Introductory words and phrases

Task formulation:

Choose your own subordinating conjunction, which should take the place of the gap in the third (3) sentence of the text. Write down this union.

(1)According to the blue-de-ni-yams of modern research-to-va-te-leys in humans, on the basis information on the Internet, the “nature” of reading. (2) Develop a focus on superficial, skimpy reading, and the skill of attention that remains unused The ability to read a long text disappears, like any ability that is not trained. (3)<...>consciousness, accustomed to working with small pieces and separate fragments that are not connected with each other, copes poorly with large texts, requiring time and attention.

Correct answer: due to this<ИЛИ>That's why

A comment:

The word “therefore” and the like are not suitable, since they would need to be followed by a comma; these are introductory words that are a conclusion from the chain of evidence. We are required to choose a subordinating conjunction.

The conjunction “due to this” can be replaced with “therefore”.

4) unions ( mostly creative)

(1) It was Christmas Eve...

(2) The guard of the resettlement barracks, a retired soldier, with a gray beard like mouse fur, named Semyon Dmitrievich, or simply Mitrich, approached his wife and said cheerfully:

- (3) Well, woman, what a trick I came up with! (4) I say, the holiday is coming... (5) And for everyone it is a holiday, everyone rejoices at it... (6) Everyone has their own: who has new clothes for the holiday, who will have feasts... (7) For example, your room will be clean, I will also have my own pleasure: I’ll buy myself some sausages!..

- (8) So what? – the old woman said indifferently.

“(9) Otherwise,” Mitrich sighed again, “it will be like a holiday for everyone, but, I say, for the kids, it turns out there is no real holiday... (10) I look at them - and my heart bleeds.” : oh, I think it’s wrong!.. (11) It’s known, orphans... (12) Neither mother, nor father, nor relatives... (13) It’s awkward!.. (14) So I thought of this: it’s necessary amuse the children! (17) They’ll bring a Christmas tree, decorate it with candles and gifts, and their kids will just jump for joy!.. (18) The forest is close to us - I’ll cut down the Christmas tree and give the kids such fun!

(19) Mitrich winked cheerfully, smacked his lips and went out into the yard.

(20) Wooden houses covered with snow and covered with boards were scattered around the yard here and there. (21)C early spring and until late autumn settlers passed through the city. (22) There were so many of them, and they were so poor, that good people built these houses for them, which Mitrich guarded. (23) By autumn the houses were vacated, and by winter there was no one left except Mitrich and Agrafena and a few more children, no one knows whose. (24) These children’s parents either died or went to an unknown place. (25) Mitrich had eight such children this winter. (26) He settled them all together in one house, where he was going to have a holiday today.

(27) First of all, Mitrich went to the church warden to ask for some cinders of church candles to decorate the Christmas tree. (28) Then he went to the resettlement official. (29) But the official was busy; without seeing Mitrich, he ordered to say “thank you” to him and sent fifty dollars.

(30) Returning home, Mitrich did not say a word to his wife, but just chuckled silently and, looking at the coin, figured out when and how to arrange everything.

(31) “Eight children,” Mitrich reasoned, bending the clumsy fingers on his hands, “that means eight candies...”

(32)...It was a clear frosty afternoon. (33) With an ax in his belt, in a sheepskin coat and a hat, Mitrich returned from the forest, dragging a Christmas tree on his shoulder. (34) He was having fun, although he was tired. (35) In the morning he went to the city to buy candy for the children, and sausage for himself and his wife, which he was a passionate hunter for, but he rarely bought it and ate it only on holidays.

(36) Mitrich brought the tree and sharpened the end with an ax; then he adjusted it so that it would stand, and when everything was ready, he dragged it to the children in the barracks.

(37) When the tree warmed up, the room smelled of freshness and resin. (38) The children’s faces, sad and thoughtful, suddenly became cheerful... (39) No one yet understood what the old man was doing, but everyone was already anticipating pleasure, and Mitrich looked cheerfully at the eyes fixed on him from all sides.

(40) When the candles and sweets were already on the tree, Mitrich thought: the decoration was sparse. (41) No matter how keen he was on his idea, he could not hang anything on the tree except eight candies.

(42) Suddenly such a thought came to him that he even stopped. (43) Although he loved sausage very much and treasured every piece, the desire to treat him to glory overpowered all his considerations:

- (44) I’ll cut each one a circle and hang it on a string. (45) And a slice of bread, and also for the Christmas tree.

(46) As soon as it got dark, the tree was lit. (47) It smelled of melted wax, resin and herbs. (48) Always gloomy and thoughtful, the children screamed joyfully, looking at the lights. (49) Their eyes perked up, their faces blushed. (50) Laughter, screams and chatter enlivened for the first time this gloomy room, where from year to year only complaints and tears were heard. (51) Even Agrafena threw up her hands in surprise, and Mitrich, rejoicing from the bottom of his heart, clapped his hands. (52) Admiring the Christmas tree and the children having fun, he smiled. (53) And then he commanded:

- (54) Public! (55) Come! (56) Taking a piece of bread and sausage from the tree, Mitrich dressed all the children, then took Agrafena for himself.

