The Importance of Vocabulary Building for English Learners
Vocabulary is an essential component of language learning. It is like the building blocks that form the foundation of a language. Without a strong vocabulary, it can be challenging for English learners to communicate effectively and understand written and spoken English. Therefore, the development of vocabulary is crucial for English learners, especially for those preparing for the College English Test Band 4 (CET-4).
One reason why vocabulary building is important is that it improves reading comprehension. When learners encounter unfamiliar words while reading, their ability to understand the text is hindered. However, with a wide range of vocabulary, learners can easily deduce the meaning of new words based on context, making reading more enjoyable and productive.
In addition, vocabulary building enhances writing skills. A rich vocabulary allows learners to express their ideas more precisely and concisely. It enables them to choose the most appropriate words to convey their thoughts, resulting in clearer and more coherent writing. Moreover, a varied vocabulary helps learners avoid repetition, making their writing more engaging and sophisticated.
Furthermore, vocabulary plays a significant role in speaking and listening. When learners have a wide range of vocabulary, they can express themselves more fluently and accurately in conversations. They can also understand others better when listening, as they can identify the words and phrases used. This leads to improved communication skills and increased confidence in using English in various social settings.
To effectively build vocabulary, learners can utilize various strategies. One effective method is reading extensively. By reading a wide range of materials, such as books, newspapers, and magazines, learners can encounter new words in different contexts, thereby expanding their vocabulary. Additionally, using flashcards and vocabulary apps can help learners memorize and review words efficiently.
In conclusion, vocabulary building is essential for English learners, especially those preparing for the CET-4. It improves reading comprehension, writing skills, and speaking and listening abilities. By utilizing effective strategies, learners can continuously expand their vocabulary and enhance their overall English proficiency.

Effective Test Preparation Strategies for the CET-4
The College English Test Band 4 (CET-4) is an important examination for English learners in China. It assesses their English proficiency and is often a requirement for graduation and job applications. To effectively prepare for the CET-4, learners should employ various strategies that focus on different aspects of the test.
Firstly, it is important to familiarize oneself with the test format and requirements. By understanding the structure of the test and the types of questions that will be asked, learners can better allocate their study time and focus on areas that need improvement. This includes familiarizing oneself with the question types, such as multiple-choice, cloze passage, and reading comprehension.
Secondly, learners should practice time management during their preparation. The CET-4 is a timed test, and managing time effectively is crucial for success. Learners should practice completing sample tests within the given time limits to improve their speed and accuracy. This can be done by setting a timer and simulating test conditions as closely as possible.
Additionally, learners should focus on building vocabulary and grammar skills. These two areas are heavily tested in the CET-4. By expanding their vocabulary and mastering key grammar rules, learners can confidently tackle vocabulary-based questions, cloze passages, and sentence completion tasks. Regular vocabulary and grammar practice, such as using flashcards and completing grammar exercises, can greatly enhance one's performance in these areas.
Furthermore, learners should engage in extensive reading and listening practice. The CET-4 assesses reading and listening comprehension, and regular practice in these skills is essential. Learners should read a variety of materials, such as news articles, novels, and academic texts, to improve their reading speed and comprehension. Similarly, listening to a range of English audio materials, such as podcasts and lectures, can help learners familiarize themselves with different accents and improve their listening skills.
Lastly, it is important to simulate test conditions by taking mock tests. Mock tests provide learners with an opportunity to assess their progress and identify areas that still need improvement. It also helps learners become familiar with the test environment and reduces anxiety during the actual test.
In conclusion, effective test preparation strategies are essential for success in the CET-4. By familiarizing oneself with the test format, practicing time management, building vocabulary and grammar skills, engaging in extensive reading and listening practice, and taking mock tests, learners can effectively prepare for the CET-4 and achieve their desired results.

研究人员收集了太平洋沿岸(从华盛顿到南加州之间)13个地点的海蝴蝶(39)样本，并用扫描电子显微镜对其一一进行深入检查。来自海岸的个体样本中有一半以上(53%)的贝壳都(40)呈现出“严重溶解”的`迹象，而在来自(41)海面上的个体样本中仅有24%的贝壳受到溶解破坏。该研究的(42)首席研究员，来自NOAA的Nina Bednarsek指出那些受到影响的鯱螺的贝壳都拥有“菜花”状或者“砂纸”状的纹理。
据该研究报道，严重损伤的贝壳数量与海洋表面附近“欠饱合海水”百分率之间呈现出“强烈的正(43)相关”。研究人员推断出，“自该区域工业化时代以前的海洋条件算起，近海栖息地(由于人为导致的海洋(44)酸化)引起的贝壳溶解已经翻了一倍，到2050年可能会增至三倍，这真是个(45)糟糕的预言。此外，这对生态系统的更广泛影响并不明确，因为受伤的外壳会让鯱螺更难以抵御感染、保持浮力及逃脱捕食者的猎杀。
