前言
2007年教育部正式出台了《大学英语课程教学要求》,这标志着新一轮大学英语的改革在全国各高等院校展开。新一轮的教学改革是在计算机全面普及以及网络技术日臻成熟的这样一个教育环境下展开的,也是为了适应国家和社会对更高层次、具有国际交流能力的人才需求的背景下展开的。改革从大学英语教学理念和教学方法以及教学环境等方面入手,强调对英语学习者的英语交际能力的培养。 然而,在外语环境下,学生的外语的能力发展和母语或者二语环境下的发展有着本质的区别。学生很少在课堂以外的场合下使用外语,课堂外的环境很难给学习者提供必要自然的语言输入。另一方面,随着网络技术的发展,学生所能接触的信息量剧增。其负面的结果是学生的兴趣泛化,阅读层次浅,理解程度低。因此,恰当地语言输入和练习,不仅能给他们充分的语言实践的机会,增强他们语言使用的能力,而且有助于他们提高外语学习的兴趣。 从20世纪80年代以来,我国的大学英语教育一直在改革中摸索前进,同时又受到我国的长期应试教育的困扰。大学英语四、六级考试在社会上广泛认可,但是实际上已经严重扭曲了大学英语教学。客观上这也对大学英语教学改革进一步深入设置了障碍。许多英语教师、英语教学负责人甚至一些院校的负责人把学生的四、六级过关率当作检验英语教学的质量标准,严重地挫伤了学生英语学习积极性和主动性,丧失了语言学习的乐趣和信心。 再者,由于许多英语教师对于交际法英语教学的片面理解或理解上的偏差,过分强调对学生的交际能力的培养,而没有充分汲取传统的语法一翻译教学法、听说教学法等的精华,片面强调语言的工具性和交际性,忽略了培养学生语言的使用规范性和准确性,矫枉过正。大学生中很多同学出现了张口就来,满口错误的英语表达。另一方面,简单的词汇拼写也是错误百出,句子语法结构错误比比皆是,没有能真正地培养学生的交际能力。因此,兼收并蓄,博采众长,把传统的教学法中有益的东西充分吸收并发扬,结合现代的教学手段是提高新时期人才培养的质量的关键。

章节摘录
The basic flag of the United States is one of the worlds oldest national flags. Only the basicflags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland are older. During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States, the flags of variousEuropean nations were flown over the land, as symbols of possession. Later, in the Colonial andRevolutionary War periods, flags representing famous persons, places, and events were flown inthe American Colonies. The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14, 1777. Itconsisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 starsand 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union,Vermont and Kentucky. By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripe foreach new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, Congress in 1818 restored theoriginal design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1921Preside William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. Heordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously the arrangement of the stars hadbeen left to the flag-makers fancy. The evolution of the stars and stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After the admissionof Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was official changed for the 26th time since its creation. There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition to the national flag.
