Система подготовки учащихся к выполнению олимпиадных заданий по английскому языку

Задания лексико-грамматического теста (Use of English)

Задания на проверку знания лексики и грамматики самые разнообразные и интересные и среди них можно выделить несколько типов, ставших уже традиционными в разделе Use of English:

• множественный выбор (multiple choice);

• внутриязыковое перефразирование (paraphrase) — относится к продуктивным типам тестовых заданий, требует от составителя четкой формулировки задания;

• клоуз-тест (one-word gap) — заполнение допущенных в тексте пробелов словами, артиклями и т.д.;

• перекрестный выбор (matching) — из двух списков единиц подобрать пары по тем или иным предложенным признакам;

• кроссворды, загадки;

• трансформация, замена, подстановка (transformation) — при проверке лексико-грамматических навыков.

Уровень сложности заданий растет от класса к классу.

В последнее время некоторые хорошо известные и часто используемые в тестах задания получили новый вид. Так, например, задание на поиск лишнего слова в тексте немного усложнилось, так как сейчас рекомендуется проанализировать не отдельную строку, а целый абзац.

В разделе Use of English появляются новые задания, проверяющие лингвистические компетенции учащихся. Возьмем в качестве примера задания заключительного этапа ВОШ 2018 года. Впервые появилось задание на слова-капитонимы. Капитонимы‑ разновидность омонимов. Различия заключаются в написании первой буквы (заглавная или строчная). Наличие или отсутствие капитализации влияет на значение слова. Пример: Mercury [‘mɜ:kjərɪ] ‑ Меркурий (планета) и mercury [‘mɜ:kjərɪ] ‑ ртуть (химический элемент).

В конкурс “Use of English” на муниципальном этапе и выше рекомендуется включать задания на проверку социолингвистической и социокультурной компетенции. Данные компетенции проверяются

• на основе страноведческого материала, включая такие области знаний, как география, история, литература, культура, наука, известные личности и их произведения;

• в заданиях на знание фразеологизмов, фразовых глаголов, устойчивых выражений;

• в заданиях на проверку знаний разновидностей английского языка (американский, австралийский, канадский английский).

Как подготовить учащихся к выполнению заданий лексико-грамматического теста:

1. Знакомить учащихся с грамматическими нюансами языка (advanced grammar points) и более продвинутой лексикой. В этом вам помогут книги издательства Macmillan Advanced Language Practice, авторы Michael Vince и Peter Sunderland, где вместе с грамматикой можно потренировать лексические единицы в разнообразных упражнениях, отличающихся от тех, которые приводятся в наших учебниках.

2. Выполнять задания из серии книг наставника московской команды, педагога, подготовившего 2 абсолютных победителей заключительного этапа ВОШ, А.П. Гулова «Olympway.Олимпиадные задания по английскому языку».

3. Ю. Б. Курасовская и др. «Всероссийская олимпиада. Английский язык. Задания регионального и заключительного этапов. С ответами и комментариями.

4. К. С. Махмурян, О. П. Мельчина «Олимпиады по английскому языку для 9 ‑ 11 классов».

5. О. П. Мельчина «Be the best! Будь лучшим! Готовимся к олимпиадам по английскому языку».

6. Для изучения и отработки употребления фразовых глаголов рекомендуется пособие Jake Allsop «Test Your Phrasal Verbs» с 60 тестами на практику употребления основных фразовых глаголов.

7. «English Idioms in Use» Michael McCarthy, Felicity O’Dell. Здесь можно найти фразеологизмы, распределенные по 60 тематическим блокам, и упражнения для их запоминания.

8. Научите обращать внимание на детали. Если в задании требуется подчеркнуть несколько слов в письменной работе, нужно это сделать. В вопросах с открытым ответом всегда написано, сколько в ответе должно быть слов.

