READING Time: 45 minutes (20 points) Task 1 For items 1–10, read the passage below and choose option A, B, C or D which best fits according to the text. Discovering your ancestral roots: a path to truly feel like yourself Greta Solomon, a writer, gained a richer sense of self when she discovered her ancestors were gifted storytellers too. I’ve always been proud of my identity as a person of Black Caribbean origin. My mother had left Jamaica aged 10 to join her father and stepmother in England. Similarly, my father left the tiny Caribbean island of Nevis as a teenager, to study maths and engineering. They met, married and settled in a suburb of London, where I was born and raised. I knew the stories of my paternal great-grandfather who was born at the tail end of slavery in St Kitts, the twin island to Nevis. He grew up to be a successful entrepreneur in the construction industry and was instrumental in setting up the first trade union in St Kitts. That was all well documented. But I knew nothing of my African ancestry before the transatlantic slave trade until I decided to take a DNA test that enables you to discover the specific ethnicity of your mother’s maternal line, up to 2,000 years ago. Three weeks later, I found out that I’m descended from the Fang and Tikar people of Cameroon and Gabon. So much of popular psychology focuses on the need to individuate and selfactualise. But the need to belong to a race, culture and community is an integral part of our sense of self. So, how is identity formed? “Identity development is an extremely complex process,” explains Dr Sarah Gaither. “These include where you’re living, messages your parents, peers or teachers give you, and encounters and experiences where someone may question you or notice something different about you. Usually, these encounters cause someone to go and learn about whatever that identity or difference may be. They either accept that part of themselves by learning to internalise it, or decide that the identity doesn’t match their sense of self.” Since the age of six, I’d known I was a writer, after a teacher praised a story I wrote. My mother had taught me the alphabet before I went to school and I quickly started reading. She helped nurture my love of literature by taking me to the library every week. By the age I knew I wanted to be a journalist. I was also fascinated by the mechanics of songwriting, and would listen to Madonna songs on repeat, pulling apart the lyrics to understand how to construct my own songs. I’ve been a working journalist

for eight years, but I don’t think my Mum has ever read a single article I’ve written – she’s always showed zero interest in this core part of me. Discovering that the Tikar people of Cameroon were known for their artistry and storytelling made me realise my deep-rooted love of writing was grounded in something bigger than me. According to the Roots Revealed blog, many Tikar people were gifted in writing, acting, dancing and music. Despite my mother’s lack of interest I could believe there was a set of ancestors who would have embraced my writerly self and encouraged me to share my stories. Surely, finding and discovering your ancestral roots can bring a new way of thinking about your identities, and past and present belonging. But I was surprised to learn that from the point of view of science there is no such thing as race – it’s a social construct. A research carried out by Dr Keon West suggests that generally, people are good at the things they practise, regardless of their ancestry. He writes, “That said, it can be helpful to remember that the world is full of a large variety of diverse people, and that what is considered weird in one culture is perfectly normal in another. British men, according to stereotypes, notoriously hate dancing. A British man who can’t resist the call of dance might take comfort in discovering that he is part Cuban, Trinidadian or Russian, as this can remind him that there are places in the world where dancing is a normal, valued trait in men. This would transform him, in his own mind, from an odd Brit, to a dancer from a line of dancers.” After leaving her homeland, my mother never returned to Jamaica. She said the circumstances of her leaving were too sad to ever return. Shortly after taking that DNA test, I visited Jamaica for the first time, finally able to piece together some parts of my and my mother’s history. Of her life, I have fragments – photos, stories, hearsay – and events forever etched in my consciousness that remain largely unspoken. I think I will be able to put them all together and learn more about her. Knowing her genetic beginning (and mine) gives me something else I can grasp on to. 1. What does Greta highlight as missing from her knowledge about the family background? A) The specific career paths of her great-grandparents. B) Information about other relatives living in Europe. C) Details about her earlier roots before recorded family history. D) The reasons why their parents chose to marry in London. 2. What does Greta’s great-grandfather seem to represent in the story? A) An example of someone who made a difference. B) A symbol of conflict between different cultures. C) A person who disconnected from their native region. D) A symbol of freedom for his former slave family on Nevis. 4

