“新世纪大学英语系列教材”《阅读教程》是根据教育部高等教育司颁发的《大学英语课程教学要求》编写的。《阅读教程》共四册，每册八个单元，每单元大致由四个部分构成：1)Reading for Information；2)Reading Strategies；3)Reading for Pleasure；4)Homework。其中Reading Strategies每两个单元出现一次。以上四个部分大致可归纳为两方面内容：前面两部分是学习阅读技巧，并通过实践提高通过阅读获取信息的能力；后面两部分是享受阅读，培养阅读习惯，提高阅读能力。这两方面都是针对本课程的教学任务而构建的。

本书为教师手册的第一册。
