前言

　　在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)高速發(fā)展的信息時代，我們需要閱讀的英語資料浩如煙海，僅靠延長閱讀時間來獲取知識和信息的辦法顯然已不能適應(yīng)時代發(fā)展的要求。因此，增加大學(xué)英語快速閱讀教學(xué)，培養(yǎng)和訓(xùn)練學(xué)生的快速閱讀能力，就成為大學(xué)英語教學(xué)中不容忽視的一項(xiàng)重要內(nèi)容?！　「鶕?jù)2007年國家教育部高教司頒布的《大學(xué)英語課程教學(xué)要求》（以下簡稱《課程要求》），大學(xué)英語的教學(xué)目標(biāo)是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的英語綜合應(yīng)用能力。而閱讀作為一項(xiàng)基本技能，始終是英語綜合能力訓(xùn)練中的一個重要環(huán)節(jié)。從一定意義上講，閱讀速度又是衡量閱讀能力的重要指標(biāo)之一?！　　墩n程要求》提出了三個層次的英語教學(xué)要求，其中的“一般要求”和“較高要求”均對快速閱讀能力作了詳細(xì)說明。快速閱讀的一般要求是能夠應(yīng)對篇幅較長、難度略低的材料，閱讀速度應(yīng)達(dá)到每分鐘100詞，并能就閱讀材料進(jìn)行略讀（skirrrning）和尋讀（scanning）；而較高要求是要能夠應(yīng)對篇幅較長、難度適中的材料，并且閱讀速度達(dá)到每分鐘120詞。而且兩個要求均提出學(xué)生通過閱讀能夠掌握中心大意，理解主要事實(shí)和有關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)。由此可見，深化快速閱讀教學(xué)，進(jìn)一步提高閱讀能力，仍是培養(yǎng)和提高大學(xué)生語言運(yùn)用能力的關(guān)鍵所在?！　”鞠盗薪滩氖且浴洞髮W(xué)英語課程教學(xué)要求》為準(zhǔn)則，在參考國內(nèi)外多種英語快速閱讀教材的基礎(chǔ)上，根據(jù)編者多年從事大學(xué)英語快速閱讀教學(xué)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，以及我國非英語專業(yè)本科生目前整體英語水平和實(shí)際英語能力編寫而成?！　〗滩墓卜至鶅?，旨在幫助學(xué)生進(jìn)行系統(tǒng)的、有針對性的快速閱讀訓(xùn)練，掌握基本閱讀技能，培養(yǎng)良好閱讀習(xí)慣，提高閱讀效率。選材方面，我們力求所選文章兼?zhèn)鋾r代性、信息性、趣味性以及可讀性，語言難度適中，其體裁和題材體現(xiàn)多樣性，話題涵蓋中西文化、教育、生活、媒介、歷史、科技、哲學(xué)、文學(xué)等。練習(xí)方面，我們主要以現(xiàn)行大學(xué)英語四六級考試中快速閱讀題型為主，又適當(dāng)增加其他形式的題型：既有選擇填空、對錯判斷和填空等基本題型，又有匹配、簡短回答、摘要以及翻譯等練習(xí)。目的是使學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)完本套教材后提高快速閱讀部分的應(yīng)試能力，同時又增強(qiáng)他們的信息搜索能力。每冊書后附有本冊練習(xí)的參考答案供師生參考?！　”緯卜职藗€單元，每個單元由Passage A、Passage B和Passage C三篇文章組成。Passage A和Passage B供課堂使用，Passage C供學(xué)生課外閱讀。　　同時，為了提高學(xué)生的快速閱讀能力和應(yīng)對四六級機(jī)考，本系列教材還配有助學(xué)光盤。光盤中還增加了文化背景知識、難詞和短語的注解以及答案解析等內(nèi)容，以方便教師和學(xué)生配套使用?！　”咎捉滩牡木幷叻謩e來自復(fù)旦大學(xué)、上海外國語大學(xué)、上海第二軍醫(yī)大學(xué)、北京師范大學(xué)、蘇州大學(xué)、哈爾濱學(xué)院以及解放軍外國語大學(xué)等院校。由于編者水平有限，書中錯誤及疏漏之處在所難免，敬請廣大讀者批評指正。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　1.When I was 14 years old and very impressed with my teenage status， I set for myself a very special goal - that made me so different from my friends that I don t believe I told a single one. As a teenager， I was expeaed to bave deep， dark secrets， but I was not supposed to keep them from my friends.　　2.My secret was a project that I undertook every day after school for several months. It began when I stealthily （暗地里） made my way into the local elementary school-hon:or of horrors should I be seen; I was now in junior high. I identified myself as a graduate of the elementary school， and being taken under way by a favorite fifth grade teacher， I was g:iven a small bundle from a locked storeroom - a bundle that I quickly dropped into a bag，lest anyone see me walking home with something from the "little kids" school.　　3.I brought the bundle home - proudly now， for within the confines of my home， I was proud of my ptoject. I walked into the living room， and one by one， emptied the bag of basic feading books. They were tbin books with colorful covers and large print. The words were monosyllabic and repetitive. I sat down to the secret task at hand.　　4."All right"，I said authoritatively'to my 70-yeat-old grandmother， "today we begin our first reading lesson".　　5.For weeks afterward， my grandmother and I sat patiendy side by side - roles reversed as she， with a bit of difficulty， sounded out every word， then read them again， piece by piece， until she understood the short sentences. When she slowly repeated the full sentence， we both would smile and clap our hands - I felt so proud， so grown up.　　6.My grandmother was born in Kalamata， Greece， in a rocky little farming village where nothing much grew.　She never had the time to go to school. As the oldest child she was expected to take care of her brother and sister， as well as the house， and her father scratched out what little he could from the soil.　　7.So， for my grandmother， schooling was out. But she had big plans for herself. She had heard about America. About how rich you could be. How people on the streets would offer you a dollar just to smell the flower you were carrying. About how everyone lived in nice houses - not stone huts on the sides of mountains - and had nice clothes and time for school.　　8.So my grandmother made a decision at 14 - just a child， I realize now - to take a long and sickening 30-day sea voyage alone to the United States. After lying about her age to the passport offiaals， who would shake their heads firmly at anyone under 16 leaving her family， and after gving her favorite gold earrings to her cousin， saying "In America， I will have all the gold I want"， my young grandmother put herself on a ship. She landed in New York in 1916.　　9.No need to repeat the story of how it went for years. The streets were not made of gold. People weren’t interested in smelling flowers held by strangers. My grandmother was a foreigner. Alone. A young gid who worked hard doing piecewotk to eam enough money for meals. No leisure time， no new gold earrings - and no school.　　10.She leamed only enough English to help her in her daily business as she traveled about Brooklyn Socially， the "foreigners" stayed in neighborhoods where they didn t feel like foreigpers. English came slowly.　　11.My grandmother had never leamed to read. She could make out a menu， but not a newspaper. She could read a street sign， but not a shop directory. She could read only what she needed to read as， throug the yeats， she married， had five daughters， and helped my grandfather with his restaurant.　　12.So when I was 14-the same age that my grandmother was when she left her family， her country， and everything she knew - I took it upon myself to teach my grandmother something， something I already knew how to do. Something with which I could gjve back to her some of the things she had taught me.　　……
