Task 3. Complete the sentences by changing the form of the word in capitals.
1. The first piece (produced on the 5th of March) was Pasquin,
a Dramatic Satire on the Times (a piece akin in its plan to
Buckingham’s Rehearsal), which contained, in addition to much
_________________ burlesque, a good deal of very direct criticism ADMIRE
of the shameless political corruption of the Walpole era.
2. In th e _________________ quartet the principle is only dimly felt, CHILD
but it is nevertheless there as a subconscious source of inspiration;
and it afterwards gives inevitable dramatic truth to such passages
as the climax of the development in the sonata.
3. Although with Beethoven the desire to express new thoughts was
thus invariably both stimulated and satisfied by the discovery of
the necessary new means of expression, he felt deeply the danger
of spoiling great ideas by inadequate_________________ EXECUTE
4. His teachers had found him sceptical of authority, and never
convinced of the practical convenience of a rule until he had too
_________________ courted disaster. SUCCESS
5. But he appreciated the experience, though he may have found it
expensive, and traces of crudeness in such early works as he
did not disown are as rare a s _________________ PLAGIARIZE
6. The slow movement well illustrates the rare cases in which
Beethoven imitates Mozart to the detriment of his own proper
---------------------- of tone and thought, while the finale in RICH
its central episode brings a misapplied and somewhat diffuse
structure in Mozart’s style into direct conflict with themes as
“Beethovenish” in their terseness as in their sombre passion.
7. The second sonata i s ----------------------- in execution, and entirely FLAW
beyond the range of Haydn and Mozart in harmonic and dramatic
thought, except in the finale.
8. And it is just in the adoption of th e _________________ LUXURY
Mozartesque rondo form as the crown of this work that Beethoven
shows his true independence.
9. The opening of the second subject in the first movement is a
wonderful_________________ of the harmonic principle already APPLY
mentioned in connexion with the early piano quartets.
10. The slow movement, like those of op. 7 and a few other early
works, shows a thrilling solemnity that immediately proves the
_________________ of the pupil of Haydn with the creator of the IDENTIFY
9th symphony.
11. If the later work of Beethoven were unknown there would be very
little evidence that this sonata was by a young man, except, perhaps,
in the remarkable_________________ of style in the first movement. ABRUPT
12. But Beethoven was not content to express h is _________________ INDIVIDUAL
only in an abrupt epigrammatic style.
13. And while he occasionally attempted to attain a greater
_________________ than his resources would properly allow, there BROAD
are many early works in which he shows neither boldness of style nor
any tendency to confine himself within the limits of previous art.
- 4 -
14. Certainly the smallest class is that in which there is
_________________ imitation of Mozart, and it is significant that MISTAKE
almost all examples of this class are works for wind instruments,
where the technical limitations narrowly determine the style and
discourage the composer from taking things seriously.
15. It is futile to discuss the point at which Beethoven’s second
manner may be said to begin, but he has himself given us excellent
_________________ as to when and how his first manner (as far as EVIDENT
that is a single thing) became impossible to him.

Task 55. Find the extra word in each line if there is one. Tick ( ) the sentences
that are correct.
1. In these lectures I propose to consider the four principal

tragedies of Shakespeare _________
2. from a single point of view. Nothing will have be said
of Shakespeare’s place in the_________________________________ _________
3. history either of English literature or of the drama in a
general. No attempt will be _________
4. made to compare him with other writers. I shall to leave
untouched, or merely _________
5. glanced at, questions regarding of his life and character,
the development of his _________
6. genius and art, the genuineness, sources, texts, inter
relations of his various works. _________
7. Even if what may be called, in a restricted sense, the “poetry”
of the four tragedies — _________
8. the beauties of style, diction, versification — I shall be pass
by in silence. Our one _________
- 38 -
9. object will be what, again in a restricted sense, may be
called dramatic
10. appreciation; to increase an our understanding and
enjoyment of these works as
11. dramas; to learn to apprehend the action and some of the
personages of every each with a
12. somewhat greater truth and intensity, so that they may
assume in our imaginations
13. a shape a little less unlike the shape they wore in the
imagination of their creator.
14. For this is end all those studies that were mentioned just
now, of literary history and
15. the like, are useful and even in various degrees necessary.
But an overt pursuit of
16. them is not necessary here, nor is any one of them so far
indispensable to our object
17. as that close familiarity with the plays, that the native
strength and justice of
18. perception, and that habit of reading with an eager mind,
which make many an
19. unscholarly lover of Shakespeare a far better critic than
many a Shakespeare scholar.
20. Such lovers read a play more or less as if they were actors
who had been to study all the
21. parts. They do not need, of course, to imagine of
whereabouts the persons are to
22. stand, or what gestures they ought to use; but they want
to realise fully and exactly
23. the inner movements which produced these words and no
other, these deeds and no
24. other, at each a particular moment. This, carried through
a drama, is the right way to
25. read the dramatist Shakespeare; and the prime requisite
here is therefore a vivid and intent imagination.

