The Matryoshka Doll's house

The Russian Matryoshka Museum is home to a collection of 400 Matryoshka

dolls. These date from the 19th century up to the present day. The dolls are wooden

with beautiful decorations. Some of them represent characters from Russian

literature, fairy tales and politics. Most of the dolls have five to seven pieces, but

some sets are really big and have fifty pieces. The biggest piece is one metre high and

the smallest one is one centimetre high.

The History of the Matryoshka Doll

The Matryoshka doll came to Russia from Japan at the end of the 19th century.

The first Matryoshka was a girl in a print dress, a white apron and a bright shawl,

carrying a rooster under her arm. There were six other dolls inside her. The doll

looked very Russian and soon became popular. The name Matryoshka came from the

common Russian name Matryona. Today, Matryoshkas are made in many parts of

Russia.

Where to find us

The museum is at 7, Leontievsky Pereulok in Moscow between

Reading

Time: 15 minutes (10 points)

Task 1

Read the text 'School in the Past and in the Future'. Then match the beginnings

of the sentences (1-10) from the text with their endings (a-l). There are two

extra endings.

School in the Past and in the Future

In Britain in the early and mid-nineteenth century, children didn't have to go to

school at all. There were schools, of course, but you had to pay to go to them, and

often parents couldn't afford the fees. Many people also believed that girls didn't need

to go to school, as their future was to get married and have children. Although from

1870 the law said that all children aged 5 to 10 had to go to school, many poor

families weren't able to pay. The children of these families needed to have a job in

order to pay the fees, and school timetables were organised to make this possible. It

wasn't until 1918 that children had to be at least 12 years old to work for a living.

Schools 100 years ago were certainly very different from those today. But what

about the future? A national newspaper recently organised a competition for schools

called The school I'd like. 'I'm concerned that the pressures of the national curriculum

will mean that there won't be time for a project like this,' a reporter said. She needn't

have worried, as there were over 15,000 entries full of ideas!

And what great ideas: a school in a giant submarine with waterproof maps of

the underwater world, private helicopters to fly students to France for French lessons,

and rockets to take children to distant planets to study the solar system. There are also

some down-to-earth suggestions: clean toilets with locks that work so that students

won't have to wait until they get home, no uniforms so that students will be able to

choose what to wear, chill-out rooms to relax in, and enough computers so that

students won't need to queue for them. Safety and comfort are clearly important: one

Now we are ready to start.

The rise of Moscovy (as the principality was named) was made possible due to

several factors. First and foremost was its location in the area between the rivers at

the crossroads of Russia’s trade routes. Another factor was its prestige as a seat of the

Russian Orthodox Church, which became important after the fall of Constantinople in

the 15^th century. Moreover, during the 1350s, the Mongol-Tatar Golden Horde was

weakened by numerous struggles for power within its vast empire. Meanwhile, the

Kremlin was being strengthened.

In 1380, Dmitry led the Russian army to confront the Horde near the River

Don. The battle of Kulikovo was the Russians’ first victory, and this historic event

was commemorated by the foundation of the Donskoy Monastery on the site where

Dmitry assumed the title of Donskoy. However, the Horde remained a serious threat.

In the years that followed, Russian icon painting reached its zenith. The names

of the artists were Theopohanes the Greek, Andrei Rublyev and Daniil Cherniy, who

worked in Moscow.

In 1453, the Byzantine capital Constantinople fell to the Turks.

Now we are ready to start.

The Tatar Yoke was finally thrown off in the reign of Ivan III, Dmitry

Donskoy’s grandson. He was known as Ivan the Great. He married Sophia

Palaiologina, the niece of the last Emperor of Byzantium. She presented the country

with its coat-of-arms - a double-headed eagle. Ivan III used it as a symbol of his

claim to rule the Eastern and Western Roman Empires. So, Ivan’s marriage provoked

Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку 2018-2019 уч. г.

Школьный этап. 7-8 классы

the idea of Russia being one and only successor of the Great Constantinople and the

only true defender of the Orthodox Church.

Having gained power over Yaroslavl, Rostov, Tver and Pskov before his

marriage, Ivan III continued the expansion of Moscovy. By the end of his reign even

independent Novgorod had submitted, giving Moscow control of a huge area that

stretched as far north as the White Sea. Thus, he acquired the title of the “Gatherer of

the Russian lands” and “Autocrat of all the Russians”.

Read the passage below and answer questions 1-15.

ASSISTANTS TO THE STARS

It stands to reason that a city like Los Angeles, which is home to so many of

the famous and the semi-famous, would have an Association of Celebrity Personal

Assistants (ACPA). The organisation describes personal assistants as ‘multitasking’,

as ‘possessing the most resourceful, creative, insightful, and results-driven abilities.’

