SCRIPT
Внимание!
Каждый текст прослушивается два раза. После первого прослушивания текста запись не останавливается.
Перед первым и между последующими отрывками необходимо сделать паузу длительностью примерно 1 минуту для того, чтобы участники олимпиады могли ознакомиться с вопросами к заданию.
TASK 1
You’ll hear people talking in eight different situations. For questions I to 8, choose the best answer, A, B or C.
One. You hear a man talking on the phone to a computer technician. Why has he called?
A to make a complaint
B to ask for some advice
C to apologise for a mistake
The problem is that whenever I switch it on, it takes a long time to start up: perhaps 15 or 20 minutes. This didn’t use to happen, and I think it started when all the electricity went off during that really bad thunderstorm last month and the programs I was running all ended suddenly. I know everything’s supposed to be closed down properly, so that was probably the cause. Anyway, what I was wondering was whether I can sort this out myself, and if so, how? Or whether it’ll need to be repaired. I’ve really got to do something soon - the kids are complaining about how long it takes to load their computer games!
Two. You hear a teenager talking about the summer job he does. How does he usually feel when he is working?
A bored
B tired
C relaxed
My friends keep saying how dull and repetitive their jobs are, how they’re watching the time and just thinking about the evening, but I don’t feel that way about mine. I suppose it’s because I’m working with people all day, showing them around the town centre and telling them about its history, so I don’t have the time to get bored. But there’s no hurry to do anything, so I never feel stressed either, because in this job I can take it easy. The hours are quite long and some people might find that tiring, but I don’t.
Three. You overhear a young man talking to a friend. What does he regret?
A not telling the truth.
B not spending enough
C not staying at home
The evening started well, and I’m glad I didn’t miss that part of it. I was out with Ben Francis and his friends, and although they were older than me and had lots more money, we all got on fine. We went to some great places in town and then Ben suggested having dinner at Harvey’s, you know, that really smart restaurant overlooking the river. On our way there, Ben asked if I could afford it and I told him I had plenty of money on me, though later on I wished I hadn’t said that. Anyway I forgot all about it and had a really fantastic meal. But when I saw the bill I just couldn’t believe it. There was no way I could pay my share of that.
Four: You hear two people talking. How does the man feel now?
A very relieved
B highly amused
C quite worried
Women: So in the end did you find out what’d happened to your car?
Man: Yes, but it took me several phone calls to find out that it’d been taken away by the police because it was badly parked. I’ve got it back now.
Women: So you can relax now, right?
Man: Definitely. It’s just as well that it hadn’t been stolen – that’s what was really worrying me. It’s not insured for theft.
Women: What did your friends say about it?
Man: Oh, they laughed when I told them. But I had to pay a big fine and it also cost me a taxi fare. I can’t say I thought it was very funny.
Five. You switch on the radio during a programme. What is the programme about?
A wildlife history
B history
C farming
In the late 19th and 20th century, the entire wolf population disappeared from this part of the country, in most cases shot by farmers protecting their sheep and other livestock. Now, however, there is a plan to reintroduce these marvelous creatures, not least because scientists say they play an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of regions like this. Perhaps not surprisingly, though, not everyone is happy about this proposal, with strong opposition coming from local nature groups who see them as a serious threat to the red deer population in forest areas.
Six. You turn on the radio and hear part of a play. Where is the scene taking place?
A in a railway station
B in the street
C on a bus
Woman: Don’t look now, but there’s a man quite close behind you. He’s just got on, I think.
Man: What’s he doing?
Woman: He’s talking into his phone at the moment, but he keeps looking at you.
Man: Is it the same guy who was following us down the road earlier?
Woman: I’m not sure. If there was anyone following you, that is.
Man: There definitely was. And in case it’s him again we’d better get off at the next stop, split up and head for the station. I’ll meet you on platform nine in about 20 minutes. Make sure you’re not followed.
Seven. You hear a teenager talking on the phone about where she lives now. What does she think of her new home?
A It’s like her previous house.
B It’s too far from her school.
C It’s difficult to get used to.
