本科生如何阅读英文原版材料

恭喜你！！看到了这篇文章！！！

如果你从未看过英文原版教材的话，相信会因此产生不小的改变

PS, 绝非鸡血

阅读英文原版书籍对于绝大多数专业的研究生而言，是无可回避的问题。毕竟很多教材只有英文版，论文也多是英文杂志或者常常追本溯源到某篇英文原典。

但这说的是研究生，对于本科生而言，似乎总有可以完美闪避英语的学习方案（除了四六级），不少同学还会因此大呼过瘾。但其实阿哲校长要提醒你了，其实无论今后做科研与否，阅读原版书籍都将是大有裨益的。一来原版教材实在是太好读了~ 二来原版教材真正能铺平高阶英文研修之路~ 第三，难道你还没有发现这个社会几乎任何文明职业都很难完全离开英文吗？

为什么原版教材好读？

相信大家都曾经在英文马马虎虎的时候，被英文小说或者杂志等等这些阅读题常见来源给惊吓到。这种生活中的片段截取英文是最难的，一来是词汇量范围难以琢磨，二来是各种定语倒装等现象层出不穷，三来往往有点俚语夹杂甚至是特定作者的原创词句。

而这恼人的三大英文难点，教材几乎统统没有~！！！

关于词汇量

英文教材的目标是什么？把一个学术知识点说清楚对吧？往往一个单元一个小节内反复出现同样几个核心学术词汇，词汇量范围在十几页的范围内极窄。简直是背单词的神器啊~ 你想想，一个angular momentum（角动量）在一页纸上出现10次，一个单元出现200次，你会记不住？你简直要忘~！不~！掉~！！！没错，英文原版教材就是背单词神器，各种高端单词瞬间就记下来了。如果你要考GRE出国，恭喜你，你已经在开始准备GRE前牢牢掌握一半了。

关于语法

教材就是用来让人无歧义地看懂的文字，所以英文教材选用的语法，都是特别中规中矩的~！！！教材涉及到要让很多人阅读，来自不同的地域甚至有不同的语法特点，于是教材只能选用最标准的定式英语。新加坡英语（singlish）

有新加坡语法，但是新加坡的英文教材只会有标准语法。通过原版教材学好标准语法之后，进阶灵活的口语语法就顺风顺水了。

关于俚语

如果某人是第一次听老外说grab a chow 或者drive me banana这种俚语的话，很可能两眼一黑。确实俚语繁多而无规律，但英文教材可不会这样，它为了避免歧义以及保证严肃性，几乎不可能出现俚语。而这就意味着，你可以集中精力在学术内容上，而不是去记那些一年才会碰到一次的俚语（对于这种小概率用到的东西，其实人真的遗忘率很高）。

综上所述，当你开始读原版教材时，绳命体验大致是这样的：

①新单元第一页会觉得有点难，有几个新单词，需要查查字典。

②唉呀我去，怎么老是这几个单词！？而且反复高频出现，让人再也忘

不掉这个单词的意思，甚至在标准定式的语法表达下，已经开始用英文在思维了，中文不再经常跳出来烦你了。

③开始理解这个知识点的意义了，而且是在英文环境中理解知识点。你不但学术长进了，还锻炼了英文能力。

④反复按步骤①到③循环，读完了整本教材，发现其实英文教材只是厚，但是挺好读的。于是以后慢慢开始读越来越多的英文原版教材。

⑤英文教材读够十本的时候，你发现忽然再去看英文的小说啦、报纸啦、

美剧啦等等，其实都只是在规范英语下作一点小修正。而此时的你再也不害怕英文了，仅仅需要在一个相对high level的词汇和语法水平下对俚语或特殊用法补缺补漏而已。

这种对英语和专业知识一箭双雕的乐事，只有阅读英文原版教材才能够获得。自从我大二在香港科技大学交换的时候开始阅读原版教材，就颇有相见恨晚之感，以致后来能找到原版教材几乎不会碰中文版，英文水平也随之提升不少。学英语是件循序渐进的事情，阅读英文原版教材可以作为高阶进阶的起点，以此

为基础再去攻克之前说到的英文小说或者杂志这样的传统难点，也会觉得已经不再是难点。

所以，其实世界上哪有什么《如何阅读英文原版教材》这种指导文章？你看，或不看，原版教材就在那里，只增不减。相信我，无论你是大一大二还是研究生，只要勇敢开始，就会发现没有那么难，英文和专业水平相得益彰，绝对收获满满。而世界图书出版社为国内引进了大量影印版教材，价格适中，相信找到一本合适的并非难事。

