CET-4完形填空考点效度历时研究（2007-2010）

摘要

Cloze test is one of the common patterns in language testing at home and abroad,which mainly examines the integrated English ability of the test candidates.With CET-4 papers from December 2007 to December 2010 as samples,this article analyses its validity from text selection,testing-point gradation and testing-point validity.Results show that the cloze tests tally with the requirements of CET-4 Testing Syllabus with proper texts and rational testing-point gradation.But the cloze test should enhance its comprehensiveness and textual function further in the future.%完形填空是国内外语言测试的常用题型,旨在考查考生的语言综合运用能力。本文以2007年12月至2010年12月间CET-4完形填空试题为样本,从文本选择、考点层次及考点效度等方面对其效度进行了验证。结果表明,四年来完形填空试题设计符合《大学英语四级考试大纲》的要求,文本选择得当,考点层次较为合理,分布态势较好,试题的考点效度较高。但同时表明对于今后该类试题的命制仍应进一步提高试题的综合性,突显篇章功能,扩大考点范围,提升考点层次。
