巩固延伸，一般用词与学术用词相得益彰：本书是三本系列书中的第二册，读过*册的读者应该已经对语境记忆法有了一个初步了认识与了解，甚至有些读者已经能够有意识的去运用语境记忆法去记忆单词，所以本书的重点是锻炼读者熟悉语境记忆法并达到熟练运用语境记忆法！
词汇由易渐难，益于读者更好地熟悉语境记忆法的使用方法，增加读者的词汇库：本书依然引用了一些杂志和报刊中的文章，介绍了一些互动交际中经常出现的一般用词，同时，作者也引用了一些SAT 、GRE等标准化考试中要考核的单词以及一些出版作品（例如，小说、教材）中的较为学术化的词汇，一般用词用于让读者熟悉语境记忆法，学术用词用来增加读者的词汇库，既让读者学到了一种新型单词记忆法，又增加了读者的词汇量，一举两得！
练习方式多样化，单词记忆主动化：书中开展了各色的专题活动（如，主题阅读、含义预测、自我测验、视觉单词、互动练习及话题讨论等），轻松有趣，层层递进。这是一次自主记忆单词的过程，这次的单词记忆之旅不再只是死记硬背，而是读者在完成这一系列练习过程中不断自我学习，自我记忆，自我总结的过程！

Preface
Because students benefit greatly from increase word power, the study of vocabulary should be enjoyable. Unfortunately, vocabulary workbooks often lose sight of this goal. To help make the study of vocabulary an exciting and enjoyable part of study, I have written Active Vocabulary.
The goal of this book--the second in a three-book interactive vocabulary series--is to make the study of vocabulary fun through a variety of thematic readings, self-tests, and interactive exercises. As a casual glimpse through the book will indicate, these activities involve writing, personal experience, art, and many other formats. The goal of these activities is simple: to utilize individual learning styles in order to help students learn new words in a large number of contexts.
Underlying the text's strong visual appeal is a central philosophy: an essential part of learning vocabulary is repeated exposure to a word. Active Vocabulary provides eight to ten exposures to each vocabulary word within the main chapters of the text plus additional coverage in the Review chapters and through the flash card and word map activities explained in the book. More opportunities for exposure can also be found in the Collaborative Activities and games in the Instructor's Manual.

前言
因为词汇量的不断增加会让学生受益匪浅，所以词汇的学习本应该是一件令人愉快的事情。但不幸的是，词汇工具书往往忽略了这一目的。所以，为了使词汇学习成为学习中令人兴奋和愉快的一部分，我写了《主动词汇》这本书。
本书是三本词汇系列书中的第二本，它的目标是通过各种主题阅读、自我测试和互动练习使词汇学习充满乐趣。大致浏览一眼本书便会发现书中所设活动涵盖了写作、个人经验、艺术以及各种其他形式。这些活动的目标很简单，即利用学生的个人学习风格，帮助他们在大量的语境中学习生词。
本书强大的视觉吸引力背后隐含着一个核心道理——学习词汇必不可少的一步便是反复接触单词。《主动词汇》一书中，每个主要章节涉及的单词均有八到十次的曝光机会。此外，书中各复习章节以及本书介绍的单词闪卡和联想图表等活动会再次提到这些单词。教师版用书中的协作活动及其他活动中也还会更多地提到这些单词。
