3. Подходы к отбору содержания, разработке структуры КИМ ЕГЭ
Целью единого государственного экзамена по иностранному языку является определение уровня иноязычной коммуникативной компетенции экзаменуемого. Основное внимание при этом уделяется речевой компетенции, т.е. коммуникативным умениям в разных видах речевой деятельности: аудировании, чтении, письме, а также языковой компетенции, т.е. языковым знаниям и навыкам. Социокультурные знания и умения проверяются опосредованно в разделах «Аудирование», «Чтение» и являются одним из объектов измерения в разделе «Письмо»; компенсаторные умения проверяются опосредованно в разделе «Письмо».
Соответственно, КИМ ЕГЭ по иностранным языкам включает разделы «Аудирование», «Чтение», «Грамматика и лексика» и «Письмо». При этом следует иметь в виду, что хотя разделы «Аудирование», «Чтение» и «Письмо» имеют в качестве объектов контроля умения в соответствующих видах речевой деятельности, эти умения обеспечиваются необходимым уровнем развития языковой компетенции экзаменуемых. Успешное выполнение заданий на контроль рецептивных видов речевой деятельности обеспечивается знанием лексических единиц, морфологических форм и синтаксических конструкций и навыками их узнавания/распознавания. Задания раздела «Письмо» требуют от экзаменуемого помимо этих знаний еще и навыки оперирования лексическими единицами и грамматическими структурами в коммуникативно-значимом контексте. Орфографические навыки являются объектом контроля в заданиях В4-В16 раздела «Грамматика и лексика», а также заданий С1-С2 раздела «Письмо».
4.  Структура экзаменационной работы
Экзаменационная работа включает разделы «Аудирование», «Чтение», «Грамматика и лексика» и «Письмо».
Для дифференциации экзаменуемых по уровням владения иностранным языком в пределах, сформулированных в Федеральном компоненте государственного стандарта общего образования по иностранным языкам, во все разделы включаются наряду с заданиями базового уровня задания более высоких уровней сложности.
Уровень сложности заданий определяется уровнями сложности языкового материала и проверяемых умений, а также типом задания.
В работу по иностранному языку включены задания с выбором ответа из 3 или 4 предложенных (28 заданий), 16 заданий открытого типа с кратким ответом, в том числе задания на установление соответствия, и 2 задания открытого типа с развернутым ответом.
Базовый, повышенный и высокий уровни сложности заданий ЕГЭ соотносятся с уровнями владения иностранными языками, определенными в документах Совета Европы, следующим образом:

  There is a growing tendency in Kenya to

  1) look for new farm land. 2) explore new hunting areas. 3)
  preserve native animal habitats.

  According to Ben, people living around the forest area

  1) try to domesticate some of the wild animals. 2) do their best
  to stop deforestation in the area. 3) could be in danger from wild
  animals.

  According to Ben, an excommunicated animal is

  1) an animal doomed to extinction. 2) an aggressive and
  uncontrollable animal. 3) an animal that needs peoples help.

  Ben claims that people living around the forest area make extra
  money

  1) catching and selling wild animals to the zoos. 2) travelling
  to other regions and doing odd jobs. 3) trading wooden
  products.

  The Green Belt Movement in Kenya aims at

  1) effective exploitation of natural forests. 2) replacing
  destroyed forests. 3) moving people out from the forest area.

  Difficult task 8. Digging for the past A. A group of university
  students from Brazil have been given the job of

  discovering and locating all the waterfalls in their country. It
  is not easy because very often the maps are not detailed. The
  students have to remain in water for long periods of time. Every
  day they cover a distance of 35 to 40 kilometers through the
  jungle, each carrying 40 kilos of equipment.

  B. For many years now, mail-order shopping has served the needs
  of a certain kind of customers. Everything they order from a
  catalogue is delivered to their door. Now, though, e-mail shopping
  on the Internet has opened up even more opportunities for this kind
  of shopping.

