Reading (missing sentences)
1 Read the title of the text and the first and last paragraphs. What is the article about? Read to check.
A bucketful of worlds
A h’s raining planets. Members of the science team for NASA’s Kepler telescope have recently discovered more than 1,200 worlds orbiting distant stars. Of these, approximately SO could be Earth like planets that may have a liquid ocean and a thick atmosphere. In other words, worlds that might be fit for life.
В This is big news, and the search for radio transmissions from these worlds has already begun. Finding a signal would be very shocking. Simply because it would tell us that a planet is home to inhabitants with technological knowledge.
C It’s hard not to be impressed by the numbers. For thousands of years, our species knew of only seven bodies moving through the star-filled skies: the Sun, the Moon, and five bright planets with names from Roman mythology. Then, in 1781, the English astronomer William Herschel’s discovery of Uranus suggested that more planets might be hiding in the dark, outer areas of our solar system.
Within a century and a half, Neptune and Pluto were also discovered. Then there was nothing until 1995. when Swiss astronomers announced that a planet was racing around a rather ordinary star, 50 light years away. It was a world at least half the size of Jupiter and so dose to its sun that daytime temperatures on the surface would be several thousand degrees.
D Since then, teams of astronomers have used large, ground based telescopes to hunt for more planets. So far they’ve found more than 500 extrasolar planets, which is nearly one a week. That is, until Kepler’s big announcement. This incredible NASA telescope is able to find many planets at the same time.
E Apart from Kepler’s ability to uncover multiple new worlds, it also has the ability to find small planets that are the size of Earth (or even Mars) — and in orbits that might allow them to enjoy temperatures that could support life. So far, the SETI* institute has searched the worlds Kepler has found for signals over one small slice of the radio dial. No clearly extraterrestrial transmissions have been found.
F But these early results from Kepler indicate that approximately 3 percent of all stars could have a habitable planet. Within a thousand light years of Earth — a distance that could be covered by transmitters — there are at least 30,000 of these habitable worlds. It’s possible, of course, that they could all be dry and empty.
G But Kepler’s search is still underway. More Earth-like planets will be found in the next few years, and they’ll be observed very carefully for the telltale signs of intelligence. Sure, nothing has been found so far, but 30,000 is a big number!
* SETI = Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence

Текст аудироваия:
Speaker A
Lots of people want to be successful in business and run their own company, but I want to take it a step further; I’d love to run my own restaurant chain one day. People tell me I’m crazy and that it’ll be an unbelievable amount of work, with no guarantee that I’ll succeed, but I don’t care. There’s just something in me that wants to show myself and others just how much I can achieve. The sky’s the limit!
Speaker B
I’ve always wanted to be a pilot. The thing is, though, you can’t just send your CV out to airlines and expect to be offered a job. It can take up to 10 years of flying experience just to be able to apply for a position! So, I need to have lots of flying lessons and get various certificates and I need to get a four-year degree at a university, too. It’s a long, difficult, expensive process, but I’m determined to reach my goal!
Speaker C
To me, there would be nothing more rewarding than being a nurse. Nurses are there for people at their most difficult moments. They get to help them practically with their medical knowledge and they might even get the chance to help save someone’s life. Nurses can also take their skills with them wherever they go. I think it would be great to spend some time nursing abroad.
Speaker D
I’m actually quite envious of my friends who want to be doctors, accountants or teachers. I’m finding it really difficult to choose which direction I want my career to take. I’ve never really had a strong desire to do one particular job. I think it’s hard to be sure if you would like something when you’ve never tried it. Maybe I should try shadowing a few people in their jobs so that I can get an idea about what they do. Perhaps I’ll find something that appeals to me.
Speaker E
I’ve always enjoyed teamwork at school. I think generally people can work more effectively when they make use of each other’s skills and strengths. When people work together they can get ideas from each other and put them all together to create something really really good. You can’t do that when you work by yourself. I think it could be really lonely and boring working alone, too, so I definitely wouldn’t like to do that.
Writing (a letter)
4 Read the rubric and find the key words. Then do the task.
You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen friend, Thomas.
… My dad is setting up an Internet business of the moment. He’s really excited about it — I’d love to do the same one day. … Can you see yourself running your own business one day? What would your dream job be like? Is it more important to you to make a lot of money or be happy in your job? Why?
Write him a letter and answer his 3 questions. Write 100-120 words. Remember the rules of letter writing.
Specking (giving a talk)
5 a) Read the rubric and find the key words. Brainstorm words/ideas related to the topic in pairs.
Give a 2-minute talk about exploration.
Remember to say:
why people want to go where no one has ever been before
what the benefits of expeditions can be to the world
whether you would like to go on an expedition, what kind e.g. ocean, Arctic, desert & why
b) Give your talk.
c) Listen to a student giving the same talk. How did it compare to yours?
Текст аудирования:
I think that there are a few different reasons why people might want to go where no one has been before, for example to the bottom of a very deep ocean or a really deep cave. First of all, many people enjoy the challenge of these kinds of experiences. They are the sort of people who experience a real thrill when they manage to achieve something that is considered really difficult or see an amazing sight for the first time ever. Also, they might want to go for a specific reason, like to study plant and animal life there for their job. In fact, these kinds of expeditions are usually very useful for scientists and other professionals. They can teach the world about new species and environmental issues, for instance. Through photography and journalism, people can also share in the amazing experience of seeing these beautiful places. Personally, I would love to go on an expedition, but I would be quite nervous about it. Sometimes exploring new places can be difficult because the environment is harsh or it’s difficult to reach. I think that it would be really important to train well before and to go with experts. Most of all, I’d love to go on a voyage to the bottom of the sea! I think it would be just amazing to see all the unusual animal life down there.

