ТЕСТЫ ДЛЯ ПОДГОТОВКИ К ЕГЭ по английскому языку Цель данного пособия заключается в том, что- бы помочь вам подготовиться к успешной сдаче единого государственного экзамена (ЕГЭ) по ан- глийскому языку. Сборник включает 15 тестов, каждый из ко- торых состоит из пяти разделов. Каждому тесту предшествует серия упражнений, ко- торые готовят к соответствующим разделам экзамена. Данные задания способствуют отра- ботке лексико-грамматического материала, раз- вивают отдельные умения и навыки, помогают выработать стратегию подготовки к экзамену. Мы настоятельно рекомендуем вам выполнить все эти упражнения до того, как вы приступите к выполнению тестовых заданий. Настоящий сборник тестов отражает содержа- ние и формат ЕГЭ 2015 года. Структура экзаменационной работы в формате единого государственного экзамена по английскому языку Экзаменационная работа по английскому языку состоит из двух частей: письменной и устной. Письменная часть включает четыре раздела: «Аудирование», «Чтение», «Грамматика и лек- сика» и «Письмо». Устная часть, в свою очередь, включает задание на чтение текста вслух и три задания по говорению. Время, отведённое на выполнение письменной части экзамена, составляет 180 минут (3 часа). Время устного ответа - 7 минут на каждого эк- заменуемого. Время подготовки к каждому из четырёх заданий - 1,5 минуты. Устная часть эк- замена проходит в компьютеризированной фор- ме без участия экзаменатора-собеседника. В экзаменационную работу по английскому язы- ку включены 38 заданий с кратким ответом и 6 за- даний открытого типа с развёрнутым ответом. В экзаменационной работе предложены следую- щие разновидности заданий с кратким ответом: • задания на выбор и запись одного или не- скольких правильных ответов из предло- женного перечня ответов; • задания на установление соответствия по- зиций, представленных в двух множествах; • задания на заполнение пропуска в связном тексте путём преобразования предложен- ной начальной формы слова в нужную грам- матическую форму; • задания на заполнение пропуска в связном тексте путём образования родственного слова от предложенного опорного слова. Задания открытого типа с развёрнутым ответом в письменной части - это задания по письмен- ной речи: личное письмо и развёрнутое пись- менное высказывание с элементами рассужде- ния «Моё мнение». Задания открытого типа с развёрнутым ответом устной части включают чтение текста вслух, условный диалог-расспрос (5 вопросов на основе рекламного объявления и ключевых слов), тематическое монологическое высказывание (описание фотографии - одной из трёх по выбору экзаменуемого) и тематиче- ское монологическое высказывание с элемента- ми рассуждения (сравнение двух предложенных фотографий).

Test 1 Раздел 2. Чтение Установите соответствие между текстами А-G и заголовками 1-8. Занесите свои ответы в таблицу. Используйте каждую цифру только один раз. В задании один заголовок лишний. 1. Mixing styles 2. Internet sensation 3. Short lifetime 4. Money worries 5. Celebrity style 6. Cheaper to buy 7. Rebels no more 8. Shopping frenzy A. Youth sub-culture isn’t what it used to be. In the 1960s, youths who were protesting against their parents or society dressed a certain way to show their anger, or to feel like they belonged to something. Nowadays, parents are more accepting of their children, and society is more accepting of different people. There is less of a need to act out, so there are fewer sub-cultures as a result. B. There are still a few youth sub-cultures these days. One phenomenon is haul girls - teenage girls who shop till they drop, then come home with a big ‘haul’, usually several bags of clothes. Then they make a video ol what they bought, and not just any old video, either. They put great effort into it, with editing and a storyline. It’s their way of showing off what they love to do. C. In the old days, it took quite a lot of cash to get the look you desired. If you wanted to be Goth, going out and buying black boots, black clothes and black jewellery would cost a considerable amount. It’s all become more affordable now, so you can belong to one youth sub-culture one week and another the next, more or less. D. There are fewer differences between youth sub-cultures than there used to be. In the old days, a hippie looked like a hippie. A punk looked like a punk, and nothing else. But it seems that the youth of today sometimes combines looks. One example is seapunk, which is punk but much more colourful and with a bit of hip-hop added. At least it’s still very creative! E. A youth sub-culture is defined by many things. It’s the need to stand out, or the need to protest, or the need to belong. These days, kids are quite worried about their future. University has become very expensive, and the job market isn’t as strong as it used to be. How can anyone focus on creating a unique style when they’re facing such deep financial concerns? F. Sometimes a youth sub-culture can come out of nowhere Take Molly Soda, for example. Molly Soda is a teenage girl who posted some short films on YouTube that quickly became highly popular. Her style of dress, with her blue hair and nose piercing, is now copied by thousands of girls who find it cool. They’re called Molly Soda girls, from a youth sub-culture born overnight! G. It is true that youth sub-cultures are like trends. They are born, they gain popularity, and then soon enough, everyone’s joined in. At that point, they are finished. This timeline used to be much longer than it is today. Now, with social media, trends spread much faster, which means they die a death much faster, too. A sub-culture is lucky if it lasts a whole year these days! A В C D E F G

Занесите цифры, обозначающие соответствующие части предложений, в таблицу. The Seven Sisters After the Second World War, officials in the Soviet Union embarked on a building frenzy to add a grand architectural style to Moscow’s skyline. As put by Joseph Stalin, the country’s leader who had led the nation during the war, the Soviet Union was victorious, A. The Seven Sisters are a collection of seven buildings that Stalin commissioned to be built between 1947 and 1953. His thinking was to have skyscrapers just like existed in Western cities such as New York and London. It was a matter of prestige for the Soviet nation, he felt, В. The idea for the first ever Moscow skyscraper had actually come before the Second World War. The building, the Palace of the Soviets, was never completed. Construction began in 1937, but the German invasion in 1941 halted work C. Each of the Seven Sisters has a large base of several floors, with the base size varying from one building to the next. The upper floors are much less wide than the base, D. The building designs are both elegant and imposing. The buildings served various purposes, which have not changed since their erection. Some are hotels, such as the Hotel Ukraina, E. When it opened in 1957, it was the worlds tallest hotel building. Other buildings house government ministries, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the Russian Federation. Strangely, the term ‘Seven Sisters’ is not used by Russians. Rather, they call the buildings ‘Stalinskie Vysotki’, or ‘Stalin’s skyscrapers’. The style was replicated in former USSR and Eastern Bloc countries F, places that were influenced by Stalinist architecture. 1. and the building materials were removed and used for military defence 2. with the focus on creating the greatest buildings known to man 3. and can be seen in Kiev, Warsaw and Bucharest 4. and it was one of his missions to make that a reality 5. yet its capital had nothing to show for it 6. with the top consisting of a tower which narrows to a point 7. which has since been renamed the Radisson Royal Hotel Ответ: A В C D E F
Прочитайте текст и выполните задания 12-18. В каждом задании запишите в поле ответа цифру 1, 2, 3 или 4, соответствующую выбранному Вами варианту ответа. Facebook addict I’ve been a user of Facebook for years, almost since its inception. I should correct myself, actually: I’ve been a user, abuser and loser of Facebook since King Mark Zuckerberg bestowed his charming gift upon the world. I call him a ‘king’ because he virtually rules over my life, and not in the typical way an actual king would, but in the way I have allowed myself to get sucked into the phenomenon. Let’s face it: the man has more influence over some people, me being one of them, than some parents have over their own children I’ve had my ups and downs with Facebook. I’ve gone from having thousands of friends I’d never met in real life, to deleting my account entirely and starting again from scratch, adding only real friends, as if that would make my experience more meaningful. But why would I need Facebook to add depth to my existence? I’ll tell you why ... it’s because Facebook makes you slightly famous. It’s like having your picture in the paper with a little news story about you, where you’ve been, what you’re doing, what you bought today. You’re surrounded by all the trappings of Western society in your status update photos and they’re right there for the whole, um, small network of your friends to see I know what you’re thinking ... I’m sad and hopeless, and you’ll never turn out like me. But how many of you reading this can honestly say you don’t do the same things? Maybe you do it to different degrees, and maybe you’re even worse. You just have to ask yourself... is there anything wrong with that? I freely admit that I take pleasure from posting amusing pictures of a night out with friends, or what my dog’s chewed up on my return from work, or the fantastic rearrangement 1 did of my living room There was a time when I thought ‘There must be something wrong with me. Surely I can find a better way to spend my time.’ Apparently I can’t, because I haven’t, so my conclusion is that I never will and I’m better oft' accepting it than trying to fight it. Allow me to present a solid case in favour of Facebook addiction ... isn’t it far better than watching TV for hours on end? Or what about playing video games? That’s much more harmful and pointless, in my opinion. At feast with Facebook, the things I do are seen by my peers, for better or worse, and my actions are not completely invisible and meaningless. At feast there’s a purpose, right? 1 suppose we find purpose where we want to find it. One could argue that a TV addiction helps keep you up-to-date with current events. And maybe a computer game sharpens your physical reflexes. I’ve decided that I’m a Facebook junkie because I’m a deeply social person. I like sharing opinions, photos, videos, and links to articles I enjoyed reading. And I’m not ashamed of it! OK, 1 admit, I might check my Facebook page 100 times a day too many. I might get just a little upset when no one clicks ‘like’ on any of the random postings I make every day. But I did get 70 ‘likes’ for the photo I posted of me with my cat in front of my chin, which made me look as if I had a beard. You have to admit, those sorts of pictures are hilarious, and if they make someone laugh, where s the harm in that?
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 The author refers to Mark Zuckerberg as a man who is ... 1) parental. 3) powerful. 2) generous. 4) ordinary. Ответ: What does the author think about being Facebook friends with people you don’t know? 1) It is rather meaningless. 2) It can give you cause to delete your account. 3) It adds meaning to your life. 4) It can stop you having friends in real life. Ответ: The expression ‘trappings of Western society’ in paragraph 4 means ... 1) things that hold us hostage. 3) the medias effect on people. 2) our habits or belongings. 4) a persons lonely existence. Ответ: What does the author think about other people’s relationship with Facebook? 1) Everyone is far worse. 3) It varies from person to person. 2) No one can be as bad. 4) Most people aren’t honest about it. Ответ: In paragraph 6, what does the ‘it’ refer to in both instances of‘I’m better off accepting it than trying to fight it’? 1) The things people think about the author. 2) The quality of things the author posts. 3) The lack of free time in the authors life. 4) The author s desire to use Facebook often. Ответ: What is the author’s rationale for using Facebook? 1) It is better than other mindless activities. 2) Everyone else the author knows is obsessed, too. 3) All the authors posts benefit the authors friends. 4) The author would be addicted to something else without it. The last paragraph demonstrates that the author ... 1) is not ashamed of anything he does on Facebook. 2) plans to spend less time on Facebook. 3) may have a slight problem with Facebook. 4) does not really enjoy Facebook.

You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it. One area of the world is particularly prone to earthquakes. The Ring of Fire, as it is known, circles the Pacific Ocean. It is where some of the largest earthquakes occur. The Ring of Fire affects countries in North and South America and in Asia. Because it is on the border of an ocean, large waves of water, or tsunamis, are often triggered by the quakes. It’s a double disaster. Homes are destroyed where the earthquake strikes. People living in coastal regions that receive the waves are harmed also. Although it is difficult to predict earthquakes, the large waves can be predicted. A warning system is in place in many countries along the Ring of Fire. This gives residents some time to evacuate. Unfortunately, though, the waves travel extremely fast. Whoever must leave the area only has a short amount of time. Task 2 Study the advertisement. You decided to attend the course and you would like to get more information.

Tastes from abroad 5. Trendy styles 2. Out of style 6. Dining out 3. Musical tastes 7. Exercise routine 4. Lifting weights 8. Musical exercise A. Forming a band, even if only as a hobby, can be good fun. Of course, it can go beyond that if you get really good. You can play at festivals, and if the crowd loves you, it’s an amazing experience. It’s even a great way to get a workout, especially if you’re playing the drums. It takes a lot of energy, and it can actually help you get fit. B. Rugby players need strength to push the other guys round the field. That’s why it’s essential for them to build muscle mass, and there’s only one way to do that. They’ve got to hit the gym and start pumping iron. It’s incredibly hard work and it’s not for everyone. They’ve also got to take it slowly, because it’s not a good idea to lift too much too soon. C. It’s important to try new things. In fact, it’s almost necessary, because we get bored with doing the same thing day in, day out. Luckily we live in a multicultural world. Take food, for example. No matter where you are, it seems that someone from far away has opened a restaurant featuring cuisine from their homeland. That’s something different for a change. D. In order to get in shape, you have to do more than just go to the gym once a month. You need to go at least three times a week. You must set up a schedule and stick to it. Even when you work forty hours a week, you have to arrange to head off after work for gym time. And you should exercise for a set amount of time with every visit. E. Eating at home has its benefits. It’s certainly nutritious - that is, if you’re cooking healthily. But eating in restaurants is such a great, social experience. It’s something we should do at least once a week. You can do a lot of people-watching in restaurants, too, so it’s great fun. Not to mention that you don’t have to cook, and if you want something, someone will fetch it! F. Some people don’t dress like other kids from their school because they simply don’t feel like keeping up with all the latest trends. Trends change every year anyway, if not more often. For some, second-hand shops are their favourite shopping experience. You can find all sorts of funky clothing there, and who cares if it’s something most people wouldn’t wear? G. The style of music we listen to says a lot about who we are. People who prefer classical music have refined tastes and an appreciation for the arts. Those who like heavy metal enjoy being energetic when they listen to music. Fans of pop music enjoy staying up-to-date with trends. And those who like old music like to imagine what life was like in a different era. Ответ: A В C D E F G

A new trend in temporary accommodation has gained popularity recently. Its appeal is rooted in peoples desire to find a smart place to stay A. Traditionally, the most common options were hotels, which came with many amenities, such as room service, daily room cleaning, and so forth. These days, hotels charge a hefty price for a nights stay. With so many people on a budget, there is a need В. The trend of renting out a property, whereby someone owns a home or apartment but has another residence as their primary home, began to rise in popularity just a few years back.

It is a positive experience for everyone; property owners make extra money and renters enjoy more space for less expense.

