In 2017, all the main characteristics of the examination paper as a whole will be preserved.


It is supposed to expand the language material to complete assignments 17, 22, 23.

Task 17 tests the ability of examinees to isolate constructions that are not grammatically related to the sentence. Punctuation in introductory constructions is traditionally difficult for examinees due to the need to distinguish syntactically fundamentally different phenomena, while often semantically similar (for example, “however” is an introductory word and conjunction). The heterogeneity and multiplicity of the group of introductory and plug-in constructions, the variety of their typed meanings and shades prevent students from successfully mastering this punctuation topic. Having not mastered the composition of a large group of these words and the features of their semantics, having not learned to distinguish introductory words and phrases from members of a sentence, students turn to the intonational features of such units: the examinees consider the intonational selection of potential introductory words to be the only clue, which is wrong, and not always the intonational construction may indicate the presence of an introductory construction in the sentence. The conclusion about the status of a unit as an input is correct only if it meets all the requirements for such linguistic phenomena. It is the "incompleteness" of grammatical and punctuation analysis that leads to errors in the qualification of introductory units and the punctuation marks for them.

In 2017, it is planned to expand the language material of this task by adding separate calls to this topic. It should be noted that both prose and verse text can be used as the language material involved in the task. A participant in the 2017 exam, completing task 17, may encounter different language material. In this case, the wording of the task will remain the same.

The expansion of the language material in task 22, which is focused on testing the ability to conduct a lexical analysis of a word in context and allows assessing such important skills of students as the ability to adequately understand the written speech of other people, the ability to correlate a linguistic phenomenon with the meaning that it receives in the text, will consist in the fact that the specified phenomenon in the source text can be represented not in the singular. So, a request to write out a phraseological unit from the text does not mean that there is only one phraseological unit in the indicated fragment, there may be several. The task is to write only one. Such a change is dictated by the negative impact of the situation when the exam participant is aimed at finding only one answer.

As already noted, the results of the exam showed that the section related to the analysis of the structure of the text, the clarification of the ways and means of connecting sentences, which is manifested in part 2 of the work as a violation of the logic of the development of thought, remains insufficiently learned. Task 23 in 2017 involves both one and several answers. It is planned to change the wording of this task.

(20) For whole days he lay in the glades and examined flowers and herbs with curiosity. (21) Berg collected wild rose berries and fragrant juniper, carefully examined the autumn leaves. (22) At sunset, flocks of cranes flew over the lake to the south with a cooing. (23) Berg for the first time felt a stupid resentment: the cranes seemed to him traitors. (24) They abandoned this desert, forest and solemn land without regret, full of nameless lakes and impassable thickets.

(25) It rained in September. (26) Yartsev was about to leave. (27) Berg got angry. (28) How could you leave in the midst of this extraordinary autumn? (29) Berg now felt the departure of Yartsev in the same way as the cranes had once departed - it was a betrayal. (30) What? (31) Berg could hardly answer this question. (32) Treason to forests, lakes, autumn, finally, to the warm sky, which drizzled with frequent rain.

- (33) I'm staying, - Berg said sharply. - (34) I want to write this autumn.

(35) Yartsev left. (36) The next day, Berg woke up from the sun. (37) Light shadows of the branches trembled on the clean floor, and a quiet blue spilled outside the door. (38) Berg met the word "shine" only in the books of poets, considered it pretentious and devoid of a clear meaning. (39) But now he understood how accurately this word conveys that special light that comes from the September sky and the sun.

The Unified State Exam (USE) is constantly being heard. Interest in exams, which affect the possibility of enrolling in higher educational institutions, is fueled not only by parents and schoolchildren. Every year, experts in the field of education make some changes. In 2017, the latest news speaks of the introduction of major changes. It is planned to increase the number of subjects for the exam and expand the tasks in the Russian language.

Officials and experts in the field of education consider the USE a necessary and mandatory stage in the educational process. For parents and students, every exam, changes in it and the new school year bring new stress, excitement and generates a lot of rumors. Each student strives to get a kind of pass to a higher educational institution. A lot of effort has to be made to pass the Russian language exam: textbooks, tutors, additional literature, and now even changes for 2017.

Two school subjects are obligatory for delivery: mathematics and Russian. Knowledge testing is carried out centrally in writing on special forms. The Russian language task traditionally consists of 2 parts:

  • Language questions with short answers
  • Composition

There are many options for preparing for exams, you can even take an online exam in the Russian language of the USE model of the past year on the Internet as preparation. Demo options allow you to really assess your strengths and readiness for the test. The rules for passing the exam change every year, and 2017 will be no exception.

What innovations await students

The new assignment and changes in the exam in the Russian language cause unrest among schoolchildren and their parents. In fact, after each academic year, educational specialists analyze the passed tests and make changes. Much attention was drawn to the innovation, which is planned to be introduced at the end of the 2016-2017 academic year. So, by analogy with a foreign language, an oral survey will be added for Russian.

