本书依据高中课标要求编写，为教材拓展类阅读练习。本书依据新课标规定的“人与自我、人与社会、人与自然”三大主题语境划分单元主题，同时参考人教版、北师大版、牛津版、外研版等主要版本教材高一年级的单元话题搜集素材。按周安排练习，共20周，每周前5天为高考常考题型练习（2篇阅读理解+1篇阅读填空+1篇完形填空+1篇语法填空），周末为1篇趣味阅读，实用性与趣味性并存。除了语篇练习外，每篇练习还设有“语篇解读”“阅读词汇帮”（课标内、课标外）、“好句惠存”、词句练习（“译译对应”“异曲同工”）等附加模块，多方面提升语言能力、文化意识、思维品质及学习能力等英语学科素养，是学生拓展练习、老师课外补充练习选材的优选之作。
