1. Пояснительная записка

1.1. Общие положения

Контрольно-оценочные средства (КОС) предназначены для контроля и оценки образовательных достижений обучающихся, освоивших программу учебной дисциплины «Иностранный язык».

КОС включают контрольные материалы для проведения текущего контроля и промежуточной аттестации в форме дифференцированного зачета.

КОС разработаны на основании программы подготовки специалистов среднего звена:

08.02.01 Строительство и эксплуатация зданий и сооружений, 08.02.08 Монтаж и эксплуатация оборудования и систем газоснабжения, 15.02.01 Монтаж и техническая эксплуатация промышленного оборудования (по отраслям), 15.02.07 Автоматизация технологических процессов и производств, 20.02.04 Пожарная безопасность, 40.02.01 Право и организация социального обеспечения -2-4 курс, программы учебной дисциплины «Иностранный язык».

Целью создания КОС по дисциплине «Иностранный язык» является установление соответствия уровня подготовки обучающихся требованиям программы учебной дисциплины.

Задачи КОС по дисциплине «Иностранный язык» включают в себя:

- контроль и управление процессом приобретения обучающимися необходимых знаний, умений и навыков и оценки образовательных достижений обучающихся, освоивших программу учебной дисциплины «Иностранный язык», формирования общих и профессиональных компетенций по соответствующей специальности;

- оценку персональных достижений обучающихся в процессе изучения дисциплины «Иностранный язык» с выделением положительных (отрицательных) результатов и планирование предупреждающих (корректирующих) мероприятий;

- обеспечение соответствия результатов обучения задачам будущей профессиональной деятельности через совершенствование традиционных и внедрение инновационных методов обучения.

- развитие иноязычной коммуникативной компетенции (речевой, языковой, социокультурной, компенсаторной, учебно-познавательной):

речевая компетенция – совершенствование коммуникативных умений в четырех основных видах речевой деятельности (говорении, аудировании, чтении и письме);

языковая компетенция– овладение новыми языковыми средствами в соответствии с темами: увеличение объема используемых лексических единиц; развитие навыков оперирования языковыми единицами в коммуникативных целях;

социокультурная компетенция – увеличение объема знаний о социокультурной специфике стран изучаемого языка, совершенствование умений строить свое речевое и неречевое поведение адекватно этой специфике, формирование умений выделять общее и специфическое в культуре родной страны и стран изучаемого языка;

компенсаторная компетенция–развитие умений объясняться в условиях дефицита языковых средств при получении и передаче иноязычной информации;

учебно-познавательная компетенция – развитие общих и специальных учебных умений, позволяющих совершенствовать учебную деятельность по овладению иностранным языком, удовлетворять с его помощью познавательные интересы в других областях знания.

Контрольно-оценочные средства отражают современные тенденции и требования к обучению практическим владением иностранным языком в повседневном общении и профессиональной деятельности, направлены на повышение общей коммуникативной культуры специалиста среднего звена, совершенствование коммуникативных умений и навыков, повышение качества профессионального образования, интеллектуализацию и повышение мобильности студента. КОС в процессе обучения иностранному языку позволяют установить качество теоретических знаний и практических умений и навыков обучающихся.

TEXT 1: The Russian Federation

The Russian Federation is the largest country in the world. It occupies about 1/7 (one-seventh) of the Earth surface. The country is situated in Eastern Europe, Northern and Central Asia. Its total area is over 17 million square kilometres.

The Russian Federation is washed by 12 seas of three oceans: the Arctic, the Atlantic and the Pacific. In the south and in the west the country borders on fourteen countries. It also has a sea-border with the USA.

There are no countries in the world where such a great variety of flora and fauna can be found as in our land. Our country has numerous forests, plains and steppes, taiga and tundra, highlands and deserts. The highest mountains in our land are the Altai, the Urals and the Caucasus. There are over two thousand rivers in the Russian Federation. The longest of them are the Volga, the Ob', the Yenisei, the Lena and the Amur. Our land is also rich in lakes with the deepest lake in the world, the Baikal, included.

The territory of the Russian Federation is divided into 11 time zones. The climate conditions are rather different: from arctic and moderate to continental and subtropical. Our country is one of the richest in natural resources countries in the world: oil, natural gas, coal, different ores, ferrous and non-ferrous metals and other minerals.

The Russian Federation is a multinational state. It comprises many national districts, several autonomous republics and regions. The population of the country is about 140 million people.

