3.2 Типовые задания для оценки знаний и умений

Пример текста для пересказа.

CPUs

The central processing unit (CPU) is the main processing unit of the personal computer (PC). It has an integral relationship with the motherboard and the system memory. These three devices control the data-processing aspect of the PC. Drives handle data storage, and input/output (I/O) interfaces allow human interaction, communication with peripherals, and network communication. The interaction between these components is controlled by the system BIOS or UEFI firmware.

32-Bit Versus 64-Bit CPUs

32-bit processors are designed to work with 32 bits of data at a time. This creates a limitation in the amount of installed memory they can access (4GB) and creates performance limitations when work-ing with large data sets and many programs running in memory at the same time. 32-bit processors are often referred to as x86 processors. 64-bit processors work with 64 bits of data at a time, and can use much larger amounts of RAM than 32-bit processors and provide faster performance. Although the first 64-bit processor to run some version of Microsoft Windows, the Intel Itanium, was not compatible with x86 software, 64-bit processors made for desktop computers are compatible with 32-bit or 64-bit operating systems and programs. 64-bit processors that can also run 32-bit software are often referred to as x64 or x86-64 processors.

4. Контрольно-оценочные материалы для итоговой аттестации по учебной дисциплине

Предметом оценки являются умения и знания. Итоговой аттестацией по дисциплине «Иностранный язык» в 3 и 5 семестрах является другая форма контроля, проводимая в форме итоговой контрольной работы или тестирования. В 4, 6, 7 семестрах – дифференцированный зачет.

4.1. Задания для оценки усвоения учебной дисциплины:

Порядок проведения работы

Работа рассчитана на 75 минут. Студентам раздаются варианты контрольной работы. Оценивание осуществляется с учётом следующих составляющих:

Spelling — правописание. Допущенные ошибки не должны затруднять понимание смысла высказывания.

Articles — употреблении артиклей в случаях и стой частью речи, где это необходимо.

Grammar -употребление правильной части речи и времени (tense). Допущенные ошибки также не должны затруднять понимание смысла высказывания.

Word order. Порядок слов в предложении при вопросе и повествовании отличается. Следовательно, при употреблении неверной конструкции студент теряет баллы при выведении итоговой оценки.

Оценку «отлично» получает студент, обнаруживший всестороннее, систематическое и глубокое знание материала курса, умеющий свободно выполнять задания, предусмотренные программой.

Оценку «хорошо» получает студент, обнаруживший полное знание материала курса, успешно выполняющий предусмотренные в программе задания.

Оценка «удовлетворительно» выставляется студентам, допустившим погрешности в ответе, но обладающим необходимыми знаниями для их устранения под руководством преподавателя.

Оценка «неудовлетворительно» выставляется студенту, обнаружившему пробелы в знаниях основного материала курса, допустившему принципиальные ошибки в выполнении предусмотренных программой заданий.

While attending Harvard in 1975, Gates together with Allen developed a version of the BASIC computer programming language for the first personal com­puter.

In the early 1980s, Gates led Microsoft’s evolution from the developer of computer programming languages to a large computer software company. This transition began with the introduction of MS-DOS, the oper­ating system for the new IBM Personal Computer in 1981. Gates also led Microsoft towards the introduction of application software such as the Microsoft Word Processor.

Gates still continues to work personally in product development at Microsoft.

• IntroductionThe worksheets in this workbook contain a variety o
  f exercises appropriate for students requiring a working knowledge
  o f English computing terminology. The worksheets can be used
  either for self-study or in the classroom and can be completed in
  any order. Several have extensions: short classroom exercises based
  on the language in the main exercise. All the questions within this
  workbook are based on the Dictionary of Computing (ISBN
  1-901659-04-6), also published by Peter Collin Publishing Ltd (see
  the last page o f this workbook fo r details o f how request
  information or order this or any o f our specialist
  dictionaries).

  This workbook is aimed at students with at least an intermediate
  level o f English. However, many people who work in computing have
  to read in English on a regular basis; students with a more basic
  level of English may therefore already have the passive vocabulary
  to handle many o f the exercises.

  Specialist vocabularyIt is important to appreciate that knowing
  specialist vocabulary involves more than simply recognising it.

  You can understand the meaning o f a word when reading or
  listening and yet be unable to remember that same word when
  speaking or writing.

  You may remember the word, but use it incorrectly. This can be a
  grammatical problem, like knowing that process can be used both as
  a noun and as a verb. Or it may be a question o f collocation: we
  use machine code, not processor code.

  Then there is the question o f the sound of the word. Can you
  pronounce it? And do you recognise it when you hear it
  pronounced?

