摘　　要：本研究采用语料库方法,对2013年以来的大学英语六级阅读篇章从词汇、句法、主题词层面进行了共时和历时的多维度复杂度分析,并以雅思阅读作为参照系进行了详实地比较。研究表明:六级阅读中快速阅读和仔细阅读无论是词汇复杂度或是句法复杂度都保持着良好的统一,且跨年波动不大,出题质量稳定性较好。但与雅思学术阅读相比,词汇密度没有差异,词汇高级度上低于雅思阅读,而词汇广度上却高于雅思阅读。在句法上,六级阅读的从属结构比率C/T值高于雅思。主题词的考察上,六级阅读所涉及的主题一般是以学生为中心,和学生学习生活紧密相关,而雅思却跳出个人的范畴,更加宏观、客观地反映科学、学术体裁。This study uses a corpus method to analyze the synchronic and diachronic multi-dimensional complexity of the CET-6 reading texts from 2013 to the present in terms of vocabulary,syntax,and keywords as compared with IELTS reading as a reference.Research shows that fast reading and intensive reading in CET 6 maintain a good consistency in terms of lexical complexity and syntactic complexity,with little fluctuation across years,and the quality of the passages is stable.But when compared with IELTS academic reading,there is no difference in lexical density.Significant difference exists in terms of lexical sophistication,where CET 6 is lower than IELTS reading,and in lexical variety,where CET 6 is higher than IELTS reading.In terms of syntax,the C/T value of the subordinate structure ratio of CET 6 reading is higher than that of IELTS.The keyword survey found that the topics involved in CET 6 reading are generally student-centered and closely related to students’study and life;while IELTS has jumped out of the personal category,and more impersonally and objectively reflects the scientific and academic scope.