When I first got in touch with Josef Csongei, the organisation’s president, he

was initially reluctant to talk to me because I was a journalist. As he sees it, celebrity

personal assistants have not always been treated fairly by the press. But despite this,

and all the hard work and lack of appreciation that can come with this line of work,

he explained, the jobs were still widely sought after. He noted that people regularly

travelled great distances to attend a seminar titled ‘Becoming a Celebrity Personal

Assistant’, run by the ACPA. To prove his point, he told me about Dean Johnson. In

the coming weeks, I heard this story from a number of assistants, including Johnson

himself, and every time it left me baffled.

The story begins one night in September 1994, with Dean Johnson sitting at

home in Columbia, South Carolina. Johnson is a single,

32-year-old business

executive in charge of marketing and advertising at a sizeable company in the

healthcare industry. It is 11 pm and he’s looking to unwind in front of the television

after a long day’s work. A repeat of a talk show appears on the screen, and the host

introduces her four guests: the celebrity personal assistants for Whoopi Goldberg,

Roseanne Barr, Burt Reynolds and Carol Burnett. As these assistants talk about

flying on private jets and attending Hollywood parties, Johnson reaches for a pen and

starts taking notes. Without wasting another minute, he picks up the phone, calls

Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку 2018-2019 уч. г.

Школьный этап. 9-11 классы

directory enquiries in Los Angeles, and asks for the home phone numbers of the four

assistants on the show.

Only one of them is listed: Ron Holder, who works for Whoopi Goldberg.

Johnson dials his number, and a minute later Holder picks up the phone. ‘He said I

was very lucky to get through,’ Johnson told me. ‘Apparently, in the three months

since he had appeared on that talk show, he had received about 200 phone calls from

people like me. He was in the process of disconnecting his phone, but he was nice

enough to chat with me for a while.’ During their conversation, Holder told Johnson

that he should consider attending the ‘Becoming a Celebrity Personal Assistant’

seminar in Los Angeles.

For someone like Johnson, with almost no connections in the industry, the

notion of moving out to Los Angeles to become a celebrity personal assistant,

something he did two months later, was extremely courageous - there’s no denying

that. The typical American story of the guy in the remote provinces who falls in love

with the glamour of the silver screen, packs up all his possessions and moves out to

Hollywood to become a star is almost a century old. But Johnson’s story offered a

new twist: he moved out to Hollywood to become an assistant to a star.

Of the thousands of people who work in Hollywood: agents, lawyers, stylists,

publicists, business managers and others, many hope to rub shoulders with the

biggest stars. What’s unique about celebrity personal assistants is that such proximity

appears to be the only perk their profession offers. Most describe the bulk of their

work as drudgery: doing laundry, fetching groceries, paying bills. Assistants typically

make about $56,000 a year - hardly a fortune by Hollywood standards, especially

given the round-the-clock obligations they often have. What’s more, the job is rarely

a stepping stone to fame: celebrity personal assistants are, on average, aged about 38,

right in the middle of their professional lives, and most of the ones I met described

their line of work as a lifelong profession. For them, being an assistant was not the

means to an end but an end in itself.

Listening comprehension

For items 1-10 listen to a man talking about the sport of elephant polo and decide

whether the statements 1-10 are TRUE according to the text you hear (A), or FALSE

(B), or the information on the statement is NOT STATED in the text (C). You will hear

the text twice. You have 20 seconds to look through the statements.

(pause 20 seconds)

Now we begin

Of course, polo is normally played on horses, and it’s a very fast game. Well, we don’t

claim that elephant polo is the fastest game in the world, but we always maintain it’s

the biggest. The elephants do actually enjoy polo. Definitely. It's a lot of fun for them

because they’re social animals, and a polo tournament is a week when dozens of

elephants meet up, many from the same family, like a reunion. And of course they get

fed extremely well - better than in their normal life. They use up a lot of energy and

get through masses of sugar cane, especially at half-time.

The players sit on elephants and hit a white wooden ball, using a long bamboo stick

that has a polo mallet head on the end of it. The pitch is about three-quarters the length

of a football pitch, and the goals are the same width as football goals. There’s a basic

saddle and the players are strapped onto the elephants.

We've never had a serious accident. A mahout - an elephant handler - sits behind each

player and guides the elephant. Sometimes the mahouts have their own games, guiding

the elephant and hitting the ball as well. That takes incredible skill.

During a game, if the ball hits an elephant, that’s fine. Their legs are quite thick and

they do get in the way. Quite often they will kick the ball so they can run after

it. They’re not allowed to pick up the ball with their trunks, though they sometimes try.

