ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ
Учебно-методическое пособие предназначено для студентов инженерных специальностей ОТИ НИЯУ МИФИ.
Пособие состоит из двух частей и рассчитано примерно на 70 академических часов аудиторных занятий. Цель пособия – обучение коммуникативному чтению, умению вести беседу на профессиональную тему, развитию стратегии и навыков чтения специальной литературы на английском языке. Использование пособия предполагает наличие у обучающихся исходной языковой подготовки среднего уровня.
Пособие сочетает изучение английского языка с учебным материалом таких дисциплин, как физика и химия. Оно обладает коммуникативной направленностью, так как в современном мире именно владение коммуникативными навыками позволяет активно общаться с иностранными коллегами, вступать в международные научные сообщества и становиться полноценными участниками международных проектов.
Первая часть пособия содержит 11 тематически организованных разделов. Каждый раздел включает два объединенных общей проблемой текста, которые знакомят с величайшими научными открытиями и выдающимися учеными в области физики и химии. В первую часть пособия включены:
•упражнения на развитие всех видов чтения (ознакомительного, изучающего и поискового);
•упражнения на развитие навыков аудирования;
•задания на развитие навыков монологической и диалогической речи;
•задания на развитие навыков письменной речи (эссе, статьи, письма, доклады, отчеты и др.);
•упражнения на перевод с объяснением лексических и грамматических особенностей;
•упражнения, нацеленные на расширение активного запаса слов и развитие языковой догадки;
•промежуточный и заключительный тесты по видамчтения. Во второй части пособия представлены современные, неадапти-
рованные тексты для письменного, аннотационного и реферативно-
5
го переводов, отражающие общую тематику пособия. Предлагаемые тексты дают студентам интенсивную практику и способствуют развитию у них навыков чтения специальной литературы на продвинутом уровне (практически без словаря и с хорошей скоростью), навыков самостоятельной работы с литературой по специальности, умений, которые помогут им в дальнейшем при реферировании и аннотировании профессионально-ориентированных публикаций.
Данное учебно-методическое пособие позволяет установить межпредметные связи между изучаемой дисциплиной и специальными дисциплинами, его можно рекомендовать не только студен- там-химикам и студентам-физикам, но и студентам любой инженерной специальности, где учебным планом предусмотрено изучение таких дисциплин, как химия и физика.
Текст пособия легко воспринимается студентами.

CHEMISTRY
An introduction
Chemistry is often said to be central science, as it connects all other sciences. While mathematicians calculate the world, physicists explain it and biologists say what lives in it, chemistry looks at everything in the world and explains how it is made and what it can do.
Chemistry began with fire. Burning changes things and ancient man must have wondered what happened to the wood he burnt. It was by burning things that ancient man discovered iron and glass, combining different substances in the fire and seeing how they combined. Once gold was found, the false science of alchemy born. People believed they could change ordinary metals like iron into gold. Though the idea was wrong, the alchemists discovered many of the chemical processes that are in use today.
The origin of modern chemistry comes from Antoine Lavoisier, an 18th century Frenchman who was executed in 1794 during the French revolution. He formulated the idea of the conservation of mass: that is even though substances can be changed, their quantity of mass remains the same always. Although Lavoisier was the first to publish his ideas, in Russia, Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov had reached the same conclusions some years earlier. Both men were interested in the nature of combustions – what happens when things burn – and this was the first breakthrough in our understanding of chemistry.
The second great development in chemistry came later and concerned the nature of matter itself: how it was made up and what its parts were. In the early part of the 19th century, the British scientist, John Dalton stated that all matter was made up of atoms of different elements and that these could not be broken down into smaller parts. We know now that atoms exist and that they do have parts which can be broken down, but at the time his ideas divided chemists into those who accepted his ideas and those who did not. There was a whole century of research to be done before the work of Marie Curie on radioactivity and of Ernest Rutherford and Niels Bohr on atomic structure finally proved that Dalton was correct after all.

Even while chemists were divided on atomism, it became necessary for someone to make sense of the growing list of elements that were being discovered. That someone was Dmitri Mendeleev. He took Dalton’s theory of atomism and arranged the elements by their atomic weight and by their chemical properties. So accurate was his classification of the elements, that he was able to predict the properties of undiscovered ones to fill the gaps in the table. Mendeleev’s table is one of the most useful and important generalizations of chemistry and of all science.
These three developments give us the definition of chemistry. It is the science of the composition, structure and properties of substances and how they can be transformed.
¾B Comprehension
