《英美报刊选读》
一、教学目的
通过本课程的学习，使学员对英美报刊有一个清晰的了解，认识英美报刊语言、文体、词汇、语法等基本特点，掌握英美报刊阅读的基本知识及技巧，为独立阅读英美报刊打下良好的基础。
二、教材特点
与该课程旧教材（第1版）相比，本教材具有以下特点：
1．为使学生改变以往依赖教师和英汉词典的学习习惯，培养他们独自排解疑难词语的能力，编者不但向他们推荐工具书，并教授他们使用方法；为使他们能加深对词汇的记忆，还介绍词法和重要词根及词缀。
2．为使学生掌握必要的新闻词语和扩大词汇量，本书在“新闻词语解说”中尽量结合课文，讲透疑难词语。此外还列出一些与这些词语或课文内容有关的课外词汇。
3．为使学生掌握必要的读报知识，本书在“背景知识”中尽量结合课文，介绍重要的并时常见诸报端的人物、党派和组织机构等，并举例说明其重要性。
4．为使学生对新闻写作有一个大致的认识，加深对课文的理解，编者较系统地说明标题的若干特点，对新闻体裁的分类、导语和写作特点及常语等做了简介。
三、教学内容
《英美报刊选读》为省开课程。
1．授课内容：重点为第1、3、4、5、6、8、13、15、17、19、20、21、24、28、30课（共15课），其它内容主要供自学。
2．课时安排：
a) 学员自学：2学时/周，共30学时学完15课。
b)面授辅导：4学时/次，共4次。每学时辅导一课，最后一学时复习。
3．作业：共四次，在湖北电大网站英语本科网页上下载，课后完成，交辅导教师批改，评分，作为平时成绩的主要依据。学员完成作业后，可浏览网页上的“答案及详解”，以加深理解，检查自己掌握的情况
四、教学建议
教师授课时应以学生为中心，鼓励学生自己去探索和获取知识。在上课时，可要求学生先回答每课后的练习题——Questions,使他们基本了解课文的主要内容。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学方式相比，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。当然，这只是本人的实践和看法。我相信在调动学生主动学习的积极性方面还有更多、更好的教学法。

Newspapers ,along with reporting the news ,instruct ,entertain, and give opinions. A newspaper has separate sections: world news, national and local news, sports, business ,entertainment, opinions, comics, classified ads,etc.
You can be a better reader if you know what to expect in a newspaper.For example, when you read a newspaper you usually look quickly at headlines first. Newspaper headlines have a language of their own and it is necessary to learn about it.Please read the following headlines:
Moscow official wounded by gunmen
Earthquake rocks Turkey
Husband to sue wife
Boy on cliff rescued
Young Sudanese refugees endured famine, separations from family
From above we can see two prominent features of English newspaper headlines:
☆Headlines are almost always in the present tense and even future
events are put in the present tense。
☆Headlines generally omit unnecessary words, especially articles and the verb to be.And is often replaced by a comma.
Newspaper headlines can be classified into several types:
☆Straight headlines give you the main topic of the story.They are the most common type of headline and are the easiest to understand.
Snow has chilling effects on South
Clinton offers Bush advice.
☆Headlines that ask a question,report a future possibility or offer some doubt about the truth or accuracy of the story.
Can technology fix ballot woes?
Do market analysts have bad aim or bad intentions?
☆Headlines that contain a quotation which is important or which shows that a statement is not proven.
Mother:Let my baby go
“We won’t quit”
☆Double headlines are two-part headlines for the same story and are often used for major events.
How Express broke diplomatic silence
HUSH-UP ON “SPY” ENVOYS
☆Feature headlines are used for stories that are either highly unusual or amusing.Headlines for such stories try to be as clever as possible to catch
the reader's interest.
