序言

英语阅读能力的培养是大学英语教学的重要任务。对此，《大学英语课程教学要求(试行)》做出了定性定量的要求。阅读不仅是获取信息的主要手段，也是学习和掌握语言的有效途径。对于广大非英语专业大学生而言，只有通过大量阅读，才能获得充足的语言输入，进而打下扎实的英语基础，形成较强的英语语感，提高英语综合应用能力。培养英语阅读能力一方面要依赖足够的阅读实践，在阅读中学会阅读；另一方面，能动地运用元认知策略，理性地改进阅读方法，积极地提高英语阅读技能，无疑能对培养较强的阅读能力起到事半功倍的作用。英语阅读能力包含多种要素，而快速处理阅读材料所输入信息的能力是其中极其重要的微技能，这一点早已为阅读研究者所认识。Grabe(1991)曾经指出：“…a description of reading has to account for the notions that fluentreading is rapid，purposeful，interactive，comprehendin9，flexible，and gradually developin9．”。Taylor(1975)也强调“reading hastobefasttobe successful”。一定的阅读速度是获取主要信息所必需的，是保持阅读兴趣、专注于阅读内容所要求的。尤其是在当今这个“信息爆炸”、新知识以几何级增长的时代，快速阅读技能的重要性愈加突出。这样，快速阅读技能的培养也就必然成为大学英语教学的要务。而大学英语教学中要致力于快速阅读教学，就需要有适当的教材作支撑，适用的教材是保证教学活动顺利开展的必要条件。《大学体验英语快速阅读教程》的编写正是为了满足目前国内大学英语教学的这一实际需要。本教程的编写以((大学英语课程教学要求(试行)》为依据。本教程共四册，每册含l8个单元，可供大学英语教学l～4学期使用(按每学期l8周，每周一个单元计)。各册中每单元分Text A和Text B(一篇用于课堂，另一篇供课后练习)。每册配有“Introduction to Important ReadingStrategies and Skills”。本教程的编写采取“主题与技能”相结合的模式，即单元设置围绕内容主题，练习设计针对阅读技能与文章内容。第一、二册练习包括多项选择与正误判断两种题型，第三、四册练习包括多项选择与简短问答两种题型。书后附有全书练习的参考答案。