Moscow, the capital of Russian Federation, is the largest political, scientific, cultural and industrial center of the country and one of the most beautiful cities on the globe. Russian is the official language of the state. The national symbols of the Russian Federation are a white-blue-red banner and a double-headed eagle.

The Russian Federation is a constitutional republic headed by the President. The country government consists of three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. The President controls only the executive branch of power — the government, but not the Supreme Court and Federal Assembly.

The legislative power belongs to the Federal Assembly comprising two chambers: the Council

of Federation (upper Chamber) and the State Duma (lower Chamber). Each chamber is headed by the Speaker. The executive power belongs to the government (the Cabinet of Ministers) headed by the Prime Minister. The judicial power belongs to the system of courts comprising the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court and federal courts. Our country has a multiparty system.

The foreign policy of the Russian Federation is that of international cooperation, peace and friendship with all nations irrespective of their political and social systems.

Thousands of workmen were brought from all parts of Russia to build a new city on the swampy land at the mouth of the Neva River. Peter the Great was in a hurry. The work was fast and hard, and workmen dropped dead by the hundreds. But the work went on.

Under later rulers the new capital of the Russian Empire grew rapidly in wealth and beauty. Architects were brought from Western Europe to lay out the city in harmonious squares. Buildings were constructed of grey and rose-coloured granite. The Hermitage Palace and the Winter Palace, the homes of the tsars, were equal to any in Europe.

When the First World War began in 1914, the German-sounding name, St Petersburg, was changed to Petrograd. After the October Revolution the city was renamed after Lenin. During the Great Patriotic War the city suffered a great deal. The German armies laid siege to it in 1941, and for the next year and a half it was cut off from the rest of the country. No food could be brought in, and people died of starvation. Daily shelling and air raids destroyed parts of the city. Thousands of people were killed. Rebuilding took years.

Now St Petersburg is an important industrial, cultural and educational centre. The population of the city is over 5 million. St Petersburg is indeed a wonderful city: at every turn there is something to catch your eye. The Winter Palace, the Hermitage, the Russian Museum, St Isaac's Cathedral, the Peter-and-Paul Fortress, the Admiralty building attract thousands of tourists from every corner of the world. Petersburg's many museums house some of the world's most famous art collections. The Hermitage, for example, contains the richest collection of pictures in the world. The city is called the Northern Venice because there are 65 rivers, arms and canals there with artistically decorated bridges. It's also famous for its beautiful white nights.

TEXT The Tower of London

The Tower of London is one of the most imposing and popular of London's historical sites. It comprises not one, but 20 towers. The oldest of which, the White Tower, dates back to the llth century and the time of William the Conqueror. Nowadays a lot of tourists visit the Tower of London, because of the Tower's evil reputation as a prison. The Tower is famous as home of the Crown Jewels. Today they can be viewed in their new jewel house. They include the Crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother which contains the celebrated Indian diamond. Many stories associated with British history come from the Tower. In 1483 King Edward IV's two sons were murdered in the so-called Bloody Tower. Over two centuries later the skeletons of two little boys were found buried beneath steps in the White Tower. Traitor's Gate has steps leading down to the River Thames. Countless prisoners, including the future Queen Elizabeth I of England, were brought to the Tower by barge and ascended the steps before being imprisoned. For many it was their last moment of freedom before their death. But Elizabeth was released from the Tower and became Queen. The King's second wife, Anne Boleyn, was brought to trial there in 1536 and beheaded. Six years later her cousin, Catherine, Henry VIII's fifth wife, suffered the same fate. Sir Thomas More was beheaded there in 1535. Of course, no visit to the Tower would be complete without seeing the ravens; huge black birds who are an official part of the Tower community.

Legend states that if the ravens were to leave the Tower the Crown will fall, and Britain with it. Under the special care of the Raven Master, the ravens are fed a daily diet of raw meat. And there is no danger of them flying away, because their wings are clipped.

It is not a very large city, but it is very important as the capital of the USA. There is a law in Washington against building structures higher than the Capitol.

Washington has many historical places. The largest and tallest is the Capitol, where the Congress meets. It is a very beautiful building with white marble columns. Not far from the Capitol is the Library of Congress. It holds five million books.

The White House, the residence of the president is the oldest public structure in the capital and one of the most beautiful. It was built in 1799. It is a two storied white building. Not far from the Capitol is the Washington monument, which looks like a very big pencil. It rises 160 metres and it is empty inside. A special lift brings visitors to the top in 70 seconds, from w⁷here they can enjoy the view of the city.

