英文美文選讀(附1MPS光碟)（簡體書）

隨著社會的發展，國家對高等教育質量與人才培養模式提出了更高的要求，強調提高學生的綜合素質，培養人文精神和創新能力。大學選修課因而也越來越受到高校教學主管部門、廣大教師和學生的重視，以往那種把開設選修課僅僅是為了完成學分的觀點被徹底顛覆。大學階段的英語課程不僅是一門語言課程，也承擔著幫助學生開拓視野、增強能力、提高素養的任務。目前，多數高校的大學英語教學注重的是一、二年級的基礎教學, 忽視應用教學和三、四年級的英語後續學習。但隨著社會的發展，就業壓力的增大，也隨著經濟和生活質量的提高，越來越多的教師及學生都把選修課看作是拓展知識面，提高綜合能力，以便能更快更好地適應社會的一種手段。
