Одно из заданий ЕГЭ по английскому предполагает умение задавать прямые вопросы, опираясь на ключевые слова и фразы. Здесь приводим готовые образцы вопросов на основе открытой базы заданий Федерального института педагогических измерений (Фипи).
Кратко о задании на прямые вопросы.
В этом типе заданий вам предлагается какая-либо ситуация (вы собираетесь записаться в танцевальную школу или на языковые курсы; вам предстоит путешествие за границу; вы намереваетесь приобрести какой-либо товар и т.п.). В данной ситуации вам хотелось бы прояснить для себя несколько вопросов и получить дополнительную информацию. И вот вы, якобы, звоните в интересующую вас компанию и задаете им вопросы.
В задании вам предложены четыре ключевых слова или фраз, на основе которых вы и должны задать вопросы. Если, к примеру, вы видите слово price, то вопрос должен быть о цене товара или услуги. Если же вам встретилось слово location, то вы должны задать вопрос о местонахождении компании.
Запомните: вопросы должны быть адекватны ситуации. Так, если вы, якобы, звоните в цветочный магазин и узнаете его местонахождение, то не надо выпаливать Where are you located? Вы интересуетесь местонахождением конкретного сотрудника магазина, который вам ответил, или самого магазина? Вопрос должен быть однозначен и понятен: Where is your flower shop located?

Llandudno
Llandudno is truly a fine and handsome place, built on a generously proportioned bay and lined along its broad front with a huddle of prim but gracious nineteenth-century hotels that reminded me in the fading light of a lineup of Victorian nannies. Llandudno was purpose-built as a resort in the mid-1800s, and it cultivates a nice old-fashioned air. I don’t suppose that Lewis Carroll, who famously strolled this front with little Alice Liddell in the 1860s, would notice a great deal of change today.
To my consternation, the town was packed with weekending pensioners. Buses from all over were parked along the side streets, every hotel I called at was full, and in every dining room I could see crowds – veritable oceans – of nodding white heads spooning soup and conversing happily. Goodness knows what had brought them to the Welsh seaside at this bleak time of year.
Farther on along the front there stood a clutch of guesthouses, large and virtually indistinguishable, and a few of them had vacancy signs in their windows. I had eight or ten to choose from, which always puts me in a mild fret because I have an unerring instinct for choosing badly. My wife can survey a row of guesthouses and instantly identify the one run by a white-haired widow with a fondness for children, and sparkling bathroom facilities, whereas I can generally count on choosing the one run by a guy with a grasping manner, and the sort of cough that makes you wonder where he puts the phlegm. Such, I felt, would be the case tonight.
All the guesthouses had boards out front listing their many amenities – COLOUR TV, HOSPITALITY TRAYS, FULL CENTRAL HEATING, and the coyly euphemistic EN SUITE ALL ROOMS, meaning private bathrooms. One place offered satellite TV and a trouser press, and another boasted CURRENT FIRE CERTIFICATE – something I had never thought to look for in a B&B. All this heightened my sense of unease and doom. How could I possibly choose intelligently among such a variety of options?
I selected a place that looked reasonable enough from the outside – its board promised a color TV and coffee making facilities, about all I require these days for a Saturday night – but from the moment I set foot in the door I knew it was a bad choice. I was about to turn and flee when the owner emerged from a back room and stopped my retreat with an unenthusiastic “Yes?” A short conversation revealed that a single room with breakfast was for £19.50. It was entirely out of the question that I would stay the night in such a dismal place at such an exorbitant price, so I said, “That sounds fine,” and signed in. Well, it’s so hard to say no.
My room was everything I expected it to be – cold and cheerless with laminated furniture, grubbily matted carpet, and those mysterious ceiling stains that bring to mind a neglected corpse in the room above. There was a tray of coffee things but the cups were disgusting, and the spoon was stuck to the tray. The bathroom, faintly illuminated by a distant light activated by a length of string, had curling floor tiles and years of accumulated dirt packed into every corner. I peered at the yellowy tile around the bath and sink and realized what the landlord did with his phlegm. A bath was out of the question, so I threw some cold water on my face, dried it with a towel that had the texture of shredded wheat, and gladly took my leave.

