Features: Breakthrough in College English Vocabulary for CET-4 and Typical Exam Questions is meticulously compiled based on the requirements of the New Revised Edition of the College English Teaching Syllabus for higher education institutions. It references the sample questions listed in the syllabus and (previous years') College English Test Band 4 (CET-4) test papers, focusing on the vocabulary difficulty level. This book targets the vocabulary required for the basic stage of college English teaching (i.e., CET-4 level), selecting approximately 4,200 College English Band 4 words based on word frequency, while also considering the needs of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. These include 1,800 words that should be mastered at the high school level, covering the vocabulary in the unified college English textbooks from Book 1 to Book 4. These words are also essential for non-English major university students to upgrade their vocabulary from intermediate to advanced levels, ensuring they pass the College English Test Band 6 (CET-6).
The book is divided into four parts, with 12 units in each part, and is designed to complement the New College English textbooks published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press (FLTRP) for Books 1 to 4. Its key features include:
- All entries are provided with Chinese definitions, synonym memory techniques, common collocations, word meaning distinctions, and analysis of typical example sentences.
- Each unit includes vocabulary selection exercises to help students enhance their awareness of English vocabulary discrimination.
- Some exercises are marked with "（4941）" or similar, indicating they are actual CET-4 test questions from January 1994.
The book's features are as follows:
- Extensive word selection – 4,200 common CET-4 words.
- Practical example sentences – Teaches word usage in real contexts.
- Exemplary learning – Links related words to expand thinking.
- Reinforcement – Provides practical exercises, including actual test questions.