  For these reasons — memory, use and sound — it is important that
  students practise specialist vocabulary so that they can learn to
  use it more confidently and effectively. The exercises in this
  workbook will help students to expand their knowledge and use o f
  computing vocabulary.

  Photocopiable materialAll the worksheets can be legally
  photocopied to use in class. If, as a teacher, you intend to use
  most o f the book with a class you may find it more convenient for
  the students to buy a copy each. You are not allowed to photocopy
  or reproduce the front or back cover.

  Using the Dictionary of ComputingAll o f the vocabulary taught
  or practised in this workbook is in the Peter Collin Publishing
  Dictionary of Computing. The Dictionary o f Computing gives
  definitions in simple English which students can read and
  understand. Many o f the examples and definitions in the workbook
  are taken directly from the dictionary. Students should have a copy
  of the Dictionary o f Computing for referring to when completing
  the exercises; using the dictionary is an essential part o f
  successful language learning.

  Structure of a Dictionary of Computing entryEach entry within
  the dictionary includes key elements that help a student understand
  the definition o f the term and how to use it in context. Each term
  has a clear example, and part of speech. This is followed by
  example sentences and quotations from newspapers and magazines that
  show how the term is used in real life. These elements o f the
  dictionary are used to create the questions within this
  workbook.

  Vocabulary Record SheetAt the back o f this book is a Vocabulary
  Record Sheet. Recording useful vocabulary in a methodical way plays
  a key role in language learning and could be done, for example, at
  the end o f each lesson. The Dictionary o f Computing is a useful
  tool for ensuring that the personal vocabulary record is accurate
  and is a good source for example sentences to show how words are
  used, as well as for notes about meaning and pronunciation,
  etc.

  ANSWER KEY52 Answer key Answers to all worksheets

• Using the workbookMost students find it easier to assimilate new
  vocabulary if the words are learned in related groups, rather than
  in isolation. For example, words frequently occur in the same
  context as their opposites and, as such, it makes sense to learn
  the pairs of opposites together (see worksheets on pages 8 and 27).
  Similarly, mind maps encourage students to look for connections
  between words (see worksheet on page 10). The exercises and
  activities in this workbook have all been grouped into sections.
  These sections practise different elements of computing vocabulary,
  enabling the student to gain a fuller understanding of the words
  learnt.

  The first section, Word-building {pages 1-10), encourages the
  student to identify links between words and to learn words that are
  morphologically related (for example, verbs and nouns which have
  the same stems). Within the Parts of Speech {pages 11-21) section,
  the emphasis is on understanding meanings and how to use terms in
  their correct grammatical forms. The worksheets in the third
  section practise the Pronunciation of computing vocabulary {pages
  22-24). The section Vocabulary in Context (pages 25-35) includes
  topic-specific exercises such as completing texts on operating
  systems and the Internet. The activities in the last section,
  Puzzles & Quizzes (pages 36-51), expand students knowledge and
  use of vocabulary in a fun way.

  Communicative crosswordsIncluded in the last section are five
  communicative crosswords. These are speaking exercises where
  students complete a half-finished crossword by exchanging clues
  with a partner. There are two versions of the crossword: A & B.
  The words which are missing from A are in B, and vice versa. No
  clues are provided: the students task is to invent them. This is an
  excellent exercise for developing linguistic resourcefulness; in
  having to define words themselves students practise both their
  computing vocabulary and the important skill of paraphrasing
  something when they do not know the word for it.

  Using communicative crosswordsStage 1 — Set-up. Divide the class
  into two groups — A and B — with up to four students in each group.
  Give out the crossword: sheet A to group A, sheet B to group B
  together with a copy of the dictionary. Go through the rules with
  them. Some answers may consist of more than one word.Stage 2 —
  Preparation. The students discuss the words in their groups,
  exchanging information about the words they know and checking words
  they do not know in the Dictionary o f Computing. Circulate,
  helping with any problems. This is an important stage: some of the
  vocabulary in the crosswords is quite difficult. Stage 3 —
  Activity. Put the students in pairs — one from group A and one from
  group B. The students help each other to complete the crosswords by
  giving each other clues.

  Make sure students are aware that the idea is to help each other
  complete the crossword, rather than to produce obscure and
  difficult clues.

  — W hats one down?- I t s a number o f instructions that perform
  a particular task.- A program?- No, it’s included as part o f a
  program.- A routine?- Yes, tha ts right.

  Alternatively, students can work in small groups, each group
  consisting of two As and two Bs and using the following
  strategies:i) defining the wordii) describing what the item looks
  likeiii) stating what the item is used foriv) describing the
  persons rolev) stating what the opposite of the word isvi) giving
  examplesvii) leaving a gap in a sentence for the wordviii) stating
  what the word sounds like.
