为配合教育部*新颁布的《大学英语课程教学要求》的执行,提高学生的自主学习能力,我们精心编写了与**级**教材《21世纪大学英语读写教程(修订版)》相配套的辅助学习材料——《自主学习导读》(1-4册),以配合该教材的实施。
这套《自主学习导读》共分四册,分别针对教材1-4册的内容按单元编写而成。内容涉及每个单元的课文概要、文章结构、难句英汉释义、**词汇和短语的辨析、句子结构的讲解等,旨在帮助学生更加透彻地理解原文。同时,还为课文练习提供了部分答案。
本《自主学习导读》的一大特色就是为每一单元精心提供了一个单元测试,这些测试完全针对改革后的大学英语四、六级考试(710分)新题型,由多项内容组成,包括:选词填空、快速阅读理解、仔细阅读理解、完形填空、简答、改错、句子翻译和写作等,目的在于帮助学生巩固课堂所学知识,提高语言技能和应试能力,以优异成绩通过四、六级考试。
