Daniel and Diana ЕГЭ: детальный разбор и ответы

В тексте «Daniel and Diana» c сайта ФИПИ используется старая нумерация A22-A28. При разборе мы заменили ее на новую A32-A38.

А32. Про данную идиому мы уже не раз писали. Она встречается почти в каждом тесте: love at first sight.

Then Daniel met Rachel, who had arrived a year after them, and fell in love with her at first A32 ______.

Ответ:

• view
• glimpse
• sight
• look

А еще больше идиом c этими словами, а также пояснения, в чем же разница между view, look, glimpse, sight вы найдете здесь. А для тех, кто хочет потренироваться в их использовании, предлагаем тест.

Ответ: sight

А33. Перейдем к следующему заданию, посвященному фразовым глаголам. Давайте подберем послелог для глагола look. Для этого переведем предложение с пропуском.

In Rachel he found everything he was looking A33 ______ in a wife.

Ответ:

• at
• for
• after
• into

In Rachel he found everything he was looking A33 ______ in a wife. — В Рейчел он нашел все, что смотрел на/искал/ухаживал/заглянул в жене.

look at* — смотреть на
look for — искать
look after — ухаживать, присматривать
look into — заглядывать в

*не является фразовым. Это глагол с предложным управлением.

По переводу подходит after.

Ответ: after

А34. Приступим к следующему заданию. Сначала посмотрим на структуру предложения.

Daniel and Rachel had been married for twelve years; they A24 ______ ever quarelled. 

Ответ:

• merely
• nearly
• closely
• hardly

После пропуска стоит ever. Это слово сочетается только c hardly: hardly ever – почти никогда.

Давайте разберем остальные слова:
merely — просто
nearly — около, приблизительно, почти что
closely — вплотную, близко

Ответ: hardly

А35. Подобное задание на разницу между many, little, few, much мы уже разбирали в предыдущих тестовых заданиях, поэтому сразу дадим ответ: few.

Three children followed in quick succession, and Diana was proud when she was asked to be godmother to Sophie, the eldest. A35 ______ married couples were so happy.

Ответ:

• Many
• Little
• Few
• Much

Few сочетается с исчисляемыми существительными во множественном числе в отличие от little и much, которые стоят рядом с неисчисляемыми существительными.

Ответ: few

A36. Перейдем к следующему заданию. В нем предстоит подобрать слово-связку. При его выборе в первую очередь обращайте внимание на пунктуацию, так как это помогает исключить неподходящие варианты. Посмотрим на предложение.

A36______ Diane was regularly asked to spend the weekend with them in the country, she only accepted one invitation out of three.

Ответ:

• Therefore
• Although
• Nevertheless
• However

Судя по структуре нужен союз. Кроме того, после пропуска нет запятой. Это значит, что вводные слова отпадают, так как после них всегда ставится запятая. Исключаем therefore, nevertheless, however. Остается although.

Еще больше о линкерах узнаете здесь (linking words: 1 тип, 2 тип (1 часть, 2 часть, 3 часть), 3 тип). А если хотите попрактиковаться в их использовании, то пройдите тест.

Ответ: although

А37. Проанализируем имеющиеся варианты, не забыв предварительно посмотреть на слово после пропуска. Там стоит беспредложное дополнение her work.

She A37 ______ her work, but it had been an awful week.

Ответ:

• enjoyed
• pleased
• admired
• approved

Начнем с approve/approved — «одобрять». Этот глагол имеет предложное управление of, которое мы не видим после пропуска. Следовательно, исключаем данный вариант.

Согласно словарю Cambridge admire означает: to find someone or something attractive and pleasant to look at. К данному контексту не подходит. Остается enjoyed. Он и будет правильным вариантом ответа.

Ответ: enjoyed

A38. Про данную цепочку мы подробно писали в предыдущем разборе задание А38. А если вы хотите знать о say, tell, speak, talk во всех подробностях, тогда читайте нашу статью. Не хватает практики? Пройдите наш тест на эту тему.

Two contracts had fallen through, her son had been dropped from the school soccer team, and her daughter had never stopped A38 ______ her that her father didn’t mind her watching television when she ought to be doing her homework.

Ответ:
saying
speaking
telling
talking

Ответ: telling

The ceremony turned 33 _______ to be a double delight, because I was able to witness my old tutor, Professor Bradford, receive his award for the role he had played in the field of breaking German military codes 34 _______ the war.

How to become a good leader

Being a good leader takes work. It is not hard at all to 32 ______ the difference between a good and a bad boss. Exceptional leaders – those who are respected and 33 ______ by their team – have a lot of secret skills that they put to use every day.

The dream bridge

This is a real life story of engineer John Roebling building the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, USA back in 1870. The bridge was completed in 1883, after 13 years. In 1869, a creative engineer named John Roebling was 32 ______ by an idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. 33 ______, bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible task. They 34 ______ Roebling to forget the idea, as it just could not be done and it was not practical. It had never been done before.

Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. He thought about it all the time and he knew 35 ______ in his heart that it could be done. He just had to 36 ______ the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he 37 ______ to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be constructed.

Roeblling had never had any projects with his son before. Working together 38 ______ the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be overcome. With great excitement and enthusiasm, and the headiness of a wild challenge before them, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
