《新编实用英语》系列教材是由教育部“高职高专教育英语课程教学指导委员会”根据《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求(试行)》组织编写的。《新编实用英语》(第二版)系列教材是在《新编实用英语》第一版的基础上修订而成。本套教材认真贯彻了“学一点、会一点、用一点”、“听、说、读、写、译并重”和“边学边用、学用结合”的原则。注重听说技能训练，注重对实用文体阅读能力的培养，将应用语言基本功的能力与实际涉外交际相结合。

本套教材还注重“教、学、考”相互照应。学完第2册可参加“高等学校英语应用能力考试”的B级考试，学完第4册可参加A级考试。

本书为《综合教程》(第二版)第1册，共8个单元，每个单元都由“说”、“听”、“读”和“写”4部分组成，另有一个“趣味阅读”部分。《综合教程》(第二版)第1册为4色印刷，版式精美，并配有录音带。

《新编实用英语综合教程》(第二版)第1册严格按照《基本要求》编写，《基本要求》中的《交际范围表》所规定的交际主题是我们选材的依据和出发点，而且读、译、听、说、写各项技能的培养与训练都围绕同一交际话题展开；进一步克服忽视听说技能训练的弱点，加大听说技能、特别是实用交际能力的训练，把培养一定的实用口语交际能力作为本教程的重要任务。
