Test tasks for younger students based on a single text | Test (Grade 4):
Test tasks for junior schoolchildren
based on a single text
Explanatory note
General characteristics
the world.
Particular attention is paid to the examination of students' ability to work with an unfamiliar text, which has a naturally scientific character. The choice of text is determined by the accessibility of the content for them.
Unified control work presented in test form. For each test task, 2-4 answer options are given, of which only one is correct. When completing these tasks, the student must indicate the number of the correct answer in the text. All tasks are equal in difficulty.
Procedure
The performance of the control work by students is calculated for 2-3 academic hours. It is necessary to provide each student with a test and a draft. Pupils begin work by completing the task of literary reading. Its purpose is to test the ability of students to work with an unfamiliar text, extracting the necessary information from it. The subsequent order of choosing subjects can be arbitrary.
Evaluation of results
The performance of test tasks is evaluated on a scale with categories: “true” and “false”.
For the performance of the work, two marks are given: a test score and a certification mark.
The test score is set on the basis of the primary scores received for completing each of the tasks. A correct answer is worth 1 point, an incorrect answer is 0 points. The sum of points received for completing all tasks in a given academic subject is a test score.
The attestation mark for the assimilation of each academic subject is set on a five-point scale in accordance with the test score.
Test
After completing the task, compare your answer with the proposed wording. If your answer matches one of them, put an "x" in the box to the right.
Skip the task that cannot be completed immediately and move on to the next one. You can return to the missed tasks if you have time.
We wish you success!
Polar bear
Who hasn't seen a polar bear? In zoos, he is an ordinary guest. There is no need to describe what it looks like. We only recall that he only has a black nose, the bear itself is white both in winter and in summer (and not like, say, an arctic fox or a hare - whites are only white in winter).
The soles of the paws of the polar bear are overgrown with thick hair, and the fingers are connected by swimming membranes for about half of their length.
Polar bears swim and dive very well. They can stay under water for two minutes, but they rarely dive deeper than two meters into it. Far in the open sea, polar bears have been seen more than once, even she-bears with cubs. They swim at a speed of 5 kilometers per hour, not worrying that neither land nor ice is visible anywhere near.
The polar bear catches seals not only on the ice, stealthily crawling up to them. His usual method, so to speak, of an attack from the sea is as follows: near the seal rookeries, the bear carefully, without splashing and noise, slides into the water, swims to where he noticed the seals. Then he silently dives and emerges already at the very haulout, quickly climbs onto the ice, thereby cutting off the seals' path to rescue water. On steep ice walls, a bear can jump straight out of the water onto an ice floe, even if its height above the water is two meters.
Seals are the main hunting prey of the polar bear in spring. It catches and eats about 50 seals a year. In summer, the menu is more varied. He catches fish in shallow water, on the shore - lemmings, arctic foxes, feasts on bird eggs. When hungry, eats berries, algae, mosses, lichens, mushrooms.
The polar bear is the most powerful land animal of prey. The lion and the tiger are lightweight in comparison: the average weight of female bears is 310 kilograms, and that of male bears is 420 kilograms. If the bear is seasoned and well-fed, then it can weigh a whole ton!

Task for students: name, mark in the test the author of the work whose passage was read. V. TEST FOR LEARNING THE MEANINGS OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS (T.F.). Reading comprehension of phraseological units is indicator of the level of proficiency in the native language. Phraseological units make up the national richness of language, precisely, aptly and very figuratively describe all aspects of the environment reality. There are combinations of words in Russian that cannot be broken, they have one integral meaning. For example, we must say that we got up early. For this we use the expression "A LITTLE LIGHT". Such an expression is called phraseological unit. Phraseological units cannot be composed by yourself, they need to be remembered. The more you know them the more accurately and colorfully you will be able to express your thought. Most phraseological units are used in figurative meaning. So, in ancient Rus' the combination of the words “BEAT BAKLUSHI” meant breaking a piece of wood into small pieces buckets, from which they later made spoons, because. do very simple, easy work. At present time the expression “BEAT THE FUCK” is idle to pass the time, to be idle. Words on the board:
The more the student knows phraseological units, the more accurately and figuratively he will be able to express his thought. These tests have been tested on students my classes. Based on the received data students' knowledge was corrected. This work with tests made it possible to provide timely assistance to children in mastering literary concepts when working with literary texts. Thus, along with the previously known methods, I, if possible, diversified the work students over text and word in reading lessons.
