ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ
Цель настоящего пособия – подготовка абитуриентов и учащихся выпускных классов общеобразовательных школ к централизованному тестированию по английскому языку.
Впервуюочередь, пособиепредназначено длясамостоятельной работы учащихся. Наличие ключей позволяет пользоваться тестами в режиме самоконтроля, а все возникающие вопросы решать
вклассе с помощью учителя. Можно использовать предлагаемый материал и для промежуточного и итогового контроля, а также для организации повторения изученных грамматических явлений.
Отметим, что предлагаемые в пособии тесты имеют определенные преимущества, поскольку являются от начала и до конца тематическими. Поэтому содержание текстов-заданий можно использовать как надежную опору для самостоятельного устного речевого высказывания. Формат предлагаемых тестов идентичен материалам централизованного тестирования 2010 года.
Взаданиях A1–А25 отражены основные разделы английской грамматики, причем многие задания сформулированы на основе цельных текстов. Отдельные из них являются заданиями относительно более высокого уровня трудности.
ВыполнениезаданийА26–А32 требуетпониманияобщеупотребительной лексики. В заданиях А33–А35 проверяется знание формул речевого этикета. Задания по проверке умений в двух разных видах чтения (А36–А48) предъявлены на базе текстов, подготовленных на основе оригинальных текстов и пособий зарубежного издания.
Задания B1–В12 позволяют проверить уровень сформированности умений словообразования и правильного употребления английской лексики.
Оценка уровня готовности к централизованному тестированию определяется путем проверки правильности употребления конкретных лексико-грамматических структур. Все двадцать тестов идентичны по уровню трудности, поэтому улучшение результатов от теста к тесту может означать несомненный прогресс.
Авторы желают успеха всем пользователям настоящего пособия – учащимся старших классов школ. Мы надеемся, что наше пособие поможет легко справиться с заданиями централизованного тестирования!

(1) There was a middle-aged man who had recently lost his wife after a short illness; He was overcome with grief and his friends urged him to go back to work to help him forget. He worked for a bank in a city and every day he took the train into the city. It was a slow train and stopped at several small towns on the way. He always sat in the same seat next to the window and tried to read a newspaper.

(2)One evening he was on his way home as usual. He was thinking about his wife and feeling rather sad. At the stop before his a young woman got on and took the seat opposite him. He hardly noticed her as he was so deep in thought. The next evening she was there again and this time he was aware of her because he caught sight of her bright red coat. It was a colour his wife often used to wear. The girl continued to join the train at the same station every day and usually sat in the same seat, if it was free, opposite him. He was a shy man and with the sadness he carried he did not look up when she sat down. However, on the rare occasions when she did not catch his train he hoped she would be there. After about three months the man decided he needed a holiday. He didn’t want to go anywhere that reminded him of his wife so he chose to go to a small island where he could walk and watch birds. He hadn’t done that since his childhood.
(3)It was a spring day with a sharp wind and rain in the air. He decided to walk to the other side of the island. It was not a difficult walk but at one point he had to walk very close to the cliff edge. The cliff path was narrow and dropped steeply down to the sea. He could see the waves breaking on the rocks below. As he stared down at the sea something caught his eye. It was a flash of red. He looked more carefully and then looked through his binoculars. It was in fact some red material that was caught between two rocks. His heart missed a beat and in his mind he saw the girl on the train trapped by her red coat. With great difficulty he climbed down the cliff face and towards the rocks. There was nothing there. He searched carefully for several minutes before returning to the cliff walk and his hotel. It was very strange but he felt quite upset that he had not found it.
(4)The man was anxious to get back to work. On his first day back he could hardly wait until it was time to catch his train home. The girl did not get on the train. The next day he was even more excited although he was at the same time terrified that she might not be there. As the train drew into the little station he looked out of the window in both directions, hoping to see her red coat. There was no red coat. The train began its journey again and with a heavy heart the man sat back in his seat.
(5)When he got home that night a neighbour called round with a parcel that had been delivered that day whilst he was out. He opened it and there in a neat bundle was a red wool coat – his wife’s coat. The tears came and he buried his face in the warm, soft material. There was
8
also a note from the dry cleaners explaining they had at last found the missing item and were returning it as requested. No charge would be made for the cleaning. It was an important moment for the man. With care he folded the coat and wrapped it in paper. He took it round to a neighbour who knew his wife and asked her if she would like it. ‘You see,’ he said, ‘it’s time I let go. You’ve all been telling me that and now I think I can.’
А36) It can be understood that the man lives in
1)the city centre.
2)a small suburban town.
3)a town far away from the city.
А37) In his youth, the man used to
1)travel far and wide.
2)often go to parties.
3)often go on long walks.
А38) The place where the man stayed can be described as
1)not very densely populated.
2)hardly a picturesque one.
3)never visited by tourists.
А39) The man took the coat to his neighbour because
1)he thought it belonged to the young woman.
2)it was a mistaken delivery.
3)he wanted to start a new life.

(A43)___In business, like in many other activities, image is everything. Your physical appearance is just as important as your working results. This is why you pay homage to the mirror each morning, picking out the right outfit, grooming, to show the world by your outward appearance that you are a serious professional. There is no questioning the fact that physical appearance is a critical component in how you are perceived, but what about your ethical appearance? Sure, you may see yourself looking like a million bucks but what others see behind the facade might be a penniless pauper.
(A44)___Make no mistake; the ethical impression you leave on others communicates volumes about your character. People will judge you more quickly and more deeply based on your actions rather than your clothes. No matter how clean your suit, leaving a soiled perception of your ethics can negate whatever outward impression you attempt to make. All it takes is one simple act or oversight to start the ball rolling.
(A45)___Sometimes an unfortunate chain of events may tarnish your reputation forever. Perhaps you found yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or possibly you did something truly foolish and wish you could start over. Whatever the transgression, a permanent impression has been made and now you’re trying to row upstream. Unfortunately, there is a part of our human nature that gets satisfaction in another’s misfortune and rushes to pass judgment instantaneously.
(A46)___What happens after that fateful perception is made, you can’t control. Gossip, hearsay, even outright lies are sure to have plenty of willing listeners and believers. Forget whatever you’ve heard about be-
