大学英语阅读教程（下）

　　《大学英语阅读教程（修订版）（上）》在原版教材基础上根据教育部最新《大学英语课程教学要求》修订而成，旨在帮助非重点高等院校学生巩固并熟练应用在基础阶段所学的英语语言知识和阅读技能，进一步扩大英语学习者在政治、经济、文化、生活、科技方面的英语词汇，提高阅读能力和翻译能力。教程中的所有材料均选自国外最新报纸、杂志，内容广博，题材广泛，语言规范，寓知识性、趣味性、前沿性、思想性于一体。在编写过程中，我们充分考虑了目前非重点高等院校学生的英语实际水平和大学英语教学要求，在单元安排、内容取舍、体例结构上注意区分教学层次，根据由浅人深、循序渐进、方便教学的原则安排教学内容。本教程的每个单元都围绕一个主题展开。所有主题均属当今政治、经济、文化、生活、科技发展的前沿，具有强烈的时代气息。教材将语言学习贯穿在了解、思考、探讨现实生活中的各种问题的过程中。每个单元分为两个部分：主课文（Text A）和副课文（Text B）。每篇课文开始前均有“课文导读”，课文后均附有“生词表”、“注释”和“练习”。
