蔡基刚主编的《新核心综合学术英语教程(附光盘1普通高等教育十二五重点规划教材)》为《综合学术英语教程》系列教材的第一册，供非英语专业的学生使用。为使学生和教师有一个熟悉和过渡的过程，本册采用主题串联各单元。

本册包括六个单元，分别为“地球变暖”、“城镇化”、“电子商务”、“文化意识”、“艺术”和“性格”，涉及自然科学和人文科学的各个方面。每个单元围绕主题分别由四篇长短不一的阅读材料和两篇学术讲座组成。每个单元包括Warm up、Reading、Listening、writing和Integrated Exercises五个板块。在教材设计上我们尽可能把听、说、读、写有机地融合起来，发展学生的综合学术英语能力。
