Hamilton was one of those unfortunate men who inherited immense wealth but not a lot more. He was able to convince us that he had little time to read and no time to attend the theatre or opera. Actually, he was not 33 ____ in anything but himself. 34 ____, this did not prevent him from holding opinions on every subject from Shaw to Pavarotti, from Gorbachev to Picasso.

The other dinner guest that night was Freddie Barker, the President of the Wine Society, who sat opposite my wife. Unlike Hamilton, he 35 ____ uttered a word. Henry had assured me over the phone that Barker was considered to be a leading authority on his subject and he had 36 ____ to
get the Society back on to a proper financial footing.

A. In rural Irish communities of the early 1800s, weather forecasting was anything but a precise science. There were people who predicted and explained turns in the weather through the prism of superstition. One particular storm in 1839 was so peculiar that rural folk in the west of Ireland, stunned by its ferocity, feared it could be the end of the world. Some blamed it on the “fairies” from local tales.

B. The eruption of the volcano at Krakatoa in the Pacific Ocean was a major disaster by any measure. In 1883, the entire island of Krakatoa was simply blown apart, and the resulting tsunami killed tens of thousands of people on other islands. The volcanic dust thrown into the atmosphere affected the weather around the world, and people as far away as Britain and the United States saw red sunsets caused by particles in the atmosphere.

C. The dust from Mount Tambora, which had erupted in early April 1815 in the Indian Ocean, shrouded the globe. And with sunlight blocked, 1816 did not have a normal summer. The weather in Europe and North America took a bizarre turn that resulted in crop failures and even famine. Spring came but then everything seemed to turn backward, as cold temperatures returned.

D. Wireless telegraphy originated as a term to describe electrical signaling without the electric wires to connect the end points. It was different from the conventional electric telegraph signaling. The term was initially applied to a variety of competing technologies to communicate messages encoded as symbols, without wires, around the turn of the 20th century, but radio emerged as the most significant.

E. By the time Abraham Lincoln became president, the telegraph had become an accepted part of American life. Lincoln’s first State of the Union message was transmitted over the telegraph wires in 1861. During the Civil War, Lincoln spent many hours in the telegraph room of the War Department building near the White House. The president would generally write his messages in longhand, and telegraph operators would relay them, in military cipher, to the front.

F. One of the truly tragic events in American history is the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Just as the Civil War was coming to an end, on April 14, 1865, the president had sought a night of relaxation at Ford’s Theatre, a short carriage drive from the White House. As Lincoln watched the play, John Wilkes Booth, an actor, shot the president and fled.

G. It is probably impossible to overestimate Queen Victoria’s importance to the British history of the 1800s. She took an active involvement in the affairs of state and strongly believed that Britain should rule much of the world as an empire. Indicating her role as an imperial leader, her official title as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland was changed in the late 1870s to also include the title Empress of India.

Robb Wilier: gossip is good for you

Robb Wilier is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. He recently co-authored a paper called The Virtues of Gossip: Reputational Information Sharing as Prosocial Behaviour, which was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. His research has proved that some kinds of gossip are altruistic and beneficial to society. No matter how fundamental his research is, many people find it difficult to accept such an opinion.

Research has been going on for several years about the ways in which fears for reputation encourage people to behave. This led to get interested in gossip because gossip involves spreading reputational information about people in groups. More specifically, the authors were interested in an apparent tension between the bad reputation gossiping and gossipers have, but how there’s a lot of ways gossip has useful social functions.

In the first study, they attached participants to heart-rate monitors and monitored their emotional reactions to events they observed in the lab. One thing they observed was people doing economic exercises based on trust. The researchers arranged so they would observe someone behaving in an untrustworthy way repeatedly; then the participants would have a chance to warn someone else they thought would have to interact with that person next.

People very readily warned the next person, passing on socially useful information to them. But what was more interesting was the emotional register of the behaviour. As people saw a person behave in an untrustworthy way, they became frustrated and their heart rate increased. But when they had the opportunity to pass a warning on, that reduced or eliminated their frustration and also tempered their increased heart rate.

It is “prosocial” gossip that involves warning other people about untrustworthy others. It is pretty common. Generous people are more likely to engage in it and they report doing so out of a need to help others. It is very different from malicious gossip, which might be driven by a desire to spoil another’s reputation or advance oneself.

So why does gossip have such a bad reputation? This research has just sharpened that question. Why would it be that gossip, which we need to function socially in order to keep people behaving a bit better than they might otherwise, has a negative reputation? It could be that we don’t need gossip to have a positive reputation for people to do it. Even the people who pass judgment on gossipers are gossiping as they do so. It may be that socially we’re wired to gossip. Evolutionary theorists have argued that language evolved in part to facilitate gossip, so we’ve developed these social norms against excessive or malicious gossip to keep the system from getting out of hand. News in a lot of ways is dignified gossip. A broad definition of gossip would include the news. I wonder how many journalists would agree with or share such interpretation of news and their role in a society?

