Задание №12
Вы проводите информационный поиск в ходе выполнения проектной работы. Определите, в каком из текстов A–F содержатся ответы на интересующие Вас вопросы 1–7. Один из вопросов останется без ответа. Занесите Ваши ответы в таблицу.
| 1. | When did people start measuring time? |
| 2. | What units have ever been used to measure time? |
| 3. | How did people know the time before clocks were invented? |
| 4. | What is the oldest clock still working today? |
| 5. | Are there still any societies that do not measure time? |
| 6. | Can time flow faster or slower? |
| 7. | Is it possible to make time go backwards? |
| A. | Different cultures had different ways to calculate the duration of time. They expressed it in days and years, which was based on the Earth’s movement around its axis and around the Sun. Months were originally connected to the cycle of the Moon. Later, people divided the day into hours, minutes, and seconds. In medieval Europe, people expressed the length of time in candles, measuring it by how fast a candle burned. |
| B. | The universal units to measure time, such as hours, minutes and seconds, suggest that time always moves at a constant speed. People, however, may feel time differently: it seems to pass quickly when we are happy or busy, and very slowly when we are bored or waiting. In science, particularly in Einstein’s theory of relativity, time can actually move differently depending on speed and gravitational effects – and astronauts can experience this. |
| C. | Nowadays, our daily life is planned, and we have schedules to follow.However, people in some Aboriginal communities still live without clocks and strict time measurement. For example, there are tribes in the Amazon and on Pacific islands who organise their lives according to natural cycles – sunrise, sunset, seasons, or weather – rather than exact hours or minutes. The Hadza people, from Tanzania,alsolive happily without knowing what a clock is. |
| D. | Time is one of the most mysterious and important parts of human life. People have always wanted to understand it. The first attempts were made thousands of years ago in ancient civilizations such as Egypt and Mesopotamia. Around 1500 BC, Egyptians used large stone sundials. The Chinese had probably started to mark hours even earlier; they had their own sundials, which showed the time using the shadow of a stick or a carved plate. |
| E. | A clock’s hands mark the passing seconds.While science-fiction films and books often use a time-travel plot, in reality it remains impossible. Most scientists agree that time only moves forward, and so far, there is no proof that it is able to change its direction. Still, scientists who study the nature of time occasionally come up with quite extravagant theories. They suggest that the universe might be more complex than we can currently understand. |
| F. | In the past, people did not have mechanical or electronic devices to measure time, and they relied on nature. They looked at the position of the Sun and the stars, used the phases of the Moon, and marked the length of shadows. Sundials were common in many parts of the world, and water clocks, or sand clocks (called hourglasses) were used for shorter periods of time. Bells in towns and monasteries also reminded people when to pray, work, or rest. |

The Knights of Camelot
The story about Camelot, the kingdom ruled by King Arthur, is popular with writers and film producers. You have probably seen films and serials about it, and such names as Queen Guinevere and Sir Lancelot sound familiar. Some people believe they were real, while others think Camelot and its inhabitants were only a legend.
There is no real proof that Camelot ever existed. Historians and archaeologists have searched for it, but they have not found any clear evidence. Anyway, they do not give up, and believe that Camelot was probably inspired by real places in Britain. Possible locations that researchers suggest are an old hill fort, where local legends say Arthur once lived, and a Roman fortress town connected with old Arthurian tales.
Despite the absence of material evidence, there are many references to Camelot in literature. Camelot was mentioned for the first time in the 12th century by a French writer, and there were other stories and poems after that. They differ a lot, as the storytellers added their own vision and interpretation of the events. The things that all the versions have in common are the famous sword, Excalibur, and the Round Table.
Excalibur was not an ordinary sword. Its name comes from Latin and French words meaning ‘cut steel.’ For a long time, it had been stuck in a large stone and nobody could pull it out. Theold tale said that only the true king would be able to do that, and Arthur proved to be that king. He pulled the sword out of the stone, and the people of the kingdom gladly accepted their young ruler. According to other stories, however, it was the Lady of the Lake who gave the sword to Arthur as a magical gift. When Arthur died, Excalibur was returned to her.
The Round Table, another symbol of Camelot, was the place where Arthur and his knights gathered. In some films, it is featured as a massive rock or stone construction, but the old legends insist that the huge table was made of wood. Yes, it was created from a single large piece of oak, and all sorts of golden ornaments and other decorations were added by storytellers much later. The table had no head or end, which meant that all the knights were equal, and as important as the king himself.
Camelot was meant to become the Kingdom of brave, generous and free people, but in the end, the dream began to fall apart. The unity of the Round Table was broken, and Arthur fought his last battle against his own knight. Arthur was badly wounded and carried to the island of Avalon, where he still rests. Nobody has ever seen his grave yet, and even the legends do not give us any clue about exactly where it might be. Some legends, however, say that King Arthur will return one day, when Britain needs him again.

