Задание №14
Прочитайте текст ‘Weather forecasting’ и ответьте на вопросы. Укажите номера выбранных вариантов в талоне ответов под соответствующей буквой (a-e).
Cyclones in India, hurricanes in the Caribbean - severe weather events make news headlines almost weekly. Even Britain, which has comparatively few climate extremes, is still governed by the weather. If it's pouring with rain the British might stay indoors or go to the cinema; if it's fine they'll have a picnic.
For individuals, the worst that can usually happen if the weather catches them on the hop is that they get wet. For business, the effects are far more serious. Airlines and shipping companies need to avoid severe weather and storm-force conditions. Power companies need to make sure they can supply the demand for electricity in cold weather; farmers plan their harvests around the forecast and food manufacturers increase their production of salads and other summer foods when fine weather is promised.
So who or what do meteorologists -weather forecasters as they are more commonly known - rely on when it comes to producing a forecast? Ninety percent of the information comes from weather satellites, the first of which was launched into space nearly forty years ago and was a revolution in the science of forecasting. Up until then, forecasters had relied on human observers to provide details of developing weather systems.
Some commercial aircraft can also be fitted with a range of forecasting instruments although this system has certain disadvantages. For example, it can provide a great deal of information about the weather on popular routes, such as London to New York, but little about the weather on more out-of-the way routes.
Instruments aboard ships can also supply basic weather information as well as important data on wave height. Generally, the range of these instruments is fairly limited but they can indicate which direction rain is coming from, how low the cloud is and give an idea of when the weather system will reach land.
One forecaster who has made a name for himself is a man called Piers Corbyn, who bases his forecasts on watching the Sun. Most forecasters will offer forecasts for only 10 days ahead, but Corbyn's forecasts are for 11 months. Although some meteorologists believe that there is no scientific basis for his work, Corbyn's forecasts are used by insurance companies who want to plan months in advance.
a) What does the writer mean by the phrase 'catches them on the hop' (paragraph 2)?
1) People run for shelter.
2) People are too busy to notice.
3) People are far from home.
4) People are unprepared.
b) Why does the writer list so many different businesses in parag¬raph 2?
1) to give examples of ordinary people's lives
2) to show the extent of the weather's influence
3) to describe the recent effects of the bad weather
4) to explain how people manage in bad weather
c) Why is the first weather satellite described as ‘a revolution'?
1) It watched the human observers.
2) It replaced human observers.
3) It provided long-term forecasts.
4) It forecast the weather in the universe.
d) What does 'it' in paragraph 4 refer to?
1) using balloons
2) using satellites
3) using aircraft
4) using ships
e) What does the author write about Corbyn’s forecasts?
1) They cannot be considered unscientific.
2) They are helpful but short-term.
3) They are used by many people who trust Corbyn.
4) On the whole they are useless.

Задание №16
Прочитайте текст и определите, являются ли следующие утверждения (a – e) истинными или ложными. В талон ответов в первом случае внесите цифру 1, во втором - цифру 2.
Many people think that Ferdinand Magellan was the first person to travel around the world. His expedition was the first to do this but Magellan himself died on the trip when he found himself fighting a battle on an island in the Philippines. The Spanish captain Juan Sebastian Elcano became the new leader of the expedition. He arrived back in Spain in 1522 after a journey of just over three years. Seventeen other members of the original expedition had survived with him.
The British sailor Sir Francis Drake became the first person to lead a complete expedition around the world. His three-year journey began in 1577. On the journey, Drake attacked many Spanish ships carrying gold from the New World. He also took their maps, which were better than his own. These maps helped him to find the best routes to complete his journey.
One of the strangest round the world journeys was by Jason Lewis. Lewis took 13 years to complete his journey. His method of transport? An eight-metre 'pedalo' - a pedal-powered boat. Lewis was the first person to go round the world by human power alone. On land, he travelled by bike and on Rollerblades™! The most terrifying incident during the whole trip was when a salt-water crocodile attacked him while he was in the water in a kayak. He reached a deserted beach and got out of the kayak but the crocodile started to eat the boat. In the end the crocodile left. Jason set fire to the rest of his kayak. A pilot in a small plane saw the smoke and rescued him.
Dee Caffari was born in Britain in 1973. In 2006 she became the first woman to sail solo non-stop around the world the 'wrong way'. The wrong way means going west, against the winds and sea currents. It took her 178 days. In 2008-9 it took her just 99 days to sail alone around the world in the usual direction. And so she became the first woman in history to sail around the world single-handed in both directions. On the voyage, she sailed through icebergs and could only sleep for periods of twenty minutes. When she got back, what she wanted most was a pizza, a diet cola and a bath!
a) It’s a mistake to think that Magellan travelled around the world.
b) Jean Sabastian didn’t manage to bring the victorious expedition back home.
c) Sir Francis Drake’s expedition lasted less than five years.
d) Sir Francis Drake acted like a pirate.
e) During the voyage Dee Caffari couldn’t afford to sleep long.

1
This is another remedy that doesn’t really target the virus itself. Like vitamin C, it should be taken regularly to protect from an infection – by the time a cold starts it’s probably too late. In eight recent trials, four showed a benefit and the other four didn’t. Some people swear by its properties, although the exact mechanism through which such a mineral affects the common cold remains unclear.
2
Far too many are prescribed unnecessarily for colds and flu viruses. In a recent US survey, 60 percent of patients seen by family doctors for a common cold were given one of the range available. Another study, in Switzerland, found that they were effective only in the 20 per cent of patients who had bacterial complications.
3
Over the last 30 years there have been a lot of studies examining the effectiveness of this vitamin. A recent overview of the research suggests that this vitamin does appear to decrease the symptoms of the common cold by an average of 23 per cent. Roger Odd says: “There is some proof it fights against the initial infection, but there is no real evidence that it can make you better once you’ve caught a cold.”
4
This herbal treatment based on root extracts is an increasingly popular remedy, and supposedly boosts the immune system. In a recent German trial, though, there were no significant differences between those who took it and those who were given a placebo.
5
The oldest remedy around. It’s widely believed that breathing in water vapour from a bowl or jug can ease the soreness and discomfort of a cold. It is cheap and safe and some people find it helpful, though there’s no solid evidence to back up the belief.
