Features: This book includes all vocabulary from the New College English Teaching Syllabus Vocabulary List (2000), excluding Level 4 vocabulary (non-high-frequency test words). The definitions strictly adhere to the syllabus, reflecting its authority. The book is divided into four levels with different learning progressions: high-frequency test words, common words, less common words, and comprehension-based words, significantly improving learning efficiency. The entries are arranged in a non-traditional dictionary format, with each lesson featuring words starting with different letters of the alphabet, avoiding interference from visually similar words. This prevents students from struggling with "not finishing memorizing A-starting words before the exam and being lost when encountering S-starting words." Each lesson offers tangible learning outcomes, allowing students to take exams anytime. The examples in this book are sourced from authoritative dictionaries and publications like 21st Century (21st Century English Newspaper). The main features of this book are:
1. Comprehensive word coverage with authoritative definitions.
2. Computer-based frequency sorting – mining the gold. Qiao Gong organizes words into four levels of importance based on their usage frequency, categorized as high-frequency test words, common words, less common words, and comprehension-based words, greatly enhancing learning efficiency. The high-frequency vocabulary is developed based on an analysis of genuine tests from the past decade of CET 4 and CET 6 exams, making it exam-oriented. Especially in recent years, the repetition rate of high-frequency words in exam questions has shown an upward trend, highlighting their importance.
3. Cross-alphabetical arrangement for clever memorization. Qiao Gong breaks away from traditional dictionary-style entries, organizing words by cross-alphabetical sequence in each lesson. This allows students to learn words starting with different letters, avoiding confusion from visually similar words and eliminating the common problem of "not finishing memorizing A-starting words before the exam and being lost when encountering S-starting words."
4. Classic examples – a key to scoring higher. Qiao Gong draws examples from a wide range of sources, with fresh and engaging content, rich in information. The content and sentence structures align with the style of genuine exam questions, unlike some reference books with "simplistic fill-in-the-blank examples."
5. Red sheet self-assessment – immediate results. Qiao Gong includes over 20,000 exam-relevant points, carefully designed as test questions. The key terms in each example and point are printed in red, and using the accompanying red transparent sheet to cover these keywords allows students to assess their learning progress anytime.
6. Detailed points – precise targeting.
7. Past exam questions / Typical exam questions.