Surviving an avalanche Surviving an avalanche was not on Thomas’s list of things to do in life. A thrill-seeker of epic proportions, he had jumped from a helicopter to ski remote mountain slopes and traversed half of Antarctica on a cross-country skiing adventure. If only his wisdom of doing things in packs hadn’t failed him on the day of his accident. He had ventured out alone before, and in any case, most of the ski ranges around his mountain home were littered with forest rangers whose job was to help stranded hikers. So a solo trip by an experienced skier wasn’t the most dangerous of adventures. Every seasoned skier is aware of both the risks and the joys involved with skiing off-piste. It’s a different experience from the snow that’s been packed down into hard ice by the hundreds of other skiers who have already crossed over it. Movements occur almost in slow-motion as the skier glides in and out of the piles of powder. It’s an exhausting challenge that requires effort from the skier’s whole body, but a unique one that hooks a skier after just one run. Thomas even had special equipment for this particular type of skiing. His well-worn pair of traditional skis wouldn’t be sufficient, so he’d expended an extra two hundred pounds on a wider set of blades especially made for skiing in powder. And it wasn’t as if safety was the last thing on his mind. He’d brought his avalanche kit in case of emergencies. He wore an airbag that would help to keep him near the surface if he pulled the cord in time, and another device which would assist him with breathing under snow. The rescue service’s number was programmed into his mobile phone, and his avalanche transceiver - which emits an emergency signal - was equipped with fully-charged batteries. Thomas’s run that day was in familiar territory. He had always skied with a trusted ski buddy, with never an incident to report. Perhaps he had been lulled into a false sense of security. In fact, he had intended to ski with a friend that morning. When his friend couldn’t make it, Thomas considered not going himself, but the snow on the mountain had fallen just the night before, and the lure was too intense. His run was a wide, bare track of slope nestled between two pine forests - a real skier’s delight, and quite popular with the locals as well. They say an avalanche is like a sleeping giant, waiting to be woken up by even the slightest of nudges. Thomas gave this giant more than a nudge - he skied right over it and before he knew it, he was skiing on top of it as it slid down the mountain along with him. And if you ski on top of the giant’s mouth, it’s likely to swallow you whole. As Thomas sank beneath powder, through his acute panic he managed to pull the cord on his airbag. The roar of the giant fell silent seconds later, and from beneath the snow it was as if morning had turned to night. Thomas tried to reach his phone, but his arm might as well have been cast in concrete. Lying still, his panic slowly shifting to an eerie peacefulness, he did his best to keep his chin up. He even began to enjoy the dark solitude, even though he knew he might never be found. Luckily for him, the giant had caught the attention of others, and the transceiver was doing the job it was designed to do. 26
Test 2 12 What are the ‘packs’ that the author refers to in the first paragraph? 1) Types of snow. 3) Groups of people. 2) Regions or areas. 4) Ski manoeuvres. Ответ: 13 Why didn’t Thomas think his solo ski run would be very risky? 1) There were personnel to help in case of trouble. 2) He wasn’t aware of the potential dangers. 3) He had been on more dangerous ski adventures. 4) He believed powder to be easier to ski on than packed ice. Ответ: — 14 Skiers who ski on powder for the first time ... 1) often never do it again. 3) fall in love with the experience. 2) find it to be relaxing. 4) often get stuck in the snow. Ответ: 15 What is true about Thomas’s avalanche kit? 1) The airbag would help him breathe. 2) The airbag would inflate automatically. 3) He had an emergency number written down. 4) Some items required electric power to function. Ответ: 16 Why did Thomas particularly want to ski that day? 1) It was pre-arranged with his friend. 2) He wanted to ski alone. 3) The area was beautiful. 4) The weather conditions were ideal. Ответ: — 17 An avalanche is compared to a sleeping giant because ... 1) it’s not usually dangerous. 2) it can quickly spring into life. 3) it’s a huge spectacle. 4) it can easily kill people. Ответ: — 18 The expression ‘keep his chin up’ in the last paragraph means ... 1) stay positive. 2) keep breathing. 3) raise his head. 4) avoid making movements.

Their purpose is to hold back water, which often creates a lake behind the dam. They also control the flow of the river and produce electricity. Dams can be beneficial because they can provide a stable source of water. This water can be used for farming, for drinking, and even as a habitat for fish and other animals. Additionally, machines are built into the dam that generate power. This power is created when the force of the water moves through the dam, causing a turbine to spin and create an electric current. On the other hand, dams can cause problems for people who live behind them. Because a dam causes a river to swell and create a lake, anyone living near the river will have to relocate. Entire villages have had to be moved because of this reason. Task Study the advertisement. You are considering buying tbe bicycle and you would like to get more information.

Some like to be active, while others like to just sit back and relax. A fun family trip that everyone can enjoy is river rafting. This is where you and your whole family sink into an inflatable craft on a slow flowing river and just lie back and watch nature as it passes you by. B. Most people put a lot of focus on a holidays specific destination. Others have something else in mind. They want five-star hotels, fine dining and other niceties at their fingertips. You have to admit, it’s not a bad idea. Who needs to go sightseeing when you can just get a deep massage, swim in a heated pool or have chocolate-covered strawberries delivered to your table? C. It’s hard to believe someone would want to stay in an ice hotel, but believe it or not, such a thing exists. There’s one in the most northern regions of Sweden which operates during winter. It’s not as cold as one would think, as long as you don’t touch the walls! As for day trips, it’s a snowy winter wonderland as far as the eye can see. D. Seeing nature is definitely a good choice for a holiday adventure. One idea is to visit a canyon. Often, you can walk through the centre of the canyon and see towering cliffs and fascinating rock formations. It’s a great way to get a bit of exercise as well. Just make sure you’ve got a sturdy pair of boots on for the rough terrain. E. Summer isn’t the only time you can go on a fulfilling holiday. Many winter destinations have much to keep you entertained. Take skiing trips, for example. A gorgeous drive to the mountains is enough to take your stress away. Few things are more thrilling than gliding over snow at speed. Even if you’re afraid of skiing, there’s always the beginner runs. Even little kids give those a try! F. Imagine visiting ten different cities in just two weeks. This is the type of holiday you can have on a cruise ship. Each time the ship pulls into a new port, you get to hop off and explore a new, exotic locale. And in between stops, you can admire the amazing waters of the world. You may love the water so much, you never want to return to land! G. Some people’s idea of a holiday is very straightforward. All they want is to lie undisturbed on a golden beach surrounded by crystal blue waters, with an umbrella to shield them from the bright rays. It may be the typical holiday setting, but you have to admit, it’s very popular for a reason. Just make sure you pack extra sun cream and a large hat! Ответ: A В C D E F G

Possibly due to global warming, it seems that the UK is getting wetter and wetter as each year passes. Recent rains have ruined thousands of peoples homes A. The UK is no stranger to floods. For centuries citizens in London suffered from tidal surges that would creep up the river Thames and flood the city. For this reason, the British government decided to build a barrier, known as the Thames Barrier, В. Built in the late 1970s, the barrier has saved the country billions of pounds in building repairs. It has saved lives also; the 1928 Thames flood killed 14 people, and 307 people died in the North Sea flood of 1953. After this, the importance of building C. The barrier, constructed in southeast London, is a marvel to look at. The concrete barrier supports are topped with huge domes of polished steel that look very futuristic. The barrier works by tilting large platforms, D, upwardly into a vertical position in order to block the flow of water. Since its construction, the floodgates have been closed over 160 times. The barrier was built with the future in mind, and designed to withstand devastating flood conditions. At some point, however, it will have to be fortified, as estimates predict that it will lose E. More will need to be done to extend its usefulness. The barrier has been successful for London, but it was designed specifically to protect the capital city. In other regions of the UK, it will take more F. 1. to protect the country’s wide expanses of rural farmland from flooding 2. a barrier was thrust to the forefront of government policy 3. and left many of them homeless for months 4. which have saved numerous lives in the decades since being built 5. a great deal of its protection powers after the year 2070 6. which lie flat on the river bed during normal sea and weather conditions 7. to keep the floodwater from spilling over into the streets Ответ: A В C D E F 39

Road trip The second week of Sarahs road trip proved to be problematic. Even though she had voiced concerns about her boyfriend’s great idea’ of buying a used van to travel around in, she wasn’t about to say ‘I told you so’ when it broke down halfway across Kentucky. She did, however, sigh when Josh asked if she would chip in for repairs. ‘I’m going to have to call my parents for this, you know,’ she said in a patient yet admonishing tone. So the pair of them, accompanied by Sarah’s sister, Michelle, and a friend, Shane, were stranded for the next couple of days in Bardstown, population 11,700. They scrabbled to find something to do to entertain themselves while they waited for the engine part to arrive. They’d made sleeping arrangements at a quaint bed and breakfast near the historic district. It was either that or the row of bog standard, characterless motels out on the interstate highway that Sarah had convinced the others to avoid. ‘The mechanic said we should check out Bardstown. It might be pretty dull, but how bad can it be?’ she urged the group, not fully convinced they’d find something better. Michelle, who usually argued for the sake of it, was for once on board. The guys agreed. Once the accommodation was taken care of, they set out for the bit of sightseeing that Bardstown had to offer. They perused the main road, with its dozen or so buildings that had survived from the town’s days as an early trading post. Each one had its own version of a knick-knack shop. They were charming, and contrary to Sarah’s gut feeling from before, there were much worse places to be stranded in. They decided to enter one of the shops. Although more spacious than the others, it was still jam-packed with stuff. ‘Howdy, folks,’ the shop owner said as they entered, which was not so much ‘Welcome to Bardstown as ‘You break it, you buy it.’ Sarah suspected it was an age-appropriate comment, as they didn’t look like the most responsible bunch, despite the opposite being true in her case. The shop was filled with the typical antique shop items: odd, mismatched china sets, silverware, wooden furniture, lampshades. The walls had dozens of old paintings only the painter could love and more stuffed birds than Sarah cared to see. The shop was void of people, eerily quiet, and even though she and Michelle found humour in the items, they kept their comments to themselves. The guys admired the old hunting rifles. ‘I hope there aren’t any bullets left in those,’ Michelle quipped, the words jarring the silence. Less interested in gazing at objects, Sarah decided to strike up a conversation with the owner. ‘Have you lived here all your life?’ Sarah asked, imagining the answer to be ‘Yes.’ ‘My parents were even born here. In fact, there might be more people in town I’m related to than not,’ the owner said, straight faced. Sarah didn’t know what to make of that comment, but she politely laughed. ‘Where are you guys from?’ he asked. ‘Certainly not from around these parts.’ ‘We’re from New Hampshire. On a road trip across America. We’re going to California,’ she said, wondering if she offered too much information, little as it was. ‘Oh, too many earthquakes out there for me,’ he said. ‘I’ll stay put.’ ‘We were wondering where we should get something to eat. Any recommendations?’ she asked genuinely, but also because she couldn’t think of anything else to say. ‘Everything’s safe to eat around here, except the burger joint out on the highway, next to the mechanic. Worst place to eat around. Worst mechanic in town, too.’
Test 3 12 13 14 How did Sarah feel about calling her parents for help? 1) Eager. 3) Enraged. 2) Put out. 4) Disinterested. Regarding accommodation, Sarah was sure ... 1) there was something better than on the highway. 2) that Bardstown would be entertaining. 3) the mechanic knew was he was talking about. 4) she didn’t want to stay on the highway. What does the phrase ‘gut feeling’ in the fourth paragraph mean? 1) A moment of confusion. 3) A feeling of certainty. 2) Discomfort in the stomach. 4) An initial attitude or belief. Ответ: Ответ: Ответ: 15 The shop owner greeted the group with ... 1) a humorous tone. 2) genuine kindness. 3) suspicion. 4) a salesman-like attitude. Ответ: 16 Sarah thought that the paintings in the shop were ... 1) attractive. 2) all very similar. 3) all by the same artist. 4) ugly. Sarah laughed at what the shop owner said because she ... 1) found it to be funny. 2) felt a bit nervous. 3) assumed he was joking. 4) thought of something funny. Ответ: Ответ: 18 How was Sarah likely to feel at the end of the last paragraph? 1) Relieved. 2) Concerned. 3) Amused. 4) Confident.

The instructor told her, ‘Don’t be frightened. Just try to 34 him that you’re in control. He won’t throw you.’ She eventually managed it and rode for a full hour, so it was a successful day after all. Her next few lessons went fairly smoothly. The area where she practised was an open meadow surrounded by trees and a river. It was a safe place to learn, but still, she had to be mindful hazards such as rocks and the occasional wild animal. On one particular day, her horse came threw Laura to the ground, just as her instructor had said it wouldn’t. ‘I’m terribly sorry about that,’ he said.

Many insects have the ability to taste things with different parts of their bodies. They have sensors in these body parts, usually in the form of tiny hairs. These act similarly to the taste buds in our tongues. A fly is one type of insect that can taste things just by landing on it. This is because it has taste receptors in the hairs on its feet. In fact, when a fly rests upon a surface that is some kind of food, the fly’s mouth will open automatically as a reflex action. Another insect that can perform the same function is a butterfly. Some insects can taste things using the thin hairs on their antennae. Honey bees and wasps are two such creatures. In the same way that they taste things, they can also use these hairs to smell odours that pass through the air. Task 2 Study the advertisement. You are considering visiting the restaurant and you would like to get more information.

