《英語聽說教程(第4冊)(附MP3光盤1張)》是為體育院校英語專業(yè)學(xué)生編寫的綜合英語教程。課文內(nèi)容廣泛,涉及政治、歷史、倫理、文化、教育、體育、家庭等諸多領(lǐng)域,在培養(yǎng)學(xué)生聽說讀寫譯各項技能的同時滲透體育元素、人文精神。在學(xué)習(xí)英語的同時,學(xué)生可進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)展視野,熟悉體育,提高人文素養(yǎng)。本教程還適于體育、傳媒、翻譯等專業(yè)的學(xué)生及研究生使用。 本教程是為體育院校英語專業(yè)學(xué)生編寫的聽說教程。課文選材廣泛,有英語國家人士的日常對話,也有英美國家電臺及電視臺的新聞節(jié)目,并適量增加體育新聞、即席評論及解說等第一手資料。每單元分為聽說兩大模塊,根據(jù)中國學(xué)生的特點編排學(xué)習(xí)重點,安排教學(xué)任務(wù),編寫有關(guān)練習(xí),提高學(xué)生在真實語境中的聽說能力。本教程還適于體育、傳媒、翻譯等專業(yè)的學(xué)生及研究生使用。
從2002年開始,國內(nèi)的體育院校紛紛開設(shè)了體育英語專業(yè),培養(yǎng)在體育領(lǐng)域從事對外交流工作的國際體育人才。經(jīng)過五年多的發(fā)展,體育英語專業(yè)既顯示出強(qiáng)大的生機(jī)和活力,又面臨著諸多困難,首要的問題就是教材問題。目前,體育英語專業(yè)大多在技能類課程,特別是基礎(chǔ)階段課程中沿用了全國統(tǒng)編英語專業(yè)教材。這些教材選材精當(dāng)、設(shè)計合理,對夯實學(xué)生語言基本功起到了巨大作用。但是體育英語專業(yè)有其專業(yè)的特色,因此,從2004年開始,我們就著手策劃編寫一套供體育英語專業(yè)學(xué)生使用的系列教材,并于2007年獲得北京高等教育精品教材立項。此系列教材包括基礎(chǔ)階段的《綜合英語教程》、《英語聽說教程》、《英語閱讀教程》和高級階段的《體育英語閱讀》等,首批推出的是基礎(chǔ)階段的《綜合英語教程》和《英語聽說教程》。
經(jīng)教育部批準(zhǔn)的《高等學(xué)校英語專業(yè)英語教學(xué)大綱》指出:英語專業(yè)學(xué)生應(yīng)具有扎實的語言基本功、寬廣的知識面、一定的相關(guān)專業(yè)知識、較強(qiáng)的能力和較高素質(zhì)。基礎(chǔ)階段各教程正是按照這一培養(yǎng)目標(biāo)編寫的。各教程立足于加強(qiáng)學(xué)生語言基本功.在培養(yǎng)語言基本功的同時滲透體育元素、人文精神,以提高學(xué)生的體育知識水平和人文素養(yǎng),并在設(shè)計中力圖培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的跨文化交際能力和獨立思維能力。同時.本系列教材的一個突出特點是將各門課程的同一單元統(tǒng)一于一個話題,學(xué)生在“綜合英語”、“英語閱讀”、“英語聽說”課程中同步圍繞一個話題進(jìn)行不同的技能訓(xùn)練,也使得他們能從不同角度認(rèn)識同一問題。
《英語聽說教程》共4冊,本書為第四冊,內(nèi)有12個單元。每單元的主題與《綜合英語教程》的主題相同,但內(nèi)容的取材原則體現(xiàn)不同的重點。本教程集聽說于一體。學(xué)習(xí)者既可接受大量相關(guān)話題的信息輸入,又可圍繞話題進(jìn)行討論增強(qiáng)其口語表達(dá)能力。在教學(xué)安排上,每單元計劃6學(xué)時完成。
聽力材料的選擇以短小精悍、難度適中的國外原版材料為主,兼顧材料的多樣性、信息性、知識性和趣味性及語言的真實性與實用性,避免枯燥。每次課都有新的內(nèi)容,有效地避免了各門課程脫節(jié)的問題。
本教程強(qiáng)調(diào)多種目的聽說訓(xùn)練,以便學(xué)習(xí)者適應(yīng)不同內(nèi)容、不同形式的英語。整冊書中編排有多種體裁的英語聽說材料。為提高學(xué)生的新聞英語聽力的能力,每單元安排3-5條新聞聽力練習(xí),同時注重體育新聞聽力訓(xùn)練。與前三冊相比,本冊最為突出的特點是增加了體育評論部分的內(nèi)容。

Transcript
The Board typically exercised its broad discretion in 1997, the 150th anniversary ofPulitzer's birth, in two fundamental respects. It took a significant step in the recognition ofthe growing importance of work being done by newspapers in online journalism. Beginningwith the 1999 competition, the Board sanctioned the submission by newspapers of onlinepresentations as supplements to print exhibits in the Public Service category. The Board leftopen the distinct possibility of further inclusions in the Pulitzer process of online journalismas the electronic medium developed. Thus, with the 2006 competition, the Board allowedonline content in all 14 of its journalism categories and said it will continue to monitor thefield.
The other major change was in music, a category that was added to the Plan of Awardfor prizes in 1943. The prize always had gone to composers of classical music. The definitionand entry requirements of the music category beginning with the 1998 competition werebroadened to attract a wider range of American music. In an indication of the trend towardbringing mainstream music into the Pulitzer process, the 1997 prize went to WyntonMarsalis's “Blood on the Fields,” which has strong jazz elements, the first such award. Inmusic, the board also took tacit note of the criticism leveled at its predecessors for failure tocite two of the country's foremost jazz composers. It bestowed a Special Citation on GeorgeGershwin marking the 1998 centennial celebration of his birth and Duke Ellington on his1999 centennial year. In 2004, the Board further broadened the definition of the prize and themakeup of its music juries, resulting in a greater diversity of entries. In 2007, the music prizewent to Ornette Coleman for “Sound Grammar,” the first live jazz recording to win theaward. The Board also awarded posthumous Special Citations to jazz composers TheloniousMonk in 2006 and John Coltrane in 2007.
