1. Общие положения

Письменная №2 по дисциплине «Ино­странный язык» (английский), выполняемая студентами заочной формы обучения, предусмотрена учебным планом СПбГИЭУ. Данная дисциплина призвана обеспечить современный уровень специалиста, способного владеть иностранным языком для об­щения на бытовую тематику, делового общения и извлечения информации профессионального назначения из зарубежных пе­чатных источников.

Целью выполнения контрольных заданий является самостоятельное приобретение и углубление знаний студентами в области иностранного языка. Кроме того, является одним из видов проверки качества знаний студентов, изучающих данную дисциплину (зачёт, экзамен).

2. Методические указания к изучению дисциплины

Основной целью обучения студентов является практическое владение иностранным языком для социального и профессио­нального общения.

Задачами дисциплины «Иностранный язык», исходя из цели этой дисциплины, является:

· углубление знаний правил о языковом строе изучае­мого языка;

· дальнейшее формирование и совершенствование навы­ков изучающего и просмотрового чтения тек­стов, представляющих профессиональный интерес;

· совершенствование у обучающихся навыков выбороч­ного полного перевода на русский язык эко­номиче­ского текста, представляющего профессио­нальный ин­терес, определения основных положений текста;

· умение общаться на иностранном языке по общеэконо­мической, профессиональной, страновед­ческой тема­тике, а также на бытовые темы (владеть нормативным произношением и ритмом речи);

· развитие навыков написания на иностранном языке от­дельных видов документации, деловой корреспон­денции, отчетов и др.;

· дальнейшее изучение видов и форм деловых контак­тов, этики делового общения;

Студентам заочного обучения особое внимание следует обратить на самостоятельное изучение материала из рекомен­дуемых учебных пособий. Студенты должны стремиться сфор­мировать и развить навык изучающего чтения , предполагающий полное понимание содержания оригинальных текстов по обще­экономической и профессиональной тематике с использованием словаря и навык просмотрового чтения , предполагающий по­нимание общего содержания оригинальных текстов по обще­экономической и профессиональной тематике без использова­ния словаря.

Для дальнейшего развития лексических навыков студентам необходимо регулярно вести рабочий словарь.

Необходимо продолжать работу над закреплением и систематизацией грамматического материала, пройденного на предыдущих этапах обучения.

Для формирования навыков восприятия и понимания об­щего содержания речевых отрезков, произносимых на ино­странном языке в обычном темпе речи (лекций, докладов и др.) по общеэкономической, профессиональной, страноведческой тематике рекомендуется использовать аудио- и видеокурсы анг­лийского языка.

3. Методические указания к выполнению

контрольной работы

2. Видовременные формы глаголов.

3. Страдательный залог.

4. Структура предложения. (Порядок слов предложе­ния. Простое предложение. Сложносочиненное и сложно­подчиненное предложение. Союзы и соеди­нительные слова.)

5. Согласование времен. Прямая и косвенная речь. Пунктуация.

12. Предлоги. Предлоги времени и места. Предлоги на­правления и движения.

13. Союзы. Сочинительные и подчинительные союзы.

Контрольная работа №2 строится на базе предыдущей работы и требует усвоения основных положений грамматики, синтаксиса, лексики, словообразования и понятия контекста в английском языке.

В данных методических указаниях используется следующий принцип построения вариантов заданий:

Часть 1 – выполнение упражнений на грамматические и лексические аспекты английского языка: подстановочные уп­ражнения и упражнения на преобразование грамматических форм и предложений, упражнения на проверку знаний студен­том стилистически нейтральной наиболее употребительной лек­сики, отражающей раннюю специализацию.

Часть 2 – задания, контролирующие развитие навыков устного контакта (телефонные переговоры как форма деловой коммуникации) и письменного контакта (структура делового письма, оформление письменных документов)

Часть 3 – перевод текста по специальности (объем 2000 печатных знаков) на русский языка с дальнейшими ответами на вопросы по содержанию текста.

Часть 1.

Задание 1.1., 1.2., 1.3, 1.4. Следует четко занести ответы в таблицы. Английский вариант текстов этих заданий в контрольную работу не вносится .

Задание 1.5. Следует четко занести ответы в таблицы. В правой части таблицы необходимо написать исправленное предложение с выделением исправленного фрагмента. Предложение должно быть либо напечатано, либо написано четким, понятным почерком, без исправлений.

Английский вариант текстов этих заданий в контрольную работу не вносится .

Задание 1.6. Должно быть либо напечатано, либо написано четким, понятным почерком, без исправлений.

Часть 2

Задание 2.1. Следует четко занести ответы в таблицы. В контрольную работу вносится весь текст составленного диалога. Ответы должны быть либо напечатаны, либо написаны четким, понятным почерком, без исправлений и выделены подчеркива­нием.

Задание 2.2., 2.3. Следует четко занести ответы в таблицы. Английский вариант текстов этих заданий в контрольную работу не вносится .

Часть 3

Задание 3.1., 3.2. Следует четко занести ответы в таблицу.

Задание 3.3. Перевод текста должен быть выполнен полностью, без сокращений. Возможно приведение нескольких вариантов отдельных фрагментов. Английский вариант текстов этих заданий в контрольную работу не вносится .

К выполнению контрольных заданий надо подходить творчески, особенно к переводу текста. Прежде всего, необходимо ознакомиться с его содержанием и определить общую направленность текста. Затем следует сделать список незнакомых слов, встречающихся в тексте и расположить их в алфавитном порядке, что сэкономит время поиска их русских соответствий в словаре. В качестве третьего этапа целесообразно сконцентрировать внимание на словосочетаниях и грамматических конструкциях, содержащихся в тексте, и – при необходимости – обратится к грамматическим комментариям, находящимся в рекомендуемых учебниках английского языка. После этих предварительных этапов обработки текста можно приступить к его переводу.

