Задания части А. For questions A1-A7, read the text and choose the best answer (1, 2, 3 or 4) I m not on the Menu! Unlike humans, who just need to open the fridge door or pop into the nearest supermarket whenever they feel hungry, animals across the world spend endless hours every day hunting down their next meal. Of course, the animals they are hunting do their very best to avoid ending up on the dinner plate! It s a constant battle that requires great cunning on the part of the hunter and the hunted. Fortunately, however, nature has provided both contestants in the survival game with a whole bag of clever tricks. Just take a look at some of the amazing things animals do to escape the jaws of a predator. In the Indonesian Ocean, the mimic octopus is a feast for many sea creatures, but this master of disguise must first be identified by its hungry hunters. This task is not easy, as this particular octopus can reproduce the appearance and behavior of the other sea creatures with starling accuracy. It can transform its soft body into the shape of a sea snake, a lion fish, or a jellyfish. But why does the mimic octopus disguise itself as a sea snake or jellyfish? The answer is simply because these animals are highly poisonous and no other sea animal dares to approach them. On the island of Madagascar, the tomato frog has more than one creative way of avoiding the native snake population. One survival technique is its colour: bright

2 colouration in frogs is associated with skin toxins that make them poisonous and screams a visual warning to predators to stay away! Any snake unfortunate enough to ignore the danger sign and attack the frog will find its jaws glued together. Why? Well, the tomato frog produces enormous amounts of a thick sticky substance from its skin when it is grabbed by a snake. This glue causes the snake s eyes and mouth to gum up and leads it to releasing the tomato frog from its menacing jaws very quickly! Surprisingly, the tarantula spider is a tasty treat for a number of animals and to escape them it has come up with a crafty defence. The tarantula uses its back legs to throw barbed hairs at predators. Tarantulas kick the spiky hairs that cover their body into the air directing them in the path of their attacker. The resulting mist of hairs causes physical irritation when it lands on the predator s skin and eyes. The tarantula can then run away while its attacker is rubbing its sore skin and itchy eyes. There can be few ways of escaping a hunter more inventive than letting it think that you are one of them. In the sunny valleys of California, rock squirrels and ground squirrels use this strategy against rattlesnakes. These squirrels pick up pieces of shed rattlesnake skin, chew them and then lick their bodies in order to put the smell of the snake s skin on their fur! The rattlesnake odour masks the squirrel s own and, at night, the snake believes that another snake is in the squirrel s burrow rather than supper. Perhaps the most famous of animal smells, though, belongs to the skunk. Like the tomato frog, this cute creature uses its elegant black and white markings to keep predators at a distance. Any foolishly persistent predator aiming for a skunk snack will find itself sprayed with one of the most awful stinks in the animal kingdom. Resembling rotten eggs, garlic and burnt rubber, the smell is so sickeningly bad that it can deter a starving bear. Be very careful because if you get too close, the spray can even cause temporary blindness! Predator and prey are natural links in the food chain, but some of those links go to fascinating lengths to avoid being next on the menu. So the next time you are watching a wildlife programme about big cats on the lookout for lunch, think about what tricks those worried looking wildebeest might be thinking up to escape appearing as dessert after the zebra main course!

Полученную последовательность букв запишите в бланк ответов (например: ABCDEF). Ermac For such an important historical figure, little is known about the personal details of Ermac Timofeyevich. Not even his date of birth has been established 1. We do know that he was a Cossack who as a youth made a living as a pirate and rogue soldiers. After the Russian conquest of Kazan in the middle of the sixteenth century, expansion into Siberia became possible and a small band of Cossack fighters, led by Ermac, started their perilous journey in the autumn of The size of their task is demonstrated by the fact 2. The forces against Ermac, commanded by the Mongol Kuchum Khan and largely cinsisting of Tatars, were based in Qashliq, and the battle there came to be known as the key moment in the conquest of Siberia. Ermac managed to win, largely through superiority in modern weapons, but 3 it proved difficult to consolidate the victory. A long period of cat and mouse play took place centred around Qashliq but Kuchum was a crafty opponent and he eventually had Ermac killed an ambush. Legend has it 4 in heavy armour. The news of Ermac s death demoralized the Russians and they abandoned Qashliq to the Tatar defenders, who quickly resume control. The true legacy of Ermac was arguably economic rather than military. Stories of amazing land, rich in furs and natural resources, 5, reached Russian merchants and started a steady stream of trade and settlement. Mongol/Tatar control gradually weakend and while Qashliq was not retaken, a new town, Tobolsk, was founded a mere twenty kilometers away. Certainly, Russian policy towards Siberia changed after Ermac. The Russians realized that the land was ethnically very diverse, 6. As for Ermac himself, he became known as the archetypal pioneer and adventurer who took a leap into the unknown to change the history and geography. A) because of the problem of supplying an army so far away B) that they did not have a single horse with them C) which he had opened up D) so it was relatively easy literally to divide and conquer E) what was so full of promise and potential F) which increases his mystique and romantic appeal G) that Ermac drowned trying to swim across a river
