Types
of Test
Placement
A placement test is
designed to sort new students into teaching
groups, so that they can start a
course at
approximately the same level as the other students
in the class. It is concerned with the
student’s present standing, and so relates to
general ability rather than specific points of
learning. As
a rule the results are needed
quickly so that teaching may begin. A variety of
tests is necessary
because a range of
different activities is more likely to give an
accurate overall picture of a student’s
level
than a single assessment. Sometimes one member of
staff sees each student individually
before
the final class allocation is made. This procedure
has several advantages. It helps to complete
the assessment for each individual student by
disclosing factors which are not revealed by the
written tests, either positive ones such as a
friendly, outgoing character or a higher level of
production than a writing test suggests, or
negative ones such as a slight stammer(口吃) or more
than average shyness. Perhaps the greatest
advantage of the interview is that there is now
the
opportunity to assess both oral production
(the ability to make English sounds) and fluency
(the
ability to sound English in a
social situation) at one and the same time.
Diagnostic
A diagnostic test (sometimes
called a formative or progress test) checks on
student’s progress
in learning particular
elements of the course. It is used for example at
the end of a unit in the course
book or after
a lesson designed to teach one particular point.
These tests can take the form of an
extension
of the lesson from a practice phase into an
assessment phase. They can provide
information
about progress which may be used systematically
for remedial(补救的) work. The
diagnostic test
tries to answer the question “How well have the
students learned this particular
material?” If
his learning has been successful, the results will
give a considerable lift to the
student’s
moral and he is likely to approach the next
learning tasks with fresh enthusiasm. If he
finds he has not mastered the point at issue,
the test should give him clear indications of how
he
falls short, so that he can do some useful
revision.
Achievement
An achievement test
(also called an attainment test) looks back over a
longer period of learning
than the diagnostic
test, for example a year’s work, or a whole
course, or even a variety of different
courses. It is intended to show the standard
which the students have now reached in relation to
other
students at the same stage. This
standard may be established for a country, as with
school-leaving
certificates; or it may relate
to an individual school or group of schools which
issues certificates to
students attending
courses. But the important point which is common
to all these situations is that
the standard
remains constant as far as possible from course to
course and from year to year and is
external
to the individual class or textbook.
Proficiency
The aim of a proficiency test
is to assess the student’s ability to apply in
actual situations what
he has learnt. It seeks
to answer the question: “Having learnt this much,
what can the student do
with it?” This type of
test is not usually related to any particular
course because it is concerned with
the
student’s current standing in relation to his
future needs. Efforts must be made to use in the
tests
the kind of language which actually
occurs in the situations the student will meet.
For example, a
test which sets out to assess
the proficiency of a student hoping to follow a
university course in an
English-speaking
country would need to take into account not only
his level of skills in listening to
lectures,
but also his ability to take notes, to make full
use of what is written on the blackboard or
projected, and finally to use the information
he has gained from the lecture in his subsequent
writing.
An important element in
proficiency testing is to assess in some way the
student’s ability to
repair breakdowns in
communication, by asking for a repetition or an
explanation, for example, or
by rephrasing(改述)
what he has just tried to say. A rather typical
example of a standardized
proficiency test is
the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
It is used by nearly 1 000
institutions of
higher education in the United States as an
indicator of a prospective student’s ability
to undertake academic work in English. The
TOEFL consists of the following
sections:—Listening
Comprehension measures the
ability to understand English as it is spoken in
the United States.
—Structure and Written
Expression measures mastery of important
structural and grammatical
points in standard
written English. —Vocabulary and Reading
Comprehension tests the ability to
understand
the meanings and uses of words in written English
as well as the ability to understand a
variety
of reading materials.
Proficiency tests
sometimes add sections that involve free writing
andor oral production. This
division of tests
into separate categories is clearly rather
arbitrary(武断的), and though it is
convenient to
say that the purpose of any test can be defined in
this way, there are in practice
several
different purposes for every test. For example, it
has been argued above that an achievement
test
assesses the learning that has gone before, and is
therefore concerned with the past, but a
student taking this kind of test usually does
so because he needs the qualification to convince
someone else of his future potential, either
as a student in a more advanced course or as an
employee. In the same way, although a
proficiency test is not in theory concerned with
how the
student’s present stage of competence
has been arrived at, he may well have prepared for
it by
taking a course designed to help him to
pass.
45. Placement test can provide
information about students’ specific points of
learning.
46. The interview has an advantage
of reducing the workload of faculty members.
47. A diagnostic test checks on students’
ability to communicate.
48. A test for school
leaving certificates can be regarded as an
achievement test.
49. A proficiency test aims
to assess students’ ability to apply in actual
situation what they have
learned.
50. The
author chooses the TOEFL as an example of
proficiency tests because it is a well-known
test.
51. An important element in
proficiency testing is to assess in some way the
examinee’s ability to
continue a broken down
communication by asking for a repetition or an
explanation.
52. To see each student
individually helps to find the positive factors
not revealed in a written test,
such as a
_______________________________ than a writing
test suggests.