The Jefferson Memorial was built in memory of the third President of the USA Thomas Jefferson, who was also the author of the Declaration of Independence. The Memorial is surrounded by cherry trees.

Some facts about Canada.

The Eskimos. The Eskimo is a very creative man. He lives where there are few raw materials, yet he has invented a great number of things; not only tents, canoes, and clothes of skins. He has made dog sleds, snowshoes, games and toys for his children, lamps spoons, and different tools.

Schools. In Canada, when birds fly south in autumn, school bells ring and everywhere across the land children sit again at their desks. Some of the schools are modern buildings; some have only one or two rooms. On the prairies, children from distant farms go by bus to big schools. In Quebec, children and teachers speak French, schoolbooks are written in French.

Games and Sports. Canadians both children and grown-ups, play different games-baseball, football, volleyball, ice-hockey, tennis and a great number of other games. Ice-hockey is Canada's national sport and everyone from grandfather down to the youngest child is a fan. Children take to skis and skates almost as soon as they can walk, and snowshoes in some places are standard equipment for getting to school.

TEXT French Canada.

Canada's beginnings were French; and even now French is the language spoken by about one fifth of Canadians. Canada has two official Languages - English and French. The St. Lawrence

Valley was the heart of the French colony in North America up to the middle of the 18^th century.

When the British gained control of Canada, about half of the French inhabitants moved south to the French colonies along the Mississippi River. But the St. Lawrence River, from Montreal to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, may still be called a French river.

Quebec is the home of the French Canadian nation, and Quebec City is the capital of the province. Quebec is Canada's largest province. More than a quarter of all the population of Canada lives in this province. Not all of the inhabitants of Quebec are French Canadians; ten per cent of them speak only English. There are French Canadians not only in the province of Quebec, they live and work in other provinces too.

Montreal, the main St. Lawrence port, is the second largest French city in the world - after Paris.

French Canada still keeps some of its old traditions, but it is a mistake to say that Quebec is very different from the rest of Canada; every year the difference becomes less.

TEXT Read the text and say what you have learned about aboriginal culture:

The Aboriginal Population in Australia

The aborigines, who had their own rich culture, did not welcome the white people who took their land. In 1788 there were about three hundred thousand aborigines in Australia. For a long time they have been a dying nation but now their living conditions are improving. The aboriginal population lives in towns, in the mining districts, on the cattle stations and in other parts of Australia. The aborigines love music. They sing and play their instruments and dance. When they dance they put colours on their faces, arms and legs. The aborigines say that the world is not round, it is flat. They say that there are two worlds: the aboriginal world in Australia and the sky world. The sun, the moon, and star men live in the sky world.

When a man dies, the aborigines say, his spirit comes out of his body and gets into a boat. The boatman takes the spirit to an island. This island is very far from Australia. It is in the sky, higher than the sun, and there are lots of camping places there. The dead man will see all his dead friends there. The aborigines know a lot of very old stories. They are like the old Greek and Scandinavian myths.

TEXT Read the text « A City in the Bush», say what you have learned from it.

The "bush" for Australians is what is opposite to "town". The bush is a forest, a field, a meadow. A joke says that there is a city in Australia called Sydney, and all the rest around it is the bush.

A journalist, who wanted to prepare a report about Australia's capital Canberra, planned to show the people living there. However, he was unable to take a photograph of a traditional street

crowd in that city. The explanation is that there are no crowds of people in Canberra.

The city territory is 21 square kilometers, but one hundred hectares are parks. In fact, Canberra is several micro-districts or small towns separated by highspeed roads and areas of unpopulated countryside. The whole of "Greater Canberra" does not even have three hundred thousand people. They live in one-storey houses and drive their own cars. A few tall buildings in the centre are for government and business offices. The architecture of the National Gallery of Arts and the National Library is rather interesting.

On a fine Sunday when all shops are closed, even a cyclist is a rare thing in the centre of the city. But a kangaroo on a large meadow is not a rare thing and a piece of bread in your hand will make this animal your friend.

About half of the children at this age attend nursery-schools or playgroups mostly organised by parents. Children of this age need care as well as education. That's why kids play a lot, learn to listen attentively and to behave. Compulsory primary education begins at the age of five in England, Wales and Scotland and at four in Northern Ireland. Children start their school career in an infant school. Lessons start at 9 a. m. and are over at 4 p.m. They are taught «3 R's»: Reading, Writing, Arithme-tic. Pupils have a lot of fun at school, drawing, reading, dancing or singing.

