Алғы сөз

 

Бұл ұсынылып отырған ағылшын тiлiнен оқу құралы техникалық жоғары оқу орындарында оқитын студенттерге арналған. Оқу құралы ағылшын тiлi бағдарламасының талаптарына сай жазылған.

         Оқу құралының басты мақсаттары:

·        бiрiншiден, берiлген тақырып көлемiнде студенттердiң сөйлеу дағдыларын қалыптастыру;

·        екiншiден, студенттердiң мамандықтарына байланысты арнайы ғылыми - әдебиеттердi, мақалаларды оқи алу және өздерiне қажеттi мағлұматты пайдалана алу iскерлiктерiн дамыту.

         Жоғарыда көрсетiлген мақсаттарға жету үшiн, әр    сабақта белсендi түрде меңгеруге арналған сөздер мен жалпы техникалық  терминдер және олардың қолданылуын  бекiтуге арналған жаттығулар берiлген .

         Оқу құралының арнайы бөлiмi граматикалық материалды қайталауға және ғылыми-әдебиет көздерiне тән кейбiр қиын грамматикалық құбылыстар мен синтаксистiк құрылымдарды жаттықтыруға арналған.

         Бұл оқу құралында негiзiнен аутентикалық мәтiндер берiлген, олар студенттердiң болашақ мамандықтарын ескере отыра iрiктелiп алынған .

         Оқу  құралы төрт бөлiмнен тұрады: негiзгi курс,  грамматикалық материалдар, жаттығулар және қосымша кестелер.

         Негiзгi бөлiм – сабақтардан тұрады. Бұл бөлiмнiң басты мақсаты студенттердiң сөз iскерлiктерi мен дағдыларын дамыту. Оқу материалының орналасуы және жаттықтыру тапсырмаларының сипаты мен түрлерi қойылған мақсат негiзiнде орналастырылған.

         Екiншi бөлiмде грамматикалық материал  қазақ тiлiнде берiлген.

Кейбiр қиын грамматикалық құбылыстар мен синтаксистiк құрылымдардың қазақ тiлiне қалай аударылатындығы мысалдар арқылы көрсетiлген.

         Оқу құралының үшiншi бөлiмiнде берiлген жаттығулар жүйесi грамматикалық материалды берiк меңгеруге бағытталған.Төртiншi бөлiм көрнекi түрде берiлген кестелермен қамтылған.

         Бүл әдістеме құрылымы жағынан өте ыңғайлы. Мұғалім не студент қай бөліммен жұмыс істеуді қажет деп тапса, сол бөлімді пайдалана алады.

                Қазіргі таңда техникалық жоғары оқу орындарының студенттеріне арналған қазақ тіліндегі оқулықтар мен оқу құралдары жоқтың қасы,сондықтан қазақ бөлімінің студенттері шетел тілінен орыс тілінде басылып шыққан оқулықтармен жұмыс істейді, оның үстіне студенттердің шетел тілін меңгеру деңгейлері әр түрлі. Міне осы себептерді ескере отыра құрылған әдістемелікті          студенттер  сабаққа дайындық кезінде өз бетiмен  пайдалануға мүмкіндік алады.

This year I entered the Almaty Institute of Power Engineering and Telecommunication. It is one of the biggest educational institutions in Kazakhstan, training specialists in the field of power engineering and telecommunication. The head of the institute is  Rector. There are five faculties in the Institute which prepare specialists on 22 specialities. Each faculty has a number of specialized departments and headed by dean. The course of studies lasts 5 years. My institute has two buildings. There are many variuos laboratories and computer centers. There is a good library in the main buildings,which provides the students with books and literature on special subjects.

I study at the faculty of Radio engineering and telecommunication and I hope to be a good specialist.  The academic year begins on the 1-st September and is divided into two terms. We have two sessions in a year, in January and June. The first year students study general engineering subjects. We listen to lectures, have seminars and consultations.

English – a Language of the World

 

                Language belongs to each of us. Everyone uses words. What is it about language that makes people so curious? The answer is that there is almost nothing in our lives that is not touched by language. We live in and by language.

