ELECTRICITY
It is impossible to imagine our civilization without electricity: economic and social progress will be turned to the past and our daily lives completely transformed.
Electrical power has become universal. Thousands of applications of electricity such as lighting, electrochemistry and electrometallurgy are longstanding and unquestionable.
With the appearance of the electrical motor, power cables replaced transmission shafts, gear wheels, belts and pulleys1 in the 19th century workshops. And in the home a whole range of various time and labour saving appliances2 have become a part of our everyday lives.
Other devices are based on specific properties of electricity: electrostatics in the case of photocopying machine and electromagnetism in the case of radar and television. These applications have made electricity most widely used.
The first industrial application was in the silver workshops in Paris. The generator – a new compact source of electricity – was also developed there. The generator replaced the batteries and other devices that had been used before.
Electric lighting came into wide use at the end of the last century with the development of the electric lamp by Thomas Edison. Then the transformer was invented, the first electric lines and networks were set up, dynamos and induction motors3 were designed.
Since the beginning of the 20-th century the successful development of electricity has begun throughout the industrial world. The consumption of electricity has doubled every ten years.
Today consumption of electricity per capita4 is an indicator of the state of development and economic health of a nation. Electricity has replaced other sources of energy as it has been realized that it offers improved service and reduced cost.
One of the greatest advantages of electricity is that it is clean, easily-regulated and generates no by-products5. Applications of electricity now cover all fields of human activity from house washing machines to the latest laser devices. Electricity is the efficient source of some of the most recent technological advances such as the laser and electron beams. Truly6 electricity provides mankind with the energy of the future.
Notes to the Next
1) transmission shafts, gear wheels, belts and pulleys – трансмиссионные валы, зубчатые колёса, ремни и блоки
2) time and labour saving appliances – электроприборы, экономящие время и труд

B. Text Study
I. Look at the title of the text. Make your predictions about the content of it. Read the text and answer the questions.
a) How is the problem of power supply for distant areas being solved at present?
b) What are the advantages of solar power?
Text B
SOLAR LIGHT BY NIGHT
Most people living in towns consider it a usual thing that streets are lit at night. But street lights need a power supply (источник энергии) therefore distant areas with no source of electricity remain in darkness until the sun comes up again.
With new appliances now offered by several British firms, many distant places could be lit with solar-powered street lights. It may seem strange that the lamps can use the power of the sun which shines by day when the lamps are needed at night, but they work by using energy accumulated during the day from a solar panel. The solar panel produces electricity which charges a battery. When the sun goes down the battery power is then used for lighting. Each lamp has its own panel so the system can be used for one individual light or a number of them.
In the south of Saudi Arabia a motorway tunnel miles from any power supply is lit day and night by solar-powered devices. The solar panels provide power during the day and charge batteries which accumulate enough power to light the tunnel at night. The generation of electricity by batteries is still expensive but the advantage of sun-powered lamps is that they can bring light to areas distant from any other power supply.
There is one more advantage of solar power: not only it is unlimited, but also its use does not pollute the environment. That is why it is very important to develop devices which make it possible to transform solar power into mechanical or electric forms of power.
II. Read the text and define whether the following statements are true or false.
1. Street lights do not need a power supply nowadays.
2. Distant areas with a source of electricity never remain in darkness.

4. A motorway tunnel in Saudi Arabia is lit day and night by wind-powered devices.
5. The generation of electricity by batteries is rather expensive.
6. There is one more disadvantage of solar power: its use does not pollute the environment.
7. The development of devices which make it possible to transform solar power into mechanical or electric forms of power is very important.
III. Expand the sentences.

