謝文怡主編的這本《高級商務英語閱讀(1)》共14個單元。每個單元的三篇閱讀理解文章(TextA，TextB和SupplementaryReading)都聚焦一個主題。選材十分注重選文的權(quán)威性和語言的經(jīng)典性。編者設(shè)計的每一道練習題都經(jīng)過反復斟酌：課文前的Pre-readingQuestions可以幫助教師了解學生對課文主題的熟悉程度，激發(fā)學生對閱讀材料的興趣和思考。課文后的comprehension包含兩種練習，一種考查學生對課文的理解情況，另一種訓練學生的批判性思維。閱讀理解的練習圍繞閱讀材料的重點和難點編寫，從詞匯理解、內(nèi)容推理和批判性思維三個層面使學生對閱讀材料進行積極的思考和感悟。批判性思維練習是本教材的一大特色，為學生提供了與作者思想觀點相交融的平臺，著重培養(yǎng)學生對國際商務活動的思辨能力，以及分析問題和解決問題的能力。
SupplementaryReading精心設(shè)計了適合學生進行小組討論的思考題。
