### Объяснение и разбор заданий
#### Exercise 2 (Чтение с пониманием деталей текста)
1. **Вопрос 1:** *How did Tom find his way out of the cave?*
* **Правильный вариант: 4.**
* **Обоснование:** В тексте говорится: *«...when he glimpsed a far-off speck that looked like daylight; dropped the line and pushed his head and shoulders through a small hole...»* (он заметил вдалеке пятнышко, похожее на дневной свет). Это соответствует варианту *He saw a light at the end of a tunnel*.
2. **Вопрос 2:** *At first, Tom couldn't convince Becky to follow him out of the cave because she...*
* **Правильный вариант: 2.**
* **Обоснование:** В тексте указано: *«...she told him not to bother her with such stuff, for she was tired, and knew she was going to die, and wanted to.»* Бекки была истощена, смирилась со смертью и потеряла всякую надежду (*had lost all hope*).
3. **Вопрос 3:** *The first people that Tom and Becky saw when they emerged were surprised that...*
* **Правильный вариант: 2.**
* **Обоснование:** Лодочники сначала не поверили Тому: *«...the men didn’t believe the wild tale at first, "because," said they, "you are five miles down the river below the valley the cave is in"...»* Они удивились, что дети оказались так далеко от входа в пещеру (*travelled so far from the mouth of the cave*).
4. **Вопрос 4:** *The expression 'tracked out' at the end of the first paragraph means...*
* **Правильный вариант: 1.**
* **Обоснование:** Фраза *«Judge Thatcher and the handful of searchers with him were tracked out, in the cave, by the twine clews...»* означает, что судью Тэтчера и поисковиков **нашли/разыскали** (*found*) по оставленным ими нитям.
5. **Вопрос 5:** *Which of the following is NOT true about Tom and Becky during the week after the escape?*
* **Правильный вариант: 4.**
* **Обоснование:** Утверждение о том, что они оба полностью поправились к воскресенью — неверно. В тексте сказано: *«Becky did not leave her room until Sunday, and then she looked as if she had passed through a wasting illness»* (Бекки выглядела так, словно перенесла изнурительную болезнь, то есть не восстановилась до конца).
6. **Вопрос 6:** *Tom didn't tell Huckleberry Finn about his adventure at first because...*
* **Правильный вариант: 2.**
* **Обоснование:** В первые дни после спасения Тома просто не пускали в комнату к больному Геку: *«...went to see him on Friday, but could not be admitted to the bedroom; neither could he on Saturday or Sunday»* (*he wasn't allowed to visit him*).
7. **Вопрос 7:** *Judge Thatcher threw water in Tom's face to...*
* **Правильный вариант: 4.**
* **Обоснование:** Узнав, что пещеру заперли вместе с Индейцем Джо внутри, Том побледнел как полотно от шока (*«Tom turned as white as a sheet»*). Воду плеснули ему в лицо, чтобы привести его в чувства (*to help him to recover from shock*).