A. The VLT (Very Large Telescope) is the world’s largest telescope and it is taking scientists further back to the Big Bang than they ever thought possible. In other words, the VLT is a kind of a time machine, giving astronomers detailed views of events that took place in the earliest days of the cosmos. One day, we will have a much clearer picture of how our planet was born.
B. The latest development in the debate amongst scientists about what killed the prehistoric dinosaurs is the suggestion that acid rain was the cause. Some geologists suggest that a large meteor hitting the earth at 65 kilometres per second would have led to strongly acidic rain falling all over the world. This idea is fascinating but it would mean the dinosaurs would all have died within a very short time.
C. In 1948, a British farmer discovered an interesting lump of metal while ploughing his field. At first he thought the metal bits were parts of an old bed. Then more ‘parts of old beds’ turned up and the farmer took them to the local museum. ‘But these bits are priceless!’ exclaimed the keeper of the museum. ‘They are Iron Age jewellery and coins!’ Over the next 40 years, more and more items were found in the same field.
D. Rats may have had a bit of a hard time over the years but these days lots of people are forgetting about guinea-pigs and hamsters and are buying rats instead. Domestic rats aren’t the same as the ones that run around rubbish bins — they’re actually quite cute. They are very intelligent and can be trained like dogs. They come in different colours and — a big bonus — they will eat anything!
E. In Western cultures, people look each other in the eye during a conversation to show interest and trust, but in many Asian countries, it’s rude to look people in the eye, especially a superior such as a teacher. One of the most basic and powerful signals is when a person crosses his or her arms across the chest. This can indicate that a person is putting up an unconscious barrier between themselves and others.
F. Earthquakes happen all the time in all parts of the world but we don’t notice most of them because they are small. However, big earthquakes are really dangerous. They can make buildings fall down, set off landslides and do other deadly things. The highest death toll caused by an earthquake was in China in 1556, when at least 830,000 people died.
G. According to scientists, Americans watch more TV on average than any other nationality. In fact, many people, particularly children, sit for 35 hours or more per week glued to the box. What’s wrong with watching all that TV? Studies have linked it to everything from obesity to aggression in children not to mention that it puts your mind into a sort of sedated state. Habitual television watching, over long periods of time, has been known to cause depression, and anger.

Publishers can submit books for consideration for the prize, but the judges can also ask for books to be submitted B ____________. Firstly, the Advisory Committee gives advice if there have been any changes to the rules for the prize. Then it selects the people C ____________.

Great efforts are made to ensure that the judging panel is balanced in terms of gender and professions within the industry. A writer, a critic, an editor and an academic are chosen along with a well-known person from wider society. However, when the panel of judges has been finalized, they are left to make their own decisions D ____________. The Man Booker judges include critics, writers and academics E ____________.

