Егэ по английскому языку. Готовимся к ЕГЭ по английскому языку
Экзамен ЕГЭ проверяет:
- грамматические навыки базового уровня;
- навыки словообразования;
- лексический запас.
Как подготовиться к лексико-грамматической части ЕГЭ?
- решить как можно больше упражнений по грамматике ;
- вспомнить или освоить навык словообразования;
- пройти тестовые варианты ЕГЭ и понять, где именно встречаются ошибки, над которыми нужно работать.
Прочитайте приведенные ниже тексты. Преобразуйте, если необходимо, слова, чтобы они грамматически соответствовали содержанию текстов. Заполните пропуски полученными словами.
Для того чтобы понять, в какой форме необходимо использовать глагол be , нужно посмотреть на предложение с пропуском. Так, это предложение написано в прошедшем времени (phoned ). Соответственно, нам нужно поставить глагол be в Past Simple в отрицании. Для местоимения she эта форма - wasn’ t .
Глагол build («строить ») - неправильный. Его вторая и третья формы - built, built. В данном предложении важно понять, стена ли кого-то строила или ее строили. Логично, что строили стену. Это значит, что здесь необходимо употребить пассивный залог во времени Past Simple . Таким образом, правильным ответом будет was built , так как пассивный залог (Passive Voice ) - это глагол be в нужной форме (в зависимости от времени) и третья форма смыслового глагола (Participle II/ V 3 ).
Глагол become («становиться ») - неправильный. Его вторая и третья формы - became, become. Для того чтобы понять, какую форму этого глагола необходимо использовать в данном предложении, нужно выяснить, нет ли в предложении «сигнальных» слов. Такое слово есть - since , и оно указывает на Present Perfect . Правильным ответом будет форма has become .
Слово nature («природа ») является существительным . После пропуска также стоит существительное - beauty («красота »), то есть на месте пропуска должно стоять некое определение. Роль определения в предложении обычно играет прилагательное, и от слова nature прилагательным будет natural .
Most of the land in National Parks is privately owned, but administered by an independent National Park Authority which works to balance the expectations of __________ with the need to conserve these open spaces for future generations. |
visit |
Слово visit («посещать ») - это глагол . Посмотрев на слова перед пропуском - the expectations of («ожидания кого-то/чего-то ») - можно понять, что нам необходимо существительное - «ожидания посетителей » (visitors ). На то, что существительное должно стоять во множественном числе , указывает отсутствие неопределенного артикля перед пропуском.
В данном предложении пропущено подлежащее, то есть из существительного science («наука ») необходимо образовать другое существительное, способное исполнить роль этого подлежащего. Более того, новое существительное должно стоять во множественном числе , так как в сказуемое входит глагол be в форме множественного числа - are . Новым существительным будет слово scientists - «ученые ».
- строго следуйте инструкции и внимательно читайте задание ;
- прежде чем заполнить пропуск, внимательно прочитайте предложение и найдите «сигнальные» слова , которые подскажут вам, в какое время необходимо поставить глагол или какая часть речи требуется;
- не оставляйте пропуски незаполненными , даже если вы не знаете правильный ответ;
- пишите четко и аккуратно .

As one approaches some crossroads, one comes to a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other cross roads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop (unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road); and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.
Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroads. It had a "Slow" sign, so he slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.
At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled in to the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and pencil in his hand and said, "You didn"t stop at that crossing."
"But the sign there doesn"t say "Stop"," answered Mr. Williams. "It just says "Slow", and I did go slow."
The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pencil away, scratched his head and said, "Well, I"ll be blowed! I am in the wrong street!"

Before the last war, officers in the navy had a lot more freedom when their ship was in port than they have nowadays. They were expected to lead a busy social life, and to take an active part in sport ashore. It was therefore rather difficult for them to find time to do all their other duties.
Usually, all the officers in a ship used to have a regular meeting together once a week to receive orders from their captain, make reports and discuss any business that had to be discussed, such as who should represent the ship in the next football match.
One such meeting was being held on board a ship one day, and after the regular business had been completed, the time came to discuss the date of the next meeting. Friday of the next week was suggested, and so was Monday of the week after, but both of them interfered with somebody"s arrangements for the weekend, and in the end it was generally agreed that the meeting should be held on Wednesday, as this would be the least likely day to inter fere with anybody"s convenience, since it was right in the middle of the week.
As the officers were leaving, however, one of them was heard to say, "Wednesday is the worst day, because it interferes with two weekends!"

Some young soldiers who had recently joined the army were being trained in modern ways of fighting, and one of the things they were shown was how an unarmed man could trick an armed enemy and take his weapon away from him. First one of their two instructors took a knife away from the other, using only his bare hands; and then he took a rifle away from him in the same way.
After the lesson, and before they went on to train the young soldiers to do these things themselves, the two instructors asked them a number of questions to see how well they had understood what they had been shown.

