内容简介
本套教材共计3册，词汇起点为800词。第一册的重点是基本语法和基本的听、说、读、译的技能训练，第二册、第三册在继续加强听、说、读、译的技能训练和提高语法应用能力的同时，增加套写应用文的训练。教材中的每个单元均根据在国内进行专题涉外活动的实际需要，设计提供了大量的小对话、常用句型、短文和应用文范文，便于学生学习、模仿、套用，使学生真正掌握一些实用英语，最终达到在涉外活动中能举一反三、较为自如运用的目的。本教材在编写过程中力求实用、新颖、简明，强调学用相结合，既突出了成人的特点又兼顾到选材的趣味性。编写者力求能达到所设定的目标。
本教材于2000年7月出版以来已使用了6年之久，因当初编写时间紧迫，编写仓促，存在一些不足和疏漏之处，经研究决定对本教材进行修订。本教材原则上不做大的调整，课文、对话和练习形式基本不变。但对一些明显过时、错误之处进行撤换或改正，更加注重语言表达是否流畅、地道和语言的时效性；对练习中个别较难的句子适当修改降低难度；短语动词练习中删去“教学基本要求”的词汇表中没有的短语动词，另外将练习的形式由原来的填空改为选择填空（即在每题后加两个短语动词）；对话填空练习中要求填入的英文部分现用中文标出，让学生翻译成英文填入，降低了难度，在修订时更加注重功能性的语言结构和习惯表达方式，尽量练习本单元所列出的一些表达方式。