Task 2 For items 1–10, read the passage below and choose which of the sentences A–K fit into the numbered gaps in the text. There is one extra sentence which does not fit in any of the gaps. How I learned to love my alarm clock Sleep is personal, and no single wake up device will suit everyone. Traditional alarms that blast you awake don’t always align with your body’s natural rhythms. (1) ______. For me, this device has benefited my sleep-wake cycle more than any other product – perhaps excluding my memory foam mattress. I’d heard of sunrise alarm clocks some time before but little did I suspect they could resolve my waking woes. So, here they are. (2) ______. The light interacts with our circadian rhythms, as the sun does when it rises, so we wake up biologically prepared for the day. As a person interested in tech, I often review fascinating and useful gadgets, from electric heaters to smart drinking fountains for cats. (3) ______. Sunrise alarm clocks soon proved to fall into this exclusive category. I’ve been a faithful user of sunrise alarm clocks for a year now. (4) ______. Instead of doing it abruptly to a jarring beep in a pitch-dark room, a sunrise alarm clock slowly and gradually lights up my space. The effect reminds me of the gentle feeling of waking up at dawn while camping in the middle of summer. (5) ______. Research backs up my personal experiences with sunrise alarm clocks. (6) ______. So using a sunrise alarm clock can be an easy but powerful way to regulate your body’s circadian rhythm so you feel more rested during the day and more ready for sleep at night. (7) ______. No one doubts that. 6

Any sunrise clock has individual settings. (8) ______. To wind down at night I do the whole process in reverse. (9) ______. Consistent bedtime and wakeup routines are a great way to help reset your body’s sleep cycle and my sunrise clock is a huge part of mine! After using a sunrise alarm clock for a year, I’ve noticed I feel more alert in the mornings. (10) ______. It’s been a small change that’s made a big difference in how I start and end my day. A) They say exposure to bright light in the morning can help boost the production of serotonin, a hormone that regulates mood, and suppresses the production of melatonin, the hormone that helps us feel sleepy. B) I’m currently awakening to the pinkish hues of a “Spring Sunrise” lightscape, but you can choose from a variety of color schemes, as well as different waking-up sounds like chirping birds, flutes, chimes, bells and more. C) Essentially, they’re a combination of alarm clock and light-therapy device that glows with increasing brightness as your wake-up time approaches. D) Therefore, your day no longer begins with eyes on-screen – and the road from here to doom scrolling is about the length of a thumbprint. E) And I can tell you from my own experience that they have truly transformed my attitude about mornings and the process of waking up. F) I’m more energized though I’m still not jumping out of bed with enthusiasm, but I stay awake once the alarm goes off instead of slipping back into sleep. G) If waking up feels like a struggle every morning, a sunrise alarm clock might be just the thing to ease the transition. H) A healthy sleep-wake cycle is crucial for quality sleep, and quality sleep is essential for our health. I) This is what I really appreciate at times of the year when I need or want to wake up long before sunrise. J) The clock sets off with a slowly dimming light and gentle sounds that tell my body and brain it’s time for bed. K) It’s enjoyable – but only a few of the products change my lifestyle in the long run.

USE OF ENGLISH Time: 60 minutes (40 points) Task 1 (15 points) For items 1–15, read the text below and look carefully at each line.

