一、六级考试简介

大学英语六级考试（college english test，简称cet）同四级考试一样是由国家教育部高等教育司主持的全国性教学考试；考试的主要对象是根据教育大纲修完大学英语六级的大学本科生或研究生。大学英语六级考试以《大学英语教学大纲》为基础把整个大学英语课程分为六级，每级都有定量指标加以规定。其中一至四级为必修课，五至六级为选修课。

大学英语教学大纲规定六级考试对词汇的要求是记忆5500个单词以及由这些词构成的常用词组。在研究分析六级考试历年真题后，我们将六级词汇分为重点考查词汇和应知应会词汇。重点考查词汇是历次六级考试试题中出现频率较高的词（约550六级核心高频词在可以直接下载，大家在背完高频词后，再做2005年12月份词汇题，并将将最近三年真题做熟词汇就没有问题了）和词汇考查重点（即该词在六级考试中所考查的词意），应知应会词汇指《大学英语教学大纲》中六级水平所要求，但不构成得分重点的单词。