53. Diagnostic tests can take
the form of an extension of the lesson from a
practice phase into
______________________________.
54. There
is an argumentation that an achievement test is
designed to be involved the knowledge of
the
past, but the aim of an examinee is to get the
qualification to
______________________________.
Task 2
In-depth Reading (
Questions 55~64; 20
minutes
)
Directions: There are 2
passages in this task. Each passage is followed by
five questions. You
should read carefully the
four choices following each question and decide on
the best answer. If you
finish the task before
the time limit, you can click the SUBMIT button
and move on to the next task.
Passage One
Questions 55 to 59 are based on the following
passage.
Although monkeys and chimpanzees are
weaker and less fierce than many other animals,
they
possess brains that are much developed
along the evolutionary road. Birds can catch
insects on the
wing with unparalleled
skill—but they cannot think and reason. In
technical terms it can be said that
they are
lacking in insight. The abilities that they do
possess are built-in instincts derived from their
genetic inheritance. Monkeys can reason. They
can easily remember a lighted door indicating the
presence of food. A monkey can reach a banana
hanging high up in its cage by piling up boxes to
stand on and then knocking down it with a
stick.
Wolfgang Kobler had provided various
boxes and other apparatuses by which he proposed
to
test a chimpanzee’s ability to think out a
method of reaching a fruit hung nine feet in the
air. The
animal looked about it and sized up
the problem. Then it took Kobler by the hand, led
him to a
position immediately under the
banana, jumped up on to his shoulder and reached
it down from
there. But evolution, although it
has brought monkeys to a remarkable degree of
cleverness, has
stopped short at a crucial
ability, the possession of which places man at a
clearly superior level.
Their minds
cannot cope with abstract ideas. For example, an
ape can be taught to fill a can with
water
from a barrel and take the can of water to put out
a fire so that it can reach into a box and get
food. But if the whole set-up is arranged on a
raft the animal will continue to draw its water
only
from the barrel. It cannot grasp that any
water, taken more, conveniently, say, from the
pond on
which the raft is floating, will put
out the fire just as well. The abstract idea that
water puts out fire
is beyond it.
55. Birds owe their remarkable abilities
to______________.
(A) inheritance
(B) insight
(C) intelligence
(D) navigation
56. The superior
intelligence of monkeys, compared with other
creatures, apart from man, is
demonstrated
by______________.
(A) the possession of
brains
(B) the ability to
reason and think
(C) the memory
(D) the ability to cope with abstract ideals
57. Which of the following can NOT show the
intelligence of monkeys?
(A) Being less
fierce.
(B) Piling up
boxes to get food.
(C) Remembering
lighted doors.
(D) Developing their own
methods for solving problems.
58. Monkeys are
differentiated from man because they lack our
ability to______________.
(A) draw water from
a pond
(B) understand
abstract ideas
(C) stop short
and consider difficult problems
(D) use water
in the pond to put out fires
59. Kobler’s
chimpanzee is clever because it______________.
(A) chose Kobler himself as the quickest route
(B) successfully completed the experiment
(C) took Kobler by the hand
(D) used all
the gear provided
Passage Two
Questions 60 to 64 are based on the following
passage.
There are three basic ways in which
individual economic units interact with one
another. They
are the market system, the
administered system, and the traditional system.
In a market system,
individual economic units
are free to interact among each other in the
market place. Transactions
may take place
through barter or money exchange. In a barter
economy, real goods such as
automobiles,
shoes, and pizzas are traded against each other.
Obviously, finding somebody who
wants to trade
an old car in exchange for a sailboat may not
always be an easy task. Hence the
introduction
of money as a medium of exchange eases
transactions considerably.
An alternative to
the market system is administered control by some
agency over all
transactions. This
agency will issue laws or commands as to how much
each goods and service
should be produced,
exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit.
Central planning may be
one way of
administering such an economy. The central plan
drawn up by the government shows
the amount of
each commodity produced by the various firms and
distributed to different
households for
consumption.
In a traditional society,
production and consumption patterns are governed
by tradition. Each
person’s place with the
economic system is fixed by parentage, religion,
and custom. Transactions
take place on the
basis of tradition, too. People belonging to a
certain group or caste may have an
obligation
to care for other persons, provide them with food
and shelter, care for their health, and
provide for their education. Clearly, in a
system where every decision is made on the basis
of
tradition alone progress may be difficult
to achieve.
60. What is the main purpose
of the passage?
(A) To explain the science of
economics.
(B) To outline types of economic
systems.
(C) To argue for the superiority of
one economic system.
(D) To compare barter
and money-exchange markets.
61. Which of the
following could best replace the word “real” (Line
2, Para. 2)?
(A) High quality.
(B) Concrete.
(C) Utter.
(D) Essential.
62.
According to the passage, a barter economy can
lead to_________.
(A) rapid speed of
transactions
(B)
misunderstandings
(C)
inflation
(D) difficulties for the traders
63. According to the passage, who has the
greatest degree of control on an administered
system?
(A) Individual households.
(B) Small businesses.
(C) Major companies.
(D) The government.
64. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
(A) The central plan drawn up by the
government is mainly based on the needs of the
state as a
whole.
(B) The economic
system in China is based on the traditional
system.
(C) In a market system, transactions
are controlled by the government.
(D) In a
traditional society, economy develops very fast.
