为了更好地体现现代高等教育英语教学的特点和要求,真正做到以学生为主体、适应课堂教学和自主学习相结合的特点,本套教材在以下方面下了一些功夫:
(1)紧密结合教学大纲的要求和课堂教学实际。编写队伍全部都是来自教学第一线的教学骨干,充分地把各位编者的教学经验融入到教材中,特别是在选编课文时,注重选编短小精悍的短文,让师生在一个教学单位时间内能够完成一个相对完整的内容。
(2)选材新颖。无论是交际技能,还是课文学习,抑或是写作训练,从形式到内容,编者都注重选择最新的语料,并努力使英语学习寓于趣味性、娱乐性之中,以使得课堂教学和课后自学都不会枯燥乏味。
(3)注重基础训练。各册内容特别注重基本知识和基本技能的训练,设计了数量可观的练习;同时,考虑到部分学生入学时需要加强英语基础知识的学习,本套教材特别编写了《预备教程》,以供有需要的班级和学生在语音和基础语法方面加强复习和练习。
(4)编排形式科学。本套教材的主体部分按照交际技能、课文学习、综合练习和写作训练进行编排,努力做到在听、说、读、写、译五个方面提高学习者的英语水平。
(5)强调自主学习的特点。现代教育强调“教师为主导、学生为主体、学生自主学习”的理念;同时,高中毕业后进入高等院校继续学习的学生对母语已经掌握得比较好了,而有些学生英语语感相对较差。为此,我们特别编写了《基础英语语法》,以使英语学习者更好地利用母语优势。
(6)结合现代教育技术和利用辅助教学手段。与纸质教材配套,我们充分利用了现代计算机和多媒体技术制作了供学生使用的多媒体课件和供教师使用的课堂教学课件,以使得课堂教学和课后自学都更加直观和有趣。
21世纪,科学技术发展日新月异,发明创造层出不穷,知识更新日趋频繁,全民学习、终身学习已经成为适应经济与社会发展的基本途径。近年来,我国高等教育取得了跨越式的发展,毛入学率由1998年的8%迅速增长到2008年的23.3%,已经进入到大众化的发展阶段,这其中高等继续教育发挥了重要的作用。同时,高等继续教育作为“传统学校教育向终身教育发展的一种新型教育制度”,对实现“形成全民学习、终身学习的学习型社会”、“构建终身教育体系”的宏伟目标,发挥着其他教育形式不可替代的作用。
目前,我国高等继续教育的发展规模已占全国高等教育的一半左右,随着我国产业结构的调整、传统产业部门的改造以及新兴产业部门的建立,各种岗位上数以千万计的劳动者,需要通过边工作边学习来调整自己的知识结构、提高自己的知识水平,以适应现代经济与社会发展的要求。可见,我国高等继续教育的发展,既肩负着重大的历史使命,又面临着难得的发展机遇。
我国的高等继续教育要抓住机遇发展,完成自己的历史使命,从根本上说就是要全面提高教育教学质量,这涉及多方面的工作,但抓好教材建设是提高教学质量的基础和中心环节。众所周知,高等继续教育的培养对象主要是已经走上各种生产或工作岗位的从业人员,这就决定了高等继续教育的目标是培养能适应新世纪社会发展要求的动手能力强、具有创新能力的应用型人才。因此,高等继续教育教材的编写“要本着学用结合的原则,重视从业人员的知识更新,提高广大从业人员的思想文化素质和职业技能”,体现出高等继续教育的针对性、实用性和职业性特色。
为适应我国高等继续教育发展的新形势、培养应用型人才、满足广大学员的学习需要,中国人民大学出版社邀请了国内知名专家学者对我国高等继续教育的教学改革与教材建设进行专题研讨,成立了教材编审委员会,联合中国人民大学、中国政法大学、东北财经大学、武汉大学、山西财经大学、东北师范大学、江西师范大学、南昌航空大学、华中科技大学、黑龙江大学等30多所高校,共同编撰了“21世纪高等继续教育精品教材”,计划在两三年内陆续推出百种高等继续教育精品系列教材。教材编审委员会对该系列教材的作者进行了严格的遴选,编写教材的专家、教授都有着丰富的继续教育教学经验和较高的专业学术水平。

综合练习
Chinas economy, promoted by huge exports to America and Europe, led the developing world in 2004 with a growth rate forecast to end the year at 8.8%. "Our national economy achieved stable development...and peoples livelihoods got further improvements," Chinese President Hu Jintao said. In the coming year, he said China would "continue to carry on reforms and openness, and promote fast and stable economic development."
Hu promised more trade with Hong Kong and Macau, former European colonies that returned to Chinese rule in the late 1990s. He said Beijing would "support the work of the administrative leaders" in the former colonies, as well as promote economic ties between those territories and the mainland "to maintain peaceful and stable prosperity".
While characterizing China as peaceful and stable, Hu said the world is "undergoing very deep changes". On the one hand, economic globalization and progress toward a "multipolar" world create opportunities, he said.
Business Week
Everybody knows that China is the worlds next economic superpower. Each year, it gets billions and billions of dollars in foreign investment, powering its booming economy. The Middle Kingdom has more cell-phone users than anywhere else on the planet, and soon it will be tops among Net surfers, too. American consumers cant get enough of the low-cost TVs, DVD players, mobile phones, computers, and other home appliances that come out of Chinas factories.
USA Today
Now, Chinas eventual dominance of global clothing and textiles trade is regarded as inevitable. In January 2002, the U.S. began lifting quotas on a limited number of textile products. Chinas market share in those items —— such as infant wear and socks —— soared from a combined 9% to 65%. Since then, Chinese producers have become more competitive.
