CET Word Challenge

Generate CET vocabulary study materials — quizzes, flashcards, study sheets — from bundled word lists. Supports both CET-4 and CET-6.

Word Data

Word lists are stored as JSON in references/. Each entry contains:

{
  "word": "abandon",
  "translation": "v. 放弃，遗弃",
  "definition": "to leave someone or something permanently",
  "example": "They had to abandon the project due to lack of funds."
}

• cet4_words.json (601 high-frequency CET-4 words)
• cet6_words.json (557 high-frequency CET-6 words)

Scripts

All scripts accept --level (cet4/cet6/both), --format (markdown/html), --output (file path), and --count (number of words).

Workflow

1. Identify the task — quiz, flashcards, or study sheet? CET-4 or CET-6?
2. Run the appropriate script with desired options
3. Save output — markdown for notes/printing, HTML for interactive practice

Quiz Types (generate_quiz.py)

• multiple-choice — "Select the correct translation"
• fill-in — "Complete the sentence with the correct word"
• matching — "Match words with their definitions"

HTML Output

HTML output is generated directly by the scripts — no external templates needed. The generated HTML includes:

• Flashcards: Flip-card interaction, keyboard navigation (← → ␣), shuffle
• Quizzes: Click-to-reveal answers, inline feedback
• Study sheets: Searchable table with live filtering

Users can open the generated HTML files directly in any browser.

Using Custom Word Lists

Place additional JSON files in references/ following the same format. Pass --wordlist references/my_words.json to any script.
