КОНТРОЛЬНАЯ РАБОТА Вариант 1 Задание 1. Письменно переведите текст на русский язык. Составьте словарь по прочитанному. London: a brief history London has nearly 2,000 years of recorded history. It was founded, as Londinium, by the Romans, following their invasion in A.D. 43. They built the first, wooden, bridge and, in A.D. 120, began the construction of the defensive walls, fragments of which can still be seen today. The Romans left in the 5th century and the city was largely abandoned, though by the 8th century it was again a busy trading centre, and in the 11th century it became the capital of England. Edward the Confessor built a palace and abbey at Westminster, thus creating the twin centers which still exist today, the government being based at Westminster while the City, which developed largely within the old walls, is the commercial and financial centre. The Norman period saw the construction of the Tower, old St. Paul’s Cathedral and many churches and monasteries, as well as the first stonebridge over the Thames. Medieval London grew in importance as a trading centre and in 1215, with the sealing by King John of Magna Carta, its citizens won the right to elect their own leader, or Lord Mayor. Rapid growth during the Tudor and Stuart periods led to new building outside the walls in areas such as Lincoln’s Inn and Covent Garden. The Great Fire of 1666 destroyed three-quarters of the City and, although the rebuilding followed the Medieval street plan, the old timer houses were replaced by buildings of brick in order to reduce any future fire risk. Sir Christopher Wren rebuilt St. Paul’s Cathedral and designed 51 new churches, of which 23 still stand. In the 18th century new wealth created by trade and investment led to further expansion into areas such as Mayfair, though the poor continued to live in appalling conditions. During the 19th century London spread rapidly into the suburbs, swallowing up villages and countryside, and new forms of transport were developed, such as buses and railways, including the underground railway system. Britain was then at the height of her Imperial powers, and this confidence is expressed in buildings such as the Houses of Parliament and St. Pancras Station. Large areas of London were destroyed by bombs during the Second World War and the rebuilding that followed was of mixed quality. Like all great cities, London refuses to stand still and new, often controversial, buildings continue to appear alongside the heritage of past centuries, mirroring the way the needs of the modern city co-exist with the traditions and pageantry of the past. История Лондона насчитывает почти 2000 лет. Он был основан как Лондиниумримлянами после их вторжения в 43 г. н. э. Они построили первый деревянный мост, а в 120 г. н. э. начали строительство оборонительных стен, фрагменты которых можно увидеть и сегодня. Римляне уехали в 5 веке, и город был в основном заброшен, хотя к 8 веку он снова стал оживленным торговым центром, а в 11 веке стал столицей Англии. Эдуард Исповедник построил дворец и аббатство в Вестминстере, создав таким образом центры-близнецы, которые существуют и по сей день, правительство базируется в Вестминстере, в то время как город, который развивался в основном в старых стенах, является коммерческим и финансовым центром. В нормандский период были построены башня, старый собор Святого Павла и множество церквей и монастырей, а также первый Каменный мост через Темзу. Средневековый Лондон приобрел значение торгового центра, и в 1215 году, с подписанием королем Джоном Великой Хартии вольностей, его граждане получили право избирать своего собственного лидера, или лорда-мэра. Быстрый рост в эпоху Тюдоров и Стюартов привел к появлению новых зданий за пределами стен в таких районах, как Линкольнс-Инн и Ковент-Гарден. Великий пожар 1666 года уничтожил три четверти города, и, хотя реконструкция велась в соответствии со средневековым планом улиц, старые деревянные дома были заменены зданиями из кирпича, чтобы снизить риск возникновения пожара в будущем. Сэр Кристофер Рен перестроил собор Святого Павла и спроектировал 51 новую церковь, из которых 23 сохранились до сих пор. В 18 веке новое богатство, созданное торговлей и инвестициями, привело к дальнейшей экспансии в такие районы, как Мейфэр, хотя бедные продолжали жить в ужасающих условиях. В течение 19 века Лондон быстро распространился на пригороды, поглотив деревни и сельскую местность, и были разработаны новые виды транспорта, такие как автобусы и железные дороги, включая систему метро. В то время Британия находилась в расцвете своих имперских сил, и эта уверенность выражается в таких зданиях, как Здание парламента и вокзал Сент-Панкрас. Большие районы Лондона были разрушены бомбами во время Второй мировой войны, и последовавшее за этим восстановление было неоднозначного качества. Как и все великие города, Лондон отказывается стоять на месте, и новые, часто противоречивые здания продолжают появляться наряду с наследием прошлых веков, отражая то, как потребности современного города сосуществуют с традициями и зрелищностью. Covent Garden – театр Ковент Гарден; Mayfair – район Лондона; pageantry – пышное зрелище. abandon – покидать abbey – аббатство appear – появляться brick – кирпич defensive – защитный, оборонительный destroy – разрушать exist – существовать inn – таверна lead to – приводить к medieval – средневековый outside – снаружи; внешний palace – дворец reduce – сокращать; снижать suburb – пригород timber – лесоматериалы twin – близнец underground – подземный wooden – деревянный Задание 2.
