АУДИРОВАНИЕ И ЧТЕНИЕ V – IX КЛАССЫ
Включение единого
государственного экзамена по иностранному языку в штатный режим обусловило
целесообразность формирования
у
учащихся представления о структуре и содержании контрольно - измерительных материалов
и стратегии выполнения тестовых заданий
на
ранних этапах изучения иностранного языка.
В целях оптимизации учебного процесса
было решено использовать формат ЕГЭ при организации штатных контрольных
работ по аудированию и чтению начиная с 5го
класса.
Содержание тестов соответствует тематическому планированию УМК «
Happy English ». Выбор текстов для
контрольных работ
определялся
целью сообщить учащимся дополнительную социокультурную информацию. В тесты
включены изученные на соответствующий момент грамматические аспекты английского
языка.
Уровни сложности заданий
контрольных работ повторяют уровни заданий ЕГЭ. Типы заданий варьируются
от базового к высокому уровню сложности, т.е. от заданий на установление соответствия
и заданий с кратким ответом к заданиям с множественным выбором ответа. Время
выполнения контрольной работы не более 10 минут.
Задания к контрольным
работам составлены в процессе активного сотрудничества с ученицами МОУ
СОШ № 9 Сахно Ольгой и МОУ
СОШ № 1 Гречко Валерией.

black and grey ones. The grey trainers were nicer, but the black trainers were
cheaper. At last Bob decided to have the black ones, and his mother paid 46
dollars for them.
Then they went to look at
caps. Caps, dresses, blouses, and shirts were on the fifth floor. They looked
at lots of caps, but Mrs Brown didn't like any of them because the caps were
not as fashionable as she wanted. They went to buy a blouse for Lucy. Lucy
tried on more than five blouses and they bought a nice blue one for
30 dollars.

ауд Means of Transport
People use
various means of transport to get from one place to another.
In the old
days people had to travel several days, weeks, and months to get to the place
they needed. They either went on foot, by coaches driven by horses or on
horseback or by boats and ships. Then trains, trams, cars, buses, airplanes,
underground, and other means appeared.
Many people
like to travel by air as it is the fastest way of travelling. A lot of people
like to travel by train because they can look at passing villages, forests, and
fields through windows. Some people like to travel by car. There they can go as
slowly or as fast as they like. They can stop when and where they want.
People, who
live in big cities, use various means of transport to get from one place to
another.
Do you know what means of transport Londoners use? Londoners
use the underground railway. They call it 'the tube'.
London's underground
is the oldest in the world. It was opened in 1863.
Londoners use
buses. The first bus route was opened in London in 1904. Today there are
hundreds of routes there. The interesting thing is that some of the routes are

Unusual Spectacle
The Zoo had big baskets for rubbish,
where people, who bought ice-creams and other things, could throw1
the papers from them. One Saturday afternoon Mr Brown was walking near the
cages where the lions and tigers were kept.2 Usually there were a
lot of people round the cages on a Saturday afternoon, but that day there was
nobody there. Mr Brown was surprised. He was even more surprised when he saw a
crowd3 around the rubbish basket near the lion’s cage.
He went towards the crowd. Most of them were children.
He looked over their heads and saw – a little mouse4 which was
running about among pieces of paper in the basket looking for bits of food. It
was only a few centimeters from the children, but it was not afraid – and the
children were more interested in this small, common mouse than in the lions and
tigers because they could watch it very closely and see life, and enjoy it.

ауд A Physical Training Lesson
My name is Philip. I have a dog and his name is
Benjy. He is brown and not very big, but he has big long ears. In the morning
Benjy and I, and some other children all meet in the yard of our house and then
we go to school.
One morning our first lesson
was physical training. It was warm in early autumn and we had our lesson at the
sports ground. During the lesson we ran and jumped. At the end of the lesson we
played games. The teacher watched us, showed us our mistakes, corrected them,
and gave us marks.
In the middle of the lesson one of the exercises
was to run around the sports ground. All my friends were good runners, I ran
very well too. I knew I was the best sportsman in the class. My portrait hung
on the wall near the gymnasium door.
We ran very quickly. I ran in front of the other boys
all the time. Soon I finished. My friends and I went to the teacher. We wanted
to know our marks for this exercise. I wanted to hear the teacher say to me,
"Very good. Your mark is five." But the teacher looked down, picked Benjy
up, held him above our heads, and said to him, "Bravo! You are the first
sportsman in the class."
For me that was a very good lesson — a physical training
lesson.

