Unit 1 Grammar Revision: Modal verbs Text A: Nature and Importance of Plants Text B: Life is impossible without plants Модальные глаголы (Modal verbs) Глаголы can (could), may (might), must, ought, need относятся к группе так называемых модальных глаголов (Modal Verbs). Модальные глаголы не употребляются самостоятельно, а только в сочетании с инфинитивом смыслового глагола. Они обозначают возможность, способность, вероятность, необходимость совершения действия, выраженного смысловым глаголом. Модальные глаголы в сочетании с инфинитивом смыслового глагола употребляются в предложении в роли составного глагольного сказуемого: Не can do it himself. Он может это сделать сам.They may come tonight. Они, может быть, придут сегодня вечером. Модальные глаголы не выражают конкретных процессов (действий), а показывают лишь отношение говорящего к действию, оценку действия, т. е. возможность, необходимость, предположительность, долженствование, разрешение и т. д. Модальные глаголы являются недостаточными глаголами (Defective Verbs), так как они не имеют всех форм, какие есть у других глаголов. Глаголы сап и may имеют формы настоящего и прошедшего времени: can – could, may – might, глаголы must, ought и need – только форму настоящего времени. Модальные глаголы имеют ряд формальных отличительных особенностей. Сочетание модального глагола с неперфектным инфинитивом относит действие к настоящему или будущему времени либо свидетельствует о его одновременности с моментом речи, и, напротив, сочетание с перфектным инфинитивом либо относит действие к прошлому, либо выражает предшествование действия относительно момента речи: I could do it. Я мог бы сделать это (в настоящем или будущем). I could have done it. Я мог бы сделать это(но уже не сделал). Отрицательная форма образуется при помощи частицы not, которая ставится непосредственно после модального глагола, в результате чего значение меняется на противоположное: must должен– must notне должен. В настоящем времени can пишется слитно с not: He cannot do it. You may not take it. He must not go there. В разговорной речи в отрицательной форме обычно употребляются следующие сокращения: cannot – can't, could not – couldn't, may not – mayn't, might not –mightn't, must not – mustn't, ought not – oughtn't, need not – needn’t. В вопросительных предложениях модальный глагол стоит на первом месте либо сразу после вспомогательного слова: Who can do it? Кто может сделать это? Основные значения модальных глаголов – необходимость (долженствование), возможность и предположение. Некоторые глаголы имеют формы прошедшего времени: can – could, may – might (иногда называют и will – would, shall – should), тем не менее, все эти формы могут иметь самостоятельные, присущие только им оттенки значения. Вместо недостающих неличных и аналитических форм модальных глаголов используют их эквиваленты: tohave, tobe (=must), tobeable (=can), tobeallowed, tobepermitted (=may). Отличительные свойства модальных глаголов 1. Не имеют окончания -s в 3-м лице единственного числа настоящего времени. He can do it. He may take it. He must go there. Heoughttohelphim. Needhedoit? 2. Не имеют неличных форм (инфинитива, герундия и причастия). 3. Не употребляются как отдельный член предложения – простое глагольное сказуемое, но только в сочетании с еще одним, не модальным, глаголом в форме инфинитива без частицы to (кроме ought и иногда need), образуя составное глагольное сказуемое. I must go there. Ядолженпойтитуда. You needn't do it. Вам не нужно делать этого. Но: You ought to help him. Вам следовало бы помочь ему. 4. Вопросительная и отрицательная формы модальных глаголов образуются без вспомогательного глагола: в вопросительных предложениях модальный глагол ставится перед подлежащим, в отрицательных – после него ставится отрицание not.Can you do it? May I take it? Must he go there? Ought he to help him? Need he do it? He ought not to help him. He need not do it. 5. Не имеют формы прошедшего времени (кроме can – could, may – might) и аналитических форм (будущего времени, продолженного вида, перфектных форм и форм страдательного залога). В случае необходимости вместо отсутствующих форм используются эквиваленты модальных глаголов. 1. Use the modal verbs must (должен), can (могу, умею), may (можно, разрешено), should (следует /совет/), ought to (следует /упрек/) to complete the sentences. There may be more than one possible answer. 1. It’s too far to walk from here to the station.. You ... take a taxi. 2. Sarah got the job because she ... speak five languages. 3. The windows are dirty. I ... clean them. 4. You ... use a dictionary. 5. I like this hotel room. You ... see the lake from the window. 6. It’s a good film. You ... see it. 7. He ... take my book. 8.

