前言

进入21世纪以来,我国的研究生教育有了蓬勃的发展,研究生招生规模不断扩大。随着本科阶段《大学英语课程教学要求》的实施和大学英语教学改革的日益深入,研究生教育也面临着新的挑战。为了顺应新的形势,改革研究生英语教学,提高研究生英语教学质量,我们依据各校的教改经验以及“中国高等学校研究生外语教学研究会”在全国开展的广泛的社会调查报告精

神,编写了这套《新发展研究生英语综合教程》(下称《综合教程》),希望促进研究生英语教学改革,切实培养和提高广大研究生的英语运用能力。

《综合教程》为研究生英语基础阶段的教材,它以培养研究生运用英语读、说、写的综合能力为主要目标,通过强化语言的输入和各种交互活动或任务,最大化地将输入的语言转换成已掌握的语言。《综合教程》以阅读材料的主题为主线,强化读、说、写综合训练,从而提高学生实际运用语言知识和语言技能的能力。《综合教程》不囿于孤立地强调“精读”,而是注重主题

的兴趣性、哲理性和可思性,提供承载这些内容的可理解性的语言输入,通过各种交互活动,促进研究生英语读、说、写能力的发展。

目前,研究生英语教学改革亟待解决的两大问题

一是要重视学生英语运用能力的培养。学习英语的目的是为了使用英语,理解是使用,表达也是使用。对于英语学习者来说,后者要困难得多,其发展也滞后于前者。所以表达能力的培养是学生迫切需要解决的一个问题。

二是要从学生的实际出发,因材施教。研究生入学时英语水平差异很大。按部就班、齐头并进式的教学将导致时间和精力的浪费。为更好地解决这两个问题,《综合教程》在强调综合能力培养的同时,突出了说、写能力的培养。在保证学生大量阅读的同时,每个单元依据文章叙述的主题,设计了各种交互活动和任务,以保证学生在使用语言中学习语言。考虑到入学时的英语水平存在差异,《综合教程》编有三册,第一册以相当于大学本科英语四级的水平标准为起点。各册既循序渐进,又相对独立,涵盖了研究生课程班、专业学位硕士研究生、硕士生和博士生的

新发展研究生英语综合教程2

整个基础英语阶段,各学校可以根据学生的实际水平以及学时安排,在教学中有选择地使用。可循序使用三册或其中的两册,甚至一册。

学生用书构成

《综合教程》每册书由8个单元组成。每单元设计了一个主题,并围绕特定主题安排内容和设计任务。每单元分别由Pre-reading Activities,Text,Exercises,Oral Practice,Writing Project和Further Reading六大部分组成,需要6个学时完成教学。具体来说,每个单元由下述部分构成:

Further Reading

Pre-reading

本部分通常有1~2个和课文主题有关的热身活动,从心理上和语言上帮助学生进入学习状态,同时借助各种交互活动提高学生口头表达能力。

Text

《综合教程》的选材绝大部分来自近年出版的英美原著,涉及当前社会、文化、政治、教育、科技、经济等方面的热门话题,体现了很强的现实性、社会性和学术性。同时选材紧扣学生生活,饶有趣味,有益于启迪思维。《综合教程》共分三册。每册较之前一册,文章的长度及语言的难度和深度有明显的增加,课文的内容更为广泛,生词量逐册增加。学生在语言知识与能力

Preface前言

不断提高的过程中,知识面也在不断地扩大,从而在不同的问题上都能够较熟练地用英语来表达自己的思想,为下一阶段的学习打好坚实的基础。其中Notes部分为课文中重要的文化背景知识和一些重要语言点简单扼要的注释。

Exercises

本部分由Post-reading Activities和Language Focus两个板块组成。前者精心设计了一些练习,侧重于帮助学生从点到面理解课文的内容,并将课文的内容作进一步的拓展;后者主要侧重于帮助学生复习、巩固本单元新学的词汇和词组。

Oral Practice

本部分三册重点各不相同。第一册注重学生的日常交流;第二册注重Presentation Skills的

培训,希望学生能具备初步地在国际会议上用英语宣读自己论文的能力;第三册注重学生Oral Defence and Debating的能力训练。

Writing Project

本部分三册的侧重点也不相同。第一册注重句子和段落的写作训练;第二册注重各类应用文的写作训练;第三册侧重一般短文的写作训练。

Further Reading

本部分补充了与课文主题相关的阅读文章,配有文化背景及生词的注释和检测学生阅读理解的练习。

使用建议——致学生

鉴于研究生具备了知识面宽、思考能力强的特点,教师在教学中不应局限于语言知识的传授,而应侧重于语言知识的综合运用。教师应作为各种交互活动的组织者和指导者,引导学生利用自己现有的语言知识积极参与教学的全过程,以便在学习中运用语言,在语言运用中进一步培养和提高自己的语言能力。学生应积极参与各项教学活动,并做到以下几点:

