摘　　要：Four samples were chosen by systematic sampling from the range-finders between 1987 and 2003 to test the range-finders’ representativeness of the scoring criteria of CET-4 compositions. The samples were analyzed from the perspectives of transitivity, modality, thematic structure and cohesion. Fisher's Exact Test from the SAS system was used to compare two-sidedly the correct rate and the constituent ratio of these functional usages between two neighboring levels. Statistical results indicate that it is the quality, not the quantity of these functional usages that distinguishes two neighboring levels. The range-finders can basically represent the abstract scoring criteria as far as the four functional systems are concerned. However, the validity of CET-4 writing needs to be improved.利用系统抽样法从1987至2003年的四级作文评分样卷中抽取4份样本,从及物性、情态、主位结构和衔接四方面分析样本,使用SAS统计软件的Fisher sExact Test双侧检验样本的相邻两档在使用上述功能系统的正确率和构成比两方面有无显著差异。统计结果表明,拉开相邻两档差距的是这些功能用法的质量,而不是其数量。就这四种功能系统而言,评分样卷基本能体现抽象的评分标准。然而,四级作文测试的效度有待提高。
