Features: The English proficiency tests for CET-4 and CET-6 have been ongoing for fifteen years. Since the beginning of this year, rumors of major reforms for the tests have been rampant. From a developmental perspective, reform is inevitable. Over the past decade and a half, the designers of the CET-4 and CET-6 tests have made numerous beneficial attempts to improve the exams, making them better serve college English teaching and more effectively fulfill their guiding role. The introduction of new question types is clear evidence of such reforms. Since 1996, the CET-4 and CET-6 tests have gradually adopted question types such as dictation, compound dictation, error correction, English-Chinese translation, and short-answer questions. Moreover, in the announcement regarding the adoption of new question types, the test committee stated, "New question types will continue to be introduced." It is predicted that to further refine the CET-4 and CET-6 tests, a new question type—Chinese-English translation—may be introduced in the near future (this book will introduce this question type in the relevant volume and specifically design authentic mock test questions for it).