‘Have you written a letter to the Froplinsons?’ asked Egbert.
‘No,’ said Janetta, with a note of tired defiance in her voice; ‘I’ve written eleven letters today expressing surprise and gratitude for sundry unmerited gifts, but I haven’t written to the Froplinsons yet.’
‘Someone will have to do it,’ said Egbert.
‘I don’t dispute the necessity, but I don’t think that someone should be me,’ said Janetta. ‘I wouldn’t mind writing a letter of angry recrimination or heartless satire to some suitable recipient. In fact, I should rather enjoy it, but I’ve come to the end of my capacity for expressing servile amiability. Eleven letters today and nine yesterday, all couched in the same strain of ecstatic thankfulness: really, you can’t expect me to sit down to another. There is such a thing as writing oneself out.’
‘I’ve written nearly as many,’ said Egbert, ‘and I’ve had my usual business correspondence to get through, too. Besides, I don’t know what it was that the Froplinsons sent us.’ ‘A William the Conqueror calendar,’ said Janetta, ‘with a quotation of one of his great thoughts for every day in the year.’
‘Impossible,’ said Egbert; ‘he didn’t have three hundred and sixty-five thoughts in the whole of his life, or, if he did, he kept them to himself.’
‘Well, it was William Wordsworth, then,’ said Janetta; ‘I know William came into it somewhere.’
‘That sounds more probable,’ said Egbert; ‘well, let’s collaborate on this letter and get it done. I’ll dictate, and you can scribble it down. ‘Dear Mrs. Froplinson, thank you and your husband so much for the very pretty calendar you sent us. It was very good of you to think of us.’ ’
‘You can’t possibly say that,’ said Janetta, laying down her pen. ‘We sent them something on the twenty-second,’ said Janetta, ‘so they simply had to think of us. There was no getting away from it.’
‘What did we send them?’ asked Egbert gloomily.
‘Bridge-markers,’ said Janetta, ‘in a cardboard case, with some inanity about ‘digging for fortune with a royal spade’ emblazoned on the cover. The moment I saw it in the shop I said to myself ‘Froplinsons’ and to the attendant ‘How much?’ When he said ‘Ninepence,’ I gave him their address, jabbed our card in, paid tenpence or elevenpence to cover the postage, and thanked heaven. With less sincerity and infinitely more trouble they eventually thanked me.’
‘The Froplinsons don’t play bridge,’ said Egbert.
‘One is not supposed to notice social deformities of that sort,’ said Janetta; ‘it wouldn’t be polite. Besides, what trouble did they take to find out whether we read Wordsworth with gladness? For all they knew or cared we might be frantically embedded in the belief that all poetry begins and ends with John Masefield, and it might infuriate or depress us to have a daily sample of Wordsworthian products flung at us.’
‘Well, let’s get on with the letter,’ said Egbert. ‘How clever of you to guess that Wordsworth is our favourite poet.’
Again Janetta laid down her pen.
‘Do you realise what that means?’ she asked; ‘a Wordsworth booklet next Christmas, and another calendar the Christmas after, with the same problem of having to write suitable letters of thankfulness. No, the best thing to do is to drop all further allusion to the calendar and switch off on to some other topic.’
‘But what other topic?’
‘Oh, something like this: ‘What do you think of the New Year Honours List? A friend of ours made such a clever remark when he read it.’ Then you can stick in any remark that comes into your head; it needn’t be clever. The Froplinsons won’t know whether it is or isn’t.’
‘We don’t even know on which side they are in politics,’ objected Egbert; ‘and anyhow you can’t suddenly dismiss the subject of the calendar. Surely there must be some intelligent remark that can be made about it.’
‘Well, we can’t think of one,’ said Janetta wearily; ‘the fact is, we’ve both written ourselves out.’
There was a long silence, the forlorn silence of those who are bereft of hope and have almost ceased to care. Then Egbert started from his seat with an air of resolution. The light of battle was in his eyes.
‘Let me come to the writing-table,’ he exclaimed; ‘I’m going to write to the editor of every enlightened and influential newspaper in the Kingdom, I’m going to suggest that there should be a sort of epistolary Truce of God during the festivities of Christmas and New Year. From the twenty-fourth of December to the third or fourth of January it shall be considered an offence against good sense and good feeling to write or expect any letter or communication that does not deal with the necessary events of the moment. Answers to invitations, arrangements about trains, renewal of club subscriptions, and, of course, all the ordinary everyday affairs of business, sickness, engaging new cooks, and so forth, these will be dealt with in the usual manner as something inevitable. But all the devastating accretions of correspondence, incident to the festive season, these should be swept away to give the season a chance of being really festive.’
‘But you would have to make some acknowledgment of presents received,’ objected Janetta; ‘otherwise people would never know whether they had arrived safely.’
‘Of course, I have thought of that,’ said Egbert; ‘every present that was sent off would be accompanied by a ticket bearing the date of dispatch and the signature of the sender, and some conventional hieroglyphic to show that it was intended to be a Christmas or New Year gift; there would be a counterfoil with space for the recipient’s name and the date of arrival, and all you would have to do would be to sign and date the counterfoil, add a conventional hieroglyphic indicating heartfelt thanks and gratified surprise, put the thing into an envelope and post it.’
‘It sounds delightfully simple,’ said Janetta wistfully, ‘but people would consider it too perfunctory.’
‘It is not a bit more perfunctory than the present system,’ said Egbert; ‘I have only the same conventional language of gratitude at my disposal with which to thank dear old Colonel Chuttle for his perfectly delicious Stilton, which we shall devour to the last morsel, and the Froplinsons for their calendar, which we shall never look at. So you see the present system of acknowledgment is just as perfunctory and conventional as the counterfoil business would be, only ten times more tiresome and brain-racking.’
‘Your plan would certainly bring the idea of a Happy Christmas a step nearer realisation,’ said Janetta. ‘Meanwhile, what am I to say to the Froplinsons?’
(Adapted from ‘Down Pens’ by H. H. Munro)