Some people might think working round the house is an easy thing, but these people obviously don’t do very much of it. When you have to tidy up a living room full of kids’ toys, clean bookshelves covered in dust and prepare a meal for suppertime, it can be exhausting. You can’t do it alone, so you’ve got to employ your family to help. Still, they don’t always do their jobs! B. Being a florist is a rewarding job. It’s almost like being a decorator of plants. You make all sort of arrangements in a variety of colours for special occasions like weddings and Mother’s Day, and naturally, you have to be a lover of all things green. You’ve got to make sure all the plants stay healthy otherwise it’s hard to make a sale. C. Working as a TV newsreader has its ups and downs. The up side is if you love communicating and think you do it well, it’s the perfect job for you On the other hand, it can be quite stressful being on camera often, especially when you don’t feel like it. Additionally, the news is often not pleasant to report on, so you’ve got to keep a stiff upper lip. D. If you’re looking for some extra money, you might want to consider working for a few hours after school. Lots of places are keen on employing young people, and the work schedule can be quite flexible. A student has a busy life, so you probably couldn’t do more than ten or twelve hours a week, but it’s a great way to earn some cash and learn responsibility. E. For many adults, the first thing to do every morning is to grab a cup of coffee and sit down with the news. Whether it be reading a paper or the internet, it seems to be a habit for lots of people. The news has a way of kicking your mind into gear, along with the coffee, of course, and then once you’ve had your fill, it’s off to get ready for work. F. Whereas some people don’t mind doing housework, for others, it’s a real bother. They prefer being outside, and if they’ve got a big garden to tend to, there’ll be many tasks to keep them entertained, such as planting seeds, pruning trees and doing the watering. There’s something they can do outside every day, and they never get bored with it G. There are lots of different class trips a teacher can take students on, like visiting a newspaper or a bank to see how things are run. An interesting way to learn about nature is a trip to the zoo. The kids see lots of different kinds of animals, and they can learn about where they’re from. It’s just one of many class trip ideas. Ответ. A В c D E F G

Traditionally dressed in red, with a red kolpak, or pointed hat, Petrushka was a humorous fellow A. Petrushka first came to life, so to speak, sometime in the 18th century during Empress Anna Ioannovna’s reign. In the Empress’s court was a man named Pietro Mira Pedrillo, of Italian descent, В. It was this man’s character and style that became the basis for Petrushka. In fact, the name Petrushka is a diminutive form of the name Pyotr (Peter, or Pietro in Italian). In the beginning, Petrushka was intended for an adult audience. The plots of the puppets theatrical plays were about a variety of common, meaningful occurrences in a Russian’s life: a visit to a medical practitioner, learning military service, or a marriage ceremony, to name a few. The plots employed the use of interactive humour C. Over time, puppet theatre moved away from adult-themed entertainment and towards children’s fare. Because of this, some of the long running and less savoury characters had to be retired. Still, the humour of the shows was considered sharp-witted enough D. An interesting aspect of Petrushka, as with other puppet shows, is his unusual voice, made to sound like a funny whistle, or kazoo. This would add a buzzing sound to the character’s speech, E. Mr Punch of Punch and Judy shows in the UK is one character with a similar voice. Petrushka was famously made into a ballet in 1911 by Russian ballet composer Igor Stravinsky. The ballet tells a coming-to-life story of the puppet F. 1. to provide entertainment for both children and their parents 2. and follows his journeys as he discovers his thoughts and emotions 3. to force many puppeteers to seek alternative sources of income 4. who entertained the empress during leisurely afternoons 5. which could also be heard in famous puppet shows of other countries 6. whose persona was based on the personality of a court jester 7. which allowed the audience to participate in the various shows A В C D E F

The job of a butler The job of а 21 st century butler was underappreciated in society, but in carrying out the role Mr Wainwright found a type of magnificence which contradicted that lack of respect. His ability to be a silent yet highly perceptive presence amongst the upper classes, whilst performing his duties immaculately, was his proof. He understood why he might be looked down upon by others; servitude wasn’t equated with prestige, unlike other jobs such as surgeon or architect. And society’s general disdain for the very privileged meant those who served them were like slaves to the enemy. He could leave his job at any time, however, and his salary rivalled his prestigious counterparts in the outside world’. What he wasn’t allowed to do was be less than perfect. A butler was the boss of all the other service staff and he hadn’t arrived at the position overnight. The others around him - the valet, the footman, the hall boy - could make small mistakes and seemingly get away with it, that is until the earl took notice and had a word with Mr Wainwright, which he would pass on to them. The admonishment was more like a slap on the wrist, thanks to his kindly nature, however. The butler had to know what was going to happen before it happened. Anticipation was the top job skill - not something you’re taught at school. It was a life lesson, one most people rarely learn. Even at butler training, this skill would be one you would just have to ‘pick up’. They’d tell you that you need to do this, but it was up to the individual to work out how they’d achieve it. Sacrificing your own needs to attend to the needs of others was a large part of it. Besides being well paid for his service, there were certain other rewards for being a butler. The workspace was an elegant turn-of-the-century mansion, which Mr Wainwright admired deeply but had grown so accustomed to he took for granted, aside from its upkeep. The endless array of dignitaries that passed through the halls meant experiencing - if only from the sidelines - a slice of society most people would never come across. The butlers living quarters were well furnished, if meagre in space. But the butler - in fact, all the staff - dined much like the nobility. They partook of the same fine meals that went upstairs, even if they consumed them downstairs. That was what Mr Wainwright savoured the most. Every bit as delicate as the household procedures was Mr Wainwright’s relationship with the earl. Their exchanges were often friendly, but it was understood that they were not ‘friends’, nor could Mr Wainwright ever wish for that. The lady of the house was technically the person he reported to. Lady Channing was the one who’d elevated him to his exalted position, and who would defend him against any of the earl’s misgivings about his service, of which there were few. Mr Wainwright had settled on a life of service, disregarding other opportunities, not only because of his rare ability to serve others while remaining largely unseen, but also because of his deep-seated need to be needed himself. Praise, however, was rare in Channing Manor - the perfunctory ‘Thank you, Wainwright’ was as commonplace as afternoon tea. The very promotion from footman to butler had only included the words ‘I’d like you to be our butler’ followed by ‘This is what you will do’. It was years later, when Lady Channing, in a moment of humility, said, T don’t know what I would do without you,’ that Mr Wainwright was reminded of his wise choice. 54
Test 4 12 What does Mr Wainwright consider to be magnificent? 1) His position. 3) Peoples opinions. 2) His duties. 4) His abilities. Ответ: 13 In what way is Mr Wainwright’s job like a surgeon’s? 1) It is well paid. 3) The duties are similar. 2) People appreciate both jobs. 4) People look down on both jobs. Ответ: 14 The phrase ‘slap on the wrist’ in the third paragraph means ... 1) a severe punishment. 3) tapping someone’s hand with wood. 2) a light warning. 4) light praise. Ответ: 15 How does a butler learn how to foresee his boss’s needs? 1) Through training. 2) From higher staff. 3) From the boss himself. 4) Through personal devotion. Ответ: 16 ‘That’ in ‘That was what Mr Wainwright savoured the most’ in the fifth paragraph refers to ... 1) the surroundings he dined in. 2) the food he dined on. 3) the people he dined with. 4) the manner in which he dined. Ответ: 17 What is true about Mr Wainwright’s relationships with the Channings? 1) The earl defended him from Lady Channing. 2) Lady Channing deeply respected him. 3) He wished he was closer to the earl. 4) He and the earl often had problems. 18 Mr Wainwright was satisfied with being a butler because ... 1) the lady had said many kind things to him over the years. 2) he enjoyed serving others without wanting anything in return. 3) a few small things were said to him on a daily basis. 4) he realised he was a valued and necessary part of something.

Free entry 5. Wild crowd 2. A bad decision 6. Empty seats 3. Sore loser 7. Accidents happen 4. Chance participant 8. Thrilling match A. For sports fans, attending a sporting event is often an amazing experience. They get to shout and cheer for their team amongst a huge group of like-minded supporters. But then there are those rare moments, in a baseball game, for example, when the hitter knocks the ball into the stands. That’s why some spectators bring gloves, in the rare event that they become part of the game. B. People like different sports for different reasons. Most fans of tennis talk about how it’s filled with a lot of action. If you’ve got two great tennis legends playing, watching them hit the ball back and forth across the net really holds your attention. You’re waiting for one of them to slip up, and you can’t take your eye off the ball! C. For many people, visiting a stadium to see a game is not feasible within their schedule. Instead, they stay at home and watch it on the TV with a group of friends while they enjoy snacks and cheer for their team. Sometimes it seems as if too many people have had the same idea, so you’re watching your team play but you can’t help but notice there’s hardly anyone in the stands! D. Occasionally you hear about this in the news - fans of a certain football team, who love their team seemingly more than life itself, get into huge fights with supporters of the other team It often has a terrible ending, too. It’s hard to believe people can behave so stupidly sometimes. It’s enough to make you not want to visit a sporting event. E. The whole idea of a competition is that someone wins, and someone doesn’t. But sometimes the latter person in that equation doesn’t take it too well. They throw a fit, and storm off the field or court. It doesn’t help the situation, and it looks very bad. If only they realised what fools they’re making of themselves, they might not behave that way F. Sporting events are really popular, and radio shows know this. That’s why they host programmes where you can call in for a chance to win tickets to your favourite match. Usually they ask some sort of trivia question, like who scored the winning goal in the last World Cup, for example. If you’re the first to call in and get the answer right - congratulations! You’re going to a football match! G. It’s so frustrating when you’re watching your favourite team play and they get robbed of a goal. Take football, for example. Players have to get the ball past the line in front of the net. If the goalie stops the ball before it passes the line, the team won’t get the goal What if the ball looks as if it crosses over, but the referee rules against your team? Oh, the anger!

Leaning Big Ben Is Big Ben becoming the British version of the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Surveys of the famous UK landmark in recent years have proven what can barely be seen by the naked eye. Although it is far smaller than the Tower of Pisa’s tilt of almost four degrees, Big Ben is A. Officials in government seem to be brushing off concerns that the clock tower is in danger of collapsing. They may be right. Considering the tower in Pisa has been leaning for centuries and has yet to fall, В. If anything, Big Ben’s ever-so-slight lean is a fascinating sight to see, if you can in fact notice it. An onlooker standing in Parliament Square looking head on at the tower might perceive an extremely minor lean to the left C. The government is not entirely unconcerned about the stability of the tower. However they state that, in light of extensive structural surveys of the building, no immediate risk is present, D. The tower is leaning in part due to the construction of an underground railway line beneath the structure as well as a car park. In fact, though, many buildings, regardless of what structures are underneath, undergo changes as they age. Most old buildings have a few cracks in them, and E . This isn’t the first structural issue the tower has encountered in its over 150-year life In 1976, the weights that control the workings of the clock snapped off and fell down the clock shaft. The clock actually exploded inside F. Luckily no one was hurt, as the accident happened at 4 am. 1. towards a faster, more economical way of repairing the tower 2. in fact, the Houses of Parliament are cracking a bit themselves 3. towards Bridge Street rather than towards the Houses of Parliament 4. and repairs took nearly nine months to be completed 5. meaning building reinforcements can wait until after the next elections 6. in fact leaning by about 0.26 degrees, according to reports 7. worrying about Big Ben’s immediate demise is likely to be a waste of energy Ответ: A В c D E F 67
lest 5 Прочитайте текст и выполните задания 12-18. В каждом задании запишите в поле ответа цифру 1, 2, 3 или 4, соответствующую выбранному Вами варианту ответа. Farm life for a city dweller Alan had not spent much of his life on a farm. There had been short visits in the summers to his cousins’ farm in Devon, but he had never actually done any labour. He and his parents would stay for a couple of days, ride horses, have some nice meals and head back to London. His aunt had always said kindly and generously, ‘Why don’t you stay with us for the whole summer? We’ll teach you how to milk the cows.’ He would just chuckle and answer with a polite but mildly sarcastic response, ‘Oh, don’t tempt me, Aunt Jean.’ During his penultimate year at secondary school, he began to take more of an interest in nature. He decided that the upcoming summer would be the perfect opportunity to spend more time on the farm. He made the arrangements with his elated aunt and uncle, packed two months-worth of clothes and set off for the country. Despite not having spent much time on a farm, Alan knew it would not be an easy experience. As a child he had noticed his aunt and uncles weathered hands. At the time he didn’t know why, but as he grew older he came to realise the reason. ‘That’s what farming does to you,’ his mum confirmed when he asked her about it. Still, hard work aside, Alan was curious about all the various tasks a farm had to offer He resisted the urge to behave like a tourist, even though he knew that after the two months had finished, he’d return to his privileged life in the city, where the most difficult manual labour was carrying a rucksack over his shoulder. But there were some things he wasn’t prepared for. Farming can be remarkably dirty work. His aunt and uncle’s farm had a variety of animals to tend to, as well as an extensive vegetable garden. His aunt spent hours every day weeding the garden. It was not something that could be done in one day, or even one week. There was no end to the number of unwanted plants that grew alongside the wanted ones. But Alan spent more time with his uncle and the animals. The stables housed the horses, which, these days, were less like a second set of farm workers and more like pets, and there were fields of sheep, cattle and a chicken coop. He, his uncle and his cousin Fred would ride in his uncle’s lorry and unload bales of hay in the fields for the cows. They had to feed them, and the other animals, as often as they themselves needed to eat. The feeding of animals, the collecting of chicken eggs from the coop, even the shearing of sheep was all child’s play, and was perhaps as deep into farm life as Alan wanted to venture. The holding pens had to be cleaned, though, and even worse was the sad fact about animal farming, which was that some animals weren’t long for this world. This particular aspect wasn’t something that Alan could muster the strength to endure. When the time came, he bowed out, feeling in the end more cowardly than sorrowful. His uncle understood. Alan wasn’t from the farm, and he couldn’t expect him to accept every aspect of the life in just a few short weeks. ‘There are many things I would rather not do out here, but it’s part and parcel of the life,’ his uncle tried to explain. ‘People take these things for granted when somebody else does the work for them.’ While Alan respected his uncle’s words, he spent more and more time in the garden as the weeks went by.
Test 5 How could Alan’s aunt’s invitation be characterised? 1) Sarcastic. 3) Demanding. 2) Desperate. 4) Sincere. Ответ: 13 14 15 Alan asked his mum about his aunt and uncle’s hands ... 1) because he didn’t understand why they looked like that. 2) because he wanted to know more about farm life. 3) knowing what she’d say before she said it. 4) wondering if his own hands would eventually look that way. How did Alan view farm life before he tried it? 1) It would be like a holiday. 2) It would be an interesting experience. 3) It would be easier than his city life. 4) It would be full of really dirty work. Alan describes the horses as being ... 1) no longer working animals. 2) more useful than the other animals. 3) difficult to tend to. 4) essential to the farm. Ответ: Ответ: Ответ: 16 ‘Themselves’ in ‘as often as they themselves had to eat’ in the fifth paragraph refers to ... 1) the cattle. 3) the chickens. 2) Alan and his family. 4) the horses. Ответ: — 17 How did Alan feel concerning his refusal of a certain task? 1) He felt sad that this task had to be done. 2) He was ashamed that he wasn’t brave enough to do it. 3) He was happy to have spared the life of a farm animal. 4) He felt upset that his uncle did this kind of work. Ответ: — 18 The phrase ‘part and parcel’ in the last paragraph means ... 1) inseparable. 3) important. 2) optional. 4) disheartening.

Oases Oases are areas where trees and plants grow around a body of water 26 in the middle of a desert. They are phenomena USUAL because there is so little water or vegetation in desert areas. How does the water in an oasis get there? It doesn’t come from the sky, but rather, from underneath the ground. Believe it or not, there are underground rivers and layers of rock which contain water beneath 27 the desert floor. SAND Pressure from underneath these water sources pushes the water to the surface. In other cases, people have drawn the water out , through the use of man-made wells. ARTIFICIAL An oasis can be quite small, only able to support a limited number of trees and to supply a little water for those who pass by.

