I realized that the man watch me for quite a long time

Прочитайте текст и выберите вариант ответа, соответствующий его содержанию.

What did the writer realise about the route he was given?

§ 1. I started as a paperboy when I was 11. The route covered the richest neighbourhood in town filled with grand mansions. This sounded like a desirable post, when it was presented to me by the route manager, Mr McTivity, but of course mansions have the longest driveways and widest lawns, so it took many minutes to deliver each paper. And papers weighed a ton back then.

§ 2. During my route, I would devote a good length of time to asking myself «what if» — what I would do if I could make myself invisible or if I could hypnotise everyone in the world. Then I might move on to consider unanswerable questions. How do migrating birds know which bird to follow? And how could we be sure that we all saw the same colours?

§ 3. In those days, I was hardly worried by the problems of the real world, so the combination of long walks, fresh air and being alone on my route let me slip easily into my own private thoughts and fantasies. But there was a price to pay for my absent-mindedness. I would suddenly realise that I couldn’t remember any of the last 47 houses I had visited. I didn’t know if I had left a paper, or instead just walked up to the door, stood for a moment like a mechanical robot and turned round and walked away again. It is not easy to describe the sense of self-disappointment that comes with reaching the end of your route and finding that there are sixteen undelivered papers in your bag and you don’t have the least idea to whom they should have gone. Mr McTivity would not be amused if he found out. There was only one way to find the solution to this. So I spent much of my early years first walking an enormous newspaper route and then revisiting large parts of it — sometimes twice!

§ 4. As if delivering papers seven days a week weren’t enough, you also had to collect the subscription (подписка) money. There wasn’t a more unpleasant task than this. But in particular, the moment that filled me with dread was collecting from Mrs Vandermeister. Mrs Vandermeister was 70 years old, possibly 80. She was very small, forgetful and practically deaf.

§ 5. Getting money from her was a nightmare, if I rang the doorbell at 15-second intervals for an hour and 10 minutes, eventually she would realise someone was at the door. «Now who the heck is that?» she would shout to herself, and begin the long process of getting from her chair to the front door, which was just twenty-five feet away. When eventually she came to the door, it would take an extra half-hour to convince her that I was not a murderer. When she finally opened the door, she was always alarmed to find me standing there. «Oh, Billy, you gave me a start!» she’d say. «It’s nice of you to pop by.» After I reminded her why I was there, there would be another long pause while she went off to find her purse. She would return half an hour later to ask how much again. There would be another detour to kitchen, and finally the announcement that she didn’t have that much cash and I’d have to call again another time.

In which paragraph are the following mentioned?

the testers being able to operate the model without reference to the manual

The reporter Stuart Harris, the inventor Tom Granger and the broadcaster Paul Bridges tested four clock radios currently available to pick a good one.

2. Tom Granger described this model with its extra built-in lamp as «incredibly tasteless’ in the way it’s made. He complained that he had to read the instruction booklet twice before he could get it to work; the clock kept jumping from 12.00 to 0200 so he had to go round again. The light was certainly hard to position; you would never be able to read by it — it only shines on the clock, which is illuminated anyway. Paul Bridges said he was ‘very amused by the lamp idea but agreed that the radio was hard to tune (настроить). Interestingly, however, this model is the third most popular on the market.

3. Clearly aimed at young people, with its brightly coloured casing (корпус), this one appealed to the child in Tom Granger. «I would choose this one because it doesn’t disappear into the background like the others,» he said. In fact, the traditional design of the controls made it the only one the men managed to set up without reading the instruction booklet. Too bad the alarm is allowed a 20-minute margin for error; the manual (инструкция) notes, «the alarm may sound about 10 minutes earlier or later than the pre-set time». Paul Bridges made fun of such a notion, adding that this model was «terribly difficult» and, indeed, «completely useless».

4. The simplest and cheapest of all the models tested, this scored points with Tom Granger because it ‘seemed very standard and took up little space’, but also because it has old-fashioned dial tuning. «It’s more intuitive to set up. With modern push-button tuning you’re never really sure if you’ve pressed all the buttons in the right order so you can’t have confidence that the thing will actually work. He accepted, however, that manufacturers had been obliged to improve the quality of radios because of the advent (введение) of button-tuning. Stuart Harris thought the tuning rather approximate, as did Paul Bridges, but they agreed that the radio quality was fine. The buzzer on this model certainly works; it succeeded in getting them out of bed in just two beeps!

«Фразовые глаголы: готовимся к ЕГЭ»

Авторы: Третьякова Анна Анатольевна, учитель английского языка высшей квалификационной категории МАОУ СОШ №6 с углубленным изучением иностранных языков, г.Северодвинска; Солкова Нина Михайловна, учитель английского языка первой квалификационной категории МАОУ СОШ №6 с углубленным изучением иностранных языков, г.Северодвинска

Фразовые глаголы – это устойчивые сочетания глагола и наречия или глагола и предлога «или глагола с наречием и предлогом одновременно», образующие идиоматическое выражение, значение которого отличается от дословного перевода, составляющих его частей.

Без преувеличения можно сказать, что фразовые глаголы – один из самых сложных лексико-грамматических аспектов английского языка, ввиду своего большого разнообразия и наличия зачастую нескольких лексических значений – от буквальных до идиоматических. В результате при переводе часто возникают проблемы. Поэтому данную тему мы считаем актуальной.

Фразовые глаголы широко используется в повседневной речи, многие их них стали неотъемлемой частью языка средств массовой информации, юриспруденции и экономики.

Фразовые глаголы предоставляют неограниченные возможности выражения практически любых понятий, они расширяют словарный запас и обогащают речь выражениями, без которых невозможно свободное общение на английском языке.

Возьмите любую книгу на английском, газету, журнал, фильм, песню и т.д. и вы непременно столкнетесь с фразовыми глаголами. Статистически речь носителя на 40% состоит из фразовых глаголов, а это почти половина.

Изучение фразовых глаголов в английском языке имеет практическое значение, так как в русском языке нет подобных глагольных образований, что вызывает трудности в употреблении фразовых глаголов среди изучающих английский язык.

Широкое употребление фразовых глаголов характерно для разговорной речи (сюда относятся конечно фильмы, романы и т.п.), а в строго официальной речи их, как правило, избегают, подбирая другие слова или строя предложения по иному.

Мы предлагаем вам пять тестов с ключами для тренировки употребления часто встречающихся фразовых глаголов.