6 Change the words in brackets so that they correspond grammatically to the text. Complete with the gaps (1-9) with the correct words.
Eureka!
As Archimedes relaxed in his bath, it came to him. “Eureka!” he 1) cried, meaning “I’ve found it!”
He leapt out of the bath and ran naked into the street, eager 2) to share his amazing insight. What he’d thought of was a way of calculating the volume of irregular objects by measuring how far the water 3) would rise when the object is submerged. Archimedes had one of the finest minds in Ancient Greece and these days his exclamation ‘Eureka!” 4) is used throughout the world when someone has made a sudden breakthrough.
But having a ‘Eureka moment’ 5) isn’t as easy as it seems. Archimedes was a brilliant physicist who had a lifetime of studying and practical experience behind him.
It seems the best chance of 6) having a(n) ‘Eureka moment’ occurs when you understand the background to a problem, but your brain is completely relaxed, which allows creative ideas to form. So take a page out of Archimedes’ book. If you 7) are finding it difficult to solve a problem or remember a fact, then take a break, think about something else or go for a walk. When you are relaxed or detracted, you are more likely to arrive at the solution you 8) are looking for. You might not have a ‘eureka moment’ as significant as Archimedes’, but have patience and maybe one 9) will come to you in time!
7 Complete the text with the gaps (1-6) with the proper lexical form of the words in brackets.
The Kungur Ice Cave
The Kungur Ice Cave in the Ural Mountains in Russia is one of the biggest caves in the world and a unique 1) natural wonder. 2) Scientists say that the cave is around 10 to 12,000 years old and includes around 6 km of passages, 20 grottos and 60 lakes. The caw owes its popularity to 3) impressive ice formations including ice stalactites and multicoloured sparkling ice crystals.
It’s a 4) mysterious place, too; many of the labyrinths and grottos in the cave are still being explored. Perhaps the most amazing 5) attraction of all in the cave is an enormous lake which covers almost 1,100 km2! You can take a boat across it. But it’s too cold to swim in! There is also a grotto in the cave where visitors experience total 6) darkness. Everyone feels disoriented after just 5 minutes there!

The Kelvin scale is another way to measure temperature, used mostly by scientists. It has the same units of measurement as the Celsius scale, so that 1°C is the same as 1 Kelvin. But on the Kelvin scale, 0 is not the freezing point of water. Instead, on the Kelvin scale, water freezes at 273.14 K. Absolute zero Is what we call OK, which Is a lot colder than 0°C. In fact, absolute zero Is so cold that It Is only theoretical. It doesn’t really exist. Absolute zero is so cold that, in theory, there is no heat left, and no movement of molecules at all. This will never exist because as something approaches absolute zero, the laws of quantum physics start to apply and things become very, very complicated.

Dear Thomas,

Thanks for your letter. It’s exciting that your dad is starting an Internet business.

Yes, I can see myself running my own business one day, but only if I have a good idea and enough experience. My dream job would be something creative and interesting, where I could use my skills and help other people. I think it’s more important to be happy in your job than to make a lot of money, because if you enjoy your work, you feel motivated and satisfied every day.

Write back soon.

Best wishes,
Alex

People want to go where no one has ever been before because they are curious and enjoy a challenge. Expeditions can also help the world because they give scientists new information about nature, animals and the environment. I would like to go on an expedition to the bottom of the sea, because I think it would be amazing to see unusual sea life and explore a place few people have seen. Of course, I would need good training and experts with me.
