Features: The five essential elements of foreign language learning—listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation—all rely on vocabulary. However, a pile of bricks does not make a building, and mere vocabulary alone cannot support the grand structure of English. There must be a bridge between having a vocabulary foundation and mastering the structure of the language. The purpose of College English Multifunctional Reading is to build this bridge for English learners, so the greatest feature of this book is vocabulary repetition, contextual memory, and reading advancement. Given that this book is also designed for the CET-4 exam, after integrating vocabulary into reading and memorizing words in context, it also includes simulated reading tests that match the difficulty of the CET-4 exam. By purchasing this book, learners can simultaneously familiarize themselves with vocabulary, reading, and exam-related content, making it naturally worth more than its price.
The "Multifunctional Reading" series advocates a natural learning approach that aligns with the principles of lexical and psychological memory. We have invested significant effort in selecting and adapting articles to ensure they are up-to-date, align with CET-4 difficulty, and cover most of the CET-4 vocabulary. This aims to provide intuitive difficulty standards for the CET-4 simulated reading tests, truly reflecting the concept of progressive reading and steady improvement in learning and memory. As a result, this book maximally aligns with our planning direction, which is the best direction we selected after combining scientific research, editorial experience, and reader feedback.
A careful reader may notice similarities between this book and last year's highly acclaimed Sparkling English Comprehension series. Indeed, the "Multifunctional Reading" series and the "Comprehension English" series share the same core philosophy, but the "Comprehension English" series focuses more on the tight integration of Sparkling memory methods with reading articles, which tend to be longer and more challenging. In contrast, the "Multifunctional Reading" series emphasizes the repeated appearance of syllabus vocabulary in both authentic English articles and CET-4 reading contexts. The authentic English articles are lively and engaging, while the simulated reading tests in the CET-4 reading section match the exam's difficulty, making them more suitable for the needs of the CET-4 exam.
Additionally, the detailed analysis of each question and the insightful tips on reading skills further highlight the unique features of the "Multifunctional Reading" series, setting it apart from the "Comprehension English" series while complementing it. It is particularly worth mentioning that due to the shorter length of each article but a higher number of articles, the "Multifunctional Reading" series covers a higher percentage of the syllabus vocabulary compared to the "Comprehension English" series (82% for the "Comprehension English" series), reaching 95% for CET-4 and 90% for CET-6.
Connecting vocabulary, achieving reading proficiency, and passing the exam are concerns that every English learner, especially those preparing for the CET-4 exam, pays close attention to. This is precisely the direction this book strives to fulfill. We hope this book can truly meet the learning and exam needs of, and help them overcome the challenges of the exam.