倘若非要回答“本科生如何阅读英文原版教材”这种问题的话，那无疑是——只要读起来~！

意识到读原版教材的重要性才是最关键的事，接下来只要开始读，步骤①到⑤就将水到渠成依次发生。不信？不信你试试~！！

So easy, 长者再也不敢怒斥我too simple, sometimes naive了~

（真抱歉此文拖了一年才发，完全是因为写差不多了不甚满意被搁置，然后各种忙就忘记了。刚才受朋友提醒，赶紧接着补完发上来，当做是大家生日祝福的回礼，感谢把我在人人网的诸位朋友。因为是时隔一年完成的文字，欢迎大家猜猜看从哪句开始是今天所作，先猜对的同学路过北京的话我请他吃饭哈~ 如果想交个朋友，欢迎加我人人好友，或者微信tongzhe100）

阅读英文绘本注意事项

各位家长好：这是我们英语教研界的专家针对阅读英文绘本时要不要翻译成汉语所进行的解答。大家可以看看了解一下。作为一位坚持每天陪孩子阅读英文绘本的妈妈，对于这个问题，我曾经也查过很多资料，很多人都说不需要，可以直接用英语讲解，但是，结合实际运用，我却发现这不是绝对的，还是要根据具体情况而言。无论是阅读中文绘本还是英文绘本，兴趣一定是排在第一位的。所以对于孩子而言如果他不排除英语，那么全程可以都用英语阅读，不需要中文翻译，可是，如果孩子中文已经比较强势了，排斥英语阅读，那么就要采用折中的办法，先将英语阅读和中文翻译相结合，然后慢慢的从单词到短句不翻译，只翻译长句，最后过渡到只用英语阅读，全部不翻译。

比如我的儿子，两岁开始就在看英语绘本，看的第一本是《Brown Bear, B rown Bear, What Do You See?》，因为担心自己的儿子英语水平，所以我是用点读笔给他点读的，全过程，我没有说任何中文，他却非常喜欢这本书，也因为太小，对语言没有任何的排斥感，根本就不需要中文翻译。反复阅读和听英语绘本后，儿子就可以把英语对应到书中的图画内容上来，开始可以一个一个的蹦英语单词，整句的描述虽然不能用英语说，但是听完一句后，可以根据图画内容，说出这句话的中文意思，大多数情况都是对的，如果不对，我也是用手指图画内容，让他反复听，听多了，看懂了，他自己就会纠正过来。就像学习母语一样，此时他学习英语的方式，更多的是通过反复的听和看绘本，自行将听到的语音与绘本图像联系起来，把英语思维和语感慢慢渗透进大脑,从而学会英语。对于年龄小一点的孩子来说，这是最好的学习英语的方法，所以你完全不用为他翻译。

Passage 1 There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom. But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of student. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools. You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained.

Motion sickness The upchuck wagon How not to feel queasy in a self-driving motor car EXPECTATIONS are high, among those boosting the idea of self-driving cars, that people will be able to do other things, such as reading, working on a laptop or having a nap, when riding in such a vehicle. But for many that is an unlikely prospect. Apart from those who have no intention of even getting into an autonomous car, which currently amounts to some 23% of Americans, another 36% would be willing to ride but would not take their eyes off the road, according to a study published in 2014 by the University of Michigan. Some of those people will be looking out of the window because it helps to avoid nausea, dizziness and vomiting, particularly if they are among the 5-10% of the population who regularly experience the unpleasant symptoms of motion sickness.

Bob Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come cross his desk every day. “It’s amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves,”he says. “Resumes arrive with stains. Some candidates don’t bother to spell the company’s name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate, ”Crossley concludes. If they cannot take of these details. “Why should we trust them with a job?” Can we pay too much attention to detail? Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. “To keep from losing the forest for the trees,”says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, “we must constantly ask ourselves how the details we’re working on fit into the larger picture they don’t, we should drop them and move to something else.” Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. “The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time,”says Garfield. “But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary.”Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake. Too often we believe what accounts for other’s success is some special secret or a lucky break. But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow. 66. According to the passage, some job applicants were rejected________ A) because of their carelessness as shown in their failure to present a clean copy of a resume B) because of their inadequate education as shown in their poor spelling in writing a resume C) because they failed to give a detailed description of their background in their applications D) because they eliminated their names from the applicants list themselves 67. The word “perfectionists”(Line 1, Para 3)refers to those who________ A) demand others to get everything absolutely right B) know how to adjust their goals according to the circumstances C) pay too much attention to details only to lose their major objectives D) are capable of achieving perfect results in whatever they do 68. Which of the following is the author’s advice to the reader? A) Although too much attention to details may be costly, they should not be overlooked B) Don’t forget details when drawing pictures