чт When Invited to an American
Dinner
Here are a few tips to help
you know how to behave at an American dinner. First of all, you should always
arrive on time. Even 15 minutes late is impolite. It is also not polite to come
early. It is always nice to bring your host1 or hostess something
such as flowers, but it is not necessary.
When in the dining room,
don't take a seat until your host or hostess shows you where to sit. Take the napkin
that is beside your plate, 1 . Bowls2 of food
are usually passed from person to person around the table. People serve
themselves.
Before eating, someone may say
prayer2. During prayer you should bow your head and remain silent.
You can start eating when the host or hostess does.
2 , but don't talk with your mouth full.
If someone asks you a
question while your mouth is
full, 3 you answer the question.
Do not reach in front of
someone for a dish, the salt, or the pepper. Simply say, "Please pass the
salt."
4 , "The dinner is very nice!"
When dinner is over, help clear the
dishes off the table. When you are leaving, thank your host or hostess by
saying, " 5 . I enjoyed it very much."
Americans often send a thank
you note afterwards.

In the United States the radio is turned on most of
the time, creating a permanent background noise. You can listen to the radio
while doing some work about the house, reading a book or driving a car.
On the radio one can hear
music, plays, news, and different commentary and discussions called
"forums". At a forum several authorities exchange views on social,
economic and political problems. The listener can hear many opinions. Such
broadcasts are popular with the listeners. A peculiar feature of the American
radio is soap opera. It is a sentimental serial drama that describes domestic
problems and which is for housewives. Soap opera is usually broadcast every day.
Most people find soap opera boring.
There are a lot of games on
the radio. They are called "panel games". During a radio panel-game
listeners send questions to the studio. The member of the panel answers them
and competes for the best results.
Radio brings into millions of
homes not only entertainment and news but also cultural and educational
programmes. Radio stations broadcast about ten thousand hours of musical
programs weekly. Many programs are made up of classical music.

In 1476 he
brought his printing press to London. Printing was something new at that time,

чт The Press in Great
Britain
In Britain newspapers differ greatly from each other in the type of
news they report and the way they report it.
On the one hand, there are "quality" newspapers: The Times, The Financial Times, The Daily Telegraph. These papers report major national and international news stories, the
world of politics and business, the arts and sport.
On the other hand, there are "populars" or
"tabloids", so called because of their small size. Popular papers ( The Daily Express, The Sun, The Daily Star) pay much attention to sensational news, extraordinary events,
catastrophes, accidents, private lives of aristocracy, of people of art, of
music and movie1 stars.
Popular papers use many photographs and
cartoons2. It is often said that the popular press entertains3
its readers, but not informs them. The tabloid press is far more popular than
the quality press.
In addition to 12 national daily newspapers there are 9 national papers which are published on Sundays. Most of the Sundays
papers contain more reading material than the daily papers. Reading a Sunday
paper, like having a big Sunday lunch, is an important tradition in many British
families.
Nearly every area4 in Britain has one or more local5
newspapers. Local newspapers report local news and advertise local business and
events.
The offices of most papers are situated in Fleet Street in the City of
London, which is the centre of British journalism. British papers are bought
and read not only in the United Kingdom, but also in many other countries.

Hood and the Golden Arrow1
Robin Hood
is a legendary hero of English literature. Nobody knows if such a man as Robin
Hood really lived. All we know of him comes from ballads. The ballads say that
there was a man in the 12—13th centuries called Robin Hood, who lived in
Sherwood Forest near the town of Nottingham. Robin Hood took money from the
rich and gave it to the poor people.
Robin Hood
was tall and strong. He could shoot2 very well. The poor people of
England loved him and told many stories about this man.
Many English
people knew that Robin Hood was in Sherwood Forest. A lot of poor men joined
him there. They made Robin Hood their leader.
The sheriff
of Nottingham wanted to kill Robin Hood. He sent his soldiers to Sherwood
Forest many times, but they could not catch Robin Hood. Then the sheriff
decided to organize a shooting competition3 in the town. The sheriff
knew that Robin Hood could shoot very well. "Robin Hood will come,"
he said. "He will take part in the competition and we shall catch
him." The prize was a golden arrow.
Robin Hood
called his men and asked them if they wanted to take part in the shooting
competition in the town. The men decided that the risk was great, but they
wanted to be there.
The day of the competition was
fine. The town was decorated with flags, and the field for the competition was
full of people. The sheriff and his men looked for Robin Hood all over the
town, but did not see him anywhere. The sheriff knew that Robin Hood and his
men were always dressed4 in green. But there were no men in the town
in green suits. At last the competition began. The prize was won by a man who
was dressed in red. He received the golden arrow and left the field for the
competition with his friends. Nobody knew who they were. But it was Robin and
his men! As the young men were walking near the sheriff's house Robin Hood shot
an arrow into an open window. There was a paper at the end of the arrow with
the words: Robin Hood thanks the sheriff for the Golden Arrow!

