Учебно-методическое пособие по английскому языку для студентов неязыковых специальностей «GET READY FOR I –EXAM» рассчитано на студентов неязыковых специальностей и предназначено помочь им оптимально организовать процесс подготовки к электронному тестированию. Пособие содержит необходимые учебно-практические материалы по всем дидактическим единицам, включенным в обязательный перечень. Все задания структурированы в соответствии с форматом самого тестирования.

Подготовка к тестированию предполагает, прежде всего, ознакомление с форматом теста: расположением материала и формулировкой заданий. Далее следует определить, какой грамматический материал должен быть использован при выполнении соответствующего блока заданий.

Следует учесть, что отдельные вопросы требуют глубокой самостоятельной проработки с использованием специальной справочной литературы, включая интернет-источники.

В процессе подготовки к тестированию у студентов могут возникнуть трудности при выполнении заданий по страноведению и профессиональной терминологии, что предполагает более глубокое изучение профессиональной и специальной справочной литературы.

При выполнении заданий по чтению необходимо обратить внимание на количество требуемых правильных опций (одна или не менее двух). Затем следует тщательно проработать текст и задания к нему. Все тексты разбиты на абзацы. При определении основной идеи текста необходимо иметь в виду, что она должна отражаться во всех абзацах.

Пособие рассчитано, прежде всего, на студентов неязыковых специальностей, однако оно может быть использовано широким кругом лиц, изучающих английский язык самостоятельно.

Homeschooling

1. Homeschooling is the education of children at home, typically by parents or by tutors, rather than in other formal settings of public or private school. Although prior to the introduction of compulsory school attendance laws, most childhood education occurred within the family or community, homeschooling in the modern sense is an alternative in developed countries to attending public or private schools.

2. Homeschooling is a legal option for parents in many countries, allowing them to provide their children with a learning environment as an alternative to public or private schools outside the individual’s home. Parents cite numerous reasons as motivations to homeschool their children. The three reasons that are selected by the majority of homeschooling parents in the United States are concern about the school environment, to provide religious or moral instruction, and dissatisfaction with academic instruction at public and private schools.

3. As a synonym to e-learning, homeschooling can be used as a form of supplementary education, a way of helping children learn, in specific circumstances. For instance, children that attend downgraded schools can greatly benefit from homeschooling ways of learning, using the immediacy and low cost of the Internet. Homeschooling can be combined with traditional education and lead to better and more complete results.

 

1. Содержанию текста соответствует утверждение... Укажите один вариант ответа

o In some countries homeschooling is sanctioned by law.

o Being educated at home children never attend any other educational institutions.

o Homeschooling implies teaching by tutors without using the Internet.

o Parents can choose homeschooling for their children’s misbehavior.

2. Завершите утверждение согласно содержанию текста. Nowadays in developed countries homeschooling can be opposed to...

o e-learning

o attending private schools

o supplementary education

o dissatisfaction with academic instructions

3. Ответьте на вопрос: What homeschooling ways of learning do facilitate children’s learning at schools? Укажите один вариант ответа

o Using the advantages of telecommunication technologies greatly aids not only in homeschooling.

o As well as e-learning homeschooling can be sometimes used for helping children learn.

o Homeschooling is an alternative to public or private schools outside the person’s home.

o Being combined with traditional education homeschooling can lead to more complete results.

4. Основной идеей текста является... Укажите один вариант ответа

o In many countries parents can choose homeschooling as a legal alternative to public or private schools, considering it to be able of providing a proper school environment avoiding unnecessary religious or moral instruction.

o The majority of homeschooling parents in the United States are not satisfied with the school environment, religious or moral instruction, and academic instruction being provided at public and private schools.

o The USA experience in the field of schooling is the demonstration of the fact that homeschooling combined with traditional education can greatly promote both by leading to better and more complete results.

o Homeschooling possessing a number of positive characteristics facilitating learning, American parents choose it for providing their children with a proper learning environment as an alternative to private schools or as a form of supplementary education.