          Nowadays, 750 million people all over the world use English and half of those speak it as a mother tongue. It is  an official language  in 44 countries. Of all the 2700 world languages English is one of the richest. For example, compare English, German and French: English has a vocabulary of about 500000 words, German – 185000, and French – fewer than 100000. It has become the language of the planet, the first truly global language.

English is the language of international communication in many areas of life: trade, transport, tourism, sport and entertainment.  Three quarters of the world’s mail and its telexes are in English. More than half of the world’s scientific periodicals and eighty per cent of the information in the world’s computers also in English. English is the main language of business. It is the official language of Olympics.

         Language learning is hard work. More and more people also need English for studying at universities and colleges. New ideas in science, technologies happen so quickly that is impossible to translate everything into different languages.

Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) has existed in some form for at least three decades.The computer can serve a variety of uses for language learning. It offers language drills or skills practice, a stimulus for discussion and interaction and tool for writing and research. Multimedia technologies (today by CD ROM) allow a variety of media: text, graphics, sound, animation and video.  Language  teaching computer programme is  a highly efficient language learning method. They offer a lot of varied practice for listening, speaking, reading and writing. 

Developments in technology have changed our life in every aspect. Communication technilogies enabled us to communicate with students  of different countries.  Using the WWW students can search authentic materials, newspaper and magazine articles to their own personal interests.

 Are you Happy with the Way You Are Taught English?

 

Interviewer: Askar, I know you have been learning English for almost five

          years. What do you feel about learning grammar?

Askar: Of course, you must learn grammar in any language. After all you can’t build a house without foundation.

Int.:    So grammar is important. But should it be taught in isolation?

Askar:No. You need to practise grammar together with vocabulary.

Int.:   With vocabulary. Do you like to learn the words by heart and practise           them?

Askar:Practice helps us to memorize the words.

Int.:    How about pronunciation? A lot of students find that hard?

Askar:English intonation is awful. I think it’s the most difficult part of pronunciation, because if you get it wrong, people think you are rude. Intonation is far more difficult than learning to pronounce the words correctly.

Int.:  What advice would you give to people who are just beginning to learn English?

Askar:I find reading very helpful. I read books, magazines, newspapers and other periodicals. I try to guess the meaning of words. This helps me to read more quickly. But I also look words up in the dictionary and make a note of the most useful ones. Listening and watching videos and educational TV programmes in English help me, too.

Int.:   As I can see, learning a language isn’t as simple as all that.

You can learn rules for grammar and pronunciation and also for vocabulary.

         Now you are first-year student. Is it necessary for a future engineer to study a foreign language? It is very important to know what you think about it. Think of some more which are important in your opinion.

Discuss the problem with your groupmate.

 

18.  Talking point .

 

One of the reasons why a lot of people all over the world learn English is that                                English has taken the position of the world language.

It means that:

­      English has become a global language

­      750 million people all over the world use it

­      people who speak English have better job opportunities

­      it is one of the richest languages

­      it is the main language of business, sports, science

a)    Find  in the text the  key words to describe a computer.

b) Try to explain these terms to your partner: main memory, input and output devices, processor, a monitor,  a printer, CD ROM,  a mouse,  the hard disk 

 

Text A. Computer system

 

         What is a computer? The electronic system of a computer is very complex.

         Computers can be divided into three types, depending on their size and power: mainframe computers, minicomputers and microcomputers.

            Mainframe computers are the largest and most powerful. They can handle large amounts of information. They usually fill a whole room and are sometimes referred to as computer installation.  Minicomputers are smaller and less powerful than mainframes. They are about the size of an office desk and usually found in offices and banks.             Microcomputers are the smallest and the least powerful. The microcomputer is very small in size and weight, resistant to temperature fluctuations, reliable and easy to operate. The field of application of the microcomputer is vast. It can be used in many fields of science and engineering. They are ideal for use as home computers. 