Teletubbles maker seeks funds for expansion
Dead student fell under the crush during clashes

Understanding Headline Vocabulary
English newspaper headlines use a special vocabulary.A headline contracts a lot of information into a short space and hence in headlines we often see
●Short words used instead of long ones
e.g. aid=assist bare=expose or reveal;
blast=explode probe=investigation
woo=seek to win
●Abbreviations such as short names which can be used when they are likely to be identified by the reader.Also initials are used whenever possible.
e.g. Close-up on WILL(WILL=Willam Shakespeare)
Yard smash airport gang(Yard=Scotland Yard)
MP slams hospital delay(MP=member of Parliament)
●shortened words and slang
e.g. Weekly mag for stamp lovers to be launched(mag=magazine)
Br fly into stormover plgeon ban(Br=Britain)
Olivier denies “blackmail” jibe(jibe=an insulting attack)
The following is a list of words with their common headline meanings.Try to be famillar with these words.

The Newspaper Lead
The first paragraph of a news story is called the lead. It almost always gives you the story's main topic and most important facts. When you read a newspaper lead sentence, try to find the subject and main verb and note how the rest of the sentence adds information to the subject and main verb.
Anwar Sadat Assassinated at Cairo Military Review
CAIRO,October7-Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, a
modern-day pharaoh who attempted to lead the Arab world toward a permanent Mideast peace with Isreal, was assassinated yesterday by a band of soldiers who attacked a military parade reviewing stand with automatic rifles and hand grenades.
Note that a great deal of information is included in a single sentence.The writer has organized the sentence around the subject(Egyptian President Anwar Sadat)and main verb(was assassinate) very carefully.
The lead sentence usually does the following:
●Answers questions such as “who?”“what?”“where?” “when?”
“result?”
●Adds background to help you better understand the story or
State where the source of the story comes from.
《英美报刊选读》辅导四
Read the News Story
In most news stories the most important facts will be found near the beginning-usually within the first two or three paragraphs.The remainder of the story will give details explaining and clarifying the main points,or introducing new,but less important information.
The following is a formula for a typical news story;
●Paragraph One
The story's subject and most important facts.
●Paragraph Two
Important facts that the writer was unable to include in the lead;
Information to clarify the facts in the lead;
A particularly important quote.
●The rest of the story
Specific details to answer readers' questions;
Statements and opinions by people involved in the story or by outside observers;
Background information;
New,but less important facts.
Accordingly, when you read a news story, you are to:
●Read the beginning of the story very carefully because it
contains the most important fact.
●Try to look for more facts than those given in the lead.
●If you don't understand something at the beginning of a story, keep reading for a second(and perhaps a third) chance to understand.

Reading the Feature Story in a Newspaper
In most news stories the main points come very early and less impotant information comes later.There is another kind of story_the
feature story which follows a different format,the feature format.
Popular Magazines and Magazine Articles
Reading popular magazines is a good way to enlarge our vocabulary and learn a little bit about many topics in English.The following is a list of major magazines in Britain and the United States.
●Magazines in Britain
The Economist Britain Today
The Spectator Contemporary Review
New Statesman London Magazine
New Scientist Observer Review
The Listener Punch
British Weekly
●Magazines in the United States
Time US News & World Report
Newsweek Reader's Digest
Life Business Weekly
Fortune Harper's
People American Review
The New Yorker
Very often we read magazines while traveling or relaxing anywhere.Writers of magazine articles do not expect their audience to spend too much time reading and try to make the main ideas stand out clearly. The task for the reader is to locate these main ideas quickly.
Popular magazine writers use various devices to capture a reader's attention:clever titles,short paragraphs and compound nouns to economize on words.Articles in magazine often have characteristics similar to those found in news stories or articles found in newspapers.Here are some feautures of magazine articles:
●An introductory paragraph summarize the main idea;
●The details are given in the rest of the articles;
●The author's view of the subject is directed to a particular
audience but may interest readers in general.
《英美报刊选读》辅导六
Reading Advertisements
Most magazines and newspapers contain advertisements that are designed to make us want the product.Advertisers want us to believe that their product is important for a good life. Some advertisements even present viewpoints on timely subjects.Like newspaper editorials.Such ads try to influence the reader's opinions.
