II. Переведите предложения, содержащие косвенные вопросы, пассивные конструкции, инфинитивные формы: 1) The question whether the atom can or cannot be split up is known to have interested scientists from ancient times. 2) The intention of the present work was to see whether a detailed study of a range of alloys would reveal any regularities of behaviour. 3) Chemical methods of purifying water are given much attention to by our scientists. 4) The use of metals is affected by the available ore resources, the cost of extraction and refining, and the way in which they can be employed to practical advantage. 5) It is not possible to obtain as high thermal efficiencies when furnaces are fired with raw coal as with other means of firing, but these matters will not be dealt with here. 18 6) Retardation may be looked upon as negative acceleration. 7) When a concentrated clay suspension is allowed to settle, the clay will occupy a volume, which is different from the original volume of clay. 8) There are many methods available for the measurement of magnetics susceptibility. The choice of a method depends on the problem to be solved. 9) There are crystals in which there appears to be two types of interatomic attraction acting at the same time. 10) Metals known to exist in more than one crystallographic forms are cobalt, cerium, tin, manganese, chromium, and thallium. 11) We might synthesize water by allowing hydrogen and oxygen to combine, which they do very readily. 12) X-rays have been of tremendous assistance to the engineer in enabling him to work by knowledge instead of by rule of thumb. 13) Some mistakes must have been made in assembling the parts of the machine. Chalk is made of the shells of little animals. They must have been tiny things, for you can only see the shells with a very strong glass.

III. Заполните смысловые пропуски в тексте следующими словами: building, pump, valve, absorb, fluid, pressure, expansion, evaporator, condenser, heated. HEAT PUMPS A heat pump is an electrical device that pumps heat from one place to another. During cold weather, it extracts heat from the outside air, and transfers it into the (1) __________. During hot weather, the heat (2) __________ reverses this operation, and transfers heat from inside the building to the outside. The machine is based on the two principles of the refrigeration cycle: (1) when a gas is compressed, it condenses, and gives out heat, and (2) when a liquid is expanded, it evaporates, and absorbs (or takes in) heat. The main parts of a heat pump are a compressor, an expansion valve, two fans, a reversing (3) __________ and two sets of coils, one on the outside and the other on the inside of the building. The coils are thin pipes which are bent in a U-shape many times, they can (4) __________ and give out heat. The compressor pumps a special fluid called a refrigerant around the coils. The refrigerant is under high (5) __________ as it flows from the compressor to the condenser. As the (6) __________ passes around the condenser coils, it gives out heat to the surrounding air. The fluid then passes through the (7) __________ valve. Here the pressure is suddenly reduced and the fluid expands. This makes it evaporate. As the fluid passes around the evaporator coils, it absorbs heat from the surrounding air, making it cold. Then the fluid flows back to the compressor. 19 HEATING OPERATION In cold weather, the outside coil acts as the (8) __________ and the inside coil acts as the (9) __________. The fluid in the evaporator is under low pressure, and so it evaporates. The fan pulls the outside air over the evaporator and the fluid absorbs heat from it. The compressor then pumps the heated fluid into the building under high pressure to the condenser. The second fan blows air over the condenser, and the (10) __________ air is blown into the building.

IV. Трансформируйте диалог, согласно образцу на с. 8: DIALOGUE [L. = Lisa; C. = caller] L.: Technical support, Lisa here. What’s the problem? C.: Hi, Lisa. Bill here. I’ve set up a wireless router in the next room to my computer. But I can’t get a connection between the router and the computer. L.: Aha. How far is the router from the computer? C.: It’s only about eight metres away. L.: Well, another electronic device could be interfering with the connection. C.: What kind of device? L.: It could be a cordless phone, a microwave oven, anything really. Do you have a cordless phone? C.: Yes, I’ll check it now. Thanks.
