II. Переведите предложения, содержащие косвенные вопросы, пассивные конструкции, инфинитивные формы: 1) Every student in chemistry learns very quickly to use indicators, particularly litmus, in order to determine whether a solution is acid or basic in reaction. 2) The question arises whether there is any fundamental difference in the kinetics of reactions occurring in condensed media compared to the gaseous state. 3) Atoms of zinc may be looked upon as composed by electrons and zinc ions. 4) The solubility of phosphate in sea water is largely a function of pH, a property which is influenced by bacterial activities. 5) Conditions which affect the plastic behaviour of material will also influence its fracture behaviour since fracturing is normally preceded by plastic deformation. 6) In the chapter on experimental techniques, we are given a good insight into many of the special problems that have to be solved. 7) In gaseous reactions the equilibrium position is largely influenced by pressure. 8) The constant search for materials to replace or supplement scarce metals encourages more attention to this new field. 9) Solar installations have been reported to exist in many countries.

III. Заполните смысловые пропуски в тексте следующими словами: kinetic, acceleration, braking, exhaust, ferrous, efficiency, reducing, ceramics, damage, compounds. GREEN BRAKES – A RED HOT TOPIC IN MOTOR RACING As motor racing goes green, Formula 1 is aiming to lead automotive research in finding hi-tech (1) __________ gains. One of the keys to this ecological drive is regenerative braking (also known as kinetic energy recovery), which recovers energy generated during deceleration, and stores it as a source of power for subsequent (2) __________. Regenerative brakes limit the energy loss inherent in traditional (3)__________ systems. In most vehicles, conventional brakes comprise pads previously made from asbestos based composites, but now consisting of (4) __________ of exotic, non-hazardous materials, and discs made of (5)__________ metal. The resulting friction generates heat, which is wasted, in performance cars, this phenomenon is taken to extremes, and due to the high temperatures generated, brake discs are often made out of (6) __________. The carbon discs and pads used on Formula 1 cars generate so much heat that they glow red hot. High temperatures are, in fact, necessary for the effective operation of carbon brakes. But there’s still plenty of potential for recovering the (7)__________ energy, rather than merely dissipating it in the form of heat. The potential for recovering energy also extends to the heat generated by engines and (8) __________ systems. This area has also been discussed as a possible area for future exploitation in motor racing. Heat recovery might offer the added benefit of (9) __________ heat soak (thermal absorption by the chassis) as delicate alloy parts and sensitive non-metallic materials, such as polymers, are susceptible to heat (10) __________.

IV. Трансформируйте диалог, согласно образцу на с. 8: DIALOGUE [L. = Lisa; C. = caller] L.: Technical support, Lisa here. How can I help? C.: Hi, Lisa. I’m using the internet. When I click on a link, nothing happens. L.: OK, is it a pop-up? 22 C.: I don’t know. It says click here to see photo. But when I click I don’t see the photo. L.: It may be a pop-up. Do you have a firewall? C.: Yes. L.: OK your firewall might be blocking the pop-ups. C.: Right. So what should I do now? L.: I suggest you try unblocking the pop-ups. Open your firewall program. C.: OK, I’ve done that. L.: Does it say block pop-up adverts? C.: Yes. L.: Try unchecking the box. Then clear your cache, refresh your web page and try again. C.: OK, I’ll try that. Thanks, Lisa.
