The fourth and sixth examination levels have always attracted the attention of the majority of candidates, and from now on2007The online exam, which is being planned by the National Level 4 and Level 6 Examination Committee, has actually been implemented for students in some colleges and universities this year. Of course, it will take some time for full implementation. The future CET-4 and CET-6 exams will be very close to the new TOEFL exam and are calledIBT(internet-based test),Commonly known as the "I'm Abnormal" test, the difficulty can be imagined. There will be multiple exam opportunities every month, there are100*100(10,000 sets of question bank)'s combination probability, so levels 4 and 6 will also have their own mechanics in the future. Of course, in addition to the major change of the online exam, what is even more surprising and unacceptable to candidates is that listening-based questions account for CET-4 and CET-6 exams70%, the rest30%It is reading, which has absolutely overturned the previous status quo of reading first, or reading and listening in parallel. The Department of Higher Education has also had new ideas and guidance on the understanding of listening in higher education. Our teaching in colleges and universities will also follow the situation and carry out reforms. It will be based on online teaching combined with face-to-face teaching. "Listening becomes the basis for speaking, reading, writing and translating." With this understanding, it’s no surprise that listening comes first.
The following are the basic question types of the new CET-4 and CET-6 that the majority of students and candidates are concerned about, so that everyone can have a comprehensive understanding of the new online exam: listen or watch three recordings or videos(General2Audio sum1Video), the content involves lectures/Report, conversation/Interview, or news. Generally selected fromCNN,VOA,BBCetc. Therefore, both British and American pronunciation are available, instead of the current listening comprehension which is mainly American pronunciation.
