Features: The "Teaching Syllabus for Graduate English" requires that "PhD candidates should, as a rule, reach or slightly exceed the English proficiency level of master's degree students upon admission." The vocabulary level for master's degree students is 5,500 words, which is explicitly stipulated in the "Teaching Syllabus for Graduate English." The "Vocabulary Workbook" strictly controls its vocabulary within this range. Higher education institutions also use this as a basis to determine the difficulty level of the English entrance examination for PhD candidates. The "Vocabulary Workbook" has the following features:
1. Based on the vocabulary determined by the teaching syllabus, it is of moderate difficulty and covers a wide range of words. It can help candidates review all words above the CET-4 level.
2. It provides necessary explanations for frequently appearing problems in vocabulary tests and their question formats, along with answers and brief analyses, facilitating candidates' understanding and gradual mastery.
3. The selected materials are extensive, with a large number of exercises, and necessary distinctions are made for commonly used and easily confused words.
4. The book is arranged according to parts of speech such as verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and conjunctions, accompanied by corresponding single-choice exercises.
5. Vocabulary exercises are organized in the form of normal examination questions, making it convenient for self-assessment and timed practice.
6. It includes vocabulary test questions and answers from six institutions, such as Peking University and Tsinghua University. The teachers who contributed to the book are primarily engaged in teaching graduate English and have rich experience in setting English entrance examination questions for PhD candidates, providing necessary guidance for the exam.
