序言

　　近年，基础口译资格证书考试得到了长足的发展，越来越为社会关注，越来越多的考生，尤其是高中生和大学新生，参加了该项考试或正在积极备考。作为口译教师，我们逐渐意识到，同样是口译学习，基础口译与其他口译类别的学习目标和方法还是有差异的，其对语言的要求和针对性也有别于其他课程，但由于基础口译还是口译课程中的新生儿，所以学习者可获得的专门学习材料还比较稀缺，相应难度的教学支持更少。课堂教学之余，我们意识到，有必要在课堂之外为学习者提供更丰富的基础口译学习平台。

　　基础口译考试的最大的一个特点是考试本身只考验口语口译和听力这两种能力。但在实际课堂教学中，我们发现，口译作为最终语言输出的过程是有相当难度的，要做好口译，对语言的理解能力至关重要。而如今，很多就读基础口译课程的学生尽管能顺畅地进行口语交流，却还是流于生活对话层面，一旦所听到的信息涉及日常生活之外的历史、政治、经济、外交等问题时，很多人就暴露出理解困难的问题;另一方面，很多学生在听的过程中，往往只捕捉到零碎的词汇，对英语句子整体结构却没什么感觉，这必定会对口译有很大的影响。究其原因，还是学生的信息积累不够充分，很多口译内容已经超出他们的生活空间。为了向基础口译学习者提供一些适当的补充素材，专为学习者设计一本可以丰富他们口译积累的书的设想应运而生，于是便有了这本以基础口译难度为标准的阅读教程。

　　从某种程度上讲，这本书并不专为考试本身编写，而更多着眼于通过阅读这一基本的输入方式，在句法和理解上为口译做些书面准备。可以毫不夸张地说，本书既适合基础口译考生做考试预备工作，也适合初三升学、高中及大学一、二年级的学生提高英语阅读能力，增加词汇。这也是为什么我们在编纂过程中，从词汇到句法，均安排了各种难度的解析和练习。

　　本书的体例和目录以话题划分，内容涉及生活中的教育、环境这些日常话题，以及经济、政治等宏观话题。全书共分十五单元，每单元围绕一定话题，各含三篇文章。每单元开头是对三篇文章的概述，引导读者对单元内容有一个大致的了解。每单元第一、二篇文章是精读文章，除了理解主旨，还要分析难句，每篇配以丰富的练习。