A certain poet had written a play, and arrangements were being made to perform it. Of course, the poet was asked to give his advice on the scenery, the lighting, and all the other things that help to make a play successful, and he proved to be a very difficult man to please, as he had his own very definite ideas of how each scene should look.
In one of the scenes in the play, it was necessary to produce the effect of a wonderful sunset, which the young lovers watched together before sing ing one of their great love songs.
The theatre electricians worked very hard to produce this sunset effect. They tried out all kinds of arrangements and combinations of lights-red lights, orange lights, yellow lights, blue lights, lights from above, lights from behind, lights from the front, lights from the sides-but nothing satisfied the poet, until suddenly he saw exactly the effect that he had been dreaming of producing ever since he had written his play.
"That"s it!" he shouted excitedly to the electricians behind the stage. "That"s just right! Keep it exactly like that!"
"I"m sorry, sir," answered the chief electrician, "but we can"t keep it like this."
"Why ever not?" asked the poet angrily.
"Because the theatre is on fire, sir," answered the chief electrician." That"s what"s producing the effect you can see now!"

Mrs. Baker"s sister was ill. She had someone to look after her from Monday to Friday, but not at the weekend, so every Friday evening Mrs. Baker used to go off to spend the weekend with her at her home in a neighbour ing town. But as Mr. Baker could not cook, she had arranged for his sister to come over and spend the weekend looking after him at their home.
This meant that Mr. Baker had quite a busy time when he came home from work on Friday evenings. First he had to drive home from the railway station. Then he had to drive his wife to the station to catch her train. And then he had to wait until his sister"s train arrived, so as to take her to his house.
Of course, on Sunday evening he had to drive his sister to the station to catch her train back home, and then wait for his wife"s train, so as to bring her home.
One Sunday evening he had seen his sister off on her train and was wait ing for his wife"s arrival when a porter, who had often seen him at the station, came over and spoke to him.
"You are having a lot of fun," he said. "But one day one of those women is going to catch you with the other, and then you will be in real trouble!"

A young man, who earned his living as a drummer in a band, had just married, and he and his wife were looking for somewhere to live. They saw a lot of places, but there was always something that one of them did not like about them. At last, however, they found a block of new flats which both of them really liked. However, there was still the problem of whether they should take one of the ground-floor flats, which had a small garden, or one of the upstairs ones.
At last they decided on a first-floor flat-not too low down and not too high up-and moved in. After they had bought furniture, carpets, curtains, and all the rest, they gave a big party to celebrate the setting up of their first home together.
It was a gay and noisy party, as all the host"s friends from the band came and played their instruments. The guests danced, sang and practised on their host"s drums.
Soon after one a.m. the telephone rang. The hostess went to answer it in the hall, and after she had finished, came back with a happy smile on her face and said to her husband, "That was the man who has just moved into the flat downstairs telephoning, dear. I am so glad we decided not to choose it. He says it is terribly noisy down there."

Just after the last war, people were very willing to give money to help those who had suffered from it. But not everyone who collected money was honest. The newspapers were full of stories of people who had been cheated by men who went from house to house saying that they were collecting for soldiers who had been seriously wounded in the war, or for people who had lost their homes, or for some other noble cause, while all the time they were putting the money they collected into their own pockets instead of using it for the purposes they claimed to be collecting it for.
One day Mr. Smith came back with another story of this kind. He told his wife that a group of people had collected thousands of dollars for the widow of the Unknown Soldier. Then someone had written to the papers about it, and they had written articles to warn other people. Mr. Smith said that he and his friends at the office had had a good laugh about the story when they had read it in the newspaper.
"Can you imagine anyone being so stupid as to believe that story and give money for the widow of the Unknown Soldier?" he asked his wife.
She looked puzzled at first, but then her face brightened. "Oh, yes! I see now!" she answered. "Of course, the government pays the widow of the Unknown Soldier!"

Mr. and Mrs. Davies had left their Christmas shopping very late. There were only a few days more before Christmas, and of course the shops and streets were terribly crowded, but they had to get presents for their family and friends, so they started out early one morning for the big city, and spent several tiring hours buying the things they wanted in the big shops.
By lunch-time, Mr. Davies was loaded down with parcels of all shapes and sizes. He could hardly see where he was going as he and his wife left the last shop on their way to the railway station and home. Outside the shop they had to cross a busy street, made even busier than usual by the thousands of people who had come by car to do their last-minute Christmas shopping.
Mr. and Mrs. Davies had to wait for the traffic lights to change, but as Mr. Davies could not see in front of him properly, he gradually moved forward into the road without realizing it. Mrs. Davies saw this and became worried. Several times she urged her husband to come back off the road, but without success. He could not hear her because of the noise of the traffic.
Finally she shouted in a voice that could be heard clearly above all the noise, "Henry! If you intend to stand in that dangerous position a moment longer, give me the parcels!"