You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it. Robots are beginning to enter the field of surgical medicine, even if only for a limited number of operations. There are great advantages to using robots in surgery. Firstly, robots are useful for extremely delicate moves during an operation. A human surgeons hand, while skilful, has only limited capability of making a precise incision or manoeuvre. A robot also allows operations to be carried out on a much smaller scale, leading to better results and less stress on the patient s body. Secondly, robots do not suffer from fatigue. A machine can perform a particular operation numerous times and never tire. Surgeons, on the other hand, must complete their tasks before they lose their energy. Of course, robots cannot replace a human surgeon entirely, but they can provide assistance for specific techniques. Task 2 Study the advertisement. You are considering joining the gym and you would like to get more information. In 1.5 minutes you are to ask five direct questions to find out the following: 1) cost of membership and training session 2) length of training session 3) opening hours 4) multiple centres 5) facilities You have 20 seconds to ask each question. 74

If you’ve ever had to move to the other side of the world, you’ll know it can take a long while to adjust, especially to simple things like the weather. If you’re used to experiencing four distinct seasons in the year, then you move to the tropics, you might find yourself missing the snow. Naturally, if you hated snow in the first place, the warm weather would be a welcome experience. D. Some people have to watch what they eat because their system simply won’t allow them to tolerate some things. For example, there are people who are allergic to dairy products, so they must avoid milk and anything made from it. Other people are prone to high cholesterol, so they have to avoid meat a bit more often than others. Anyone who suffers from a wheat allergy has to avoid certain breads. E. Hotels have to modernise just like everything else. Why go on holiday and stay in a place that makes you feel as though you’ve stepped back into the 1970s? It may be clean and professionally staffed, but its not nice to look at orange curtains or flowery carpets. If a hotel spends a little money and updates its image, people will be more likely to stay there and come back. E There are many difficult things about moving, especially when it comes to unpacking. Its helpful if you’ve got every box labelled, but still, if you’ve just moved in and you’re in a hurry for something, it can be quite frustrating trying to find it. You have to stop and think, "Where did I put it?’ It’s probably best to get everything unpacked straight away and put it in the right place. G. If a company is not doing well, perhaps it’s wise to hire an advisor. This person can tell the directors how much they should be spending on one or more expenses, and how they can better organise their company. After all, a company cant continue to succeed if it’s not able to hold onto the money that comes into it. Ответ:

During this period in Russian culture, the architect Konstantin Melnikov established himself within the avant-garde movement. Born in Moscow in 1890, he started out as an icon painter. A chance meeting with famous engineer Vladimir M. Chaplin, who asked Melnikov to work for him, gave him his golden opportunity in life. Chaplin was so impressed with Melnikov s abilities В. After twelve years of study, Melnikov began designing buildings in the neoclassical style before moving on to more contemporary work. He was selected to design the Soviet pavilion at the 1925 Paris Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Art. His pavilion was widely considered one of the most progressive buildings at the exposition. Constructed using the most efficient methods, C. In the late 1920s Melnikov designed a series of garages. A feature of the design allowed for slanted parking, in which a vehicle would pull in diagonally D. The floors of the garage were shaped like a parallelogram and the exterior was given an avant-garde appearance. Melnikov later designed a number of buildings used by workers’ unions. He included the use of overhangs, E. This gave a building a very dramatic appearance that seemingly defied gravity. Melnikov’s private residence has become one of his masterpieces. The property consists of two wide cylindrical towers which have been stuck together. The biggest room features 38 hexagonal-shaped windows, F. 1. which are structures that extend from higher floors out beyond the lower ones 2. and his style often did not conform to any precise rules of architecture 3. giving the house an unusual exterior appearance while allowing light to flood the interior 4. and then be able to leave the space by simply pulling out 5. which today is used to describe anything experimental and progressive 6. it was built in only four weeks by just ten workers 7. that he funded his education at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture Ответ: A В C D E F

I I i I I g Dream job It wasn’t my first interview by any means, but I had never wanted a job as much as I wanted this one. For years I had been floating from one job to the next, not sure of what I wanted to do in life but needing some way to afford living on my own, I had filled many temporary positions and a few permanent ones, or at least ones that the employers considered to be permanent, even though I didn’t think of them in that way I had met many interesting people and made a few friends, but I’d never felt that I’d found a post that suited me. Interestingly enough, many of the friends I’d made along the journey felt the same way I had worked in a restaurant serving food, in an insurance office reviewing peoples claims, at a PR firm thinking of ways to impress important people, and even on a construction site building homes. An odd set of skills you might think, and none of them really appropriate for the job I was going for now - forest conservation. This was an area I’d been passionate about as a teenager, but didn’t think I could ever make a living from. Now I’d decided to give it a chance. Some of the skills I’d picked up along the way had even been in direct conflict with it, such as the pounding of nails into wood. Those poor trees! Now I’d be in charge of saving them. Well, I hoped I would be anyway. I’d done a lot of preparation for this one interview, this one shot at fulfilling my destiny I tried not to be too dramatic - naturally there were other interviews to be had, or so I had to think, to take some of the pressure off. I had searched for this job for over a year, even considering moving across the country, onlv to decide to wait until something came up round here. It wasn’t easy to get your foot in the door in this line of work. And not just anyone could do it, hence my two years of graduate work. There was no telling how many other people were vying for this position. The number of CVs that office received must have been in the hundreds. It’s tough finding a job these days, let alone the job you want. But we mustn’t let things like that stop us from getting what we want out of life. I’ve resigned myself to believing that if there’s something you really want, you have to really focus on getting it, and that means blocking out discouraging thoughts. I had to believe that the job was mine, despite the pain I might have to endure if I didn’t get it. I imagined the interviewers to be a great bunch of guys. Here they were, doing what they loved to do. Certainly there was gratification to be found in any job, even in the jobs I mentioned before. But dignitv and self-respect depend on your own view of life, and how you see yourself as a benefit to the world. And of course, what you feel would satisfy you the most personally. So I would do my best to convey these feelings during the hour or so I had with the directors, and cross my fingers for a call back. I suppose everyone passing through their doors would be doing the same thing, but if I could express my deepest passion for preserving forests, which I’ve realised was my destiny all along, surely I would be doing myself the biggest favour.

Solar panels are a commonly used form of technology which harness power from the sun. They work by converting sunlight into electricity. However, most solar panels only convert about 20% of the incoming energy. This is because they can only capture certain wavelengths of light. Advances are being made in the field of solar panel technology. Recently a solar cell was manufactured that can convert almost 45% of the rays’ energy. The panel consists of different layers of material, and each layer can absorb a certain wavelength of light. The panels also have lenses, which magnify the power of the sunlight. As the sunlight passes through the layers, it strikes conductors, which create electrical fields. These electrical fields produce a current of electricity. Task 2 Study the advertisement.

I I I а < i I 1. Young helpers 5. A warm welcome 2. Importance of discipline 6. Daddy day care 3. Home education 7. Sibling rivalry 4. Awkward moments 8. Methods of persuasion A. Family reunions can be a joyous occasion and an opportunity to meet new family members as well. Our parents have aunts, uncles and cousins that we may only meet once or twice in life. Often, though, meeting an extended family member can be like meeting a complete stranger. You’re not even sure you will like them, and the whole affair can feel a bit odd or uncomfortable. B. Traditionally, the mother is the primary caregiver to an infant child. She takes time off work and stays at home to provide round-the-clock attention during the child’s early years. But recently, more and more men are taking paternity leave from work to stay at home with their new-borns. Mothers find it a welcome trend, as caring for an infant can be exhausting work. C. While it’s true that kids must carry out their responsibilities just as adults do, sometimes Mum and Dad have to be a bit crafty to make it happen. They have to offer a little reward for a job well done. It may not be good practice to do it all the time, but if they promise a trip to the cinema, for example, the kids will be more likely to clean their rooms. D. Many families live far away from one another these days. They may have moved across the country, or even to the other side of the world. It’s especially hard for parents to see their children do this, either for work or for adventure. So when special occasions come round, especially the holidays seasons, Mum and Dad are so grateful when their sons and daughters return home. E. Sometimes a household is nothing but chaos for days on end. This is especially true when kids reach their adolescent phase, and you have a couple of teenagers who compete over every little thing in life. No matter how often parents attempt to stop two kids from fighting each other, nothing seems to work. They just have to wait until one of them moves away to university! E In most families, parents have to constantly remind their children of their responsibilities. But there are times when kids can be especially7 useful round the house of their own will. They also understand those times when Mum or Dad isn’t feeling well, and may7be it would be nice if they^ made dinner for a change or did a little extra tidying up in the living room. G. Relationships in the family are complex. Parents are the carers of their children, but they are their friends, too, and in both senses they would never do anything to hurt them. But parents must never forget their role as figures of authority. They have to explain what’s right and wrong and make sure their kids do it. They’ve also got to provide the punishment when their kids behave badly. Ответ: A В C D E F G

Some people are lucky enough only to hear about it, while others are plunged into economic uncertainty, A. A crisis occasionally arises from sudden bad decisions, but the cause is usually a collection of bad policies operated over an extended period. The financial crisis of 2008 was a result of a loosening of rules among banks. Changes in those regulations began during the 1980s, В financial transactions with little supervision. The system of regulation became one of trust; it was up to the banks to behave wisely, and the governments would stay out of it. The regulation of banks was, in a sense, left up to the free market, C. It allowed for transactions to flow more freely, which did in fact help economies grow during the 1980s and 1990s. When the financial markets first ran into trouble, large banking institutions failed altogether, D. A small number of the worlds most wealthy people suffered greatly. But overall, the middle class and the poor suffered the worst of the crisis. The 2010 Eurozone crisis is thought to be connected to the 2008 one. Governments that had borrowed enormous amounts to pay for problems caused two years earlier suddenly found themselves unable to support the debt.

It had been two years since she’d graduated from university, and she was still living like a student. She had too much plastic furniture in the living room, books and magazines were scattered all over the place, the laundry area looked like an exploded wardrobe on a daily basis and a light layer of dust covered most surfaces. Tidying up was not really her cup of tea, and until now, she had become complacent with her dated belongings. It wasn’t that she was an unclean person, quite the contrary Her personal appearance was immaculate; she had her hair and nails done on a regular basis. Her sense of style and clothing were a bit trendy, perhaps a bit Bohemian, and she always looked as professional enough for her job managing a bookshop as was required. This she gave her full attention to. She simply didn’t invest enough time in her home. It was sporadically decorated: a couple of film posters were taped up, absent of frames and curling up at the bottom edges, an old dartboard hung in the corner, a message board with bills pinned on it adorned the kitchen. Needless to say, her flat wouldn’t be featured in an interior design magazine any time soon, nor would she be winning any prizes in a home decorating contest. She decided to take control of the situation, so she made a plan to tackle her unruly and unstylish flat, and set aside some time to get things in order. She arranged with her co-manager to have a work-free weekend in which she was going to clean every nook and cranny and throw out anything that screamed student’. The only exceptions were the university textbooks she had haphazardly thrown in a bookcase. She was a bookshop manager, after all. She would hold onto almost any book she happened to possess, save for some of the tattered paperback sci-fi novels that littered the floor. Knowing she might run out of steam on the project if she were left to her own devices, she enlisted the help of her friend Amy, who would ensure she stayed the course and completed her home transformation. Amy a dear friend since Ellens secondary school days, was part of the reason for Ellens decision to do this home makeover. Amy often made light-hearted jokes about the state of affairs in Ellens house, especially when Ellen would complain about how long it would take her to find her keys in the morning. Full of ambition on Friday evening, Ellen bought an array of new cleaning supplies and some implements such as dusters, a new broom and even a mop. Content with just sweeping before, Ellen had now decided the floors needed a good wash. The same would go for the windows. No longer would the spotty glass have to be covered up by curtains. But while Ellen had a practical step-by-step approach to her plan, Amy turned up at her house on Saturday morning with half a dozen design magazines, wanting to flick through them and admire how things should be, rather than how they were. It didn’t take much for Ellen to be persuaded to peruse them with her friend. A couple of hours passed by before they left the well-worn sofa. The afternoon rolled round at Ellens place, and she had still not got down to brass tacks. She had done precisely 0% of the cleaning, although there was plenty of talk about it, if only that were enough to make it happen.
13 14 The belongings in Ellen’s home... 1) had a great deal of value in them. 2) had been bothering her for some time. 3) were contained in one part of the house. 4) were leftovers from her student days. Ответ: ‘This’ in ‘This she gave her full attention to’ in the second paragraph refers to Ellen’s ... 1) job. 2) home. 3) looks. 4) studies. The author describes the decorating in Ellen’s home as ... 1) very random. 2) a winning style. 3) practical and functional. 4) casual and trendy. Ответ: What is true about Ellen’s books? 1) They were in good condition. 2) They were of various genres. 3) They were all in a bookcase. 4) They all related to her studies. 16 Her friend Amy’s role was intended to be to ... 1) tell her what to do. 2) provide moral support. 3) help with cleaning. 4) add humour to the situation. What was Amy’s approach to the home makeover? 1) Focus on style first, then think about cleaning. 2) Encourage Ellen to make a start. 3) Help Ellen enjoy the cleaning process. 4) Make an easily attainable plan of action. The phrase ‘got down to brass tacks’ in the last paragraph means to ... 1) clean things and make them shiny. 2) pick up the small stuff first. 3) get serious about something. 4) do the most difficult things first.

You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it. In medical schools, doctors use plastic models to teach students the specific names and functions of body parts. But one professor in the USA is using hands sculpted by a 19th century French sculptor. The artist was very passionate about the human form. He created highly detailed hands from bronze. In addition to that, he was curious about medical conditions that affected hands. Because of this, he actually sculpted sets of hands that had been deformed by these conditions. Doctors can show these hands to students and test students’ abilities to recognise the problems. A computer program allows students to see where bones and blood vessels would be situated in the hands. The method is very useful for teaching diseases of the hand. It also doubles as a rich experience in fine art. Task 2 Study the advertisement. You are considering going on a ride and you would like to get more information.

