Features: In the College English Test Band 4 (CET-4), the Listening Comprehension section accounts for 20% of the total score. Although its weight is only half that of the Reading Comprehension section, the results of the unified tests conducted over more than ten years in China's College English Test Band 4 have consistently shown that the Listening Comprehension section remains a weak point for many candidates. Additionally, listening differs significantly from intensive reading and extensive reading. Generally speaking, candidates' gaps in grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension are not too large. Even when some differences do exist, they often do not reflect significantly in the paper-based scores. However, the differences in listening scores are frequently the main factor that determines the overall paper-based score, making listening particularly important in the CET-4 and CET-6 exams.
