содержания текста

Перечень контролируемых учебных элементов содержания дисциплины

отражает требования к знаниям и умениям, которые студент должен приобрести в

результате освоения дисциплины или ее отдельных разделов. При этом уровень

сложности заданий должен быть БАЗОВЫМ, т.е. все предлагаемые на конкурс задания

должны контролировать обязательную подготовку студентов на уровне требований,

задаваемом государственными образовательными стандартами. Тестовые задания

используются в качестве итогового контроля в on-line (дистанционном) режиме в сфере

профессионального образования на сайте Иркутского государственного университет

путей сообщения «Стрела».

Их наполнение различными разделами способствует выявлению остаточных

знаний в конце изучения курса по дисциплине «Английский язык» и сформированности у

студентов таких компетенций, как:

общекультурных:

• логически верное, аргументированное и чёткое построение устной и письменной

речи, создание текстов профессионального назначения; умение отстаивать свою

точку зрения, не разрушая отношений;

• понимание ценностей культуры, науки, производства, рационального потребления.

профессиональные:

• чтение и перевод текстов по профессиональной тематике на одном из иностранных

языков, владение им не ниже разговорного;

• письменная, устная и электронная коммуникация на государственном языке и

необходимое знание иностранного языка (хороший английский язык).

В тестовых задания представлены примеры из аутентичных источников с подбором

языковых и культурных реалий английского языка: от социально-бытовых до

профессионально- коммуникативных клише; от поискового чтения до изучающего; от

лексико-грамматического материала до социокультурных ценностей изучаемого языка.

Подготовка к автоматизированному тестированию позволяет студентам не только

проверить свои знания, полученные по курсу дисциплины «Английский язык, но и

использовать их в своей дальнейшей профессиональной деятельности.

ЗАДАНИЕ №27 (выберите один вариант ответа)

Определите, является ли утверждение

Railway signalling system helps to avoid train collision.

Прочитайте текст

RAILWAY SIGNALLING

1. Railway signalling is a system used to control railway traffic safely, essentially to prevent

trains from colliding. Being guided by fixed rails, trains are uniquely susceptible to collision;

furthermore, trains cannot stop quickly, and frequently operate at speeds that do not enable them

to stop within sighting distance of the driver. In the UK, the Regulation of Railways Act 1889

introduced a series of requirements on matters such as the implementation of interlocked block

signalling and other safety measures as a direct result of the Armagh rail disaster in that year.

2. Most forms of train control involve movement authority being passed from those responsible

(e.g., a signalman or stationmaster) for each section of a rail network to the train crew. The set of

rules and the physical equipment used to accomplish this determine what is known as the method

of working (UK), method of operation (US) or safeworking (Aus.). Not all these methods require

the use of physical signals and some systems are specific to single track railways.

3. The earliest rail cars were first hauled by horses or mules. A mounted flagman on a horse

preceded some early trains. Hand and arm signals were used to direct the “train drivers”. Foggy

and poor-visibility conditions led to the usage of flags and lanterns. Wayside signalling dates

back as far as 1832, and used elevated flags or balls that could be seen from afar.

introduced a series of requirements on matters such as the implementation of interlocked block

signalling and other safety measures as a direct result of the Armagh rail disaster in that year.

2. Most forms of train control involve movement authority being passed from those responsible

(e.g., a signalman or stationmaster) for each section of a rail network to the train crew. The set of

rules and the physical equipment used to accomplish this determine what is known as the method

of working (UK), method of operation (US) or safeworking (Aus.). Not all these methods require

the use of physical signals and some systems are specific to single track railways.

3. The earliest rail cars were first hauled by horses or mules. A mounted flagman on a horse

preceded some early trains. Hand and arm signals were used to direct the “train drivers”. Foggy

and poor-visibility conditions gave rise to flags and lanterns. Wayside signalling dates back as

far as 1832, and used elevated flags or balls that could be seen from afar.

