本书为“全新英语读写一体化教程”中的一本。本教材在设计中通过写作调动学生阅读——在写作实践中学生在词语表达、文章组织上的困惑激发了他们的阅读兴趣,并增强了他们在阅读过程中吸收知识的敏感度。并在选文上按照与人有关的话题划分了总的框架,紧贴学生生活及学生所关心的事物,以语言功能为统领,以题材完全相同,甚至话题相同的一组组文章作为主课文,由记叙文过渡到各种体裁相结合,从而调动学生对同一问题进行多角度分析和思考的能力。各单元开头的阅读技能训练从字面意义理解、引申意义理解过渡到批评性理解,从词句理解上升为对作者意图的判定,囊括了阅读理解的全部思维过程及英语语言的基本特点,帮助学生透析阅读理解及英语语言的奥秘。
