МГЛ гимназия-колледж №24. Образец вступительного теста (2004 г.)

Снова возвращаюсь к теме МГЛ гимназии-колледжа №24 (можно даже на их сайт сходить). Оказывается, они больше не производят набор на переводческое отделение на базе 9 классов, хотя в 2005 г. ещё точно проводили. Я туда, напомню, пробовал поступить в августе 2004 г., однако в силу определённого наклона небесных сфер это осуществить не удалось. В тот год на стенде для абитуриентов висел какой-то образец теста, вероятно, сам тест 2003 года, а может, и нет. В любом случае, структура была практически такой же, какая потом попалась мне на экзамене. Вот тот древний образец здесь и публикую.
Кстати, я общался потом два с половиной года с девочкой одной, которая в 2004 г. в гимназию-колледж поступила. Это была Ольга Осауленко. Однако потом после поступления в БГУ как-то связь с ней порвалась. Она была очень довольна своей учёбой, всегда делилась тем, как проводят там занятия, а я втихаря мечтал, чтобы в тот год диктант лучше бы написал на 10, а не на 9, чтобы поступить. Время расставило всё на свои места, конечно, однако ностальгически думаю о том, как давно и, казалось бы, недавно был 2004 г., суета с поступлением и первое серьёзное расстройство в жизни. Не расстроилась только мама — она и не хотела, чтобы я поступил. А пока — образец теста в МГЛ гимназию-колледж №24.

Text for Reading Comprehension

I found the puppy by the roadside one summer evening. I had no idea how much trouble a growing dog could cause. My cleaning and repair bills doubled; I could never be sure of finding an undamaged pair of shoes and an unchewed copy of the astrophysical journal. But finally, the puppy became a well-trained dog. She was the only dog that was ever allowed to come into the Observatory. She lay there quietly for hours while I was busy, quite happy if she I could hear my voice from time to time. The other astronomers also became fond of her, but from the beginning she was my dog, and obeyed no one else. Not that she always obeyed me.
She was a beautiful animal, about 95 per cent Alsatian*. It was because of that missing 5 per cent, I think, that her masters abandoned* her. (I still get angry when I think of it). Except for two dark patches over her eyes, she was a smoky grey, and her coat was soft and silky. She was very intelligent, and when I was discussing spectral types of evolution of stars with my colleagues, it was hard to believe that she was not following the conversation.
Even now I cannot understand why she became so attached to me, as I have made very few friends among human beings. Yet when I returned to the Observatory after an absence she would go almost frantic with delight*, all the time uttering small squeaks* of joy which seemed strange for so large a dog. I tried not to leave her for more than a few days and though I could not take her with me on overseas trips, she accompanied me on most of my journeys.

_________________
* Alsatian — восточноевропейская овчарка
* (to) abandon — покидать, оставлять
* be frantic with delight — обезуметь от радости
* to utter small squeaks — издавать небольшие визги
