电大英语报刊选读课程导学
一、课程总的概况
课程领域概括
这是英语教学中的一门不能或缺的课程。通过学习本课程，使学生掌握常见报刊词汇，报刊文章标题的翻译，学会看懂较简单的英语报刊文章。通过阅读英语报刊了解国际时事，了解各国的政治，历史、文化、教育、人民和国家概况等与英语学习有关的背景知识。以利学生进一步巩固和提高英语学习，培养学生英语阅读的能力。
目标引导
本课程的教学目的是通过学生自主学习及教师的导学和助学（包括面授辅导），使学生掌握常见报刊词汇，报刊文章标题的翻译，学会看懂较简单的英语报刊文章。通过阅读英语报刊了解国际时事，了解各国的政治，历史、文化、教育、人民和国家概况等与英语学习有关的背景知识。进一步巩固和提高学生英语阅读理解和简单翻译的能力。
二、使用学习资源
1．根据主教材学习
1．本课程采用的文字主教材为《美英报刊文章阅读》（精选本第二版），及上海电视大
学外语系编辑的报刊活页。本课程教学安排为一学期。课内学时为72，共4学分，（每
周4学时）。《美英报刊文章阅读》共30课，选其中10为必学内容，其余内容供学生
自学，10课必学内容为Lessons1,3,4,8,10,13,14,19,24,26。以上10课用10周学完。每
周一课。
2．本教材课文并非按语言难易循序渐进，而是按内容编写，学生自学时有一定难度。
学生学习时重点是根据教师的导学，掌握一定的英语报刊常见词汇，基本会看懂报刊
文章的大意；通过翻译报刊标题了解报刊大致内容；通过阅读英语报刊文章了解国际
时事、各国的历史、文化、风俗、习惯，掌握相关的信息。因此阅读和理解是重点。
教师助学时应着重帮助学生掌握重点，分析讲解难点，而语法分析、语言点的掌握不
作要求。建议学生在课后以练习为线索，多看看英语报刊文章。考前复习也是以练习，常见词汇和推荐的英语报刊文章为主。
3．本课程实际是泛读快速阅读训练的混合型课程。泛读是一门进行大量阅读实践的
课程，应该突出"泛"的特点。本课程培养的是阅读能力，注重的是面的理解，整体的
理解，而不停留于那些对理解无关紧要的细节上。
4．学生应按教学计划完成各阶段的阅读任务。在独立进行阅读时，学生应努力根据
上、下文及背景知识解决所遇到的问题或难点，尽可能少查词典，如需要查词典时，
也应尽可能使用英英词典。
5．阅读速度训练应按循序渐进的原则安排阅读难度与阅读量，逐步进行强化式训练。
训练时应注重介绍一些常见的技巧，如浏览、略读、复读等。在平时教学过程中，也
会向学生推荐一些英文报刊上难度适当的文章，供学生阅读。
2．根据辅教材学习
报刊活页共10课，用5周学完。余下3周用于期中考试及期末总复习。
3. 其它媒体教材
多读英文报纸，如CHINA DAILY， SHANGHAI STAR等

The Decline of Neatness 行为标准的蜕化 By Norman Cou s ins Anyone with a passion for hanging labels on people or things should have little difficulty in recognizing that an apt tag for our time is the “Unkempt Generation”. 任何一个喜欢给别人或事物贴标签的人应该不难发现我们这个时代合适的标签是“邋遢的一代”。 I am not referring solely to college kids. The sloppiness virus has spread to all sectors of society," People go to all sorts of trouble and expense to look uncombed, unshaved. unpressed.3 我说这话不仅仅是针对大学生。邋遢这种病毒已经蔓延到社会各个部分。人们刻意呈现一幅蓬头散发、边幅不修、衣着不整的形象。 The symbol of the times is blue jeans—not just blue jeans in good condition but jeans that are frayed, torn, discolored. They don't get that way naturally. No one wants blue jeans that are crisply clean or spanking new. 如今时代潮流的象征是穿蓝色牛仔裤--不是完好的牛仔裤，而是打磨过的，撕裂开的，和褪色了的牛仔裤。正常穿着磨损很难达到上述效果。没有人喜欢穿干净崭新的牛仔裤。 Manufacturers recognize a big market when they see it, and they compete with one another to offer jeans（that are made to look as though they've just been discarded by clumsy house painters after ten years of wear. ）生产商意识到这将是个潜力巨大的市场，于是展开了激烈地竞争，生产出的

福建广播电视大学2014—2015学年度第二学期“开放专科”期末考试 英语报刊选读模拟试题 2015年7月 I. Translate the following into Chinese 40% 1. Popular vote 2. Joint venture 3. Cover Story 4. most favor nation trading status 5. Stealth Bomber 6. Lobbyist 7. The House of Lord 8. the House of Commons 9. Senate 10. Secretary of State II. Read the following passage and then choose the right answer to each question 30% GOING BACK AND GETTING IT RIGHT By almost every measure, Paul Pfingst is an unsentimental prosecutor. Last week the San Diego County district attorney said he fully intends to try suspect Charles Andrew Williams, 15, as an adult for the Santana High School shootings. Even before the tragedy, Pfingst had stood behind the troversial California law that mandates treating murder suspects as young as 14 as adults. So nobody would have wagered that Pfingst would also be the first D.A. in the U.S. to launch his very own Innocence Project. Yet last June, Pfingst told his attorneys to go back over old murder and rape victions and see if any unravel with newly developed DNA-testing tools. In other words, he wanted to revisit past victories--this time playing for the other team. "I think people misunderstand being servative for being biased," says Pfingst. "I sider myself a pragmatic guy, and I have no interest in putting innocent people in jail." Around the U.S., flabbergasted defense attorneys and their jailed clients cheered his move. Among prosecutors, however, there was an awkward pause. After all, each DNA test costs as much as $5,000. Then there's the unspoken risk: if dozens of innocents turn up, the D.A. will have indicted his shop. But nine months later, no budgets have been busted or prosecutors ousted. Only the rare case merits review. Pfingst's team siders victions before 1993, when the city started routine DNA testing. They discard cases if the defendant has been released. Of the 560 remaining files, they have re-examined 200, looking for cases with biological evidence and defendants who still claim innocence. They have identified three so far. The most compelling involves a man serving 12 years for molesting a girl who was playing in his apartment. But others were there at the time. Police found a small drop of saliva on the victim's shirt--too small a sample to test in 1991. Today that spot could free a man. Test results are due any day. Inspired by San Diego, 10 other counties in the U.S. are starting DNA audits.
