Содержание

1. Общие положения

Письменная контрольная работа №2 по дисциплине «Ино­странный язык» (английский), выполняемая студентами заочной формы обучения, предусмотрена учебным планом СПбГИЭУ. Данная дисциплина призвана обеспечить современный уровень специалиста, способного владеть иностранным языком для об­щения на бытовую тематику, делового общения и извлечения информации профессионального назначения из зарубежных пе­чатных источников.

Целью выполнения контрольных заданий является самостоятельное приобретение и углубление знаний студентами в области иностранного языка. Кроме того, контрольная работа является одним из видов проверки качества знаний студентов, изучающих данную дисциплину (зачёт, экзамен).

2. Методические указания к изучению дисциплины

Основной целью обучения студентов является практическое владение иностранным языком для социального и профессио­нального общения.

Задачами дисциплины «Иностранный язык», исходя из цели этой дисциплины, является:

· углубление знаний правил о языковом строе изучае­мого языка;

· дальнейшее формирование и совершенствование навы­ков изучающего и просмотрового чтения тек­стов, представляющих профессиональный интерес;

· совершенствование у обучающихся навыков выбороч­ного полного перевода на русский язык эко­номиче­ского текста, представляющего профессио­нальный ин­терес, определения основных положений текста;

· умение общаться на иностранном языке по общеэконо­мической, профессиональной, страновед­ческой тема­тике, а также на бытовые темы (владеть нормативным произношением и ритмом речи);

· развитие навыков написания на иностранном языке от­дельных видов документации, деловой корреспон­денции, отчетов и др.;

· дальнейшее изучение видов и форм деловых контак­тов, этики делового общения;

Студентам заочного обучения особое внимание следует обратить на самостоятельное изучение материала из рекомен­дуемых учебных пособий. Студенты должны стремиться сфор­мировать и развить навык изучающего чтения , предполагающий полное понимание содержания оригинальных текстов по обще­экономической и профессиональной тематике с использованием словаря и навык просмотрового чтения , предполагающий по­нимание общего содержания оригинальных текстов по обще­экономической и профессиональной тематике без использова­ния словаря.

Для дальнейшего развития лексических навыков студентам необходимо регулярно вести рабочий словарь.

Необходимо продолжать работу над закреплением и систематизацией грамматического материала, пройденного на предыдущих этапах обучения.

Для формирования навыков восприятия и понимания об­щего содержания речевых отрезков, произносимых на ино­странном языке в обычном темпе речи (лекций, докладов и др.) по общеэкономической, профессиональной, страноведческой тематике рекомендуется использовать аудио- и видеокурсы анг­лийского языка.

Контрольная работа №2 строится на базе предыдущей работы и требует усвоения основных положений грамматики, синтаксиса, лексики, словообразования и понятия контекста в английском языке.

В данных методических указаниях используется следующий принцип построения вариантов заданий:

Часть 1 – выполнение упражнений на грамматические и лексические аспекты английского языка: подстановочные уп­ражнения и упражнения на преобразование грамматических форм и предложений, упражнения на проверку знаний студен­том стилистически нейтральной наиболее употребительной лек­сики, отражающей раннюю специализацию.

Часть 2 – задания, контролирующие развитие навыков устного контакта (телефонные переговоры как форма деловой коммуникации) и письменного контакта (структура делового письма, оформление письменных документов)

Часть 3 – перевод текста по специальности (объем 2000 печатных знаков) на русский языка с дальнейшими ответами на вопросы по содержанию текста.

Часть 1.

Задание 1.1., 1.2., 1.3, 1.4. Следует четко занести ответы в таблицы. Английский вариант текстов этих заданий в контрольную работу не вносится .

Задание 1.5. Следует четко занести ответы в таблицы. В правой части таблицы необходимо написать исправленное предложение с выделением исправленного фрагмента. Предложение должно быть либо напечатано, либо написано четким, понятным почерком, без исправлений.

Английский вариант текстов этих заданий в контрольную работу не вносится .

Задание 1.6. Должно быть либо напечатано, либо написано четким, понятным почерком, без исправлений.

Часть 2

Задание 2.1. Следует четко занести ответы в таблицы. В контрольную работу вносится весь текст составленного диалога. Ответы должны быть либо напечатаны, либо написаны четким, понятным почерком, без исправлений и выделены подчеркива­нием.

Задание 2.2., 2.3. Следует четко занести ответы в таблицы. Английский вариант текстов этих заданий в контрольную работу не вносится .

