内容概要

《大学英语阅读教程》是为配合大学英语教学而编选的一套英语读物，共四册。    本书按题材分成10个单元，选文大多取自近年出版的英美报刊书籍，语言清新，体裁多样，有故事、随笔、杂感、短评、新闻报道等。在编选过程中，为确保原作的“真实性”，不随意改动原文，不作任何文字上的“加工”。    本书的每篇选文，都配有适量的阅读和翻译练习。“理解检测”，旨在提高学生语篇水平上的阅读理解能力，确保学生对整篇文章从主题思想到重要细节以至语言难点的全面理解。    “佳句试译”这一练习的设置，不仅着眼于为读者提供翻译实践的机会，因为所选的语句，大多是文章的精髓，也是难点所在，读者反复琢磨、玩味之余，自然会对文章有更深入的理解。    阅读应该是一种享受，而不该视为一种负担。享受阅读，寻求书中的逸趣，是学术求知的最高境界。愿本套丛书能成为当今大学生们的学习生活之友。