Cognitive psychology

1. Cognitive psychology is a discipline within psychology that investigates the internal mental processes of thought such as visual processing, memory, problem solving, and language. The school of thought arising from this approach is known as cognitivism which is interested in how people mentally represent information processing.

2. Cognitive psychologists use psychophysical and experimental approaches to understand, diagnose, and solve problems, concerning themselves with the mental processes which mediate between stimulus and response.

3. Cognitive science differs from cognitive psychology in that algorithms that are intended to simulate human behavior are implemented or implementable on a computer. In other instances, solutions may be found through insight, a sudden awareness of relationships.

 

1. Определите, какое утверждение соответствует содержанию текста. Выберите не менее двух вариантов

o From cognitive science perspective it’s possible to work out algorithms for simulation human behaviour using a computer.

A standardized test

1. A standardized test or Examination system is a test that is administered and scored in a consistent, or «standard», manner. Standardized tests are designed in such a way that the questions, conditions for administering, scoring procedures, and interpretations are consistent and are administered and scored in a predetermined, standard manner.

2. Any test in which the same test is given in the same manner to all test takers is a standardized test. Standardized tests need not be high-stakes tests, time-limited tests, or multiple-choice tests. The opposite of a standardized test is a non-standardized test. Non-standardized testing gives significantly different tests to different test takers, or gives the same test under significantly different conditions (e.g., one group is permitted far less time to complete the test than the next group), or evaluates them differently (e.g., the same answer is counted right for one student, but wrong for another student).

3. Standardized tests are perceived as being fairer than non-standardized tests. The consistency also permits more reliable comparison of outcomes across all test takers. The considerations of validity and reliability typically are viewed as essential elements for determining the quality of any standardized test

 

1. Определите, какое утверждение соответствует содержанию текста. Укажите один вариант ответа

o The time, test type and test outcomes are no less important for standardized test-takers as for those who do non-standardized tests.

o At non-standardized testing test takers are given to do different kinds of tests under comparatively similar conditions.

o Non-standardized testing shows more trustworthy results of an each test-taker due to subjective conditions of the test taking procedure.

o Consistency in the questions, conditions for administering, scoring procedures, and interpretations in standardized testing provides more reliable outcomes.

2. Завершите утверждение согласно содержанию текста. The key qualifying criteria of standardized tests are... Укажите один вариант ответа

o consistent scoring procedures

o objectivity and consistency

o conditions for administering

o validity and reliability

3. Ответьте на вопрос: What unites standardized tests and non- standardized ones? Укажите один вариант ответа

o Both of them reveal test-takers’ achievements in a test manner.

o Both of them are given to test-takers for a certain period of time.

o Both of them are designed for the same purposes.

o Both of them control test-takers in the same way.

4. Определите основную идею текста. Укажите один вариант ответа

o Standardized tests are designed in a standard manner: the questions, conditions for administering, scoring procedures, and interpretations are consistent.

o Non-standardized tests are of different contents for all test takers as well as time- limited, so all test takers are evaluated in different ways.

o Standardized testing allows getting more reliable comparison of outcomes across all test takers, standardized tests being more favourable among them.

o Standardized tests and non-standardized ones are quite different types of testing, the former being considered to be more reliable due to its educational design purposes.

Natural world wonders

1. Spread over 135 square miles in Yunnan province, the Shilin Forest looks like an ancient petrified forest filled with rock formations that jut vertically from the ground. Geologists say Shilin Stone Forest was formed 270 million years ago, when the constant movement of the earth caused the waters of the large sea, which covered the area, to retreat and allowed the limestone cliffs to rise.

2. The Darvaza gas crater, known as «The Door to Hell», is a 196 feet wide and 65 feet deep hole in the Karakum desert in Turkmenistan. The fire, fueled by natural gas, has been burning for the last 42 years, not by a natural occurrence, but instead, as a result of a Soviet gas exploration accident. Geologists accidentally tapped into a massive underground natural gas cavern, causing the ground to collapse and the entire drilling rig to fall in.

3. Also known as «The Great Blue Hole», the Belize Barrier Reef is one of largest barrier reefs in the world. It creates a natural ecosystem that includes atolls, several hundred sand cays, mangrove forests, coastal lagoons and estuaries. It’s so vast that much of it remains undiscovered and only 10 per cent of the marine life on this reef has been identified.

