Moscow: Forever Young and Beautiful

Alexander is a Muscovite and he knows a lot about the history of Moscow. Moscow is the capital of Russia and of the Moscow region. It is the administrative centre of the Central district. It is situated on the Moscow River. Moscow is Russia’s largest city and the leading economic and cultural centre. Moscow is governed by a city council and a mayor and is divided into boroughs. The heart of Moscow is the Kremlin, a walled city

in itself. Its walls represent the city limits as of the late 15th century. The hub of

the Russian railway network, Moscow is also a port and has several civilian and

military airports.

Adjoining the Kremlin in the east there is Red Square. It originally was a marketplace and a meeting spot for popular assemblies. Red Square is still used as a parade ground and for demonstrations. One of the most wonderful examples of Russian architecture is St Basil’s Cathedral. In front of the cathedral there stands a monument to the liberators Minin and Pozharskiy.

The village of Moscow was first mentioned in the Russian Chronicles in 1147. And this year it was founded by Yuri Dolgorukiy In the 15th century Moscow became the capital of the Russian national state, and in 1547 Grand Duke Ivan IV became the first Tsar.

Built largely of wood until the 19th century, Moscow suffered from numerous fires. The most well-known of them occurred during Napoleon’s occupation in 1812. Rebuilt, Moscow developed as a major textile and metallurgical centre. During the 19th and early 20th centuries it was the principal centre of the labour movement and social democracy.

During World War II, Moscow was the goal of the German offensive. Although the German columns were stopped only about 40 km from the city’s centre, Moscow suffered virtually no war damage.

The city hosted the Olympic Games in 1980.

In the 1990s the city began to attract foreign investment and became increasingly westernized. Many reconstruction projects were launched. Nowadays Moscow is even more beautiful with its modern cafes, shops and offices of European standard.

Are these statements true or false? Correct the false ones.   

  1. Moscow is governed by a mayor.
  2. Moscow has several ports.
  3. Minin and Pozharskiy founded Moscow in 1147.
  4. The monument to Yuri Dolgorukiy stands in Red Square.
  5. St Basil’s Cathedral is located within the territory of the Kremlin.
  6. The first Russian Tsar was Ivan the Terrible.
  7. In the 15th century Moscow became the capital of the Russian Federation.
  8. During World War II Moscow was occupied by the German troops.

TEXT II

1. Read after the speaker:

British, Edward Tylor, the
British Association for the Advancement of Science

2. Pay attention to the following words and word-combinations:

Acquisition, efficient,
advancement, exhaustive, advertiser, inspire, ample, intricately,
anthropologist, inventory, apparent, involve, aspiration, major,
association, manual, awareness, observation, behaviour, patterned,
committee, significant, component, socially, consciousness,
threshold, creative, value.

What is Culture?

The word culture can be used
in two senses: to mean the whole way of life of a definite group of
people; and to mean the arts, learning, and all creative efforts. The
second meaning is usually referred to as “high culture.”

The modern definition of
culture was first proposed by the nineteenth-century British
anthropologist, Edward Tylor, who defined it as socially patterned
human thought and behaviour.

The first inventory of
categories was undertaken in 1872 by a committee of the British
Association for the Advancement of Science, which was assisted by
Tylor. The committee prepared an anthropological field manual that
listed seventy-six culture topics. The most exhaustive list was first
published in 1938 and is still used as a guide.

Culture involves at least
three components: what people think, what they do, and the material
products they produce. Thus, mental processes, beliefs, knowledge,
and values are parts of culture.

Culture can be defined as
ideas, customs, skills, arts, tools, aspirations, and attitudes,
which characterize a given group of people in a given period of time.
It is a system of integrated patterns, most of which remain below the
threshold of consciousness, yet all of which influence human
behaviour. Culture is the context within which we exist, think, feel,
and relate to others. It is the “glue” that binds a group of
people together.

A language is a part of
culture and culture is a part of a language; the two are intricately
interwoven, so one cannot separate the two without losing the
significance of either language or culture. It is apparent that
culture, as an ingrained set of behaviour and models of perception,
becomes highly important in the learning of a second language. The
acquisition of a second language is also the acquisition of a second
culture. Both linguists and anthropologists bear ample testimony to
this observation.

Culture – beliefs,
attitudes, aspirations, pragmatic designs and fantasies, actions and
reactions – is studied by advertisers all over the world.
Advertisers try to
find ways that might inspire people of a given culture to buy a
product of one manufacturer rather than of another. Although the
great role of the language used in advertisements is undeniable, the
knowledge of cultural concepts is quite a significant factor, too.
Cultural awareness of advertisers can make advertising campaigns more
efficient, bringing major practical results.

Multiple Matching
Множественное Совпадение

In this part of the exam, there are five monologues and six statements before you listen and underline the key words. Listen for words that mean the same as the words you have underlined — the exact words will not be in the recording. Try to think of why the speaker is talking: to describe or explain something or to give some other kind of information.

В этой части экзамена есть пять монологов и шесть утверждений, прежде чем вы прослушаете их и подчеркнёте ключевые слова. Послушайте слова, которые означают то же самое, что и подчеркнутые вами слова — в записи этих слов не будет. Постарайтесь подумать, почему говорящий говорит: чтобы описать или объяснить что-то или дать какую-то другую информацию.

Speaker 1
Rescue teams worked through the night trying to get to anyone trapped beneath the rubble after Tuesday’s violent tremors in Jakarta yesterday. Five people, including a four-month-old baby, were pulled out alive. The area continued to suffer mild aftershocks although none led to any further damage. Better weather has helped the teams after Tuesday night’s heavy rain and they are optimistic about finding more survivors over the next hours and days.