Часть 3

Задание 3.1., 3.2. Следует четко занести ответы в таблицу.

Задание 3.3. Перевод текста должен быть выполнен полностью, без сокращений. Возможно приведение нескольких вариантов отдельных фрагментов. Английский вариант текстов этих заданий в контрольную работу не вносится .

К выполнению контрольных заданий надо подходить творчески, особенно к переводу текста. Прежде всего, необходимо ознакомиться с его содержанием и определить общую направленность текста. Затем следует сделать список незнакомых слов, встречающихся в тексте и расположить их в алфавитном порядке, что сэкономит время поиска их русских соответствий в словаре. В качестве третьего этапа целесообразно сконцентрировать внимание на словосочетаниях и грамматических конструкциях, содержащихся в тексте, и – при необходимости – обратится к грамматическим комментариям, находящимся в рекомендуемых учебниках английского языка. После этих предварительных этапов обработки текста можно приступить к его переводу.

В ряде случаев для точной передачи содержания может потребоваться специализированный экономический словарь.

The increasing cost of energy has caused many companies to make permanent changes in their offices. On a small scale, office managers are purchasing energy-efficient office machines and encouraging recycling programs to cut energy costs. On a larger scale, architects and builders are responding to the demands of companies for more energy-efficient buildings.

Buildings constructed or renovated in the last few years have incorporated energy-saving measures. Office maintenance workers have sealed cracks around windows and doors. Builders have installed sets of double doors to reduce the exchange of indoor and outdoor air when doors are opened.

This has reduced transfer of air in and out of the building. While it has had cost-saving benefits, it has caused personnel-related costs such as increased employee absences due to illness. Since the interior air is recirculated and little fresh air is allowed in, everyday contaminants such as dust and germs remain in the air. Employees in energy-efficient buildings breathe the same air again and again. They suffer from an increase in headaches, colds, dry skin, and dry throats, and in severe cases respiratory problems.

1. Why was the construction of office buildings changed?

(A) To make construction easier

(B) To use better building materials

(C) To reduce energy consumption

(D) To make the offices more attractive

2. How is construction different now?

(A) Offices have fewer entrances.

(B) Windows and doors fit tightly.

(C) Air conditioning has been eliminated.

(D) Sprinkler systems are used.

3. What unexpected problem has this caused?

(A) It takes longer to enter the building.

(B) Employees are not warm enough.

(C) Offices cannot be cleaned.

(D) More workers take sick leave.

4. What illness increased among workers in these buildings?

(A) Headaches

(B) Muscle aches

(C) Rashes

(D) Nausea

3.3. (19 points) Translate the following text into Russian.

Economic efficiency

A major goal of almost all societies is economic efficiency, or using scare resources to produce as much as possible of desired goods and services. This goal represents the practical economist in action, confronting scarcity with self-interested, maximizing behaviour. Economic efficiency means not only producing goods as cheaply as possible in terms of opportunity cost, but also choosing the most desirable output combination on the production possibilities frontier.

Economic efficiency is reflected in both the what-to-produce and the how-to-produce questions. Production efficiency involves answering the question of how to produce successfully. Production efficiency means producing a given amount of a good or service at the lowest possible opportunity cost (smallest sacrifice of resources). Thus, if a good can be produced with more than one combination of resources, much capital and little labour or less capital and a lot of labour, for example, the least costly resource combination should be chosen for production efficiency.

Allocative efficiency means allocating resources among all the possible goods and services that could be produced so that consumers get the products they want most. Allocative efficiency is the response to the desires of a whole society full of practical economists. A society enjoys allocative efficiency if the answer to the what-to-produce question maximizes the satisfaction of its consumers.

Remember the Great Wall of China? If one were to build such a wall today, the production efficiency question would be whether to use a million people with only a little capital (tools) to build a wall, or whether to use only a thousand people equipped with earth-moving machinery and concrete trucks. Building it the cheapest way would be efficient production. The allocative efficiency questions are whether to build it at all, in preference to other goods and services that could be produced, or to build it half as high or half as long, and use the remaining resources to produce other goods that consumers value more highly.

Drug advisory committees report to the Ministry of Health. It is the responsibility of these committees to protect consumers, most of whom have little chemical or biological knowledge with which to evaluate medications. Drug advisory committees provide the Ministry of Health with the necessary information for evaluating the proper degree of access to medications by the consumer. Drug advisory committees also oversee the preparation of materials that provide clearly explained information about commonly available drugs in a manner that is readily understandable to the layperson. Drug education may take the form of literature, advertisements, training of health care personnel, or other means as deemed appropriate by each committee.

