This part tests whether you understand a short text precisely. 10 questions — answer format: choose the option that agrees with the text.
Read a short text — a fact, a study, a piece of advice — and choose which of four statements agrees with it.
The wrong options are close paraphrases with one thing changed, or claims that go beyond the text. The right one is often a summary of the key point in different words.
请选出与试题内容一致的一项。
Choose the statement that agrees with the text.
