圖書序言
《大學英語系列教材》是以教育部新頒布的《大學英語課程教學要求》(試行)為依據,根據重慶地區大學英語教學實際情況和學生英語水平編寫的。在組織編寫前,我們先後對重慶地區300多名學生和100多名教師進行了問卷調查,充分了解了大學英語教與學的實際情況和師生的真正需求。基於調查結果和教學要求,我們確定了書目,並為每一本書制定了詳細的編寫計畫和方案。在編寫過程中,我們不斷地將所編寫的部分用於教學實踐,並不斷對其進行修正。參加系列教材編寫的人員均為重慶市有著豐富大學英語教學經驗和教材編寫經驗、熟諳教學法與語言習得理論、科研成果突出的教師。可以說,這套教材凝聚了重慶市大學英語教師多年的教學經驗、心得體會和研究成果。
本系列教材具有以下特點:
1.在編寫中充分考慮重慶地區學生英語學習的特點,即語言基礎知識較紮實,但聽、說、讀、寫、譯等綜合運用能力,尤其是聽說能力普遍較差。無論從教材選材、難易度還是內容體系上,我1門都從重慶地區學生的實際出發,認真篩選,精心設計o
2.本系列教材既注重教師課堂使用,又注重學生課外自學,將課堂內外很好地結合起來。首先,它便於教師課堂操作。如系列教材中的《大學英語課堂限時閱讀》、《大學英語CET一4考前衝刺》裝訂形式靈活,可以拆卸,教師可以在每次安排課堂限時閱讀或綜合訓練時,隨堂哿課文和練習發給學生。其次,它便於學生課外自學。系列教材中的《大學英語課堂限時閱讀》、《大學英語閱讀進階》、《大學英語自主聽力》等分冊每單元的材料除了足夠教師課堂使用以外,還留有大量的閱讀、聽力等練習供學生課外操練。
3.本系列教材以培養學生紮實的語言技能、提高學生全面套用能力為主要目標,同時兼顧提高其四、六級考試應試能力。本系列教材注意吸收我國長期在大學英語教學和教材編寫中積累的經驗,同時採納國外先進的教學理論和方法,保證了教材編寫的科學性和合理性,以利於學生紮實、有效地從各個方面提高英語套用能力。同時,我們在編寫系列教材的練習時,有意識地哿題型向全國大學英語四、六級考試靠攏,以增強學生的應試能力,並在某些分冊中對應試技巧給予適當的講解。這當然不是提倡應試教育,而是以素質教育為基礎,對學生進行應試方面的指導。更何況,全國大學英語四、六級考試是英語運用能力的考試,引導學生向其靠攏,反過來會促進學生語言能力的提高。

[1]Some people think that the best time to begin studying a foreign language is in childhood.and that the younger you ate,the easier it is to learn another language.There is little evidence,however,that children in language classrooms learn foreign languages any better than adults(people over age 15)in similar classroom situations.In fact,adults have many advantages over children:better memories,more efficient ways of organizing information,longer attention spans,better study habits,and greater ability to handle complex mental tasks.Adults are often better motivated than children:they see learning a foreign language as necessary for education or career.In addition,adults age particularly sensitive to correctness of grammar and appropriateness of vocabulary,two factors that receive much attention in most language classrooms.
[2]Age does have some disadvantages,however.For instance,adults usuany want to learn a foreign language in a hurry,unlike children,who can devote more time to language mastery.Also,adults have complex communication needs that extend beyond the mere ability to carry on a simple conversation.Adults need to be able to argue,persuade,express concern,object,explain,and present information about complex matterS that pertain to their work or education.Because most adults do not like to appear foolish,they often deny themselves opportunities to practice for fear of making mistakes,not getting their message across,or appearing ridiculously incompetent.Also aduhs have more trouble than children in making new friends who speak the foreign language.
[3]One example usually given to support the notion of children's superiority,aS language learners is their ability to pick up an authentic accent.It is usually observed that children of immigrants learn to speak the language of their adopted country without an accent.whereas their parents rarely do.It is also observed that even adults with high need and motivation,such as diplomats,rarely learn a foreign language without retaining some of tIIeir native accent. In a sense,the same is true in sports:to learn well the complex coordination of the hundreds of muscles needed to play tennis,swim,or figure skate.a pemon has to start young.Most champions begin training at an early age.
