大学英语教学大纲(理工科用)中对专业阅读的要求明确规定:“阅读速度最后应达到平均每分钟70个词以上,阅读理解的正确性为70%”.这一规定不仅明确了理工科英语教学必须保证学生具有专业阅读的能力,而且提出了以什么标准进行专业英语阅读测试的问题. 对于专业英语阅读理解的检查,普遍沿用定时笔译文章的办法.这样做,检查理解比较深刻,但往往因为笔译量虽很小,改卷却很费时;并且不易检查阅读速度.再者,评分带有一定主观性.通过阅读本身检查阅 The requirement for professional reading in the College English Teaching Syllabus (Science and Technology) clearly states: “The reading speed should eventually reach an average of 70 words per minute or more, and the correctness of reading comprehension is 70%.” This provision not only clarifies the science and engineering department. English teaching must ensure that students have the ability to read professionally, and the question of what standards to conduct professional English reading tests.