It’s very important that we discriminate between different kinds of gossip and the people who do it. The kind where you warn people about untrustworthy others is valid, so we shouldn’t feel bad about that.

12. Which of the following statements does NOT refer to the content of paragraph 2?

1) Gossipers have a bad reputation.

2) Society may benefit from gossip.

3) Gossip can ruin one’s reputation.

4) People in groups favour gossip.

1) relaxed.

2) frustrated.

3) excited.

4) more confident.

15. “It” in ‘people are more likely to engage in it’ (paragraph 5) refers to …

1) socially useful gossip.

2) malicious rumours.

3) a person’s reputation.

Ответ: [ ]

16. In what way did the research refer to the reason for gossip’s bad reputation?

2) It connected it to people’s behaviour.

Hamilton

How much do you really know about the man on the ten-dollar bill? You might know that his name was Alexander Hamilton, that he was one of America’s founding fathers, you might even know that he was the first Secretary of the Treasury and founded America’s financial system. But what do you know about his life, his story?

In February of 2015 a musical premiered in New York’s Public Theatre by the name of “Hamilton” written by Lin Manuel Miranda. It was met with universal acclaim and in August of the same year transferred to Broadway. Since then the show has exploded in popularity, winning many awards including 11 Tony Awards, a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album and a Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

“Hamilton” tells the story of Alexander Hamilton, a “young, scrappy and hungry” orphan from a tiny island in the Caribbean, who at the age of 17 immigrated to America, fought alongside George Washington in the Revolution, worked for the new American government and wrote over a thousand pages in letters, essays, speeches and reports. Through Lin Manuel Miranda’s emotional narrative, we get a closer and more personal look at Hamilton’s life and his death.

The idea for “Hamilton” was born in 2009, when, while on vacation, Lin Manuel Miranda picked up a 700-page biography of Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chemow. After reading only a few chapters Miranda was on the Internet, sure that someone had already made Hamilton’s story into a musical. As it turned out, no one had, and so Miranda began his project. A year later Miranda preformed a rough version of the opening number at the White House.

Due to its revolutionary use of different styles of music, critics claim that “Hamilton” is making musical history. Hamilton’s story is told primarily through hip-hop music, but also includes some elements of pop, soul, blues and traditional show tunes. In interviews Miranda says that he had always taken it as a given that hip-hop is the music of the revolution. Because of its energy, its empowering narrative, it seemed like the perfect pick for “Hamilton”.

But Lin Manuel Miranda took the idea of using music as a plot device to a whole new level. Each character has their own music style. King George III, for example, has a distinctly British pop sound, the Schuyler sisters sound a lot like the popular R’n’B group “Destiny’s Child”, and Hamilton’s lifelong rival Aaron Burr sings a few classic “showstoppers”.

In March of 2016 Lin Manuel Miranda was interviewed by British actress Emma Watson who played the role of Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films. Miranda confessed that a lot of the structure of the play was inspired by Harry Potter, and the “Hamilton” cast was sorted into their Hogwarts houses. Lin and Emma discussed the importance of the play in current times and how Miranda’s personal history influenced his writing. Lin Manuel also shared a few interesting stories behind the creation of some of the beloved songs.

In less than 2 years, “Hamilton” has become a cultural phenomenon. Not only did it introduce many teenagers to the world of theatre, it also gave the world a history lesson. The show humanizes the founding fathers, shows us that they were actual people with emotions and personal relationships. But the show did more than just touch the hearts of thousands of its listeners, it actually made an impact. In 2015 the US Department of the Treasury announced that they were redesigning the 10-dollar bill, replacing Hamilton, but thanks to the show’s popularity the plans were reversed.

ВОПРОС 1. Which choice is the closest in meaning to the phrase ‘it was met with universal acclaim’ in the second paragraph?
1) It toured all over the world.
2) It was admired by everybody.
3) All theatres wanted to stage it.
4) Tickets were immediately sold out.

ВОПРОС 2. In the third paragraph the author of the article uses the following quotation from the musical: “young, scrappy and hungry” – in order to show
1) the reason why Hamilton immigrated to America at the age of 17.
2) that when his parents died, Hamilton had nothing to live on.
3) how much Hamilton managed to achieve during his lifetime.
4) that people who lived on islands in the Caribbean were poor.

ВОПРОС 3. L.M. Miranda turned to the Internet after having read only a few chapters of Hamilton’s biography by Ron Chemow because
1) he thought that Hamilton’s life story was perfect for a musical.
2) he found Hamilton’s biography by Ron Chemow boring.
3) the book did not have enough information about Hamilton.
4) he wanted to find more information about Ron Chemow.

ВОПРОС 4. By saying that’Hamilton is making musical history’ the author means that
1) something new and unusual is used in this musical.
2) this musical is about American history.
3) there are old music styles used in this musical.
4) this musical can help study history of music.

1) Hamilton tells us the history of the American Revolution.
2) Hip-hop takes its roots from the American Revolution.
3) Out of all musical styles hip-hop fits Hamilton best.
4) There is a mixture of different musical styles in Hamilton.

