新编英语报刊选读答案
新编英语报刊选读答案【篇一：最新英语报刊选读部分翻译】txt>榜样作用:奥巴马从里根身上学到了什么奥巴马去年5月曾邀请一些研究总统执政的史学家到白宫共进工作晚餐。
这是他入主白宫以来第二次邀请同一批史学家共进晚餐。
奥巴马在晚宴上敦请学者们能给出一些前任总统执政期的经验。
随着宾客交流渐进佳境，一些史学家逐渐感到奥巴马似乎对谈论林肯的工作班底，肯尼迪的智库兴致不高，而对令人感到亲近的保守人士、前总统里根所做出的成就更感兴趣，而正是他在30年前入主白宫后便引发了一场革命。
实际上除了毫无先期制约外，奥巴马和里根还有若干相同的才干。
然而，奥巴马显然对里根让民众能改变对政府态度的办法印象深刻。
有出席晚宴的史学家事后表示，这位第44届总统已把第40届总统看作是一个至关重要的参考基准。
让负责编纂里根日记、并两次出席晚宴的douglas brinkley留下最深刻的印象是，奥巴马已找到了行为榜样。
他称，榜样因素会影响到许多政策，而榜样的作用各不相同。
奥巴马在以里根式的方法履行着责任。
当奥巴马在国会、内阁和民众前发表第二次国情咨文演讲时，里根的榜样和政策已体现在其中。
他在演讲中提议冻结可自由支配开支和联邦政府雇员工资，推动简化税法和削减成百亿美元的国防预算，同时，他还呼吁两党共同努力改革社会保障体制。
以上每一条建议都是由身处第三年任期，在高失业率期内遭遇中期选举失败的总统所提出。
里根曾在1983年的国情咨文演讲中表示，在未来两年内，两党各派人士和各种政治势力要重视政府在今后长期的，和两党共同承担的责任，而不应由短期的党派政策所左右。
人们最初难以想象这位毕业于常春藤联合会院校，以前是夏威夷律师的总统，会与里根有任何共同之处，前者支持更大规模的联邦政府投资、更广的社保覆盖面，以及要求对华尔街和石油业提高监管力度。
但实际情况是，奥巴马越来越借重这位前任总统的思路，把他当成对自己有益的模板是清晰无误的。
自去年11月中期选举以来，奥巴马常把企业高管邀请到白宫座谈，造访美国商会，并在自己的政治理念做出妥协。

The dilemma is simply how to sustain the growth while cutting the national debt./ The dilemma is just how to rein in or reduce public spending or stimulus packages from now on while maintaining economically sustainable development over the long run. / The dilemma is how to cut the government debt without undermining the sustainable development of economy.58. The document acknowledges the risks of cutting public spending given the weakrecovery of global economy. However, this loss will be offset by potential gains such as helping stabilize bond markets, bring down interest rates as governments borrow less, and encourage more private investment.59. The emerging markets need to boost their own spending and shift to "internaldemand" for future growth, and rely less on spending from developed nations. 60. The centerpiece of the weekend's discussions was expected to be the issue thathow the developed economies stay in the course of sustainable development while having their economies restructured or reformed to strengthen this economic recovery and to boost long-term economic advancement.。

