和多种学习渠道，构成立体化的语言学习环境，更好地满足不同水平学生的学习需求，实现大学英语教学中“根底加专业、实践加知识、自学加讲解、素质加综合”的有机结合，为学生的大学英语学习实践创造良好的语言环境。
图1：课程构件
五、学时学分：
教育部《大学英语课程教学要求》明确规定，大学英语课程要融入学校的学分制体系，尽量保证在本科总学分中占10%（16学分左右，共228学时），其中，学生在计算机上学习所获学分的比例应占英语学习总学分的30%-50%，学生每学习10-20学时，教师应给予1学时的辅导，教师的面授辅导以小组为主，原则上，每组学生不应超过8人。根据我校的具体情况，目前学生英语自主学习的硬件条件只能达到总学分的25%，故我校大学英语课程学习应为14学分，课堂面授216学时，自主学习72学时，国家四级统考认证2个学分（见表2）。
表2：学时学分分配
六、课程教材：
阅读：《大学体验英语》1-4册《大学英语》（全新版）1-4册
《大学英语新视野》1-4册《当代大学英语》1-4册
听说：大学体验英语听说系统新时代交互英语听说系统大学英语全新版听说教材
七、参考教材：
课外阅读：大学英语阅读进阶1-6册课外听音：大学英语自主听力1-4册
八、考核方式：
大学英语课程实行教考分离制度，取消补考制度，每学期期末举行一次全校性的预备级、一级、二级、三级、四级和所开提高英语课程考试，重点考核学生的语言根底和语言应用能力。测试命题以所学内容为基本依据，由专门小组负责出题、审题，以密封卷形式集体流水阅卷、集体登分，杜绝阅卷舞弊现象，提高阅卷的管理水平。大学英语学生必须参加所选英语课程的考试，成绩合格按规定记学分，不及格者重修。
大学英语测试的形式为笔试和口试、客观题和主观题、网上学习和多媒体自学中心自学记录相结合，除传统的考试方式外，还采用多种测试方式，如综合英语口试可采用朗读、演讲、对话、专题讨论等形式，提高英语笔试可采用写小型论文、读书提要、论文摘要、项目报告、访谈纪要等形式。

江南大学考博英语历年考题汇总附答案
Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions:There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: When Kathie Gifford ’s face was splashed across the newspapers in 1996 after her lucrative line of Wal mart clothing was exposed as the work of underpaid laborers in New York City ’s Chinatown, the Department of Labor and the White House teamed up to condemn such practices. With much fanfare, President Clinton’s administration launched the “No Sweat” campaign, which pressured retailers and manufacturers to submit to periodic independent inspection of their workplace conditions.; This campaign urged manufacturers to sign the Workplace Code of Conduct, a promise to self regulate that has since been adopted by a handful of retailers and many of the nation ’s largest manufacturers, including Nike and L.L. Bean. However, the Department of Defense, which has a $ 1 billion garment business that would make it the country’s 14th largest retail apparel outlet, has not signed the Code of Conduct. In addition, it has not agreed to demand that its contractors submit to periodic inspections.; Because the Department of Defense has not agreed to adhere to the code, the job of stopping public sector sweatshops falls to the Department of Labor. Federal contractors that persist in violating wage laws or safety and health codes can lose their lucrative taxpayer financed contracts. But Suzanne Seiden, a deputy administrator at the Department of Labor, says that to her knowledge, the department has never applied that rule to government apparel manufacturers. “I just assume that they are adhering to safety and health requirements,” she says. According to records obtained by Mother Jones, through a Freedom of Information Act request, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Lion 32 times for safety and health violations in the past 12 years. 21.What is this passgage mainly concerned with? A)The functions of the Department of Labor in America. B)A serious problem threatening American economy. C)The successful attempt of regulating sweatshops in America. D)The seriousness of the problem of sweatshops in America. 