摘　　要：复旦英语水平考试(FET)是一项标准参照的学术英语水平考试,考试对象为复旦大学的在读本科生。本文介绍了FET考试的考察内容与试题结构,并且报告了2011年12月首次FET考试的数据分析情况。对首次FET考试的数据分析结果表明,FET考试的内部一致性信度比较理想;考生在考试各个部分的成绩相关情况也比较理想。方差分析的结果表明,虽然各考生群体的考试成绩之间存在着显著差异,但是差异的实际意义很小;探索性因子分析的结果表明,特征值超过1的因子共有两个,分别为"产出性英语能力"与"接受性英语能力"。数据分析在一定程度上说明了FET考试的效度。在将来的研究中,我们将进一步完善FET考试开发、实施等各个环节的质量控制措施,并且进一步开展FET考试的相关研究。Fudan English Test （FET） is a criterion-referenced EAP （English for Academic Purposes） test, targeted at the undergraduate students studying at Fudan University. This paper first and foremost gives an introduction to the FET, in terms of its test content and format. It then proceeds to reporting the results of the data analysis of the first FET administration in December, 2011. The data analysis indicates that the FET internal consistent reliability is quite satisfactory, and so are the inter-component Pearson＇s correlations. The ANOVA results indicate that though there is statistically significant difference between the scores of different groups of test takers, the effect size is small. Explor- atory factor analysis indicates that there are two factors （＂ productive English ability＂ and ＂receptive English abili- ty＂ ） with Eigen value over 1. The data analyses lend some support to the validity of the FET. In the future, we will continue to improve the quality control procedures in test development, administration, and scoring, etc. Meanwhile, we will also continue to conduct relevant research of the FET.
