Task 5. Read the text below. For questions (22-26) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D)

There were many interesting people who infiuenced the development of civilization. One of them was the famous Greek philosopher, Socrates. He did nothing but talk – talk to anyone who would listen to him, discussing philosophy with students or sailors, questioning men about what they believed in and why, and how they could prove it. He listened to all people with great attention, sometimes for hours on end.

People's attitude to him was different. Some Athenians called him a dangerous idler who did nothing.

But the Oracle at Delphi had called him the wisest man alive, but Socrates said that the reason for his wisdom was only that unlike other men he knew how little he knew.

His enemies hated him. They said he made young minds doubt, if not mock everything. Due to this they said he was guilty and demanded his death.

His friends wanted to smuggle him out of prison but he refused to escape. He spent his last hours discussing the problems of good and evil. His mind was never having rest.

When his disciples saw him drink the cup of poison with dignity they wept. The man is gone but the "Socratic method of questioning and teaching has always been respected since then.

25.If Socrates had agreed with his enemies, he wouldn't have been           [envenomed, hung, murdered, poisoned]

26.His friends couldn't             [save him, spoil him, hang him, release him]

Most people think of a machine as a complicated device with hundreds of moving parts and powered by some sort ot heat engine or by electricity. As a matter of fact, even such simple tools as a hammer and a screw are also machines. To a scientist, a machine is any object   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]_(33). You may have to strain yourself in lifting a heavy weight by hand; yet you can often push the weight up an inclined plane which allows you to use less effort; therefore, it is a machine. What do we mean by saying that a machine allows us to use less effort in doing a given amount of work? First of all, we must see what a scientist means _   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H](34).

No object moves without being pushed or pulled in some way. A door opens   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H](35). A window shade comes down when we pull it by a string. A bomb drops from an airplane   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H](36). In the language of physics such a push or pull is called a force. If you braced yourself together against a house and pushed with all your might, you wouldn't succeed in moving it. This is because your force is not great enough to overcome the resisting force of the building. You are certainly exerting effort, but a physicist would say that you are not doing work. For him, work is performed only __   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H](37). To move an object and thus to do work, we exert a steady force that is greater than the resisting force of the body-the force, such as gravity, friction or inertia,   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H](38). We can use a small force at one end of a simple machine to move an object against a much greater force at the other end of a machine.

A when we push against it

B when a force results in moving a body

C although machines multiply our force

D when he speaks of "effort and of work

E because it is pulled down by gravity

F that prevents the body from being moved

G that allows us to do work with less eftort

H by the sound of a bell

Read the texts below. For questions (39-48) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).

The Benton Horde, a priceless collection of ancient Roman silver, has disappeared      [at, to, from, out](39) its display cabinet in the British Museum. At today's emergency press conference, the museum director John Clive said, that according to his theory, the treasures                            [have probably stolen, had probably been stolen, were probably stolen, were probably being stolen](40) by a professional gang on behalf of a specific collector. The matter is that the stolen silver          [is, is being, was, had been](41) very well-known and it will never be sold      [in, to, on, from](42) the open market.

Ten museums                  [had robbed, were robbing, have been robbed, robbed] (43) in the last six months and the number has been rising steadily over the last few years. The Benton Horde is considered to be one of Britain's most important collections of Roman silver. It had lain undiscovered for almost sixteen centuries beneath a Sussex field until it was found incidentally in 1926.

A poor young artist was asked to paint the portrait of a (44)         [reach, reached, rich, riched] lady, and he did his best to make a good picture. When the portrait was finished, it was shown to the (45)         [ladies, lady's, ladies', lady] friends. Some of them thought it was too realistic. They were afraid the lady would not like the picture. But the painter (46)       [felt, feel, feels, left]that he had been (47)            [successful, success, succeed, successive] and he did not want to change anything.

Then one of his friends suggested the (48)           [follow, follower, following, follows] "We shall leave it to the lady's dog to decide whether the picture is good or bad."

The next day the picture was sent to the lady's house where her friends had gathered to see the result of the test.

As soon as the dog was brought before the portrait, it began to lick it all over. Everybody congratulated

the painter.

Do you think the dog recognized its mistress?