В ряде случаев для точной передачи содержания может потребоваться специализированный экономический словарь.

3.2. (4 x 2 points) Read the following article. For questions 1-8, you are to choose the option (А, В, С or D) which best matches the information given in the article.

The increasing cost of energy has caused many companies to make permanent changes in their offices. On a small scale, office managers are purchasing energy-efficient office machines and encouraging recycling programs to cut energy costs. On a larger scale, architects and builders are responding to the demands of companies for more energy-efficient buildings.

Buildings constructed or renovated in the last few years have incorporated energy-saving measures. Office maintenance workers have sealed cracks around windows and doors. Builders have installed sets of double doors to reduce the exchange of indoor and outdoor air when doors are opened.

This has reduced transfer of air in and out of the building. While it has had cost-saving benefits, it has caused personnel-related costs such as increased employee absences due to illness. Since the interior air is recirculated and little fresh air is allowed in, everyday contaminants such as dust and germs remain in the air. Employees in energy-efficient buildings breathe the same air again and again. They suffer from an increase in headaches, colds, dry skin, and dry throats, and in severe cases respiratory problems.

1. Why was the construction of office buildings changed?

(A) To make construction easier

(B) To use better building materials

(C) To reduce energy consumption

(D) To make the offices more attractive

2. How is construction different now?

(A) Offices have fewer entrances.

(B) Windows and doors fit tightly.

(C) Air conditioning has been eliminated.

(D) Sprinkler systems are used.

3. What unexpected problem has this caused?

(A) It takes longer to enter the building.

(B) Employees are not warm enough.

(C) Offices cannot be cleaned.

(D) More workers take sick leave.

4. What illness increased among workers in these buildings?

(A) Headaches

(B) Muscle aches

(C) Rashes

(D) Nausea

3.3. (19 points) Translate the following text into Russian.

Economic efficiency

A major goal of almost all societies is economic efficiency, or using scare resources to produce as much as possible of desired goods and services. This goal represents the practical economist in action, confronting scarcity with self-interested, maximizing behaviour. Economic efficiency means not only producing goods as cheaply as possible in terms of opportunity cost, but also choosing the most desirable output combination on the production possibilities frontier.

Economic efficiency is reflected in both the what-to-produce and the how-to-produce questions. Production efficiency involves answering the question of how to produce successfully. Production efficiency means producing a given amount of a good or service at the lowest possible opportunity cost (smallest sacrifice of resources). Thus, if a good can be produced with more than one combination of resources, much capital and little labour or less capital and a lot of labour, for example, the least costly resource combination should be chosen for production efficiency.

Allocative efficiency means allocating resources among all the possible goods and services that could be produced so that consumers get the products they want most. Allocative efficiency is the response to the desires of a whole society full of practical economists. A society enjoys allocative efficiency if the answer to the what-to-produce question maximizes the satisfaction of its consumers.

Remember the Great Wall of China? If one were to build such a wall today, the production efficiency question would be whether to use a million people with only a little capital (tools) to build a wall, or whether to use only a thousand people equipped with earth-moving machinery and concrete trucks. Building it the cheapest way would be efficient production. The allocative efficiency questions are whether to build it at all, in preference to other goods and services that could be produced, or to build it half as high or half as long, and use the remaining resources to produce other goods that consumers value more highly.

Dear Roberto,

I have some interesting news for you. My company is sending me to Greendale to work on a project in our branch office there.

Since my family won't be with me, I'll only need a small apartment. Our office is downtown, right across from Greendale Park, so I'll need to be able to get there easily by public transportation. I won't have a car. I would like to pay no more than $1,500 a month. Is that possible in Greendale? I would __(3)__ any advice you could give me.

I plan to stay two weeks after my assignment is finished to travel around the area. I plan to spend most of that time at the beach. Maybe __(4)__ to join me on this vacation. __(5)__

Your friend,

Luis Silva

Dear Luis,

__(6)__ to receive your news. I know you'll enjoy your time in our wonderful city. __(7)__ a good recommendation for you. There are several hotels that have special suites that are like small apartments. They all have kitchens and are very comfortable to live in for a few months. They are also inexpensive— about $300 less than the price you said you could pay. All of these hotels are located in the North End of the city. There are hotels in the business district, close to your office, but they don't have these comfortable suites. __(8)__ some brochures so you can pick the hotel you __(9)__ .

I look __(10)__ you and joining you on the vacation you have planned.

Your friend,

Roberto Mendez

Drug advisory committees report to the Ministry of Health. It is the responsibility of these committees to protect consumers, most of whom have little chemical or biological knowledge with which to evaluate medications. Drug advisory committees provide the Ministry of Health with the necessary information for evaluating the proper degree of access to medications by the consumer. Drug advisory committees also oversee the preparation of materials that provide clearly explained information about commonly available drugs in a manner that is readily understandable to the layperson. Drug education may take the form of literature, advertisements, training of health care personnel, or other means as deemed appropriate by each committee. Drug advisory committees should be composed of physicians, registered nurses, epidemiologists, and pharmacologists. Members must posess specific scientific expertise and must have considerable experience working with consumers so that they can assess the impact of their decisions and projects on consumers. Each committee must have 10-15 members, who will be evaluated every two years by officials from the Ministry of Health.

1. Who is the audience for this passage?

(A)
