然后,再逐段或跳跃式选段对学生需要掌握的内容、新闻词语和背景知识进行阅读和问答式方式讲解。
如果备课充分,学生的英语水平又高,教员可采用美英教员教授母语的方法,抛开课本或讲义,只讲有关课文的重点词语、背景知识和写作手法等。
这样,学生除预习外,课后还要结合教员在课堂上所讲的内容好好复习课文。
这两种授课方式的好处是,使学生通过自学(指预习)和教师的指导,自己主动去掌握知识。
与以教员为中心的灌输式教育方式相比,学生更能巩固所学,并使他们今后更能发挥学习潜能。
此外,这也使有的教员摆脱了那种课文注释那么详细而觉得在课堂上没有多少可讲的被动地位和局面。

Army Study of Iraq War Details a 'Morass' of Supply Shortages by Eric Schmitt陆军研究伊拉克战争的细节的泥沼供应短缺埃里克·施密特The first official Army history of the Iraq war reveals that American forces were plagued by a "morass" of supply shortages, radios that could not reach far-flung troops, disappointing psychological operations and virtually no reliable intelligence on how Saddam Hussein would defend Baghdad.第一次伊拉克战争的正式军队的历史表明,美国军队被困扰的“泥潭”的供应短缺,收音机无法到达遥远的部队,令人失望的心理作战,几乎没有可靠的情报关于萨达姆·侯赛因将如何保卫巴格达的。
Logistics problems, which senior Army officials played down at the time, were much worse than have previously been reported. While the study serves mainly as a technical examination of how the Army performed and the problems it faced, it could also serve as a political document that could advance the Army's interests within the Pentagon.物流问题,高级陆军官员遇到的,在那时,比以前报道的糟糕得多。

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。
第三课China Finds Western ways bring new woes中国对于美国而言,是增长最快的市场,是反恐战争中的盟友,同时也是在亚洲地区最大的竞争者。
在即将到来的这一年里,这个国家的主要城市将会承办奥运会和世博会,同时,它的电影明星,时尚人士以及体育明星在海外拥有着越来越多的支持者。
似乎中国在21世纪将会开始重现其在1840年以前持续了数千年的辉煌。
但是,中国的领导人们依然面临很多棘手的问题。
粗暴对待不同政见者的专断行政系统需要改革。
在所有发展中国家都存在的经济发展不平衡问题。
环境退化问题,贫穷问题以及疾病预防问题等等。
考虑到这个世界上人口最多的国家是如此重要,USA TODAY将会对于‘中国的世纪’这个说法进行持续一年的抽样调查,看看有多少是已经做到的,有多少还没有完成。
北京——整个中国在25年改革开放政策带来的好日子的标志。
高楼大厦呈现出现代都市的景象。
道路上密集的私家轿车取代了自行车。
流行品牌广告栏下生气勃勃衣着入时的男女。
自从中国领导人在1978年开始实施自由经济之后,现在的中国已经不再是一个贫穷而封闭的国家。
但是这些令人瞩目的发展掩盖了那些伴随资本主义的增长而来的隐患。
对群众的调查是检验发生在中国的翻天覆地的变化的最好的方法。
看看现在的中国人的食物,再想想那场发生在20世纪60年代早期的那次灾难——上百万人因饥荒而死去。