When they are 7 pupils move to a junior school, which lasts four years till they are 11. They study a lot of subjects: English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography along with Technology, Music, Art and Physical education Most of children (over 90 per cent) go to state schools where education is free. Only a small proportion of them attend private (Public) or independent schools. Parents have to pay for the education at these schools. The fees are high and only some families can afford it. So such schools are for the representatives of the high class of England. The most notable Public schools are Eton, Harrow, Winchester, Rugby. Secondary education begins at 11. The majority of secondary schools are Comprehensive schools where boys and girls study together. Besides, parents can take their sons and daughters to Grammar schools or Secondary Modern Schools. Grammar schools provide an academic course from 11 to 18. They prepare pupils for colleges and universities.

Many children of working class families go to Modern schools. They give a very limited education. Pupils get instruction in woodwork, metalwork, sewing, shorthand, typing and cooking. After finishing such a school a pupil becomes an unskilled worker.

The Comprehensive Schools have their own «Grammar school» classes and «Modern classes» Every pupil has to choose a set of subjects to learn. If he takes up Art he will study English Literature Music, Art, Drama and foreign languages. If he is good at exact and natural sciences, he will learn Science: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Economics and Technical Drawing. The British government encourages careers education in the country. That's why secondary schools try to breakdown the barriers between education and business. They set up close links with firms to allow their students to take part in business activities. At around 16 years old teenagers take some exams and coursework to get General Certificate of Education. Those who choose to stay on at school usually study for two further years to pass A level (Advanced level) exams. These exams will give them a chance to enter the university.

TEXT EDUCATION IN THE USA

The federal government pays little attention to school education in the USA. Each state has its own system of schools. But there are some common features in the organization of school education in the country. Schools in the USA can be divided into state or public schools and private schools. State schools are free, and private schools are fee-paying. Elementary and secondary schools consist of twelve grades. At elementary school English, mathematics, science, social studies, music, sports and other subjects taught. Elementary education begins at the age of six, when a child goes to the first grade. Secondary education is offered at high schools. At the age of 14 students go to a junior high school. At the age of 16 children leave junior high school and may continue their education at the upper grades of high school.

A student, who has finished high school, may want to continue in higher education. There are several ways to do it: universities, colleges, technical or vocational schools. A program for undergraduates usually takes four years. University students get an undergraduate degree in the arts or science. If they complete a course of study they get Bachelor of Arts or Science degree. Students may leave the university at this time. They may also go on for a graduate or professional degree.

The university may get money from several different sources: state government, private sources, religious group.

Текст HOLIDAYS IN RUSSIA

Every country has its own holidays. They reflect the history of the country and its cultural and religious traditions. Some holidays are common in different countries, for example, Christmas or Easter.

There are many holidays in Russia, when people all over the country don’t work and have special celebrations. The major holidays are: New Year’s Day, Women’s Day, May Day, Victory Day and Independence Day.

The first holiday of the year is New Year’s Day. There are lots of New Year traditions in Russia. In every home there is a New Year tree decorated with lights and toys. It is a family holiday. Children always wait for Father Frost to come and give them presents.

Christmas is the next holiday. It is celebrated on the 7th of January. It is a religious holiday and lots of people go to church services on that day.

We celebrate Day of the Defender of Motherland on the 23rd of February.

On the 8th of March we celebrate Women’s Day when men try to do everything about the house and cook meals.

The greatest national holiday in our country is Victory Day. On the 9th of May, 1945, the Soviet Army won a victory over the German fascists and the Great Patriotic War ended. We have meetings and congratulate our veterans on this day. Radio and television broadcast popular war songs all day long. A lot of guests from different countries of the world come to Moscow to participate in the celebrations.

Independence Day is a new holiday in our country. It is celebrated on the 12th of June.

We also celebrate lots of professional holidays which are not public holidays and banks, offices and schools don’t close.

HOLIDAYS AND FESTIVALS IN GREAT BRITAIN

There are fewer public holidays in Great Britain than in other European countries. They arc: Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, May Day, Spring Bank Holiday and Summer Bank Holiday. Public holidays in Britain are called bank holidays, because the banks as well as most of the offices and shops are closed.

The most popular holiday is Christmas. Every year the people of Norway give the city of London a present. It's a big Christmas tree and it stands in Trafalgar Square. Central streets are beautifully decorated. Before Christmas, groups of singers go from house to house. They collect money for charity and sing carols, traditional Christmas songs. Many churches hold a carol service on the Sunday before Christmas.