Phil:
All my classmates say that I'm
trendy. I enjoy wearing stylish clothes. I like to look smart and attractive.
We can't go through life with the same hairstyle or make-up. It's very
important to follow fashion. I hate when people dress alike because they buy
clothes in "chain" stores. I prefer hand-made or design clothes. My
classmates say that I'm materialistic, but it's not a sin, is it? Sometimes I
turn up in something really extravagant. When you are up with fashion you feel
you're an individual.
Tracey:
I don't care what other people
wear. More than that I don't care what I wear. My mum buys clothes for me in a
"chain" store or at a car boot sale. She says that only the rich can
afford following fashion and wearing trendy clothes. I prefer casual things —
jeans, T-shirts, home-made sweaters. And it's a problem for me to get out of
jeans into something more stylish but I don't care. My elder brother's friends
have cut their hair into strange shapes, pierced their ears and wear a lot of
cheap jewellery. They say they show off their independence, feelings and
values. I don't know if they are right. If I were older I would probably do the
same.

чт Fashion in the USA and
Britain
Many British people don't
think about clothes very much. In Britain, as well as in the USA, men in
offices usually wear suits1 and ties2, and women wear
dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers, and business people wear
quite formal3 clothes.
And in some hotels and
restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses. Jeans and open
shirts are sometimes not allowed4. It is difficult to say exactly
what people wear in Britain and the States because everyone is different. It
you are not sure what to wear watch what other people do and then do the same.
Or ask the advice of a friend or your host. You'll feel relaxed5 if
you don't look too different from everyone else.
British people just like to be
comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost
everything. At theatres, cinemas, and concerts you can put on what you like —
from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. In many ways, Americans
are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their
clothes. At home or on holiday most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes.
But when they go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels
and restaurants men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty
clothes and smart hairstyles. But these days most people in Britain and the USA
do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the
right thing.

ауд The Early Days of the Cinema
The cinema gives pleasure to
millions of people, but when we go to see a film, we do not often think of the
men who made it possible.
One of the first cinema films
was made by Edison, a great American engineer. He made also a machine to show
films.
Some people in France made
another machine which could show films too. The first real film show took place
in Paris in 1895. A group of thirty-three people saw a short film about a train
coming to a railway station.
In 1903 one of Edison's
engineers joined all the known and interesting films into one, to make a longer
picture. The people who saw it liked it and asked for more; and so more films
of this kind were made.
The watchers could see the
actors in the film doing something and talking, but they could hear nothing.
Words on the screen explained the situation and what the actors and actresses
were saying. Usually music was played during the showing of a film.
Now, millions of people go to
the cinema, but very few of them think about the great work that goes into the
making of a film.

9кл IVч чт Walt Disney and
His Heroes
Walt Disney was born in Chicago, his father being Irish
Canadian, his mother was of German-American origin. He revealed1 a great
1 early. In 1923 he left with his brother Roy for Hollywood
and for some years struggled against poverty while producing a series of
cartoon films.
Walt Disney
achieved lasting success in September 1928, when "Steamboat Willie"
and the first "Mickey Mouse" with sound 2 . Mickey Mouse
became a household word together with such companions as Minnie, Pluto, and -
perhaps the favourite of them all - Donald Duck.
After the
Second World War Disney turned his attention to real-life nature studies and
non-cartoon films with living actors. After a rather unsuccessful feature
cartoon "The Sleeping Beauty", he made a triumphant come-back with
the very successful "Mary Poppins".
In 1955 he
branched out into a different enterprise - 3 , a huge amusement park
in southern California.
Disneyland is

This superb kingdom of fantasy linked to technology was created by Walt Disney.
The park is
divided into six areas and there is so much to see and do in each that no one
would attempt to see all of them in one visit. For extended2 visits,
there are 5 nearby.
Walt Disney
died in California at the age of 65. His works have given so much pleasure for
many years to many people, young and old, in many countries.