That would be a free hit to the other side.

There are four elephants per team in a tournament, plus the referee’s elephant - that’s

nine on the pitch at any one time. We usually have sixteen animals available on any

given day, in four teams. There are two halves, called chukkas, in a game of elephant

polo, the same as in normal polo. We play ten minutes of actual play. Whenever the

whistle blows, the clock stops. A novice team might score one or two goals, if they’re

lucky, while an advanced team might score about ten.

The polo rules are that a man can only hold the stick with his right arm, even if he is

left-handed. Women can use both hands. Using the stick is hard work, because it's long

and the head is heavy. By the end of the game, your arm will be aching. But it’s an

easy game to pick up with a little practice.

Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку 2018-2019 уч. г.

Школьный этап. 9-11 классы

During the game, you chase after the ball on your elephant, going quite quickly,

and you can easily miss it, though the elephant will often help you out with his foot.

The elephants usually supply the entertainment. They might decide to lie down across

the goal for fun but that’s an absolute no-no.

Ultimately it’s about elephants charging up and down the pitch, scoring great goals

themselves and having a lot of fun. If the elephants didn’t enjoy it, or if there was any

form of misbehaving, they would be removed from the game - sent off, if you like. It’s

not worth risking an elephant with an attitude problem.

You get all sorts. You get big elephants that are a bit older and wiser, and we use a lot

of small ones that can be exceptionally quick. We try to remove what you might call

the elephant factor by swapping elephants and mahouts with the other team at half-

time. If you’ve got elephants that don’t normally live together, there can be some

tension. The sport always uses Indian elephants. The problem with African ones is that

their ears get in the way. And they’re much taller.

You have 20 seconds to check your answers. (pause 20 seconds)

Now listen to the text again. (text repeated)

This is the end of the listening comprehension task.

Task 1

Read the text People Who Changed the World and complete the gaps (6-11) in

the text with six of the phrases (A-H). There are two extra phrases.

People Who Changed the World

The French chemist and biologist, Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) made one of the most

important discoveries in medical history. He discovered that there were germs called

bacteria in the air which caused liquids to sour, so he developed the process called

'pasteurisation': killing the bacteria ____6_____ . Because of Pasteur's research, most

dairy products today are pasteurised. Pasteur then realised that most infectious

diseases are caused by germs in the air, ____7_____ . He used this theory to explain

how vaccination worked and showed how doctors could prevent some illnesses by

injecting weak forms of the disease. Pasteur's pioneering work has protected millions

of people from disease, thanks to pasteurisation and vaccination.

The American writer and biologist Rachel Carson (1907-1964) started the modern

environmental movement when she wrote a controversial book about the destructive

effects of pesticides on the chain of life. Silent Spring, ____8____ , is one of the few

books that have changed the way people view the natural world. Its impact was so

enormous that it was compared with Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. As a

result, Carson was attacked by the chemical industry, but Silent Spring also caused a

massive protest against environmental pollution. Consequently, the US government

started to take action to control the use of pesticides in agriculture _____9_____ .

And thanks to Rachel Carson, there is now a worldwide movement to protect the

environment.

The Italian physicist Guglielmo Marconi

(1874-1937) made the first ever

transatlantic radio transmission on 12 December 1901. A transmitter in south-west

England signalled the letter S - three dots in Morse code - and the signal was picked

up in Newfoundland, 3,500km away. This achievement was so extraordinary that at

first people didn't believe it. Marconi had already successfully transmitted a message

over 50km _____10_____ . But most scientists believed that radio waves would not

follow the curve of the Earth and could, therefore, never transmit signals across an

ocean. It was such a long way that it seemed completely impossible. Marconi proved

them wrong. As a result of his achievement, we have seen the development of

broadcasting, communications satellites, radar, the telephone and the Internet.

Marconi's genius has also helped to save thousands of lives on land, _____11_____ -

when the Titanic sank in 1912, an estimated 700 lives were saved thanks to SOS

signals from a Marconi transmitter.

Example:

This Is My Hobby

If I hаd to sаy it whаt my hobby is, I suppose the аnswer would

hаve to be reаding. It аll stаrted in eаrly childhood when my

fаther used to enjoy much mаking up stories for my brother аnd

myself. This wаs а hugely populаr every night аt bedtime. As we

grew older, we turned to books аnd by the time I wаs ten, I had

a large collection of these children's literature. Ever since I can

remember, I have read about a book a week and I am get through

lots and lots of such magazines too. I especially enjoy reading in bed

and if I am really enjoying a book, I will stay up all night to finish it.