Одно из заданий ЕГЭ по английскому предполагает умение задавать прямые вопросы, опираясь на ключевые слова и фразы. Здесь приводим готовые образцы вопросов на основе открытой базы заданий Федерального института педагогических измерений (Фипи).
Кратко о задании на прямые вопросы.
В этом типе заданий вам предлагается какая-либо ситуация (вы собираетесь записаться в танцевальную школу или на языковые курсы; вам предстоит путешествие за границу; вы намереваетесь приобрести какой-либо товар и т.п.). В данной ситуации вам хотелось бы прояснить для себя несколько вопросов и получить дополнительную информацию. И вот вы, якобы, звоните в интересующую вас компанию и задаете им вопросы.
В задании вам предложены пять ключевых слов или фраз (с 2022 г. – 4 ключевых слова или фразы), на основе которых вы и должны задать вопросы. Если, к примеру, вы видите слово price, то вопрос должен быть о цене товара или услуги. Если же вам встретилось слово location, то вы должны задать вопрос о местонахождении компании.
Запомните: вопросы должны быть адекватны ситуации. Так, если вы, якобы, звоните в цветочный магазин и узнаете его местонахождение, то не надо выпаливать Where are you located? Вы интересуетесь местонахождением конкретного сотрудника магазина, который вам ответил, или самого магазина? Вопрос должен быть однозначен и понятен: Where is your flower shop located?

Повторим, как образуются прямые вопросы. Что такое прямой вопрос? В прямых вопросов порядок слов такой же, как в обычном предложении, но только перед подлежащим нужно поставить вспомогательный глагол. В английском языке существуют пять типов вопросов: общий, к подлежащему, специальный, альтернативный и разделительный.
1. Общий вопрос
Он строится ко всему предложению и требует ответа «да» или «нет». Схема построения вопроса такова:
Например: Do you live in Russia? – Yes, I do. / No, I don’t
2. Вопрос к подлежащему
В вопросе к подлежащему вместо подлежащего ставится вопросительное слово «кто» — WHO, если речь идет о живых людях и «что» — WHAT, если речь идет о неодушевленных предметах. Схема построения такого вопроса:
Помни, что в вопросе к подлежащему нельзя ставить do, does и did.
Например:
Who are you talking to?
What can help you?
3. Специальный вопрос.
Этот тип вопроса требует точного ответа. Здесь используются такие вопросительные слова, как
When – когда; where – где, куда, откуда; why – почему; how – как; what colour – какого цвета; how much, how many – сколько; how far — как далеко; how long – как долго и т.д.
Схема построения вопроса такова: (все вопросительные слова обозначим Wh)
Например:
When does the museum open?
What colour is your car?
How long have you know your friend?
4. Альтернативный вопрос – вопрос выбора.
Он строится точно также как общий вопрос, но к любому члену предложения можно добавить выбор с помощью союза “or”.
Схема вопроса: (на примере альтернативы к подлежащему)

Точно также можно построить альтернативный вопрос к любому члену предложения. Например, к дополнению:
Does he speak English or Spanish?
5. Разделительный вопрос (не так ли)
Он строится по такой схеме:
Например,
Mary drives her car to work, doesn’t she?
Помни! Вопрос должен звучать не только грамматически правильно, но и разумно.
Самые легкие для составления вопросы те, что начинаются с if. Это значит, что надо задать общий вопрос. Не забывай про интонацию в вопросах. Она должна повышаться в общем вопросе и понижаться в специальном.

Variant 10
Task 1. Read the text aloud.
Since ancient times, humans have loved and cherished cats as their pets. Today more than 80 million cats reside in US homes, with an estimated three cats for every dog on the planet. Yet there is still a lot we don’t know about our feline friends — including what they think of their owners.
After observing pet cats for several years, scientists have come to an intriguing conclusion: cats don’t really understand people the way dogs do. They tend to feel it is they who own masters, not vice versa. On the contrary, dogs perceive people as being very different from themselves. As soon as they see a human, they change their behaviour. The way a dog plays with a human is completely different from the way it plays with a dog. Cats are independent creatures and they can easily change their owner without changing their habits.

