UNIVERSITY OF MONTENEGRO INSTITUTE OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEST – coll. 1 Name ________________________ Index _______ Faculty ____________________ Task 1 Read the text and decide which answer best fits each space. Physics no longer tries to predict exactly what will happen; it is now content with predicting the probabilities of a _____________ of possible outcomes. It is not clear whether probability is being used in quantum mechanics, as in the ____________ theory of gases, to cover up our ignorance of some underlying specific description of the ____________, a description which assigns an exact position to the particle which is revealed by the measurement, or whether probability is being used to provide a complete and fundamental description of the particle. In the latter case, it is pointless or meaningless to speculate on where the particle is prior _____________ the measurement. Its exact position is not revealed by the measurement, but _____________ into existence by the measurement; the particle, like the experimenter, is surprised by the outcome! 1. A. motion 2. A. kinetic 3. A. particle 4. A. than 5. A. brought B. state B. magnetic B. atom B. off B. brings C. range C. reverse C. quantity C. of C. bring D. particle D. complete D. molecule D. to D. bringing 5 Task 2 Translate these sentences. 1. The key idea is that a wave function represents a quantum state of a particle, a state of motion that bears only a passing resemblance to the well-defined trajectories of classical physics. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. A quantum state is a linear superposition of other quantum states which means that a particle in one quantum state is also simultaneously in other quantum states. This property is called the principle of linear superposition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. There is no such thing as a perfect simple harmonic oscillator – if your stretch it too far the spring is going to break, and typically Hooke’s law fails long before that point is reached. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4. The paradigm for a classic harmonic oscillator is a mass m attached to a spring of force constant k. The motion is governed by Hooke’s law. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5. The first term represents the kinetic energy of the particle, and the second term represents the potential energy in which it resides. In order to find the energy levels and the corresponding energy eigenstates, we must solve the time-independent Schrödinger equation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5 Task 3 Read the passage and fill in the gaps. This energy ____________ is noteworthy for three reasons. Firstly, the energies are "quantized", and may only take the __________ values of times 1/2, 3/2, 5/2, and so forth. This is a feature of many quantum mechanical systems. In the following section on ladder operators, we will engage in a more detailed examination of this phenomenon. Secondly, the lowest achievable energy is not zero, but , which is called the "ground state energy" or zero-point energy. In the __________ state, according to quantum mechanics, an ___________ performs null oscillations and its average kinetic energy is positive. It is not obvious that this is significant, because normally the zero of energy is not a physically meaningful quantity, only differences in energies. Nevertheless, the ground state energy has many implications, particularly in quantum __________. The final reason is that the energy levels are equally spaced, unlike the Bohr model or the particle in a box. gravity basic ground atom particle oscillator spectrum equal quantum discrete 5 Task 4 Explain potential well. 5 GRAMMAR SECTION Task 5 In the following sentences, fill in the gaps with one of the following quantifiers: much, many, few, little, most 1. Our yard looks awful this summer. There are too ____weeds. 2. I didn't use _____fertilizer last spring, and that has made a difference. 3. Also, I've paid attention to how _______rain we've had. 4. I'm afraid it's rained _______times this summer, and the grass is turning brown and dying. 5. _______experts say you should fertilize your lawn in the fall. Task 6 Use the correct relative pronoun. Indicate where the pronoun can be omitted (-). 1. The book ________________ I got from the library is due tomorrow. 2. My father, _______________ I love a lot, congratulated me on a job well done. 3. I am always frustrated by people _______________ talk while watching a movie. 4. The store no longer sold the computer _______________ I wanted. 5. We walked past the church in ________________ I was baptized. Complete the sentences with a verb from the box in either its present or past participle form. ruin finish steal say feel 1. Jo was in a bad mood for the whole week , completely ______________ our holiday. 2. After ________________ her exams, Maggie went out to celebrate. 3. Jewelry _______________ in the robbery has never been recovered. 4. I got a letter from the Tax Office _______________ that I owe them 1.000 pounds. 5. ________________ hungry, I decided to make myself a sandwich. Task 7 Choose the correct form of the verb. 1. A B Why are you working so hard these days? Because I ____________________ (buy) a car, so I’m saving as much as I can. 2. A B A B What ____________________ (you, buy) Jill for her birthday? Some chocolates. She doesn’t like chocolate. Oh. I _________________ (buy) her a book, then. 3. A B Dad, can you mend this for me? I can’t, sorry. Ask Mum. She ________________ (do) it for you 4. A B Why are you cooking so much food? Because some friends ____________________ (come) for supper 20 Total 40