Thus, the test will consist of two already existing parts and one new one.

The number of mandatory exams is planned to be supplemented with another school subject, presumably history. Officials explain their choice by the results of a survey among young people, which showed that 22% of those surveyed found it difficult to answer the question "when did World War II start?" It is also mentioned that some of the respondents could not name the warring parties. Previously, history was one of the optional subjects that students could choose to take. More and more schoolchildren prefer to limit themselves to mathematics and Russian and not to take the exam in additional subjects. In connection with the decrease in the interest of schoolchildren in education, it is planned to introduce a number of changes:

  • At the end of the academic year, in 2017 the number of compulsory subjects (except for the Russian language and mathematics) will increase by one. Students will be able to choose the third subject themselves, but the option is being considered to establish history as a compulsory subject.
  • Traditionally, the USE is taken by graduates of the 9th and 11th grades. By 2017, the number of "graduate" classes may be supplemented by another 4th class. For them, the Unified State Exam will be developed according to the curriculum.
  • Due to the decrease in the number of those wishing to take the exam in natural science (chemistry, biology) and exact (physics, etc.) subjects, it is planned to expand the number of selective exams.

How will the exam take place?

Until 2017, the Unified State Examination in the Russian language included only the written part. The exam includes a spelling and punctuation check. Education specialists note the high results of such a test, but they are wondering about expanding the study of the discipline. As a change to the current state of affairs, it is proposed to supplement the existing exam with an oral part. What exactly the oral task will represent will be known closer to the middle of the 2016-2017 academic year.

The test of spoken Russian is designed to assess the knowledge and ability of school graduates to clearly express their thoughts and communicate freely on various topics. Thus, the student will have to convey the meaning of his words in his native language to the examiners and be able to freely and competently compose sentences in the process of conversation.

Why change is needed

Officials are convinced of the undoubted benefits of this approach and believe that the new trend will better prepare graduates for entering the university and will contribute to their future careers.

Clear formulation of tasks and communication of general ideas are indispensable qualities for leaders, and the ability to correctly present one's own ideas in an accessible way helps to succeed in career advancement.

Other changes will help explain sociologists. The alarm was sounded due to the fact that many graduates even refuse to try to enter higher educational institutions for fear of taking the exam. Gradual changes and expansion of possible subjects for delivery will set up applicants for broad prospects in the field of choosing a future profession.

Benefits of innovation

While schoolchildren are dreading the increase in the number of exams and the tightening of knowledge requirements, there is also a positive side to the planned changes.

  • Better prospects. Sociologists and officials are convinced of the need to expand the number of subjects for the USE to 6 by 2019. Passing only 2 mandatory exams, a graduate is at a disadvantage when entering a university. By adding 1 more subject to the knowledge test, the situation will not improve much, since the profile restriction will remain. According to officials, 6 required exams will expand the opportunities for applicants to enter universities.
  • Gradual transition. The smooth progress of changes in the education system will allow future graduates to mentally prepare for exams and give them time to improve their knowledge in school subjects. So, since 2017, the number of points scored in the exam will affect the final grade in the certificate.
  • Knowledge control. Examinations in the graduating classes reflect only the general picture, the already accomplished fact of providing knowledge. The introduction of the USE after the 4th grade will make it possible to control the educational process and maintain it at a sufficiently high level. It is also expected to reduce stress among schoolchildren by increasing exams. After all, if exams become commonplace, then there will be less worry about them.

The final decision and all changes in the process of passing the exam in the Russian language will be known to graduates of the 2016-2017 academic year in the near future. Experts agree that no cardinal innovations are foreseen and encourage schoolchildren to calmly prepare for exams and study the subject. To be safe, you should expand your vocabulary and practice your conversational Russian skills.

Answer : _________________________

(1) When I entered the new empty apartment, the only one who met me was an old snow-covered poplar tree outside the window, it was left from the village estate that was on this place, and now, looking into the second floor, it was as if he said to me: “Hello,” and from its white beautiful branches light poured into the room, pure, immaculate, incorruptible. (2) Then spring came, and one morning, after a warm night rain, something green, smoky, indefinite looked in the window.

(3) Every spring the same thing is repeated, and each time it is like a miracle, a miracle of renewal, and one cannot get used to it. (4) I stood and looked for a long time and could not get enough of it. (5) Now, it was as if someone living had settled outside the window, making noise and suddenly falling silent, and during the wind softly and meekly tapping on the window.

(6) He lived with all his leaves, thousands of thousands of leaves, exposing them to the sun, moon, wind, rain. (7) He enjoyed life with might and main, every minute, every second of his life. (8) And I, thinking about my life, would like to learn from him this constant joy in the wild under heaven.

(9) Birds flew on its branches, they whistled, sang their short city songs, maybe the poplar told them about me, and they looked out the window and grinned.

