内容概要

　　《VOA医学英语听力教程：健康报道专题》精选了36篇最近三年来的VOA健康报道，按12个专题编辑成册。题材广泛，既涉及诸如慢性病、艾滋病等传统话题，也包括猪流感、辐射等一些较新的热门话题。由于原报道语速较慢，篇幅较长，本书编者精心设计，使用专业语音软件调整语速，以更好地锻炼学生的听力水平，并将每篇报道录音剪辑成三部分，每部分都配上相应的练习，既利于老师上课灵活使用，也能让学生保持注意力。配套练习形式多样，既有考察学生基本听力理解和记忆的选择题、判断题、填空题和问答题，也有考察学生英语综合应用能力的语篇复述题。此外，每篇文章都配有内容丰富翔实的背景知识介绍，文章中出现的生词皆标注音标，难句均配以中文翻译，以帮助学生更好地理解听力原文、提高听力水平。