         The pieces of equipment making up the computer system are known as hardware. There are many hardware pieces in a computer system. Some are: the system board, power supply, keyboard, mouse, hard disk and monitor.

The central processing unit (CPU) is the brain and heart of the computer. The part of the computer where programmes and data being used is called the main memory.

The simplest and  most common type of input device is a keyboard. You communicate with your computer with the keyboard. With it, you type instructions and commands for the computer.  Many of the keys on the keyboard are like those on a typewriter. Your keyboard has letter keys, punctuation keys, shift keys, tab, the spacebar and many specialized keys. 

The most commonly used output device is known as a monitor or VDU (Visual Display Unit). Your computer is not complete without the monitor, a TV-like device. Monitor displays text, characters and graphics. It allows you to see the results of your work. A printer is another kind of output device to print information. There are many different types of printers.

         With the device called the mouse you can do a number of things by clicking on different icons.   As you glide the mouse, the ball inside moves in the direction of your movement and you will see the arrow on your screen moving in unison. The arrow is called a pointer.

         The programs are on disks, the hard disks inside the computer or floppy disks, or on CD ROMs (Compact Disk Read Only Memory),which you can put on and store a large information.

10. Reading practice. Read the text and find  definitions of the terms  you  decide to be the most important for you.

Text B. Software system

 

Programmes, often called software are series of instructions written in computer language. It  means the programmes needed to operate computer equipment. They are stored in files and tell computer to perform  different tasks.

The operating system is the most important type of software, which control the basic function of a computer system. It is like a translator between you and your computer. The operating system is usually supplied by the computer manufacturer. It allows you communicate with your computer,  letting use all computer resources to your advantage. We know some common operating systems: MS DOS, NC, Windows.

Specialised programmes, which unable the computers to be used for particular purposes are called application programmes. There are different types of application programmes: database programme, word processor and spreadsheet programmes.

Database system is a set of system programmes, which allow the data from a database to be used by a number of different application programmes. Word processing programmes are used for the preparation and editing of letters and other documents.  This allows the text to be edited before it is printed out into paper in its final form. Various editing facilities are also available. Spreadsheet programmes are used in business. This type of programme displays information in the form of a table or array. Each column of the array is labelled with a letter and each row is labelled with a number.

Text A. A Great Citizen of the World

 

Every day many people        visit  Thomas A.Edison’s  laboratories in Orange, New Jersey. Some of them are young inventors who go study, but many more of them are tourists. They come from all parts of the US and from other countries as well.

Edison is known  as one of the greatest inventors of his time. He invented so much that is diffucult to say which of his achievements is the greatest. He was an experimentor and a practical man more than a theoretician.

Edison did not have any education. He went to school only for three months. Then he left it because the teacher considered him a dull boy. His mother became his teacher.  The boy loved books and his mother said that he had a wonderful memory. He began to experiment at the age of ten or eleven. Instead of a laboratory he used the cellar of his parents’ house.

In 1868 Edison built his first patented invention – an electromagnetic device. He established a workshop and began his career as professional inventor at the age of twenty  two. All his invention  were the results of hard work. He sometimes made thousands of experiments. According to his words the idea that a genius works only by inspiration was absurd. “Genius is  2 per cent inspiration and  98 per cent perspiration,” he often said.

Text B. Michael Faraday

 

Michael Faraday, one of the greatest men of science, had little chance to get an education. His father was a blackmith, and Faraday was born to work with his hands too. When thirteen years of age, he went apprentice to learn bookbinding. Once when binding an encyclopedia he ran across an article on electricity. It struck  his imagination and aroused his interest. With the little money he  could save, he bought a cheap and simple apparatus and set to make experiments. He attended the lectures of Humphry Davy, an outstanding scientist and the most popular lecturer in London at that time. It was Davy who helped Faraday to become assistant  at the laboratory of Royal institute and to get a profound knowledge of the subject. While still an assistant, he helped Davy to create a safety lamp for miners. He learned chemistry, he was working on the problem of turning gases into liquids. An important discovery of Faraday was that of benzyl, which he separated from condensed oil gas, and which since then found world-wide application.  For several years he is known have been working at the problem of a perfect optical glass and to have made a glass that greatly improved the telescope.

