Features: This book is modeled after the reading section of the National English Proficiency Test Band 4 (CET-4). The book is divided into four chapters: Chapter 1 focuses on discourse-based foundational knowledge exercises, covering three aspects: reference relations, logical relations, and paratactic connectors, aiming to build a solid foundation for reading. Chapter 2 emphasizes analyzing the multiple-choice questions in CET-4 reading tests, providing targeted practice for six types of questions to master their analytical methods. Chapter 3 analyzes the textual features of CET-4 reading tests and offers intensive practice for frequently tested text types. Chapter 4 categorizes exercises by thematic content, integrating reading skill practice with knowledge and vocabulary learning. The book has four key features: First, it combines theory with practice, offering a systematic approach. Second, it breaks down reading skills and discourse rules into targeted exercises, equally emphasizing fundamental practice and flexible application, which is highly beneficial for candidates with intermediate English proficiency. Third, the book not only provides answers but also offers detailed explanations, helping readers fully grasp key points and difficult concepts. Fourth, based on a meticulous analysis and summary of original test questions, the book is highly targeted in terms of question types, themes, text styles, and skills, achieving the effect of learning from one example to understand many. This book is primarily designed for CET-4 candidates but is also suitable for students at the university sophomore level or equivalent. It serves as a practical reference for non-English majors (undergraduates and graduates), adult education English majors, overseas-bound individuals, and all self-learners of English.
