With the freshmen at 8 national key universities as the subjects, the study reveals that on average the score of language proficiency test is 58.31 （full score 100）, self-assessment of oral English competence is 2.66 （ Likert 5 ）, vocabulary size is 4297, frequency of overall use of the learning strategies is 3. 01 （ Likert 5 ）, and frequency of each strategy ranges from 2.67 to 3.31. As for the gender differences, females＇ writing, reading, translation and total scores are significantly higher than males＇, while males＇ listening score is slightly higher than females＇. Females have larger vocabulary size and higher self-assessment of oral English competence than males, yet with no significant differences.