Yet the problem of electricity and magnetism interested him above all. All the scientific world had known by that time if a current is run through a copper wire wound around a piece of iron, the iron becomes a magnet. If electricity magnetizes, why won’t magnetism electrify? That was the question Faraday asked himself over and over. For a long time he tried different experiments to solve the problem. At last in 1831 he made his major discovery in the field of electricity – the electromagnetic induction.

Among a number of other discoveries he is also known to have measured electric current for the first time, and to have made several important observations on the conductivity of different materials.

Faraday was one of those great men who made possible the age of electricity in which we live, all the marvels it brings us all those it may bring to the future generations.

Text A. Engineering Materials

 

Engineers have to know the  most economical materials to use. They must also understand the properties of these materials. There are two kinds  used in engineering – metals and non-metals. All metals are divided into ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Ferrous metals are metals and alloys the main component of which iron. The classification of ferrous metals includes iron, steel and its alloys. Non-ferrous are metals and alloys the main component of which is not iron but some other element such as copper (Cu), aluminium (Al) and others. Copper, aluminium and some other metals are referred to as non-ferrous metals. Some of their characteristics are: high electric and heat conductivity, high corrosion resistance, non-magnetic qualities, light weight and easiness to fabrication. Zinc, copper and lead sulphides, aluminum and tin oxides, magnesium, carbonate and chloride are the naturally occurring minerals from which these metals are extracted.

Copper has been used as a conductor since the beginning of the industry and no proper substitute has been found. Only one metal, silver, is more efficient, but it has too high cost to be extensively used. Copper is found in nature in the form of ores but it is sometimes found in pure state. Pure copper is of reddish colour, and it has corrosion resistant qualities. Copper is the best conductor of electricity. It is used for telephone and telegraph cables, electric wiring, parts of dynamos and electric motors. 

 Aluminium is the oldest and the best known light metal. Aluminium is used in common practice for transmission lines where long spans are necessary. It is a white silvery metal, which does not rust in the air. It is soft, that is why it is used only when alloyed with other metals. It has, compared to other metals, a conducting capacity of about 60℅ per cent of that of copper.

Text B.  Plastics and ceramics

 

Plastics and ceramics are non-metals. Plastics materials are not found as such in nature. Plastics have been conceived in the laboratory and are born in a chemical plant. This is a characteristic, which they share with the so-called man-made fibres, the less well known synthetic rubbers. Plastics are light. Although the first plastic, celluloid, was introduced 100 years ago, we have only really become aware of them within the last twenty years. They have found wide application both in everyday life and in industry. We can hardly name a branch of industry where plastics are not applied. The insulation and dielectric properties of plastics led to their early use in the electrical engineering industry, which was followed by special application in mechanical engineering. The use of plastics as materials of construction in the form of sheets, rods or tubes is substituting the conventional metals. Automobile, aircraft and shipbuilding industries have also made use of advantages offered by plastics.

Advanced ceramic and composite materials have such interesting properties that engineers are becoming more and more interested in their use as structural parts. Composite materials are materials in which two or more different substance such as metals, ceramics, glasses, or polymers are combined without chemical reaction. Ceramic finds application in bearings and engine parts, in ceramic heat exchangers for chemical plants.

 

8. Answer these questions:

 

1.       What do we know about plastic?

2.       What was the first plastic material?

3.        Where are plastics applied?

4.       When was celluloid introduced?

Text A. Who first Split the Atom?

 

Ernest Rutherford was born on August 30, 1871, in New Zealand. Ernest was the fourth child in the family. At school he was good at physics, mathematics and chemistry. He liked to make models of different machines. He was particulary interested in watches and cameras. At the age of 19 he finished school and entered the New Zealand University.

