Cегодня мы подготовили для вас новую статью «Mexico City ЕГЭ: детальный разбор и ответы». В ней мы уже по традиции рассказываем об особенностях выполнения каждого задания и делимся лайфхаками.
Скорее читайте, берите на заметку и делитесь со своими друзьями!
Для начала посмотрим на сам текст «Mexico City ЕГЭ», который представлен на сайте ФИПИ.
A32. В данном задании правильным будет make headquarters – сделать штаб-квартирой, превратить в штаб-квартиру, только в форме Past Simple made headquarters.
The hotels were full but, fortunately, Kevin owned a country house just outside the city which we 32 ______ our headquarters.
- did
- made
- kept
- used
Ответ: made
А33. Подобные задания мы уже разбирали, поэтому совсем кратко обоснуем выбор глагола say в качестве правильного ответа.
I must 33 ______ that when Kevin decided to move he moved fast.
- speak
- talk
- say
- tell
Здесь нет прямого дополнения, свойственного для tell: tell smb. Нет и предложного дополнения to, которое характерно для speak и talk. А вот say не требует всего этого.
Более подробно о разнице между say, tell, speak, talk мы писали здесь. Также мы подготовили тест на эту тему. Обязательно потренируйтесь!
Ответ: say
А34. Чтобы правильно выполнить это задание, необходимо посмотреть на слово после пропуска, где мы видим предлог in, который всегда сопровождает глагол succeed.
Like a good general, he marshalled his army close to the point of impact; he spent a small fortune on telephone calls and 34 ______ in getting all we needed for the expedition in the shortest time possible.
- managed
- achieved
- fulfilled
- succeeded
Об особенностях синонимичных глаголов manage, achieve, fulfill, succeed вы можете прочесть здесь. И, как обычно, мы подготовили для вас тест, чтобы вы могли потренироваться.
Ответ: succeeded
А35. Давайте разбираться во фразовых глаголах.
My job was a good one and I hated to give it 35 ______ unceremoniously, but Kevin was pushing hard.
- to
- on
- in
- up
give to – разрешить кому-то сделать что-то
give in – сдавать (например, письменную работу), уступать, сдаваться
give up – отказываться, бросать (о занятии, привычке)
My job was a good one and I hated to give it up unceremoniously, but Kevin was pushing hard. — Мне нравилась моя работа, и я не хотел просто так от нее отказываться, но Кевин упорно настаивал на этом.
Ответ: up
А36. Еще одно задание на популярный синонимичный ряд: see, look, watch, glance. Более подробно о них вы найдете здесь. Также вы можете потренироваться в их использовании и выполнить тест.
I 36 ______ my boss and he was good enough to give me six months’ leave of absence.
- looked
- glanced
- saw
- watched
Прежде всего посмотрим на слова после пропуска. Там мы видим беспредложное дополнение my boss. Следовательно, глаголы look и glance отпадают, так как после них должен стоять предлог at. Остаются watch и see. Первый глагол обычно используется применительно к TV, a film, a match, поэтому тоже исключаем его. Остается see.
Ответ: see
A37. Снова задание на фразовые глаголы с первым компонентом look. Давайте посмотрим, что они означают.
Yet I think that going to Yucatan could be understood as looking 37 ______ my father’s estate.
- down
- after
- into
- back
look down — опустить взгляд (look down on smb – смотреть свысока на кого-либо)
look after — присматривать, ухаживать, следить за
look into — заглянуть в , разобраться с чем-то
look back — оглядываться, вспоминать прошлое
Yet I think that going to Yucatan could be understood as looking after my father’s estate. — Тем не менее, я думаю, что поездка на Юкатан может рассматриваться как присмотр за отцовским поместьем.
Ответ: after
A38. Переведем все четыре глагола и подставим в предложение с пропуском.
Will I 38 ______ it in the future?
- appologize
- regret
- disappoint
- dissatisfy
apologize for smth — просить прощения за что-то
regret — сожалеть
disappoint — разочаровать
dissatisfy — не устраивать
Сразу убираем apologize, так как он требует предлога for, которого в имеющемся предложении нет. Disappoint и dissatisfy не подходят по смыслу. Остается только regret.
Will I regret it in the future? — Буду ли я сожалеть об этом в будущем?
Ответ: regret

Yet I think that going to Yucatan could be understood as looking 35 ______ my father’s estate.
Kevin also used resources that only money can buy. The thought of it made me a bit dizzy. Kevin was able to lift a telephone and set a private police force in motion. It made me open my eyes and think again. There was something about Kevin that got at me. Whatever it was, I preferred to keep it bottled up. Will I 36 ______ it in the future?

done. He just had to 36 ______ the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he 37 ______ to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be constructed.