22.According to the passage, Kathie Gifford ____. A) was one of the underpaid laborers in New York City’s Chinatown B) was one of the well paid laborers in New York City ’s Chinatown C) made much money from cheap laborers in New York City’s Chinatown D) wrote a newspaper article exposing the practice of employing cheap laborers 23.The underlined p hrase “to submit to” is closest in meaning to ____. A) to accept unwillingly B) to refuse coldly C) to welcome warm heartedly D) to blame strongly 24.Which of the following statements about the Department of Defense is true? A) It will become the count ry’s 14th largest retail apparel manufacturer. B) It hasn’t acted according to the Workplace Code of Conduct. C) It has demanded its contractors to sign the Workplace Code of Conduct. D) It has teamed up with the Department of Labor to launch a campaign. 25.What was the purpose of President Clinton’s administration launching the “No Sweat” campaign? A) To urge manufacturers to obey the Workplace Code of Conduct. B) To remind the manufacturers of the Workplace Code of Conduct. C) To urge the Department of Labor to take its responsibility. D) To urge the Department of Defense to inspect manufacturers. Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: The term investment portfolio conjures up visions of the truly rich-the Rockefellers, the Wal Mart Waltons, Bill Gates. But today, everyone-from the Philadelphia firefighter, his part time receptionist wife and their three children, to the single Los Angeles lawyer starting out on his own-needs a portfolio.; A portfolio is simply a collection of financial assets. It may include real estate, rare stamps and coins, precious metals and even artworks. But those are for people with expertise. What most of us need to know about are stocks, bonds and cash (including such cash equivalents as money market funds).; How do you decide what part of your portfolio should go to each of the big three? Begin by understanding that stocks pay higher returns but are more risky; bonds and cash pay lower returns but are less risky.; Research by Ibbotson Associates, for example, shows that large company stocks, on average, have returned 11.2 percent annually since 1926. Over the same period, by comparison, bonds have returned an annual average of 5.3 percent and cash, 3.8 percent.; But short term risk is another matter. In 1974, a one year $1000 investment in the stock market would have declined to $735.; With bonds, there are two kinds of risk: that the borrower won’t pay you back and that the money you’ll get won’t be worth very much. The U.S. government stands behi nd treasury bonds, so the credit risk is almost nil. But the inflation risk remains. Say you buy a $1000 bond maturing in ten years. If inflation averages about seven percent over that time, then the $1000 you receive at maturity can only buy $500 worth of today’s goods.; With cash, the inflation risk is lower, since over a long period you can keep rolling over your CDs every year (or more often). If inflation rises, interest rates rise to compensate.; As a result, the single most imortant rule in building a portfolio is this: If you don’t need
重庆大学考博高分学习法
