商品簡介
This book studies the impact of the College English Test (CET), a national, standardized test millions of students in China must take. The results of the test have many serious implications for the student, such as the ability to graduate, job acceptance, and even the ability to get residence permits. The authors take an in-depth look at the system, from its history to the vast cheating industry the test has spawned. Coverage includes the history of the CET, uses of the test's results, questions of the CET's fairness, and the impact of the CET. The text concludes with several appendices discussing research methods and a sample CET. Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
