精彩书摘

　　《现代大学英语（精读6 第2版）》：
　　Earlier this year， the publication of Amy Chua's Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother incited a collective airing out of many varieties of race-based hysteria. But absent from the millions of words written in response to the book was any serious consideration of whether Asian Americans were in fact taking over this country. If it is true that they are collectively dominating in elite high schools and universities， is it also true that Asian Americans are dominating in the real world? My strong suspiaon was that this was not so， and that the reasons would not be hard to find. If we are a collective juggernaut that inspires such awe and fear， why does it seem that so many Asians are so readily perceived to be， as I myself have felt， the products of a timid culture， easily pushed around by more assertiye people， and thus basically invisible?
　　A few months ago， I received an e-mail from a young man named Jefferson Mao， who after attending Stuyvesant High School had recently graduated from the University of Chicago. He wanted my advice about "being an Asian writer." This is how he described himself: "I got good grades and I love literature and I want to be a writer and an intellectual; at the same time， I'm
　　the first person in my family to go to college， my parents don't speak English very well， and we don't own the apartment in Flushing that we live in. I mean， I'm proud of my parents and my neighborhood and what I perceive to be my artistic potential or whatever， but sometimes I feel like I'm jumping the gun a generation or two too early."
　　One bright， cold Sunday afternoon， I ride the 7 train to its last stop in Flushing， where the storefront signs are all written in Chinese and the sidewalks are a slow-moving river of impassive faces. Mao is waiting for me at the entrance of the Main Street subway station， and together we walk to a nearby Vietnamese restaurant.
　　Mao has a round face， with eyes behind rectangular wire-frame glasses. Since graduating， he has been living with his parents， who emigrated from China when Mao was eight years old. His mother is a manicurist; his father is a physical therapist's aide. Lately， Mao has been making the familiar hour- and-a-half ride from Flushing to downtown Manhattan to tutor a white Stuyvesant freshman.
　　Entrance to Stuyvesant， one of the most competitive public high schools in the country， is determined solely by performance on a test: the top 3.7 percent of all New York City students who take the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test hoping to go to Stuvvesant are accepted. There are no set- asides for the underprivileged or， conversely， for alumni or other privileged groups. There is no formula to encourage "diversity" or any nebulous concept of "well-roundedness" or "character." Here we have something like pure meritocracy. This is what it looks like: Asian Americans， who make up 12.6 percent of New York City， make up 72 percent of the high school.
　　This year， 569 Asian Americans scored high enough to earn a slot at Stuyvesant， along with 179 whites， 13 Hispanics， and 12 blacks. Such dramatic overrepresentation， and what it may be read to imply about the intelligence of different groups of New Yorkers， has a way of making people uneasy. But intrinsic intelligence， of course， is precisely what Asians don't believe in. They believe-and have proved-that the constant practice of test taking will improve the scores of whoever commits to it. All throughout Flushing， as well as in Bayside， one can find "cram schools，" or storefront academies， that drill students in test preparation after school， on weekends， and during summer break. "Learning math is not about learning math，" an instructor at one called Ivy Prep was quoted in The New York Times as saying， "It's about weightlifting. You are pumping the iron of math." Mao puts it more specifically: "You learn quite simply to nail any standardized test you take."

前言/序言

　　“现代大学英语”精读教材，自2000年年初陆续出版以来，不知不觉到了该修订的时候。再不修订，作为编者，我们于心难安。基于此，我们计划陆续推出1-6册的第二版。但是由于第一版一、二册的原编者当中有相当一部分人目前其他任务十分繁重，实在分身乏术，因此只好委托杨立民、徐克容两位（原主编陆培敏也参与了第二版的酝酿和讨论）具体负责前两册的再版工作。
　　根据使用者的反馈，这次修订我们不打算推倒重来。原来的总体结构和编写原则大致不变，保留大部分原有选篇，以保证教材的相对稳定，便于经验的积累。但是我们希望工作做得再细一些，更加合理一些，以更好地体现我们的各项编写原则。
　　具体说来，我们改动的地方大致有以下几个方面：
　　1.根据使用的情况，我们发现有的课文不够理想，决定予以替换。还有的课文，因为时过境迁，也更换成了更近一些的篇章。但替换的课文不超过总量的30%。
　　2.第一版课文的前后次序也不尽合理，难易梯度不够自然，因此也做了较大的调整。
　　3.考虑到中学大纲对词汇量的要求已经达到5，000左右，原来我们设定的词汇量为2，000左右的起点需要适当提高。原来有意在第一学年放慢进度，集中精力盘活中学所学，第二版不再做此强调。
　　4.由于以上原因，牵一发动全身，必须重新编写练习和其他相关部分。这方面修改的部分可能超过了一半。
　　5.首先练习部分总量大大压缩，词汇和语法练习尽量控制在10个之内。我们希望这样能一方面突出重点，另一方面有效减轻学生负担，使学生学得更加轻松自如。
　　6.第二版教材将明显强调课前预习。要求学生尽量自主解决难点，理解课文；而且自主发现、整理、归纳本课语言要点。尤其重要的是，他们必须开动脑筋，学会思考，对课文内容、观点、意图、主题等提出尽量多、尽量深刻的问题，培养批判性思维能力。第二版中练习的另一个特点是更加强调口语实践，尤其是围绕课文内容的各种口语活动，形式更加多样，要求也更有挑战性。练习的第三个特点是设计中尽可能取得综合性的效果。
　　7.1-4册每册十六单元。其中十四个单元以课文为中心，每周一单元，剩余两单元为阶段性复习。其目的：一是通过练习和复习巩固已学的部分；二是通过测试让学生进行自我评估；三是留下余地，使教师可以根据情况做一些必要的填平补齐的工作。每册最后一单元都是较长的剧本，可以留作机动。5-6册另有安排，详见补充说明。
　　8.第二版教材前四册后面都附有本册书中出现的常用动词、常用动词短语（或短语动词）、常用介词短语及其他惯用语、常用的动词用法类型、常用动宾词组等。希望学生重视，能很好利用。
　　以上是我们这次修订所做的改动。如前所说，第一版的一些基本方面我们仍然坚持，其中最重要的一点是关于基本功的理念，因为我们认为在本科教学阶段，它应该是重点中的重点。教师不能也不必试图把一切都教给学生，关键是打好基本功。精读课的名称可以商量，但我们必须坚守基本功的最后阵地，切不可对基本功的标准设定过低，对学生基本功的现状估计过于乐观，或是不顾条件，无视生源、师资和培养目标的不同，盲目贪多图快。
　　我们为什么始终坚持精读课的重要性呢？有时学生也会问：为什么好好一篇文章要切割分解，并在上面花那么多时间？对此我们的回答是：有些文章内容是如此重要，语言是如此含蓄，思想是如此深刻，结构是如此严谨，如不反复阅读，细细揣摩，就很难真正读懂、读通。实际上，人并不是生来就会读书。不少人一辈子都没有读书的兴趣和习惯，也不懂读书的方法，因此需要专门的训练。精读课之所以重要，还因为我们把它当作基础阶段进行基本功训练的主要平台。这不仅指的是语音、语法和词汇的教学以及听说读写译技能的培养，而且还包括知识面的扩大和分析批判能力的提高。此外，这门课也是指导学习方法，培养人文素质的理想平台。
