Features: This book adopts a novel and intuitive two-column color layout, with a vocabulary range strictly adhering to the requirements of the "National Professional and Technical Personnel English Test Band B Syllabus" issued by the Ministry of Personnel. It possesses a certain authority. The left column lists entries in alphabetical order, followed by phonetic transcriptions, parts of speech, and definitions. When an entry has different spellings, they are separated by a forward slash (e.g., catalog/catalogue). The phonetic transcriptions follow the actual conditions of the National Professional and Technical Personnel English Proficiency Examination and use the 13th edition of the national standard for pronunciation. When a word has different parts of speech, they are marked below the phonetic transcription. When different parts of speech have different definitions, they are marked under the corresponding part of speech. Different meanings of definitions are separated by ①, ②, ③. The right column is a distinctive "highlight" of the book's layout and consists mainly of four parts:
1. Synonyms and Antonyms: In the book, these are referred to as "" (synonyms) and "" (antonyms). It is worth noting that the selection of synonyms and antonyms is based on strict comparison according to difficulty levels, aiming to choose vocabulary with similar levels and common usage, rather than selecting them solely for the sake of synonyms or antonyms.
2. Vivid Example Sentences: As part of the book's title, these sentences are lively and diverse, including poetic, humorous, contemporary, workplace, wise, campus, and more than ten other types, based on the new trends of the English self-study examination. We leverage our strong connection with overseas English current affairs to provide these sentences, each accompanied by a Chinese explanation. Sentences of different types are arranged on separate lines and reorganized, while sentences of the same type are continued with a forward slash separating them.
3. Memory Techniques: This book primarily focuses on root-based memorization methods, while also incorporating practical techniques such as "Expansion," "Association," and "Homophones" as appropriate.
4. High-Score Breakthrough: This section mainly consists of four parts: "Key Phrases," "Vocabulary Expansion," "Grammar Acceleration," and "Distinguishing." The "Key Phrases" section includes frequently tested or commonly used phrases related to the entry, with the word being replaced by "~" for consistency, and phrases are arranged in alphabetical order. The "Vocabulary Expansion" section includes vocabulary derived from the entry, which is frequently tested or commonly used. The "Grammar Acceleration" section focuses on common collocations, important grammatical features, and key sentence patterns related to the entry. The "Distinguishing" section emphasizes the differentiation between visually or semantically similar verbs.
For easy reference, the first three parts are marked with tabs, while the fourth part is marked with a different font. Due to space limitations, example sentences and explanations are not provided for some basic words with simple meanings and limited usage. To accommodate the layout, the definitions of such entries are uniformly moved to the right column.
