Вариант 4 раздел 1 аудирование. Аудирование

ЕГЭ по английскому языку. Сложный экзамен? Я бы ответил однозначно – сложный! Но, для целеустремленных учеников сдать его , набрав хорошие баллы, вполне реальная задача , каков бы не был уровень владения языком. Если у вас есть время и желание хорошо подготовиться к ЕГЭ или, что не менее важно, хорошо подготовить к ЕГЭ эти страницы для вас. Оговорюсь сразу, что вы не найдете здесь уникальной стратегии или методики подготовки. Самая лучшая стратегия всегда одна – труд. Зато найдете подробные инструкции по выполнению заданий с примерами, которые помогут вам готовиться системно и эффективно.

Итак, какова наша задача? Мы должны выполнить 15 заданий из раздела: «Аудирование», 9 заданий из раздела «Чтение», 20 заданий из раздела «Лексика и грамматика» и два задания из раздела «Письмо». На все про все у нас 180 минут. Что ж, приступим к раскладыванию по полочкам каждого раздела экзамена.

Раздел 1. «Аудирование»

Максимальное количество баллов, которые можно набрать – 20.

Задание В1. Понимание основного содержания текста.

Максимум 6 баллов.

Текст будет звучать дважды.

Суть задания : нужно установить соответствие между краткими утверждениями и текстами, предложенным для прослушивания. Утверждения обозначены цифрами 1-7. Высказывания говорящих буквами A-F. Одно утверждение лишнее.

Советы по эффективному выполнению задания.

До того, как текст прозвучит впервые дана пауза для ознакомления с заданиями. Мы делаем следующее:

Читаем утверждения и пытаемся определить что их объединяет. (тема, проблема, ключевое слово)
Пытаемся определить чем они отличаются друг от друга. (проблемой, отношением к проблеме и т. д.)
В процессе ознакомления с утверждениями подчеркиваем в них ключевые слова, делаем иные пометки, помогающие понять их смысл и различия.
Глядя на утверждения, пытаемся предвосхитить содержание текста, подходящего к каждому из них по смыслу, а также, те ключевые слова на которых, как нам кажется, должно строиться высказывание, относящееся к данному утверждению.

Итак, тексты зазвучали в первый раз. Во время первого прослушивания мы сосредоточимся на том, что нам необходимо:

По мере прослушивания каждого текста отмечать все возможные варианты ответа.
Делать нужные исправления в ответах по мере прослушивания остальных текстов, метод исключения же никто не отменял, и некоторые первоначальные варианты ответов вполне могут отпасть по мере дальнейшего прослушивания высказываний.

Тексты звучат второй раз. В это время нам нужно:

Обратить особое внимание на высказывания, для которых изначально было выбрано несколько вариантов ответа
Слушая текст, стараться выписывать ключевые слова, которые помогут обосновать выбор того или иного соответствия.

После того, как мы прослушали тексты дважды нам остается:

Записать окончательные ответы в таблицу, которая дана после задания.
Еще раз проверить точность записи ответов и перенести их в бланк.

Помните, что задания по аудированию нужно выполнять сразу же, не оставляя их невыполненными, так как, даже если у вас и будет время вернуться к их выполнению, вряд ли вы сможете вспомнить высказывания, которые прозвучали для вас час или полтора назад.

Аудиозапись к заданию: {mp3}b1{/mp3}

До прослушивания текста:

Тема, которая объединяет утверждения – подарки.
Утверждения отличаются друг от друга отношением к различным видам подарков.
Ключевые слова: 1) perfume, not a good present, reasons 2) present, create, memories 3) practical presents 4) present, good for everybody 5) perfume, the best present 6) present, a good way out, not always perfect 7) choosing a present, think, person’s lifestyle
1) скорее всего речь пойдет о причинах, по которым духи не могут быть хорошим подарком, ключевые слова на которых будет строиться высказывание: perfume, bad, not very good, awful, scent. 2) наверное, речь пойдет о каком-то совместном действии в качестве подарка, чтобы об этом остались воспоминания, ключевые слова: do together, memory, share, past 3) речь пойдет о практичных подарках, подарках для дома или хозяйства, ключевые слова: home, domestic, pragmatic,gifts 4) вероятно речь пойдет о подарке или подарках, которые подойдут любому человеку, ключевые слова any person(man), all, everybody 5) речь, видимо, пойдет о причинах, по которым духи являются наилучшим подарком по мнению говорящего, ключевые слова: excellent gift, best present, perfume 6) речь, скорее всего, пойдет о способе легко решить проблему с выбором подарка, ключевые слова: way out, easy to buy, choice 7) видимо говорящий будет убеждать, что при выборе подарка необходимо учитывать то, какой образ жизни ведет получатель этого подарка, ключевые слова: lifestyle, way of life, choose a gift

