序言
古人云:“熟讀唐詩三百首,不會作詩也會吟。”古人又云:“讀書破萬卷,下筆如有神。”英倫名仕弗朗西斯·培根爵士亦云:“Reading maketh a full man.”(讀書使人完美。)英語中更有格言,日:“:Reading is to the mind what exercise to the body.”(閱讀之於心靈,猶如運動之於身體。)
學習一門語言,閱讀和背誦是兩件很重要的事情。
閱讀可以使人明理,使人睿智。在閱讀的過程中,我們感知語言的美,感悟語境的美。通過閱讀,我們培養語感,積累素材;通過閱讀,我們體驗文化,訓練思維。
背誦可以使人博古通今,使人雄辯。在背誦的過程中,我們體驗英語的用詞習慣,感受英語的行文習慣。通過背誦,我們鞏固辭彙,強化寫作;通過背誦,我們提升思維,拓展自我。
為了給高中學生的英語學習提供閱讀和背誦的材料,我們經過一年多的籌備,組織來自
杭州外國語學校等一批名校的中學特級、高級教師和優秀的中學一級教師,編寫了《英語經典美文誦讀》(高一年級、高二年級)。
本書選材時充分考慮了《高中英語課程標準》的要求和現行人教版英語教材的語法、辭彙及話題,所選文章題材新穎、體裁廣泛、循序漸進、難易適當、語言優美、朗朗上口。
高一年級有Living Well、Time and Space、Science and Technology、Change、Experience和Faith and Confidence等六個話題共六十篇.高二年級有Art、Education、Nature、Peace、Success和W .is dom等六個話題共六十篇。其中,每篇文章對生詞均有注釋(音標、詞性、英漢雙語解釋),重點突出優美的句子,還有對文章的鑑賞(多數文章從內容和寫作兩方面分析)。
書中如有不當之處,敬請批評指正。
