大学英语四级考试难度与通过率
一、考试难度
整体难度适中
对于英语基础较好，比如高考英语成绩在100分以上的考生来说，四级考试的难度相对不大，因为四级考试的很多内容和高考英语有一定的衔接性，像词汇、语法等基础知识在高考中都有涉及，并且大学期间也有英语课程的学习，进一步巩固知识。例如，四级的阅读理解部分在文章类型、题目设置上与高考英语阅读有相似之处，只是四级词汇量要求会更高一些，大概在4500 - 5000左右，而高考英语词汇量要求一般在3000 - 3500左右5。
然而，对于英语基础薄弱的同学来说可能具有一定挑战性。四级考试涵盖听力、阅读、写作和翻译等多个板块，需要考生具备综合的英语能力。其中听力部分可能是难点之一，因为需要适应不同的口音、语速以及听力题型，如长对话、短文理解等。写作和翻译部分也要求考生有一定的词汇运用能力、语法准确性和句子构建能力，例如在翻译一些具有中国特色的词汇或句子时，如果平时没有积累相关表达，就会比较困难2。

He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites.“I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.
