蔡基剛主編的《新核心綜合學術英語教程(附光盤1普通高等教育十二五重點規劃教材)》為《綜合學術英語教程》繫列教材的第一冊，供非英語專業的學生使用。為使學生和教師有一個熟悉和過渡的過程，本冊采用主題串聯各單元。
本冊包括六個單元，分別為“地球變暖”、“城鎮化”、“電子商務”、“文化意識”、“藝術”和“性格”，涉及自然科學和人文科學的各個方面。每個單元圍繞主題分別由四篇長短不一的閱讀材料和兩篇學術講座組成。每個單元包括Warm up、Reading、Listening、writing和Integrated Exercises五個板塊。在教材設計上我們盡可能把聽、說、讀、寫有機地融合起來，發展學生的綜合學術英語能力。
