中考英语完形填空题的内容效度分析

中考英语完形填空题的内容效度分析

中考英语完形填空题的内容效度分析作者:赵爱灵朱春玲廖文藏来源:《考试周刊》2013年第07期摘要:本文选取2005到2012年温州市中考英语完形填空为研究样本,采用刘润清(2000)内容效度判断标准,从测试内容自身代表性、与测试目标的相关性和对测试对象适用性三方面对其内容效度进行分析,发现历年完形存在以下几个特点:①篇章词汇难度、密度适中;②题材、体裁合宜,图文并茂;③考点层次、考点效度高;④易读度偏高但综合难度合适;⑤文章删词间隔数合理,句子长短错落分布。

关键词:完形填空内容效度文本难度试卷评估的主要标准包括效度、信度、难度、区分度、实用性及后拨作用。

而效度是衡量语言测试最重要的指标[3]。

本文针对2005到2012年温州市中考英语完形填空进行分析,以期从内容效度的角度对命题质量做出评估,为新课改后命题提供参考。

根据刘润清(2000)可知,内容效度可从三个方面进行判断,即①测试内容是否和测试目标相关;②测试内容是否具有代表性;③测试内容是否适合测试对象[3]。

1.测试内容和测试目标的相关性新课程标准要求初三学生英语达到课程五级水平,对阅读推断力、理解力等有要求。

因此,在完形词汇量、题材、体裁、呈现形式等方面的设置应尽量体现这几点。

据统计,温州卷词汇基本为纲内词汇,控制在220—370字左右。

2010年起,因完形体裁为记叙文,词数陡增。

场景设置与情节描写生动具体,给学生理解故事情节创设情境,有利于实现课标要求。

生词比例均控制在3%以内,未超出《考试说明》的生词比例。

但笔者认为,2007到2012年生词比例过低,不利于测试学生根据上下文推测生词词义的能力。

今后应适度增加生词比例,使文章更具可推测性。

篇章题材符合新课程标准,体裁合理,图文并茂。

八年完形题材与中学生个人生活联系紧密,如2011年“圣诞礼物”。

75%篇章体裁为记叙文,情节较生动,其余为说明文,一半试题配有相关图片,条理较清晰,有利于检测学生段落间逻辑关系、故事主题、情节及发展的理解及预测、阅读常见体裁的能力。

A“Reading makes a full man” (Bacon, 1597). Novels written by the writers like Jane Austen, Victor Hugo and Ernest Hemingway help us to know more about our history, culture and many other things.Jane Austen was one of the most well-known women writers of the world. She was born in England in 1775. Jane loved reading and writing. She wrote a number of famous novels in her life. Among them, Pride and Prejudice written in 1779 was the most popular.Victor Hugo, born in 1802 in France, was one of the best writers in the19th century. The talent in writing and hard work brought great success to Hugo at an early age. His most popular novel, the Hunchback of Notre-Dame, was written in 1831. The book was so successful that it was quickly translated into many other languages across Europe.Ernest Hemingway, an outstanding American writer and reporter, was born in 1899. His life experience had a great influence on his writing style. Hemingway lived in France and Italy between the 1920s and 1950s. Most of his books such as The Sun Also Rises were written at that time. He won the Nobel Prize in 1954 mainly because of the novel The Old Man and the Sea.26. When was Jane Austen born?A. In 1775B. In 1799C. In 1802D. In 189927. Where was Victor Hugo from?A. England.B. America.C. Italy.D. France.28. Ernest Hemingway won the Nobel Prize mainly because of _________.A. The Hunchback of Notre-DameB. Pride and PrejudiceC. The Old man and the SeaD. The Sun Also RisesBFrogs are animals that can live both in water and on land. There are more than 5,000 kinds of frogs on the earth. The earliest known frogs lived about 190 million years ago and the frogs today still look the same. Here are some fun things that you might not know about frogs. Enjoy!The Biggest and the Smallest FrogsSome frogs can be very big. The biggest kind of frog is the Goliath Frog in West Africa. Its body can be nearly 30cm long, about the size of a large cat. The Gold Frog and the Poison Frog are the smallest frogs in the world. They are less than 1cm long. Though the Poison Frog is very small, it is not weak at all. It is dangerous. Any animal that eats it will die very soon.The Best JumpersFrogs are very good at jumping. They developed jumping legs so that they would not be eaten by other large animals. Using their big strong legs, more frogs can jump over 20 times their own length. It is like a person jumping over about 30,48. The Australian Rocket Frog can even jump over 2m, which is 50 times its body length(5.5cm). That might be the reason why frogs are called the best jumpers on the earth.The Cryogenic AnimalSome frogs like the Common Wood Frog have a special ability to live in very cold places. When the temperature goes down, they become ice frogs. 2/3of their body water freezes. Their hearts stop, and their breathing stops too. You may think they are dead, but in fact they are not.

Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the busiest time of the year.When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the most “useful” and busie st person of the family. Grandma was a kind, well-educated old lady. She was good at cooking. All her relatives liked the food she cooked. During “fairtime”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there. Grandma was always happy to look after them.Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no loner “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Granma in her house. We did our best to make her day-to-day life as comfortable as possible. I was at high school then. What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspaper’s crossword puzzle. However, she didn’t look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.To attract people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the Fair. One day, when I came back room school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked a lot much younger. She told me that her two nieces would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they want to stay in my house again.” Grandma said happily. “They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week I’ve had in years!”I suddenly realized that Grandm a didn’t want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful”, appreciated and helpful.33.

Grandma’s FamilyDText messaging, or simply “texting”, with allows people to send and r eceive messages on mobile phones, becomes very popular today.The advantages of texting are obvious. Texting helps to save money. If you have a few words to greet your families and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals, sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling. Texting helps to save time. Even if you want to send a message to 100 people, you can do it one second. Texting helps you to “talk” to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone. Texting can also help you to “talk” to someone secretly if you don’t want others to hear what you are talking on the phone. These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it. They hold mobile phones in hands all day long, send dozens of messages each day, and even text while driving or walking.However, texting has its disadvantages. Junk messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then. When your phone box gets too full, you can’t receive any more messages. You may therefore miss some important information.What’s more, if you don’t do texting properly, for example texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous. It can cause injuries and even death. It was reported that about 6,000 people were killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year. In Fort Lee, a small town in New Jersey, USA, three people died because they walked into traffic while texting in 2011. Two researchers at Stony Brook University, New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others. When peopl e are texting, they don’t notice other people or things around them. To reduce traffic accidents, all drivers of the UN are now not allowed to text while driving. About 32 countries have passed laws restricting the use of mobile phones while driving.Texting is a wonderful way of communication. However, only when we use it properly, can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.37. How many advantages of texting are mentioned in the passage?A.Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.38.
