大學英語閱讀教程(外文)（簡體書）

《大學英語閱讀教程/全國高等農林院校“十三五”規劃教材》18個單元各圍繞一個主題，涉及語言學習、冒險、電子科技、自信與成功、性別歧視、美國總統、工作、逸事、環境問題、醫學倫理、法律與犯罪、創造性、殘疾人、父母的愛、與管理、能源、恐怖主義與反恐怖主義、醫生的困境等。所選主題貼近學生生活或為當代社會熱點話題，與目前通用的大學英語精讀課本單元主題相輔相成。閱讀材料主要取自公開發表的英語報紙雜志或網絡資源，語言生動有趣，可讀性強。
《大學英語閱讀教程/全國高等農林院校“十三五”規劃教材》每個單元由兩部分組成，包括閱讀文章以及鞏固與拓展。閱讀文章前有熱身問題，旨在激活學生的相關背景知識，引導學生就特定主題進行思考。每個單元的閱讀文章有三個部分，每個部分圍繞一個切入點，包括的文章數量從一篇到三篇不等。閱讀文章后附有詞匯表，詞匯表中列出生詞或重要詞匯的音標、詞性、中英文釋義、常用搭配等，為學生掃清閱讀障礙，強化學生的詞匯知識。每個單元的鞏固與拓展由五個部分組成，包括讀后討論、詞匯練習、句子結構分析與英譯漢、漢譯英、寫作等，促使學生“內化”所學重要語言知識，并及時利用所學知識輸出信息，使語言輸入與語言輸出盡可能地達到平衡、相互促進，形成輸入、吸收、輸出的良性循環。
《大學英語閱讀教程/全國高等農林院校“十三五”規劃教材》閱讀文章中的詞匯采用分級分類標注的形式，其中四級詞匯加粗標注，六級詞匯加下劃線標注，四六級以外的超綱詞匯用斜體標注。一方面，方便學生結合自己的語言水平和學習目標，有效分配注意力；另一方面，滿足了有效詞匯習得中“凸顯性”的前提條件。此外，在同一單元內同一詞匯不重復標注和列出，但在不同單元中同一詞匯會重復標注和列出，尤其是一詞多義或以不同詞性出現時。這樣做的目的是使重要詞匯循環往復、前后重現，以滿足有效詞匯習得中另一前提條件，即單詞出現得足夠頻繁，從而幫助學生掌握四六級詞匯，突破詞匯關，為語言綜合應用能力的提高打下基礎。
