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 basic knowledge exercises, covering three aspects: reference relations, logical relations, and paratactic connections, 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 help master the analysis methods for each type.
Chapter 3 analyzes the textual features of CET-4 reading tests and offers highly targeted exercises for frequently tested text types.
Chapter 4 categorizes exercises by themes, 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 ability and discourse rules into decomposed exercises, emphasizing both fundamental practice and flexible application of reading skills, making it highly beneficial for candidates with intermediate English proficiency.
Third, the book not only provides answers to exercises but also offers detailed explanations, enabling readers to fully grasp key points and difficulties.
Fourth, based on meticulous analysis and summarization of original test questions, the book is highly targeted in terms of question types, themes, text types, and skills, achieving the effect of learning from one example to understand many.
This book is primarily designed for candidates preparing for the English Proficiency Test Band 4 but is also suitable for students with university sophomore-level English proficiency in various fields. It serves as a practical reference for non-English majors, postgraduate students, adult education English majors, overseas-bound individuals, and all self-learners of English.
