介绍
本书由北京大学张砚秋教授主编。教师用书同步出版。
《大学英语》泛读教程第六册在本次修订时,听取了使用院校的意见,压缩的篇幅,由每册十个单元压缩到八个单元,每单元仍保留三篇课文。每一个单元的第一课内容更精彩,使用时可着重处理。
每篇课后有三种练习,一是阅读练习,二是翻译练习,三是读后思考的写作练习。翻译练习和读后思考的写作练习是为锻炼学生综合应用能力而设的。阅读练习是一定要做的,翻译练习和读后思考的写作练习可根据个人需要和能力,或全做或选做一部分。为了提高学习兴趣,每四个单元后增加一个自测练习,备有供休闲阅读的篇章,学生可自己检查阅读能力的提高。
泛读教程力求为英语学习提供阅读的园地,注重培育学习兴趣,有助于学生课外积极主动地进行学习,以达到巩固词汇、拓宽知识面、熟悉英语国家文化的目的。