I suppose it was a bit strange at first, after spending all my life in just one house, but that soon passed. Actually, I’m feeling quite at home here now, though I wish it was a bit closer to everything. Particularly the shops and the cinemas and all the other places I used to go with my friends. And school, of course. But the area’s not all that different to where I grew up, with two very nice parks within easy walking distance, and for the first time we’ve got a little garden. The house is bigger, too, so my sisters and I all have our own rooms. That’s a definite improvement!
Eight. You overhear a young man talking about a job he had. Why did he leave work?
A he wanted to travel.
B he didn’t like his job.
C his boss sacked him.
I’d already been working there for three years, and although I was still getting a lot out of the work I was starting to feel it was time I saw the world. Most of my friends had taken a year out between school and university to do so, but I’d only been overseas once, and that was just for a fortnight. So I spoke to my line manager and asked him if I could take a year off, but he said the company probably wouldn’t allow it. In the end I decided to resign – he said it was a shame to have to lose me.
TASK 2
Teacher: We have with us Ms Joanna Riley, whose work as a ranger involves taking care of an area of countryside near here. This morning she’s going to tell us a little about her work, which I’m sure you’ll find very interesting. Ms Riley
Joanna: Hello everyone. Yes, I’ve got a lovely job, and it’s the only one I’ve done, or ever seriously thought about doing – I made up my mind that this was the work for me long before I went to university. Actually, it was when I was doing coursework on a class trip when I was about your age that I first saw the kind of things that a ranger does, and it looked great. Of course, it helped that at the time the sun was shining!
So what does the work consist of? Well, lots of different thing. From putting up signs and maintaining them to forest and wildlife conservation, from reporting any flooded or blocked footpaths to doing minor repairs to things like wooden gates. And, one of my favourites: accompanying groups of school students.
As it happens, there’s more to do in my area than most. Not because of its size – some of the others are much bigger – but owing to the simple fact that it’s so popular with the public, all year round. Partly that’s due to its beauty – there really are some lovely hills and valleys – but also because it never gets really hot or cold there.
In general I think it’s great that it attracts so many people, but that does bring with it some disadvantages. For instance, many of them drive here and need somewhere to leave their cars, but suitable parking places are limited. I also have to remind people to be careful not to start fires, as they could spread quickly in the summer months. Though what really takes up time is dealing with kinds of things that are bound to happen when large numbers of people from the cities – often bringing their dogs with them – start walking on or near agricultural land. They think they have the right to go anywhere they like, but the farmers see things differently. At least, though, there aren’t the problems they have in other parts of the country, such as people shooting or setting traps for wild animals and birds, which is of course completely illegal in my area.
Most of the time, I really enjoy my work, and being on my own nearly all day isn’t something that ever really bothers me. Even in the coldest, darkest months it has its benefits: seeing the clear nights and so on. The one thing that gets me down, though, is coming across piles of cans and packets and other stuff that people can’t be bothered taking home with them. It’s so lazy and selfish of them. It spoils the countryside for everyone else – it can be harmful to wildlife, too. One of my jobs is to provide bins, and I just don’t understand why some people don’t, use them.
I was pleased recently when a law was passed giving rangers some quite useful powers. One I particularly like is being able, in certain circumstances and for a limited amount of time, to prevent the public entering the part of the countryside I’m responsible for. I would also like to have the right to fine anyone who starts fires or destroys things on purpose, but I don’t think that’s likely to happen. A colleague of mine actually thinks we should be able to make arrests, but I think that’s really a job for the police.
So now you’ve heard about some of the good things, and the not –so – good things, about a ranger’s work, what should you do if you’re interested in becoming one? Well, you’ll probably need a degree. Mine is in geography, but I think biology of environmental studies would be more useful. Then, in your student vacations, get some unpaid work helping rangers with things like tidying footpaths or cutting hedges. That will impress employers when you get to an interview, but please don’t make the mistake many applicants do of insisting on working near where you live. You’re unlikely to be successful if you do that. Well, thanks very much for your time, and if you do decide this is the job for you: good luck! Now it there are any … [fade]
