(完整版)新概念英语2_3册最具背诵价值的课文精选

最具背诵价值的课文精选-新概念2册新概念英语第2册最具有背诵价值的课文是(共挑选41篇）:第一单元:lesson 7, 8, 10, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21第二单元:lesson 25, 28, 29, 32, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 43, 45, 47, 48第三单元:lesson 49, 51, 52, 54, 55, 56, 58, 61, 64, 65, 69, 71,第四单元:lesson 73, 78, 80, 83, 85, 89, 93, 96.之所以选择以上课文，主要是从词，句，篇以及教材编撰四方面来考虑，其中有一半以上课文是站在篇的角度提出的。

如果只站在传统英语教学的词与句层面来看问题，所选课文当然会有所变化。

关于什么是篇，略举一例说明：英语中常见的一种语篇发展模式叫做“问题+问题解决型”。

这种语篇模式的固定写作手法为4部分：提出问题+分析问题+解决问题+前景。

对应新概念英语第2册的课文，尽管绝大部分课文只写了一段，但其基本模式并没有太大的变化，大家可以参照一下第28课，第43课和第61课。

而在背诵或诵读或记忆的过程中，可以把一整篇课文分解为4个层次去记忆，每一层次就那么一两句话，比全篇从头到尾记忆或背诵要轻松很多，反过来对今后的外语写作与语文写作都会有很大的帮助。

关于教材编撰，略举一例说明：新2册第10课，从教材编撰的角度，作者需要在此篇文章中重点引出被动语态，全文12句话，有9句是被动语态。

这么一篇小短文，从标题开始到每一句话的写作，如果能看出教材编撰者的良苦用心以及文章发展的严密逻辑，那您就不能不对亚力山大的语言组织能力深表佩服。

第1句引出标题中的不完整信息，第2句对第1句信息的具体化，第3句回答第1句中old的真实含义。

第4，5，6句从三方面进一步对标题中的话题（尽管此文的话题出现在第1句，到第2句才具体）进行介绍，为什么从3个方面？答曰：三角形具有稳定性。

新概念必背36篇_彩版_

参考论坛andy大哥的帖子:原帖地址/t773237p1目标：精选新概念三-四册42篇文章背熟50遍！具体方法：1.先根据文章朗读，将文章听写1-3遍。

2.摘录长难句及不熟词汇，学习之。

3.将文章翻译成汉语4.再根据汉语译文，将文章翻译成英语，并与原文比较。

5.熟读，模仿发音，每日至少读一小时。

6.背诵50遍50遍50遍!!!!!!!!注: 每日学习量不强求，可以只听写一段或者进行1-6其中之一，最重要是坚持！！！1月5日已将新概念三第一课a puma at large背诵三遍。

其实背诵几遍后越来越熟，50遍并不是一个庞大的遍数，只是看着有些吓人。

ps :一些同学问我背哪些课文比较好，现在给大家传一个新概念必备36篇，也是从论坛上下载的，我忘了原帖地址，所以重新发给感兴趣的童鞋。

这36篇主要是针对考研而选的论述文章，包括新三20篇和新四16篇，做的很精良，包括了学习方法和重点背诵词汇与长难句，请大家好好珍惜好好利用！经典教材精选的美文这个优秀文章36篇是我从新概念三、四的教材里精心挑选出来的，其中新概念三20篇和新概念四的16篇，从贴近考研英语的角度来筛选，剔除了大部分的记叙文和说明文题材，主要就是论说文了。

这些精选出来的文章作为必须背诵的素材。

原来的文档很多都有或多或少的小错误。

这里我都精心对照过，并且尽力避免出现错误。

以前那个版本只有20篇文章（新三12篇，新四8篇），有网友反映排版使用不是很方便，这里重新排版。

另外字体用稍微大一点的5号，眼睛会舒服一点，还可以做一点点笔记，不过页数会增加一点。

蓝色加粗是考研重点词汇，要从课文句子中掌握其用法，不是很熟的最好查一下牛津或者其他词典；加阴影紫色字体是考研用短语和句型。

划线的重点要熟练应用的句子，尽量应用到作文中去。

对这36篇文章最好是听写、翻译、背诵一步步来。

先把文章听写出来，然后翻译成中文，再把中文翻译成英文，最后背诵。

不过这个过程很花时间，但是也能提高英语能力。

新概念英语第二册中值得背诵的课文

新概念英语第二册中值得背诵的课文-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1对于新概念英语2册的学习,是否把全书背下来效果最好。

