В Разделе 1 (задания по аудированию) предлагается прослушать несколько текстов и выполнить 8 заданий на понимание прослушанных текстов. Рекомендуемое время на выполнение заданий данного раздела - 30 минут.

Задание 1

Вы два раза услышите четыре коротких диалога, обозначенных буквами А, B, C, D. Установите соответствие между диалогами и местами, где они происходят: к каждому диалогу подберите соответствующее место действия, обозначенное цифрами. Используйте каждое место действия из списка 1–5 только один раз. В задании есть одно лишнее место действия.

3. In a vet clinic

Прочитайте заголовки и переведите их, выделите ключевые слова, попробуйте предсказать, о чем пойдет речь. Если не все слова знакомы, можно попробовать догадаться об их значении из контекста.

Если после первого прослушивания место действия непонятно сразу, то можно оставить ответ на потом и вставить цифру методом исключения. Во время второго прослушивания обращайте внимание на те места, которые вызвали у вас сомнения.

Понять тему диалогов, услышать ключевые слова, сигнализирующие о месте, где происходит диалог, и сопоставить их с заголовком. Не нужно переживать, что какие-то отдельные слова будет непонятны, возможно, они не будет играть важной роли во всём тексте. Не пытайтесь переводить каждое слово по отдельности - это только мешает сосредоточиться.

Ваш ответ представляет собой последовательность из четырёх цифр. За каждый правильный ответ (одно соответствие) вы получаете один балл, максимальное количество баллов - 4.

B: Yes, and what’s the actual problem? Many of our visitors choose us for just that reason. We admit pets which is very convenient for those who travel with animals.

A: But why did nobody tell me about that? The dog barks! I can’t sleep properly at night.

B: Sorry, sir. But the only thing we can do is to offer you another room.I’ll just check which one would be quieter.

Выделяем ключевые слова, которые говорят нам о том, что действие происходит в магазине. Правильный ответ - In a hotel (B-4).

Dialogue C

A: It’s pretty cold today, isn’t it?

B: Yes, it is. But I’ve got used to walking in any weather.

A: Is it because you have to walk your dog?

B: Yes. Twice a day, at least. We are heading to the pond at the moment - there are special facilities for dogs there, like ladders and ramps. Are you going there too?

A: Oh, no, I’m going home. That’s enough jogging for me for today. Too cold!

B: A Labrador. He’s very clever but hates it if we don’t follow his routine.

A: That’s a shame... I mean that you are leaving... because it’s so cool here. And the music is great.

B: Ok. Just one more dance and I’ll be off.

A: Yay! A good decision.

Фразы «It’s so cool here», «the music is great», «Just one more dance» говорят о том, что действие происходит в месте, где обычно мы можем слышать музыку. Из всех представленных вариантов только «at a party» подходит.

Разбираем задание.

Now we are ready to start.

Speaker A

It’s large and spacious. There is a whiteboard, desks and a teacher’s table but the most interesting feature is the special graffiti wall. We can write all kinds of questions on the material we are studying at the moment. For example, if you don’t understand something, you can write your question on the wall and another student or teacher writes the answer.

Большим и просторным может быть кабинет. Наличие в помещении доски, парт и стола учителя дает нам четкое понимание того, что говорящий описывает школьный кабинет. Правильный ответА-3 (The speaker describes his/her school classroom.)

Speaker B

I’m always glad to come to this room some time before the lesson and study the maps on the walls and samples of stones and rocks on the shelves. Yes, I find geography very interesting and it’s not a problem for me to spend hours writing out facts about famous travellers and their discoveries. My favourite classroom activity is studying and completing maps.

Человек так сильно увлечен предметом География, что готов тратить огромное количество времени на выписывание фактов об известных путешественниках и их открытиях. Ключевым моментом является упоминание только ОДНОГО предмета. Правильный ответ B-1 (The speaker talks abou this/her favourite subject.)

Speaker C

My grade for the Maths test was unusually high but I’m not happy about it at all. My friend Tracy isn’t talking to me because of this. The thing is that in the exam room I sat next to Tracy and she’s sure I copied the answers from her paper. That’s not true but she doesn’t believe me. She thinks I cheated and she hates any dishonesty.

Говорящий описывает свою подругу Трейси и объясняет причину их ссоры. Очевидныйответ - C-6 (The speaker explains what his/her friend is angry about.)

