精彩書摘

In the nineteenth century, the United States grew quickly. Artists who explored the frontier produced an array of works depicting Western scenes. Some mass-produced their works; others displayed them in traveling shows. These artists offered the public some of the first views of the West. Their works shaped peoples views of the Western frontier.
In large part, the works of these artists described the Western frontier of myth. Many of the artists depicted landscapes and cultures yet untouched by the modem world. In fact, set- dement had already destroyed aspects of the natural environment and the way of life of many Native Americans. Some artists portrayed vast, unspoiled landscapes. Others portrayed Native Americans as noble savages in perfect harmony with nature.
The works of Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Moran are examples of paintings that shaped the Western landscape of myth. Bierstadt painted vast scenes of endless plains and mountain ranges. Moran portrayed the wild splendor of such sites as the Grand Canyon.
Landscape photographers also played a part in shaping the mythic West. The western expanse appeared silent, still, and timeless in photos. Some artists portrayed pristine (原始 的) landscapes. Others, such as Carleton Watkins, explored humankinds union with nature. Watkinss pictures of Yosemite had such an impact that President Abraham Lincoln placed limits on the region to protect it from misuse.
Many artists depictions of Native Americans portrayed rich cultures as unaffected by Western expansion. These artists sought to preserve the customs of Native Americans. George Catlin was one of the first artists to document Native cultures. His paintings showed their vanishing way of life. Likewise, photographer Edward S. Curtis recorded the diverse cultures of the West in his North American Indian Project. Both artists presented Native cul- tures of a recent past instead of revealing the current challenges faced by Native peoples see- king to adapt to their changing world.
Unlike Catlin and Curtis who sought to preserve a record of Native cultures, Frederic Remingtons works called on the settler to tame the Wild West and its peoples. His inventive works explored the tensions between the celebrated cowhand and the Native peoples. Remingtons works glorified white settlement. His images assumed that.the setters takeover of the land was justified.

前言/序言

　　閱讀既是理解和吸收語言文化信息的重要手段之一，又是語言文化信息的最便捷的輸入源。我國教育部新製定的全日製義務教育和普通高級中學《英語課程標準》對學生的閱讀技能從三級到九級提齣瞭明確的要求。在目前國內外的各種英語測試中，閱讀理解所占的比重越來越大。為此，我們特嚮你推薦“中學英語拓展閱讀叢書”（Timed Readings Plus）。本叢書含有以下3個子係列：社會科學（Social．Studies）、自然科學（．Science）及數學（Mathematics），由上海外語教育齣版社從美國McGraw Hill Glencoe公司引進齣版。社會科學和自然科學各有10個分冊，社會科學每冊有24課，自然科學每冊有25課，每課兩篇閱讀材料；數學有5個分冊，每冊有15課，每課兩篇閱讀材料。本叢書語言地道，知識麵廣，信息量大，能有效訓練學生的閱讀理解能力，提高他們的閱讀速度。每課的第一篇閱讀材料篇幅長400單詞左右，側重訓練學生的快速閱讀能力；閱讀理解題則主要檢查學生是否能在快速閱讀後掌握閱讀材料中的事實和材料所傳達的思想。每課中的第二篇閱讀材料較短，著重訓練學生的閱讀技巧，如：從上下文中猜測生詞的含義，找齣作者的觀點，得齣中心思想，排列事件順序，推斷作者的論點等。因此，我們認為它是一套訓練學生閱讀速度及閱讀理解能力並能同時開拓他們視野的拓展型叢書，適閤外國語學校初二及以上年級學生和非外國語學校高中學生課內、外使用。
　　怎樣使用本係列叢書呢？我們有以下的一些閱讀策略供大傢參考。
　　1．閱讀時，要集中注意力。
　　2．用一分鍾閱讀標題，並思考以下問題：我是否瞭解這一話題？我從這個話題中能學到什麼？這個話題引起瞭我怎樣的思考？
　　3．重點閱讀文章第一句和最後一句，因為第一句和最後一句往往是作者提齣自己觀點和總結全文觀點的關鍵句子。
　　4．快速閱讀全文以獲得材料所傳達給你的信息。如遇到含有姓名、日期或數字等的內容，你應該放慢速度，以便記住這些內容。
　　怎樣纔是一個快速閱讀者？
