Read the following passage. For Questions 1-5, choose the answer (A, B, C or D )which  you think fits best according to the text. Write the appropriate letters A-D in boxes 1—5 on your answer sheet.

A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey shows that strange animal behavior might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences in a ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter of a fairly recent earthquake. Some birds screeched and flew about widely; dogs yelped and ran around uncontrollably.

Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes as early as several days before the mishap.

In 1976 after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a devastating earthquake. Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to evacuate millions of other people and thus keep the death toll at a lower level.

1 

What prediction may be made by observing animal behavior?

A an impending earthquake

B the number of people who will die

C the ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter

D environmental changes  

2 

Why can animals perceive these changes when humans can not?

A Animals are smarter than humans.

B Animals have certain instincts that humans don’t possess.

A Some animals may be able to sense an approaching earthquake.

B By observing animal behavior scientists perhaps can predict earthquakes.

C The Chinese have successfully predicted an earthquake and saved many lives.

D All birds and dogs in a ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter went wild before the earthquake.

4

In this passage, the word evacuate most nearly means

A remove

B exile

C destroy

D emaciate

5

If scientists can accurately predict earthquakes, there will be

A fewer animals going crazy

B a lower death rate

Read the following passage. For Questions 1-7, choose the answer (A, B, C or D )which  you think fits best according to the text. Write the appropriate letters A-D in boxes 1—7 on your answer sheet.

Napoleon Bonaparte’s ambition to control all the area around the Mediterranean Sea led him and his French soldiers to Egypt. After losing a naval battle, they were forced to remain there for three years. In 1799, while constructing a fort, a soldier discovered a piece of stele (stone pillar bearing an inscription) known as the Rosetta stone. This famous stone, which would eventually lead to the deciphering of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics dating to 3100 B.C., was written in three languages: hieroglyphics (picture writing), demotic (a shorthand version of hieroglyphics), and Greek. Scientists discovered that the characters, unlike those in English, could be written from right to left and in other directions as well.

Twenty-three years after discovery of the Rosetta stone, Jean Francois Champollion, a French philologist, fluent in several  languages, was able to decipher the first word – Ptolemy – name of an Egyptian ruler. This name was written inside an oval called a “cartouche”. Further investigation revealed that cartouches contained names of important people of that period. Champollion painstakingly continued his search and was able to increase his growing list of known phonetic signs. He and an Englishman, Thomas Young, worked independently of each other to unravel the deeply hidden mysteries of this strange language. Young believed that sound values could be assigned to the symbols, while Champollion insisted that the pictures represented words.

How many years elapsed between the date of the oldest hieroglyphics deciphered by means of the  Rosetta stone and the stone’s discovery?

A 1 301

B 1 799

C 3 100

2 

Which of the following languages was NOT written on the Rosetta stone?

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A Cartouches contained names of prominent people of the period.

B Champollion and Young worked together in an attempt to decipher the hieroglyphics.

C One of Napoleon’s soldiers discovered the Rosetta stone.

D Thomas Young believed that sound values could be  assigned to the symbols.

4 

When was the  first word from the Rosetta stone deciphered?

A 3 100 B.C.

B 1766

C 1799

D 1822

5 

What was the first word that was deciphered from the Rosetta stone?

Раздел 1 (Чтение)

1.        Установите соответствие между заголовками А-Н и текстами 1-7. Занесите свои ответы в таблицу. Используйте каждую букву только один раз. В задании один заголовок лишний.

A.        Studying From Home

B.        Personal Development is Important

C.        Modern Tools For Studying

D.        Finding The Right Activity For You

E.        Studying and Living at School

F.        Specialized Schools

G.        Assessing Academic Progress

H.        High-tech School

1.        In the earliest days of computers, the only computer education was about computers. We and computers have come a long way since those days. Now computers have invaded every aspect of modern life. Education is no exception. Students can use word processors for writing, spreadsheets for math and science, and databases for organizing information. Lately, the Internet has become a recognized way of getting information.

2.        There are many advantages to distance learning. For homeschoolers, it is a great way to safely get a head start on college before completing high school. In addition, many students don’t have ability to leave home for maybe family or work obligations. Another huge advantage is the cost savings. Through distance learning, you avoid room and board fees that will have to be paid by a traditional student.

3.        In Great Britain many children go to boarding schools. A good boarding school can be an excellent placement for an orphaned child, because everyone is treated equally and fairly there. Many parents with non-traditional careers or those undergoing difficult transitions like divorce find boarding schools excellent alternatives. Boarding school can help children grow in independence, and friendships formed in a boarding school often last a lifetime.

