品鉴一套好试卷需要很多时间，更得有敬畏之心，因为真正用心命制的卷子着实不易，尤其是江苏的试卷。作为教师需要是要从卷子里看到自己的欠缺的地方，唯有如此才能促进自己。自拿到试卷后，至今终于可以拿笔谈谈自己的感受。以下仅为一家之言。

笔者在每一年高考结束后，都有意统计一下试卷中用到了多少词汇（不重复的），有哪些是课标八级词汇档次的，结果如下：

2016年：1130个词（课标词汇3500个），2015年：(1085个词) 后附。

课标八级重要词汇（252个，基本都是牛津教材中的）：

vote, community, disaster, gain, regularly, track, deficiency, drought, intelligence, memory, participate, purpose, risk, urge, agricultural, author, championship, compensate, core, instinct, judgment, mental, poverty, system, access, assignment, behavior, commitment, competitor, conflict, convenient, cooperation, criminal, definition, desire, despite, detail, device, emotional, expand, extension, function, increasingly, independently, infer, inform, inspire, intentionality, investment, involve, lack, mix, motivation, negative, observe, opportunity, overseas, physical, powerful, random, reconstruction, reduction, relate, relationship, resource, responsibility, reward, sacrifice, secondary, suffer, survey, technology, therefore, tough, version, Achilles, Opposites, accelerate, achievement, adjust, admission, admit, afford, afterwards, ambiguous, announcement, annoy, anxious, apart, apartment, apologize, appeal, appreciate, approach, arbitrary, argument, arrangement, aspect, assess, assistance, assume, astonish, athletic, attitude, automatic, available, behave, beneficial, calculate, candidate, chase, civil, clip, colleague, comedic, commercial, communicate, compensation, comprehend, comprehensive, compromise, concentrate, conclude, conduct, confuse, connect, consequence, considerably, consistently, constructive, contract, convince, cooperate, cooperative, cooperativeness, creation, critical, criticism, cute, decline, define, definitely, deliver, demand, deserve, differ, dilemma, dip, distinctive, district, eager, eagerly, earnest, eastwards, economically, economy, ensure, entrance, entry, envy, evidence, exactly, exchange, experience, explicit, extra, failure, fairness, feedback, foundation, fund, glorious, heel, immoral, impact, impressive, incorporation, independent, indicate, indication, infrastructure, innovative, inseparable, insight, insightful, instant, institute, interactive, judge, maintain, minimum, ministry, negotiation, neighbouring, occur, optimistic, origin, original, outbreak, overlook, overpopulated, participation, pattern, positive, possess, previously, priority, process, profit, promising, qualify, rank, reaction, reasonable, recall, receipt, recipe, recognize, reform, regardless, region, relevant, relief, relieve, remote, request, requirement, reservation, responsible, roll, roundabout, routine, rural, session, sincere, smooth, somewhat, stable, underline, unexpected, unpredictable, update, victim, violence, violent, vision, warn, weaken, weakness, weapon, whichever, worthy

这个我们的启发：一套试卷能用到3500词汇中的三分之一，而超纲词汇进一步被限制在50个内，另外八级词汇数量众多。可见要求并不低，虽然试卷阅读难度降低了，但对词汇的要求并没有降低多少。