I am writing to request a waiver for Michael Smith, M.D., a member of the Antiviral Drugs

Advisory Committee, from the conflict of interest prohibitions of 18 U.S.C. section 208(a).

Waivers under section 208(b)(3) may be granted by the appointing official where "the need for

the individual's services outweighs the potential for a conflict of interest created by the financial

interest involved" and where the individual has made a disclosure of the financial interests at

issue. We have determined that you are the appointing official for purposes of section 208.

Therefore, you have the authority to grant Dr. Smith a waiver under section 208(b)(3).

Accordingly, I recommend that you grant Dr. Michael Smith a waiver that would allow him

to participate in all official matters concerning New Drug Application (NDA) 20-123, Varid

(movirapine), sponsored by ABC Laboratories, a subsidiary of Boehringer Ingelheim

Pharmaceuticals, for use in the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. I

believe that such a waiver is appropriate because in this case, the need for the services of Dr.

Smith outweighs the potential for a conflict of interest created by the financial interest attributed

to him.

Every crew is informed with train timetable.

TIMETABLE OPERATION

1. The simplest form of operation, at least in terms of equipment, is to run the system

according to a timetable. A fixed schedule is drawn up with which every train crew must be

familiar. Trains may only run on each section of track at their scheduled time, during which they

have 'possession' and no other train is permitted to use the same section.

2. When trains are running in opposite directions on a single-track railroad, meeting

points ("meets") are scheduled, at which each train must wait for the other at a passing place.

Neither train is permitted to move before the other has arrived. In the US the display of two

green flags (green lights at night) is an indication that another train is following the first and the

waiting train must wait for the next train to pass. In addition, the train carrying the flags gives

eight blasts on the whistle as it approaches. The waiting train must return eight blasts before the

flag carrying train may proceed.

3. The timetable system has several disadvantages. First, there is no positive

confirmation that the track ahead is clear, only that it is scheduled to be clear. The system does

not allow for engine failures and other such problems, but the timetable is set up so that there

should be sufficient time between trains for the crew of a failed or delayed train to walk far

enough to set up warning flags, flares, and detonators or torpedoes (UK and US terminology,

respectively) to alert any other train crew. A second problem is the system's inflexibility. Trains

cannot be added, delayed, or rescheduled without advance notice. A third problem is a corollary

of the second: the system is inefficient. To provide flexibility, the timetable must give trains a

broad allocation of time to allow for delays, so the line is in the possession of each train for

longer than is otherwise necessary. Nonetheless, this system permits operation on a vast scale,

with no requirements for any kind of communication that travels faster than a train. Timetable

operation was the normal mode of operation in North America in the early days of the railroad.

cannot be added, delayed, or rescheduled without advance notice. A third problem is a corollary

of the second: the system is inefficient. To provide flexibility, the timetable must give trains a

broad allocation of time to allow for delays, so the line is in the possession of each train for

longer than is otherwise necessary. Nonetheless, this system permits operation on a vast scale,

with no requirements for any kind of communication that travels faster than a train. Timetable

operation was the normal mode of operation in North America in the early days of the railroad.

John Jones, Ph.D., has been appointed as a special Government employee to the Center for

Drug Evaluation and Research. This memorandum constitutes a determination, in accordance

with 18 U.S.C. Я208(b)(3), that the need for the Dr. Jones' services, with respect to matters of

general applicability, outweighs the potential for a conflict of interest created by any personal or

imputed financial interest that he may have in matters of general applicability in which he is

expected to participate.

Please note that this is a general matters waiver. It will not permit Dr. Jones to participate

in any matters involving specific parties that may affect his financial interests, or any person or

organization described above. When the work of the Committee moves from matters of general

applicability to more specific matters (e.g., recommendations specific to an identified product),

which could specifically affect Dr. Jones' personal and imputed financial interests, the Food and

Drug Administration will examine Dr. Jones' interests in relation to the particular matter, and

either obtain a specific waiver allowing him to participate, or exclude him from participating in

the particular matter.