Во время первого прослушивания:

Отмечаем все возможные варианты: A) 6, 4 B) 3 C) 1,5 D) 6,4 E) 2 F) 7.

Во время второго прослушивания:

Обращаем особое внимание на высказывания, для которых мы выбрали несколько вариантов ответа и выбираем окончательный вариант: A) 4 B) 3 C) 1 D) 6 E) 2 F) 7.

После второго прослушивания переносим наши ответы в таблицу после задания, вот и все. Остается только перенести наши ответы в бланк ответов.

Speaker A : We’ve had our dog, Fido, for two years now. My parents asked me which animal I’d like, and I said a dog. A dog was a good choice for us because we’ve got a big house and a fenced-in garden where he can play, and we all take turns walking him. Dogs need space and exercise. People who’ve got a small flat and not a lot of free time to spend with their pet should probably get a fish instead!

Speaker B : Our cats, Leo, Tabs and Boo, certainly keep us entertained round the house. They love to play and sleep and they certainly perk up at mealtimes. But they have their own characters. Leo is super friendly and loves to sit on your lap. Tabs always runs away when you try to pick her up. And Boo is unpredictable – sometimes he loves you, and sometimes he doesn’t! I guess they’re like people in a way – no two are alike!

Speaker С : I love having an aquarium. I’ve got two fish in it now. They don’t really have personalities, you know, although they get excited when I toss flakes of food in their tank. I started off with just one fish, then after six months, I decided it would be fun to get a second one, and they seem very happy together. They’re easy to look after – just give them some food and watch them swim!

Speaker D : We’ve got a really cool parrot named Polly. Polly’s a great character, and she talks! What better pet could you have, right? Sadly, though, Polly wasn’t feeling well a few weeks ago. She stopped eating and wasn’t talking so much. Everyone who owns a pet must look after it, so we had to take her to a vet, who prescribed some medicine. She’s much improved now and back to her usual chatty self!

Speaker E : Our local pet shop has got lots of different pets – rabbits and hamsters, birds and fish. I’m always tempted to buy another pet, but I know I mustn’t! But every time I go there, I pick up something for my dog, Gus. He loves having a new toy to chew on or chase round the house. I think about myself, you know. I love video games, but I can’t play the same one over and over again!

Speaker F : When we were thinking of getting a pet, we had to consider where we would get one. The pet shop near my house has lots to choose from. But I get so sad when I think about all those animals that are out on the streets. So my parents and I decided that we would visit the city shelter and rescue a pet from there. And that’s how we got our dog Chester, who’s more than happy to live with us!

Jason : Vicky, are you going to Helens fancy dress party on Saturday? You have to come, if only to see my outfit. I’m going as a gorilla rugby player!

Vicky : That’ll be hilarious, Jason! I wasn’t sure if I was going to come, but I think you’ve helped me make up my mind. But I don’t know what to wear. I was thinking maybe a princess, but that seems a bit boring.

Jason : No, that sounds great. If you came as a princess, you would wear loads of jewellery and a huge crown, right?

Vicky : Hmm, I’m not keen on that idea, really. Where would I get all those things? I don’t want to spend a thousand pounds on an outfit.

Jason : That’s a good point. Well, what about a celebrity? Maybe you could come as Lady Gaga. That should be easy to do, shouldn’t it? Just copy one of her looks.

Vicky : No, I can’t do that. Lisa’s already going as Gaga. Besides, I think I’m way too tall to be her. She’d only come up to my chin if she were standing in front of me!

Jason : What about a mermaid? You know, dress up like a fish! I think you’d look really good in that kind of outfit, and it can’t be that expensive, can it?

Vicky : That sounds interesting, but how would I get round the party without falling over? It would be quite difficult to walk!