| 4 | A built-in charger |
| 5 | Key under your skin |
| 6 | Big brother is watching you |
| 7 | Disadvantages of tech |
| 8 | Phone always on you |
| A | Sure, we’re virtually connected to our phones 24/7 now, but what if we could be literally plugged in to our phones? That’s already starting to happen. Last year, for instance, artist Anthony Antonellis had a chip put in his arm that could store and transfer data to his handheld smartphone. And researchers are already experimenting with sensors that turn human bone into living speakers. |
| B | In the future patients will be able to use implantable technologies to diagnose and even treat diseases. Scientists in London are developing swallowable capsule-sized chip that will control fat levels in obese patients and generate genetic material that makes them feel “full”. It has potential as an alternative to surgery to handle obesity. Also it can monitor blood-sugar levels for diabetics. |
| C | The U.S. military has programs to identify any person using face scanning device. Some people see it as a doubtless advantage: improved crime fighting, secure elections and never a lost child again. However, such technologies can hammer against social norms and raise privacy issues. And one day there might be a computer to see all, know all and control all. |
| D | One of the challenges for implantable tech is delivering power to devices which are inside human bodies. You can’t plug them in as you do with your phone or computer. You can’t easily take them out to replace a battery. A team in Cambridge is working on specific bio batteries that can generate power inside the body, transfer it wirelessly where needed, and then simply melt away. |
| E | Soon tattoos will not only make you look cool but will be able to perform useful tasks, like opening your car or entering smartphone codes with a fingerpoint. Researchers have made an implantable skin fibers thinner than a human hair. Scientists are working on the chip that can be put inside a finger through a tattoo-like process, letting you unlock things or enter codes simply by pointing. |
| F | The British research team is developing pills with microprocessors in them that can text to hospitals directly from inside your body. The pills can share inside info to help doctors know if you are taking your medication properly and if it is having the desired effect. Moreover, in case of emergency, it can send a signal to the computer and the ambulance will come straight away. |
| G | Lately touchscreens are everywhere – from computers, phones, tablets to car systems and vending machines. Even doorbells now include touch screen controls. One has to wonder: are we moving to a world of only touchscreen devices? And the answer is probably yes. We are coming to an age where every flat or even curved surface could be made a touchscreen and we can operate from it. |

Driverless cars
Driverless cars are expected to be rolling into the streets within the next 20
years. In fact, they’ve legally been on the roads for the past years, approved for
testing purposes. It is predicted that driverless vehicles will be commercially
available at a high cost within 7 years, but it may take another 8 years for prices to
drop enough to spur mass consumption.
Today, the discussions focus primarily on the shifting of accident liability to
manufacturers and all the goodness that comes along with reducing accidents. A
truly driverless road would not be accident-free as there would still be a number of
accidents caused by mechanical or computer errors, weather conditions,
pedestrians and sheer random chance. But it would make the now-routine loss of
life on the roads far rarer.
The concept of a “driver” will be replaced with that of an “operator”, who
simply programs the vehicle’s GPS to arrive at the desired destination and pushes
the “Start” button to begin the trip. Since judgment will no longer be required of
the operator, they won’t need a driver’s license. Theoretically, a 10-year-old child
could independently take the car to school in the morning.
Computer-operated cars will eventually reshape the car design as things like
windshields will become less necessary. Drivers will be able to sit wherever they’d
like in their cars. There will be no need for gas and brake pedals as speed will be
automatically controlled by the computer. The steering wheel and the turn signal
arm can also be eliminated once the public gets used to reliability of these vehicles.
Each passenger will have a personal video display informing about a current
location, the distance to your destination, speed and personal entertainment
selections. The concept of ‘distracted driving’ will disappear as there will be no
reason to pay attention to where you are going.
Vehicle owners will no longer buy collision insurance since manufacturers
will be solely responsible for damage. Owners will only need theft insurance and
coverage for hail, falling objects or floods. To take this one step further, personal
vehicle ownership may dramatically diminish. Car dealers will have lots full of
vehicles for hire on a daily or hourly basis instead of vehicles for sale. When you
need a car, you’ll summon one using your mobile phone. The closest unmanned
vehicle will be dispatched to your home to take you where you need to go. When
done, you’ll simply push the button for the unmanned vehicle to drive itself back
to the rental lot.
The social and cultural impact of driverless cars could cause far more
upheaval than any of us could imagine. Perhaps, it would be even greater than the
impact the Internet had on commerce and communication. Obviously, the picture
being painted is the one that assumes total adoption, which is far from realistic. You will always have transitional delays caused by the lack of free cars, the
longevity of today’s vehicles and cultural resistance.
This resembles the historical factors that affected the transition from horse to
the automobile. At the moment, the driverless car seems like a novelty. However,
it will open up new prospects. The prospect of flying cars may soon become a
reality. With computer-controlled vehicles that strictly follow traffic rules, three-dimensional
roads become far less scary and more a matter of simply solving the
technological challenge.
Where we’re going, we may not need roads at all.
