Задание 19. For items 1–15, read the text below and decide which answer best fits each gap. There is an example at the beginning…
Spelling (0) presents a major problem to many students – and, indeed, native speakers – of English. This is (1)___(just, hardly, nearly, strongly)surprising when you consider just how illogical the English spelling (2)___(system, procedure, method, schedule) is. The spelling of such basic words as right, through, once, and who seems to (3)___(hold, keep, carry, bear) no relation to their (4)___(voice, speech, vocation, pronunciation) . And how can the words go, sew, and though all rhyme with (5)___(the, every, each, one) other?
There have been attempts in the (6)___(history, years, past, ages) to reform English spelling. The playwright George Bernard Shaw was an enthusiastic (7)___(campaigner, demonstrator, champion,
candidate) for a more phonetic approach. In a clever illustration of the absurdity of English spelling he suggested that the word fish be (8)___(described, represented, signed, written) by the letters ‘ghoti’: the gh from enough, the o from women, and the ti from nation. When he died in 1950, he (9)___(inherited, left, gave, divided)a large part of his estate to promote spelling reform.
So why do we (10)___(insist, continue, keep, persist) in spelling words the way we do, (11)___(in spite, despite, however, although) the efforts of reformers like Shaw? One reason is that we are too (12)___(accustomed, used, friendly, familiar) with the words as they are currently spelled. It is certain that any change in the rules (13)___(would, might, ought, should) be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to (14)___(require, enforce, make, oblige) . Another is that there is (15)___(many, quite, such, so) a variety of regional accents within the English speaking world that it would be unfair to select just one as the standard model for spelling.
Ответ: (1)___nearly, (2)___system, (3)___bear, (4)___pronunciation, (5)___each, (6)___history, (7)___campaigner, (8)___written, (9)___left, (10)___keep, (11)___despite, (12)___familiar, (13)___would, (14)___enforce, (15)___ such.