而现在,超过五分之一的成年人体重超标,这一比例在20年间增长了将近40%。
与消耗食品数量同时增长的是酒类,较之1978,平均每个中国人的饮酒数量已经翻了4倍。
尽管酒精中毒的比例仍然低于西方标准,但是在城市地区,这已经是个很严重的问题了。
富裕生活的不良影响逐步显现中国正在努力朝小康生活奋斗,很多中国人放弃了传统的生活方式转为西式的放纵生活。
公共卫生的调查结果显示这些人的健康问题非常严重。
根据北卡大学研究发展中国家饮食的经济学家Barry Popkin的研究结果,1995年到2025年,因不健康饮食导致的心脏病,高血压,心肌梗塞,糖尿病而死亡的人数将会增加10倍,超过了人口的增长速度。
他说:中国人的平均寿命增长将会因此停滞甚至倒退。
而且随之带来的卫生保健费用将会非常庞大。
如果中国不能解决这一问题,这将是影响中国经济发展的重要因素。
以下的问题经常见诸于各媒体并深深困扰着中国领导人们:经济方面:资本主义制度,包括欠发达的,使私营企业依赖动荡的国家银行进行融资的资本市场都还没有发展成熟政治方面,中国共产党领导人必须找出适合的方法来解决在一党制系统下如何满足日益增长的中产阶级的政治要求。
环境方面,无论是空气,水,还是陆地,各种环境问题越来越需要引起重视。
举例说明:北京等北方城市的水危机使得中国不得不投资空前的550亿元用于南水北调工程。
但是,对于个体来说,这些宏观的危机远远比不上那些新出现的对于个人的危险。
很多人还不熟悉的伴随富裕生活而来的富人病已经让卫生保健系统不堪重负。
在生活标准不断提高的这25年里,中国人已经逐渐发现了西式生活的代价。
今天的中国充满活力,举国上下热切期待着2008北京奥运的举行。
这个新崛起的国家正努力摆脱改革开放以前那个贫穷封闭的形象。
1978年,时任中共中央总书记的邓小平实行了经济改革。
当时,城市居民的年收入甚至不到200美元。
没有私人餐馆,日常生活物资限量供应,大部分人每天的供给仅能满足最基本的需要。
从设立四个沿海经济特区开始,邓小平逐渐将资本主义的活力释放出来。
80年代之后,电视立体声音响等各种奢侈消费品以及洗衣机冰箱等家用电器不再罕见。
与此同时,上亿的人们摆脱了传统的农村生活,他们进入工厂或办公室工作。
人们用汽车取代步行或自行车作为主要交通方式,在1985年,北京仅有不到1100辆私人轿车,而现在,这一数字已经超过200万。
人们变得更加富裕,但活动没有以前多,摄入的维生素纤维及谷物减少,肉蛋类多了。
在一日三餐中人们食用了更多的动植物油脂。
就像56岁的北京普通家庭主妇Zhang Shuying所说:过去,我们也吃肉,但不像现在这么多。
举个例子,有四盘菜,过去三个是蔬菜另外一个才是肉,而现在正好相反。
20年来,油脂摄入量翻了两番。
城市里越来越多的KFC式的快餐店,现在三分之一热量来自于油脂,这个值相当于美国的对健康有害标准。
就算是蔬菜类食品也经常被不当食用。
有一道大家都很爱吃的菜——炸茄盒——茄子被塞满肉然后油炸,就让医生对此摇头不已。
今天的这些过于丰盛的饮食对于过去的中国是无法想像的。
在1958到1960的大跃进时期,一夜实现现代化的期望使得国家损失惨重,饥荒几乎毁灭了整个农村。
农民们纷纷被指示着在土制的熔炉里大炼钢铁,从而失去了收获农作物现在,很多中国人不得不努力控制自己的体重。
25岁的Liang Yong说:我的父母就从来没有体重问题,他们只担心不够吃。
据他们说,现在用来饲养牲畜的食物都比他们过去吃的好。
在70年代,Liang Yong的父母在重庆这个中国中部的城市经营一家小店。
他们以野菜和红薯为食。
他们是如此贫穷以至于吃不起大米。
但是自从Liang Yong出生后,日子变好了。
Liang Yong可以随意吃他想吃的东西。
Liang Yong说:我吃了很多大米和各种糖果,无论是什么糖果,我喜欢甜食。
到了1999年,当Liang Yong不得不进入天津的Aimin 减肥医院时,他已经455磅重。
这家开业于1992年医院,对他制定了锻炼计划,并实施针灸和中药疗法。
4年后,Liang Yong已经减去了220磅体重。
对于5英尺的身高来说,Liang Yong还是显得胖了些——就像很多现在的中国成年人一样。
