内容简介
听力是英语教学中四项基本技能之一,也是中国学生的一个难点。突破这个难关不仅有助于其它单项技能的训练,同时也为培养学生的英语交际能力奠定一个良好的基础。在国家教委最近颁布的《高等学校英语专业基础阶段英语教学大纲》和《高等学校英语专业高年级英语教学大纲》中,对于大学一、二、三、四年级学生在听力方面应该达到的标准都作出了详细的规定。Listen to This 就是按照这两个大纲的要求,根据中国英语教学的特点而编写的一套听力教程。
整套教程共分为三册。第一册适合大学一年级学生或英语初学者使用;第二册的对象是大学二年级学生和有中等英语水平的自学者;第三册可供大学三、四年级学生和有较高英语水平的自学者使用。每册均含《学生用书》(Student's Book)和《教师用书》(Teacher's Book),功用不同,相辅相成。《学生用书》以录音材料中的生词表、文化背景注释和配套的练习为主。《教师用书》则包含录音和书面材料、练习答案和相关文化背景知识的补充读物。
和国内现有的听力教程相比,Listen to This 有以下几个特点:
1.教程的第三册适合英语专业高年级学生使用,以达到教委大纲中第六级和第八级对听力的要求。
2.内容新颖,听力材料均选自八十年代后期国外的有声资料。
3.录音以标准的美国音或英国音为主,声音清晰。
4.练习形式活泼。练习的设计参考了美国TOEFL考试和英国 Cambridge Certificate考试的形式,并增加了是非题、填充题、听写、讲座摘抄记和根据笔记回答问题等多种形式。
5.《教师用书》中的补充读物均摘自英美报刊和书籍,不仅能够为教师备课提供必要的历史文化背景,也可以作为学生的课外阅读材料,以扩大学生的知识面。
以上特点不仅使该教程适合课堂教学,同时也为英语专业学生和社会各层次的英语爱好者提供了自学的良好模式。
Listen to This2适用于大学二年级学生和有一定基础的英语自学者。录音材料选自八十年代中期以来英美的录音材料。全书共有36课课文,每课由三个部分组成。形式活泼多样,涉及了日常生活和社交活动的各个方面,不仅有助于提高学生的听力技能,也有益于提高学生的英语交际能力。全书的课文按录音材料的难..

Task:In the Path of the Earthquake
Reporter:And now, Mrs Skinner, can you tell us your story? What happened at your farm when the earthquake passed?
Mrs Skinner: Oh, it was terrible. I'll never forget it to my dying day. I hope I never see anything like that again. It was terrible. Well, we always get up,Jack and me, at about quarter to five. He has to milk the cows early, you see, and while he's doing that I make his breakfast. I was in the kitchen when it came. Suddenly the whole house was moving. The noise was terrible. Well, I knew what I had to do. You have to get outside, you know, it's safer there. So I ran through the house and opened the front door. Then I stopped - I couldn't believe it - everything was different, everything had changed, nothing was in the right place any more. You know outside our house there is a path to the gate - there was I
