摘　　要：阅读理解是大学英语四级考试的重要组成部分,其信度和效度一直以来是人们关注的焦点。以2006年12月施考以来的大学英语新四级考试真题(共6套)为样本,从语篇输入、预期回答和题项设计等方面分析阅读理解部分的内容效度,认为英语新四级阅读部分的命题从总体上来说比较成功,但也存在一些不足:试题单卷的体裁和题材结构分布不均匀,阅读技能考查不够广泛,文章长度控制不够稳定等。基于上述研究结果,对英语四级阅读部分的命题提出了一些建议。Reading comprehension is an important component of CET -4, whose reliability and validity have been becoming a focus for a long time. Taking new CET - 4 papers implemented since Dec. 2006 as samples, the characteristics and content validity of CET - 4 reading section are analyzed from three aspects ： text input, expected respond, relationship between the input and respond. The result shows that reading section of CET -4 was well -designed from the whole. Meanwhile, some improvements in the aspects of the distribution of genres and topics, control of text length, extension of reading skill testing of each paper, and so on are pointed out. Based on this research, some suggestions are put forward for improving in compiling CET -4 reading section.