 

1. Содержанию текста соответствуют утверждения… Выберите не менее двух вариантов

o The diversity of living organisms is presented in the Darvaza gas crater.

o The Shilin Stone Forest has an extraordinary origin.

o The two natural holes have the same origin.

o They are soft and non-living.

o They are low and green.

4. Основной идеей текста является...

o The Belize Barrier Reef represents the whole natural ecosystem.

o The Darvaza gas crater was formed because of people’s carelessness.

o The Shilin Stone Forest was formed because of the sea level fall.

o There are unique places in the world which are the mystery of nature.

Peterhof

1. Versailles was, however, the inspiration for Peter the Great’s desire to build an imperial palace in the suburbs of his new city and, after an aborted attempt at Strelna, Peterhof – which means «Peter’s Court» in German – became the site for the Tsar’s Monplaisir Palace, and then of the original Grand Palace. The estate was equally popular with Peter’s granddaughter, Empress Elizabeth, who ordered the expansion of the Grand Palace and greatly extended the park and the famous system of fountains, including the truly spectacular Grand Cascade. The Peterhof ensemble includes the Upper and Lower Parks with 150 fountains spurting upwards powerful jets.

2. Improvements to the park continued throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Catherine the Great, after leaving her own mark on the park, moved the court to Pushkin, but Peterhof once again became the official Imperial Residence in the reign of Nicholas I, who ordered the building of the modest Cottage Palace in 1826.

3. Like almost all St. Petersburg’s suburban estates, Peterhof was ravaged by German troops during the Second World War. It was, however, one of the first to be resurrected and, thanks to the work of military engineers and over 1, 000 volunteers, most of the estate’s major structures had been fully restored by 1947.

 

1. Содержанию текста соответствует утверждение... Укажите один вариант ответа

o In the past Peterhof used to be an exquisite residence of Russian tsars.

o In the reign of Empress Elizabeth the territory of the Peterhof ensemble got smaller.

o Cottage Palace was one of the most luxurious buildings in the Russia of the XIX century.

o Only talented architects took part in the restoration of the Peterhof ensemble.

Anthropology

1. Anthropology is the holistic «science of man». The discipline deals with the integration of different aspects of the social sciences, humanities, and human biology. Anthropology includes archaeology, prehistory, physical or biological anthropology, anthropological linguistics, social and cultural anthropology, ethnology and ethnography. The word anthropos is from the Greek for «human being» or «person». Eric Wolf described sociocultural anthropology as «the most scientific of the humanities, and the most humanistic of the sciences».

2. The goal of anthropology is to provide a holistic account of humans and human nature. Since anthropology arose as a science in Western societies that were complex and industrial, a major trend within anthropology has been a methodological drive to study peoples in societies with more simple social organization, sometimes called «primitive» in anthropological literature, but without any connotation of «inferior». Today, most anthropologists use terms such as «less complex» societies or refer to specific modes of subsistence or production, such as «hunter-gatherer» or «forager» or «simple farmer» to refer to humans living in non-industrial, non-Western cultures, such people or folk (ethnos) remaining of great interest within anthropology.

3. The quest for holism leads most anthropologists to study a particular folk or people in detail, using biogenetic, archaeological, and linguistic data alongside direct observation of contemporary customs. In the 1990s and 2000s, calls for clarification of what constitutes a culture, of how an observer knows where his or her own culture ends and another begins, and other crucial topics in writing anthropology were heard. It is possible to view all human cultures as part of one large, evolving global culture.

Renaissance

1. Renaissance, literally «rebirth», is the period in European civilization immediately following the Middle Ages, traditionally held to have been characterized by a rise of interest in classical learning and values. The Renaissance also witnessed the discovery and exploration of new continents, the substitution of the Copernican for the Ptolemaic system of astronomy, the decline of the feudal system and the growth of commerce, and the invention or application of such potentially powerful innovations as paper, printing, the mariner’s compass, and gunpowder. To the scholars and thinkers of the day, however, it was primarily a time of the revival of classical learning and wisdom after a long period of cultural decline and stagnation.