- (57) Look, the orphans are chewing! (58) Look, they’re chewing! (59) Look! (60) Rejoice! - he shouted. (61) And then Mitrich took the harmonica and, forgetting his old age, started dancing with the children. (62) The children jumped, squealed and twirled merrily, and Mitrich did not lag behind them. (63) His soul was filled with such joy that he did not remember whether such a holiday had ever happened in his life.

- (64) Public! – he finally exclaimed. – (65) The candles are burning out. (66) Get yourself some candy, and it’s time to go to bed!

(67) The children screamed joyfully and rushed to the tree, and Mitrich, touched almost to the point of tears, whispered to Agrafena:

- (68) Good!.. (69) We can say directly: right!..

Explanation.

1. The holiday is very important for people. And this applies to both children and adults. Children can sincerely rejoice and have fun, this helps them forget about all the troubles and feel happy. And adults, thanks to the holiday, forget about age, about problems, and plunge into childhood, happy and carefree.

2. The problem of mercy. (What is mercy? How does it manifest itself? Do a person’s financial capabilities affect the ability to be merciful?)

2. Charity is the ability to care for others. Organizing a holiday is also an act of mercy, since it is an attempt to give children a piece of happiness. A person, even alone, can do a truly good deed, show mercy, because this feeling comes from within, it does not require large financial expenses, a person is driven only by the desire to help, please, make happy.

3. The problem of a good deed, the role of a dear deed in a person’s life. (What is the role of a good deed in our lives?)

3. When a person does good and brings happiness to others, this makes him happy.

* To formulate a problem, the examinee may use vocabulary that differs from that presented in the table. The problem can also be cited from the original text or indicated using links


Task No. 2 in the Unified State Exam in Russian is aimed at identifying the ability of graduates to correctly use various means of connecting text sentences. It is performed on the basis of the same text that was given in task No. 1. The specially omitted word, which is a connective, is the correct word, suitable in meaning, which students must now choose on their own, knowing only the part of speech.

In many cases the right word it just “asks” for empty place, however, to correctly complete the task, for which you can get one primary score, you need to have a good understanding of the means of communication of the proposal.

Theory for task No. 2 of the Unified State Exam in Russian

Means of connecting sentences in the text

Lexical means of communication:
  1. Prepetition of the same word – lexical repetition.

    Around the city there are low hills forests, mighty, untouched. IN forests There were large meadows and remote lakes with huge old pine trees along the banks.

  2. Similar words.

    Of course, such a master knew his worth, felt the difference between himself and not so talented, but he knew perfectly well another difference - the difference between himself and a more gifted person. Respect for the more capable and experienced is the first sign talents.

  3. Synonyms.

    We saw in the forest moose. Elk I walked along the edge of the forest and was not afraid of anyone.

  4. Antonyms.

    Nature has a lot friends. Foes she has significantly less.

  5. Descriptive phrases.

    They built a highway. A noisy, fast-moving river of life connected the region with the capital.

Grammatical means of communication:
  1. Personal pronouns.
  2. Demonstrative pronouns(such, that, this)

    A dark sky with bright, needle-like stars. Such stars appear only in autumn.

  3. Pronominal adverbs(there, so, then, etc.)

    He [Nikolai Rostov] knew that this story contributed to the glorification of our weapons, and therefore it was necessary to pretend that you did not doubt it. So he did.

  4. Unions(usually creative)

    It was May 1945. Spring thundered. The people and the land rejoiced. Moscow saluted the heroes. And joy flew into the sky like lights.

  5. Particles
  6. Introductory words and designs(in one word, so, firstly, etc.)

    Young people spoke about everything Russian with contempt or indifference and, jokingly, predicted for Russia the fate of the Confederation of the Rhine. In a word, society was pretty disgusting.

  7. Unity of tense forms of verbs- the use of identical forms of grammatical tense, which indicate simultaneity or sequence of situations.

    Imitation of the French tone of the times of Louis XV was in vogue. Love for the fatherland seemed pedantry. The wise men of that time praised Napoleon with fanatical servility and joked about our failures.

  8. Incomplete sentences and ellipsis, referring to previous text elements:

    Gorkin cuts the bread and distributes the slices. He puts it on me too: it’s huge, you’ll cover your whole face.

  9. Syntactic parallelism– identical construction of several adjacent sentences.

    To be able to speak is an art. Listening is a culture.

We are most interested in grammatical means of communication, namely points 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, since usually either introductory constructions or parts of speech such as conjunctions, particles, adverbs are missing.