The fun starts the night before, on the 24th of December. Traditionally this is the day when people decorate their trees. Children hang stockings at the end of their beds, hoping that Father Christmas will come down the chimney during the night and fill them with toys and sweets.

Christmas is a family holiday. Relatives usually meet for the big Christmas dinner of turkey and Christmas pudding. And everyone gives and receives presents. The 26th of December, Boxing Day, is an extra holiday after Christmas Day. This is the time to visit friends and relatives or perhaps sit at home and watch football.

New Year's Day is less popular in Britain than Christmas .But in Scotland, Hogmanay is the biggest festival of the year. Besides public holidays there are some special festivals in Great Britain. One of them takes place on the 5th of November. On that day, in 1605, Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill King James I. He didn't succeed. The King's men found the bomb, took Guy Fawkes to the Tower and cut off his head.

Since that day the British celebrate the 5th of November. They bum a dummy, made of straw and old clothes, on a bonfire and let off fireworks. This dummy is called a "guy" (like Guy Fawkes) and children can often be seen in the streets before the 5th of November saying, "Penny for the guy." If they collect enough money they can buy some fireworks.

Text: HOLIDAYS IN THE USA

There are a number of holidays in the USA which are celebrated every year. Here are some of them. Americans celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December. They buy a lot of presents for each other, for their parents, children and friends.

The New Year's Day, the 1st of January is not so widely celebrated in the United States as we do it in Russia.

Of course, the most important holiday in America is the 4th of July, the Independence Day. People like to watch colourful fireworks in the evening. The 4th of July is the day-off and people don't go to work.

The holidays when people don't go to work are: Martin Luther King's day on the 20th of January, Labour Day on the 7th of September and Thanksgiving Day on the last Friday of November. On Thanksgiving Day Americans usually eat turkey. This holiday reminds the time when the first colonists (pilgrims) from England came to America in 1620 and could survive in the unknown land. There is still a big white stone on the shore in Plymouth in Massachusetts that the pilgrims landed on. It is called “The Plymouth Rock”.

The 31st of October is the children's most favourite holiday — Halloween. On this day children, dressed in funny dresses visit their neighbours and say “Trick or treat! » and get sweets.

The rest of the holidays are usually on weekends. They are: the Flag's Day, Mother's Day and Armed Forces Day. Americans also celebrate Lincoln's birthday, Washington's Birthday, President's Day in February.

The 14th of February is Valentine's Day or as it is called “Аll lovers day”.

MY FAVOURITE HOLIDAY

Many great holidays and anniversaries are celebrated in our country, for example, May Day, Women's Day, Day of Independence of Russia, Christmas, Easter and others. But my favourite holiday is New Year's Day, of course. It is a really wonderful holiday. People get ready for this holiday long before it. They buy New Year trees and decorate them. Every year a fairy-tale comes to every house and every family on New Year's Eve. Children and even grown-ups wait for this day because they believe that all their wishes and desires come true and different wonderful miracles happen on that day.

On New Year's Eve people get together to see «the old year out and the new year in». They eat tasty food, drink champagne, dance and have a good time together. They wish each other happiness and good luck in the new year and put the presents under the New Year tree. Children like this holiday very much. They wait for New Year presents, which, they believe, Father Frost brings to them. Everybody is merry on that day and wishes the next year to be good and happy and all one's troubles and dissapointments to remain in the past.

Text I want to be a Programmer.

I want to become a computer programmer. I am interested in computers. It is a whole new world.

Many people continue careers of their parents or grandparents but it is not the case with me. My mother is a teacher and my father is a doctor. But I don't want to be neither a teacher nor a doctor.

My favorite subjects in school are mathematics, physics, and, of course, computer science. I am not interested in such subjects as geography, biology or chemistry.

My hobby is computer games and computer programming. I have a computer at home and can spend hours working at it. It is much easier to do things on computer, for example, to write a composition. You can change the text as many times as you want and you don't need to rewrite everything if you changed something.

I think that the profession of programmer can give many opportunities. Computers are the most rapidly changing sphere of modern technology. We are living in the age of information. And I think that the future is just filled with computers. Today, in England or in the US people can work, go shopping or even go on dates sitting at their computers. In our country, computers have been used just for a short time.

Answer the questions.

Are you going to continue your parents' careers?

What are your favorite subjects in school?

What subjects don't you like?

