Вы услышите 6 высказываний. Установите соответствие между высказываниями каждого говорящего A—F и утверждениями, данными в списке 1—7. Используйте каждое утверждение, обозначенное соответствующей цифрой, только один раз. В задании есть одно лишнее утверждение. Прослушайте запись дважды. Пример ответа: 123456 1. Good books can transport you to other worlds. 2. It's nice practice to give away books that you have already read. 3. In some cases it is not bad to watch a screen version of the book. 4. The difficult language of some writers can hide a good story. 5. A good mixture of mental stimulation is good. 6. Old novels are not worth reading. 7. Traditional reading will never stop.

Now we are ready to start. Speaker One: I am trying to read at least one novel a month. It's part of my intellectual diet. The diet includes music, TV and even PlayStation, but I try to keep a balance overall. There are times when I get seriously into a new writer and am distracted until I've read everything. On the other hand, I can spend untold hours on Final Fantasy or some other game if it engages me. But as with a food diet, the odd chocolate binge won't hurt you as long as in the long run you get a good balance. → Ключевая идея: важно сочетать разные виды умственной деятельности (книги, музыку, телевидение, игры) и соблюдать баланс. Это прямо соответствует утверждению 5. A good mixture of mental stimulation is good. (Speaker One – 5) Speaker Two: I would like to say I love reading Dickens, if it were true, but I just can't get down to it. I saw a TV version of David Copperfield and enjoyed it, but it is the language in the books I find really difficult to cope with. All the sentences seem so long and complex. I suppose it's just that Dickens belongs to a different age when people spoke and maybe even thought differently. On the other hand Shakespeare's language is difficult for me, but it doesn't spoil my enjoyment of that amazing dramatist. → Ключевая идея: сложный язык некоторых писателей (Диккенс) мешает восприятию, но при этом за этим языком скрывается интересное содержание (как у Шекспира). Это соответствует утверждению 4. The difficult language of some writers can hide a good story. (Speaker Two – 4) Speaker Three: I was sat in that armchair that Granddad made. Somehow I felt myself slip back in time as I turned each page. I became conscious of my heart beating. Probably it was the room, the furniture, the decoration, but that book took me somewhere else. I even felt the temperature in the room drop and expected to see Pyotr Quint staring sightlessly from the garden window. → Ключевая идея: книга переносит читателя в другое время и пространство, создаёт эффект присутствия в ином мире. Это полностью совпадает с утверждением 1. Good books can transport you to other worlds. (Speaker Three – 1) Speaker Four: I never watch a film based on any book I have already read. Suzy always does, and yet she always seems to end up saying “Not as good as the book”. On the other hand, it is quite useful to see films based on books that you ought to read but don't want to. Shakespeare or Dickens on film is a great help. You get a red hot story without having to get lost for days in archaic language. On this Suzy and I are in complete agreement. → Ключевая идея: в некоторых случаях (например, когда книга написана сложным языком) вполне полезно посмотреть экранизацию вместо чтения. Это соответствует утверждению 3. In some cases it is not bad to watch a screen version of the book. (Speaker Four – 3) Speaker Five: Some people say that conventional books have had their day. The technology has been surpassed. Like vinyl records and tape cassettes were to music, the traditional book will be replaced by iPhones, online delivery or through some other multimedia platform. They say that one day we'll no longer read words on paper stuffed between cardboard covers. But I'm not so sure. On the beach or in bed, on the train or at home, I like to curl up with a good old fashioned comfortable paper filled book. → Ключевая идея: говорящий не согласен с тем, что бумажные книги исчезнут; он убеждён, что традиционное чтение сохранится. Это соответствует утверждению 7. Traditional reading will never stop. (Speaker Five – 7) Speaker Six: Beck recycles all her books. It's a nice habit. Wherever she is, when she reads the last page, there she sets the book free. This means that she writes on the inside cover a message of invitation to whoever happens to pick the book up next. I happened to get one of hers last week. She wrote: “This book is a love story. You'll not be able to put it down until the very last word.” And as usual she was spot on. I hardly got any work done last week finishing that damn story. → Ключевая идея: Бек отдаёт уже прочитанные книги другим людям, оставляя в них послания, и это похвальная привычка. Это соответствует утверждению 2. It's nice practice to give away books that you have already read. (Speaker Six – 2)

Вы услышите диалог. Определите, какие из приведённых утверждений А–G соответствуют содержанию текста (1 – True), какие не соответствуют (2 – False) и о чём в тексте не сказано, то есть на основании текста нельзя дать ни положительного, ни отрицательного ответа (3 – Not stated). Прослушайте запись дважды. Пример ответа: 1231231 A. Sean has been studying Greek since he was 4. B. Sean keeps his favourite book near his bed. C. Jinny has chosen a story for the competition. D. Jinny is skeptical about the idea of the competition. E. Jinny is good at drawing posters. F. The play should be uploaded to the Internet. G. Jinny thinks they have enough time to prepare.