ВОПРОС 6. What can be concluded from paragraph seven?
1) Some actors from Hamilton also played in the Harry Potter films.
2) Lin Manuel Miranda took part in the creation of the Harry Potter films.
3) E. Watson and L. M. Miranda will work together on a new project.
4) Hamilton and the Harry Potter films have something in common.

ВОПРОС 7. According to the article, the US Department of Treasury are planning to
1) take the $10 bill completely out of circulation.
2) keep the design of the $10 bill the way it is now.
3) choose a portrait of a new historic figure for the $10 bill.

Alexander ЕГЭ ответы и разбор

В тексте «Alexander», который представлен на сайте ФИПИ, используется старая нумерация A22-A28, как вы можете видеть на изображении. При разборе мы заменили ее на новую A32-A38.

A32. В данном задании проверяется знание разницы между many, much, little, few.

Sir Alexander Heathcote was an exact man. A32 ______ people were like him.

Ответ:

• Many
• Little
• Few
• Much

При выборе между ними надо обязательно посмотреть на слово идущее после них. В данном тексте это people — исчисляемое существительное во множественном числе, значит исключаем little и much, которые сочетаются только с неисчисляемыми существительными.

Далее необходимо перевести предыдущее предложение, чтобы понять, что подойдет.

Sir Alexander Heathcote was an exact man. A32 ______ people were like him. — Сэр Александр Хиткот был человеком строгих правил. Немногие люди (мало кто был похож) были похожи на него.

По смыслу подходит few.

Ответ: few

A33. Переходим к следующему заданию.

He used to take a carriage from his home in Cadogan Gardens at exactly 8:20 and A33 ______ at the Foreign Office at promptly 8:59, returning home again on the stroke of six o’clock.

Ответ:

• reach
• arrive
• come
• enter

Когда нужно, как в данном случае подобрать глагол, всегда смотрите на слово после пропуска, так как там может стоять предложное управление или послелог, которые помогут выбрать правильный вариант, даже не переводя само предложение. После пропуска стоит at. Только у одного из представленных глаголов есть такое предложное управление: это arrive. Он и будет правильным ответом.

Узнать больше о разнице между этими глаголами можно, пройдя по ссылке, а если хотите потренироваться в их использовании, то выполните тест.

Ответ: arrive

• fulfilled
• achieved
• managed
• succeeded

Пользуемся тем же принципом, что и в задании А33. Смотрим на слово, а вернее предлог после пропуска. Там мы видим in. Такое предложное управление есть только у глагола succeed.

В чем разница между fulfill, achieve, manage, achieve — читайте в нашей статье. А вот здесь вы найдете тест, чтобы попрактиковаться в их использовании.

Ответ: succeeded

А35. Перейдем к следующему заданию. Смотрим как обычно на слово после пропуска и видим the opportunity. Это существительное сочетается с глаголом offer: offer an opportunity – дать возможность.

He was delighted when Mr. Gladstone A35______ the opportunity to represent the government in China.

Ответ

• proposed
• approached
• offered
• suggested

Хотите узнать о разнице между offer, propose, suggest, approach, читайте нашу статью. Вы также можете потренироваться в их использовании, выполнив тест.

Ответ: offered

А36. В данном задании предстоит подобрать прилагательное. Зачастую у них есть предложное управление, поэтому стоит начать со слова после пропуска, чтобы можно было исключить неподходящие варианты.

For some time he had been A36 ______ in the art of the Ming dynasty.

Ответ:

• involved
• interested
• fond
• keen

Там стоит in. Такое управление имеют involved и interested. Оставшиеся два прилагательных исключаем, так как у них другие управления: be fond of, be keen on.

Чтобы выбрать между involved и interested, переведем предложение.

be interested in — интересоваться
be involved in — быть вовлеченным в

For some time he had been A36 ______ in the art of the Ming dynasty. — Он интересовался/был вовлечен в искусством династии Мин недолго.

По смыслу подходит interested.

Ответ: interested

А37. Для начала посмотрим на предложение.

This appointment would present him a perfect chance of A37 ______ in their natural habitat some of the great statues, paintings and drawings he had previously been able to admire only in books.

Ответ:

• observing
• noticing
• remarking
• looking

Из имеющихся вариантов можно сразу исключить looking, так как имея значение «смотреть», у него должно быть предложное управление at. Поскольку после пропуска его нет, то этот вариант не подходит. Остались 3 глагола, выбирать между которыми будем по переводу.

This appointment would present him a perfect chance of observing/noticing/remarking in their natural habitat some of the great statues, paintings and drawings he had previously been able to admire only in books. — Этот визит предоставит ему прекрасную возможность наблюдать/замечать/высказываться о некоторые из великих статуй, картин и рисунков в их естественной среде.

По переводу подходит observing.

Ответ: observing

А38. В этом задании проверяется знание идиомы come to an end — заканчиваться. 

When he arrived in Beijing, Her Imperial Highness wished him a successful term of office in his appointment and then the audience A38 ______ to an end.

Ответ:

• got
• brought
• came
• went

Ответ: came
