英语阅读理解部分，一个重大的主题就是英美近现代史。

这其实不难理解。英语语言，是英语民族思想文化、历史典籍赖以存在的物质基础，以英语语言讲述英美近现代史上的著名事件、人物和思想、思潮，这是英语语言考试的必考重点。

即便是如今，这一点仍然成立，朋友们可以自己去看看包括中考、高考、托福、雅思等各级各类英语考试，看看有多少这类文章来来去去，影响着小朋友们的考试成绩。

现在，原汁原味的原版美国初高中历史课本来了！

第一本，McDougal Little American History，封面我已经放在本文开头了，大家自己去看看。很不错的！

这是内页，内容提要，类似于目录：

这是第一章的目录：

这是对于如何阅读地图的指导：

这插图，我只能说，真的很精美！

上图是正文，我们不难看到，为了方便阅读，教材很贴心地把疑难单词黄底色高亮显示了。

美国历史，就这一本，不过，总共1168页！

一千多页的教材，想想都吓人。不过，对于寻找原汁原味的英语阅读材料的同学们、老师们、家长朋友们来说，这可不是多多益善嘛

接下来我们要请出场的是1141页的《美国人物志：从建国到21世纪》：

可以这么说，这就是一本超级传记合集，并且是同一个创作团队所写，文字风格高度统一。

这是目录的第一页：

为了方便朋友们看清原文，我来摘取其中的一段给你们看看：

European Societies of the 1400s

In the late 1400s, most Europeans, like most Native Americans and most Africans, lived in small villages, bound to the land and to rhythms of life that had been in place for centuries. For the majority of Europeans, change came slowly.

THE SOCIAL HIERARCHY

European communities were based on social hierarchy, that is, they were organized according to rank. At the top of the hierarchy were monarchs and the aristocracy, the landowning elite, who held most of the wealth and power. Members of the clergy also ranked high in the social order. At the bottom were agricultural laborers, or peasants.

Few individuals rose above the social position of their birth. One group that did achieve mobility was the growing number of artisans and merchants, the people who created and traded goods for money. There were relatively few members of this group in the 1400s. However, the profit they earned from trade would eventually make them a valuable source of tax revenue to monarchs seeking to finance costly overseas exploration and expansion.

我们看到，这其中生词其实还是不少的，国内小朋友如果只上到初中，我觉得啃下来的难度相当不小。即便是高中生，也未必就能轻松阅读。也许只有结合现有的历史知识，配合图片等辅助工具，才能懂个大概。

当然，这对追求高远、激情满满的朋友们都算不了什么，是我多虑了我们继续。
