Надкембриджские тесты по английскому языку по материалам Cambridge YLE Movers

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 2-4 слов.

Мы использовали оригинальные тексты из экзамена Movers, чтобы создать упражнения типа многопробелок, многословных open cloze (заполнение пропусков 2-4 словами 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 кое-как справляются с монологами, но хуже — с диалогами. Вы можете попросить их заполнять пробелы 2-4 словами, ограничить используемую лексику и грамматику уровнем CEFR A1, и с облегчением поймёте, что ещё не скоро роботы смогут заменить трезвомыслящих людей.
Если их варианты ответов отличаются от ваших, и вы подозреваете, что ваш вариант тоже может быть правильным, вы можете взять оригинальные тексты и найти ответы.

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.
