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的培养,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》,编写了一套研究生英语教材。本套教材由五个系列组成,包括:《研究生综合英语》四册及配套的教学参考书、《研究生听力》两册、《研究生英语写作》、《研究生英语翻译》和《研究生英语文学欣赏》。
本书为《研究生综合英语》第二册的教学参考书。
本系列参考书为教师及学生提供与《研究生综合英语》相关的知识点,包括:预备活动(Warming-up Activities)、背景材料(Additional Information for the Teacher抯 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(Langue Points)、练习答案(Key to Exercises)以及参考
