2007年高考北京新增91个英语词汇及用法
今年高考北京新增91个英语词汇及用法在连续几年增加新词汇的基础上（2003年增加65个，2004年增加80个，2005年增加58个），2006年北京市高考继续增加新词汇91个，使得北京市高考考试说明的词汇总量升高至2688个（包括2282个单词和406个习惯用语和固定搭配）。为什么要持续增加词汇“不断加大学生负担”呢？临近高考我们应该怎么面对它们？笔者就此发表一下个人的看法：
1．《新课程标准》要求高中学生词汇量达到3500左右（根据笔者统计比较准确的数字是3434个单词以及265个单独列出的国家名称及相关信息和数字、星期、月份等----这就总共达到3699个单词，还不包括词组和短语）。《新课程标准》是国家纲领性文件，理应成为全国以及各独立命题的省、市高考词汇量的目标标准，天津、广东、湖北等地也在不断扩大词汇量，甚至今年有些省市比如湖南就直接明确提出词汇范围参照《新课程标准》。据此笔者大胆推断今后几年北京市高考词汇还将要继续增加，但范围还是跟这几年一样基本不会超出课标，因为近年增加的词汇中只有去年的一个单词original是课标外的新词, 但其源词即其名词形式origin也是包括在课标内的。
2．这次增加的91个单词有很多是英语学习和实际生活中经常见到和用到的基础词，在现行的主流教材课本中都属于比较高频的词汇。其实象人教版和外研版等高中课本都很注意词汇扩展以符合课标要求。今年增加的新词比如access，anyway，battery，cheat，culture，honey，horrible, movie, observe等等都应该是大家耳熟能详的，只要平时基本功比较扎实的同学就不必将他们看成负担为此徒生烦恼。
3．在高考前有限的时间内复习单词，笔者认为最重要的还是注意单词的意义和用法，重视功能性和生成性，特别要重视动词的运用，因此把它们放在句子中学习是比较有效的。至于每个单词要掌握到什么程度，比如要学会该词的几种词性和义项，笔者还是提倡以课标为准，下面就依此将所有91个新词整理出来，希望对大家复习有所帮助。
4．笔者在阅读研究近几年北京市高考说明时发现词汇表中竟然一直没有“I”这个基本的词汇，为什么北京英语高考要这样“忘我”呢？不知是排版错误还是其他什么原因，也许可以解释为以字母排序的形式出现了。笔者曾经试图电话联系北京市考试院可惜一直没能成功。在此提醒广大考生同学们注意。
