There are a few true stories of women who fought for both good reasons and bad ones. One English woman soldier in the 17th century was Cristian Walsh, the wife of a man who was made to join the army, although he didn’t want to be a soldier. Cristian refused to accept the situation, unlike most women in those days. She cut off her hair, dressed as a man and joined the army, calling herself Kit Cavanagh, in order to look for her husband. It was 13 years before she found him and during that time she fought in several different countries. She was only discovered to be a woman when doctors were operating on her for an injury she had received while fighting. A rather different example, from around the same time, is Anne Bonney. It is not certain why she left Ireland, where she was born, and went to the islands which are now called the Bahamas. However, we know that when she got there, she fell in love with a sailor called John Rackham. She worked with John to steal a ship from the local port. They obviously chose the ship carefully, because it was the fastest one in the port at the time. For the next 10 years they sailed round the Caribbean, attacking other ships and stealing everything valuable from them, as well as taking sailors to help on their own ship. One day, Anne was surprised to discover that a boy they had taken off another ship in this way was really a young woman. Her name was Mary Read. She said she had dressed like a man to increase her opportunities, because in those days most women were expected to stay at home. Earlier, Mary had fought in the army, but had stopped pretending to be a man for a short time when she married a sailor who had realized she was a woman. Unfortunately, her husband died, and so Mary started to dress like a man once again and became a sailor. Anne and Mary continued their criminal career with John Rackham, but in the end their ship was caught by the navy. The two women went on fighting even after all the men were taken prisoners, but they avoided punishment and disappeared. Nobody knows what happened to them after. Perhaps they pretended to be men again and joined another ship. Определите, является ли утверждение верным, неверным или в тексте нет упоминания об этом. |

| ЛЕКСИКА И ГРАММАТИКА Прочитайте текст и выберите правильный вариант ответа A, B, C или D. Do you know how many languages there are in the world? According _____ (1) experts, the answer is about 7.000, but sadly, they predict that _____ (2) half are likely to die _____ (3) by the end of the century. This is often because speakers are _____ (4) or because the main language of a country has taken over. Luckily for us, some people are making extraordinary _____ (5) to record languages for history. One of them is Steven Bird. He developed a phone _____ (6) to translate Tembe, the language of a small tribe in Brazil’s Amazon region. Tembe speakers spoke into their phones and then other tribe members interpreted what they said into Portuguese. As Tembe has no written language, experts can turn it into a set of symbols to represent sounds, but this _____ (7) one hour for every minute of speech! The Piraha tribe also lives in the Amazon region of Brazil. Daniel Everett’s research into their language has shocked many people because some things about it are _____ (8) different from any other language. For example, Piraha has no words for colours and no _____ (9) to count. Perhaps most interesting of all, they do not speak about past. Everett’s explanation is that jungle life relies _____ (10) understanding and noticing everything around you at all times, so it is a _____ (11) of time thinking about the past. Globally, there are around 470 languages with fewer than 100 speakers, _____ (12) one Mexican language with only two speakers and unfortunately, they refuse to talk to one _____ (13)! The loss of so many languages means that we could end ___ (14) with only a few languages left. That would be sad _____ (15) languages are an important part of who we are. When they disappear, so do our traditions and culture. |