Jason : Hmm, maybe you could wear a long green skirt and ask your mum to sew a fish tail on the bottom.

Vicky : How creative! I’ve also got a funky green blouse and I can put some fake seashells all over it. I think we’re getting somewhere with this idea! Of course, I’ve got an exam in three days, so I can’t spend all my time making a mermaid costume.

Jason : Hopefully it won’t take too long to make.
The party’s this weekend and today’s Monday. That’s plenty of time, don’t you think?

Vicky : Well, my exams in maths, which I’m terrible at. I think I’ll have to wait until it’s over before I can do this costume. But at least I’ve got the idea.

Jason : Well, good luck in your exam, and with the costume!

Vicky : Thanks. See you at the party Jason!

Presenter : Hi everyone and welcome to our programme, Awesome Job! Today we have John Stone with us to talk about his work in ecotourism. John, welcome to the show.

Speaker : Thanks for having me.

Presenter : Tell us some things about your job and what your company does.

Speaker : I work as a tour guide for a company called Go Green Tourism. We specialise in tours to unique habitats with rich biodiversity. We organise very small tours, for maybe 20 people or less, so that the environment remains protected, and our destinations are mainly tropical regions in South America and most recently South-East Asia. We travel to our destination and stay at a local village near the habitat, which is where we eat and sleep. Then we go on a guided walking tour of a rainforest and we educate our travelling companions about the different flora and fauna of the area.

Presenter : So you have to be well-trained in plant and animal sciences to give one of these tours, yes?

Speaker : That’s right. Typically the tour guides have a degree in biology or botany, or a master’s in forest conservation, something like that. My specific educational background is in zoo management, but I saw an advert for this job and decided I wanted to give it a try. I’ve learned a great deal more about the natural environment through this work, which I’m happy about.

Presenter : Is ecotourism safe for the environment, in your opinion?

Speaker : We do our very best to ensure that any place we visit is left virtually untouched. Our ecotravellers must attend a seminar before we embark on our journey in order to learn the dos and don’ts of the trip. People who sign up for these tours are quite conscious of the environment to begin with.

Presenter : Does your company participate in environment protection programmes?

Speaker : I’m glad you asked that, because yes, we do. Part of our profits go to awareness programmes aimed at educating people about the rainforests and their value as a resource. Most people don’t realise that without rainforests, we wouldn’t be able to survive.

Presenter : There is also the problem of rainforests being cut down, isn’t there?

Speaker : Yes, we also provide funds for organisations that fight illegal logging and land clearing in Brazil. These organisations work with the Brazilian government and although it’s a continuous battle, they have made progress in recent years in protecting land.

Presenter : That’s good to know. What sorts of things do people get to see in the rainforests, besides plants and animals of course?

Speaker : Oh, many things. We visit dazzling waterfalls, and pristine lakes and rivers. We also visit the native peoples who live in or near the rainforests – the ones who are welcoming to visitors anyway! So there is also a cultural exchange that takes place between the ecotravellers and the locals. I’ve even picked up a few words of the locals’ languages, which is really cool. Of course, I’m a long way off being fluent!

Presenter : And do you just visit rainforests?

Speaker : Well, the company is only about eight years old, so the focus has been rainforest regions mainly in Brazil, but as I said before, we do visit South-East Asia, which we started doing a couple of years ago. But I’m excited to say that we are planning to expand our operations to regions in Africa, such as the Serengeti and Madagascar. Business has been booming for ecotourism, so hopefully that trend will continue, for us and for other environmentally-conscious organisations…

4. Long and special

5. Goods delivery

6. User and nature friendly

7. From steam to electricity

A. The invention of the steam locomotive made a breakthrough in the development of the railway system in the 19th century. Today the technology seems ordinary, but two hundred years ago it was revolutionary. Steam locomotives were fueled by burning coal, wood or oil, to produce steam in a boiler, which drove the engine. Of course, large amounts of water were also needed. In the 20th century, steam engines were gradually replaced with trains fueled by diesel or electricity.

B. Some long-distance passenger trains have become famous. For example, the Trans-Siberian Railway in Russia is the longest railway in the world, covering 9,259 kilometers and 10 time zones. In the United States, the California Zephyr travels between Chicago and San Francisco, and during the 3-day trip, passengers can enjoy amazing views of the Rocky Mountains. The Orient Express between Venice and Istanbul offers old-fashioned service that is luxurious, romantic, and expensive.

