Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'cloze' denotes the test format of removing words and 'procedure' denotes an ordered method, so 'cloze procedure' straightforwardly means a procedure that uses cloze tests. A B1 learner who knows both constituent meanings can therefore derive the MWE meaning without prior exposure.
Etymology
The noun cloze procedure comes from the short form cloze, which comes from the word 'closure', and it gives the image of a text with missing words. In a cloze procedure, readers or computer programs must 'fill in the blanks', so the method is used to test reading or to help train computers to understand language.