But I also tend to fill my spare up time with reading. You will often see

me reading on the bus, for example, or if I am waiting from in a queue.

I never go anywhere without have something to read. I actually

collect magazines and I have a room at home filled with them. I even

buy magazines written in languages that I don't know them, just for

the pleasure given of looking at the pictures and seeing the way

how they are designed. It will come as no great surprise, therefore,

if I will tell you that my main ambition in life is to become an editor.

READING

Time: 45 minutes (20 points)

Task 1

For items 16-25, read the passage below and choose option A, B, C or D which best

fits according to the text.

(1) It’s Monday afternoon and Kate Turner is teaching a class of 11- and 12-

year-olds French. Last week they wrote a set of descriptive sentences about animals

and today they’re going to turn their descriptions into picture books.

(2) “Once you’ve finished with your sentences, you’re going to illustrate them

to reflect what you’ve written,” she tells the class.

Silence.

“Any questions?”

A hand pops up.

“Do we have to draw the pictures? Can’t we just write the sentences?”

“You need to draw the pictures as well. You’re making a picture book,

remember?”

“But I can’t draw, Miss.”

(3) A ripple of agreement spreads around the room. Heads shake. One boy goes

under his desk and refuses to come out for 10 minutes. Kate spends the lesson

encouraging and cajoling them to give it a try.

(4) The trouble is, they’re right. Most of them can’t draw. Their illustrations

wouldn’t look out of place in a reception classroom when kids are four or five and

just start school. Cats, cows, pigs and mice all appear the same - round heads and

bodies drawn with four stick legs poking out. And it isn’t just this particular class.

With few exceptions, the pattern is repeated in every year group that we all teach.

And this is already middle school.

(5) According to the primary national curriculum, we should be teaching

children to become “proficient in drawing”. But what’s going on in actuality? “There

just aren’t enough hours in the day,” says the school principal.

“And that’s the end of

that.”

(6) It’s not just art. Music is sidelined too, as are languages. Children are

removed from French lessons for extra reading and writing interventions; school

productions are shelved due to lack of practice time; opportunities for drama are

reduced to the odd English lesson.

-3-

Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку. 2018-2019 уч. г.

Муниципальный этап. 9-11 классы

(7) And why is it all happening? Teachers are under pressure to improve

outcomes for reading, writing and maths, particularly in year groups where SATs

(standard assessment tests) are the only tool for assessing children.

(8) Most teachers find themselves in that position, being forced to make

changes to timetables they’d rather not. Every January they would sit down together

with their colleagues and take a red pen to the timetable they’d carefully crafted in

September, replacing music with extra comprehension or swapping French or any

other foreign language for additional spelling sessions.

(9) In a recent survey,

97% of the union’s teachers agreed that SATs

preparation did not support children’s access to a broad and balanced curriculum,

saying the time taken to prepare children for assessment in maths and English has

squeezed out other subjects and activities. The problem doesn’t stop when our

children leave primary. The proportion of 13 up to 15- and 16-year-olds taking

subjects like music and drama has fallen to its lowest level in 10 years. The study of

modern foreign languages at GCSE¹ is also in decline.

(10) Most teachers feel strongly that our schools are missing a trick. Feversham

Primary Academy in Bradford recently made headlines for its focus on teaching the

arts, particularly music, drama and art into every part of the school day. Seven years

ago Feversham was in special measures and making headlines for all the wrong

reasons. Today it is rated “good” by Ofsted and is in the top 10% nationally for pupil

progress in reading, writing and maths, according to the most recent data.

(11) Improving outcomes aside, Kate Turner and lots of other teachers worry

about the message we’re sending our children when we push arts and languages into

the background. They say we’re creating a gulf between children whose parents can

afford to take them to private music lessons, language clubs or the theatre, and those

whose access comes mainly through the school curriculum.

(12) But more than all this, we should all remember an Einstein quote - the one

that says that if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will spend its life

thinking it is stupid. There are children who struggle to read but come to life on the

stage. There are those who just can’t concentrate at other lessons but will sit and paint

for an hour without leaving their seat. If our schools are only interested in children’s

progress and attainment in a limited range of subjects, how can we ever hope to build

on the potential of those whose strengths lie elsewhere?

¹ The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is an academic qualification, generally taken in

a number of subjects by pupils in secondary education in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Муниципальный этап. 9-11 классы

(13) The trouble is that creativity, increased confidence or a love of the arts

aren’t easily measured through standardized tests, data analysis or league tables.

Maybe that’s why, ultimately, certain subjects are sidelined. Perhaps this may sound

idealistic, but this is an issue that bothers teachers today. And it should bother school

leaderships and government too.