Now we are ready to start. Sean: Hi Jinny! Have you heard the news? Jinny: You've won the first prize in a competition? Sean: Not yet. But I'm going to, and you'll help me. Jinny: Wow, you're kidding. Sean: I'm not. I've found information on the Internet about a competition for young learners, which is open to all pupils who are innovative and creative. We've already been studying Greek for four years. I think that it's such a nice opportunity to show everyone how interesting the language and the culture of Greece is. Jinny: I knew that you love Greek, but I didn't know that you're THAT crazy about it. Sean: I am. You know that The Greek Legends is my favorite book. It is always near my bed, and I can reread particular parts whenever I want. Anyway, will you help me? Jinny: First of all, tell me what should we do. Sean: We need to choose a story. Actually, I've already chosen one. It's a story about Athena—the birth of Athena, to be exact. Then we should write the script, as it's a theatrical competition. Jinny: Oh, and afterwards probably we'll need people ready to spend all their free time sewing costumes, memorizing lines and rehearsing without a break for lunch. Sean: It's not that bad. Jinny: Definitely not. It's worse. We don't know how to write scripts. We don't have many friends who speak Greek and who are interested in acting. Sean: Well, as for the script, we can do a search on the Internet and find some books or articles of famous Hollywood screenwriters. They might be very helpful. I've already seen one. Then you can draw a "Wanted" poster and put it at the board near the drama classroom. Believe me, in two days we'll have an eager and enthusiastic team. Jinny: Okay, what will be next? Do we need to perform or play live in front of the audience or can we film it? Sean: In the spring we should submit the DVD to the judges. So we have about five months to rehearse, perform, film and crop and edit. Jinny: Okay, sounds as if you have a plan. And the deadline is reasonable. Let's try and see what happens. Who knows, maybe we will triumph in this international competition. A. Sean has been studying Greek since he was 4. Ключевая фраза: "We've already been studying Greek for four years." – Шон говорит, что они изучают греческий четыре года, но не с 4 лет. → 2 (False) B. Sean keeps his favourite book near his bed. Ключевая фраза: "It is always near my bed" – Шон прямо говорит, что его любимая книга всегда лежит рядом с его кроватью. → 1 (True) C. Jinny has chosen a story for the competition. Ключевая фраза: "Actually, I've already chosen one." – Шон говорит, что он уже выбрал историю. Джинни не выбирала историю, выбор сделал Шон. Следовательно, утверждение не соответствует действительности. → 2 (False) D. Jinny is skeptical about the idea of the competition. Ключевая фраза: "Definitely not. It's worse." и перечисление проблем ("We don't know how to write scripts. We don't have many friends who speak Greek and who are interested in acting.") – Джинни явно выражает сомнение и пессимизм по поводу идеи. Однако в конце она говорит: "Let's try and see what happens." – она соглашается попробовать. Её итоговое отношение не выражено однозначно как скептическое или позитивное, поэтому на основании текста нельзя дать ни положительного, ни отрицательного ответа. → 3 (Not stated) E. Jinny is good at drawing posters. Ключевая фраза: "you can draw a 'Wanted' poster" – Шон просит Джинни нарисовать плакат, но в тексте не сказано, хорошо ли она это умеет. Шон мог попросить её просто потому, что она может ему помочь, а не потому, что она талантлива. В тексте об этом ничего не сказано. → 3 (Not stated) F. The play should be uploaded to the Internet. Ключевая фраза: "we should submit the DVD to the judges" – Шон говорит, что нужно отправить DVD жюри, а не загружать в Интернет. Утверждение не соответствует действительности. → 2 (False) G. Jinny thinks they have enough time to prepare. Ключевая фраза: "And the deadline is reasonable." – Джинни говорит, что дедлайн разумный, что означает, что она считает время для подготовки достаточным. → 1 (True)

David has some work experience as ... 1) a military pilot. 2) a pilot of regional airlines. 3) a British Airlines representative.

Now we are ready to start. Presenter: Hello everybody! And it's great that you're here with our program again. Now in our studio we have David Morris, a pilot with British Airways. Hi David! Are you looking forward to the interview? David: Hi! Yes, I am actually. I love talking. Presenter: What we want to do today is to find out a bit about your new job, what you have to do and how you're getting along. David: Well, where do I begin? Um…my name is David Morris and I am currently living in Barcelona. I am single and 32 years old. My family has always been related to aviation. My father was a military pilot. I have been working as a pilot for British Airways for four months, and it is a very exciting time for me. Previously, I flew for a number of smaller airlines in England, but I always wanted to fly on international routes. Presenter: So, what exactly is your current job? David: I am what is called a reserve pilot. This means that I don't have a regular workload, but I am a backup pilot in case one of the more senior pilots gets sick or something goes wrong with the airline's planes. So I am on call most of the time, waiting for my pager to go off. Presenter: What happens when you do get paged? David: I have to get to the airport as soon as I can. I have to have my uniform and luggage packed all the time so that I'm ready to go at a moment's notice. I usually have to be at the airport within seventy-five minutes of receiving the call. Presenter: Well, David, being on call all the time must make things difficult for you. Doesn't it drive you crazy? David: Sometimes I get a bit annoyed, especially if I'm in a restaurant or watching a movie. But I also know that it's part of the business of becoming a first officer, and that all the other pilots have been through the same education process. You have to start somewhere if you want to get to the top in this business. Presenter: How long do you stay on reserve? Do you get any time off? David: Oh, yes, yes of course. Usually I have a few days on reserve, then a few days off. Presenter: I see. Do you have a flat in Barcelona? David: Well, I share a flat with two other reserve pilots. It's not a bad place, but the problem is that we're never there at the same time. It's almost impossible to plan meals or activities together. It's a real pity because Pyotr and Mikhail are great guys, but we're lucky to share a cup of coffee once a week. Presenter: Do you need to do more training at this stage of your career? David: For pilots, there is always more training. Everything changes constantly, and you need to be aware of it all. But at the moment, it's pretty quiet. I did a three-month training program before I came here, learning about the company and our particular regulations and procedures. Then we had a final flight test—or line-check, as it is sometimes called. Now I have an endorsement to fly A320s. Now that I've made it, I realize everything isn't plain sailing, and I'll have to keep working hard to progress. Presenter: Well, it all sounds very thorough. Thanks, David—that's been very informative. 3. David has some work experience as ... Ключевая фраза: "Previously, I flew for a number of smaller airlines in England." → Он работал пилотом в региональных авиалиниях. → 2. a pilot of regional airlines.