根据Popkin 的研究结果,从1989年到1997年,超重男性的比例在中国增加近三倍,而到了2025年,可能会有超过38%的成年中国人必须努力减肥。
对于5英尺的身高来说,Liang Yong还是显得胖了些——就像很多现在的中国成年人一样。
根据Popkin的研究结果,从1989年到1997年,超重男性的比例在中国增加近三倍,而到了2025年,可能会有超过38%的成年中国人必须努力减肥。
同胞们猛涨的腰围对于Liang来说毫不惊奇,他还想在减去50磅,他说:生活变好了,人们也就变胖了.进口的啤酒在Nashville这家西式风格的酒吧里,4个好友围坐在一起,喝酒聊天。
在他们旁边的房间,吉他手正在演奏。
旁边的吧台里摆放着Budweiser,Heineken和其他的十几种进口啤酒,也有Glenfiddich之类品牌的威士忌和Grand Marnier之类的白兰地。
四人中的Hao Jun,30岁,从80年代末就开始出没与酒吧,当时他住在一个市场附近,花一块钱就可以买到一日所需的蔬菜,他说:我们现在喝的Boddington's啤酒一杯就要花掉我50块。
邓小平的经济改革之前,酒类的供应被限制。
但是自从改革开放之后,各种酿酒厂在全国各地冒了出来。
根据世界卫生组织的统计报告,1981年,中国的啤酒产量是1949年的91倍。
增长的个人收入刺激了酒类的供应。
按照一般意义上的酒类统计标准,到了2000年,世界卫生组织发现中国人均消费的酒类达到176盎司,比1978年增加了320%。
而考虑到这一统计并不包括家庭酿制的酒类,中国人的实际消费量可能还要再增加三分之一。
Nebraska-Lincoln大学的健康教育教授Ian Newman确信:酒精带来的问题同样将会困扰中国,因为人均酒精消费的增长如同世界其他地区一样迅速。
这一结论可以在北京城区里的胡同得到证明,在这些传统的灰色院落里,酒徒造成的麻烦日益增加。
在70年代末,酒精中毒治疗在北京安定医院不为人所知,但是几十年间,有这种治疗要求的人越来越多。
去年,大概有300人接受这一治疗,比两年前增加了3倍。
过去接受这种治疗的都是男性,但在2000年,第一次出现了女性酒精中毒患者.这一治疗的负责人Sheng Lixia说:很多女性现在摆脱了家务并参加了工作,她们更加富裕,她们可以做自己想做的事情并更多的接触社会。
酒精中毒现在一点都不稀罕酒精中毒的全国信统计并不准确。
最近的一次统计结果是1993年做出的,当时的数字已经10倍于1983年。
尽管如此,政府并没有对酒精带来的潜在问题引起重视。
仅仅在过去的几年间对住院病人投入845美元用于国家性的卫生保险计划。
将来可能发生的问题暂时来看,酗酒的问题要到未来才会显现。
按照国际标准来看,大部分中国人依然算是轻度饮酒者。
独自饮酒很少见,大部分都是在吃饭时饮酒。
Hao说:大多数情况下,我们饮酒是因为和朋友在一起。
并非为了饮酒而饮酒。
这也许可以解释为什么官方暂时还没有控制日益增长的酒精消费。
官方并没有制定一条法律多大年纪可以饮酒,而且在电视上做酒类广告也很平常,而在美国这确实违法的.从我们切身体会可以看出,中国将会承担更多饮酒问题日益严重带来的后果,肝病和性病患者增加,暴力行为,酗酒导致的旷工行为以及严重的交通事故。
一家中的的保险公司甚至开始销售为经常酒后驾车人士准备的保险。
这一行为被人们指责为鼓励人们酒后驾驶。
如果不对不健康饮食习惯予以制止,中国将会面临更大的财政压力。
1995年,中国在饮食相关的疾病上花费了几乎120亿元。
而Popkin认为到了2025年这一数字可能还会增加至少25%。
心脏病,心肌梗塞,糖尿病,伴随着不健康的饮食和缺乏运动,已经在不断增长。
如果中国在2020年实现了经济翻4番的目标,中国人们将会享受到大约相当与西方发达国家90年代的生活水平。
但是一些中国健康专家担心说,中国冒着照搬西式生活方式中最差方面的危险在复制发达国家的方便舒适的生活方式。
一月份,官方开始大量培训医生来推广新的指导方针从而使人们的饮食更加健康。
而且北京的报纸用大篇幅来推广如何在快节奏生活中避免过度肥胖。
中国疾病预防控制中心的Chen Chunming说:现在是正是做这些事儿的时候,现在做,我们就不会重蹈西方世界的覆辙。