V a The King's Speech
00
“The King's Speech” is a richly enjoyable, instantly absorbing true-life drama about the introverted stammerer King George VI and his exuberant Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue. These characters are performed with a pure theatrical gusto by Colin Firth as the miserably afflicted monarch, Geoffrey Rush as the twinkly eyed speech coach and Helena Bonham Carter as the Queen. The social and political background, having acutely observed and carefully woven into the film's fabric, is the Depression at home, the rise of fascism abroad, and the arrival of the mass media as a major force in our lives. Central to the dramatic action are four crucial incidents: the death in 1936 of George V, the first monarch to use the radio to address his subjects; the accession to the throne of his eldest son as Edward VIII and his almost immediate abdication in order not to marry American double divorcee Wallis Simpson; the crowning of his successor, George VI; and finally, in 1939, the outbreak of a war for which the king and queen became figureheads of immeasurable national significance alongside with their prime minister, Winston Churchill. Although the film involves a man overcoming so a serious disability, it is neither triumphalist nor sentimental. 8

The themes are courage, responsibility, and the necessity to place duty above personal pleasure or its contentment. The film begins with a brief prologue in which both Bertie as Duke of York (Colin Firth) and his contemporary audience endure agonies of embarrassment as he attempts to deliver a speech at Wembley Stadium during the 1924 Empire exhibition. Firth's face is a picture of misery in the opening scene, under his top hat, as if being attending his own funeral. It is his first public appearance, required to speak through a microphone to vast crowds at the empire exhibition at Wembley Stadium, and by via live radio to the nation. His stammer means he can hardly get a word out of, and the nation cringes with embarrassment. His formidable father makes clear to him that this is a new media age. It's not just a matter of looking frightfully regal on a horse; the monarch has required to be able to master the radio microphone. The rest takes place between 1934 when his wife (Helena Bonham Carter) arranges for him appointment to see Logue, the unorthodox therapist, and shortly after the beginning of the war when he makes a crucial live broadcast to the world from Buckingham Palace. Across a great social gulf, they become friends, the king gaining confidence and humanity, deeply affected by the first commoner he's befriended. Slowly, Bertie opens up to his new friend about his unhappy childhood, and doesn't notice how his speech is getting improving. Not everyone's going to like this film: some may find it excessively royalist. Because George VI's talking cure is gripping. Overall, the film is a major achievement, with Firth presenting us with a great profile in courage. He finds as many different aspects of stammering as the number of ways of photographing sand explored by Freddie Young in Lawrence of Arabia or John Seale in The English Patient. And as they did so, he deserves an Oscar.

He writes, “That said, it can be helpful to remember that the world is full of a large variety of diverse people, and that what is considered weird in one culture is perfectly normal in another. British men, according to stereotypes, notoriously hate dancing. A British man who can’t resist the call of dance might take comfort in discovering that he is part Cuban, Trinidadian or Russian, as this can remind him that there are places in the world where dancing is a normal, valued trait in men. This would transform him, in his own mind, from an odd Brit, to a dancer from a line of dancers.” After leaving her homeland, my mother never returned to Jamaica. She said the circumstances of her leaving were too sad to ever return. Shortly after taking that DNA test, I visited Jamaica for the first time, finally able to piece together some parts of my and my mother’s history. Of her life, I have fragments – photos, stories, hearsay – and events forever etched in my consciousness that remain largely unspoken. I think I will be able to put them all together and learn more about her. Knowing her genetic beginning (and mine) gives me something else I can grasp on to. 1. What does Greta highlight as missing from her knowledge about the family background? A) The specific career paths of her great-grandparents. B) Information about other relatives living in Europe. C) Details about her earlier roots before recorded family history. D) The reasons why their parents chose to marry in London. 2. What does Greta’s great-grandfather seem to represent in the story? A) An example of someone who made a difference. B) A symbol of conflict between different cultures. C) A person who disconnected from their native region.