Speaker D

I study in a large and modern school with well equipped classrooms, a good gym and a swimming pool. The latter are very important for me because I use them practically every day. When the lessons are over, my friend and I go to the gym to exercise or to play volleyball. Twice a week I have a swimming class and my friend does all kinds of experiments in the school chemistry laboratory.

Ключевым моментом становится информация из монолога, где говорящий рассказывает о внеклассной деятельности, а также упоминает словосочетание «the lessons are over» = «after-classes», «going to the gym», «playing volleyball» являются activities. Правильный ответ - D-2 (The speaker talks about his/her after-class activities.)

Speaker E

Students’ performance depends a lot on their ability to research and look for information by themselves. On the shelves the books are arranged in the alphabetical order. To find the book you need to know the author. There is also an electronic catalogue and access to the internet resources. Just type in the key word to find whatever you want.

Говорящий рассказывает о книгах на полках, расставленных в алфавитном порядке. Также упоминает наличие электронного каталога книг. Правильный ответ E-4 (The speaker explains how to use the school library.)

Kevin: Yes. This is my last year at school and I hope to start my university course this summer. I’ve got good grades and it makes my plan sound quite realistic.

Kate: Yes, it looks like a good one. You seem to have planned your life very well. I can’t even make up my mind on what souvenirs to buy for my friends back home...

Kevin: I’ve found a shop with some old photos of the city. I bought several pictures there as gifts for my friends. They’re not expensive and the images are lovely.

Kate: Yeah, I think that would be better than heavy souvenir mugs or T-shirts with prints. Could you tell me where the shop is?

A . I hadn’t shopped during the sales in the past. So last Saturday I thought I’d try it with some friends… Well, it was chaos! … How can people shop, being pushed all the time? I mean, okay, the prices are a bit cheaper but I’d better stick to my discount stores, thank you very much…

B . I was just furious! I was expecting the bill to total around forty dollars, but boy was I surprised when I saw it was for sixty-five! The first thing I did was to check it, to see if we’d been overcharged… It was correct, but I didn’t think the food or the service was really worth it.

C . I don’t like going to the supermarket all the time. I know people who go once or twice a week, but I believe once a fortnight is fine… Well, this isn’t really the cheapest place to shop,… but I know I can find a wide range of things there.

D . I knew about the sales, so I got to the department store very early… and I knew it wouldn’t be too crowded at that hour… I was lucky to have the store to myself for a while… Anyway, everything was cheap… so I left a couple of hours later with three full shopping bags… Believe me, it’s a good idea to avoid the crowds.

E . Well, I think our everyday life will change quite a bit. We will be able to buy everything by computer, even clothes and shoes. We won’t even have to try anything on, because the computer will show us exactly what we will look like in them.

Fine scenery

A . Ireland is situated on the western edge of Europe. It is an island of great beauty with rugged mountains, blue lakes, ancient castles, long sandy beaches and picturesque harbors. The climate is mild and temperate throughout the year. Ireland enjoys one of the cleanest environments in Europe. Its unspoilt countryside provides such leisure activities as hiking, cycling, golfing and horse-riding.

B . Over the past two decades, Ireland has become one of the top destinations for English language learning more than 100,000 visitors come to Ireland every year to study English. One quarter of Ireland s population is under 25 years of age and Dublin acts as a magnet for young peoplelooking for quality education. The Irish are relaxed, friendly, spontaneous, hospitable people and have a great love of conversation. So, there is no better way of learning a language than to learn it in the country where it is spoken.

C . Dublin sits in a vast natural harbor. Such a protected harbor appealed to the first settlers 5,000 years ago and traces of their culture have been found around Dublin and its coast. But it was not until the Vikings came sailing down the coast in the mid 9th century that Dublin became an important town. Next to arrive were the Anglo-Norman adventurers. This was the beginning of the long process of colonization that dictated Ireland s development over the next seven hundred years.

D . Now Dublin is changing fast and partly it s thanks to its youthful population over 50 percent are under the age of twenty-five and that makes the city come alive. Today Dublin is a city full of charm with a dynamic cultural life, small enough to be friendly, yet cosmopolitan in outlook. This is the culture where the heritage of ancient days brings past and present together.