Unit 1 Watching video SCRIPT Narrator: The cheetah. With an astonishing ability to sprint from zero to eighty kilometers per hour in just three seconds, it’s the fastest animal on land. At full speed, it can reach almost 100 kilometers per hour. Nothing can escape a cheetah at full sprint. Unfortunately, this beautiful, shy animal is in serious danger of becoming extinct. In order to help, National Geographic is sending a team into the Moremi Wildlife Reserve of Botswana. Their goal is to help save these magnificent creatures by capturing them on film. The city of Johannesburg, South Africa, is the final stop befor e the team’s journey into the wilds of Africa. Heading the expedition is Chris Johns, a photographer for more than 25 years. Chris has been planning this trip for a long time, and accompanying him is guide Dave Hamman. Dave has lived in southern Africa most of his life and knows the region well. His knowledge will be useful as the two men head more than 800 kilometers north into Botswana and the wonderful Okavango Delta. The Moremi Reserve is a truly magical place. It seems that Africa’s entire animal king dom resides in the region. Zebras, buffaloes, and elephants are easily viewed from the rough dirt road. Even a giraffe makes an appearance. Chris and Dave continue their drive into the evening. They need to be far into the wilderness to begin their task: finding cheetahs. Narrator: The next day, they’re up early to begin their search. Chris Johns, National Geographic Photographer: “You can’t just drive out there and order up a cheetah. It doesn’t happen like that. You know that it could take days, weeks.” Narrator: But then something incredibly unexpected occurs . . . Dave Hamman: “I don’t believe this.” Narrator: It’s a female and five of her young. Hamman: “This is just not normal.” Narrator: During all of his years in the bush, Dave has never located so many cheetahs this quickly. This is exactly what they had been hoping for. The discovery is especially promising for Chris. Johns: “Cheetahs are a metaphor for some of Africa’s conservation problems. Because cheetahs need range, and they’re a good wa y to explain to people that loss of habitat means the potential loss of species. And it’s possible that in my lifetime cheetahs could become extinct in the wild, and that’s —to me —a tragedy that’s unspeakable.” Narrator: The Moremi Wildlife Reserve has offered Chris one of the last windows into the natural world of the cheetah. It will take a while for the cheetahs to trust Chris, but if he succeeds, he knows he’ll be able to take the photographs he really wants: a shot of a cheetah pursuing and k illing its prey, or a “kill sequence.” Johns: “We know there are certain things that a cheetah story has to have. One of the most important things it has to have—which is an incredibly difficult thing to get—is a kill sequence, and you’re always looking for that picture.” Narrator: Cheetahs are capable of tremendous bursts of speed, and have the capacity to gain speed more quickly than a sports car.

大学英语阅读精选篇

Passage 1 No one prior to World War II more trenchantly analyzed the philosophical differences between utopians and realists than did E.H.Carr in his celebrated work, which, although published in 1939, did not have its impact in America until after World War II. Carr used the term utopians for idealists who placed emphasis on international law and organization and on the influence of morality and public opinion in the affairs of nations. He probably did not intend the more pejorative connotation that attached to the term utopians after World War II as na?ve opponents of power politics expounded by realists. Indeed, since the end of the Cold War, the idealist concept of the harmony of national interests in peace has received new attention in a more recent neoliberal-neorealist debate. The failures of the League of Nations in the 1930s cast doubt on the harmony of interest in peace, which appeared to accord with the interests of satisfied, status-quo powers with democratic governments, but not with the perceived needs of revisionists, totalitarians, authoritarian states seeking boundary changes, enhanced status, greater power, and, especially in the case of Nazi Germany, revenge for the humiliation of the post-World War I settlement imposed by the Versailles treaty. Contrary to the utopian assumption, national self-determination did not always produce representative governments. Instead, the overthrow of the old monarchical order gave rise in many places, including Russia, to a more pervasive and oppressive totalitarian states. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939 between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany set the stage for Adolph Hitler’s invasion of Poland, the outbreak of World War II, the partition of Poland, and the absorption of Baltic states into the Soviet Union, all in flagrant contravention of the standards of international conduct set forth in utopian theory. 1.Who took a strong analysis of the philosophical differences between utopians and realists? A.Adolph Hitler did B. E.H.Carr did C.Neorealist did D.Molotov did 2.What did utopian mean in Carr’s opinion? A.Idealists who placed emphasis on international law and organization and on the influence of morality and public opinion in the affairs of nations. B.Na?ve opponents of power politics. C.Status-quo powers D.Revisionists. 3.What is the consequence of national self-determination? A.Producing representative governments. B.Giving rise to a more pervasive and oppressive totalitarian states. C.Both A and B D.Sometimes A, sometimes B. 4.What was the influence of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939? A.to set the stage for Adolph Hitler’s invasion of Poland B.leading to the outbreak of World War II C. a cause of the partition of Poland D.all of A,B and C 5.Which one can serve as the title of this passage?
