這本《VOA醫(yī)學英語聽力教程——健康報道專題》由林韶蓉編,精選了36篇最近三年來的VOA健康報道,按12個專題編輯成冊。題材廣泛,既涉及諸如慢性病、艾滋病等傳統(tǒng)話題,也包括豬流感、輻射等一些較新的熱門話題。由于原報道語速較慢,篇幅較長,本書編者精心設(shè)計,使用專業(yè)語音軟件調(diào)整語速,以更好地鍛煉學生的聽力水平,并將每篇報道錄音剪輯成三部分,每部分都配上相應(yīng)的練習,既利于老師上課靈活使用,也能讓學生保持注意力。配套練習形式多樣,既有考察學生基本聽力理解和記憶的選擇題、判斷題、填空題和問答題,也有考察學生英語綜合應(yīng)用能力的語篇復述題。此外,每篇文章都配有內(nèi)容豐富翔實的背景知識介紹,文章中出現(xiàn)的生詞皆標注音標,難句均配以中文翻譯,以幫助學生更好地理解聽力原文、提高聽力水平。
