Features: After fifteen years, the first edition of English Listening Comprehension: Step by Step (hereinafter referred to as Listening Comprehension) has officially bid farewell to everyone. Listening Comprehension 2000 is divided into four volumes and is designed for English majors in colleges and universities for listening courses. It can also be used by postgraduate students, undergraduate students, and science and technology personnel from other disciplines with a high level of English proficiency. Listening Comprehension 2000 is an extension of Listening Comprehension. It still adheres to the principle of emphasizing both content and listening skills, focusing on the authenticity and typicality of the selected materials. It consistently prioritizes the development of students' listening comprehension and thinking abilities. Listening Comprehension 2000 goes beyond Listening Comprehension. It adopts completely new listening materials and pays more attention to the overall thematic layout of the four volumes. This book is the third volume, consisting of twelve units. The chapter structure and purpose of each unit are basically the same as the first two volumes. However, the selection principles of the content reflect different emphases: the first volume focuses on outlining some macro changes and characteristics of contemporary society, which can be said to have a broad perspective and large-scale themes; the content of the second volume mainly revolves around the healthy growth of students in terms of their professional, emotional, and physical well-being, with a focus on the student as the subject, topics that are close to daily life, and are easily relatable and inspire reflection; while the third volume guides students' attention toward the world, including major news reports and achievements in fields such as international politics, economy, science and technology, and transportation, helping them expand their knowledge and broaden their horizons.
