In 1987, a book titled The Spy Catcher by a former British MI5 intelligence officer caused a sensation in Western society, and China Central Television (CCTV) also reported on it in the News Broadcast. As a result, the domestic publishing industry was galvanized, scholars and translators worked tirelessly to search for publishing information, and relevant publishing houses did their utmost to seize publishing opportunities. However, it was the unknown Wang Maimai who emerged victorious from the crowd, signing a contract with Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House. Making his debut, he achieved a resounding success, with the first edition of his translation of The Spy Catcher selling nearly 100,000 copies. Once the momentum was gained, it was unstoppable. In the following years, Wang Maimai's translations of works such as Royal Sisters, Midnight Thoughts, Nancy Reagan's Memoirs, and The Unpublished Works of Mark Twain were published, each becoming bestsellers.
After 1990, due to teaching commitments, Wang Maimai began to compile college English textbooks and teaching materials for the CET-4 and CET-6 exams. From then on, small and large bookstores near universities across the country continuously introduced new best-selling Wang Maimai English books. Like a sudden spring breeze, a thousand trees blossomed overnight. In the domestic college English teaching materials market, Wang Maimai English became almost the sole dominant force, leading the trend for over a decade.
Today, the Wang Maimai English series has already hundreds of titles, covering a wide range of subjects from middle school to college and postgraduate entrance exams. Its brand has gained increasing popularity among readers due to its exceptionally clear explanations of textbook difficulties and its precise grasp of exam trends. Surveys show that students from many universities and high schools across the country own Wang Maimai brand books, with almost every student having at least one copy. The level of popularity is evident.
The College English Test Band 4 (CET-4) is designed for second-year students majoring in English in universities. It assesses students' ability to comprehensively apply basic skills and their mastery of grammar structures and word usage. Among the exam components, the Grammar and Vocabulary section accounts for 15% of the total score and is presented in the form of multiple-choice questions. Of course, vocabulary and grammar are also the foundation of the entire exam.
Each unit in the book is composed of three parts: "Cracking Difficulties," "Full-Scale Practice Tests," and "Answer Key and Explanations." "Cracking Difficulties" focuses on common grammar points and the differentiation and usage of frequently tested synonyms in the exam syllabus vocabulary. "Full-Scale Practice Tests" are compiled according to the latest exam syllabus requirements, consisting of vocabulary, phrase, and prepositional phrase usage questions, as well as grammar structure questions. "Answer Key and Explanations" provides detailed explanations for each question, covering sentence meaning, grammar points, phrase collocations, and word differentiation.
This book is designed for candidates preparing for the College English Test Band 4, but it is also suitable for non-English majors taking the CET-4 and CET-6 exams, as well as any English learners with a corresponding level.