  C. Another generation of computer fans has arrived. They are
  neither spotty schoolchildren nor intellectual professors, but
  pensioners who are learning computing with much enthusiasm. It is
  particularly interesting for people suffering from arthritis as
  computers offer a way of writing nice clear letters. Now pensioners
  have discovered the Internet and at the moment they make up the
  fastest growing membership.

  D. Shopping centres are full of all kinds of stores. They are
  like small, self-contained towns where you can find everything you
  want. In a large centre, shoppers can find everything they need
  without having to go anywhere else. They can leave their cars in
  the shopping centre car park and buy everything in a covered
  complex, protected from the heat, cold or rain.

  E. Not many people know that, back in the fifties, computers
  were very big, and also very slow. They took up complete floors of
  a building, and were less powerful, and much slower than any of
  todays compact portable computers. At first, the data they had to
  process and record was fed in on punched-out paper; later magnetic
  tape was used, but both systems were completely inconvenient.

  F. Potholing is a dull name for a most interesting and
  adventurous sport. Deep underground, on the tracks of primitive men
  and strange animals who have adapted to life without light, finding
  unusual landscapes and underground lakes, the potholer lives an
  exciting adventure. You mustnt forget, though, that it can be quite
  dangerous. Without the proper equipment you can fall, get injured
  or lost.

  G. Substantial remains of an octagonal Roman bath house,
  probably reused as a Christian baptistry, have been uncovered
  during a student training excavation near Faversham in Kent. The
  central cold plunge pool was five metres across, and stood within a
  structure which also had underfloor heating and hot pools, probably
  originally under a domed roof.

  Before the Hubble Space Telescope was launched, scientists
  thought they knew the universe. They were wrong. The Hubble Space
  Telescope has changed many scientists view of the universe. The
  telescope is named after American astronomer Edwin Hubble, A
  _______________________. He established that many galaxies exist
  and developed the first system for their classifications. In many
  ways, Hubble is like any other telescope. It simply gathers light.
  It is roughly the size of a large school bus. What makes Hubble
  special is not what it is, B _______________________. Hubble was
  launched in 1990 from the Discovery space shuttle and it is about
  350 miles above our planet, C _______________________. It is far
  from the glare of city lights, it doesnt have to look through the
  air, D _______________________. And what a view it is! Hubble is so
  powerful it could spot a fly on the moon. Yet in an average orbit,
  it uses the same amount of energy as 28 100-watt light bulbs.
  Hubble pictures require no film. The telescope takes digital images
  E _______________________. Hubble has snapped photos of storms on
  Saturn and exploding stars. Hubble doesnt just focus on our solar
  system. It also peers into our galaxy and beyond. Many Hubble
  photos show the stars that make up the Milky Way galaxy. A galaxy
  is a city of stars. Hubble cannot take pictures of the sun or other
  very bright objects, because doing so could fry the telescopes
  instruments, but it can detect infrared and ultra violet light F
  _______________________. Some of the sights of our solar system
  that Hubble has glimpsed may even change the number of planets in
  it.

  1. which is above Earths atmosphere. 2. which are transmitted to

  The Slobs Holiday

  My husband and I went to Reno for our holiday last year. Isnt
  that place

  where people go to get a quickie divorce? asked my second son?
  Yes, I said, trying to look enigmatic and interesting. You are not
  getting divorced, are you? he asked bluntly. No, I said, we are
  going to an outdoor pursuit trade fair. The children sighed with
  relief and slouched away, muttering things like boring. I call them
  children, but they are all grown up. My eldest son has started to
  develop fine lines around his eyes fledgling crows feet. A terrible
  sight for any parent to see. Anyway, the piece isnt about children.
  Its about holidays.

  The first thing to be said about holidays is that anybody who
  can afford one should be grateful. The second thing is that
  planning holidays can be hard work. In our household it starts with
  somebody muttering, I suppose we ought to think about a holiday.
  This remark is usually made in July and is received glumly, as if
  the person making it has said I suppose we ought to think about the
  Bolivian balance of payment problems.