Task 2 For items 1–10, read the passage below and choose which of the sentences A–K fit into the numbered gaps in the text. There is one extra sentence which does not fit in any of the gaps. How I learned to love my alarm clock Sleep is personal, and no single wake up device will suit everyone. Traditional alarms that blast you awake don’t always align with your body’s natural rhythms. (1) ______. For me, this device has benefited my sleep-wake cycle more than any other product – perhaps excluding my memory foam mattress. I’d heard of sunrise alarm clocks some time before but little did I suspect they could resolve my waking woes. So, here they are. (2) ______. The light interacts with our circadian rhythms, as the sun does when it rises, so we wake up biologically prepared for the day. As a person interested in tech, I often review fascinating and useful gadgets, from electric heaters to smart drinking fountains for cats. (3) ______. Sunrise alarm clocks soon proved to fall into this exclusive category. I’ve been a faithful user of sunrise alarm clocks for a year now. (4) ______. Instead of doing it abruptly to a jarring beep in a pitch-dark room, a sunrise alarm clock slowly and gradually lights up my space. The effect reminds me of the gentle feeling of waking up at dawn while camping in the middle of summer. (5) ______. Research backs up my personal experiences with sunrise alarm clocks. (6) ______. So using a sunrise alarm clock can be an easy but powerful way to regulate your body’s circadian rhythm so you feel more rested during the day and more ready for sleep at night. (7) ______. No one doubts that. 6

Any sunrise clock has individual settings. (8) ______. To wind down at night I do the whole process in reverse. (9) ______. Consistent bedtime and wakeup routines are a great way to help reset your body’s sleep cycle and my sunrise clock is a huge part of mine! After using a sunrise alarm clock for a year, I’ve noticed I feel more alert in the mornings. (10) ______. It’s been a small change that’s made a big difference in how I start and end my day. A) They say exposure to bright light in the morning can help boost the production of serotonin, a hormone that regulates mood, and suppresses the production of melatonin, the hormone that helps us feel sleepy. B) I’m currently awakening to the pinkish hues of a “Spring Sunrise” lightscape, but you can choose from a variety of color schemes, as well as different waking-up sounds like chirping birds, flutes, chimes, bells and more. C) Essentially, they’re a combination of alarm clock and light-therapy device that glows with increasing brightness as your wake-up time approaches. D) Therefore, your day no longer begins with eyes on-screen – and the road from here to doom scrolling is about the length of a thumbprint. E) And I can tell you from my own experience that they have truly transformed my attitude about mornings and the process of waking up. F) I’m more energized though I’m still not jumping out of bed with enthusiasm, but I stay awake once the alarm goes off instead of slipping back into sleep. G) If waking up feels like a struggle every morning, a sunrise alarm clock might be just the thing to ease the transition. H) A healthy sleep-wake cycle is crucial for quality sleep, and quality sleep is essential for our health. I) This is what I really appreciate at times of the year when I need or want to wake up long before sunrise. J) The clock sets off with a slowly dimming light and gentle sounds that tell my body and brain it’s time for bed. K) It’s enjoyable – but only a few of the products change my lifestyle in the long run. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 G C K E I A H B J F

USE OF ENGLISH Time: 60 minutes (40 points) Task 1 (15 points) For Items 1–15, read the text below and look carefully at each line. Some of the lines are correct, and some have a word which should not be there. If a line is correct put a tick. Use letter "V" as a tick. If a line has a word which should not be there, write the word in a given space. There are two examples at the beginning (0 and 00). Example: 0 00
V a The King's Speech

“The King's Speech” is a richly enjoyable, instantly absorbing true-life drama about the introverted stammerer King George VI and his exuberant Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue. These characters are performed with a pure theatrical gusto by Colin Firth as the miserably afflicted monarch, Geoffrey Rush as the twinkly eyed speech coach and Helena Bonham Carter as the Queen. The social and political background, having acutely observed and carefully woven into the film's fabric, is the Depression at home, the rise of fascism abroad, and the arrival of the mass media as a major force in our lives. Central to the dramatic action are four crucial incidents: the death in 1936 of George V, the first monarch to use the radio to address his subjects; the accession to the throne of his eldest son as Edward VIII and his almost immediate abdication in order not to marry American double divorcee Wallis Simpson; the crowning of his successor, George VI; and finally, in 1939, the outbreak of a war for which the king and queen became figureheads of immeasurable national significance alongside with their prime minister, Winston Churchill. Although the film involves a man overcoming so a serious disability, it is neither triumphalist nor sentimental. 8

