Glossary: henge – a prehistoric monument consisting of a circle of massive stone or wood uprights

Archaeologists have discovered evidence of what they believe was a second Stonehenge located a little more than a mile away from the world-famous prehistoric monument.

The new find on the west bank of the river Avon has been called "Bluestonehenge", after the colour of the 25 Welsh stones of (1)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H].

Excavations at the site have suggested there was once a stone circle 10 metres in diameter and surrounded by a henge – a ditch with an external bank, according to the project director, Professor Mike Parker Pearson, of the University of Sheffield.

The stones at the site were removed thousands of years ago but the sizes of the holes in (2)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] indicate that this was a circle of bluestones, brought from the Preseli mountains of Wales, 150 miles away.

The standing stones marked the end of the avenue (3)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H], a 1¾-mile long processional route constructed at the end of the Stone Age. The outer henge around the stones was built about 2400BC but arrowheads found in the stone circle indicate the stones were put up as much as 500 years earlier.

Parker Pearson said his team was waiting for results of radiocarbon dating (4)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] whether stones currently in the inner circle of Stonehenge were originally located at the other riverside construction.

Pearson said: "The big, big question is when these stones were erected and when they removed – and when we get the dating evidence we can answer both those questions." He added: "We speculated in the past (5)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] at the end of the avenue near the river. But we were completely unprepared to discover that there was an entire stone circle.

Another team member, Professor Julian Thomas, said the discovery indicated (6)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] was central to the religious lives of the people who built Stonehenge. "Old theories about Stonehenge that do not explain the evident significance of the river will have to be rethought," he said. Dr Josh Pollard, project co-director from the University of Bristol, described the discovery as "incredible".

A which could reveal

B which they stood

C which it was once made up

D that this stretch of the river Avon

E that there might have been something

F that it should be considered as integral part

G that leads from the river Avon to Stonehenge

H about the necessity of excavations

TASK 2.Read the text below. Choose from (A-H) the one which best fits each space (1-6). There are two choices you do not need to use.

The necessity of telephones is unquestionable; they have become, especially since the 1950s, as essential tool in modern life. Can you imagine your life without one at home, even in your car, or when on holiday in the mountains, for instance? Hardly anybody would give (1)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H].

In recent years mobile phones have become particularly fashionable. Technically called cellular phones, they are one of the great contributions of technology to our lives. Although it has taken a long time to make them available to everybody, it is now clear that (2)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]. Calls can now be made from far away areas of the world.

Smart phones perform a lot of necessary functions. They allow business people to remain within their offices’ reach, and drivers to travel alone safety. With their help you`ve got access to the Internet. Smaller and lighter models now allow users to take their telephones almost everywhere. You may go to the forest, be on board a ship, in a gym, (3)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H].

Nowadays, throughout the world, the smart phone has become a status symbol, without which in some cultures it is assumed that you belong to a «lower class» of «less successful» people. Yet, it is often amusing to hear such «successful» people using their phones to call friends from bars and restaurants (4)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]. It is simply a way of showing off and making oneself look important to others.

Obviously, smart phones are convenient but this convenience also has its price. Although today’s cellular telephones (5)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H], they still remain more expensive to buy and use than regular telephones. On average, cellular phone calls are about twice as expensive as those from regular phones and additionally, you have to pay a monthly fee to use your phone.