重庆大学考博高分学习法—心理篇 孙子兵法中讲,“攻心为上”，“预攻其身，先攻其心”。这就说明，做任何事情首先是要心理上先攻关，空城计就是一个很好的心理战术的运用。考博从一定程度上说也是一个心理战，心理素质好的同学往往更容易应付。可不要小看这一点呀！这是你拼搏的精神支撑。之所以把这点放在最开始，也是基于它重要的战略地位啊！应该怎样具备一个过硬的心理状态，打好这场心理战呢？具体来说，有以下几点供大家参考： 首先，要保持乐观积极的态度。无论你选择的目标的难易程度怎样，无论从客观上来看，你考上的可能性大小怎样，无论你在备考时所处环境的优劣程度怎样，你都要尽量的做到乐观的看待这件事，如果感觉自己的压力过大，不妨给自己设计好考失博败后的退路，这样学习压力会明显减小的。我当时就是给自己做了最坏的打算，就是考不上大不了回家乡支援家乡教育事业，也是很能实现人生价值的嘛！这样想就能让心里轻松许多。如果你感到自己学的不大好，就想别人可能和自己差不多，因为大家复习的时间都是差不多的，智力水平也是差不多的，即使有差距也是有机会赶上的。如果复习的不是太充分，就想还不一定考什么题呢，说不定只考自己复习到的呢，万一上帝怜悯，幸运之神降临， 还能撞进去呢！这不都是可能的吗？作一个乐观向上的人，这样你赢的机会才会大！来源：考试大其次，尽可能的排除外界事务干扰，保持心如直水，不骄不愠，从而减少心理波动因素。这就要 求你在考博期间内，减少交友会友次数，吩咐你的朋友、亲戚尽可能不给自己添麻烦，哪怕是请客吃饭的好事也要减少。还有那些与考博无关的杂事，该减少的都要减少。因为这些事情，看起来是小事，可多起来就会总让自己分心，学习起来心不够静。我采取的方法是提前通知四路友人亲人，没有重大事宜不要通知我，或是来寻求我的帮助，因为我目前只能寻求自保。大家也是很能理解的，就都没怎么烦我，使我安安静静的走过了这段路。更甚至余，我连生日都省略不过了，中午吃了碗面，搞定！牺牲得够彻底吧？联系我们扣扣：四九三三七一六二六。电话：四零零六六八六九七八再次，遇到挫折或失落时，要善于自我调节。要知道，“小不忍则乱大谋”呀！千万不要因为一时的不顺利就倍受打击，情绪低落，灰心丧气。比如说作一套模拟题，打的分很不理想，那有什么呢？只是一套练习题而已嘛，又不是真的考试题，更不是考场实战，也就是这套题发挥的不好而已，或是这套题考中了自己的很多复习漏洞罢了。这种情况谁都会时常碰到的。如果每一次都伤心一次，那我想等考完，一定都博不知道“伤心”二字如何写了。所以，一定要做到心胸宽广，宰相肚里能撑船嘛！ 第四，要有自己的一套心理调节措施，或者说是情绪发泄渠道。因为人不是圣人，再好的心理素 质也有受不了的时候。这时你就要用你自己的方法，适合自己的方法去宣泄内心的不满与压抑，从而 能够尽快的恢复到好的状态。比如说，打电话给友人大发牢骚，在父母面前撒娇，到操场上跑步、打 球，逛街购物，吃最想吃、最喜欢吃的东西，看场电影……方法的选择是因人而异的。对于爱吃甜点 的我可就惨了，可想而知，我的又一大牺牲——体重！ 第五，要有同路人。这一点我认为是很重要的，因为艰辛的道路上是需要大家携手同行的。最让 我感到幸运的是我拥有一个考博寝室，有三个考博姐妹与我共同奋斗，我们相互扶持，相互安慰，相 互鼓励，让我这一路走来从不觉得痛苦和孤独。在校园的路上，在图书馆的自习室里，都能看到我们 四姐妹同甘苦、共患难的身影，这是最让我珍惜和难忘的点滴！这是一种心理上的平和与满足。所以， 考博过程中，你所处的生活环境很重要，你的伙伴也很重要，一定要建立自己的考博同盟军！ 第六，一定要树立阿Q精神，学会使用精神胜利法。具体做法是：每天早晨起床的第一件事就是

2015年考博 单选： 有少部分原题（出自曾建彬《研究生英语》《研究生高级英语》） 阅读理解： 第一篇：Education is one of the key words of our time. A man without an education, most of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances, deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities. Convinced of the importance of education, modern states "invest" in institutions of learning to get back "interest" in the form. of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, punctuated by textbooks—that purchasable wells of wisdom—what would civilization be like without its benefits? So much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births—but our spiritual outlook would be different. We would lay less stress on "facts and figures" and more on a good memory, on applied psychology, and the capacity of a man is to get along with his fellow-citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form. of "college" imaginable. Among tribal people all knowledge inherited by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect every- body is equipped for life. It is the ideal condition of the "equal start" which only our most progressive forms of modern education try to regain. In primitive cultures the obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding to all. There are no "illiterates"—if the term can be applied to peoples without a script—while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1876, and is still non-existent in a number of "civilized" nations. This shows how long it was before we deemed it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge accumulated by the "happy few" during the past centuries. Education in the wilderness is not a matter of monetary means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry, which, in our society, often hampers the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever-present attention of his parents' and therefore the jungles and the savannahs know of no "juvenile delinquency". No necessity of making a living away from home results in neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to "buy" an education for his child.