Говорящий 1
Спасательные команды работали всю ночь, пытаясь добраться до тех, кто оказался в ловушке под обломками после вчерашних сильных подземных толчков во вторник в Джакарте. Пять человек, включая четырёхмесячного ребёнка, были вытащены живыми. Этот район продолжал испытывать слабые подземные толчки, хотя ни один из них не привёл к каким-либо дальнейшим разрушениям. Улучшившаяся погода помогла командам после сильного дождя во вторник вечером, и они с оптимизмом смотрят на то, что в ближайшие часы и дни удастся найти ещё больше выживших.

Speaker 2
Flights are being cancelled all over Europe as the ash cloud is drifting down from the north. That’s going to cause huge problems for people going on holiday, but the authorities say there’s nothing they can do and it’s just a matter of waiting until the skies are clear again. There is no danger to residents in towns and cities close to the eruption, but citizens are advised to go out only if absolutely necessary and close all windows.

Говорящий 2
Рейсы отменяются по всей Европе из-за того, что облако пепла опускается с севера. Это создаст огромные проблемы для людей, отправляющихся в отпуск, но власти говорят, что они ничего не могут сделать, и остаётся только ждать, пока небо снова не прояснится. В городах и посёлках, близких к извержению, нет никакой опасности для жителей, но гражданам рекомендуется выходить на улицу только в случае крайней необходимости и закрывать все окна.

Speaker 3
Many residents in the tiny village of Brevington woke this morning to find streets and homes under 35 cm of water. Heavy rains over the previous few days caused the river to burst its banks unexpectedly for the first time in over a century. Shop and home owners were not prepared and cleaning up the damage could cost them over half a million pounds. The waters are still rising, but conditions are expected to improve later in the day.

Говорящий 3
Многие жители крошечной деревни Бревингтон проснулись сегодня утром и обнаружили, что улицы и дома находятся под 35-сантиметровым слоем воды. Проливные дожди, прошедшие в предыдущие несколько дней, привели к тому, что река неожиданно вышла из берегов впервые за более чем столетие. Владельцы магазинов и домов не были готовы, и устранение ущерба могло обойтись им более чем в полмиллиона фунтов стерлингов. Уровень воды всё ещё поднимается, но ожидается, что позже в тот же день условия улучшатся.

Speaker 4
Three skiers were still missing last night after a huge avalanche in the French Alps. Tom Haverley, an experienced ski instructor in the Three Valleys area, said yesterday that visitors to that area had been warned of the high chance of avalanches and the missing skiers should not have risked skiing there. Rescue workers are doing everything they can to find the skiers, but hope for their safety is fading.

Говорящий 4
Три лыжника всё ещё числятся пропавшими без вести прошлой ночью после схода огромной лавины во французских Альпах. Том Хаверли, опытный инструктор по лыжным гонкам в районе Трёх долин, вчера сказал, что посетители этого района были предупреждены о высокой вероятности схода лавин, и пропавшим лыжникам не следовало рисковать кататься там на лыжах. Спасатели делают все возможное, чтобы найти лыжников, но надежда на их безопасность тает.

Speaker 5
Last night’s high winds reached 128 km per hour in some areas, causing extensive damage to property. Passengers on the 192 bus in Stockley were lucky to be alive after a falling tree crashed onto the roof, throwing passengers from their seats. Amazingly, no one was  eriously hurt in the accident although several people were taken to hospital suffering from shock. 

Говорящий 5
Сильный ветер прошлой ночью в некоторых районах достигал 128 км в час, причинив значительный материальный ущерб. Пассажирам автобуса 192 в Стокли повезло остаться в живых после того, как падающее дерево обрушилось на крышу, выбросив пассажиров со своих мест. Удивительно, но в результате аварии никто серьёзно не пострадал, хотя несколько человек были доставлены в больницу в состоянии шока.

A The broadcast showing medical tests on an alien was shown in the late 1940s. F

(In 1995, one of the biggest broadcasting networks in the USA aired a programme showing a team of scientists examning what was said to be the body of an extraterrestrial being.)

Передача, показывающая медицинские тесты инопланетянина, была показана в конце 1940-х годов.

(В 1995 году одна из крупнейших вещательных сетей США выпустила в эфир программу, в которой группа ученых исследовала то, что, как утверждалось, было телом внеземного существа.)

B The footage was filmed in New Mexico. NS
Отснятый материал был снят в Нью-Мексико.

C Later, it was announced that the whole story had been a lie. T

(one of the people … publicly admitted that the whole story had indeed been made up. )

Позже было объявлено, что вся эта история была ложью.

(один из людей … публично признал, что вся эта история действительно была выдумана)


In 1995, one of the biggest broadcasting networks in the USA aired a programme showing a team of scientists examning what was said to be the body of an extraterrestrial being. The footage supposedly dated back to 1947 and showed doctors carrying out medical tests on a creature that had landed on Roswell, New Mexico from another planet. It was shown in 33 countries around the world. Even when it first went on the air, many people suspected this was nothing more than a trick. It was not until 2006, however, when one of the people involved in the making of the programme publicly admitted that the whole story had indeed been made up. 

В 1995 году одна из крупнейших телерадиовещательных сетей США выпустила в эфир программу, в которой группа учёных исследовала то, что, как говорили, было телом внеземного существа. Видеозапись предположительно датируется 1947 годом и показывает, как врачи проводят медицинские тесты на существе, которое приземлилось в Розуэлле, штат Нью-Мексико, с другой планеты. Фильм был показан в 33 странах по всему миру. Даже когда он впервые вышел в эфир, многие люди подозревали, что это не более чем уловка. Однако только в 2006 году один из людей, участвовавших в создании программы, публично признал, что вся эта история действительно была выдумана.
