Features: The "Synchronized Test Series" for College English (Levels 1, 2, and 3) is compiled based on the vocabulary lists of the College English Teaching Syllabus (Levels 1-4) issued by the Ministry of Education and the newly promulgated "College English Teaching Requirements." The purpose is to adapt to the needs of college English teaching reform in the new century, cultivate innovative abilities in college English education, emphasize students' hands-on and practical application skills, align with international standards in preparation for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and implement the teaching requirements of college English reform firmly into the graded teaching system. It aims to assess the comprehensive practical English proficiency of students who have completed the College English courses for Levels 1, 2, and 3. Each semester corresponds to one level, with the ultimate goal of helping students smoothly pass the College English Test Band 4 (CET-4).
The "Synchronized Test" series features a wide range of materials, primarily based on four college English textbooks recommended by the Ministry of Education for use across universities. The content, including listening comprehension, reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, cloze, English-Chinese translation, English writing, short-answer questions, and dictation, aligns with the teaching content and textbooks of the same level.
The first part of the book includes introductions to the teaching syllabi for each level and provides insights into solving various types of questions and test-taking strategies. The appendix contains common phrases, collocations, and mnemonic rhymes for prepositions. Additionally, the test points in each level of the "Synchronized Test" series fully align with the test points of the National College English Test Band 4 and 6 (CET-4 and CET-6), laying a solid foundation for students to pass these exams.
The "Synchronized Test" series also serves as supplementary material for the compulsory "College English" course for university students. Using it alongside the foundational textbooks in the same level will yield twice the result with half the effort. Each set of synchronized test questions includes reference answers, question analyses, and transcripts of listening recordings.
After completing each unit of the intensive reading textbook, students can take a synchronized test of the same level to self-assess their learning gaps and understand their mastery and application of language and test points at each level. Therefore, the "Synchronized Test" series is an excellent tool for self-study in college English.
