本书是大学专业英语系列教材中的一册。教材在内容和语言上贯彻循序渐进的原则。在内容上,第一册主要涉及本专业的原理和基础知识,第二、三册主要涉及本专业的历史及专家论点;其要旨在于帮助学生完成从基础英语到专业英语的过渡;在语言上,选材从难度、可读性等方面出发,贯穿了由浅入深的原则。
考虑到《大纲》对专业英语学时和阅读量的要求,我们采用了“主、副”课文制,对主课文从注解和练习两方面进行了重点处理,用作教师课内重点讲解的内容,副课文主要供学生课后自学,以便以主课文从语言和知识两方面起到巩固作用。
本教材强调理解的准确性和学生的应用能力,因此,练习针对这两方面进行了重点编写,配有理解、语言应用(包括词汇应用、语篇应用)练习,理解题强调准确理解、思考、分析、评价、讨论,每课练习中所采用的例句从知识和语言上均与主课文或已学过的课文有关。