What is your hobby?

Why do you think your job will give you many opportunities?

Are you going to continue your education after school?

Programmer – программист

Computer science – программирование

To go on date – ходить на свидание

to go shopping – ходить за покупками

Тext Electronic Communication

It's a matter of common knowledge that the interconnection of media and information technologies changed the world greatly. Computers and cable systems, telephones and satellite transmission and publishers are now being linked and intermixed. There appeared the system of Internet (/nrernational network) which is several thousand interconnected networks used to exchange information, data, scientific ideas, opinions, gossips and so on.

The Internet has changed communication as we know it. This new technological advance has effected practically every aspect of our lives. Magazines, newspapers and even books are "on-line" and can be read on the computer. At present more and more people use the Internet for searching the necessary information, for e-mail with friends around the world or just for entertaining. You can find the information on any topic — the possibilities of Internet are endless. The Internet can instantly connect you to other computers, allowing you to "chat" with people all over the world.

Informed citizens of our information-dependent society should be computer-literate. This means that they should be able to use computers as everyday problem-solving tools. They should know the potential of computers to influence the quality of life. It's actually not very difficult to learn how to use the system, and once you are on-line, you'll never want to turn the computer off.

Today a great deal of the work force of most countries is engaged in creating, processing, storing, communicating and otherwise working with information. Computers have become commonplace in homes, offices, stores, schools, research institutes, plants.

They can perform arithmetic operations, solve a series of problems and make hundreds, even thousands, of logical decisions without becoming tired. The list of applications of PCs (personal computers) is almost endless, including: checking account management, budgeting, planning, telephone answering and dialing, home environment and climate control, appliance control, maintenance of address and mailing lists and what not.

Computers and their many applications are among the most significant technical achievements of the century. They bring with them both economic and social changes. These amazing electronic devices have changed many people's lives forever.

RADIO AND TV MARCH AHEAD

More than 100 years passed since the day when the Russian scientist Alexander Popov demonstrated his "storm indicator" which was the prototype of modern radio receivers.

Great progress has been made in radio engineering, radio communications, radio broadcastings and televisions since that time. We have become so used to these means of communication that we can't imagine our life without them. In the modern world radio and television play an important role as a mass media of information and as a means of people' s political and cultural education.

There is hardly a spot on the whole vast territory of Russia where there is no radio. The voice of Russian radio is heard all over the world. Today a great number of radio broadcasting stations in our country transmit all-day long programmes to other countries in about 50 languages. Modern means of radio engineering cover the greater part of the globe with long, medium and ultra- short radio waves. New radio stations are being built and equipped with the most modern instruments.

Television is also developing rapidly in our country. At present Russia has TV system which is among the largest in the world. It includes 120 TV centres which make their own programmes. The construction of the world's biggest television centre, the Moscow centre, which is housed in the 533- metre high Ostankino television tower had been completed by 1970. All programmes which are broadcast by the Moscow centre are in colour.TV broadcasts go out from Moscow every day on about 15 channels and total about 200 hours of broadcasting in every 24-hour period. There is a regular international exchange of TV programmes as well. Our television is linked up with Intervision and Eurovision international systems.

Work on the improvement of space television and broadcasting is of great interest. The application of powerful outerspace relays makes possible televising programmes directly to huge territories.The aim of Russia radio and TV is to provide listeners and viewers with an objective review of events taking place in Russia and in the world.

Answer the questions.

When did Alexander Popov demonstrate his "storm indicator"?

What was the "storm indicator"?

Why can't we imagine our life without radio and television?

What role do radio and television play in the modern world?

How many radio broadcasting stations work in our country?

Тема Simulating - a new way of creating materials

Read and translate the text. Simulating - a new way of creating materials

Mankind waited a long time for bronze. But when it arrived, it brought a revolution that changed civilisation for ever. Then came iron with its hard edge for swords and, later still, steel brought the Industrial Revolution. During the 20th century the pace quickened, in less than a hundred years several entirely new classes of material appeared and quite new ones will certainly make an impression on the 21 st century.

Until recently, most new materials were discovered by complete accident, or by trial and error. The latter strategy involves taking a few metals, mixing them together in certain ratios and watching what comes out. The process of studying a material's behaviour under pressure, at high and low temperature, in and out of magnetic and electric fields and in countless other conditions can take years or decades.

But all this can soon change. Recent advances in mathematics and computing are making it possible to simulate the properties of materials. This approach entirely changes the whole idea of materials testing. What's more, the work that used to take years can now be done in months. The simulations begin with rules of quantum mechanics that govern matter on the atomic and subatomic level.

