为贯彻全国教育大会精神及《国家职业教育改革实施方案》《教育部关于职业院校专业人才培养方案制订与实施工作的指导意见》《关于实施中华优秀传统文化传承发展工程的意见》等文件精神，顺应“立德树人”“文化自信”和“讲好中国故事”等政策导向，教材编写组根据新时期高职高专英语教学领域的新趋势、新情况，以及高职高专院校师生的反馈意见，对本系列教材进行了第四次修订，以期更好地在新时代高等职业教育领域为英语教学和改革服务，推进高职高专英语教学更高质量的发展。
本书是《综合教程1》的配套辅学教材，二者紧密配合，为学生在课后进行独立的语言训练提供了同步自练园地。本书难度适当，内容新颖，既可作为主教材补充、强化之用途，也可单独使用；既可提高学生的语言能力，又切合实际应用需求，对学生复习、巩固、拓展和提升有较高的价值。
