**部分Language Poims：对主课文中的重要词汇及词组进行中、英文注释，并给出相关例句。同时对课文中的**语法现象进行说明。编者们在查阅多本辞典，比较多种释义，并结合课文内容的基础上，尽量使注解达到准确翔实。
第二部分Keyto Exercises：提供了课文练习及课后讨论题的参考答案。
第三部分Self-check：设计了一些针对**词汇、词组而又不同于教材中已有形式的练习，以便学习者检查自己对这些常用表达法的掌握情况。同时增加了完型填空及阅读理解两种练习形式。其中的素材是从包括互联网等多种渠道收集的，编写者们从中尽量挑选那些能提供主课文背景知识的短文，或提供一些与主课文题材或体裁相近的文章，一方
