Features: The articles selected in this book strive for standardized language, philosophical depth, and relevance to contemporary times. The text materials are diverse, covering British and American culture, Western life, social issues, biographies of famous figures, and technological advancements. All the articles are originally from British and American works, with slight abridgments but no rewriting. According to the syllabus, new vocabulary exercises have been rewritten, with necessary adjustments and supplements to the vocabulary list at the end of the text, marked with level stars. The English-to-Chinese translation exercises have been largely updated, and the Cloze Test has also been updated, primarily using materials from more recent newspapers and magazines, with some sourced from the internet. This book has added concise writing guidance. The first volume introduces how to write an outline, while the second volume explains how to write an abstract.
