It specifies what each item type measures, including kanji reading, context-based expressions, paraphrases, word usage, and multiple levels of grammar judgment. The reading component covers comprehension from short passages to thematic long texts and integrated text comparison, plus information retrieval from practical materials. The listening component targets task-based extraction, key-point narrowing, overall intentions, quick responses, and integrated comprehension from multiple sources.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/n1-purposes-of-test-items/506606/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/n1-purposes-of-test-items/506606.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Indoniesian