08重庆大学博士英语考试试题 2008年重庆大学博士入学考试英语试卷 (Time Limit: 180 minutes) Part I: Reading Comprehension 40 % Directions: Read the following passages carefully and then select the best answer from the four choices given to answer the questions or to complete the statements that follow each passage. Write your answer on your Answer Sheet. Passage One Problems and discouragements will face the leader, but he can overcome them with staying power. It seems as if many of the world’s famous people faced some of the greatest difficulties and discouragements in carrying out their visions. Christopher Columbus, for instance, concluded from the information he acquired from his travels and from studying charts and maps, that the earth was round and that he could reach Asia by sailing west. But he needed a patron to finance such an expedition. He first tried John II., King of Portugal, without success, and then, the Count of Medina Celi in Spain. The Count encouraged Columbus for two years, but never actually provided him with the money and supplies he needed. Ferdinand and Isabella, King and Queen of Castile in Spain, were then contacted. A review of Columbus’ plans by a committee appointed by the queen

考博英语（阅读理解）-试卷80 (总分：40.00，做题时间：90分钟) 一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：4，分数：40.00) Too much alcohol dulls your senses, but a study in Japan shows that moderate drinkers have a higher IQ than teetotalers. Researchers at the National Institute for Longevity Sciences in Aichi Prefecture, 250 kilometers west of Tokyo, tested the IQs of 2000 people between the ages of 40 and 79. They found that, on average, men who drank moderately — defined as less than 540 milliliters of sake or wine a day — had an IQ that was 3. 3 points higher that men who did not drink at all. Women drinkers scored 2. 5 points higher than female teetotalers. The type of alcohol didn't influence the results. The volunteers tried a variety of tipples, which ranged from beer and whisky to wine and sake. The researchers are quick to point out that the results do not necessarily show that drinking will make you more intelligent. "It's very difficult to show a cause-effect relationship," says senior researcher Hiroshi Shimokata. "We screened subjects for factors such as income and education, but there may be other factors such as lifestyle and nutritional intake. " Shimokata says that people who drink sake, or Japanese rice wine, tend to eat more raw fish. This could be a factor in enhanced intelligence, as fish often contain essential fatty acids that have been linked to brain development. Similarly, wine drinkers eat a lot of cheese, which is not something Japanese people normally consume or buy. Shimokata says the high fat content of cheese is thought to be good for the brain. If alcoholic drinks are directly influencing IQ, Shimokata believes chemicals such as polyphenols could be the critical factor. They are known to have antioxidant properties and other beneficial effects on ageing bodies, such as dilating constricted coronary arteries. The study is part of a wider research project to find out why brain function deteriorates with age.（分数：10.00） (1).The Japanese study was carried out on______.（分数：2.00） A.the development of IQ B.the secret of longevity C.the brain food in a glass D.the amount of healthy drinking (2).The Japanese researchers found a higher IQ in______.（分数：2.00） A.female teetotalers than in male ones B.female drinkers than in male ones C.moderate drinkers D.teetotalers (3).When he says that it is very difficult to show cause-effect relationship, Shimokata means that______.（分数：2.00） A.the study failed to involve such variables as income and education B.he is doubtful of the findings of the investigation C.there are some other contributing factors D.the results were just misleading (4).From Shimokata's mention of fish and cheese we can infer that in enhancing intelligence______.（分数：2.00） A.sake or wine is a perfect match for fish and cheese B.they promote the drinking effect of sake or wine C.they are not as effective as sake and wine D.sake or wine is not alone (5).Based on the study, Shimokata would say that______.（分数：2.00） A.intelligence improves with age