Online community 2. Travel safety 3. Friend turned enemy 4. Social network safety 5. Unhelpful friends 6. Nature’s enemy 7. Online trouble 8. Helping the community A. Have you ever had a friend who asks for favours all the time, but rarely gives them in return? They don’t think twice about asking you to do something for them, and whenever you bring up the problem, they brush it off as if it’s no big deal. Or they say that’s what friends are for, to help one another. It’s then that you realise they’re not much of a friend. B. Joining a neighbourhood clean-up effort is an inspiring thing to do. It’s a direct way of making a difference in your world, and it helps improve your living standards. It’s also a great opportunity for getting to know the people who live near you, which might be useful when you’re in need, and vice versa. If your neighbourhood doesn’t do this sort of thing, now’s the time to start. C. If you’ve ever had your identity stolen, you’re not alone. It happens to millions of people every year, and thieves gain millions of pounds from the activity. It often happens because a hacker has broken into our accounts by way of a computer virus we accidentally downloaded. If it happens to you, make sure you let your banks know to get your bank cards cancelled, and tell the police. D. Belonging to a social network is a useful pastime. It gives us an opportunity to share our thoughts and news with a like-minded group of individuals all at once. We can even meet new people who either agree with our ideas or contribute to a constructive debate. It’s entertaining to read everyone’s posts, which are sometimes funny but can also be thought-provoking, or maybe even sad. It’s a useful experience nonetheless. E. Whenever you go abroad, you must keep an eye on your belongings. You don’t want to become a victim of pick-pocketing. A useful tip is to place your money in your front pocket, as it’s less likely to be stolen there. It’s also wise to have your passport put away safely, or kept inside your jacket. Keep things zipped up, and never leave a bag unattended. F. When we discard plastic items carelessly, an animal may find it and have an unfortunate incident. For example, the plastic rings that go round a six-pack of drinks cans can get stuck round a small animal’s neck. The animal might wear that piece of plastic for the rest of its life, or until someone comes along and removes it. We really should be mindful of where we throw things. G. It’s a terrible ieeling when you realise someone close to you is saying bad things about you behind your back. You feel humiliated and angry on learning the truth, that someone you trusted isn’t trustworthy at all. You confront them about it, and they deny ever saying anything. An argument may follow, but eventually you decide that this isn’t the kind of person you want to spend time with. Ответ:

The colonial ties between India and the UK began in the early 1600s, A. In the late 1700s it wasn’t uncommon to see coffee houses serving curries alongside traditional British meals. The first dedicated Indian restaurant opened its doors in London in 1809, although it struggled due to people’s preferences to eat at home during that period. Tire owner ended up closing its doors after about three decades of service В. When Queen Victoria staffed her kitchen with Indian cooks, popularity for the cuisine really took oft. Cookbooks taught British homemakers how C. There was then a cooling-off period for this spicy fare. A revolt in India against British rule in 1857 meant curry wouldn’t be so fashionable for a while. In the years after that, its popularity would ebb and flow, and by the late 1800s, D. In the early 20th century, many people from the Indian subcontinent were migrating to Britain, and they bought up some of the run-down restaurants and transformed them into curry houses. Aware of people’s eating habits, Bangladeshi restaurateurs stayed open until late into the evening E. Soon enough, Indian food was popular again. Today, there are hundreds of Indian restaurants across the UK. Some dishes have been modified to a certain extent, such as British versions which introduce beef into the recipe, F.Overall, the cuisine has become such a mainstay of the British diet that chicken tikka masala is referred to as a national dish. 1.

The understudv When the lead actor for whom I was an understudy fell terribly ill with pneumonia the night before the opening of our play, I should have felt awful for her. I did, in a way. Not so much because she was ill - I was sure she’d pull through - but because it must have been gut-wrenching to have rehearsed for so many moons, as we all had, only to be struck with such disappointment. I know how this already appears to you: I was happy that she had fallen ill. After all, this was my golden opportunity to shine as the star of the production, and the way to fulfil my dreams of becoming an acting legend. I was going to seize the day and steal her thunder, never mind that we were friends and that I owed so much to her, what with her helping me get the role of her understudy in the first place. (It was very generous of her to put my name forward; she knew that I might one day take her place. Her attitude was always If someone can do it as well as me, let them do it.’ I admired her for that.) Naturally, I had always hoped for a big break in theatre, to get to actually perform at the centre of the production, rather than just remain on the sidelines. Most people don’t quite realise the kind of effort an understudy puts into a production. I’m not only learning the roles of the master, I’ve also got my own minor part to excel at. I must learn more lines than anyone else, well, except for the understudy for the male lead, who was my kindred spirit, the one I could console and be consoled by. But if I felt any happiness about Annette’s misfortune, it was unbeknown to me. In truth, when I heard the news about her ill health, less than a day before the opening night, nothing could have kept my heart from sinking into my stomach. Naturally, I had poured every effort into perfecting the role in case such a thing might ever happen, but I had somehow felt a bit of comfort in knowing that I wouldn’t be the star just yet. I felt I still needed some time to develop my craft, and what better way to do that than to practise in my minor role. That comfort all disappeared in an instant. I felt a bit weak at the knees, actually, and I had to struggle to put on a brave face when the director told me it was I who would be playing Lady Macbeth. I basically had less than twenty-four hours to prepare myself to be the star of the show. It wasn’t as if I hadn’t thought about it before, but possibility versus reality is a different story altogether. I was really and truly going to be in the lead. And furthermore, how many people were coming to see the performance because they adored Annette? What would be going through their minds when the director announced that Julie Hardy would be playing her role? Would I have to endure a round of faint sighs? I would be grateful not to see their faces, and I’d probably have my ears covered when the announcement was made. Luckily, I was surrounded by a supportive cast, who cheered me on. They must have assumed I’d be nervous, despite my attempts to hide it. Of course, if I couldn’t pretend that I was in control and ready to shine, how good an actor would I really be?

You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it. A new study shows that children can remember faces they saw when they were just twelve months old. The two-and-a-half year study was conducted by two male scientists of equal age. It was done by a very simple method. Families with one-year-olds brought their children to meet one of the researchers. He spent forty-five minutes with the children. They did not meet his colleague. Then, when the children were three and a half, they revisited the research facility. They were shown photographs of both men. The children focused on the man they didn’t recognise. Their tendency was to study the stranger’s face, as children often do when they meet new people. The children couldn’t say how they knew the familiar face. The study, however, demonstrated that even as babies, our memories function remarkably well. Task 2 Study the advertisement.

The famous island of Aruba is located in the Caribbean Sea. Its approximately 100,000 residents live mostly along the coast, although there are a few inland settlements. Compared with the rest of the Caribbean Islands, the inhabitants of Aruba live in a considerably drier climate. The island is strewn with cactus plants, and it’s relatively flat compared with neighbouring land masses. B. Although it doesn’t exist anymore, at one point Kowloon Walled City had more people living in it per square kilometre than any other city in the world. Over 30,000 people lived in the settlement, which was only the size of one city block. It was a dangerous place to live, full of health hazards and shoddy building standards. This is why the Chinese government eventually tore it down. C. Antarctica is not a continent many people have visited, or probably ever will. Almost completely covered in ice for the entire year, there are no towns or cities there, and the only permanent inhabitants are penguins, seals and other ocean-faring creatures. Antarctica is the coldest continent on Earth, with temperatures plummeting to almost -90 degrees Celsius in winter. Despite its icy surface, it hardly receives any rain. D. Los Angeles may seem like a glamorous place, but its motorways are jam-packed. Still, they’re the best way to get around the city, as the underground, although improved, is not always useful, and the bus system is complicated. Thus, it s essential to have a vehicle to get around, but to get right across the citv could take more than two hours, even driving at high speeds on the motorway. E. The village of Mawsynram, northeast India, has a special distinction to accompany its name. It receives more rainfall than any other place in the world. On average, almost 12 metres of rain fall in Mawsynram each year. That’s metres, not inches or centimetres. The village lies amongst hills where monsoon winds from southern India converge. It’s highly recommended to bring an umbrella if you visit! E Believe it or not, there is life at the very bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Seven miles below the surface, it’s pitch black because no sunlight reaches that far. There is little for anything to eat down there, and temperatures are not far above freezing point. What could possibly exist down there? And yet, this is the home of many small, fish-like creatures. G. Mount Everest is generally thought to be the tallest mountain in the world, but it depends on how you measure things. If you start from the very bottom of the base of a mountain, even if it’s below the sea. then Hawaii’s Mauna Kea would qualify as the tallest. From the sea floor to its peak, it’s 10,203 metres high, compared to Mount Everest’s 8,848 metres. Ответ:

In its over 200 years of existence, it has been ravaged by fire, A. But its survival of World War II is perhaps the most interesting period in its history. The palace was built in the late 18th century on land that belonged to Catherine the Great. She had passed the land down to her son, Paul I, and his wife, Maria, upon the birth of their son, Alexander I of Russia. Scottish architect Charles Cameron, a lover of Greek and Roman architecture, was hired to design the palace. His relationship with Catherine the Great was quite close, В. The three of them had competing interests for the interiors, each one disliking the others’ tastes. Eventually the palace was finished, and after Catherine the Greats passing, Paul I made it the official royal residence. His death in 1801 meant Alexander I would become emperor, C. The palace stayed in royal hands up until the Russian Revolution, when the royal family fled the country They left the palace to Alexander Polovotsoff, a prominent museum director, who fought to have it saved as a museum. His success meant that the palace survived, D. Just before its seizure, the museum staff hurried to save the art contained in the museum. Furniture was dismantled and shipped off, E. Perhaps the cleverest trick involved the statues. They were too heavy to evacuate, so the staff buried them in the gardens. They sank them three metres into the ground, F . They were right; after the occupation was over, the statues still remained. 1. occupied by foreign troops and nearly completely destroyed 2. and large antiquities were stored in a basement and walled up 3. but it would be seized by the Germans years later and used for military purposes 4. and he designated the house as his mother Marias official residence 5. believing the palace would best serve the country as a museum 6. but clashes would erupt between him, Paul and Maria over style issues 7. thinking the Germans wouldn’t dig that deep to look for them Ответ: A В c D 1

Here he was in paradise, surrounded by palm trees, white-sand beaches and crystal clear waters as far as the eye could see. But it wasn’t long before he realised that it’s a bit different actually working in paradise as opposed to being on holiday there. When he and some friends had visited the island for a holiday a couple of years before, he had fallen for the lifestyle hook, line and sinker. It had become his passion to find an excuse to live there extendedly. Of course, this meant he would actually have to do something while he was there to fund it all. It couldn’t be just days on end with nothing to do but lie on the beach or sit by a pool and chat about random things with the locals. There were all sorts of fantastic opportunities he had in mind: be a yoga instructor, give kayaking lessons to tourists, give tours of the cultural centres on the island. Not only did he have the dream location in mind, but he had the dream job in his sights as well. And of course there was the modest and traditional living accommodation he was sure he’d find, with big windows to let in the warm breeze throughout the day and a stunning ocean view. All of this a matter of steps away from the water he’d swum and surfed in as a holidaymaker. But things rarely turn out how we want them to be, and Martin’s case was no different. Without any real qualifications in any of the vocations he’d imagined, other than being armed with a sociology degree, Martin was forced to settle for whatever he could find. He accepted the first position he could actually manage to obtain, which was at a quaint resort a little way from the busy touristy area. He would work as a drinks server for little pay and few perks, aside from being by the seaside. And the dream house he thought would be easy to find turned out to be a little out of reach in terms of rent. He ended up being closer to the jungle than the sea. None of this was as a result of not trying; it was just going to be a while longer before Martin got all that his heart desired. As the weeks passed by, Martin’s island life slowly filled up with minor daily annoyances that took a certain change of perspective to handle. His move to Bali wasn’t intended to be an escape-from-it-all adventure; he still very much cherished the modern conveniences in life. He had to learn to anticipate that the internet wouldn’t always be on or that getting laundry done might take hours. Power cuts, while entertaining at first, can be a real pain when you’re actually trying to accomplish something. Eating became a real adventure as well, which Martin had got a taste of, so to speak, while he was there on holiday. He loved Indonesian food, but not all of it from every vendor was fit for consumption. Those charming power cuts meant that sometimes food had thawed, and then been refrozen. The flavour wasn’t the only thing lost in the process, if his occasional stomach aches were anything to go by. But Martin was determined to make it work. If the inconveniences frustrated him, he reminded himself not to cry over spilt milk. He told himself that, after all, if he had got everything he wanted in the first week, he might not appreciate his achievements as much, and there was plenty to appreciate on Bali.
12 13 14 Before Martin moved to Bali, he ... 1) was very unhappy with his life in general. 2) spent some time working there to see if he would like it. 3) was only thinking of the positive aspects of life there. 4) expected life there to be full of inconveniences. What did Martin think about lying on the beach and sitting by a pool? 1) It wasn’t something he’d ever be able to do. 2) It was the only thing to do in Bali. 3) It would be something he’d find very boring. 4) It would have to be an occasional thing. Martin’s dream jobs were all... 1) educational. 2) sporty. 3) travel-related. 4) hospitality-related. What kind of living arrangements did Martin want to secure? 1) A luxurious sort of place. 2) Anything he could find. Ответ: Ответ: Ответ: 3) Something in a good location. 4) A modern type of place. Ответ: ‘This’ in ‘None of this was as a result of not trying’ in the sixth paragraph refers to ... 1) the place Martin found. 3) the island life. 2) the results of Martins endeavours. 4) the rent he had to pay. Ответ: How did Martin feel about the power being cut in the beginning? 1) It didn’t bother him very much. 2) He became really annoyed. 3) He worried about being disconnected. 4) He thought he’d get used to it. Ответ: What does the phrase ‘cry over spilt milk’ in the last paragraph mean? 1) Get upset about spoiled food. 2) Worry about unimportant things. 3) Imagine serious health problems. 4) Give up on dreams.

They gain much from looking out to the open seas or at the lovely landscaped hills on the inland side. 31 j The work that the artists of St Ives do is so that a Tate gallery has been founded in the town and documentaries have been made to showcase the artists’ lives.

Can you imagine drawing a castle on a single grain of sand? An artist and a scientific researcher have joined forces to do just that. The artist first used a 100-year-old device to reflect images of real castles onto paper. He then traced these images onto the paper and sent them to the researcher. The researcher used technology similar to microscopic lasers to copy each image onto a grain of sand. The process took four years of trial and error to complete. The specific type of instrument could draw an extremely thin line. In fact, the line was only a tiny fraction of the width of a human hair. With the sand grain etched, the artist photographed the grain and enlarged the image. The technological marvel is a sight to see, and the applications for it are endless.

An increasingly disturbing problem in some of the world’s oceans is the collection of rubbish that washes up on faraway shores. The shorelines of the islands northwest of Hawaii - the ones hardlv anyone ever visits - are littered with discarded plastic items. You’d think these lovely and isolated places had been visited by the most irresponsible travellers ever to walk the face of the Earth. C. When was the last time you sat down to write a letter to a friend? It’s probably been a long while, and it may even be possible that you’ve never done such a thing, sending just the random, short-and-swee: email now and again. But this is how people used to communicate with one another, and there was a style and skill to it that has been largely forgotten. D. If you love the outdoors, you might consider taking something home with you to remember it bv. It may be a unique stone or a shell from a beach. It’s a lovely idea, and if done responsibly - that is. if you’re not taking huge amounts of things with you - then it can make a lovely souvenir to displav alongside items from other places you’ve visited. E. Although not as popular as it used to be, stamp collecting is a hobby that some people still inves: time in. If you’ve ever really studied a stamp, you can see that there’s usually a lovely piece of artwork contained in the tiny square.