Huge increases in computing power have made the simulations possible and recent developments of mathematical methods are making complex calculations much easier. Thanks to new techniques of research the number of calculations needed to solve large numbers of functions has fallen.

Where the simulations work, they bring a great change to materials development. Thanks to this new simulation technology the 21st century will get new materials in quantities that had never been heard of before.

Answer the questions:

1. What did mankind wait a long time for?

2. What other metals appeared then?

3. How were many new materials discovered?

4. What methods were used later?

5. Is the process of studying a material's behavior long or short?

Ernest Rutherford was born in New Zealand where he lived up to 1895.At the age of 19 after finishing school he entered the only New Zealand University founded in 1870. At that time there were only 50 students and 7 professors there. At the university Ernest took great interest in physics and developed a magnetic detector of radio waves. However, he was absolutely uninterested in the practical applications of his discoveries.

In 1895 Rutherford went to Cambridge where he continued research under Thomson (1856-1940), the outstanding English physicist. There Rutherford studied the processes of ionization in gases and took great interest in radioactivity opened by Becquerel (1852-1908), a world-known French physicist. About ten years Ernest Rutherford lived and worked in Canada. Later he lectured in leading universities in the USA and England from 1907 till 1919.

Rutherford's famous work "The Scattering of Alpha and Beta Particles of Matter and the Structure of the Atom" dealt with so-called "'atom models". All main Rutherford's works deal with the nuclear models. The splitting of the atom has opened to man a new and enormous source of energy. The most important results have been obtained by splitting the atom of urauinm.

For working out the theory of radioactive disintegration of elements, for determining the nature of alpha particles, for developing the nuclear atom, Rutherford was awarded the 1908 Nobel Prize in chemistry. Rutherford created a school of talented physicists in the field of atomic research. Russian scientists P. Kapitza and Y. Khariton were among his pupils E. Rutherford died in 1937 at the age of 66.

Text What is a computer

The term computer is used to describe a device made up of a combination of electronic and electromechanical (part electronic and part mechanical) components. Computer has no intelligence by itself and is referred to as hardware. A computer system is a combination of five elements:

· Hardware

· Software

· People

· Procedures

· Data/information

When one computer system is set up to communicate with another computer system, connectivity becomes the sixth system element. In other words, the manner in which the various individual systems are connected — for example, by phone lines, microwave transmission, or satellite – is an element of the total computer system.

Software is the term used to describe the instructions that tell the hardware how to perform a task. Without software instructions, the hardware doesn't know what to do. People, however, are the most important component of the computer system: they create the computer software instructions and respond to the procedures that those instructions present.

The basic job of the computer is the processing of information. Computers accept information in the form of instruction called a program and characters called data to perform mathematical and logical operations, and then give the results. The data is raw material while information is organized, processed, refined and useful for decision making. Computer is used to convert data into information. Computer is also used to store information in the digital form.

Vocabulary:

Characters — символы raw — необработанный, сырой

data — данные to come to life — оживать

decision — решение to connect — соединять

device — устройство to convert — превращать, преобразовывать

hardware — оборудование to create — создавать

instruction — команда to evaluate — оценивать

intelligence — разум to refer to as — называть что-либо

manner — манера, способ to refine — очищать

microwave — микроволновая to respond — отвечать

procedures — процедуры, операции transmission — передача

General understanding:

1) What does the term «computer» describe?

2) Is computer intelligent?

3) What are five components of computer system?

4) What is connectivity?

5) What is software? What's the difference between hardware and software?

6) Why people are the most important component of a computer system?

Types of software.

A computer to complete a job requires more than just the actual equipment or hardware we see and touch. It requires Software — programs for directing the operation of a computer or electronic data. Software is the final computer system component. These computer programs instruct the hardware how to conduct processing. The computer is merely a general-purpose machine which requires specific software to perform a given task. Computers can input, calculate, compare, and output data as information. Software determines the order in which these operations are performed.

Programs usually fall in one of two categories; system software and applications software. System software controls standard internal computer activities. An operating system, for example, is a collection of system programs that aid in the operation of a computer regardless of the application software being used.