Train speed optimization allows using train mechanisms reasonably.

Прочитайте текст

TRAIN SPEED OPTIMIZATION

1. Train speed optimization is a system that reduces the need for trains to brake and

accelerate, resulting in smoother and more efficient operation. While train speed optimization

needs some technical infrastructure, it is more of an operational concept than a technical

installation. One can relatively easily implement train speed optimization using for instance cab

signalling but the presence of a cab signalling system does not necessarily mean that it uses train

speed optimization. Train speed optimization may also be implemented using conventional

signalling.

2. Usually, trains are allowed to run at the maximum speed the track allows until the

distant signal of next occupied block. This is inefficient in many cases, because this way the train

comes to a halt in front of the red signal and has to accelerate again from zero. If the train slows

down much earlier, it reaches, given the right timing, the distant signal just when the home signal

switches to green. This way, the train does not need to stop. Thus, wear on the brakes is reduced

and the train uses less energy. But the main reason, especially for trains that accelerate slowly, is

that the train passes the home signal at high speed, compared to the conventional case where the

train often has to accelerate from standstill. This effectively increases track capacity, because the

time it takes for the train to run from the distant signal (that has just turned green) to the home

signal is often much less than the time it takes for a train to accelerate from the home signal.

3. For a train speed optimization system to work, it is necessary to have a signalling

system which is capable of displaying several different speeds, for instance 40, 60, 90 km/h and

the full line speed, which also requires an train protection system that is able to handle these

cases (cab signalling may replace these installations). Further, the track must be equipped with

inductive loops that detect the presence of trains with sufficient precision (or other means of

detecting the positions of the trains). Finally a computer system is needed that is able to

reasonably predict the movements of the trains for the next few minutes.

Ms. Wanda Jones, Principal

Anywhere Elementary School

Anywhere, VA 00000-0000

Dear Ms. Jones:

I am nearing completion of my Master's in Education Program at Shenandoah University, with an

46

anticipated graduation in December, 1999. I would like to apply to do my student teaching in

grade 5 at Anywhere Elementary School during the fall term.

As part of my graduate program, I have logged approximately 100 hours in various internship

programs; some of my experiences have included

• interviewing school staff about various topics including teaching pedagogy and manage­

ment

• reviews of curricula for my grade level

• tutoring students

• teaching a variety of mini-lessons as well as some full class instruction

During discussions with different teachers during my internships, I have heard many nice things

about Anywhere Elementary School and believe that a student teaching assignment at your

school would provide me with some additional experiences that will help me become a more

effective teacher. I believe that my experiences and background would also be a good match with

the educational philosophy that is followed at Anywhere Elementary School.

Thank you for taking the time to review my request and I look forward to hearing from you.

Please need I know if you require additional information?

Sincerely,

John P. Student

The purpose of signalling is to ensure the safety of train movement.

Прочитайте текст

AUTOMATIC SIGNALLING

1. Present-day signalling systems use colour light signals throughout. The aim of railway

signalling is to provide high standards of safety in train operation. For this purpose interlocking

plants are in general use at terminals, junctions, railroad crossings, etc.

2. Colour light signals are widely used for automatic signalling. Stations equipped with

modern signalling system have signals at each end, for entering and leaving, with signals located

approximately half-mile from the approach signals to warn the drivers that they are coming to a

station.

3. These signals give indications by electric lights, both by day and night. The colour

light signals are distinctly seen in the brightest sunlight.

4. Every signal used on railways has its own indication. The most common indications

shown by various signals are the following: Stop - requires a train to stop dead and not pass the

signal except under special instructions of emergency procedures. (Stop signals may be passed

after halting and waiting in automatic block territory - usually 1 min. during the day & 2 min.

during the night.); Caution - allows a train to proceed past the signal with caution (at reduced

speed), being prepared to stop at the next signal; Proceed - allows the train to proceed past the

signal without slowing down or stopping; Proceed Slow - shown only by calling-on signals,

allows a train to pass the signal at slow speed after stopping, being prepared to stop short of

another train or an obstruction on the same track; Proceed for Shunting - shown by shunting

signals, allows movement past the signal with caution for the purposes of shunting.