  Nothing much happens for a week and then the potential
  holiday-makers are rounded up and made to consult their diaries.
  Hospital appointments are taken into consideration, as are
  important things to do with work. But other highlights on the
  domestic calendar, such as the cats birthday, are swept aside and
  eventually two weeks are found. The next decision is the most
  painful: where?

  We travel abroad to work quite a lot but we return tired and
  weary, so the holiday we are planning is a slobs holiday: collapse
  on a sunbed, read a book until the sun goes down, stagger back to
  hotel room, shower, change into glad rags, eat well, wave good-bye
  to teenagers, have a last drink on hotel terrace, go to bed and
  then lie awake and wait for hotel waiters to bring the teenagers
  from the disco.

  I never want to be guided around another monument, as long as I
  live. I do not want to be told how many bricks it took to build it.
  I have a short attention span for such details. I do not want to
  attend a folk evening ever, ever again. The kind where men with
  their trousers tucked into their socks wave handkerchiefs in the
  direction of women wearing puff-sleeved blouses, long skirts and
  headscarves.

  I also want to live dangerously and get brown. I want my doughy
  English skin change from white sliced to wheat germ. I like the
  simple pleasure of removing my watch strap and gazing at the patch
  of virgin skin beneath.

  I dont want to make new friends on holidays or in general; I
  cant manage the ones I have at home. I do not want to mix with the
  locals and I have

• 2011 . , 11 .

  2011

  (2011 — 11 )

  no wish to go into their homes. I do not welcome tourists who
  come to Leicester into my home. Why should the poor locals in
  Holidayland be expected to? Its bad enough that we monopolize their
  beaches, clog their pavements and spend an hour in a shop choosing
  a sunhat that costs the equivalent of 75 pence.

  So, the slobs holiday has several essential requirements: a
  hotel on a sunny beach, good food, a warm sea, nightlife for the
  teenagers, a big crowd to get lost in, and the absence of
  mosquitoes.

  As I write, we are at the planning stage. We have looked through
  all the holiday brochures, but they are full of references to
  hospitable locals, folk nights, deserted beaches, and interesting
  historical sights. Not our cup of tea, or glass of sangria, at
  all.

  The parents choice of holiday destination made the narrators
  children feel

  1) jealous. 2) excited. 3) alarmed. 4) indifferent.

  The narrators words A terrible sight for any parent to see refer
  to

  1) the way children behave. 2) the fact that children are aging.
  3) the way children change their image. 4) the fact there is a
  generation gap.

  When the need for holiday planning is first announced in the
  narrator family, it

  1) is regarded as an important political issue. 2) is met with
  enthusiasm by all the family. 3) seems like an impossible task. 4)
  is openly ignored.

  To find a two-week slot for a holiday potential holiday-makers
  have to

  1) negotiate the optimum period for travel. 2) cancel prior
  business appointments. 3) re-schedule individual summer plans. 4)
  make a list of the things to be taken into account.

  The slobs holiday is the type of holiday for people, who

  1) do not want to go on holiday abroad. 2) go on holiday with
  teenagers. 3) do not like public life. 4) prefer peaceful relaxing
  holidays.

  When the narrator says I also want to live dangerously, she
  means

  1) getting lost in the crowd. 2) going sightseeing without a
  guide. 3) choosing herself the parties to go to. 4) lying long
  hours in the sun on the beach.

  The main reason the narrator doesnt want to mix up with locals
  is because she

  1) doesnt let tourists to her house at Leicester. 2) doesnt want
  to add to their inconveniencies. 3) is afraid to make friends with
  local people. 4) values her own privacy above all.

  Tracy was as excited as a child about her first trip abroad.
  Early in the morning, she stopped at a A22 ______ agency and
  reserved a suite on the Signal Deck of the Queen Elizabeth II. The
  next three days she spent buying clothes and luggage.