Words that are most often missing in the text:

  1. Besides– used to complement and expand the earlier sentence given;
  2. in other words– applies in the case when already known information is reported, but formulated differently;
  3. thus, therefore, thus– words necessary to summarize the above reasoning;
  4. for example like this– used when you need to enter an explanation of what was said earlier;
  5. vice versa– necessary for contrasting different information;
  6. first of all, on the one hand– display the order of the arguments;
  7. despite, although, in spite of– are used when something said in the sentence happens contrary to the facts given earlier;
  8. because, because, the thing is that– needed to explain the reasons for the previously mentioned phenomena;
  9. therefore, from here– help to draw a conclusion from the above;
  10. however, but, but- contrast one sentence to another;
  11. exactly, after all– are used to emphasize the meaning of some information, to clarify it;
  12. even– reinforcing particle;
  13. not by chance- "for this reason".
Algorithm for completing the task:
  • We read the text carefully.
  • We use the selection method - we will try to read the text with each of the proposed options and select the one that looks most harmonious.

Analysis of typical options for task No. 2 of the Unified State Examination in the Russian language

Second task of demo version 2018

(1) The consequence of the ongoing struggle for existence in the animal world is natural selection - a process that eliminates less adapted organisms and favors more adapted organisms. (2) In this competition, those representatives of the species who turn out to be the most viable, that is, adapted to specific living conditions, gain an advantage. (3)<…>

Which of the following words (combinations of words) should appear in the gap in the third (3) sentence of the text? Write down this word (combination of words).

On the other hand,

After all

Against,

Although

Despite this,

Execution algorithm:
  • The text talks about the laws of natural selection, that more viable animals have an advantage over weaker ones.
  • If you imagine that instead of spaces there are words and combinations of words on the other hand, on the contrary, although, despite this, which have the meaning of opposition, it turns out that the ability to produce healthy offspring is opposed to adaptability to the prevailing environmental conditions. This is an incorrect statement. On the contrary, the last sentence explains the reason for nature’s preference for more viable animals: After all they have a greater chance of leaving behind full-fledged offspring.

Answer: indeed.

  • In this example, everything is quite obvious - such a simple task may appear on the exam, which once again proves the possibility of every student passing it. high scores. There is a narrative in the text - a mention that after three years he easily carried a large bull. This clearly indicates that the missing word is "when".
  • Even if you try to substitute all the given options, it is clear that they are absolutely not suitable. Therefore, the answer is 1.

Second version of the task

(1) It is impossible to create a reliable flu vaccine, since the virus changes the composition of its shell proteins every year, against which the vaccine must train the immune system of the vaccinated person. (2) ... for every epidemic it is necessary to develop new option vaccines. (3) French immunologists from the University of Lyon decided to approach the problem from the other end: to block the activity not of the virus, but of the PAR-1 protein, which is present in the mucous membranes of the lungs and is involved in the process of their inflammation under the influence of viruses. (4) It is assumed that the new vaccine will be produced in the form of a nasal spray. (“Flu vaccine: a new approach”, “Science and Life”, No. 8 2013)

Which of the following words (combinations of words) should be in the blank in the second (2) sentence?

  1. If
  2. Although
  3. Because
  4. More than that,
  5. That's why
Execution algorithm:
  • The first sentence contains the cause, and the second effect: the virus changes the composition of proteins, and for each epidemic a new vaccine must be created. In our retelling of the main meaning of the text, the conjunction “and” is easily replaced by “therefore”; this word is the correct answer to the task.
  • However, you can try to substitute other options - for self-test. The word “if” is not suitable because the following “then” does not appear in the sentence. “Although” absolutely does not satisfy the meaning of the sentences; we can also talk about “because” and “in addition.”

Third version of the task

(1) Those who like to watch the vibrant palette of autumn leaves noticed that it had faded and came to the following conclusion: global warming of the planet’s climate affects the intensity of the color of autumn leaves. (2) By studying how climate affects the color of leaves, scientists came to the conclusion that during drought, leaves turn brown and fall off, and during cloudy weather, the formation of red pigment in the leaf slows down. (3)<…>, the intensity of the color of autumn leaves depends on the weather.

Which of the following words (combinations of words) should be in the blank in the third (3) sentence?

  1. Vice versa
  2. Moreover
  3. On the other side
  4. That's why
  5. Thus
Execution algorithm:
  • When reading the text, it is obvious that options 1, 2 and 3 are not suitable. However, at first glance, making a choice between “therefore” and “thus” is not so simple: they both satisfy the meaning of the sentences - when there is a drought, the leaves fall, and when it is cloudy, red pigment is formed in the leaves more slowly, therefore, their color depends on the weather. Options 4 and 5 are both used to draw a conclusion and summarize.
  • Let's read the text more carefully: in the third sentence, immediately after the missing word, there is a comma. It is not placed after the adverb “therefore”, but “thus” is always separated by this punctuation mark! Therefore, the correct answer is 5.