When a computer is first turned on, one of the systems programs is booted or loaded into the computers memory. This software contains information about memory capacity, the model of the processor, the disk drives to be used, and more. Once the system software is loaded, the applications software can be brought in. System programs are designed for the specific pieces of hardware. These programs are called drivers and coordinate peripheral hardware and computer activities. User needs to install a specific driver in order to activate a peripheral device. For example, if you intend to buy a printer or a scanner you need to worry in advance about the driver program which, though, commonly goes along with your device. By installing the driver you «teach» your main board to «understand» the newly attached part.

Applications software satisfies your specific need. The developers of application software rely mostly on marketing research strategies trying to do their best to attract more users (buyers) to their software. As the productivity of the hardware has increased greatly in recent years, the programmers nowadays tend to include as much as possible in one program to make software interface look more attractive to the user. This class of programs is the most numerous and perspective from the marketing point of view.

Data communication within and between computers systems is handled by system software. Communications software transfers data from one computer system to another. These programs usually provide users with data security and error checking along with physically transferring data between the two computer's memories. During the past five years the developing electronic network communication has stimulated more and more companies to produce various communication software, such as Web-Browsers for Internet.

ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL

Alexander Graham Bell was born in Edinburgh in 1847. His father was a world-famous teacher of speech and the inventor of a system which he called "Visible speech". It helped deaf (глухой) persons to pronounce words they could not hear. Alexander chose the same profession, and as his father became a teacher of the deaf, he moved to the United States and began to teach deaf children to speak. At the same time he worked at improving his father's invention. In 1866 the nineteen-year-old Bell started thinking about sending tones (звук) by telegraph. It was then that there came to his mind the idea of the "harmonic telegraph", which would send musical tones electrically from one place to another. Bell was not a scientist. So he had to give all his energy and time to one thing only - knowledge of electricity. There was little time for rest and little time to eat. Hour after hour, day and night he and his friend Watson worked at testing and experimenting with the telephone. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it did not. In a few years there were telephones all over the world.

ALFRED NOBEL - A MAN OF CONTRASTS

Alfred Nobel, the great Swedish inventor and industrialist, was a man of many contrasts. He was the son of a bankrupt, but became a millionaire, a scientist who cared for literature, an industrialist who managed to remain an idealist. He made a fortune but lived a simple life, and although cheerful in company he was often sad when remained alone, a lover of mankind, he never had a wife or family to love him; a patriotic son of his native land, he died alone in a foreign country. He invented a new explosive, dynamite, to improve the peacetime industries of mining and road building, but saw it used as a weapon of war to kill and injure people. During his useful life he often felt he was useless. World-famous for his works, he was never personally well-known, for while he lived he avoided publicity. He never expected any reward for what he had done. He once said that he did not see that he had deserved any fame and that he had no taste for it. However, since his death, his name has brought fame and glory to others.

Not long ago computers were considered an amazing invention. Today they form part of our everyday lives. The latest thing today is Virtual Reality. A Virtual Reality system can transport the user to exotic locations such as a beach in Hawaii or the inside of the human body. The Virtual Reality system is still in the early stages of its development. At the moment it is necessary to put a large helmet on your head to see the simulated world and you have to wear a special glove on your hand in order to manipulate the objects you see there. Lenses and two miniature display screens inside the helmet create the illusion that the screen surrounds you on every side. You can "look behind" computer — generated objects, pick them up and examine them, walk around and see things from a different angle.

"Reliability"

The first automatic computers of the 1940's were not very reliable. The equipment of which they were made had not been accurate and reliable. The programmer for the problem usually had to program the check by doing the same operation in another way. For example, in multiplication A times В he used the equipment differently from В times A, and so both operations might be programmed, and then the computer was given an instruction to compare the results. If a difference in results was more than a tolerance, the machine^ was stopped, and the operator in charge of the computer and the mathematician in charge of the program v^now to get rid of the error.

Those days have long since gone. Now computers can operate with extraordinary reliability, with as many as billion or ten billions operations between errors. Automatic checking of different kinds is built into the machine.

Microsoft Windows (or simply Windows) is a software program that makes your IBM PC (or compatible) easy to use .It does this by simplifying the computer's user interface .

With Windows , you can run programs , enter and move data around , and perform DOS - related tasks simply by using the screen. Of course ,you also use the keyboard to type in letters and numbers . Windows interprets your actions and tells DOS and your computer what to do.

In addition to making DOS housekeeping tasks such as creating directories , copying files .deleting files, formatting disk , and so forth, easier ,Windows makes running your favorite applications easier .too. (An application is a software package that you use for a specific task such as word processing WordPerfect is an application .In this book, I'll use the words program and application interchangeably.)