The journey within I’ve met people who, much to my envy, were not on a mission to find themselves. Whether it’s just their nature, or that they’ve managed to find the answer already, some people seem to know their purpose and have known it for a long time. Perhaps there are some people who just don’t ask. I am not one of those people, and that is why 1 have found myself in the desert. My decision to leave mv familiar surroundings and venture abroad was a selfish one wrapped in the packaging of helping others, which I’ve accepted now. I may not have freely admitted that fact, or even known it, in the beginning. But I’m primarily an English teacher in Jordan because I was on a mission to help myself. It just looks as though I’m helping others, and that’s the naked truth. It’s not completely one-sided, as I certainly like my students and I know they appreciate what I do. To be honest, I’d rather have fun with them kicking a ball around a dusty alleyway than teach them grammar I’m the world’s worst at class management, and I’m surprised I haven’t been fired yet. They just haven: caught onto me. Hopefully I will have mastered the art before that happens. I’m not wholly selfish, either. I commit random acts of selflessness quite often. I’ve given an old laptop a neighbour who could barely afford a desk to put it on. I’ve had newfound friends round to the house for dinner, even though I burnt it and had to get takeaway. And I’m earning very low wages, doing work for which I’d be paid many times more back home. Does that count as selfless? I’ve come to terms with the fact that finding yourself is an endless mission if you allow it to be. If you never answer the questions 4Who am I?’ and ‘What is my purpose in life?’, it’s not because there isn’t an answer It’s because you don’t want to know the answer, because then what you would do after finding it? Or, if veu find the answer, it means you have to commit to it. Our generation is not used to commitment. So mam of us let opportunities slip through our fingers because were too scared to say ‘That’s me. That’s who I am Or we say it, then change our minds a month down the road, ending up more lost than before. The journey has clearly had a profound effect on me. I’ve endured dust storms for days on end to learn what it is that I want from life. I’ve been on bus rides that took an hour to go a couple of kilomemes because the streets were jammed with traffic. I can’t complain, because it’s part of what I wanted, and Im beginning to think it’s the journey itself that I seek, not the destination. Can’t that be something to aspm to be - a seeker of journeys, of questions without answers, of beginnings without ends? I sense that most of my colleagues have travelled down this road and reached the end of it, but hm t become cynical in the process. My favourite colleague - the one I envy the most - has never even askm the question. He’s simply a lover of adventure who likes to blow his own trumpet. True, he boasts m much about how great a teacher he is, but his energy and zest for life are refreshing. He definitely falls m:: the category of ‘doer’ not ‘thinker’. That’s not to say he doesn’t think, of course, but he spends verv lime time sorting out his thoughts. It doesn’t seem that he needs to.

You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it. It takes great deal of effort to manage a farm. The basics may be easy to learn, but son e aspects of farming are quite complex. A certain level of farming education is therefore necessary. For instance, some farmers don’t always know how to use fertiliser correctlv. Fertiliser helps plants grow and produce more fruit and vegetables. Too much of it, however, doesn’t help the plant and causes pollution. When farmers water their crops some of that water runs off. This contains some of the fertiliser. It ends up in lakes and streams and eventually in the supply of water we drink and wash in. A simple government programme can make a big difference in educating farmers. It can help make them aware of the environmental impact of farming. This in turn can help reduce water pollution.

Test 11 Раздел 2. Чтение Установите соответствие между текстами А-G и заголовками 1-8. Занесите свои ответы в таблицу. Используйте каждую цифру только один раз. В задании один заголовок лишний. 1. Teacher’s pet 2. Musical inspiration 3. The fashion victim 4. Creative genius 5. Practical joker 6. Popularity contest 7. The quiet type 8. The know-all A. These students tend to be a mystery to the others in the classroom. They often sit at the back of the class, and they keep to themselves. They seem to be really clever, but you’d never know by the things they say, as they only speak on the rarest of occasions. Maybe they’re just a bit shy and haven’t come out of their shells yet. B. There is a bit of a stigma around doing certain things at school. Some students avoid these things because they think they might be perceived as nerds. For example, they might not want to join the school orchestra in case they’d get a negative label, but the truth is that anyone who can play an instrument has special talent that, one day, the others will be envious of. C. Some students can’t keep their hands down when the teacher asks a question in class. Or, indeed, they don’t even wait to be called on. They just blurt out the answers. There’s no question that they can’t answer. It can be infuriating for the others, but these students might make good study partners for an exam, if they really are the fount of knowledge they appear to be. D. Every school’s got a student who likes to talk to everyone in the school, even the head teacher on occasion! They’ve always got something to say, and everyone loves them because they’re witty and charming. They may not be the brightest person in school, or the most talented, but they are by far the most sociable. It might even seem that they’re competing for the title of Most Well-Liked at School. E. All students have their own unique perspectives on life, but some see things in a completely different light compared to their classmates. Perhaps they strive to do this, or it simply comes naturally. They’re often able to create the most surprising piece of writing or paint the loveliest scene from everyday life, the ones we take for granted. Talent like this mustn’t be wasted. F. There must be one of this type of student in every single school. This is the one who’s always trying to be funny, although sometimes they’re more of a nuisance. They try to get you to believe something that’s not true, for example, but it’s all in good fun of course. Sometimes they really get you, and other times, you know what they’re up to and you’re not falling for it! G. Some kids in school are the envy of their classmates, but it might be for all the wrong reasons. The other students look at them and are sometimes jealous of what they’re wearing, but if you look a bit more closely, you realise that they’re imprisoned by their desire to look good. They could never step out of the house in an uncool tracksuit. It would be a sin! Ответ: 150

The new wind turbine Green energy has become a focus in technological advancement, as scientists are looking for ways to create or harness energy without damaging the planet. The wind turbine is one of the biggest breakthroughs in renewable energy, and as a result, A. Although the traditional wind turbine has shown great benefits, it is not without flaws. One of the obvious problems is that some days are just not that windy; however, in the higher layers of our atmosphere, it is always windy. Scientists have been watching this never-ending power source very closely, В. So, they’ve designed new types of wind turbines, known as airborne wind turbines, which can reach this higher layer. One specific model is known as BAT, or buoyant airborne turbine, which is similar to a giant balloon. It’s filled with helium, which allows it to rise high in the sky, C. In the centre of the balloon is a turbine, and the balloon itself is tied to the ground with cables that carry the turbine’s electricity down to Earth. Extremely light and portable, D. The company that has developed this technology says it will be the answer to rural power needs. People who live in remote areas often can’t take advantage of renewable energy because setting up traditional wind turbines is very costly. And if they can’t even connect to the national grid, as is the case in some places in Alaska, E. Hopefully with this new technology, more people will be able to live a greener life. The BAT is just one type of airborne wind turbine; F, or at least to provide a variety of turbines to suit different needs. 1. and some have described it as looking like an inflatable doughnut 2. they have to run expensive petrol-powered generators 3. there are fewer wind turbines in this location for people to use 4. and they’re looking to discover a way to make better use of it 5. they can be seen dotted across landscapes around the world 6. there are more being developed in the search for the perfect design 7. the balloon can be set up in remote places far away from electricity grids Ответ: A В C D E F

Sleep problems I had been known to sleepwalk as a child, often getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, but not knowing I had done so. I had a habit of leaving the bathroom light on, which is what should have given it away, after weeks of my parents scolding my sister and me for failing to turn it off. The thing is, we always did turn it off, or so we thought. It was my sister, actually, who discovered the problem, to her astonishment, when she got up to use the bathroom herself, and found me in front of the bathroom basin washing my hands. She said she’d waited for me to finish, and when I did, I walked right past her with a blank stare on my face. She’d asked me if I was OK; I’d said nothing and gone back to bed. When she mentioned it that morning, I had no recollection of the event, and I flatly denied that it had happened. Days later, my sister encountered exactly the same situation, which I again refused to believe, although with a bit less determination. I was beginning to sense there was a problem. I began to question my own memory as well. It was of great concern to my parents, who assumed that something awful would happen to me during one of the episodes. What if I went for a walk round the block, in my pyjamas? They told my sister to lock our bedroom door at night, and then to hide the key, after I actually found it and used it on one occasion. We considered consulting a sleep therapist; however, the locked door seemed to do the trick, and the episodes stopped. Flash forward to my life as a young adult. I was living alone and I began to notice some peculiar things around my flat, worse than just a left-on bathroom light, although not dangerously so. I would go to get something which 1 was sure was in the fridge, only to find it missing. I would see dirty saucepans on the cooker, something which as a self-professed cleaning freak I would never leave for the next day. 1 realised that I’d re-started my childhood habit. I had heard stories of people driving while asleep, so I started hiding my car keys from myself in different places every night, in the hope that I wouldn’t remember where I had put them. I sometimes didn’t when I was awake! I decided that before things got out of hand, I would visit a sleep clinic. I set up an appointment and met a professional who suggested I stayed in their clinic overnight. The facilities were very comfortable and the staff helpful and pleasant. Most of the patients were there for minor sleeping problems, which was the category I felt I fell into, as opposed to the few with more disturbing sleep issues, such as not sleeping for days, or falling asleep randomly and without control. I was asked whether or not I wanted to take medication, which I was advised wouldn’t - and couldn’t - be a permanent routine. I decided against it, preferring to try other methods. You see, there are no defining triggers to sleepwalking. In other words, it’s hard to hit the nail on the head when it comes to finding the cause and prescribing remedies. Instead, the therapist helped me to try and work out what might be disrupting my sleep; if it was stress, not sleeping to a schedule, doing too many things before bedtime, and so on. I had to see which of those things might be my trigger, and change it so that I’d stop my sleepwalking for good. 152

You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it. Jet lag occurs when we travel long distances by plane. Our sleep rhythms are thrown out of balance because we are moving into very different time zones so quickly. The further we travel, the stronger the effect is. Our sleep patterns are deeply affected by sunlight. rlhe light that strikes our eyes sends information to our brains. rIhis data tells us we need to be awake or asleep. If sunlight changes drastically, for example, when we take a twelve-hour flight to a faraway place, it can take days to adjust. The science behind this phenomenon tells us that we should regulate our exposure to sunlight when we travel. An app exists that can be added to a smartphone. It tells you when you need darkness, and when you need light. It can greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to correct jet lag. Task 2 Study the advertisement.

Living by yourself 2. Personal discoveries 3. A clean home 4. Simple home repairs 5. Difficult travels 6. Personal possessions 7. Living in harmony 8. Difficult tasks A. Setting up an aquarium in your home is a fairly simple process, but maintaining it is important if you want the fish to survive. You’ve got to make sure the water filter gets changed every so often, and you must regularly replace some of the dirty water with fresh water. Doing this ensures the health of your fish; after all, they have to live in that tank! B. There are some things almost anyone can do to improve a bathroom, like installing a new shower curtain. Other things like blocked drains or faulty pipes are more tricky, and usually need the assistance of a professional. They’re probably not jobs you want to undertake on your own, as without skill and experience, you might end up with a disaster like a floor flooded with water. C. Sharing your things with others is a good way to build character and promote generosity. However, you need to have some things that you can say are yours alone, and belong to no one else. This is true for many electronic devices, such as mobile phones and laptops. Having to constantly share something like that with a sibling, for example, can be a nuisance. D. Taking a guided tour can be a hassle-free way of seeing sights in a new town, but there’s a bit of adventure lacking from such things. It’s a great feeling to freely wander round a new city armed with your own map and a keen sense of direction. With a bit of planning and some courage, you might just embark on the most memorable of journeys. E. Caring for fish doesn’t take a lot of know-how; however, certain fish can’t live together peacefully. You should consult an expert who knows about fish and which varieties can happily share space with one another. Some varieties of fish absolutely cannot live with other fish in the tank, so make sure you do your research before you put random fish together. F. Putting your faith in a guided tour can sometimes be... well, misguided. It all depends on how extensive the tour guide’s knowledge of the sights is and how passionate they are about showing them to you. Another problem can be the sheer number of activities packed into the tour. You might find yourself exhausted after the first day. Sometimes quality is better than quantity. G. For many things round the house that need attention, there’s no need to hire a professional. If you’ve got a light fixture that you want to replace, you should be able to climb up a ladder and unhook it as long as you’ve turned the power off. If you’ve got a loose tap, you might be able to fix it with just the use of the right tool. Ответ: A В C D E F G

Anatoli Tarasov It takes a tough coach to lead a team to victory, even though such a coach may bring controversy This was the case for Anatoli Tarasov, one of ice hockeys greatest coaching legends A. Tarasov, a former ice hockey player himself, was tasked with building an ice hockey team from scratch for the Soviet Union after World War II. At that time, ice hockey was not very popular, but Tarasov had fallen in love with it, was particularly skilful at it В. So, Tarasov founded the ice hockey department at CSKA Moscow, the country’s leading sports club. His early career didn’t see a great deal of success, and he was replaced by a rival coach, Arkady Chernyshev, who didn’t fare much better. However, the two men then joined forces and won consecutive titles for over a decade, C. Tarasov had his own style of training his athletes. He focused heavily on simple drills to perfect specific skills and he required all of his players to be in constant motion during the drills, D. Tarasov was an ambitious coach, but his ambitions sometimes displeased others. He once marched his team off the rink in protest at a bad call by a referee. This resulted in his removal as coach, and E. Still intent on being involved with the sport, Tarasov remained a guiding force for the team, often sitting near the coaching bench at subsequent matches. In one particular moment of irritation at witnessing his team gradually losing a match, Tarasov jumped in F. His actions led the team to victory.