The language of advertising must be a language of immediate impact and rapid persuasion. No one is likely to spend much time deciding whether to read a printed advertisement or listen to a spoken one:If their attention is not attracted immediately and held firmly for the short amount of time necessary to absorb what is being
said. Then the advertisement will have miserably. So the advertising language uses a basically simple grammatical structure and a richly suggestive and descriptive vocabulary.
Read the following ad.
Only the cream of the crop files
Our chefs buy only the freshest and most expensive ingredients for our kitchens.
Anywhere.
Because they believe that good food really is the way to a person's heart.
Obviously, there are many who would agree.
In fact, experienced travelers have rewarded Swissair with the greatest percentage of repeat business.
Which is not something we take lightly.
Because travelers who fly more, expect more.
So our chefs prepare five gourmet selections for every flight. Plus any one of 15 different special meals on request:
Hindu,Kosher,Moslem,diabetic,slat-free,vegetarian,dietetic…you name it.
Only the best will please Swissair passengers.
The cream of the crop.
Swissair has worldwide departures from New York, Boston, Chicago, Montreal and Toronto.
Call Swissair of your travel expert
SWISSAIR
In the above ad, a great deal is said in a few words. We see short sentences, vivid language, and many informal, popular expressions. They appeal to all of the senses.
When you read an advertisement, you may:
●Look for the hidden message; the way in which an advertiser uses words and pictures to influence readers opinions and attitudes.
●Read between the lines for meanings implied rather than clearly stated.
●Find the source of its appeal to the senses.

春风(老舍)阅读附答案
春风（老舍）阅读附答案 读书滋味 春风（老舍） ①济南与青岛是多么不相同的地方呢！一个设若比作穿肥袖马褂的老先生，那一个便应当是摩登的少女。可是这两处不无相似之点。拿气候说吧，济南的夏天可以热死人，而青岛是有名的避暑所在；冬天，济南也比青岛冷。但是，两地的春秋颇有点相同。济南到春天多风，青岛也是这样；济南的秋天是长而晴美，青岛亦然。 ②对于秋天，我不知应爱哪里的：济南的秋是在山上，青岛的是在海边。济南是抱在小山里的，到了秋天，小山上那黄绿的草丛，苍翠的松树，褐色的石层，仿佛给小山穿上了一件色彩斑斓的衣衫，再配上那光暖的蓝空，我觉到一种舒适和安全，只想在山坡上似睡非睡地躺着，躺到永远。青岛的山——虽然怪秀美——不能与海相抗，秋海的波还是春样的绿，绿得晶莹剔透，远处的点点白帆在绿波上轻轻荡漾，平时看不见的小岛也清楚地点现在天边。这远到天边的绿水使我不愿思想而不得不思想。济南的秋给我安全之感，青岛的秋给我带来丝丝的甜美。我不知应当爱哪个。 ③所谓春风，似乎应当。可是，济南与青岛的春风都太粗猛，把两地的春都给吹毁了。济南的风每每在丁香海棠开花的时候把天刮黄，什么也看不见，连花都埋在黄暗中；青岛的风少一些沙土，可是狡猾，在已很暖的时节忽然来一阵或一天的冷风，把一切都送回冬天去，棉衣不敢脱，花儿不敢开，海边翻着愁浪。 ④两地的风都有时候整天整夜地刮。春夜的微风送来雁叫，使人似乎多些希望。整夜的大风，门响窗户动，使人不由地把头埋在被子里；即使无害，也似乎不应该如此。对于我，特别觉得难堪。我生在北方，听惯了风，可也最怕风。听是听惯了，因为听惯才知道那个难受劲儿。它老使我坐卧不安，心中游游摸摸的，干什么不好，不干什么也不好。它常常打断我的希望：听见风响，我记得出门，觉得寒冷，心中渺茫。春天仿佛应当有生气，应当有花草，这样的野风几乎是不可原谅的！我倒不是个弱不禁风的人，虽然身体不很足壮。我能受苦，只是受不住风。别种的苦处，多少是在一个地方，多少有个原因，多少可以设法减除；对风是千没办法。总不在一个地方，到处随时使我的脑子晃动，像怒海上的船。它使我说不出为什么苦痛，而且没法子避免。它自由地刮，我死受着苦。我不能和风去讲理或吵架。单单在春天刮这样的风！可是跟谁讲理去呢？苏杭的春天应当没有这不得人心的风吧？我不知道，而希望如此。好有个地方去“避风”呀！（此文选自《中华活页文选》，有改动） 1、请根据对本文的理解，试写出济南与青岛两地在气候上的相同点与不同点。 相同点：____________________________________________________________ 不同点：____________________________________________________________ 2、本文写济南秋天的美，主要是通过山来表现的，重点抓住了