According to other stories, however, it was the Lady of the Lake who gave the sword to Arthur as a magical gift. When Arthur died, Excalibur was returned to her.
The Round Table, another symbol of Camelot, was the place where Arthur and his knights gathered. In some films, it is featured as a massive rock or stone construction, but the old legends insist that the huge table was made of wood. Yes, it was created from a single large piece of oak, and all sorts of golden ornaments and other decorations were added by storytellers much later. The table had no head or end, which meant that all the knights were equal, and as important as the king himself.
Camelot was meant to become the Kingdom of brave, generous and free people, but in the end, the dream began to fall apart. The unity of the Round Table was broken, and Arthur fought his last battle against his own knight. Arthur was badly wounded and carried to the island of Avalon, where he still rests. Nobody has ever seen his grave yet, and even the legends do not give us any clue about exactly where it might be. Some legends, however, say that King Arthur will return one day, when Britain needs him again.

Dear Emily,
Thanks for your letter! I completely understand your fear, Maths tests always make me nervous too.
To answer your questions, the most difficult subject for me is Chemistry, because I find it hard to remember all the formulas and reactions. To improve my English, I watch films in English with subtitles and try to read short stories every week. Apart from English, I would like to learn Spanish, because it's spoken in many countries and sounds really beautiful to me.
Do you enjoy Maths lessons, or do you find them difficult too?
Anyway, I must finish now, I still have some homework to do.
Best wishes,
Alex

Since 2007 high-speed trains have become a common type of transport in Europe. They make it possible to cut travel times by hours. The trains travel at 350 kilometres an hour, and this is not the limit! The only problem for the engineers is the loud noise the trains produce. People living in the areas the trains travel through suffer from the noise greatly. For the passengers, the situation is different. For their comfort, all the carriages are made sound-proof from the inside. Travelling on high-speed trains is comfortable and pleasant. In the future, a high-speed railroad network could cover most of Europe. For example, a trip from Paris to Rome could take only 3 hours!

Критерий «Фонетическая сторона речи» оценивает верность звуков и ударения, естественность интонации в повествовательных и восклицательных предложениях и отсутствие пауз, меняющих смысл. В этом тексте есть слова-ловушки: Europe — начинается со звука /j/, а не с «э» (YOO-rəp); engineers — ударение на последнем слоге (en-gi-NEERS), «g» читается как /dʒ/; comfort и comfortable — ударение на первом слоге (COM-fort), а не на последнем, как в русском слове; carriages — окончание «-ages» даёт два слога /ɪdʒɪz/; hours — буква «h» не произносится, слово звучит как /aʊərz/.
Ответ: чтение текста о высокоскоростных поездах вслух с верным ударением в Europe, engineers, comfort и немым «h» в hours, без искажающих смысл пауз.

Task 3. You are going to give a talk about animals. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:
You have to talk continuously.
Устное задание
Ответ на это задание записывается голосом. Запись и проверка доступны в режиме пробного экзамена.
Решение
Разбор. I would like to talk about animals. In my region, there are wild animals such as foxes, wolves, deer and various birds living in the forests nearby. Some smaller animals like squirrels and hedgehogs can even be seen close to residential areas. I do not think it is a good idea to keep a wild animal as a pet because wild animals have natural instincts and need space and freedom that a house cannot provide. Keeping them at home can also be dangerous both for the animal and for the owner. People build zoos in cities and towns so that everyone, especially children, can learn about different species without travelling far. Zoos also help to protect endangered animals and support scientific research. My attitude to zoos is generally positive, although I believe animals should be kept in conditions similar to their natural habitat. A good zoo should focus on education and conservation rather than just entertainment. I enjoy visiting zoos occasionally to observe animals that I would never see in the wild. However, I always hope that the animals there are treated with care and respect. In conclusion, wild animals deserve our protection whether they live freely or in a well-run zoo.
