READING
Time: 30 minutes
Task 1
You are going to read a magazine article about the planets of the solar
system. Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-H for each part (1-7)
of the article. There is one extra heading which you do not need to use.
A. Too hot
for life.
В. A place of contrasts.
С. Red for danger.
D. Gases in turmoil.
E. A treat for the amateur.
F. A distant wanderer.
G. An unseen influence.
H. Fact and fiction.
A family of worlds
1. The solar system is a family of worlds. Nearest to the sun is Mercury, a place where the day is hot enough to melt some metals and the night sufficiently cold to make a rubber ball as brittle as glass. The planet has no atmosphere to scatter light so the sun glares down from a pitch black sky.
2. Venus, on the contrary, has an atmosphere so thick that no one on its surface could ever see the sun. Though the sun is concealed, its energy reaches the planet’s surface, turning it into a baking desert where nothing can live.
3. Beyond the earth and its moon we come to the planet Mars. Its famous redness is due to oxidization — a sort of rusting process that has taken place over millions of two years. According to a now discredited theory, intelligent creatures on Mars have dug canals to harness the small amounts of water released when the planet’s polar ice-caps melt in the Martian spring.
4. Jupiter is a giant ice-ball surrounded by an atmosphere of poisonous gases. It is an atmosphere full of storms and turmoil. The biggest storm of all — visible in the form 15 of the Great Red Spot — has lasted for over 200 years and shows no sign of dying away.
5. Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are giant stepping stones leading us into the unseen coldness of outer space. Saturn is the most distinctive planet of the three, since it has the famous rings which almost everyone has heard about. They form a halo 20 round its equator and no one knows quite how they were formed. A spectacular sight when observed through a powerful telescope, they can also be seen and enjoyed with a simple pair of binoculars.
6. Beyond Neptune orbits little Pluto. Too small and too far from the sun to receive much light, it reflects so little that it tells us very little indeed about itself. Its orbit 25 sometimes brings it nearer to the sun than Neptune; at other times it swings out into the blackness of space as if it never means to return.
7. Could there be another planet even further away than Pluto? There are clues that the answer to this may be yes. A mysterious gravitational pull is disturbing the orbits of Neptune and Pluto, suggesting that an unseen world awaits discovery.
Task 2
You are going to read an extract from an autobiography. For questions
8-15, choose the answer (А, В, С or D) which you think fits best according to the text.
The warden led
us in single file along a narrow line of paving slabs that ran past the huts.
Every so often, four steps led to a front door. We could hear people inside,
shouting at children.
‘The overcrowding has to be believed,’ he said as he shook his head forlornly.
We squeezed to one side as a sullen woman passed us, carrying a bucket of coal.
She had the look of someone who was old before her time.
The warden went up the last set of steps, opened the door with a jangling bunch
of keys, took one off the ring and handed it to me.
‘There you are. Home Sweet Home. There’s a bath in that hut by the trees; get
the Ю key from me when you want one,’ he
said, and he came down the steps, leaving us room to go up. ‘I hope you can
make a go of it,’ he said. ‘At least we’ve got you a bit of furniture.’
We walked into a square ‘cell’ with a table and two chairs and a two-seater
settee. No two of anything were the same; it all looked like furniture from a
charity shop, which is I suppose it was. There was a double hotplate on top of
a low cupboard, and a dead black stove against the back wall with a scuttle
beside it containing a few lumps of fuel. The adjoining ‘cell’ had a double bed
with a pink plastic mattress cover, glistening like wet salmon. There was a
cupboard that hung open because the door catch had gone. Inside the cupboard
were two meagre blankets.
The bedroom was freezing. I struggled to shut the top flap of the window, but
it was jammed open by rust. There were bits of yellowing sellotape all round
the wall near it, where previous inmates had tried to block the draught with
cardboard.
I sat on the bed with my head in my hands, wondering how long we would have to
spend here before we found a real home, and noticing, as I glanced sideways
into 25 the front room, that a thin film of dust was blowing under the front
door.
We took the plastic cover off the mattress because it looked worse than the
stains underneath. The blankets smelled, but we had to keep warm somehow.
We had been in this place exactly a week when, on returning in the evening, we
went up to our front door and heard children’s voices and a transistor radio.
We peered 30 round the door at a jumble of people and things and colours. The
people turned round and we all looked at each other. The muddle resolved itself
into a huge woman and a little man, and two small children. They had a lot of
stuff, mostly carrier bags and laundry bags with clothes spilling out, and a
couple of buckets full of kitchen equipment which we’d have been glad to have
ourselves.