At the university Ernest Rutherford was one of the most talented students. He worked hard and took an active part in the work of the Scientific Society  of the University. At one of the meetings of the Scientific Society he made his scientific report ‘The Evolution of Elements’. At the same time he began his research work. For his talented scientific research he got a prize. After graduation Rutherford went to Cambridge where he continued his investigations. Some years later he worked at the University in Monreal to continue his research. Besides his successful research he also lectured at the leading Universities of the United States and England.

Rutherford’s famous work “The Scattering of Alpha and Beta Particles of Matter and the Structure of the Atom” proved that the atom could be bombarded. He changed nitrogen atom into oxygen atoms. Splitting  the atom was very important, because it led the way to nuclear power. Rutherford changed nitrogen into oxygen by bombarding it by alpha particles.

Rutherford made a brand- new discovery about atom. In the process of splitting the nucleus matter was converted into energy, which for scientists of the 19th century seemed unbelievable. The splitting of the atom has opened to mankind a new enourmous source of energy.

Text B. William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) (1824-1907)

 

William Thomson was born in Belfast 1824. He came to Glasgow in 1832, where he entered the University. Thomson was dealt with theoretical researches. He possessed considerable practical skills also, that won him a great fame. Thomson’s scientific carrier reached its apogee in Glasgow in 1846, where he, being 22 years old, had received the Natural Philosophy Chair. Thomson combined his bright theoretical investigations with an activity, associated with his work in telegraphy. The Great Britain obliged to Thomson in many respects by its leaderships in the sphere of underwater telegraphy. He had learnt problems of signal transfer at a large distance and also invented and patented radio.

Later in 1982 William Thomson received Lord Kelvin’s title.

Kelvin and Joule met at the Conference of British Association of the Science Development in 1847. Kelvin was surprised and alarmed, that Joule had derived heat the status of the remained value. He was  under strong impression of those results, which Joule had obtained. He considered, that Carno’s conclusion will be disproved, if heat really not preserved and if heatgen is absent in nature.

Kelvin began with visual demonstration of that confusion in concepts, which occurred in physics. He continued to develop opinion (described in his work “To the Dynamic theory of Heat”, 1851), according to which apparently, two laws are hidden under the experiments results. Thus, a new science appeared, called thermodynamics.

Text A. The problem of pollution and ecology is one of the most                                           important problems for mankind now.

 

That the problem of pollution and ecology has become the most important one for mankind is evident to all. The more civilization is developing, the greater the ecological problems are becoming. Air and water pollution by industry is now reaching tremendous proportions. In our era it is changing from a national to an international problem.

The seas and oceans are also becoming seriously polluted. Many rivers and lakes are poisoned too. A similar situation is developing in the armosphere. It is known that many cities throughout the world suffer from air pollution.

Nowadays people understand how important it is to solve the environmental problems. The most serious environmental problems are pollution in many forms (water pollution, air pollution), noise from cars, destruction of wildlife, shortage of natural resources, the growth of population.

It is diffucult for mankind to predict changes in the environment accurately. It is known that natural changes in weather and climate may have more catastrophic global effects than human activity.  At present scientists are working on the theory of interaction of all the atmospheric and oceanic global processes that determine the climate and weather of the world. Modern scientific and technological progress made it possible to use new technologies for that purpose.

 

6. Answer the questions based on the information found in the reading or your own experience.

Text B. The reasons for the rise in the Caspian’s sea level

and forecast of its future fluctuations

 

            The problem of working out how the Caspian sea will rise and fall and thus working out a prognosis of the fluctuation of the sea’s level over the last 10-20 years. The key areas of research are being undertaken by a group of Russian experts.

         The current transgression that the experts observing in the Caspian is not a unique one in the history. They observed considerable changes in the coastline and its fauna biological environment.

         The most dangerous ecological changes in human and environmental terms are taking place in most urbanized regions. In these regions there are 98 industrial enterprises which collectively release 27.2 thousand tones of toxic waste a year into the atmosphere, 41 enterprises release 71.6 million cubic metres of polluted, waste water a year into the sea. In Derbent 2.8 thousand tones of waste is released into the atmosphere by 36 industrial enterprises.

