內容介紹
簡介
本書由10個Units組成：1.方向2.描述3.方位4.住所5.旅行（1）6.旅行（2）7.公告8.
交通9.工作 10.新聞。每個Unit含幾個Sections，每個Section由幾個Parts組成，其內容都和人們
的日常生活、學習和工作息息相關，特別是對那些即將走出國門的人來說，這些內容給他們提供了必不可
少的語言和背景知識。在選材上注重AuthenticEnglish， 目的在於使讀者不但能聽懂播音員照本宣讀式
的正式英語，同時也為他們提供大量的真實性英語，使他們對異國他鄉的英語不會感到陌生。
本書分學生用書和教師用書兩部分。學生用書主要是練習，同時配有辭彙表、插圖及少量補充練習。教
師用書含錄音原文、練習答案及原文譯文三部分。
這本書題材廣泛，知識性強，實用面廣，訓練技能全面，練習形式多樣，語言自然、生動、活潑，適
合中等以上水平的讀者，並可做聽力課教材。
此書對國外的TOEFL、IELTS考試及國內的PETS（Pub1icEnglishTestSystem）考試，即全國公共英
語等級考試，都極有幫助。PETS即原全國外語水平考試WSK・英語水平考試EPT。
本書的練習有多項選擇（MultipleChoice）、正誤判斷（TrueorFa1se）以及簡短回答問題等形式，
而這些練習形式正是PETS、IELTS及TOEFL聽力考試的試題形式。對於PETS考試來說，此書適合於3―5
級的考生。
本書作者是北京語言文化大學（原北京語言學院）出國人員外語培訓部英語教研究室的老師，多年從
事英語聽力教學，經驗豐富，熟悉PETS、TOEFL及IELTS等考試。
