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，而索取此书附录《英语专业八级词汇专项自测题十套（1000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！

《英语专业八级词汇专项自测题十套（1000题）》于2001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。
