《高级阅读教程:英语高级口译资格证书考试(第3版)》的编写和文章入选原则和前一版基本相同。替换的文章占了全书篇幅的近五分之二，我们也考虑到了入选文章内容的广泛性和可读性，选材的范围也比原来有所扩大。我们在这里想强调指出的是，报刊文章的阅读对中高级英语学习者来说是比较难过的一关，其原因除了语言因素外（报刊语言最具“动态性”，较快体现了一个语言的变化发展），更主要是我们一般称之为“文化”方面的差异，即包括社会、政治、经济、教育、历史等方面的差别和特征。因此，我们应该把学习英语视为学习了解对方国家的文化及其文化与我们的文化之间的差别的过程，这样在学习的过程中，在提高英语水平的同时，不断加深对相关方面的差异的认识，从面不断保证从总体上提高自己对英语的理解和运用能力、提高听、说、读、写、译的水平，为成为一个合格的笔译工作者和口译工作者打下坚实的基础。从这一意义上说，培养经常阅读英语报刊文章的习惯对扩大知识面、提高英语的运用能力、改进自己的笔译和口译技能来说是极为重要的一关。