老舍《春风》散文阅读附答案
老舍《春风》散文阅读附答案 春风 ①济南与青岛是多么不相同的地方呢!一个设若比作穿肥袖马褂的老先生，那一个便应当是登的少女。可是这两处不无相似之点。拿气候说吧，济南的夏天可以热死人，而青岛是有名的避暑所在;冬天，济南也比青岛冷。但是，两地的春秋颇有点相同。济南到春天多风，青岛也是这样;济南的秋天是长而晴美，青岛亦然。 ②对于秋天，我不知应爱哪里的：济南的秋是在山上，青岛的是在海边。济南是抱在小山里的，到了秋天，小山上那黄绿的草丛，苍翠的松树，色的石层，仿佛给小山?穿上了一件色彩斑的衣衫，再配上那光暖的蓝空，我觉到一种舒适和安全，只想在山坡上似睡非睡地躺着，躺到永远。青岛的山——虽然怪秀美——不能与海相抗，秋海的波还是春样的绿，绿得晶莹剔透，远处的点点白帆在绿波上轻轻荡漾，平时看不见的小岛也清楚地点现在天边。这远到天边的绿水使我不愿思想而不得不思想。济南的秋给我安全之感，青岛的秋给我带来丝丝的甜美。我不知应当爱哪个。 ③所谓春风，似乎应当_____________________________________。可是，济南与青岛的春风都太粗猛，把两地的春都给吹毁了。济南的风每每在丁香海棠开花的时候把天刮黄，什么也看不见，连花都埋在黄暗中;青岛的风少一些沙土，可是狡猾，在已很暖的时节忽然来一阵或一天的`冷风，把一切都送回冬天去，棉衣不敢脱，花儿不敢开，海边着愁浪。 ④两地的风都有时候整天整夜地刮。春夜的微风送来雁叫，使人似乎多些希望。整夜的大风，门响窗户动，使人不英雄地把头埋在被子里;即使无害，也似乎不应该如此。对于我，特别觉得难堪。我生在北方，听惯了风，可也最怕风。听是听惯了，因为听惯才知道那个难受劲儿。它老使我坐卧不安，心中游游摸摸的，干什么不好，不干什么也不好。它常常打断我的希望：听见风响，我记得出门，觉得寒冷，心中渺茫。春天仿佛应当有生气，应当有花草，这样的野风几乎是不可原谅的!我倒不是个弱不禁风的人，虽然身体不很足壮。我能受苦，只是受不住风。别种的苦处，多少是在一个地方，多少有个原因，多少可以设法减除;对风是千没办法。总不在一个地方，到处随时使我的脑子晃动，像怒海上的船。它使我说不出为什么苦痛，而且没法子避免。它自由地刮，我死受着苦。我不能和风去讲理或吵架。单单在春天刮这样的风!可是跟谁讲理去呢?苏杭的春天应当没有这不得人心的风吧?我不准知道，而希望如此。好有个地方去“避风”呀!(此文选自《中华活页文选》，有改动) 18.请根据对本文的理解，试写出济南与青岛两地在气候上的相同点与不同点。2分

Unit2 Gender Issues Men turn to jobs women usually do 1.HOUSTON - Over the last decade, American men of all backgrounds have begun flocking to fields such as teaching, nursing and waiting tables that have long been the province of women. 2."The way I look at it is that anything, basically, that a woman can do, a guy can do," said Miguel Alquicira, who graduated from high school when construction and manufacturing jobs were scarce and became a dental assistant. 3.The trend began well before the crash,and appears to be driven by a variety of factors, including financial concerns, quality-of-life issues and a gradual erosion of g ender stereotypes. 4.In interviews, about two dozen men played down the economic considerations, saying that the stigma associated with choosing such jobs had faded, and that the jobs were appealing not just because they offered stable employment, but because they were more satisfying. 5."I.T. is just killing viruses and clearing paper jams all day," said Scott Kearney, 43, who tried information technology and other fields before becoming a nurse in the pediatric intensive care unit at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. 6.An analysis of United States census data by The New York Times shows that from 2000 to 2010, occupations that are more than 70 percent female accounted for almost a third of all job growth for men, double the share of the previous decade. 