Features: The features of this book are summarized as follows:
New Types, Comprehensive Coverage; This book follows the reform plan of the CET-4, encompassing all reading comprehension types: intensive reading and fast reading. The intensive reading section includes the original passage reading comprehension as well as the newly added passage vocabulary understanding. With comprehensive coverage of types, it provides practical and effective practice for candidates preparing for the reformatted CET-4 reading.
Classification, Step-by-Step Progression; The selected articles in this book are classified into five categories—humanities, science and technology, economy, environment, and comprehensive—based on the themes of reading true questions. The selection is made according to the proportion of these themes in the CET-4 true questions, allowing candidates to conquer each type of reading article one by one.
Core Vocabulary, Memorize While Reading; Core vocabulary from the syllabus is one of the key focuses of CET-4 reading comprehension and also one of the most challenging aspects for candidates. The 160 reading passages in this book cover nearly 80,000 core vocabulary and phrases frequently appearing in the CET-4 exam, all highlighted in color. The "Reading Helper" section after each passage also lists their meanings in the context.
Complex Sentence Analysis, Overcoming Obstacles; Long and complex sentences in reading passages are another challenge for candidates.
People-Oriented, "Test" with Purpose; To some extent, reading comprehension not only tests a candidate's English proficiency but also assesses their knowledge breadth and structure. Therefore, this book provides practical background knowledge for some articles, enhancing candidates' understanding of the passages while also broadening their knowledge.