Dr. Maria Gomez-Salinas

Director of the Diabetes Clinic

St. David's Hospital

1000 Greenberg Lane

Wichita, KS 66780

Dear Dr. Gomez-Salinas:

I am writing you in hopes of finding out more about how the new Glucoscan II blood glucose

monitoring system, which a representative at Lifescan informed me that your clinic is currently

using.

Originally, I saw Lifescan's advertisement of this new device in the January 19XX issue of

Diabetes Forecast and became very interested in it. I wrote the company and got much useful

information, but was recommended to write several current users of the system as well.

For a technical report that I am writing for a technical writing class at Johnson County Junior

College, I need some help with the following questions: How often does the Glucoscan II need to

be calibrated in practical, everyday use conditions?

How accurate is the Glucoscan II compared to other similar systems that your patients have

used?

What problems do your patients experience with this new device?

The Lifescan representative indicated that your clinic is one the leaders in implementing new

technology for diabetics, and therefore I am eager to hear from you. In the report I will

acknowledge your contributions, and I will send you a copy of the completed report if you wish.

Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Anita Teller

Student, Medical Technology

Johnson County Junior College

(3)_____: Conflict of Interest Waiver for Michael Smith, (4) _____.

I am writing to request a waiver for Michael Smith, M.D., a member of the Antiviral

Drugs Advisory Committee, from the conflict of interest prohibitions of 18 U.S.C. section

208(a). Waivers under section 208(b)(3) may be granted by the appointing official where "the

need for the individual's services outweighs the potential for a conflict of interest created by the

financial interest involved" and where the individual has made a disclosure of the financial

interests at issue. We have determined that you are the appointing official for purposes of section

208. Therefore, you have the authority to grant Dr. Smith a waiver under section 208(b)(3).

Accordingly, I recommend that you grant Dr. Michael Smith a waiver that would allow

him to participate in all official matters concerning New Drug Application (NDA) 20-123, Varid

(movirapine), sponsored by ABC Laboratories, a subsidiary of Boehringer Ingelheim

Pharmaceuticals, for use in the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. I

believe that such a waiver is appropriate because in this case, the need for the services of Dr.

Smith outweighs the potential for a conflict of interest created by the financial interest attributed

to him.

ARCTIC BRIDGE MARKS YAMAL PROGRESS

59

1. A ceremony on a remote flood plain on the Yamal Peninsula on September 24 marked

completion of the longest bridge within the Arctic Circle. The 3.9 km structure over the Yuribey

River will carry a 572 km railway being built by Gazprom to carry construction materials and

workers to the Bovanenkovskoye gas field, one of the largest untapped gas reserves in the

country, and for shipping gas condensate out. The 525 km from Obskaya to Bovanenkovo is due

to open in January 2010, with the remaining section to Karskaya following in September.

2. There will be five stations, 12 passing loops and 70 bridges totalling 12 route-km. the

bridge over the flood plain features a novel crossing-arm design intended to maintain stability if

the permafrost thaws. The crossing arms comprise a series of 1.2 mm to 2.4 mm diameter metal

pipes buried in shafts drilled into the permafrost at a depth of 20 m to 40 m, and filled with

reinforced concrete.

3. Speaking at an energy summit in the Siberian city of Salekhard on the same day,

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin urged Gazprom to sell the railway to RZD to enable it to

concentrate on its core business of upstream gas production - an idea apparently supported by

Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller. The energy giant values the Yamal line at 170 bn roubles, but in

response to Putin’s suggestion, RZD President Vladimir Yakunin was quoted as saying, “for this

kind of money, let them keep it”.

4. Gazprom has denied reports it is planning to buy GE Transportation Evolution Series

diesel locomotives for the line.
