Lesson 1A puma at large逃遁的美洲狮
Listen to the tape then answer the question below.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Where must the puma have come from?
Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw‘a large cat’only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of‘cat-like noises’at night and a businessman ona fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from?As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside. New words and expressions 生词和短语

新概念第三册包含总共六十课，分为三个学习阶段。
在第一阶段，学员将学习从第一课到第二十课的内容，这一阶段的难度相当于高一和高二的英语水平。
第二阶段涵盖了第二十一课到第四十课，难度提升至接近高考英语的标准。
第三阶段则从第四十一课延伸至第六十课，内容难度相当于是大学英语四级的水平。
每课内容各有侧重，旨在逐步提高学习者的英语综合能力。
通过系统的学习，新概念第三册能够帮助学习者在词汇量、语法结构、阅读理解以及写作技巧等方面获得显著提升。
每个阶段的学习目标明确，为后续的学习打下坚实的基础。
学习新概念第三册的过程不仅是语言技能的提升，更是个人英语素养的全面提升。
新概念英语第三册背诵只需三步
新概念自从1945年出版以来，一直被公认为世界最优秀的几本英语教材之一。中国人使用这一套教材也有了半个世纪之久，但是对教材的使用方法，学界内有不同的认识和倾向。西方的教育理念认为语言是在使用中学会 (acquire the language through practicing in daily conversation)，而中国的部分教育家认为背诵(recitation)其实是中国人学习英语的最好的方式。笔者曾经在高中阶段系统的学习了新概念3的课文，而且根据老师的要求进行的背诵，不能不说这对现在的英语水平有了很大的影响。
在新概念的背诵过程中可以采用这样的三步法：
第一、弄懂文章意思，了解文章结构。 以新概念第二册第一课为例：课文的意思就是陈述一次看戏的经过，青年男女没有教养在剧场里喧哗，而且知识文化水平不高，把作者的` “I can hear a word” 误认为是偷听他们之间的谈话，故而引到了文章标题 “This is our private conversation.” 了解文章的结构时要将自己放置在作者的位置上，替作者思考为什么要这么写，对作者的行文思路进行分析。
应该就是范围的区别
如果非要有差别：in the place 表示的意思更细一些，在某地方里面
at the place表示在某地
NCE3（上外原版英音）是人类采用录音带学习“基础英国英语”有史以来，有声资料的最高瑰宝。
旧版胜过新版（旧是L.G.Alexander亲著，新是“何其莘”糊弄版）。自学，目标是学习或重温《新概念英语》（第三册），直到真正地滚瓜烂熟为止。
以《新概念英语》（第三册）第一课《A Puma at Large》为例，Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar。