E . In general, cultural life of Dublin is very rich and you can enjoy visiting different museums, art galleries and exhibitions. But for those looking for peace and quiet there are two public parks in the centre of the city: St. Stephen s Green and Merrion Square. The city centre has several great shopping areas depending on your budget as well as numerous parks and green areas for relaxing in. Dublin is also a sports-mad city and whether you are playing or watching, it has everything for the sports enthusiast.

F . Step dances are the creation of Irish dancing masters of the late 18th century. Dancing masters would often travel from town to town, teaching basic dancing steps to those interested and able to pay for them. Their appearance was motivated by a desire to learn the fashionable dance styles which were coming from France. The dance masters often changed these dances to fit the traditional music and, in doing so, laid the basis for much of today s traditional Irish dance ceili, step, and set.

G . St Patrick is known as the patron saint of Ireland. True, he was not a born Irish. But he has become an integral part of the Irish heritage, mostly through his service across Ireland of the 5th century. Patrick was born in the second half of the 4th century AD. There are different views about the exact year and place of his birth. According to one school of opinion, he was born about 390 A.D., while the other school says it is about 373 AD. Again, his birth place is said to be in either Scotland or Roman England. So, though Patricius was his Romanicized name, he became later known as Patrick.

Seat Belts: Do We Really Need Them?

In many countries now seat belts are compulsory for the driver and front seat passengers at least.

Most doctors believe that seat belts save people from being seriously hurt in a crash, but there are some people who still think that it is more dangerous to wear a seat belt than not to wear one.

They say that a seat belt may trap one in a car that is burning, or that has fallen into a river or the sea and is sinking, so that one is burnt to death or drowned.

But less than half of one per cent of car accidents lead to fire or sinking, and in any case, a seat belt may easily save a person from being knocked unconscious in an accident, so that he or she is able to undo the seat belt immediately and get out of a car that is on fire or sinking.

People who object to seat belts also sometimes say that without one, one may be thrown right out of a car in a crash, but doctors will tell you that that is the last thing one wants to happen: if one is thrown out of a car, one hits something, usually the road, and usually hard and at speed. It is better to remain inside a car in the case of a crash.

There is also the question of personal freedom; some people say that it is an attack on their freedom to force them to wear a seat belt, whether they want to or not. But even in a democracy there are a lot of things a person is denied the right to do though he or she wants to do them. I may, for example, want to play music loudly at night; it interferes with my freedom if I am not allowed to do this. But my neighbours have their own rights to freedom, just as I have. They want to be free to sleep quietly at night, and if I stop them doing so, I am interfering with their freedom.

How does this affect seat belts? In what way does it interfere with the rights of others if someone refuses to wear a seat belt? Well, first of all because common sense tells us that a driver without a seat belt has less control of a car if there is an accident, so that he or she is more likely to be a danger to others, who after all also have the right to be protected as much as possible from accident

Пример ответа:

Thanks a lot, it was great to get your letter! I’ve learn a lot about your language practice.

Frankly speaking, I’ve never had any language practice abroad and I don’t have any possibilities of such studies besides school lessons.

I practise English, reading books in the original and I also enjoy listening to some old English groups like the ‘Beatles’. Listening to some other groups is also quite helpful. For example, ABBA songs are easily understood.

I’d like to have a chance of practising English with a native speaker, though not necessarily abroad (it’s cool but too expensive)!

Sorry, I’ve got to feed my dog.

1	Task 1. You are going to read the text aloud. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, and then be ready to read it aloud. Remember that you will have not more than 2 minutes for reading aloud.

Whether we realise it or not, TV plays a very important part in our lives. It’s the main source of information and a cheap form of entertainment for millions of people. It gives us an opportunity to “travel” all over the world, to “meet” different people and learn about their customs and traditions . It helps us to relax after a hard day’s work and escape from reality. Some people argue that television is a terrible waste of time. It makes us lazier. We stay at home instead of going out. We read less. We think less. We even talk less. It’s true that some TV addicts spend hours in front of the “box” watching whatever’s on - from second-rate Mexican soap operas to silly commercials. The trick is to learn to control television and use it intelligently. The ideal is to turn on the TV-set only when there’s a really interesting programme. Violence on TV is another problem that worries people. But the same can be said about computer games and many films and books. And if you don’t like a certain programme, why watch it?

2	Task 2. You are going to take part in a telephone survey. You have to answer six questions. Give full answer to the questions Remember that you will have 40 seconds to answer each question.
