Abstract

CET 4, a national English teaching test hosted by Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, is now a large-scale nationwide criterion-referenced test for non-English majors. Reading comprehension, as a typical type in English test, its validity has captured most people's attention. Thus, this paper takes six test papers from December, 2013 to June, 2014 as samples and studies the validity of students' careful passage reading based on theories about syllabus request and language test. The results turn out that the setting of careful reading is successful while studies on the genre, theme, structure, length and reading skills test are urgently to be improved.
