我国高等院校的研究生教育在21世纪之初有了较大规模的发展,对研究生英语教学也提出了更高的要求。为了使研究生英语能够更好地适应新世纪高素质人才培养的需要,我们在总结多年教材编写和教学经验的基础上,根据教育部颁布的《非英语专业研究生英语教学大纲》,编写了这一套研究生综合英语教材。本套教材包括《研究生综合英语》四册及配套的教学参考书四册。
本书为《研究生综合英语2》的教学参考书。本系列参考书为教师及学生提供与《研究生综合英语2》相关的知识点,包括: 预备活动(Warmup Activities)、背景材料(Additional Information for the Teachers Reference)、课文内容概要(Main Idea of the Text)、课文注释(Notes to the Text)、难句释义(Paraphrase of Difficult Sentences)、语言点应用分析(Language Points)、练习答案(Key to Exercises)以及参考译文(Translation of the Text)。本书提供的背景文化介绍包括作者介绍、与文章话题相关的文化知识注释,在阐述背景的同时兼顾了趣味性和知识性的结合;本书的练习答案附上了所有相关英文习语及谚语的参考译文,能使学生加深了解,从而更生动地掌握相关用法。
本系列教材由复旦大学大学英语教学部研究生教研室编写。在编写过程中,得到了复旦大学研究生院领导及培养处负责同志的大力支持,并获得研究生项目经费的资助,在此表示衷心的感谢。
由于编写人员教学任务重,时间紧,同时限于水平,教材中的错误及不妥之处在所难免,敬请读者提出宝贵意见。