C. Of course, not all trains carry passengers. Many trains are freight trains, transporting goods from one location to another. The busiest freight system in the world is in China. Freight trains are usually much longer than passenger trains. The longest freight train recorded was in Australia with over 682 cars. Freight trains can carry anything - coal, cars, clothing - anything that people need. Refrigeration, which keeps food cold and fresh, revolutionized freight transportation.

D. In many countries, overnight trains are a good option to air travel. For example, you might leave one city at 11:00 at night, and arrive at your destination at 7:00 the next morning. Typically, you share a cabin with three other people, who you might be travelling with, or who you might not know at all. Your seats become your beds and the price of your ticket includes your bedding. If you want, you can order tea and a snack from the cabin attendant.

E. Authors have been using trains in literature for as long as trains have been running. Indeed, it’s hard to imagine some stories without a train in them. Even people who have never read Anna Karenina know how the famous novel’s heroine dies at the end. Many American children learn the important lessons of optimism and hard-work reading the classic story The Little Engine that Could. And of course almost everyone on the planet knows about Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter books.

F. Many countries around the world are investing in high-speed trains. Today’s high-speed railways are amazing. They can go twice as fast as regular trains, and they are designed for passenger comfort with spacious chairs, internet access, and multi-media entertainment. High speed rail makes it possible to move many more people much faster over longer distances. High speed rail also can help the environment because it is more energy efficient and reduces cars on the roads.

G. In the 19th century, railroad travel became the fastest way to travel long distances overland. It was a great improvement over travelling by horse and wagon, which could take weeks longer than the train. But early trains weren’t comfortable. Seats were hard and the soot from the coal engine made the air very dirty. In addition, the cars were cold in winter and hot in summer because there was no heat or air conditioning. But fortunately, since those early years, train travel has become much more pleasant.

The United Nations sponsors many wonderful programs to help people all over the world, and one of the most famous - and oldest - is UNICEF. The acronym UNICEF is short for the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund. The program was founded in 1946 to provide emergency food and healthcare for millions of children in the countries that had been ruined by World War II. Today UNICEF helps children in developing countries with programs that support human rights, food, healthcare, and education. UNICEF programs emphasize the importance of developing strong communities. In recognition of its work, UNICEF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965.

UNICEF operates with a budget of over $2.7 billion. The funds are provided by governments of the member nations of the U.N. and also by private groups and individuals. In the United States and Canada, UNICEF is especially well known for its “Trick-or-Treat” program, which began in 1950. Every Halloween, in October, children dress up in magical, fantastic and scary outfits and go door to door in their neighborhoods, asking for candy. Many children also carry with them bright orange “Trick-or-Treat” boxes, and they receive money as well as candy. They get to eat the candy, of course, but the money is given to UNICEF. Over $200 million has been raised in this way - all by children dressed up as witches and ogres and fairy princesses.

UNICEF has offices and centers in over 190 countries, with thousands of staff, interns and volunteers. UNICEF also relies on famous people to help raise awareness for its projects. One of the most famous and popular was the actress Audrey Hepburn. Hepburn had herself been the child of war, having survived World War II in the Netherlands. She credited the United Nations with saving her from starvation at the end of the war. Hepburn believed her work with UNICEF was more important and more meaningful than her career as an actress.

UNICEF was one of the first funds sponsored by the United Nations.

The main aim of UNICEF programme has been to feed starving children.

The efforts of UNICEF as a peacemaker were highly estimated.

The main part of the UNICEF budget comes from the governments.

UNICEF uses “Trick-or-Treat” program only in the US and Canada.

Over $200 million come from children’s pocket money to the UNICEF budget.

World famous celebtrities help to promote UNICEF projects.

Audrey Hepburn didn’t care much for her career as an actress.

The platypus is one of the most unusual creatures in the animal kingdom. Platypuses have a paddle-shaped tail like a beaver, a furry body like an otter, and webbed feet like a duck. In fact, the first time a platypus was brought from Australia to Britain, people could not believe that it was a real animal.

Platypuses make their homes in the freshwater areas. While they are in the water a lot, they will also waddle onto the riverbanks to dig burrows with their claws. These burrows are tunnels that have rooms or chambers. Platypuses also live under rock ledges, roots, or debris.