         Investigation undertaken for the “Kaspiy” showed considerable pollution of the coastal territories with large traces of lead and pyreno-benzenul elements. Much greater concentrations of these toxins could be found in industrial regions, large areas of the Technical Economic Systems and also in warehouses and dumps. Here the concentration of heavy metals and pyreno-benzenyl in the soil exceeded the normal background level in the region of 2-10 times in some places to as much as 70-100 times in others.

         In the next few years we can expect a large increase in pollution as a result of an increase in flooding and erosion in industrial areas such as factories, dumps, petroleum storage deposits and canal networks.

         The most important step to be taken in order to stabilize this situation and to prevent it from getting gradually worse with every year that sea level rises, is to protect not only those areas that are most inhabited but also those areas that are most polluted.

         Text A. Internet

 

Millions of people around the world use the Internet to search for and retrieve information on all sorts of top­ics in a wide variety of areas including the arts, business, government, humanities, news, politics and recreation.

In the past few years, the World Wide Web has gained immense popularity and is now the preferred WIMP (windows, icons, mouse, pointer) Internet service. The Web has three big advantages over the other graphical interfaces we’ve seen so far: hypertext, multimedia, and interactivity. Access to information is now more  “human”, as it is based on the concept of analogy. Web pages can be considered containers for different forms of information: not only text, but also images, sound, animation, and video. This is sometimes called multimodality. The user can interact with the Web server and send e-mail messages. It’s possible to play games, fill in forms, query databases and so forth.

People communicate through chat channels, discussion groups and other means of in­formational exchange. They make commercial and business transactions. All this activity is possible because tens of thousands of networks are con­nected to the Internet and exchange information in the same basic ways. You access this information through one interface or tool called a Web browser.

     If you are an engineer, like me, the Internet is very precious indeed. You can find software at will, technical papers, documents, databases and so on . In fact, I could no longer live “professionally” without the Internet.

Text B. The Internet Given to the World Wide Web

 

President Eisenhower established the Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA), an organization including many of the nations leading scientists. They developed the first successful American satellite in less than two years. In 1969 ARPA began to focus on communications technology including computers network. ARPA researchers were located at universities and research organizations around the country.

In the early 1980s  local area networks (LAN) were being used in business and industry. They created regional networks to make connections to the main computer more efficient. This created a “chain” of computers that connected each one to the center but also to every other “link” in the chain. That connection to others in the system became as useful as to the main computer.

Meanwhile in Europe, researchers at CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics) were struggling with their own computer networking problems.

Throughout the system people used different techniques, protocols, and equipment making communication between computers very complex. In 1980, Tim Berners-Lee, a consultant at CERN, wrote a programme called “Enquire – Within – Upon - Everything”, enabling links to be made between any point in the system. Nine years later Berners-Lee wrote “Information Management: A Proposal” and created standards for data, and a universal addressing system. That way any document on ten Internet could be retrieved and viewed. In 1990, CERN was the largest Internet site in Europe. Over the next year or two, the proposal was circulated and revised, resulting in an initial programme being developed that was dubbled the World Wide Web.

By October 1993 there were more than 200 Web servers. In July 1996, there were 3054 Internet service providers and projections of Web user sessions rising to 15.79 billion in the year 2000.

Kazakhstan’s Oil and Gas

        

The aim of this article is to provide a  description of Kazakhstan’s huge oil and gas energy resources. According to the World Bank in 1994 the country had reserves of oil and gas running to some 13.0 billion tones. The resources available in the oil fields runs to some 2.1 billion tons and there may be as much as 1.6 trillion cubic metres of gas in reserve. These deposits are to be found mainly in the West of the country. The main geographical divisions of Kazakhstan’s oil and gas deposits are: the Caspian, Mangistau, Usturt in the West and the South Torgai, Aral, mid-Syrdarya, Shusarysu, Balhash, Alakol, Zaisan. There is a possibility that there may be as many undiscovered deposits as those which are already known.