NON-TRADITIONAL RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY
It is known that much is being done in the world today for the development of non-traditional sources of energy. Without them the Earth cannot support its present population of 5 billion people and probably 8 billion people in the 21st century.
Now we are using traditional power sources, that is oil, natural gas, coal and water power with the consumption of more than 50 billion barrels per year. It is evident that these sources are not unlimited.
That is why it is so important to use such renewable sources of energy as the sun, wind, geothermal energy and others. Research is being carried out in these fields.
One of the most promising (перспективный) research is the development of power stations with direct transformation of solar energy into electricity on the basis of photoeffect. It was Russia that was the first in the world to develop and test a photoelectric battery of 32,000 volts and effective area of only 0.5 sq.m., which made it possible to concentrate solar radiation. This idea is now being intensively developed in many countries.
However, the efficiency of a solar power station is considerably reduced because of the limited time of its work during the year. But it is possible to improve the efficiency of solar power station by developing different combinations of solar power stations and traditional ones–thermal, atomic and hydraulic. Today some engineers are working at the problem of developing electric power stations with the use of a thermal-chemical cycle. It will operate on products of the transformation of solar energy, whereas the “solar” chemical reactor uses CO2 and water steam of the thermal power station. The result is that we have a closed cycle.
All these advances in developing new sources of energy and improving the old ones help to solve the energy problem as a whole and they do not have negative effects on the environment.

Сослагательное наклонение
Глаголы в сослагательном наклонении выражают желаемое, предполагаемое или нереальное действие. В современном английском языке синтетические формы сослагательного наклонения, совпадающие с инфинитивом, употребляются редко. Чаще употребляются аналитические формы, состоящие из модальных глаголов ‘should, would, may, might’ и инфинитива. Для того, чтобы выразить нереальное действие, используется ’смещение времени’ – глаголы в прошедшем времени выражают нереальное действие в настоящем, а формы Past Perfect – в прошлом.
Сослагательное наклонение обычно употребляется в придаточных предложениях после оборотов “it is necessary, it is required” и др.; в дополнительных придаточных предложениях после глаголов ‘order, command, suggest, insist’, а также глагола ‘wish’; в обстоятельственных придаточных предложениях цели и нереального условия.
It is required that pupils should come in time.
I suggest that you should read it yourself.
I wish I had that book.
We wished they would tell us everything.
Write down all these words lest you should forget them.
If you were more attentive, you’d study better.
Требуется, чтобы учащиеся приходили вовремя.
Я полагаю, тебе следует прочесть это самому.
Жаль, что у меня нет этой книги
Жаль, что они не рассказали нам обо всем.
Запиши все эти слова, чтобы не забыть их.
Если бы ты был более внимательным, ты бы учился лучше.
Условные предложения
| Типы условных предложений | Ситуация / условие | Союзы / союзные слова | |
| 1. Изъявительное наклонение | реальное условие, относящиеся к настоящему, прошедшему или будущему времени; | If unless even if but for in case etc … | если если не даже если если бы не в случае при условии, что и т.д. |
| 2. Сослагатель-ное наклонение | нереальное условие 1) невероятное действие, относящееся к настоящему или будущему времени 2) маловероятное, но возможное действие; а также употребляется в предложениях, выражающих совет; | ||
| 3. Сослагатель-ное наклонение | нереальное условие, относящееся к действию, не имевшему места в прошлом, хотя и возможному, а также используется для выражения сожаления, критики, неодобрения. |
Придаточное предложение условия, предшествующее главному предложению, отделяется запятой. Существуют также смешанные типы условных предложений. Вероятны любые комбинации временных форм глаголов, в зависимости от контекста. Например: If she had finished it yesterday, she wouldn’t be doing it now.
Если бы она закончила это вчера, то не делала бы это сейчас.
Во всех трех типах условных предложений союзы / союзные слова: if, provided и др. могут быть опущены. В придаточном предложении встречаются такие глаголы, как had, were, could, might, should. В таком случае имеет место обратный порядок слов.
Например: Если он придет, то пусть подождет меня. - Should he come, let him wait for me.
Если бы она была специалистом в данной области, мы бы показали ей новую установку. – Were she a specialist in this field, we should show her the new installation.