2. The term Middle Ages was coined by scholars in the 15th century to designate the interval between the downfall of the classical world of Greece and Rome and its rediscovery at the beginning of their own century, a revival in which they felt they were participating. Indeed, the notion of a long period of cultural darkness had been expressed by Petrarch even earlier. Events at the end of the Middle Ages, particularly beginning in the 12th century, caused a series of social, political, and intellectual transformations that culminated in the Renaissance. These included the increasing failure of the Roman Catholic Church and the Holy Roman Empire to provide a stable and unifying framework for the organization of spiritual and material life, the rise in importance of city-states and national monarchies, the development of national languages, and the breakup of the old feudal structures.

The Earth’s Contamination

1. Water in many third world countries is contaminated with toxic chemicals, also known as toxins. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.1 billion people in those countries have little or no access to clean water. In many of these regions the water that is used for drinking, cooking, and washing is the same water that is used for dumping sewage and hazardous waste. Approximately 80% of infectious diseases in the world are caused by contaminated water.

2. Indoor air pollution is one of the leading causes of lung cancer. Families in developing countries use open stoves for cooking and heating their homes. The smoke, which is full of chemicals and carcinogens, gets trapped inside where families eat and sleep. Outdoor pollution also causes disease and illness, especially in industrial cities such as Beijing, China, where cancer is the leading cause of death.

3. Pollutants such as metals and pesticides seep into the earth's soil and contaminate the food supply. Soil pollution causes major health risks to entire ecosystems. This type of pollution reduces the amount of land suitable for agricultural production and contributes to global food shortages.

Fashion

1. The concept of fashion implies a process of style change, because fashions in dress, as well as in furniture and other objects, have taken very different forms at different times in history. Most people follow fashion to some extent, because fashion refers to much more than the haute couture, the exclusive and expensive clothing produced by leading designers. Even schoolchildren are aware that fashions exist. Nevertheless, we do tend to distinguish between basic clothing, such as blue jeans, parkas and T-shirts, and the latest trendy fashions created by fashion designers. Fashion reflects the society of which it is a part. It has been influenced by wars, conquests, laws, religion, and the arts. Individual personalities have also had an impact on fashion. Royalty and heads of states have set fashion, and in the 20th century media stars have emerged as leaders of fashion. French writer Anatole France said that if he could come back to Earth 100 years after his death and have only one thing to read, he would choose a fashion magazine because that would show him the way people lived.

2. Fashion also has its critics, who have at times denounced fashion as irrational, frivolous, tyrannical, and immoral. Why should pink be in fashion one season and grey the next season? Why do people follow fashion like sheep when they have enough clothes already? A common accusation is that fashion designers accelerate fashion change to create new business. Yet no new fashion succeeds until people are ready to accept it. The final decision about what to buy, or whether to buy anything at all, belongs to the consumer. Ultimately, fashions change because many people like new and different styles.

Family

1. The family, a basic social group united through bonds of kinship or marriage, has been present in all societies. Ideally, the family provides its members with protection, companionship, security, and socialization. The structure of the family and the needs that the family fulfils vary from society to society. The nuclear family – two adults and their children – is the main unit in some societies. In others, it is a subordinate part of an extended family, which also consists of grandparents and other relatives. A third family unit is the single-parent family, in which children live with an unmarried, divorced, or widowed mother or farther.

2. Historical studies have shown that family structure has been less changed by urbanization and industrialization than was once supposed. The nuclear family was the most prevalent pre-industrial unit and is still the basic unit of social organization. The modern family differs from earlier traditional forms, however, in its functions, composition, and life cycle and in the roles of husbands and wives.

3. The only function of the family that continues to survive all change is the provision of affection and emotional support by and to all its members, particularly infants and young children. Specialized institutions now perform many of the other functions that were once performed by the agrarian family: economic production, education, religion, and recreation. Jobs are usually separate from the family group; family members often work in different occupations and in locations away from the home. Education is provided by the state or by private groups. The family is still responsible for the socialization of children.