Variant 9
Task 1.
Read the text aloud.
Canada’s original inhabitants are Indians. The very name Canada comes from a word meaning «village» in one of the local languages of Indian tribes. These tribes lived on the territory of modern Canada before the first Europeans arrived in the 11th century. They soon left, but more Europeans came in the 16th century and were made welcome because they brought manufactured goods and traded them for furs and other native products. However, the Europeans settled down and gradually displaced Indians over the next 250 years.
European settlers came in a series of waves. First were the French, followed by the English, and these two groups are considered the founding nations. France lost its part of territory to Britain in a war in 1760, but most of the French-speaking colonists remained. Their effort to preserve their language and culture is still an issue of Canadian history and has led in recent years to a movement to become independent from the rest of Canada.

Japan is an island nation in East Asia, located in the North Pacific Ocean off the coast of the Asian continent. Japan comprises the four main islands in addition to numerous smaller islands. Tokyo is the country’s capital and largest city.
Mountains dominate Japan’s landscape, covering 75 to 80 percent of the country. Historically, the mountains were barriers to transportation, limiting the economic development of isolated areas. However, with the development of tunnels, bridges, and air transportation in the modern era, the mountains are no longer an obstacle. The Japanese have long celebrated the beauty of their mountains in art and literature, and today many mountain areas are preserved in national parks.
Most of Japan’s people live on plains and lowlands found mainly along the lower courses of the country’s major rivers, on the lowest slopes of mountain ranges, and along the sea coast. This concentration of people makes Japan one of the world’s most crowded countries.
Practise reading the words:
1. Tokyo |ˈtəʊkɪəʊ| - Токио (столица Японии)
2. numerous |ˈnjuːm(ə)rəs| многочисленный, многие, множественный
3. dominate |ˈdɒmɪneɪt| доминировать, преобладать, господствовать

The first maps were drawn by explorers to help them find their way home and show people where they had been. The maps showed the shape of the land, distances between places and special features such as caves and old trees. Nowadays, maps show the towns and villages, and the roads, railways, rivers and mountains. Symbols are used to show all the different things on a map and there is a key to explain what the symbols stand for.
Over the centuries, people explored most of the Earth and put together the map of the world we use today. Maps of the world or large areas are often either “political” or “physical”. The political map shows territorial borders. The purpose of the physical map is to show features of geography such as mountains, soil type or land use including roads, railroads and buildings.

As soon as spring brings a new growth of bushes and berries, bears start feeding. They eat and eat. All through the spring and summer their feeding goes on. The bears build themselves up. They store food and fats that they will need in the fall when they start their long sleep.
As days grow shorter, and the temperature begins to fall, bears hunt for a sleeping place. It may be a shallow cave, or a deep crack between rocks. Some bears end up sleeping in hollow logs. Logs seem to be bears’ favourite places. Bears seem to choose small spaces. They can keep warmer in a cave that’s just large enough to hold them than in a larger cave. They often line their sleeping place with leaves and dried grass.
All through their winter naps, bears will not eat. Often they will sleep for 7 months, moving only now and then.

A
female chimp has learned how to use the Arabic numerals, 1 to 9, to
memorise the order of five numbers. She, unlike males, was able to
remember the sequence of at least five numbers. This is the same or
even more than pre-school children can do. It comes as no surprise to
scientists who discover something else that chimpanzees can do every
year, bringing them closer to us. People can normally remember a
sevendigit number at first sight. This is our brain’s “magic
number”. A chimp’s brain is only half the size of ours. Yet, they
remember five digits. In an experiment, a chimp was shown five
numbers on a computer screen. Her task was then to touch each number
in the correct order. In order to perform the task successfully, she
had to memorise all the numbers. And she did. She got the fourth
number correct 90 % of the time, and the fifth number correct 65 % of
the time.

Medicine
has existed for thousands of years. At first, medicine was rather an
art than science. It was little based on skills and knowledge but,
instead, it had connections to the religious beliefs. At the early
stages of medicine, doctors relied on religious rituals in the same
way as on medication. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs
and say prayers for healing. The first physicians thought that
bloodletting was the best treatment of all. In recent centuries,
since the advent of science, most medicine has become a combination
of art and science. Much depends on the talent of the doctor and on
the efficiency of drugs and surgery. Nowadays, we come to understand
more and more about our body and to know what is going on inside the
cells. Also, genetic engineering opens up new perspectives for
treating inherited diseases. And, of course, new medical technologies
have already saved millions of lives.