The Good Life Beckons

The good society accepts the basic market system and its managers, but there are some things the market system does not do either well or badly. In the good society these are the responsibility of the state.

Some areas of state action are evident. In no country does the market system provide good low-cost housing. This is a matter of prime importance and must everywhere be a public responsibility. Few things are more visibly at odds with the good society than badly housed or homeless people.

Health care is also a public responsibility in all civilized lands. No one can be assigned to illness or death because of poverty. Here Britain can proudly point to its leadership.

The state has many other essential functions. In must also be borne in mind that many of these – parks and recreational facilities, police, libraries, the arts, others – are more needed by the underclass than by the affluent. Those who attack the services of the state are usually those who can afford to provide similar services for themselves.

In the good society, there must also be attention to a range of activities that are beyond the time horizons of the market economy. This is true in the science, not excluding medical research. The market system invests for relatively short-run return. To support science is pre-eminently the responsibility of the state.

Some of the truly important industrial achievements of recent generations – the great improvements in agricultural productivity, modern air transport, advanced electronics – have depended heavily on such public investment. Necessary also – a matter we are beginning reluctantly to recognize – is investment and regulation in the longer-run interest of the environment. The good society protects and improves life in its planetary dimension.

Having the proper documentation when you travel abroad is very important. Remember that immigration and customs officials are very document-minded, so failing to obtain the proper paperwork before entering a country or losing your passport in a foreign city can cause many complications. When traveling, you should always know where your passport is. Always carry it in a safe place on your person or, if not going far, leave it in the hotel safe. Do not leave it lying about in your hotel room or easily visible in a pocket. If staying in a country for several weeks, it is worthwhile to register at your embassy or consulate. Then, if your passport is stolen, the process of replacing it is simpler and faster. It is also recommended to keep photocopies of essential documents as well as some additional passport-sized photographs.

Remember that it is your responsibility to ensure that your passport is stamped in and out when you cross borders. The absence of entry and exit stamps can cause serious difficulties and could invalidate your visa. Therefore, it is important to seek out the proper officials if the stamping process is not carried out as you cross the border. Also, do not lose your entry card. Replacing it can cause a lot of headaches and expense. Citizens of countries that require visas, such as France and Korea, can expect more delays and problems at border crossings.

1. Where would this advisory most likely appear?

(A) In a newspaper

(B) In an embassy pamphlet

(C) In an airline in-flight magazine

(D) In a travel guidebook

2. What should travelers do if staying in a country for a month?

(A) Register with their embassy

(B) Leave their passport in the hotel

(C) Find a good hotel

(D) Have extra passport photos taken

3. If border officials do not stamp the passport, what should a traveler do?

(A) Request that it be stamped as soon as possible

(B) Refrain from entering the country

(C) Go to the embassy

(D) Get help at the hotel

4. The word "ensure" in paragraph 2, line 1, is closest in meaning to

(A) fasten

(B) tighten

(C) make certain

(D) protect

3.3. (19 points) Translate the following text into Russian.

Rewards and Motivation

From the organization’s point of view, rewards are intended to motivate certain behaviors. Bun under what conditions will rewards actually motivate employees? To be useful, rewards must be seen as timely and tied to effective performance.

One theory suggests that the following conditions are necessary for employee motivation.

1. Employees must believe effective performance (or certain specified behaviour) will lead to certain rewards. For example, attaining certain results will lead to a bonus or approval from others.

2. Employees must feel that the rewards offered are attractive. Some employees may desire promotions because they seek power, but others may want a fringe benefit, such as a pension, because they are older and want retirement security.

3. Employees must believe a certain level of individual effort will lead to achieving the corporation’s standards of performance.

As indicated, motivation to exert effort is triggered by the prospect of desired rewards: money, recognition, promotion, and so forth. If effort leads performance and performance leads to desired rewards, the employee is satisfied and motivated to perform again.

As mentioned above, rewards fall into two categories: extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic rewards come from the organization as money, perquisites, or promotions or from supervisors and co-workers as recognition. Intrinsic rewards accrue from performing the task itself, and may include the satisfaction of accomplishment or a sense of influence. The process of work and the individual’s response to it provide the intrinsic rewards. But the organization seeking to increase intrinsic rewards must provide a work environment that allows these satisfactions to occur, therefore, more organizations are redesigning work and delegating responsibility to enhance employee involvement.
