英语专业八级词汇专项自测题十套（1000题）By朱晓慧（北大出版社）Edited by Adam Brown Shenstone声明因朱晓慧教授编著、王逢鑫教授审定，北京大学出版社出版的《英语专业八级阅读与词汇》一书已绝版近5年，而10000索取此书附录《英语专业八级词汇专项自测题十套（100题）》的读者甚多，本人制作了此书附录自测题的电子版，供广大读者使用。

请读者尊重国家版权法规定，下载后勿用于商业目的，仅供学习之用，且不使用本电子版文件制作替他一切形式的出版物，本人概不负责所产生的后果！20011《英语专业八级词汇专项自测题十套（1000题）》于200年出版后在英语学习者中产生了重要影响，对于参加托福、雅思、GRE以及英语专业八级、英语语言文学专业、外国语言学与应用语言学专业硕士研究生入学考试的读者有极大帮助。

2005年某著名出版社出版的某著名品牌的词汇记忆书大量剽窃此自测题中朱教授的原创题，由此可见自测题受欢迎程度。

八级词汇专项自测题十套（1000题）通过上述“代前言”和前四章的学习，我们已初步弄清了如下五个问题：1．“自然英语”是一种客观存在，是本书作者多年研习英语词汇和阅读的一种发现和归纳，它的核心就是对英语学习的观念、材料和方法进行客观描述，而不去主观规定，一切顺其自然。

2．本书的选词为什么要借鉴当今英语国家权威的英语词典，又参考适应中国各级英语考试“国情”的相关词表呢？对此，我们在第一章中，对八级选词的理据和来源做了若干讨论和说明，权当回答上述问题，让大家都成为明白人。

3．第二章分析、列举、测试了英语专业八级词汇与几种中美主要考试级别的词汇，不仅使读者高屋建瓴地俯瞰各级词汇的源头、流向、分枝的景况，也让读者“试上一把”，从而知道各级词汇的难度。

不仅如此，本章提供的相关论据和材料，对读者的整体复习，也能助上一臂之力。

4．本书在第三章中，首先把英语专业四级词汇和八级词汇在权威样题（主要是阅读题）中的情况做些说明，接着附录英语专业四级和八级全真阅读原题，以便读者真切感受各级词汇在其中发挥的作用。