9. Самыми пугающими и непредсказуемыми обычно кажутся задания на страноведение. Выучить все — задача, далекая от реальности, поэтому стоит просто постоянно расширять знания — читать как можно больше текстов по культуре англоговорящих стран, слушать подкасты, смотреть исторические фильмы. Следует знать как минимум базовые факты о Великобритании, США, Австралии и Канаде (флаги, столицы, символы, важные исторические события, самых выдающихся людей).

10. Сложности возникают с заданиями на знание идиом. Идиомы удобно запоминать тематическими блоками: animal idioms, time idioms, colour idioms и другие — их очень много. Советуйте выписывать идиомы и их значения, искать к ним ассоциации — так их легче запомнить. В онлайн версии Кембриджского словаря есть блог, в котором иногда бывают записи об идиомах и полезных выражениях в целом.

HOW TO GET AN A ON YOUR FINAL EXAM

0	During my senior year in college, I served as if a teacher’s assistant. One of my roles was to administer and proctor the exams. The class was a freshman introductory course, which had well over five hundred students. In order to manage these five hundred college freshmen, I had to establish rules.
00	The rules were as follows. The exams began at exactly 9:00 a.m. The students would pick up their test booklets and blue books and proceed to a seat. They would have exactly fifty minutes to complete the examination.
36	When final exam time came, the students were so indoctrinated into the system that I only needed to announce one warning at 9:40 a.m. So, as the final minutes ticked away, I announced, «It is 9:40. You have ten minutes until pencils down.»
37	At exactly 9:50 a.m., I would say, «Pencils down!» Everyone had to stop writing immediately, put their pencils down, proceed to the front of the room and turn out in their blue books.
38	Those who did not put their pencils down at exactly 9:50 a.m. and give their blue books to me would receive an automatic F, no exceptions!
39	Then at 9:50 a.m., I gave my last command for that semester: «It’s 9:50, pencils down. You know the rules!»
40	And boom, all pencils went down, just like always. All 500 students stood – or was it only 499? Yes, it was. Everyone was filled the aisle except for one sneaky guy.
41	He was just writing and writing away. I saw him up there, but he didn’t think I could have. Once again, I said, «Pencils down everyone!»
42	But he kept writing and writing, trying to beat my system. How dare he! Boy, would I get him! At 9:58 a.m., as I began to organize the stacks of examination packets, I saw this young man running down the aisle to surrender his exam to the table.
43	«Here, Mr. D’Angelo, take my blue book!» he huffed and puffed. It was an attempt at making me to break the whole system! «I cannot accept this. You know the rules. Pencils down at 9:50 a.m., or you get an automatic F!»
44	«Please, Mr. D’Angelo, take my blue book!» «No! You know I can’t do that. It’s against the rules.» «Please, please, take my blue book. I’m barely passing this class. My mom and dad are going to kill me if I will have to repeat this class. Just take it, and no one will ever know.» A tear began to stream down his cheek.
45	«I’m sorry. I just can’t.» I went back to the stacks, organizing them one by one. The young man just turned and walked away with his shoulders slumped.
46	Now with a stack of five hundred or so blue books in my arms, I watched the freshman to walk up the stairs toward the exit. Just about at the halfway point, he changed his mind and approached me again.
47	He questioned softly, «Mr. D’Angelo, do you know who I am?» «Why no, and frankly I couldn’t care less.»
48	«Are you sure you don’t know who I am?» he inquired with even greater confidence. I started to get a little concerned. Was this the dean’s son? What had I gotten myself into?
49	«No, I’m sorry. I don’t,» I said with a little hesitation in my voice. «Are you absolutely, 100 percent sure that you don’t know who I am?»
50	«For the last time, no, I don’t know who you are!» «Well then, good!» and he has shoved his blue book into the middle of the stack and ran out of the door.

READING

Time: 20 minutes

(15 points)

Read an extract from a novel and answer questions 1–15.