7.That does not mean that men are displacing women - those same jobs accounted for almost two-thirds of women's job growth. But in Texas, for example, the number of men who are registered nurses nearly doubled in that time period. 8.The shift includes low-wage jobs as well. Nationally, two-thirds more men were bank tellers, almost twice as many were receptionists and two-thirds more were waiting tables in 2010 than a decade earlier. 9.Even more striking is the type of men who are making the shift. From 1970 to 1990, according to a study by Mary Gatta, senior scholar at Wider Opportunities for Women, an organization based in Washington, D.C., and Patricia A. Roos, a sociologist at Rutgers University in New Jersey, men who took so-called pink-collar jobs tended to be foreign-born, non-English speakers with low education levels. 10.Now, though, the trend has spread among men of nearly all races and ages, more than a third of whom have a college degree. In fact, the shift is most pronounced among young, white, college-educated men like Charles Reed, a sixth-grade math teacher at Patrick Henry Middle School in Houston. 11.Mr. Reed, 25, intended to go to law school after a
种春风 阅读答案
1、这篇文章的题目是《种春风》，请解释“春风”的含义。 2、第三段与第十段两次描写老人的肖像，对表现我的心里各有什么作用？ 3、常言道“种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆”，文章中介绍了哪几件“种春风”的人和事，他们有收获了什么？ 附：种春风 那天正好是立春。我拿着几张稿费单去邮局，心情很好。 邮局人不多，前面是个小伙子，正在给家里寄钱，后面是一个70岁左右的老人，戴着个老花镜，穿着破烂又邋遢。他肯定是来取子女们的汇款的吧。他手中还拿着一张报纸，我扫了一眼，是《河北农民报》，我从来没读过的一份报纸。 老人的外套油迹斑斑，我不由得站远了一些，以免蹭脏自己新买的“宝姿”风衣。我正戴着MP3耳机听歌呢，老人忽然伸出手来，我忙摘下耳机，他说：“姑娘，麻烦你在柜台帮我取张汇款单。” 我拿了一张给他，他又说：“姑娘，你能帮我写一下吗？人老了，戴上花镜也怕写错。”我有点儿无可奈何，但看他恳请，也只好从命。 “寄到哪里”我问。“就照着报纸上印的地址寄吧。”他指着巴掌大的一篇文章说。 我很快看完了，那则煽情的报道——原来是某村的一个小女孩，父母去县城卖菜的途中出了车祸，肇事司机至今没有消息，她只好跟着80岁的奶奶生活，学费、生活费都没有着落。“多可怜啊！”老人说。 “骗你呢，大伯。这肯定是骗局。连照片都没有，哪能信？” 老人很固执：“肯定是真的。以前我也寄过，人家都给回信了。你说，谁要是有活着的办法会这么求你呢？一定是过不去这个坎了，对吧，姑娘？” 我抬起头来，打量着这个猛然打动了我心的老人。他其貌不扬，甚至是寒酸的，摊开的双手老茧重重。老人叹口气说：“小的时候家里穷啊，要不是别人帮我，我肯定活不到现在。人帮人是天经地义的，古人都说，投我以桃李，报之以琼瑶。” 保险起见，我拨通了那家报社的电话，他们不仅知道老人的大名，还说，他每月都要寄钱来，他们对他非常感激。 老人每月的退休金只有500元，但那天他寄出的钱却是300元！我有些震惊，300元对我而言无所谓，一篇小稿子而已，可对老人几乎是倾其所有。老人说：“下个月我还要寄，让她们祖孙俩起码能吃上饭。” 不知为什么，我的眼角有些湿润，如果不是亲手填写这张汇款单，我真难相信一个也刚刚吃饱的人，正在把钱寄往一个更穷的地方。那一刻，我的心隐隐不安。一个买瓶CD香水就要花上千儿八百的女人，是越来越爱自己了，却对他人越来越铁石心肠。 那天，我领取的稿费将近2000元，也要了张汇款单，写了同一个地址，寄去了一点儿钱。老人非常感动，一个劲地说：“姑娘，我替她们祖孙谢谢你！” 我连忙摇头，哪里用他替陌生人感谢我，我才要感谢他，那种本真的善良，唤醒了我心中一度被遗忘的东西。这个社会有时是冷漠的、斤斤计较的，但只要你敢爱，敢信任，它就会是热情的、柔软的。 和老人告别后，我的心头别样的温暖。外面春风乍起，心里的春天也悄悄来了，我想起三毛的一首老歌《一亩田》：“每个人心里一亩一亩田，每个人心里一个一个梦，用它来种什么，用来种什么，种桃种李种春风……”
英语阅读2期末复习资料
