英语高级口译资格证书考试（高级阅读教程）

　　《高级阅读教程》可供一学期教学使用，共分为十六课。考虑到每周教学为三课时，每一课分为READINGA和READINGB（个别课文包括READINGC）两部分，多数是将与主题有些相关的文章编入一课内。除了政治、文化等背景的介绍和语言点的教学外，教师还可以就某些题目引导学生开展讨论，并就学生的口头回答与书面回答进行必要的辅导。此外，在每一课后面还附录了BACLGROUNDKNOWLEDGE和FURTHERREADING两部分材料。BACKGROUNDKNOWLEDGE部分收集的材料包括英美国家政治、文化、教育、社会等背景情况介绍，内容不求其全，但求实用。FURTHERREADING部分仍是从英美报刊上选辑的，这是因为考虑到读者直接接触英语报刊机会较少，时间也较有限，同时也是为了扩大读者的阅读量，培养阅读的兴趣。教师如认为有必要，也可将FURTHERREADING中的部分文章在课堂上使用，或是将部分主题相近的文章结合起来进行讨论分析。
