Ниже представлены решения заданий с подробными пояснениями и переводом. --- ### **Итоговые ответы** #### **Exercise 1** * **Sample Knowledge:** I know that the Royal Observatory is located in Greenwich, London, and that the Prime Meridian passes through it. * **Two Questions:** 1. *Why was the Prime Meridian chosen to pass through Greenwich?* 2. *How did astronomers solve the problem of navigating at sea?* * **Answers from the text:** 1. Greenwich was chosen internationally because of the observatory’s long-standing reputation for accurate time calculation and astronomy. 2. They developed accurate clocks and used the stars to pinpoint coordinates and navigate ships safely. --- #### **Exercise 2 (RNE — Word Formation / Grammar)** 1. **calculation** *(или **is calculated** в зависимости от формулировки предложения в вашем издании)* 2. **touches** 3. **solving** *(или **to solve**)* 4. **their** 5. **travelled** *(или **had travelled** / **traveled**)* 6. **were not** *(или **weren't**)* 7. **divides** 8. **standing** 9. **largest** --- #### **Exercise 3 (Vocabulary & Sentences)** * **very intelligent** — **brilliant** * **not real** — **imaginary** * **find the exact position of** — **pinpoint** * **sail/steer** — **navigate** * **difficult** — **tricky** **Sentences based on the text:** 1. **Brilliant:** *The brilliant scientists at the Royal Observatory worked hard to solve complex navigational problems.* 2. **Imaginary:** *The Prime Meridian is an imaginary line that separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.* 3. **Pinpoint:** *Sailors used celestial navigation to pinpoint their exact location at sea.* 4. **Navigate:** *Without precise timekeeping, it was extremely dangerous to navigate ships across the ocean.* 5. **Tricky:** *Calculating longitude was a tricky problem that troubled explorers for centuries.* --- #### **Exercise 4 (Antonyms)** * **Para A:** * *unknown* (adj) $\rightarrow$ **famous** * *real* (adj) $\rightarrow$ **imaginary** * **Para B:** * *easy* (adv/adj) $\rightarrow$ **tricky** * *spread* (v) $\rightarrow$ **pinpoint** * *changeable* (adj) $\rightarrow$ **fixed** * **Para C:** * *rarely* (adv) $\rightarrow$ **often** * *tiniest* (adj) $\rightarrow$ **largest** --- #### **Exercise 5 (Speaking)** **Three things I have learnt from the text:** 1. The Royal Observatory in Greenwich marks the starting point of every time zone in the world (the Prime Meridian, $0^\circ$ longitude). 2. Before accurate clocks were invented, sailors struggled to determine their exact longitude at sea, which often led to shipwrecks. 3. Visitors can stand with one foot in the Eastern Hemisphere and one foot in the Western Hemisphere at the same time. --- #### **Exercise 6 (ICT — Writing about an observatory/museum in Russia)** **The Pulkovo Observatory** > The Pulkovo Observatory, located near Saint Petersburg, is the principal astronomical observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded in 1839 by Tsar Nicholas I and led by the renowned astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve, it quickly gained international fame for its precise star catalogues and was called the "astronomical capital of the world." Today, it remains an important scientific research centre. Visitors can take guided tours, visit the Astronomical Museum to see historic telescopes and astronomical clocks, observe the night sky through powerful optics, and learn about the groundbreaking contributions of Russian scientists to the study of the universe. --- ### **Пояснения к решению** 1. **Ex. 2 (Грамматика и словообразование):** * **1 (calculation):** От глагола *calculate* образуется существительное с суффиксом *-tion*. * **2 (touches):** Present Simple (3-е лицо, ед. ч., подлежащее *it* / *line*). * **3 (solving):** После предлогов (например, *in / for*) используется герундий (*-ing*). * **4 (their):** Притяжательное местоимение от *they* (*их путь* $\rightarrow$ *their path*). * **5 (travelled / had travelled):** Прошедшее время для описания исторического действия в прошлом. * **6 (were not):** Отрицательная форма глагола *to be* во множественном числе прошедшего времени (*clocks were not...*). * **7 (divides):** Present Simple для выражения непреложного факта (меридиан делит Землю на полушария). * **8 (standing):** Причастие настоящего времени (*being photographed standing...*). * **9 (largest):** Превосходная степень односложного прилагательного *large* с суффиксом *-est*. 2. **Ex. 3 & 4 (Лексика):** * Внимательно сопоставляйте контекст: *imaginary* (воображаемый) противопоставляется *real* (реальный), *pinpoint* означает «точно указать точку на карте/определить», а *tricky* передает значение «заковыристый, сложный».
