Lesson 1A puma at large逃遁的美洲獅
Listen to the tape then answer the question below.
聽錄音，然后回答以下問題。
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 生詞和短語

新概念第三冊包含總共六十課，分為三個學習階段。
在第一階段，學員將學習從第一課到第二十課的內容，這一階段的難度相當于高一和高二的英語水平。
第二階段涵蓋了第二十一課到第四十課，難度提升至接近高考英語的標準。
第三階段則從第四十一課延伸至第六十課，內容難度相當于是大學英語四級的水平。
每課內容各有側重，旨在逐步提高學習者的英語綜合能力。
通過系統的學習，新概念第三冊能夠幫助學習者在詞匯量、語法結構、閱讀理解以及寫作技巧等方面獲得顯著提升。
每個階段的學習目標明確，為后續的學習打下堅實的基礎。
學習新概念第三冊的過程不僅是語言技能的提升，更是個人英語素養的全面提升。
新概念英語第三冊背誦只需三步
新概念自從1945年出版以來，一直被公認為世界最優秀的幾本英語教材之一。中國人使用這一套教材也有了半個世紀之久，但是對教材的使用方法，學界內有不同的認識和傾向。西方的教育理念認為語言是在使用中學會 (acquire the language through practicing in daily conversation)，而中國的部分教育家認為背誦(recitation)其實是中國人學習英語的最好的方式。筆者曾經在高中階段系統的學習了新概念3的課文，而且根據老師的要求進行的背誦，不能不說這對現在的英語水平有了很大的影響。
在新概念的背誦過程中可以采用這樣的三步法：
第一、弄懂文章意思，了解文章結構。 以新概念第二冊第一課為例：課文的意思就是陳述一次看戲的經過，青年男女沒有教養在劇場里喧嘩，而且知識文化水平不高，把作者的` “I can hear a word” 誤認為是偷聽他們之間的談話，故而引到了文章標題 “This is our private conversation.” 了解文章的結構時要將自己放置在作者的位置上，替作者思考為什么要這么寫，對作者的行文思路進行分析。
應該就是范圍的區別
如果非要有差別：in the place 表示的意思更細一些，在某地方里面
at the place表示在某地
NCE3（上外原版英音）是人類采用錄音帶學習“基礎英國英語”有史以來，有聲資料的最高瑰寶。
舊版勝過新版（舊是L.G.Alexander親著，新是“何其莘”糊弄版）。自學，目標是學習或重溫《新概念英語》（第三冊），直到真正地滾瓜爛熟為止。
以《新概念英語》（第三冊）第一課《A Puma at Large》為例，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。