Platypuses weather many climate extremes. Their waterproof, thick fur keeps them warm in chilly temperatures, and their big tails store extra fat for energy. Platypuses usually sleep during the day and hunt at night. They hunt for their food in the water where they live.

Electronic assistant: Hello! This is the electronic assistant of the cafe The Best Choice. We are doing a market research, and we would like to offer you new opportunities for special occasions. We kindly ask you to take part in our survey. Please answer six questions. The survey is anonymous, so you don’t have to give your name. Let’s get started.

Electronic assistant: Is there a cafe in your neighbourhood?

Student: (pause 40 seconds) Well, there is one good cafe in a stone throw from my home. It is small buit extremely cute. This cafe is made in French style and it has panoramic windows and fresh flowers everywhere. _

Electronic assistant: Where do you prefer to celebrate your birthday, at home or in a cafe? Explain why?

Student: (pause 40 seconds) If I were to choose where to celebrate my birthday, I would defenetly go for cafe. The reason is that I don"t want to be bothered with cooking and washing dishes after all. Besides, I won"t missan opportunity to take cool photos in a luxuriously designed cafe.

Electronic assistant: If you had a chance to arrange a birthday party in a cafe, what kind of food and drinks would you order?

Student: (pause 40 seconds) First of all, as I have a sweettooth, a birthday cake is of utmost importance. Then there"d definely be some cocktails and champagne. Finally, I am sure if I were to organise the birthday party there won"t be staple food like vegetables and potatoes. It seems to be old fashioned for me.

Electronic assistant: What kind of entertainment would you like to have at your birthday party to make it more exciting?

Student: (pause 40 seconds) First of all, there will be a cotton candy counter, an incredible magic show and a fashionable photo booth. Then I can"t do without music and so I will invite a jazz band.

Electronic assistant: Whom would you like to invite to your birthday party, your family or your friends? Explain why.

Student: (pause 40 seconds) Surely I will invite both my friends and family, because I would like to share the happiest moment in my life with all of them. However, with no doubts there would be 2 different parties because the interesta and as a result the entertainment must be different.

Electronic assistant: What other special occasions (like your graduation party or getting a driver’s licence) would you like to celebrate in a cafe?

Student: (pause 40 seconds) To my mind, getting a Bachelor"s Degree or retirement are occasions that must be celebrated in restaurants and cafes, because they"re the most important milestones of our life and we should do our best to remember this moments forever.

Electronic assistant: This is the end of the survey. Thank you very much for your time.

I would like to start with the idea that most of the people have enough free time to relax. But the majority of them always complain that they need more and more. I think that you just have to be responsible for a wise usage of your free time. Speaking about me, I’m usually busy doing homework. But I still have enough free time to play with my friends. I would say that I have enough free time to do everything that I’ve planned. I do believe that all other teens prefer to watch a new movie in the cinema and have fun with their friends from school for example they enjoy hanging out in clubs. But my favourite day of the week is Sunday because I always help my parents with household chores such as washing dishes and taking the garbage away. The main reason why I do it is (not mentioning that it’s my responsibility to help my elderly parents) that after fullfiling my duty I go to the pool , meet with my friends and we watch a movie together. In summary, I should say that having a lot of free time is great.

Holidays are an essential part of our culture. Yet not all people understand the importance of their celebration. They consider any celebration to be a waste of time, which, in fact, is not true.

In my opinion, we should celebrate holidays because they help to keep up our traditions and to preserve our culture. In addition, it is a good chance to bring the family together and to meet all your friends and relatives. What is more, there is a special atmosphere behind each holiday and it is a good opportunity to make people happy. As for me, I like the spirit of a holiday and always try to follow the traditions connected with it.

Nevertheless, not all people enjoy celebrations. They are not interested in ancient traditions and only regard holidays as additional time off work. They also believe that holidays are just an excuse for spending money or making it.

Actually, such attitude is wrong. I believe it is very important that traditions do survive in the country as they help to define who people are. Although people spend lots of money on presents, it is not only the present that counts, it is not only the present that counts, but also the fact that people greet each other and share the joy of the day.

To conclude, I want to say that holidays help to bring generations together. Personally, I enjoy celebrations. For me, a holiday is not just a day off but a special occasion and I usually prepare for it beforehand.
