《大学英语跟踪阅读》基于二语习得学习策略分析，深入研究了国内外英语阅读教材编写的特点及社会反馈，吸取了国内教材注重思想性、人文性、科学性以及侧重语言基础的优点，又借鉴了国外教材在选材、编写体例等方面的先进经验和教育理念所编写。该书可供大学一年级至二年级四个学期使用。每篇文章之前都标上了星期几要求学生每天读两篇，希望借此培养学生的毅力和规划意识；“Time Spent”是指“阅读耗时”。

本书是依据《大学英语课程教学要求》的精神，顺应大学英语教学改革的发展趋势编写而成，分为4册。本册18个单元，每单元由10篇阅读理解文章及不同形式的练习题构成。在编写过程中，力求所选文章依据难易梯度设置，各篇词汇分布均匀，尽可能覆盖《大学英语课程教学要求》中规定的词汇和各项语言基础知识。每篇阅读文章之前均提供了文章字数，供学生及时评估阅读速度和效率，逐步提高阅读理解能力。本教程既可作为独立的大学英语阅读教材使用，也可配合大学英语主干教材使用。

本教程的目标读者为高等院校在校学生，大学英语四、六级备考人员及英语水平相当的其他人士。