4.        Considered by many to be diamond in the rough of the Parkside area, the school boasts a curriculum that encourages technological literacy. The 170 local 9th grade students don’t carry any books or pencils. The school supplies every student with their own laptop. They create multimedia presentations with Microsoft PowerPoint, receive assignments via e-mail, and conduct research online. So far, the unique program has had positive results.

5.        Chorister’s schools are educational establishments which have a special emphasis on religious choir singing. These schools are usually attached to a cathedral, church or chapel, where the school choir sings. Choir schools do not exclusively educate choristers: about 15 000 pupils are taught at chorister schools in the UK, but only around 1 000 of those are choristers. Tony Blair, for example, attended The Chorister School but was not himself a chorister.

6.        For the majority of college and university students, involvement in extracurricular activities plays an essential role in the collegiate experience. Students become involved in extracurricular activities not only for entertainment, social, and enjoyment purposes, but, most importantly, to gain and improve skills. A wide and diversified range of extracurricular activities exists on US campuses, meeting a variety of student interests.

7.        The test is an important benchmark in ensuring that students will be successful in meeting the challenges they will face either in college or the workplace. If they are not able to meet the standards of the exam, how can we expect them to be successful in life? Examination can be traumatic for both students and their teachers. But just because nobody really enjoys them, we shouldn’t disregard them as a necessary part of the education process.

2.        Прочитайте рассказ и выполните задание. В каждом задание обведите 1,2,3 или 4, соответствующую выбранному вами варианта ответа.

Gordia Harrington was tired of standing up all day and smelling like French fries at night. A property developer, she also owned and operated three McDonald’s franchises in Illinois, but as a divorced mother of three boys, she yearned for a business that would provide for her children and let her spend more time with them.

Her aha moment struck, strangely enough, after she was nominated in 1992 to be on the McDonald’s Bun Committee. ‘The other franchisees, all men, thought that was hilarious because of the word bun,’ she recalls.‘ But  the joke was on them.

They didn’t know the company would be picking me up in a corporate jet to see bakeries around the world. Every time I went to a meeting, I loved it. This was global!’

The experience opened her eyes to business possibilities. When McDonald’s decided it wanted a new bun supplier, Harrington became determined to win the contract, even though she had no experience running a bakery. ‘You see a tiny crack in the door, and you have to run through it,’ she says. ‘I really believed I could do this.’

Harrington studied the bakery business and made sure she was never off executives’ radar. ‘If you have a dream, you can’t wait for people to call you,’ she says.

‘So I’d visit a mill and send them photos of myself in a baker’s hat and jacket, holding a sign that said ‘I want to be your baker’.’ After four years and 32 interviews, her persistence paid off.

Harrington sealed the deal with a handshake, sold her franchises, invested everything she owned, and borrowed $13.5 million. She was ready to build the fastest, most automated bakery in the world.

The Tennessee Bun Company opened ahead of schedule in 1997, in time for a slump in US fast-food sales for McDonald’s. Before Harrington knew it, she was down to her last $20,000, not enough to cover payroll. And her agreement with McDonald’s required that she sell exclusively to the company. ‘I cried myself to sleep many nights,’ she recalls. ‘I really did think I was going to go bankrupt.’

But Harrington worked out an agreement to supply Pepperidge Farm as well.

‘McDonald’s could see a benefit if out production went up and prices went down,

and no benefit if we went out of business,’ she says. ‘That deal saved us.’

Over the next eight years, Harrington branched out even more. She started her own trucking business, added a cold-storage company, and now she has three bakeries producing fresh buns and frozen dough – all now known as the Bun Companies.

Speed is still a priority: It takes 11 people at the main bakery to turn out 60,000 buns an hour for clients across 40 states, South America, and the Caribbean.

Grateful for the breaks she’s had, Harrington is passionate about providing opportunities to all 230 employees. ‘Financial success is the most fun when you can give is away,’ she says. ‘We had a project that came under budget one year and we give each of our project managers a car with a big bow!’

The current economy, Harrington acknowledges, is challenging. Some of her clients’ sales have declined, but she’s found new clients and improved efficiencies to help sustain the company’s double-digit growth.

Cordia Harrington doesn’t have to stand on her feet all day anymore. Her sons are now 27, 25, and 23; two of them work for her. And she’s remarried – her husband, Tom, formerly her CPA, is now her CFO.

‘This is more than a job,’ says Harrington. ‘It’s a mission. I’m always thinking, ‘How can we best serve our employees?’ If we support them, they’ll do their best to look after our clients. That’s how it works here.’