The themes are courage, responsibility, and the necessity to place its duty above personal pleasure or its contentment. The film begins with a brief prologue in which both Bertie as Duke of York (Colin Firth) and his contemporary audience endure V agonies of embarrassment as he attempts to deliver a speech at Wembley Stadium during the 1924 Empire exhibition. Firth's face is a picture of misery in the opening scene, under his being top hat, as if being attending his own funeral. It is his first public appearance, required to speak through a by microphone to vast crowds at the empire exhibition at Wembley Stadium, and by via live radio to the nation. His stammer means he can hardly get a word out of, and the nation of cringes with embarrassment. His formidable father makes clear to him that this is a new media age. It's not just a matter of looking frightfully regal on a horse; required the monarch has required to be able to master the radio microphone. The rest takes place between 1934 when his wife (Helena Bonham Carter) arranges for him appointment to see Logue, the unorthodox therapist, and shortly after the beginning of the war appointment when he makes a crucial live broadcast to the world from Buckingham Palace. Across a great social gulf, they become friends, the king gaining V confidence and humanity, deeply affected by the first commoner he's befriended. Slowly, Bertie opens up to his new friend about his unhappy getting childhood, and doesn't notice how his speech is getting improving. Not everyone's going to like this film: some may find it Because excessively royalist. Because George VI's talking cure is gripping. Overall, the film is a major achievement, with Firth presenting us with a great profile in courage. He finds as many different aspects so of stammering as the number of ways of photographing sand explored by Freddie Young in Lawrence of Arabia or John Seale in The English Patient. And as they did so, he deserves an Oscar.

ВСЕРОССИЙСКАЯ ОЛИМПИАДА ШКОЛЬНИКОВ АНГЛИЙСКИЙ ЯЗЫК. 2025–2026 уч. г. МУНИЦИПАЛЬНЫЙ ЭТАП. 10–11 КЛАССЫ ТЕКСТ ДЛЯ АУДИРОВАНИЯ Audioscript Listening comprehension For items 1–10 listen to a talk by Gina Purvis, a pilot, and decide whether the statements (1–10) are TRUE, or FALSE according to the text you hear. You will hear the text twice. You have 20 seconds to study the statements. (pause 20 seconds) Now we begin. Hello everyone. My name is Gina Purvis and I work as a pilot for a commercial airline. I’m here to tell you about my career. When I was about ten, I dreamt of being a flight attendant. Then the dream moved on to being a vet and working with animals, which actually I would have hated because I hate seeing animals in pain. In fact, after school, I went to train as a teacher and after I qualified I worked for a few years, but not with any great enthusiasm, I must say. So how did I get started with flying? Well, my mom bought me some flying lessons for a birthday present and I loved it from the start. I’ve been a commercial pilot for ten years now, and captain for the last five. The airline I work for demands that pilots have a minimum of three hundred flying hours experience initially, and to be eligible to become a captain, it’s three thousand hours. At the moment, I’m flying people to their holiday destinations around the Mediterranean. Now, before I take off I have to consult the “Notices to Pilots”, as they’re called. That gives me news of airports having any problems. For example, one of the runways at London Gatwick is having work done at the moment. I also have to do some calculations to work out the weight of the plane, plus crates of cargo and the number of passengers. I’m often asked if I have a degree in maths as I need to do so many calculations, but I haven’t. Like me, most of my colleagues have studied science at the university. You do need to have a good head for figures, though. I often think it would have been good to study people management, too. Before I take off, I just need to check if there are any small defects on the plane. I receive a report of anything I need to be aware of, in which case I call for assistance. It can be just a little thing like a broken ice chiller in the front cabin and, if there are no real problems then we are ready for the people to come on board.

I’ve visited some wonderful places. What I like best, though, is flying at night. If the skies are clear, you can have stars above you and the lights of cities below you.

You will hear the text only once. You now have 25 seconds to study the questions. (pause 25 seconds) Now we begin. Mark: So, what do you think of San Francisco? Allie: It’s beautiful, Mark!