  On the morning of the sailing, Tracy hired a limousine to drive
  her to the pier. When she A23 ______ at Pier 90, where the Queen
  Elizabeth II was docked, it was crowded with photographers and
  television reporters, and for a moment Tracy was panic stricken.
  Then she realized they were interviewing the two men posturing at

  passengers with their luggage. On deck, a steward looked at Tracys
  ticket and A24 ______ her to her stateroom. It was a lovely suite
  with a private terrace. It had been ridiculously expensive but
  Tracy A25 ______ it was worth it.

  She unpacked and then wandered along the corridor. In almost

  champagne and conversation. She felt a sudden ache of loneliness.
  There was no one to see her A26 ______, no one for her to care

  1 . , , . . 1 6 . 16 , AG. , , . . . . 20 , . Now we are ready
  to start. Speaker 1 I love reading. I read detective and spy
  stories, novels, and romantic and fantasy stories. If Im stuck on a
  train or waiting for something and dont have anything to read, I
  feel terrible. So something that I spend a lot of money on would
  probably be books. I always buy a lot of books, magazines and
  readers digests. And I keep all of them at home my mum says its
  horrible. Also lots of my money goes on audio books. I always share
  them with friends. Em its kind of an exchange. Speaker 2 Oh, you
  know, shiny things really attract me. Every time I have some extra
  money, I buy bracelets, rings, earrings or necklaces. I wear them
  everywhere and every day. If Im shopping somewhere and there is
  something flashy shining at me, I usually stop and look and very
  often a salesperson can talk me into buying it. Its crazy I know. I
  also love buying books but I dont spend so much on them. Speaker 3
  Ah, I spend money mostly on um going out, like going to restaurants
  or clubs, and things like that. I am a party person, I love hanging
  out with friends. I dont actually buy a lot of things, like
  electronics, books or CDs. I just spend money on going out with my
  friends, on food and drinks for parties. I really love chatting,
  dancing and making jokes.

  Speaker 4 Something I probably spend too much on is clothes. I
  guess because I am a girl, I think of shopping as a fun pastime and
  I find it relaxing. Actually I call it shopping therapy to go and
  buy some new clothes. I often go alone I dont need anyone to advise
  me. Id say I love the process of choosing and buying things. It
  really makes me feel good. Speaker 5 If I had the money I wanted, I
  would like to go and spend two weeks at every famous place on
  Earth. I love traveling in comfort. Nowadays its very expensive. I
  read travel magazines and surf the Internet for information about
  different tours, hotels and sights and now I know how I want to
  travel. Thats what Id spend my money on if I could. Speaker 6 I
  usually dont spend that much money on anything like jewellery or
  clothes. But then if there is one big expense, it is food. I like
  desserts, especially ice cream, so when I go out for dinner I
  definitely have a dessert afterwards. I cant live without cakes,
  candies, chocolates and things like that. Who can? You have 15
  seconds to complete the task. (Pause 15 seconds.) Now you will hear
  the texts again. (Repeat.) This is the end of the task. You now
  have 15 seconds to check your answers. (Pause 15 seconds.)

  skills, let’s say, for his or her job, or to study intensively to

  Caller: Okay. I’m calling for a friend who is interested in
  attending a US university. Can my friend apply for the next
  semester? Receptionist: Well, we start in March and always ask
  applicants to apply no later than two months before the semester
  begins. Caller: Alright. What is the tuition fee for a full-time
  student? Receptionist: It’s two thousand and thirty dollars.
  Caller: And how does one apply? Receptionist: Well, we can send you
  an application and you can mail it back to us, or you can fill out
  the application form that’s on our website. Caller: And are there
  other materials I would need to send in addition to the application
  form? Receptionist: Uh, yes. You would need to send in a
  sponsorship form indicating who will be responsible financially for
  the student while studying in our program, and a bank statement
  showing that you or your sponsor has enough money to cover tuition
  expenses and living costs. Caller: And how can I send these
  materials to you? Receptionist: You can either send the application
  packet by regular mail or you can fax it. Caller: Alright. I think
  that’s about it. Receptionist: Okay great. Caller: Oh and what is
  your name? Receptionist: Ok. My name is Tony Nelson. You can just
  call and ask for me. Caller: Great. Thank you for your help.
  Receptionist: No problem and please don’t hesitate to call again if
  you have any other questions. Caller: Okay. Goodbye.