Read and translate the text. Nature and Importance of Plants Man has always lived with plants but most of us probably do not realize how important plants are in our daily life and that we are still as dependent upon plants as primitive man was thousands of years ago. All our food and clothing are produced either directly or indirectly by plants. There exist more than 250000 species of plants on the Earth. When grouped together they are known as plant kingdom. As may be expected in so large a number many variable forms exist. Plants vary in size, structure, form, reproduction, in their requirements and their usefulness to man. As to the size, some plants such as bacteria are made up of only one cell and are so small that they can be distinguished only with the aid of a microscope. Others are very large, as for instance, redwood trees growing in California that may be 350 feet high with a diameter of 20 feet at the base. Fungi as well as algae are the lowest forms of plant life. Because of the large number of widely differing forms of plants, it has been necessary to place them into groups according to similarity of parts. The plant forms best known to most people are those that are useful to man. Many of the farm crops are fed by animals which in turn produce valuable food products used by man. Certainly there may be plants the value of which has not been yet discovered. We do not yet know all the uses of plants, but as scientists continue their work many new uses will be found. As farm crops may be used for so many different purposes they were also classified agronomically according to their use rather than according to similarity of parts. 3.

Life is impossible without plants From earliest times plants play an important part in everyday life of man. Plants provide us with food, clothing and many other necessary things. The cultivation of plants is connected with man’s progress. Man’s food and clothing are produced directly or indirectly by plants. Without plant life neither animals nor men will be able to live. There exist very many species of plants. Some of them are grown and cultivated by farmers and are called farm crops. Some plants are used directly by man, some are consumed by animals. The scientists continue their work and we can expect new uses of plants to be found and the value of other plants to be discovered. Great progress has been made in breeding suitable plants and animals that grow best in the given environment. Life is impossible without plants. We breathe with oxygen which comes from plants, we eat the food which also comes from plants. Man began to change plants about 10000 years ago, when he began to grow the first food plants. Plants use sunlight and make their food; they give off oxygen into the air during this process. Many elements make up a plant’s environment. Sunlight, temperature, rain and snow affect the growth of plants. 2. Answer the following questions. 1. What do plants provide man with? 2. What plants are called farm crops? 3. What can we expect from scientists? 4. Is life possible without plants? 5. When did man begin to change plants? 6. What do plants give off into air? 3.

Read and translate the text. Crop Plants and Environment The conditions in which an organism lives are known as environment. All plants require favorable environmental conditions for their better growth and development. Crops that are not well adapted to the region where they are cultivated will not produce high yields. In crop selection climate is the most important environmental factor. The crops which grow best under relatively cool or moderate conditions include wheat, oats, barley, rye, potatoes, sugar beets, red clover, and many grasses. Corn, cotton, sorghum, rice, soybeans do best and differ in the length of the growing season required for the optimum development. A frost-free period less than 125 days is unfavorable for most crops. Another factor influencing the growth of plants is humidity that is why the average annual rainfall is a very essential characteristic of an area. Light is necessary for photosynthesis – the process by which plant food is manufactured. Life processes of many plants are influenced by the relative length of day and night. Long-day plants require long days for their better growth, while short-day plants produce flowers and fruit when the days are short. Most small grains belong to the group of long-day crops, among short-day crops are corn, sorghum, rice, millet and soybeans. There are also crops which are not affected by the length of day, these are cotton, sunflower and buckwheat. Air is an important environmental factor too. It supplies carbon dioxide for plant growth and oxygen for respiration as well as for chemical and biological processes in the soil. 3. Find in the text the following word combinations: окружающая среда, расти лучше всего при прохладных условиях, продолжительность вегетационного периода, среднегодовые осадки, растения длинного дня, растения короткого дня, образовывать цветки и плоды, кислород для дыхания, относительная продолжительность дня и ночи. 4.

Get acquainted with text B and determine the main idea of the text. Plants and Nature Nature has always served to man. But with the development of civilization man's interference in nature began to increase. The pollution of air and the world's ocean, destruction of the ozone layer is the result of man's careless interaction with nature. Environmental protection is a problem of global concern. Plant formations and their environment are natural resources which man always used and uses now. Animals and man will not live without plants because the cycle of nature links them. Plants also play a very important part in conservation and protection of soil, water and animals. Crop plants have not always been productive and useful as they are today. Long ago they were growing wild. As civilization progressed, man began studying plants more carefully. He discovered many of the new functions of plants, their structure and requirements for growth. Soon plant science appeared and great progress in the improvement and growing of plants followed. Compared to the long history of plants on the Earth the plant breeders have improved plants for only short time, but in this short period they have contributed much to agriculture. By selecting the best types, man is able to bring about improvements in a few years that would require thousands of years if left to nature. 2. Answer the following questions. 1. What is the result of man's careless interaction with nature? 2. What is the problem of global concern? 3. What are natural resources which man always used and uses now? 4.
