What this practice collection covers

This Chinese-language PDF collection brings together CET-4 past papers, listening transcripts and answer keys. It supports a cycle of full timed practice, error classification, transcript review, evidence location and a second attempt after the first explanation has been forgotten.

The English page is a searchable summary and training guide. The source includes Chinese guidance and English test content; current format, timing and examination arrangements require separate verification.

A baseline-to-review workflow

Complete one paper under the target time, record confidence and section timing, classify mistakes by cause, re-listen or re-read for evidence, and then redo the missed items after a delay.

File and scope note

The indexed file is an 11.51 MB PDF. Past papers are useful for format and strategy practice, not a guarantee of current difficulty or coverage. Content review date: 2026-08-23.

GUIDE

CET-4 past-paper practice guide

Establish a timed baseline, use transcripts and original evidence to explain mistakes, and turn the result into a repeatable strategy.

Before you start

  • Have a PDF reader, headphones, timer and error log.
  • Know the approximate order of listening, reading, writing and translation tasks.
  • Reserve a quiet block for full-paper practice and use a separate answer sheet.
02

Quick start

  1. 01

    Complete a timed paper

    Follow the target duration, record start and end times for each section, and mark confidence without checking answers.

  2. 02

    Classify errors

    Label mistakes as vocabulary, evidence location, inference, distractor, listening, grammar or time management.

  3. 03

    Re-listen and re-read

    Listen once without the transcript, then mark connected speech and signal words; return to the reading passage and circle evidence.

  4. 04

    Redo after a delay

    Re-answer missed items the next day, explain why the correct option works and update the personal strategy list.

Usage tips

  • Keep the first baseline under real time limits; use untimed drills only after the weak section is identified.
  • When an answer or explanation seems inconsistent, return to original evidence and record the question for review.
  • Review listening in short segments, focusing on sound changes, signal words and structure rather than repeating a whole track.
Troubleshooting and uninstall

I understand the transcript but cannot follow the recording. What should I do?

Split sentences, mark linking, weak forms and stress, then use shadowing and dictation before reducing transcript support.

I run out of time in reading. How can I diagnose it?

Record time per passage and hesitation points, practise locating question keywords and evidence, and adjust order from the data.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Should a CET-4 paper be done as a full set or by section first?

Use one full timed paper for a baseline, then split listening, reading, writing and translation by error cause.

Should the listening transcript be read immediately?

Listen once without it, then use the transcript to mark linking, weak forms, stress and signal words before testing again.

What belongs in an error log?

Record task type, error cause, original evidence, reason for the correct option and the action for the next attempt.
