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.

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.

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

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. 4.

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 1

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.

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)
