2009年NMET阅读理解试题内容效度分析

An Analysis on Content Validity of NMET's Reading Comprehension in 2009

文章依据高中英语教学大纲、课程标准和考试大纲,结合Bachman&Palmer(1996)的任务特征框架,从语篇输入、预期回答和题项设计三个方面对2009年高考英语全国卷与各省市自主命题卷(NMET)(19套)阅读理解试题的内容效度进行分析。其结果表明,2009年NMET阅读理解试题总体符合两纲要求,并呈现体裁多样,覆盖面广,但篇章分布不均衡;文章题材涉及范围广,其中社会与文化类所占比例最大,其次是科普;阅读量多数符合大纲要求,但个别卷篇阅读量与大纲要求相比偏高或偏低;生词量符合大纲要求;篇章难度以中等题为主,但有些篇章选择缺乏梯度;考查技能全面,但集中于对理解文章具体信息的考查;题项设计合理,但还存在一些问题等特征。据此作者尝试为今后NMET阅读理解试题命制的改进提出意见与建议。
