内容概要

新世纪之初，我国的大学英语教学正面临着一个新的起点：提升英语听说能力，走向英语实际运用。这是一个立足于社会现实，尊重语言社会功能的学习视界。知识，经济的到来，信息社会的产生，全球化的趋势，多元文化的共存，这些人类现象共同构筑了我们今天的社会现实，而英语作为国际通用语言，正是一个国家或个人有效地参与国际竞争和文化交往的重要工具。而最能表现语言的工具性质的，莫过于在语言的实际运用过程中了。　　英语教材的不断更新和建设历来都是促进大学英语教学改革，提高教学质量的先行任务。目前，教育部和全国高校外语教学指导委员会坚定推行大学英语教学改革，制定颁布了新时期的《大学英语课程教学要求》，为新的大学英语教材的编写提供了指导依据，同时也显示了编写新的大学英语教材的必要性和紧迫性。正是在此情势下，北京大学教材建设委员会重点立项“大学英语”教材建设，北京大学出版社具体组织、策划了本套“大学英语立体化网络化系列教材”的编写和出版工作。　　本套教材被评为普通高等教育“十一五”国家级规划教材，根据《大学英语课程教学要求》，我们又在原书基础上进行了修订。

章节摘录

　　Dinosaur——the common name was given to a group ofreptiles， often very large， that first appeared in the LateTriassic Period about 215 million years ago and thrivedworldwide for some 150 million years. Most died out by the end of the CretaceousPeriod， about 65 million years ago， but many lines of evidence now show that onelineage evolved into birds about 150 million years ago.The name dinosaur comes from the Greek words deinos （terrible or fearfullygreat） and sauros （reptile or lizard）. The English anatomist Richard Owenproposed the formal term Dinosauria in 1842 to include three giant extinct animals（Megalosaurus， Iguanodon， and Hylaeosaurus） represented by large fossilized bonesthat had been unearthed at several locations in southern England during the earlypart of the 19th century. Owen recognized that these reptiles were far different fromother known reptiles of the present and the past for three reasons： they were largeyet obviously terrestrial， unlike the aquatic ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs that werealready known; they had five vertebrae in their hips， whereas most known reptileshave only two; and， rather than holding their limbs sprawled out to the side in themanner of lizards， dinosaurs held their limbs under the body in columnar fashion，like elephants and other large mammals.
