本书是根据专四考核目标及专四考试的特点进行选材并进行录音 的。总体有如下特点： 材料由易到难，有助于考生逐步适应。本书前100篇短文的内容较为简单，重在训练考生的听写速度和准确性；后100篇短文取自英语媒体的原文，语言原汁原味，内容富有启发性，题材也广泛多样，同时也提高了听写训练的难度，便于听写技能的进一步提升。 录音有针对性，有助于听写技能的提高。本书音频的录制特别针对了考生在听写中暴露的问题。短文的正常朗读和间隔的把握都非常讲究，为了训练考生对意义单元的记忆，有意识地缩减了间隔时间。考虑到有的考生不习惯英音或美音，录音人员既有美国专家，也有英国专家，有助于考生很好地适应两种标准的语音，服务于考生未来的口头交流。 精听结合拓展，服务考生语言的学习。在精听每一训练短文之后，考生还有机会学习与精听内容相关的生词读音、词性、词义以及与词相关的短语或搭配，拓展考生的语言知识，丰富考生的英语词汇。