It would be simple enough to follow him. Roger was a man of
habits, and even when his hours of work were irregular, he would still take his
mid-day meal, whenever he did take it, at Percy’s. Miss Temple found an antique
bookshop across the street where, as she was obliged to purchase something for
standing so long watching through its window, she on impulse selected a
complete four-volume Illustrated Lives of Sea Martyrs. The books
were detailed enough for her to spend the time in the window, apparently
examining the books, while actually watching Roger first enter and then, after
an hour, exit alone, from the heavy doors across the street.

He walked straight back to his office in the Ministry
courtyard. Miss Temple arranged for her purchase to be delivered to the
Boniface, and walked back into the street, feeling like a fool. She had
re-crossed the square before she convinced herself that she was not so much a
fool as an inexperienced observer. It was pointless to watch from outside the
restaurant because only from inside could she have discovered whether or not
Roger dined alone or with others, or with which particular others — all
important information.

She had a pretty good feeling that the crime she believed he
had committed had no time connection with his working hours, which meant she
was likely to learn nothing from observing his working day. It was after work
that any real information would be gathered. Abruptly she entered a store whose
windows were thick with all shapes of luggage, hampers, oilskins, lanterns,
telescopes, and a large assortment of walking sticks. She left wearing a
ladies’ black travelling cloak, with a deep hood and several well hidden
pockets, opera glasses, a leather-bound notebook and an allweather pencil. Miss
Temple then took her tea.

Between cups of tea and two cakes, she made entries in the
notebook, summarising her plan and then describing the day’s work so far. That
she now had a kind of uniform and a set of tools made everything that much
easier and much less about her particular feelings, for tasks requiring clothes
and supporting equipment seemed somehow more objective, even scientific, in
nature. In keeping with this, she made a point to write her entries in a kind
of code, replacing proper names and places with synonyms or word-play that
hopefully would not be understood by anyone but herself.

Miss Temple left the tea shop at four o’clock, knowing Roger
to leave usually at five, and hired a carriage. She instructed her driver in a
low, direct tone of voice, after assuring him he would be well paid for his
time, that they would be following a gentleman, most likely in another
carriage, and that she would knock on the roof of the coach to indicate the man
when he appeared. The driver nodded, but said nothing else. She took his
silence to mean that this was a usual enough thing, and felt
all the more sure of herself. When Roger appeared, some forty minutes later,
she nearly missed him, amusing herself for the moment by peering through the
opera glasses into nearby open windows, but a sudden feeling caused her to
glance back at the courtyard gates just in time to see Roger, standing in the
road with an air of confidence and purpose that took her breath away, flag down
a coach of his own. Miss Temple knocked sharply on the roof of the coach and
they were off.

The thrill of the chase, complicated by the nervousness of
seeing Roger, was quickly lost when, after the first few turns, it became
obvious that Roger’s destination was nowhere more interesting than his own
home.

Task 1. Questions 1–7

In boxes 1–7 on your answer sheet,
circle: A (TRUE) if the statement agrees with the information
given in the text; B (FALSE) if the statement contradicts the
information given in the text or if there is no information given in the text.

1. Miss Temple took her time carefully selecting the four
   books which she bought in the antique bookshop.
2. Her mistake resulted from her being pretty much a beginner
   in the field of surveillance.
3. She bought a pair of glasses to read the books she had
   purchased in the antique bookshop.
4. Miss Temple encrypted her notes so that nobody could
   understand them.
5. She promised the driver extra money for his services.
6. Miss Temple had to wait more than an hour for Roger to
   appear.
7. Roger had committed a terrible crime at work.

Task 2. Questions 8–15

Choose option A, B, C or D which
best fits according to the text. Circle the correct letter in boxes
8–15 on your answer sheet.

1. Miss Temple thought it would be easy to follow Roger
   because

• A he always took a break at the same time.
• B his work schedule never changed.
• C he always ate lunch at a particular location.
• D she already knew the schedule of his working day.

1. Miss Temple bought a book at the bookshop because

• A she suddenly felt like buying something.
• B she was forced to by the shop owner.
• C she wanted a way to pass the time.
• D she needed an excuse to stay there.

1. What mistake did Miss Temple soon realise she had made?