16. In Kate Turner's classroom the kids are tasked to

A) write sentences using words denoting animals.

B) create pictures to accompany their writings.

C) write sentences to illustrate the given pictures.

D) create a picture book for the whole class.

17. What is the kids' reaction like to the task they get?

A) They are unwilling to do it.

B) They eagerly agree to fulfill the task.

C) They encourage each other to do it.

D) They stay indifferent to the task.

18. The words “reception classroom” in Paragraph 4 refer to

A) the class Kate Turner is teaching.

B) the opening class of a new subject.

C) the first class in primary school.

D) the class that starts a new academic year.

19. What sentence sums up Paragraph 6?

A) Teaching basic skills is given priority over creative classes.

B) French classes need more hours to practice writing and reading.

C) Drama classes are taught in the English language only.

D) Language classes should be substituted by drama and music classes.

20. Which sentence is NOT TRUE about the way teachers deal with their timetables?

A) Teachers are not eager to change the timetables they made at the start of the

academic year.

B) Teachers integrate extra classes to prepare students for SATs into their

timetables.

C) Teachers have to adjust their timetables for students to achieve better scores

at exams.

D) Teachers have to substitute a number of classes in favour of SATs subjects.

21. According to the research, the situation with arts and languages in primary and

secondary school

A) has greatly improved.

B) has got much worse.

C) has remained the same.

D) has got slightly better.

22. The example of Feversham Primary Academy shows that

A) the focus on creativity has improved results across the school.

B) any school can find a way to teach arts as part of their curriculum.

C) Ofsted will encourage teaching arts on a daily basis at school.

D) the school is largely praised by the printed media.

23. Teachers think that limiting arts and language classes

A) leaves more time for family communication.

B) gives students more free time.

C) divides students into social strata.

D) provides students with more choice.

24. What is the meaning of the quote by A. Einstein?

A) We can’t judge everyone on the same scale.

B) Children should try themselves in different fields.

C) Some children have an inborn talent for the arts.

D) There are students who never succeed at school.

25. What is the main idea expressed in the text?

A) The main aim of schools is to get top results at exams by all means.

B) Schools should have an individual approach to every student.

C) Art, music and drama should be optional subjects at school.

D) Standardized tests should not be used for assessing students' abilities and

skills.

The Moscow Metro

Moscow’s metro is arguably the most iconic and beautiful in the world.

It’s full of the frescoes and very punctual trains. It’s also a good place to

shelter from bad weather during a chilly city day.

People first started talking about a metro for Moscow in 1902 due to the need

not to lag behind London, which had built its underground system 39 years

before.

Moreover, the city became irrevocably mired in traffic jams, and Muscovites

were suffered.

Construction of the first tunnel began in 1931, and four years later, the first

ever line of the Moscow metro was completed.

At 7 a.m. on 15 May 1935, 13 stations opened their doors. People had been

waited all night by the stations, dreaming of becoming the metro’s first

passengers.

They were allowed on the trains with tickets which came in two colours: red

for trips to Sokolniki and yellow for the return back journey.

History has preserved the name of the first passenger, a Mr. Latyshev, who

proudly told the Rabochaya Moskva newspaper: “I’ve travelled in wagons,

street-cars, horse-drawn trams, and electric trams, and now I’ve lived to see

the metro.

I know there is a man in America who collects the first tickets ever issued on

every metro system. But no, I’ll never send it my valuable Ticket No.1, series

A, to America.”

In Sokolniki, a place where in the 17^th century falconers made their homes,

the first building of the Moscow metro appeared.

Falconers were people from big villages who had trained falcons for the

Tsar’s hunts.

The project of the station won a Grand Prix at the International Exposition of

Art and Technology in Modern Life in Paris in 1937.

The station known as Komsomolskaya is being built in Art Deco style with

two rows of square columns covered with pinkish yellow Chorgun marble

from Crimea.

A Maiolica panel, in the style of Italian Renaissance artists and by Russian

painter Eugene Lanceray, a member of the influential Mir Iskusstva (World of

Art) movement, is dedicated to the selfless work of the Komsomol members

who built the metro.

It’s known that Lanceray even went down into the metro tunnel when having

working on his sketches.

Krasnye Vorota is a station where three eminent architects showed off their

talents at a time: Ivan Fomin, Nikolai Andrikanis, Nikolai Ladovsky.

The dark red shade of Shrosha marble from Georgia goes well with its name

(Red Gates), and carries with it the memory of the lost triumphal arch, was

constructed on this very spot by architect Dmitry Uhtomsky in the

18^th

century.
