大學英語快速閱讀1(第二版)（簡體書）

《大學英語快速閱讀1(第2版)》內容簡介：《大學英語快速閱讀教材系列》是根據教育部頒布的《大學英語教學基本要求》以及大學英語四、六級考試最新題型而編寫的。改革后的大學英語考試題型更注重掃讀和尋讀能力的培養，并增加了閱讀的篇幅，改進了閱讀理解題型，要求學生在15分鐘之內完成約1000個單詞文章的閱讀量。傳統的閱讀教材在閱讀篇幅、閱讀時間以及閱讀理解題型方面都很難滿足新的要求。為了適應大學英語四、六級考試的新變化，我們及時修訂了《大學英語快速閱讀教材系列》。
本教材有以下幾個特點：首先是緊扣最新變化，無論是閱讀篇幅還是題型都嚴格按最新大學英語四級考試要求編寫。其次是選材多樣，內容新穎，信息量大，所選短文全部是近兩年英美正式發表的，以介紹英美社會、人文、習俗等背景知識為主，每單元以一個話題為中心。我們的編寫宗旨是不以應試為目的，而是給學生提供高質量的英語閱讀文章，使學生在愉快的閱讀中，欣賞美文，開闊視野，并在不知不覺中掌握閱讀技能，尤其是快速閱讀技能。為此，我們在每單元中添加了英語閱讀技能介紹，以期從理論和實踐兩個方面提高學生的閱讀能力。最后，本教材適合于課堂和自學兩種教學模式。每單元由四篇文章組成，前兩篇為課內閱讀，由教師按規定的時間安排隨堂練習，有計劃、有步驟地培養學生的閱讀技能；后兩篇文章為課後閱讀，可作為課後作業和學生自主學習材料，進一步強化和鞏固課內所學的知識。
相信通過學習本教材，學生能更迅速和更有效地掌握英語閱讀技能。