They didn’t want to share with us any more than we did with them, but that’s
what the warden had told them to do. We argued about it, though it seemed
ridiculous to quarrel over accommodation which none of us really wanted anyway.
8. The place is
A a prison.
В a hostel for the homeless.
С a holiday camp.
D old people’s bungalows.
9. The warden seems to
think that the couple’s accommodation is
A cosy.
В unpleasant.
С spacious enough.
D well furnished.
10. The main reason the author
feels cold in the bedroom is that
A there isn’t enough fuel for the stove.
В the window lets in a lot of
draught.
С there aren’t enough blankets.
D the door lets in a lot of draught.
11. The main thing the author
notices about the furniture is that
A it looks or smells dirty.
В most of it is in poor condition.
С it is very cheap.
D nothing matches anything else.
12. The author feels
A unhappy.
В optimistic.
С determined to make the best of
the situation.
D angry.
13. Taking the plastic
cover off the mattress
A releases the smell of the blankets.
В improves the appearance of the
bed.
С helps the couple to keep warm.
D makes the bed look worse.
14. The couple’s first feeling
when they return home to find other people there is
A confusion and bewilderment.
В anger.
С fear.
D envy of all their kitchen equipment.
15. The four other people
are in the accommodation
A by mistake.
В because they have been told to
share their kitchen equipment.
С because they have been told to
share the accommodation.
D because a week is up and it is their turn to live there.

Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку
Школьный этап: 9-11 классы.
Audioscript
Listening comprehension.
For items 1-10 listen to a part of an audio guide in a museum of modern arts. Decide whether the statements 1-10 are True (A), or False (B) according to the text you hear. You will hear the text twice.
Now you have 30 seconds to look through the items.
(pause 30 seconds)
Now we begin.
NARRATOR: Welcome to the High Museum, and the Modern Masters! A master is somebody who does something really, really well, and Pablo Picasso is first on the list.
This is Picasso, himself, painting a model. Can you find him? Look on the right for two eyes, one on top of the other. Picasso’s model is on the left side. She’s got a long thin neck. In the middle is the painting he’s working on. Can you see where he’s painted the black line of her profile? It doesn’t quite look like the model. She’s got three eyes. And Picasso, I think he’s got two noses. And his mouth! It runs down the middle of his head instead of side to side. I thought he was good at this. Why didn’t he paint people to look like people? Isn’t that what artists are supposed to do?
SFX: The Rules Chime sounds
RULES VOICE: An artist’s job is to make a perfect copy of the real world.
NARRATOR: For hundreds of years, artists had to obey a lot of strict rules like this one, and Picasso already knew how to paint by the rules. But he decided to break the rules. For him, it was more fun to, maybe, see both sides of a person’s face at the same time. Or to break a picture up into pieces and put them back together backwards or inside out. Why? His answer was, ―Why not!?
Today, you’re going to be hearing a lot more of those old rules and meeting a lot more artists who broke them in new and interesting and very surprising ways. Your next stop is in the next gallery, through the door to your right. You can’t miss it. It’s almost eleven feet high!
NARRATOR: If you think this huge artwork looks like a window, you’re right. Our second Modern Master, Henri Matisse, made it as a life-sized model for a stained glass window. The title Nuit de Noel means ―Christmas Night. In the Christmas story, a bright star showed travelers the way to find the baby Jesus, and there’s the big bright yellow star at the top, and a sky filled with lots of smaller stars.
The rest is all squiggly and wiggly and full of fun colors and just makes you feel happy to look at. How could that ever be against the rules?
SFX: The Rules Chime sounds
RULES VOICE: An artist must use the correct tools: Pencils, Paint, and Brushes.
NARRATOR: For this work of art, Matisse threw away the old artist’s toolbox and decided to make art with three different things that every kindergartener knows well: Colored Paper —
Scissors!—
and Glue
Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку
Школьный этап: 9-11 классы.
NARRATOR: Matisse took brightly colored sheets of paper and started cutting out shapes with his scissors. He moved them around on the big white background until he liked what he saw, and then glued them down. He didn’t need a pencil or a brush. He just drew—with color.
So, would you like to guess how old Matisse was when he dared to act like a kid? Try 83—an old, old man. He couldn’t walk anymore, and his hands were crippled, but nothing stopped him from making art his way.
Now you have 20 seconds to check your answers.
(pause 20 seconds)
Now listen to the text again.
Text repeated.
Now you have 20 seconds to complete the task.
This is the end of the Listening task.