  Int: Today in the studio we are talking to Ben Zephani, an
  activist and member of the environmental group the Green Belt
  Movement in Kenya. Welcome Ben. Ben: Thank you. Int: Well, you
  know, people nowadays talk a lot about environmental issues. There
  is great concern about wildlife and the future of the National
  Parks in Kenya. Whats happening there?

  Ben: One of the most serious environmental problems we are
  facing today is deforestation, which really affects both wildlife
  and people living around the forests. People need land for their
  own purposes, like growing crops and raising cattle. So they come,
  seize pieces of land, cut down trees and start cultivating the
  land. So many animals were, kind of, forced away. They had to leave
  their native habitats and find new hunting areas Thats not really a
  nice thing. Int: And whats happening to the people who actually
  live around the forest area? Ben: You know when you tend to
  interfere in a wild animals habitat you somehow create an imbalance
  between people and animals. And sometimes its not really a nice
  thing because animals tend to come close to where people live,
  which is really threatening. Int: So, do they attack people? Ben:
  Not that they really attack settlements but they do come in packs,
  groups, prides or herds constantly migrating from one place to
  another because of deforestation. So people are vulnerable at any
  time. Int: You mean, if I lived there, I could be chased by an
  angry rhinoceros or an elephant? Ben: No, actually they dont chase
  people because most of the time they just pass by. But at times you
  come into contact with an unusual animal. You know animals live in
  packs, so when one animal is rejected from its pack, its an angry
  animal. It cannot join the other packs so it attacks anything and
  is extremely dangerous. It should not be disturbed. People can do
  nothing to help it. Anyone who dares to approach it is almost
  certainly doomed. Int: Wow! Sounds horrible! I suppose no one would
  dare to try to catch these wild animals … Well, but what actually
  causes deforestation? Ben: People burn wood to produce charcoal and
  sell it, because, as you know, people there have very poor living
  conditions, and they try hard to earn an extra dime to support
  their families. Charcoal is in great demand for cooking and other
  odd jobs, so people dont even have to travel anywhere to sell it.
  Its a good job. But its so destructive. Int: So whats being done to
  try and remedy this, or to try and counterbalance the effect? Ben:
  There are three or four large activist groups that are coming
  together to discuss how to reduce damage to the environment. You
  all know the Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai who is a leader of
  the Green Belt Movement in Kenya. Shes been trying to discourage
  people from destroying forests for a long time and to explain what
  deforestation does to the country and the environment in general
  and how it affects people in the forest areas. She teaches people
  to adjust to new conditions and environments. She moves with the
  times. Wangari supports National parks, conservation areas and
  safari parks in the country. She helps organize small businesses to
  learn to earn from ecotourism in the forest areas.

  Int: Look, Ive always wanted to go to Africa and Im just
  wondering, if that whole safari business … is really good; if
  everything you see on the BBC Wildlife channel, you know,
  documentaries, is true to life. Ben: Its not a clich, but its
  something you have to experience when you get there on safari. The
  BBC has never lied to their viewers. Int: Wow! So I could be just
  out there … driving around in my car and on my own just seeing
  all those animals? Ben: I am afraid they wont let you drive in your
  own car. They provide services for you. We have in Kenya an
  institute called the KWS: the Kenya Wildlife Service and it has its
  own wardens that are highly trained to protect you when youre in
  the forest. You just say where and when you want to go, what places
  and animals you would like to see. Tours are kind of regulated. For
  example, you will never be allowed to come close to feeding the
  animals. Int: All right. You have 15 seconds to complete the task.
  (Pause 15 seconds.) Now you will hear the text again. (Repeat.)
  This is the end of the task. You now have 15 seconds to check your
  answers. (Pause 15 seconds.) This is the end of the Listening test.
