谢文怡主编的这本《**商务英语阅读(1)》共14个单元。每个单元的三篇阅读理解文章(TextA,TextB和SupplementaryReading)都聚焦一个主题。选材十分注重选文的权威性和语言的经典性。编者设计的每一道练习题都经过反复斟酌:课文前的Pre-readingQuestions可以帮助教师了解学生对课文主题的熟悉程度,激发学生对阅读材料的兴趣和思考。课文后的comprehension包含两种练习,一种考查学生对课文的理解情况,另一种训练学生的批判性思维。阅读理解的练习围绕阅读材料的**和难点编写,从词汇理解、内容推理和批判性思维三个层面使学生对阅读材料进行积极的思考和感悟。批判性思维练习是本教材的一大特色,为学生提供了与作者思想观点相交融的平台,着重培养学生对国际商务活动的思辨能力,以及分析问题和解决问题的能力。
SupplementaryReading精心设计了适合学生进行小组讨论的思考题。
