The series consists of seven volumes: Preparation Vocabulary, Basic Knowledge, Listening, Reading, Grammar and Vocabulary, Cloze, Translation, and Short Answer Questions, as well as Writing. The main creators of the series are teachers with years of experience in CET-4 and CET-6 teaching.

The series also includes contributions from some CET-4 and CET-6 high achievers in certain chapters, who share their successful preparation insights and valuable experiences for all students striving to conquer the CET-4 battlefield.
This book is one of the volumes in the 30 Days to Master CET-4 series, specifically the fourth part of the standard CET-4 exam. Before 1996, this section was always the "Cloze" (Cloze Test). In January and July 1996, "Translation" replaced "Cloze," and in January 1997, "Short Answer Questions" (SAQ) were introduced. Since then, the fourth section has become the most unpredictable part of the CET-4 exam. This book is part of the 30 Days to Master CET-4 series, focusing on Cloze, Translation, and Short Answer Questions, and features the following:
1. True 30-Day Breakthrough
The 30-day breakthrough in this book is scientifically structured with a certain volume of exercises, providing daily practice of various question types. This helps students systematically and comprehensively grasp key points in a short time, effectively manage study schedules, gradually master new CET-4 formats, and ultimately conquer the exam.
2. Scientific and Targeted
The editorial team strictly follows the CET-4 Syllabus guidelines, carefully analyzes past exam papers, and boldly predicts possible future question formats. The content is designed to be both scientific and targeted. We select fresh, diverse, and authentic English articles, create scientifically designed mock tests, and explain problem-solving strategies in a humorous yet detailed manner. This allows candidates to study independently and pass the exam without teacher guidance.
3. Highly Humanized Service System
Based on the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve, this book provides readers with a tailored learning plan. By strictly following the review schedule, readers can ensure learning effectiveness (see instructions for details). At the end of the book, we have prepared learning diary pages for readers to record daily insights and key challenges. After completing the book, readers can cut out and bind these pages for convenient review.
This book is divided into three parts:
Classic Format – Cloze
The authors statistically analyze the frequency and distribution of "Cloze" questions since 1995, dissect past exam papers, and provide detailed explanations and strategies from macro-level overall structure to micro-level word, sentence, and grammatical analysis. The "Challenge Past Papers" section includes 5 sets of 20 exercises, all sourced from reputable media like CNN, The New York Times, and VOA, with fresh, authentic language and appropriate difficulty. Answers and detailed explanations are provided, offering strong support.
Practical Format – Translation
The authors start by analyzing obstacles in "English-to-Chinese" translation, examining factors that hinder accuracy, and explaining the standards and strategies for tackling CET-4 translation. The "Challenge Past Papers" section consists of 20 carefully selected articles with diverse styles, accompanied by targeted translation examples and detailed explanations. The translations are natural and accurate, providing valuable reference material.
Popular Format – Short Answer Questions
The authors introduce the scoring criteria and principles for CET-4 short answer questions. By analyzing the latest two exam papers, they predict future question formats and recommend effective answering strategies. The 20 exercises provide high-confidence study materials, with answers and explanations designed to guide students as if they had a professional and patient teacher.
This book is a self-study guide for CET-4 preparation and can be used flexibly by readers. The editorial team offers the following suggestions for reference:
- Carefully read the problem-solving guidance for each question type to understand the principles, scoring standards, and potential obstacles in answering.
- Analyze and grasp the authors' strategies. Try the techniques and tricks designed by the authors, and practice all question types in the "Challenge Past Papers."
- Check your answers against the reference answers and explanations. You can set your own time—doing one unit (one set of exercises) or one passage (one exercise) at a time.
- Following CET-4 standards, the given time for the fourth section is 15 minutes, so adjust your practice time accordingly.
- Never skip any question type. Exam formats change every year, with the new question types being the most unpredictable. To pass smoothly and achieve high scores, prepare comprehensively.
