本書根據(jù)《大學(xué)英語教學(xué)大綱》(理工科本科用)專業(yè)閱讀部分的要求編寫,是高等學(xué)校環(huán)境科學(xué)、環(huán)境工程或相關(guān)專業(yè)的教材,也可供同等英語程度環(huán)境科學(xué)工作者及環(huán)境工程師或相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的科技人員使用。
1.環(huán)境科學(xué)與工程專業(yè)英語第四版教材分為八個部分(PART)。每個部分含若干個單元(Unit),共42個單元。每個單元由一篇課文和一篇閱讀材料組成。閱讀材料提供與課文相應(yīng)的背景知識或課文的續(xù)篇,以進(jìn)一步拓寬課文的內(nèi)容,根據(jù)課文內(nèi)容,配有相應(yīng)的練習(xí)題、注釋和詞匯表。
2.環(huán)境科學(xué)與工程專業(yè)英語第四版課文和閱讀材料均選自原版英文教科書、科技報(bào)告、著作、專業(yè)期刊、國際會議論文集等,題材較廣,從縱橫兩個方面覆蓋環(huán)境科學(xué)與工程專業(yè)的相關(guān)內(nèi)容。
3.環(huán)境科學(xué)與工程專業(yè)英語第四版教材涉及環(huán)境科學(xué)與工程專業(yè)英語的詞匯和常用的化學(xué)、化工等領(lǐng)域的科技詞匯,詞匯出現(xiàn)率較高。為了使學(xué)生從基礎(chǔ)英語學(xué)習(xí)過程“單純學(xué)習(xí)”轉(zhuǎn)變到“使用”英語解決實(shí)際問題上來,教材的練習(xí)主要是以詞匯、短語或句子的英譯漢或漢譯英,用英語回答問題或概括論文的主要觀點(diǎn),閱讀文章后給出某一章節(jié)或段落或文章的摘要或小結(jié)(summary)等主觀題型為主,而有別于基礎(chǔ)英語學(xué)習(xí)采用客觀選擇題為主的練習(xí)
4.環(huán)境科學(xué)與工程專業(yè)英語第四版根據(jù)《大學(xué)英語教學(xué)大綱》(理工科本科用)專業(yè)閱讀部分的要求編寫的,是高等學(xué)校環(huán)境科學(xué)、環(huán)境工程或相關(guān)專業(yè)的教材,也可供同等英語程度環(huán)境科學(xué)工作者及環(huán)境工程師或相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的科技人員使用。