英语阅读2期末复习资料 Part One Passage l Th is is a short passage about the wildebeest migration. Every year around April , many thousands of wildebeest gather together on the Serengeti Plains in Tanzania in preparation for their long journey northwards. Although it is often referred to as ‘The Migration' , this great movement of animals is an endless year - round trek dictated by the seasons and the search for fresh grass and water. By early July the long straggling columns of wildebeest , along with large numbers of zebra , begin to reach the Mara Reserve. They can enter anywhere and once inside their movements are erratic according to where forage is best. However, the herds do have one or two favorite river crossing places and after the Mara grasses have been gazed to the ground , they use these to move northwards out of the reserve. Weak animals rarely survive the river crossings. Many are crushed to death by the sheer weight of numbers and some are eaten by huge crocodiles. In late September. the herds begin to re- form for the journey back to the Serengeti Plains. They arrive three months later and begin calving. Read Passage 1 and decide whether the following statements are True or False. 1. In April the wildebeest travel from the Mara Reserve to the Serengeti. 2. The reason for ‘ T he Migration' is search for food. 3. In early June , the wildebeest reach the Mara Reserve. 4. The wildebeest' s movements are irregular when they go into the Mara Reserve. 5. At the end of the year , the wildebeest return to the Serengeti Plains and give birth to calves. Passage 2 This is a short passage about the monster and Frankenstein ? Some time later , Frankenstein received a letter from his father telling him that his young brother. William. had been murdered. All the family was shocked when Justine Moritz , the boy' s nanny , was accused of the crime and Frankenstein was horrified when she was executed for the murder because he felt that his monster had done it , not Justine. Throughout the following months , Frankenstein became more and more depressed. Then , one day when he was traveling in the mountains , trying to forget his troubles , Frankenstein suddenly met the monster. He shouted furiously at him , accusing him of the crime, and telling him to stay away from him and his family. But the monster insisted on talking to his creator and told him the sad story of his life since he had run away from the laboratory where Frankenstein had made him. The monster said that he had tried , in vain , to attach himself to humans , but nobody would have anything to do with him , because they found him so ugly and frightening. He told Frankenstein that even when he had saved a child who was drowning in a river , nobody thanked him. In fact , the father shot him in the shoulder because he was afraid of him.