         The Caspian region has 83 main gas deposits which hold about 2 trillion cubic metres of natural gas. The Caspian fields account for the greatest part, approx. 90 % of oil and gas production in the country. Today and in the nearest future, oil production and export will provide a substantial part of Kazakhstan’s income.  The project of Caspian shelf development is a giant project that can involve companies with different business profiles and from different countries.

         Kazakhstan’s natural gas reserves come to 2.0 trillion cubic metres of concentrated in 29 condensate deposits and more than 1.0 trillion cubic metres of dissolved gas in 57 oil and gas condensate fields. The main volume of Kazakhstan’s gas reserves are to be found at the following fields: Karachaganak oil and gas condensated field with reserves of about 1.4 trillion cubic metres of gas. Tengis oil field with 0.3 trillion cubic metres. Zhanazhol field with 0.13 trillion cubic metres. Urikhtaus oil and gas condensate field with more than 40 billion cubic metres.

The Karachaganak field alone holds 72% of this prospective gas resource. Karachaganak is a “Super Giant” oil and gas condensate field, discovered in 1979 in the Uralsky region in West Kazakhstan. It covers an area of around 500 square kilometers. The reservoir is deep-from 3,600 to 5,150 metres.

 Some of the biggest main gas pipelines go through Kazakhstan. The Central Asia has five gas pipelines: length  821 kilometres, diameter 1020-1420 mm, capacity up to 185 million cubic metres a day. Development of the gas pipeline network is among the top priorities in the general development of pipeline transport in the country.

According to the experts by the year 2011 Kazakhstan’s known gas reserves will be some 3.0 cubic metres, 2.8 trillion of which will be concentrated in the Caspian region.

The country’s population believes that Kazakhstan has the potential to become one of the most rich countries in the world. Sensible and rational use of the country’s natural resources will help turn this belief into concrete reality.

Uran of Kazakhstan

 

 Over 25% of the worlds uranium reserves are concentrated in Kazakhstan.

Recently the only industrial nuclear reactor operating in Kazakhstan was in Aktau; the power of this plant was mainly used to desalinate water.  The construction of the new nuclear power station in Kazakhstan in the near future is unlikely.

In the 1940s, at the beginning of “the nuclear century”, the demand for uranium was determined exclusively by the requirements of the US, German and Soviet military industrials. At present, the world demand for uranium is determined primarily by the requirements of nuclear plants,  17% of the total volume. The total capacity of nuclear stations was 352 GWt and they worked in 26 countries. The leader is USA, which produces 29% of the world nuclear power.

 Two of three decades ago it seemed that nuclear power would enabled mankind to realize one of its dreams: the dream of inexhaustible power source. Uranium nuclear decay produces 2 million times more power than the burning of the same quantity of first class coal. One gram of obvious granite due to its’ uranium and thorium can produce the same amount of power as 5 tons of oil!  Wouldn’t it be better to use an element which seems to have been specially created by nature for mankind’s power requirements than to use other kinds of fuel? The actual nuclear plant’s efficiency, of course, is not so fantastic, but nevertheless, reactor produces the same volume of power per 1 ton of uranium as electric power station produce per about 10 000 tons of oil or 15 000 tons of coal.

    Today the future of nuclear power seems less bright. The term “nuclear winter” was coined 20 years ago. Now the West demonstrated a growing interest in Kazakhstan uranium. In the next few decades we can expect developing of more safer nuclear stations. We can also hope for the development of more efficient long distance power transmission systems.

 

7. Answer the questions.

 

1.     What countries are interested in Kazakhstan uranium?

2.     When did the demand for uranium increase? Why?

3.     How many countries have nuclear stations?

4.     What are the advantages of uranium?

5.     What kind of power plants are in use nowadays?

6.     For what reason are nuclear power plants being built instead of fossil-fuel steam  electric plants?

 

8. Complete the sentences.

 

1)  Over 25 % of the worlds uranium……………..

2)  In the 1940s, at the beginning of “the nuclear century”………..

3)  The total capacity  of  nuclear power stations   was……………

4)  The term “nuclear winter” was coined…………………………

5)  The development of nuclear power in our country……………
