高等教育的迅猛发展和教育技术的普遍应用，客观上要求大学英语教材能更加紧密地结合课堂教学实际和现代计算机、网络技术在课堂教学中的应用。本着适应教学需要、适合教师使用、方便学生自学和复习巩固的要求，我们组织编写了这套《大学英语教程》。本书是第二册。

本套教材以教育部高等教育司颁布的供高等职业学校、高等专科学校、成人高等学校和本科院校职业技术学院适用的《英语课程教学基本要求(试行)》、部分省级学位委员会办公室联合编写组编写的《成人高等教育学士学位英语水平考试大纲(非英语专业)》和《大学英语教学大纲(修订本)》要求为依据，在专家的指导下，以教学第一线教师为主体，紧密结合英语教学实际，前后历时两年编写而成。