Task 56. Write one word in each gap. The first and last letters of difficult words
are given as an additional clue.
1. Be that as it may, William Shakespeare d_________________d this life on the 23d

of April, 1616.
2. Two days after, his remains were b d beneath the chancel
of Trinity Church, in Stratford.
3. The burial took place on the day before the a of his baptism;
and it has been commonly believed that his death fell on the anniversary
of his birth.
4. If so, he had just entered his fifty-third ________________ r.
5. The Poet’s w ___________1 bears date March 25, 1616.
6. I must notice one item of it: “I give unto my w_________________ e the second-best
bed, with the furniture.”
7. As this is the only made m_________________ n of her, the circumstance was
for a long time regarded as betraying a strange indifference, or something worse,
on the testator’s part, towards his wife.
8. And on this has hung the main a t that the union was not
a happy one.
9. We owe to Mr Knight an e_________________ n of the matter; which is so simple
and decisive, that we can but wonder it was not hit upon before.
10. Shakespeare’s property was mostly f_________________d; and in all this the widow
had what is called the right of dower fully secured to her by the ordinary operation
of English law.
11. The Poet was enough 1_________________ r to know this.
12. As for “the second-best bed”, this was d_________________ s the very thing which
a loving and beloved wife would naturally prize above any other article of furniture
in the establishment.
13. From the foregoing sketch it appears that the materials for a b_________________
of Shakespeare are scanty indeed, and, withal, rather dry.
14. Nevertheless, there is enough, I think, to show, that in all the common dealings of
life he was eminently gentle, candid, upright, and judicious; open-hearted, genial,
and sweet, in his social intercourses; among his companions and friends, full of
playful wit and sprightly grace; kind to the f_________________s of others, severe
to his own.
15. I have spoken somewhat as to the motive and purpose of his i_________________ 1
labour.
16. It was in and for the theatre that his multitudinous g_________________ s was
developed, and his works produced.
- 40 -
17. Doubtless it was his n_________________ e, in whatever he undertook,
to do his best.
18. As an honest and true man, he would, if possible, make the temple of the Drama
a noble p_________________ e, a beautiful, and glorious; and it was while working
quietly and unobtrusively in furtherance of this end,— building better than he
knew,— that he approved himself the greatest, wisest, sweetest of men.

materialism insists on must be true in a general way, if not in
every detail: Saint Paul certainly had once an epileptoid, if not an
epileptic seizure; George Fox was an hereditary degenerate; Carlyle
was undoubtedly auto-intoxicated by some organ or other, no

spiritual significance?
4. Scientific theories are organically conditioned just as much as
religious emotions are; and if we only knew the facts intimately

5. When it alters in one way the blood that percolates it, we get
the methodist, when in another way, we get the atheist form of
mind. So of all our raptures and our drynesses, our longings and

6. To plead the organic causation of a religious state of mind, then,
in refutation of its claim to possess superior---------------------- SPIRIT
value, is quite illogical and arbitrary, unless one have already
worked out in advance some psycho-physical theory connecting
spiritual values in general with determinate sorts of physiological
change.
7. Otherwise none of o u r_________________ and feelings, not even THINK
our scientific doctrines, not even our disbeliefs, could retain any
value as revelations of the truth, for every one of them without
exception flows from the state of their possessor’s body at the time.
8. It i s _________________ to say that medical materialism draws in NEED
point of fact no such sweeping skeptical conclusion.
9. It is sure, just as every simple man is sure, that some states
of mind are inwardly superior to others, and reveal to us more

spiritual judgment.
10. It has no physiological theory of the production of these its
favourite states, by which it may accredit them; and its attempt to
discredit the states which it dislikes, by vaguely associating them
with nerves and liver, and connecting them with names connoting
bodily affliction, is altogether and inconsistent. LOGIC