针对该问题,其实很难一句话把问题说清楚,但有二点是很明确的。

其一、背诵完新概念英语第2册决非一件简单的事情,要不全国那么多讲解新概念英语2册的老师怎么都背不下来呢?其二、背诵完新2全书或许只能说是该教材学习的入门级别,而门里面的一系列外语学习方法,如宏观语篇思维逻辑,心理语言学角度阅读方法,作者教材编撰的用意,宏观语法的驾驭能力,微观语法的应用能力,拼写能力,朗诵能力,写作能力等等,学习者对这些内容是否也应该有所了解呢？换句话说,学习或背诵一本教材的最小价值为学通了该教材,而如果要把学习效果最大化,那就应该掌握学习该教材的方法,从而具备怎样学习所有同等难度教材的能力。

退一步来讲,如果某位学习者真的能非常流畅地诵读或背诵2册全书,其效果应该是非常显著的。

考虑到人的精力有限,精选新概念英语2册中所有最具背诵价值的课文供朋友们参考。

新概念英语第2册最具有背诵价值的课文是(共挑选41篇）:第一单元: lesson 7, lesson 8, lesson 10, lesson 13, lesson 14, lesson 16, lesson 20, lesson 21;第二单元: lesson 25, lesson 28, lesson 29, lesson 32, lesson 36, lesson 37, lesson 38, lesson39, lesson 40, lesson 43, lesson 45, lesson 47, lesson 48;第三单元: lesson 49, lesson 51,lesson 52, lesson 54, lesson 55, lesson 56, lesson 58, lesson 61,lesson 64,lesson 65, lesson 69, lesson 71;第四单元: lesson 73, lesson 78, lesson 80, lesson 83, lesson 85, lesson 89, lesson 93, lesson 96.（派乐多英语提供！）2。

Lesson 36 A chance in a million
百万分之一的机遇
一、【Text】课文
We are less credulous than we used to be. In the nineteenth century, a novelist would bring his story to a conclusion by presenting his readers with a series of coincidences ---- most of them wildly improbable. Readers happily accepted the fact that an obscure maidservant was really the hero's mother. A long-lost brother, who was presumed dead, was really alive all the time and wickedly plotting to bring about the hero's downfall. And so on. Modern readers would find such naive solutions totally unacceptable. Yet, in real life, circumstances do sometimes conspire to bring about coincidences which anyone but a nineteenth century novelist would find incredible.

新概念英语第三册第36课-A chance in a million

新概念英语第三册第36课:A chance in a million Lesson 36 A chance in a million 百万分之一的机遇Listen to the tape then answer the question below.听录音，然后答复以下问题。

What was the chance in a millionWe are less credulous than we used to be. In the nineteenth century, a novelist would bring his story to a conclusion by presenting his readers with a series of coincidences -- most of them wildly improbable. Readers happily accepted the fact that an obscure maidservant was really the hero s mother. A long-lost brother, who was presumed dead, was really alive all the time and wickedlyplotting to bring about the hero s downfall. And so on. Modern readers would find such naive solution totally unacceptable. Yet, in real life, circumstances do sometimes conspire to bring about coincidences which anyone but a nineteenth century novelist wouldfind incredible.When I was a boy, my grandfather told me how a German taxi driver, Franz Bussman, found a brother who was thought to have been killed twenty years before. While on a walking tour with his wife, he stooped to talk to a workman. After they had gone on, Mrs. Bussman commented on the workman s close resemblance to her husband and even suggested that he might be his brother. Franz poured scorn on the idea, pointing out that his brother had been killed in action during the war. Though Mrs. Busssman fully acquainted with this story, shethought that there was a chance in a million that she might be right.A few days later, she sent a boy to the workman to ask him if his name was Hans Bussman. Needless to say, the man s name was Hans Bussman and he really was Franz s long-lost brother. When the brothers were reunited, Hans explained how it was that he was still alive. After having been wounded towards the end of the war, he had been sent to hospital and was separated from his unit. The hospital had been bombed and Hans had made his way back into Western Germany on foot. Meanwhile, his unit was lost and all records of him had been destroyed. Hans returned to his family home, but the house had been bombed and no one in the neighbourhood knew what had become of the inhabitants. Assuming that his family had been killed during an air raid, Hans settled down in a village fifty miles away where he had remained ever since.参考译文我们不再像以往那样轻易相信别人了。