1.完成Pre-reading Activities规定的任务。课前充分准备,初步了解课文内容,在课堂上做有准备的发言。

2.主动去图书馆或上网寻找与本课主题相关的资料,摘抄有关词组或表达法,补充或启发新思想、新观点,丰富自己的表达,充实讨论内容。

3.自学课文后的Useful Expressions,Notes和Further Reading中的文章,为上课时积极参与教学活动做好准备。认真大声朗读并背诵有关段落和名言警句,这对英语学习也是非常有裨益的。

使 用 建 议 —— 致 教 师

在组织教学活动中,建议整个课文教学过程按照课后Comprehension 部分设定的步骤进行。 因为Comprehension 练习设计的指导思想是除了检查学生对课文的理解外,更重要的是能起到导 教、导学的作用。因此这部分练习应与教师的课文讲解紧密结合,以练习带讲解,不宜在课文讲 解之后孤立使用。在Comprehension 练习中可能有部分问题没有提供答案,因为这些问题仅供学 生讨论之用,学生可以根据自己的不同阅历和思想给出不同的答案,以达到讨论的目的。做完 这一步仅仅意味着阅读过程的结束,在此基础上教师可根据学生的情况,做有关的语言知识点 的检查或讲解。这项工作大致包括:An Oral Summary of the Text ,Sentence Paraphrasing ,Long Sentence Translation into Chinese ,Useful Sentence Pattern Imitation (from Chinese into English ) 等。Vocabulary ,Cloze 等练习由教师自定方式进行。为了帮助学生更好地了解课文的语篇结构和 主题的发展、全面理解课文,我们设计了课文提纲练习(Outline ),教师可以在要求学生完成课 文提纲的基础上让学生写提要(Summary ),也可要求学生根据提纲口头复述课文内容。在Oral Practice 部分,教师可以按照活动的要求和提供的材料,组织学生完成这些任务和活动。在第二 册我们增加了How to Present 。这部分内容主要训练、培养学生演讲、陈述能力。教师可以课堂讲 解、示范,学生课后准备,并在下一次上课时演讲汇报。第三册为Debating Skills, 教师可以根据 教学的进展开展2~3次辩论活动,以运用所传授的辩论技巧。Writing 部分目的是让学生在读、说 的基础上,通过写的方式,把相关内容和观点表达出来。

教 师 用 书 构 成

《综合教程》教师参考书由三大部分组成:Understanding and Learning(About the Author, Information Related to the Text, Language Points),Key to Exercises 和Reading Passage Translation 。 教师参考书中每单元各部分的内容与形式如下:

Pre-reading Activities Exercises Text Further Reading

Preface 前 言

教 师 用 书 编 写 原 则 1. 竭诚为教师服务,努力为教师有效地组织课堂、指导整个教学过程提供便利。因此,在 编排上对所有重点、难点、语言点都标明了在文中的段落,免除教师备课查资料(查找)之苦。 在教学参考内容的选择上,除了练习参考答案之外,还提供文章背景材料,包括与话题密切相关 的人物、机构、公司、事件、历史、典故、作品等的背景知识。 2. 针对课文中有关的语言知识点、难点进行较为详尽的解释或释义,并提供参考例句。由 于注释详尽,教师在使用中有很大的选择余地。 总之,《综合教程》教师参考书的宗旨重在方便教师,减轻教师备课时查资料的负担,以 便集中精力研究教学,把课教好。

Growing Up

?Aβουτ τηε Aυτηορ

Russell Baker (born August 14, 1925): Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, Russell Baker,

was the author of the nationally syndicated Observer column for the New York Times from 1962 to 1998. In addition, as the noted journalist, humorist, essayist, and biographer, he has written

or edited seventeen books. He used good-natured humor to comment slyly and trenchantly on

a wide range of social and political matters. Baker‘s first Pulitzer Prize was for distinguished commentary for his Observer columns (1979) and the second one was for his autobiography, Growing Up (1983). He wrote a sequel to his autobiography in 1989, called The Good Times.

In addition to his regular columns and numerous books, Baker also edited the anthologies, The Norton Book of Light Verse (1986) and Russell Baker’s Book of American Humor (1993). In 1993, he became the regular host of the PBS television series, Masterpiece Theatre. Baker is a regular contributor to national periodicals such as The New York Times Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Saturday Evening Post, and McCalls.

1. Growing Up: Growing Up is Russell Baker‘s memoir which recalls his peripatetic childhood.

It won the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for biography. It traces his youth in rural Virginia, from the death of his father when he was only five through his growing-up years between the wars. The rest

Career职业生涯

of the book is a paean to his mother, a strong-willed optimist who never accepted defeat as an alternative to success. Her unfailing faith in the talents of her young son was not misplaced. This is an iconic and magical piece of literature, a story of courage and love, of the bonds of family in spite of tension and disagreement.

