Задания на рациональное заполнение пропусков (rational cloze tasks, разновидность open cloze) входят в экзамены Cambridge уже на протяжении четырёх десятилетий.
Здесь они ограничены пропусками только из одного слова.
Мы использовали оригинальные тексты из экзамена Movers, чтобы создать упражнения типа однопробелки, однословных open cloze (заполнение пропусков одним словом без предоставления списка слов). Предполагается, что выбранные пропуски позволяют легко определить смысл. Это лишь небольшая часть словарного запаса уровня A1. Грамматические темы также представлены только частично. С другой стороны, реальные экзаменационные варианты охватывают ещё меньшие объёмы материала. Если вы хотите найти больше упражнений такого типа, вы можете перейти по этой ссылке, чтобы скачать их.
ChatGPT или Gemini почти всегда успешно справляются с такими заданиями, но всё же в подавляющем большинстве случаев могут предоставить правильные ответы. Вы также можете попросить их ограничить используемую лексику и грамматику уровнем CEFR A1. Если их варианты отличаются от ваших ответов и вы подозреваете, что ваш вариант тоже может быть правильным, вы можете проверить оригинальные тексты с ключами ответов.
Да, для менее чем 10% пропусков существуют другие подходящие варианты заполнения, но мы сосредоточены на лексике и грамматике уровня CEFR A1.
На экзамене предполагается, что кандидат в среднем должен тратить до 1 минуты на заполнение одного пропуска.
Сокращённые формы (например, "it's") считаются одним словом.