《英美报刊选读》答案
《英美报刊选读》答案《英美报刊选读》一、教学目的通过本课程的学习，使学员对英美报刊有一个清晰的了解，认识英美报刊语言、文体、词汇、语法等基本特点，掌握英美报刊阅读的基本知识及技巧，为独立阅读英美报刊打下良好的基础。
二、教材特点与该课程旧教材（第1版）相比，本教材具有以下特点：1．为使学生改变以往依赖教师和英汉词典的学习习惯，培养他们独自排解疑难词语的能力，编者不但向他们推荐工具书，并教授他们使用方法；为使他们能加深对词汇的记忆，还介绍词法和重要词根及词缀。
2．为使学生掌握必要的新闻词语和扩大词汇量，本书在“新闻词语解说”中尽量结合课文，讲透疑难词语。
此外还列出一些与这些词语或课文内容有关的课外词汇。
3．为使学生掌握必要的读报知识，本书在“背景知识”中尽量结合课文，介绍重要的并时常见诸报端的人物、党派和组织机构等，并举例说明其重要性。
答每课后的练习题——Questions,使他们基本了解课文的主要内容。
然后，再逐段或跳跃式选段对学生需要掌握的内容、新闻词语和背景知识进行阅读和问答式方式讲解。
如果备课充分，学生的英语水平又高，教员可采用美英教员教授母语的方法，抛开课本或讲义，只讲有关课文的重点词语、背景知识和写作手法等。
这样，学生除预习外，课后还要结合教员在课堂上所讲的内容好好复习课文。
这两种授课方式的好处是，使学生通过自学（指预习）和教师的指导，自己主动去掌握知识。
与以教员为中心的灌输式教学方式相比，学生更能巩固所学，并使他们今后更能发挥学习潜能。
此外，这也使有的教员摆脱了那种课文注释那么详细而觉得在课堂上没有多少可讲的被动地位和局面。
当然，这只是本人的实践和看法。
我相信在调动学生主动学习的积极性方面还有更多、更好的教学法。
五.考试说明“英美报刊选读”期末考试题型介绍1．报刊名称及常见报刊词汇英译汉：十小题，每题2分，共20分内容以辅导书的附录为主. 2．阅读理解：2篇文章，选自作业题，选择题或判断题，共40分。

电大英语报刊选读课程导学一、课程总的概况课程领域概括这是英语教学中的一门不能或缺的课程。
通过学习本课程，使学生掌握常见报刊词汇，报刊文章标题的翻译，学会看懂较简单的英语报刊文章。
通过阅读英语报刊了解国际时事，了解各国的政治，历史、文化、教育、人民和国家概况等与英语学习有关的背景知识。
以利学生进一步巩固和提高英语学习，培养学生英语阅读的能力。
目标引导本课程的教学目的是通过学生自主学习及教师的导学和助学（包括面授辅导），使学生掌握常见报刊词汇，报刊文章标题的翻译，学会看懂较简单的英语报刊文章。
通过阅读英语报刊了解国际时事，了解各国的政治，历史、文化、教育、人民和国家概况等与英语学习有关的背景知识。
进一步巩固和提高学生英语阅读理解和简单翻译的能力。
二、使用学习资源1．根据主教材学习1．本课程采用的文字主教材为《美英报刊文章阅读》（精选本第二版），及上海电视大学外语系编辑的报刊活页。
本课程教学安排为一学期。
课内学时为72，共4学分，（每周4学时）。
《美英报刊文章阅读》共30课，选其中10为必学内容，其余内容供学生自学，10课必学内容为Lessons1,3,4,8,10,13,14,19,24,26。
以上10课用10周学完。
每周一课。
2．本教材课文并非按语言难易循序渐进，而是按内容编写，学生自学时有一定难度。
学生学习时重点是根据教师的导学，掌握一定的英语报刊常见词汇，基本会看懂报刊文章的大意；通过翻译报刊标题了解报刊大致内容；通过阅读英语报刊文章了解国际时事、各国的历史、文化、风俗、习惯，掌握相关的信息。
因此阅读和理解是重点。
教师助学时应着重帮助学生掌握重点，分析讲解难点，而语法分析、语言点的掌握不作要求。
建议学生在课后以练习为线索，多看看英语报刊文章。
考前复习也是以练习，常见词汇和推荐的英语报刊文章为主。
3．本课程实际是泛读快速阅读训练的混合型课程。
泛读是一门进行大量阅读实践的课程，应该突出"泛"的特点。
本课程培养的是阅读能力，注重的是面的理解，整体的理解，而不停留于那些对理解无关紧要的细节上。
4．学生应按教学计划完成各阶段的阅读任务。
在独立进行阅读时，学生应努力根据上、下文及背景知识解决所遇到的问题或难点，尽可能少查词典，如需要查词典时，也应尽可能使用英英词典。
5．阅读速度训练应按循序渐进的原则安排阅读难度与阅读量，逐步进行强化式训练。
训练时应注重介绍一些常见的技巧，如浏览、略读、复读等。
在平时教学过程中，也会向学生推荐一些英文报刊上难度适当的文章，供学生阅读。
2．根据辅教材学习报刊活页共10课，用5周学完。
余下3周用于期中考试及期末总复习。