Head boy For Thomas, being chosen as head boy at his school was the greatest honour he had ever known. It was also a huge responsibility, having to represent the school at public events and give speeches on occasion. He looked forward to speaking for his school; he didn’t suffer from the same fear of public speaking that most people in the world possess. He attributed this to his skills in theatre and the number of performances he had participated in since childhood. Becoming head boy had taken quite a lot of convincing on Thomas’s part. When he met the head teacher at his school, a stern but deeply kind lady who prided herself on demanding the best from her students no matter how difficult the challenge, he couldn’t help but feel a bit intimidated. He had to prove to this cornerstone of the teaching establishment that he was fit to lead his students, to listen to their concerns and to put them before his own. He had a difficult task ahead of him, for it was his responsibility to always project the school in a positive light. More than that, he had to promote proper behaviour through setting an example, but also by monitoring the other students and reporting those with less than appropriate mannerisms. While he was well-liked in school, he imagined he would probably make some enemies along the way. At least that’s what his brother had warned him about. Daniel had been his predecessor three years earlier. Naturally, he gave him hints and tips about how to be successful at being chosen as well as fulfilling duties. But the pressure to excel was immense, as the other students tended to watch you like a hawk. They were waiting for you to step out of line, as they feared you might be looking at them the same way. In addition to the general student body, there was the student council to manage. This was the committee of students who had been elected by other students to represent their interests in discussions with the teachers. Thomas had to stay on top of things there as well, to make sure the elected members were fulfilling their duties on the council. It was another layer of responsibility that only a brilliant head boy or head girl could manage. Thomas felt he was up to the challenge, even though his brother conveyed to him that he might run out of steam towards the end of the school year. In addition to his homework assignments, he would be tasked with writing letters to the education ministry to improve school facilities. He would be responsible for leading weekly meetings of the student council, which required a great deal of organising. He would have to organise student volunteer projects and see to it that the young adults with special needs in the local community were included in student events. His evenings and weekends would have to be dedicated to fulfilling these needs. He realised being a successful head boy would demand a considerable sacrifice, but he viewed it as a learning experience that would prepare him for his future. Great things came of head boys and girls, for learning how to be a leader at such a young age paved the way for success in later life. His first duty was to draft a proposal for a Model United Nations conference, in which students would act as delegates from various countries to discuss world issues. It was a tall order for a first assignment, and even though he and the student council seemed eager for the challenge, Thomas knew he had his work cut out for him.
Test 12 12 Thomas believed he would be good at public speaking because ... 1) he was naturally a good speaker. 2) his past experience had prepared him well. 3) he thought it was something that was easy for anyone to do. 4) he had learnt the skill of public speaking as a child. Ответ: 13 14 How does Thomas describe the head teacher? 1) Warm and generous. 3) Unfairly harsh. 2) A bit frightening. 4) Unfriendly. How did Thomas feel other students would view him as head boy? 1) Some may not like him. 2) He would be roundly admired. 3) He would be the most hated kid in school. 4) Students would be insincere towards him. Ответ: Ответ: 15 Thomas’s brother advised him on how to ... 1) get on well with teachers. 2) become head boy. 3) keep up with homework. 4) get out of doing his duties. Ответ: 16 What does the expression ‘run out of steam’ in the fifth paragraph mean? 1) Have no good ideas. 3) Become exhausted. 2) Lose faith in school. 4) Escape a problem. Ответ: 17 As far as the other members of the student council went, Thomas ... 1) worked independently from them. 2) was in charge of making sure they did their jobs. 3) had to answer to their demands. 4) selected the ones he felt would be best for the roles. Ответ: 18 ‘It’ in ‘he viewed it as a learning experience’ in the seventh paragraph refers to ... 1) the things Thomas had to give up. 2) the future he had before him. 3) the things he would be doing that weekend. 4) the role that Thomas had undertaken.

After returning, they made an unusual discovery when they planted them. The seeds had been taken from a famous old tree near a temple in Japan. The tree is thought to be over 1,000 years old. Normally, this type of cherry tree does not bloom until after ten full years of growth. When it does bloom, the individual flowers have about 30 petals. The seeds that the astronauts had taken into space grew at a much faster rate. The trees bloomed after just four years of growth. Also, the flowers only contained about five petals each. Scientists cannot explain why this happened. It must have been something the seeds were exposed to in space that changed their growth rate. ask i Study the advertisement.

Planning for a trip can be almost as exciting as going on it. You imagine how much you’re going to enjoy arriving at your destination, getting settled into your hotel and going out on that first night in a new town. Just make sure you bring the right clothes; even if you travel to a warm location, it might be chilly at night. B. Airports can be dizzying experiences. There are signs and information everywhere, and loads of people running round, trying to do lots of things at once. In this chaos, it’s easy to misplace something, like the piece of paper or card that allows you on the plane. It’s best to keep it in your front pocket so you know where it is and it’s easy to hand it over to the attendant. C. Travel preferences vary widely, but a large percentage of people choose fun and sun. There is lots to be done in preparation for such a trip, but as sun lotion is essential, you should remember to buy that at the very least Buying it at home can save you 30 per cent on the price, and you should buy a new bottle every year, as the old stuff doesn’t protect as well. D. We all prepare for the worst case scenario when we travel abroad, even though we don’t think about it all the time. Most of us have got mobile phones, which keep all our contacts stored for us. But what happens if you lose it? This is why you should also keep a handwritten list. It would be a shame if something terrible happened and you couldn’t reach your own home. E. When you go on holiday, you should never carry a great deal of cash with you, but you need to have some on hand to pay for the odd things at the airport, like meals or last minute travel purchases. Most airports have cash machines, but it might be a good idea to have a small amount in your purse or wallet before you arrive. F. Being in a new city means you’re not likely to know your way around. Walking the streets aimlessly is not ideal or even safe, so you need a paper or electronic guide that shows you where things are and how to get around the streets. It’s especially good if it shows where the hotels, museums and sights of interests are located, and how to find bus routes or metro stations, too. G. Governments have put a lot of effort into travel documents to make sure they’re state-of the art. Nowadays, they come with microchips that contain all of the data in your passport in an electronic form. This is a way to prevent counterfeiting of these documents and to ensure that the holder of the documents is the true owner. It is yet another way to make our travel safer. A В C D E F G

Wales Wales shares a great deal of its history with the rest of Great Britain, but it has its own distinctive identity that is closer to the Celtic regions of the British Isles, such as Ireland, Scotland and Cornwall, and also to Brittany in northern France. These regions make up the Celtic nations, A. Wales, like Scotland and England, is considered to be a country within the country of the United Kingdom. This is because the region is distinctly different from other regions in aspects like history and culture, В. Although Wales is represented in the United Kingdoms House of Commons, the lower house of the UK’s parliament, it is also partly self-governed. Some Welsh people wish for independence, C. Polls show that around 80-90% of Welsh people do not favour separation from the UK. Nearly everyone in Wales speaks English, but Wales is officially a bilingual country, the other official language being Welsh. Wales is known as Cymru in the Welsh language, pronounced ‘kum-ree’, and the Welsh people are known as Cymry, D. Indeed, the influence of the rest of the UK on Wales has been strong and the use of English so widespread that the Welsh language was feared to be dying out. A law passed in 1993 officially placed the Welsh language on a par with English in the country. Court proceedings can be carried out in Welsh or English, E. Furthermore, there are different dialects and forms of pronunciation of Welsh within the country. Differences are noted between the northern and southern regions, and a combination of English and Welsh, commonly known as ‘Wenglish’, has emerged F. 1. which is pronounced in the same way as the country’s name 2. which mixes words, grammar and pronunciation from the two languages 3. of which Wales is an integral and influential part 4. and road signs and public documents are printed in both languages 5. although it doesn’t have embassies and is subject to most UK laws 6. of which a large number of Welsh people approve 7. although support for it is not particularly strong Ответ: A В C D E F
Test 13 Прочитайте текст и выполните задания 12-18. В каждом задании запишите в поле ответа цифру 1, 2, 3 или 4, соответствующую выбранному Вами варианту ответа. A banking crisis Becky was in a hurry and really didn’t have the time for sorting out password issues on her computer She had been locked out of her online bank account after entering the password incorrectly more than three times, and she needed to access it to pay bills that were due that day. Aside from being a sloppy typist, the number of times she had to change her passwords left her unable to remember them correctly. It didn’t help that she had a computer file that listed all her current passwords, as she didn’t always update it. So she began the difficult journey of setting up a new password, which only added to her current frustration. She phoned the bank, as she wasn’t able to receive a new one electronically, as per bank policy. Irritating as that was, she pressed on, as she was keen to avoid the massive penalty she’d incur if she paid her bill late. It was a tax bill, after all, and the government never failed to fine those who did not handle their obligations in a timely fashion. She hoped she could avoid having to visit the bank, as it generally had terribly long queues, and as it was getting late in the day, she doubted she’d get served that day anyway. During her phone call she was passed between several different departments, and finally, after being on hold for several minutes and pacing around her flat impatiently, she was greeted with bad news. The bank representative asked for a telephone banking password, which Becky didn’t even know existed. Exasperated, she hung up without even asking what she should do next. It was now all but certain that she would miss the deadline for paying her bill. She could have arranged to pay it late and avoid the penalty, but getting locked out of her online account wasn’t something she’d anticipated. She was deeply unhappy with the level of difficulty she experienced in doing what she believed should have been a simple online transaction. It was a transaction that she had done several times before, with success, but her occasional clumsiness and mild lack of organisation got the best of her that day. Completely focused on the unfairness of it, she gave no consideration to what banks do to protect information, and no thought to what might happen if someone hacked into her bank account and stole her entire savings. In Becky’s mind at that particular moment, it was all about the supreme inconvenience of technology. Passwords had become so much more sophisticated recently, it seemed, so that something as simple as a pet’s name or a date of birth was now considered ‘weak’ and unacceptable to the system. Passwords had to have letters, numbers and one capitalised letter, and this was good for only a short period of time, after which they would need to be changed. Becky had long run out of ideas for new ones, so hers had become a meaningless jumble of numbers and letters. ‘Why couldn’t fill suffice?’ Becky said as she hurled her account details onto the table in the hall. She wasn’t normally so irrational, but her outburst allowed her to let off steam in the only way she felt she could. She phoned up her accountant to see if he could help. His first words were ‘You’ll have to go into the bank to get a new password,’ which merely added fuel to the fire. Becky let out a big ‘Ugh!’ which was OK because her accountant, Kyle, was an old mate from university. She could be really grumpy with him and he’d forgive her. But his very flat, simple response - however innocent - was probably not the best thing for Becky to hear.
Test 13 12 Becky was locked out of her online account because ... 1) she’d completely forgotten her password. 2) her computer suffered a glitch. 3) she had problems typing her password correctly. 4) she owed money to her bank.

Ответ: 14 The bill Becky wanted to pay... 15 1) was already late. 3) was too expensive to pay. 2) didn’t need to be paid for a few days. 4) would cost more if not paid that day. Ответ: What happened when Becky called the bank for help? 1) They refused, on account of her anger. 2) They asked her for information she couldn’t provide. 3) They never responded to her after she’d been on hold for a long time. 4) They told her to phone another department. Ответ: 16 17 ‘It’ in ‘Completely focused on the unfairness of it’ in the fourth paragraph refers to ... 1) Becky’s clumsiness. 2) the difficulty of trying to do a simple transaction. 3) how banks treated their customers. 4) the lack of security for online accounts. Ответ: What kind of passwords would Becky prefer to use? 1) Ones that were connected to her life somehow. 2) The most secure, theft-free password she could think of. 3) The simplest password she could possibly think of. 4) Ones that she could easily change on a regular basis. Ответ: 18 The expression ‘added fuel to the fire’ in the last paragraph means ... 1) deliberately made someone feel angry. 2) did something that made something worse. 3) did something to help a situation. 4) made someone feel better about their mistake.

Getting back to nature City life has caused people to lose touch with nature. 26 This is true for children who grow up in cities SPECIAL and never have much of a chance to experience nature aside from public parks. 27 28 29 30 It’s quite different from how many of their parents grew up, when 71% of children regularly played outside. Ask today’s children if they like climbing trees, and it’s that they will ever have tried it. The resulting loss of our childrens with nature means they’re missing out on opportunities to make discoveries about plants and wildlife, and to build a love and respect for the natural world. Instead, children spend a lot of their time watching television, playing video games or surfing the internet. School are beginning to notice this problem and have begun to address it. More and more schools are taking children to nature reserves on school trips in an effort to this lost appreciation of nature. PROBABLE RELATION ADMINISTRATE CLAIM The experience allows children to enjoy some time outside 31 in a way. It helps relieve the pressure that they MEANING face from their studies while providing a learning experience as well.

You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it. Dogs are thought to be intelligent creatures. They can remember approximately 165 words on average. This includes visual signals and other signs. A trained dog can learn even more words, up to 250. Some studies demonstrate that dogs are as clever as a two-year-old child. This has been measured in a couple of ways. Firstly, a dog knows about the same number of words as a child of this age. Additionally, there is a mirror test that is used to measure awareness. Dogs never really understand their reflection in the mirror. They think it’s another dog. Children are like this, too, until they’re about three. Like many other animals, dogs sense some things far better than humans. They’re often able to understand social situations faster, such as who is the most dominant animal in a pack. ask 2 Study the advertisement. Summer fair this Saturday at Pelham Park.

While they know it’s wrong to do, and it should result in punishment for all involved, students occasionally throw their lunch at one another. You’ve seen it in films, and while it rarely happens in real life, it must happen from time to time, mustn’t it? It looks quite fun to do, although not so much fun for the school’s housekeeping staff who have to clean up the mess. B. When fighting forest fires, firemen face some of the most dangerous conditions that any person could face. Temperatures soar to heights that the human body can’t handle, which is why firemen must wear heavy, flame-resistant clothing. Falling debris is a problem, too, as branches snap from the trees and fall to the ground, so helmets are essential to protect the head. C. Many people suffer from allergies, which can be caused by a number of things. Probably the worst time of the year for sufferers is after winter has finished and temperatures begin to rise. Trees grow leaves, flowers bloom, and all of this places particles in the air that get up our noses and cause us to itch, sneeze, cough and get watery eyes. D. How many personality types are there? Some say there are up to nine, but surely there are more than that. One personality type describes people who are always cautious. These people are careful to stay out of danger and they avoid risk at all costs. They might seem rather conservative, but these people have an important function. They’re the ones that are going to keep us safe above all. E. Health professionals and nutritionists have recently discovered that wheat can actually cause an allergic reaction in some people. Its a shame, really, because this means that these people have to avoid eating bread, pasta, cakes and many other basic staples. Eating these foods can cause coughing, clogged nasal passages and even skin rashes. Luckily, there are medications that can lessen the effects of wheat allergies. F. When April and May come round, some schools prepare a special occasion where students can relax and have a good time. Students dress up in nice outfits, meet in the school hall and enjoy listening to music from a DJ or a local band. It’s an opportunity for them to show off their moves on the floor and really let loose. G. Some people have a personality type that pushes them to task risks. They’re the type of people who take great pleasure in doing dangerous things, such as bungee jumping, rock climbing or racing cars. Playing it safe is just not in their nature, so while they enjoy the greatest thrills in life, they sometimes get themselves in a bit of trouble. Ответ: A В C D E F G

A big change Julie had had long hair since she was 8 years old. She used to keep it plaited during the summer and occasionally she would curl it for a special occasion. She didn’t mind the time it took to take care of it, and actually took great pride in keeping it healthy, shiny and well brushed. But she had just turned 17, and she was beginning to feel that her hair was a symbol of her childhood, holding her back from being the young adult she wanted to be. So she booked an appointment at her hair salon and told her hairdresser of her plans. She arrived at the salon full of both excitement and concern, that somehow she was beginning a new phase of her life, but she would look radically different. It seemed both simple and complex at the same time: she considered it simple when she wanted to calm her nerves about taking a big step, but it became complex when she thought about how she was losing something that had been a part of her for so long. When her hairdresser called her into the chair, Julie got a sick feeling in her stomach, but she tried to tell herself, ‘It’s just a haircut’, and she must have repeated that to herself ten times by the time she made it to the chair. Her hairdresser asked her how she was feeling, and there was no covering it up: ‘I’m nervous!’ she replied. Her hairdresser asked her if this is what she really wanted to do, and whether perhaps they should just do a trim. Julie said in her most convincing voice - in an effort to convince herself most of all - ‘No, it’s time to let go.’ Her hairdresser combed her hair, taking a few moments to do so, and with each passing moment, Julie was on tenterhooks, knowing that the hairdresser’s hands would soon be holding scissors which would slice through her hair, taking just seconds to do so Her hairdresser asked her how school was, and Julie replied without thinking, ‘It’s fine. I’ve got a lot of difficult classes and I’m quite busy all the time.’ The truth was that she found her classes to be quite easy and she was busy sometimes, but not all of the time. She didn’t know why she’d lied - she simply couldn’t concentrate on anything other than what the hairdresser was about to do. Her hairdresser put the comb down and picked up the scissors. ‘This is the moment of truth. Are we going ahead then?’ her hairdresser asked sincerely. Julie took a deep breath and nodded her head affirmatively Her hairdresser took each section of hair at a time and chopped several centimetres off. It was soon done, but the sense of relief that Julie had hoped would come over her, didn’t. It remained far from her, and she was even more nervous than before. Her hairdresser finished trimming the ends so that the style was even, and she cut some of the hair around Julie’s face so that her face was better framed. Julie looked in the mirror, if only for a brief moment, and she felt like a totally different person, but less confident than she’d imagined and more like someone who was unsure of the world. Her hairdresser, sensing Julie’s unease, told her she’d get used to it and assured her she looked beautiful. Those kind words were quite helpful for Julie’s mood, and as she left the salon, she began to forget about her nervousness. In fact, after walking down the street a few blocks, she randomly caught her reflection in a window. She saw the person she had wanted to see all along, and she finally felt satisfied with her decision.