2. The Saturday Evening Post: The Saturday Evening Post is a bimonthly American magazine. While the publication traces its historical roots to Benjamin Franklin and The Pennsylvania Gazette first published in 1728, The Saturday Evening Post, rechristened

under new ownership in 1821 as a four-page newspaper, eventually became the most widely circulated weekly magazine. The magazine gained prominent status under the leadership of its longtime editor George Horace Lorimer (1899–1937). The Saturday Evening Post published current event articles, editorials, human interest pieces, humor, illustrations, a letter column, poetry (including work written by readers), single-panel cartoons and stories by the leading writers of the time. It was known for commissioning lavish illustrations and original works

of fiction. Illustrations were featured on the cover, and embedded in stories and advertising. Some Post illustrations became popular and continued to be reproduced as posters or prints, especially those by Norman Rockwell. Curtis Publishing Co. stopped publishing the Post

in 1969 after the company lost a landmark defamation suit and was ordered to pay over $3 million in damages.

3. The Great Depression: The Great Depression was an economic slump in North America, Europe and other industrialized areas of the world that began in 1929 and lasted until about 1939. It was the longest and most severe depression ever experienced by the industrialized Western world. Though the United States economy had gone into depression six months earlier, the Great Depression may be said to have begun with a catastrophic collapse of stock-market prices on the New York Stock Exchange in October 1929. During the next three years stock prices in the United States continued to fall, until by late 1932 they had dropped to only about 20 per cent of their value in 1929. Besides ruining many thousands of individual investors, this precipitous decline in the value of assets greatly strained banks and other financial institutions, particularly those holding stocks in their portfolios. Many banks were consequently forced into insolvency; by 1933, 11,000 of the United States‘ 25,000 banks had failed. The failure of so many banks, combined with a general and nationwide loss of confidence in the economy, led

to much-reduced levels of spending and demand and hence of production, thus aggravating the

新发展研究生英语 综合教程 2 downward spiral. The result was drastically falling output and drastically rising unemployment; by 1932, t he United States‘ manufacturing output had fallen to 54 percent of its 1929 level, and unemployment had risen to between 12 and 15 million workers, or 25-30 percent of the work force. 4. Curtis Publishing Co.: The Curtis Publishing Company, founded in 1891 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, became one of the largest and most influential publishers in the United States during the early 20th century. The company‘s publications included the Ladies’ Home Journal , The Saturday Evening Post, The American Home, Holiday, Jack & Jill and Country Gentleman . In the 1940s, Curtis also had a comic book imprint, Novelty Press. The company was formed by publisher Cyrus Curtis, who published the People’s Ledger, a news magazine he had begun in Boston in 1872 and moved to Philadelphia in 1876. He had also established the Tribune and Farmer in 1879, from the women‘s section of which he fashioned the Ladies’ Home Journal under the editorship of his wife, Louisa Knapp in 1883. These publications were taken under the imprimatur of the new company. In 1897, Curtis spent $1,000 to buy The Saturday Evening Post , The advent of television in the late 1940s and early 1950s encroached upon the popularity of general interest periodicals like the Post and the Journal , and in March, 1962, Curti s Publishing‘s president Robert A. MacNeal announced that the company had lost money for the first time since its incorporation, more than 70 years before. In 1968, Curtis Publishing sold the Ladies’ Home Journal , along with The American Home , to Downe Communications for $5.4 million in stock. Curtis sold The Saturday Evening Post , the last of its magazines, in 1982.

Part A

Russell Baker had once said: ―Those who deeply loved the new s writing and wanted

to work as reporter had one kind of romantic ideal or dream mostly. They hoped that someday they might become writers like Mark Twain or Hemingway, or become some

big media editor-in-chief, chief reporter. When I was only eight years old, I embarked on journalism and this was my mother‘s idea. She had filled herself with fantasy to life. She

did not want to let me be the same as my father who had worked from dawn to dusk, living the life of toils and leaving behind with us a few pieces of tattered furniture till his death. She expected especially I could make something of myself. After giving me a moderate praise on my gumption she introduced me to The Saturday Evening Post. I begun to sell the newspaper in this way.‖

Part B

经济萧条造成了多么大的影响!雇主们回到了司机的座位自己开车,想改行的人不得不重新学会游戏规则。作为一个经理代理人,我负责高级管理人员的职业安排,对于他们在职业上遇到的最艰难的挑战,我通常了如指掌。在我看来,求职者应该遵循以下几条新规则是有好处的。

让人需要你比让人雇佣你更容易:有一句老话说得好:“先把你的脚跨进门内。”不过,即使想那样做,现在也不容易。因为公司在雇用员工之前完全有条件对求职者进行长时间的仔细考察。有一个解决办法,就是先和公司作某种交易。我的一个客户就与其公司达成一项为公司提供咨询服务的协议,并与公司共同承担风险,如果他能成功,他就会得到一份永久的工作。他这一招还真奏效了。

学会自我欣赏:有位客户在求职面试时颇为沮丧,因为坐在对面负责面试的主管竟然是他以前的下属。其实,这样的事情屡见不鲜。毕竟,在网络行业繁荣的时期,随着不少企业家型人才外流,那些留守员工往往加官进职——很大程度上就是因为他们留下来没有跳槽。像乌龟和兔子赛跑一样,乌龟艰难地爬向终点却乐观自信。在求职市场,要摒弃傲慢,不要目中无人;不要搞小动作。要摆正自己的位置,至于你从前的下属,你以后可以采取回避的方式对待。不过要重新参与竞争,你必须首先回到队伍中。