(10) What a long wonderful summer it was in that first year of life in a new room, with a living poplar at the very window, what endless sunsets, and bright nights, and light dreams! (11) Only sometimes I suddenly dreamed that for some reason I had lost a new room and again I live in an old, dark and fumes, with a bare electric light bulb on a long cord. (12) But I woke up, and the poplar looked into the room with clean, fresh walls, and the predawn green noise merged with the feeling of a happy awakening. (13) Then autumn came, the leaves turned yellow, and the room became quiet, sad.

(14) Autumn showers and storms began, at night the poplar creaked, moaned, beat its branches against the wall, as if asking for protection from the weather. (15) Gradually, the leaves flew around from its upper branches, and then from the lower ones. (16) The leaves flowed in streams, covering the balcony, and some stuck to the glass and looked in horror into the room, waiting for something.

(17) And now not a single leaf was left on the poplar, it stood naked, black, as if burned, and against the background of the blue sky, every black twig, every vein was visible, it was solemnly quiet and sad in nature, the unheated sun shone like summer. (18) And, as always, childhood was remembered and thought: who are you? (19) What is the meaning of life? (20) Then it was spring again, and everything was all over again, and life seemed endless.

(21) But one morning I heard a sound under the window, as if my poplar was squealing. (22) I rushed to the window. (23) Below were scrapers and road rollers that were breaking through a new street, and a worker was cutting down a poplar standing in the middle of the road with an electric saw.

(24) And from above, I saw how a shiver passed through his entire green body, he staggered, thought for a moment and collapsed onto a new street, blocking it in its entire width with noisy green landslide foliage.

(25) And the red-brick, boring, bare wall of the house on the other side of the street opened up to me, and since then I have only seen it and a piece of the sky.

(26) I often remember my poplar. (27) And it still seems that he has not disappeared from the earth, but is growing somewhere in the forest, in the clearing, making noise with all the leaves.

Read the text and complete tasks 20 - 25.

(1) Science fiction is the most important literary genre, because it is the one that "corresponds" to the spirit of the times... (2) All the most important problems of our time are the problems of science fiction. (3) Make a list of these problems for yourself. (4) I will compose too. (5) Now let's compare our lists.

(6) I am sure that both lists include the problem of interaction between man and machine, and in connection with it, the problem of morality, morality, which organically follows from such interaction.

(7) The history of science fiction is the history of ideas that changed the world but were first ridiculed and rejected. (8) Let me explain this idea.

(9) If thirty years ago in one of my stories I wrote that we would soon be surrounded by polluted air, poisoned water, deadly traffic, you would have exclaimed:

(10) - Vile fiction! (11) Pure fantasy!

(12) Now look around! (13) That time has come!

(14) If I wrote that the time will come and with the help of credit checks people will borrow from "tomorrow" in order to live today, you would snort indignantly:

(15) - Nonsense and lies! (16) Never!

(17) If I wrote about a device that transmits an image through the air and thereby affects the mentality of mankind, I would be thrown out the door. (18) If I wrote that one day people would land on the moon, how would you react? (19) I will say how they treated those who tried to mention this - they simply laughed at them. (20) They laughed in 1930, in 1940, in 1950. (21) They continued to laugh until the first artificial Earth satellite was launched in October 1957.

(22) A person became convinced that the predictions of science fiction come true only when he saw small metal stars traveling across the sky from west to east and inscribing new coils in the bizarre pattern of the New Time.

(23) Who would have believed me if, in 1920, I wrote that the day was not far off when one madman and his armored "bugs" would nullify the theory of lines of long-term defense?

(24) It wasn't until the fascist tanks appeared in France that everyone believed it.

(25) Hitler's tanks and armored vehicles razed Western Europe to the ground in a matter of weeks. (26) And only devices described in science fiction literature and called airplanes, not yet invented in 1900, still primitive in 1939, helped England to defend its airspace.

(28) A few decades ago, radio, television, automobiles, the hydrogen bomb did not exist. (29) The air was clean.

(30) All the achievements of science and technology that have brought benefit or harm to mankind over the past fifty years, long before that, were born in the head of a science fiction writer.

(31) Serious times have come. (32) And science fiction is especially needed now because it makes attempts to study each new machine long before it appears and begins to destroy or rebuild us and the world around us.

(33) Now that we have almost fully harvested the harvest of technical innovations, we need to develop some kind of norms for the relationship between man and technology, so as not to be untenable in the face of the future.

(34) Plato told us about his dream state. (35) Science fiction writers subsequently also portrayed the states of steel, electricity and atomic energy that would make us different. (36) In this particular world of the solar system lost in space, we are beings who are trying to get to know and understand ourselves better, beings who are trying to create machines that have our minds, able to see, hear, feel the world better than us and - God willing - more kind. (37) This would extend the life of our planet by another two billion years if we achieve harmonious coexistence with the machines we have created.