Ответ: 14 15 What helped Julie to feel less worried about her upcoming haircut? 1) Giving it a great deal of thought. 2) Thinking of it as if it was no big deal. 3) Discussing it with her hairdresser. 4) Arriving at the hair salon. On the way to the hairdresser’s chair, Julie ... 1) tried to talk herself out of having the haircut. 2) spoke continually to the hairdresser. 3) managed to make herself feel better. 4) did what she could to calm down. The expression ‘on tenterhooks’ in the fourth paragraph means ... 1) sitting on something uncomfortable. 2) becoming more certain about a decision. 3) being excited about an event. 4) feeling worried about an upcoming result. Ответ: Ответ: Ответ: 16 17 Why did Julie tell her hairdresser something untrue about her studies? 1) She didn’t want to reveal details about her life. 2) She didn’t realise what she was saying at the time. 3) She thought it would make her sound more confident. 4) She always told lies when she was nervous. ‘It’ in ‘told her she’d get used to it’ in the last paragraph refers to ... 1) feeling less confident. 2) feeling that she was beautiful. 3) looking after her new style. 4) looking very different from before. Ответ: Ответ: 18 The first two occasions when she saw herself after her haircut gave Julie ... 1) different feelings. 3) positive feelings. 2) similar feelings. 4) negative feelings.

Mobile phones often double as cameras. The quality of these types of cameras has improved significantly too. We are even beginning to see cameras installed in eyewear. Researchers have built cameras so small, they can fit on the frame of a persons glasses. These cameras can even record video. It’s like something out of a spy novel, except it’s now a reality. A consumer can actually buy a pair of glasses such as these. Even more remarkable is the idea of placing a camera in a contact lens. It has been done, although the technology is in its early stages. The makers hope it can help blind people to detect things around them. There are no plans to turn it into a consumer product, at least not yet. Task 2 Study the advertisement.

Cities from above 5. Famous residences 2. River crossings 6. Underground travels 3. Honouring peace 7. A famous fight 4. Historic towns 8. High-rise living A. Great historical battlegrounds are often marked on maps so people can visit them and learn about the sacrifices others made for a cause. In Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA, is the site of the Battle of Gettysburg, which was a turning point m the American Civil War. The area is now preserved as a national landmark in memory of an important time in American history. B. Some very famous people have had their birthplaces turned into museums. This is true of Elvis, the ‘king’ of rock and roll, who was born in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors can enter his home and see where he slept, ate, and spent his free time. In England, one of the many examples of this is in Portsmouth, where people can visit the birthplace of Charles Dickens, which is also a museum. C. Visiting a famous tower or high-rise building has the added bonus that not only can you view the building, but you can go to the top and view an entire city. Take the Eiffel Tower or the Empire State Building, for example. Both are located in famous cities, both are majestic to see from the ground, and both allow visitors to climb to the top and see for kilometres in every direction. D. High in the Peruvian Andes lies Machu Picchu, an Inca settlement founded hundreds of years ago. People from all over the world flock to this site because it is one of the most peculiar settlements of any ancient civilisation. Situated almost 2,500 metres above sea level, it was a difficult place to reach all those many years ago, and the views of the settlement are breath-taking. E. Located in northern Greece are a number of bridges that have fascinated architects for years. People in the field often travel to study these bridges, which are a marvel to look at, to imagine how they were built hundreds of years ago. The techniques used to build them are still applicable today, and aside from their marvellous construction, they are located in rugged terrain that is equally stunning to view. E Cities in the world that have existed for thousands of years - think Athens, Rome, Cairo and Damascus - have areas today that are considered bld towns’, which have a great deal of character and are magnificent to wander around. While the old towns haven’t existed as long as the cities have been inhabited, they were built hundreds of years ago and give those who visit them a taste of a different era. G. Many of the world’s greatest cities have massive structures built to commemorate a turning point in a country’s history. Paris’s Arc de Triomphe honours victory in the French wars and Napoleonic wars that occurred at the turn of the 19th century. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate was built as a symbol of peace in 18th-century Prussia. Aside from honouring history, they are attractive monuments and give an air of grandeur to their cities.

Egg whites Health-food crazes change not only the eating habits of a lot of people, but also the supply and demand of food. It has recently become quite popular to order omelettes made with egg whites only, A. Because of their supposed health benefits, and because the yolk is high in fat and cholesterol, the whites are in high demand and the yolks are being tossed aside. And the trend doesn’t just affect omelettes. Health-conscious Americans have moved beyond the yolk- free omelette В. Although not so much of a problem in the UK, as the egg-white craze hasn’t really taken off there yet, the US is facing a shortage of egg whites. Egg suppliers there have noted an increase in the sales price of egg whites to nearly double what it was in the recent past, C. A curious question is where all the unused yolks go. Considering that it’s such a huge waste, one might wonder how responsible this eating habit is for the world’s food supply. One company that supplies egg whites says that every single yolk that they separate from the egg is sold to other food companies. Still, for restaurants that buy whole eggs and discard the yolks to make their omelettes, D. On top of that, recent studies have demonstrated that egg yolks are not that bad for you. In fact, the yolks, although fatty and higher in calories, contain all the nutrients, E. Nonetheless, the egg-white craze may be here for a while. Supporters claim there’s no better way to get the amount of protein an egg white provides, without calories or fat. The only deterrent could possibly be flavour, F. 1. and the role they play in raising cholesterol in our bodies is small 2. the bulk of the yolks are seen going down the drain 3. the clear part of the egg which is fat-free and high in protein 4. as egg whites are not known to be full of it 5. to demand egg white-only burritos, sandwiches and shakes 6. the worldwide demand for egg whites seems to be on the rise 7. and supplies of egg whites are at an all-time low Ответ: A В C D E F

A cat’s adventures When we first got our cat Gina, I thought taking care of her would be a rather leisurely activity. But Gina has the most peculiar of behaviours, and I’m not just referring to her tendency to chase after the occasional trapped house fly or her love of licking drips from the sink tap. She does something that I imagine few other cats in the world would do. If you can believe this, she commutes by bus every single day to the zoo to gaze at wild animals. Gina’s story is so incredible she’s even been featured on the national TV news. She’s been filmed hopping onto the bus, which comes like clockwork every day to the stop two blocks down the street from our house. It doesn’t even pass by our house; I can’t imagine how she found the stop. Actually, there are many things I can’t imagine about this scenario, such as how she knows the bus schedule or where the stop for the zoo is. We’re never even taken her to the zoo. Why on earth would we? And surely we would have gone by car rather than by bus if we had It’s anyone’s guess how long she had been doing it before we realised what was going on. She’d scratch at the door m the morning for us to let her out. I would see her trot out of the garden and down the street, but I never thought anything of it. After a while, I began to notice that she’d be gone for several hours, but would always return at 4 pm, hungry. I started to suspect something when it occurred to me that she was leaving the house at exactly the same time every day. I decided to investigate this odd routine. One day I waited until she was just out of sight. I snuck out of the house, careful not to make any noise to disturb her. 1 left the property from the same place as she did. I spotted her a block down, her tail fluffing up m the air as she looked both ways before crossing to the next block. ‘We teach our kids that, not our cats!’ I thought to myself. At any rate, when she got a bit further ahead, I saw her arrive at the bus stop. I stood very still, not taking my eyes off her for a second. Then the bus came, the doors opened, and she just jumped right in. I couldn’t believe it! Standing there dumbfounded, I realised something that made my eyes widen and my eyebrows rise - there were no passengers waiting at the stop. Why did the bus even stop? So, in my distressed state, my knee-jerk reaction was to, well, run after the bus! I ran like an Olympic sprinter, and luckily there was little traffic at the junctions. I finally caught up with the bus at a red light. I banged on the door, the driver opened it and there was Gina, perched on the dashboard. She saw me and miaowed. ‘My cat! I shrieked. ‘How is this possible?’ The driver said she had been doing it for months, getting off at the zoo, and getting back on later in the day. I grabbed her, took her home and apologised for my frantic behaviour, but the next day she was off again, so I decided to pay a visit to the zoo, to see just exactly what she was getting up to on the next stage of her daily adventure...

He worked during 26 the late 19th and early 20th century on the of theories in rocket science and space flight, and is considered one of the pioneers of astronautics. His work with rockets can be easily seen today. The jet engines that steer rockets in space were developed by Tsiolkovsky, and the airlocks that allow astronauts to enter and exit space were 27 his as well. Tsiolkovsky often had trouble getting funding for his projects. 28 He was quite for his time, and the Russian science programmes didn’t always believe in his work. In 1903 he published an article which proved that rockets could fly into 29 space. Although it is now a basic principle, no one in his field appreciated the article when it was written. Many of Tsiolkovsky s ideas went on to be used in rocket science and space travel. Like most scientists, though, some of his ideas were 30 considered and were ignored as a result. 31 One such idea stated that humans would move to other parts of our galaxy to live. Science is still a long way off that, but the idea is still alive. DEVELOP INVENT PROGRESS SCIENCE PRACTICAL EVENTUAL

Авторские примеры ответов от эксперта ЕГЭ
с подтвержденным уровнем владения английским языком С2 proficiency (CPE)
к пособию «ЕГЭ. Английский язык: типовые экзаменационные варианты: 20 вариантов / под ред. М.В. Вербицкой. – Москва, 2023»
Пособие
специальным образом составлено
не только из правильных ответов, но и работ школьников, чтобы пользователи смогли
проанализировать структуру ответов
, возможные ошибки, грубые и незначительные. К каждой такой работе вы найдете
подробное описание ошибок и правильные альтернативы
согласно критериям оценивания устной и письменной части ЕГЭ по английскому языку в 2023 году, а также Методическим рекомендациям 2023.
Вы можете
попробовать сами проверить работы учеников
, представленные в пособии, а потом
сравнить вашу оценку и оценку эксперта
. Также можно дать работу на проверку самому ученику,
развивая
тем самым
критическое мышление
и установку, что если что-то где-то написано, то не обязательно, что это правильно. В сети интернет на данный момент имеется большое количество примеров работ, которые далеки от идеала, а порой содержат грубые ошибки или элементы шаблона, не соответствующие новой формулировке задания.
Пособие включает:
Письменная речь
✔ 12 имейлов от эксперта на высший балл (прошедшие проверку нескольких экспертов ЕГЭ)
✔ 9 имейлов учеников с подробными комментариями по ошибкам и оценкой эксперта, а также рекомендациями по правильным вариантам написания
✔ 20 эссе от эксперта на высший балл (прошедшие проверку нескольких экспертов ЕГЭ)
✔ 20 эссе учеников с подробными комментариями (до 2 страниц А4) и вариантами правильного написания от эксперта
Устная часть:
✔ Все вопросы 2-го задания (с различными вариантами ответов на каждый вопрос) и 3-го задания (ответы на вопросы) устной части от эксперта (20 вариантов)
✔ Разбор вопросов 2-го и 3-го задания от учеников с комментариями по ошибкам от эксперта
✔ Голосовое сообщение другу – 12 ответов от эксперта
✔ Голосовое сообщение другу – 8 ответов учеников с подробными комментариями по всем ошибкам и оценкой эксперта
✔ Рекомендации по выполнению работ на высший балл, после которых у вас не останется вопросов, как выполнять задания.
Все выполненные работы от эксперта соответствуют уровню В2 и той лексике и грамматическим конструкциям, которые
доступны любому школьнику
. В работах отсутствуют грамматические явления и лексика, выходящие за рамки школьной программы, чтобы показать на примерах, как выполнить задания на максимальный балл, и в то же время
дать школьнику уверенность, что он может сделать точно также.
Ознакомившись с комментариями к выполненным работам, вы поймете какие типичные ошибки встречаются у учащихся при написании работ, что
позволит вам выполнить собственные работы на максимальный балл.
Все ответы соответствуют всем представленным заданиям устной и письменной части нового пособия под ред. М.В. Вербицкой 2023 года.
Пособие 112 страниц А4 (примеры страниц в ограниченном формате вы можете посмотреть в фотогалерее сверху).
Обратите внимание, что в пособии отсутствуют формулировки самих заданий.
С ними вы можете ознакомиться в пособии «ЕГЭ 2023 Английский язык: типовые экзаменационные варианты 10/20 вариантов / под редакцией М. В. Вербицкой», приобретя их отдельно любым доступным вам способом.
После оплаты пособие придет на указанную электронную почту (обычно в течение 30 минут — 1 часа).
Ответы к устной части и письменной речи к пособию ЕГЭ под ред. М.В. Вербицкой 2023 (авторы Крылова А.С. Алексеева Ю.С.) Ответы к Вербицкой ЕГЭ Английский язык 2023 — электронная версия.
