吴中东：从08年英语专业考研命题预测09年趋势
北京环球时代学校 www.globaltimesschool.com
从2008年全国各院校英语专业考研的结果来看，08年英研的试卷命题与2007年相比更“友好”，题型更规范、出题更有尺度、更易于学生把握和复习。
从08年部分院校的试卷中，我们总结出英研考试的出题日趋成熟，过去认为比较难的学校现在有向友好性方面的调整，而过去认为过于友好的学校，则向着更加合理难度回归。
最典型的就是北京语言大学，过去被认定是极不友好的学校，不指定参考书，不提供往届真题，使考生摸不着脉络，屡不清头绪，有两眼一摸黑的感觉。但是08年北语的考题表现出极其友好的态势，首先基础英语试卷呈现出专四、专八、超专八的梯度分布，题型更加规范，以至于今年考出的成绩也普遍的高，环球时代学校08年就有4个上400分的，还有一个考了397，有点儿分值膨胀，但是，在此专家要提醒准备参加09年考研的考生注意，09年北语的考试不要太乐观，80%要增加难度。
另外，对于备考09年北京外国语大学的考生来说，考试的形式仍是一如既往，这反映出北外一贯保持的严谨、学术的风格，但是北外08年在取材上发生了一些微妙的变化，比如其中有两篇阅读、一篇翻译（英译汉）都是选自大家比较通晓的美文，（环球时代《英语专业学习与应试必背美文》中都有涉及）。而上海外国语大学的题型则从过去偏重于词汇（GRE）、文学的考察，向注重报刊、时事文章等转化，充分强调英语的运用能力。
北京航空航天大学的题型与过去相比没有太大变化，但是单题的难度加大了，考生们普遍反映今年题答的不顺，不过专家分析明年可能会做适当调整，因为北航的一贯风格还是比较友好的。对外经贸大学08年题型没有太大变化，波动不大，单题明显呈友好态势。诸如此类的学校还有首都师范大学、北京交通大学、上海大学等等。
总之，通过对08年英语专业考研真题的综合分析，所以我们观察到，未来的英语专业考研将逐步向着更专业、更理性的方向发展，选择真正符合社会、时代和专业需要的合格人才。（编辑：王进）
