Features: This book is the second volume of the intensive reading course for the preparatory level of College English, designed for students of College English Preparatory Level 2. The entire book consists of sixteen lessons, suitable for use over one semester. Each lesson is composed of pre-reading prompts, text, vocabulary, notes, and exercises. The purpose of the pre-reading prompts is not only to set requirements for students' pre-class preparation but also to gradually cultivate good reading habits through "pre-reading check questions." The texts are all selected from original sources and carefully rewritten, with the goal of making the language simple, natural, and idiomatic, while also being rich in content, interesting, and possessing a certain depth of thought. The exercises are not designed to be innovative but rather to review and reinforce the main areas of phonetics, grammar, and vocabulary that students have already learned in middle school, aiming to improve their practical mastery and application of the learned material. This book is accompanied by a teacher's manual for reference during lesson preparation.
