Asthma from traffic 
Asthma is a serious medical condition because it is lifelong; there is no cure. A study says that pollution from traffic connects 
to 4 millions new cases of asthma in children each year. 
Researchers studied the pollution and how it affects children’s health in 194 countries and 125 large cities. 
This is not the first study to make this claim, but the study’s main author says that it gives a comprehensive idea of the 
problem. She says that it tells where pollution “hot spots” are. 
Some people think rules for pollution need to change and that we need to have cleaner transportation. The author also said

The plane, the pilot and the mechanic. 
 
 
Caderno 3 - EEAR 
Língua Inglesa - 2020 
 
 
Whereas, several test pilots might fly the prototype, each prototype is enrusted to only one mechanic. For him, I’m the pilot 
who is going to fly “his” plane and furnish him with the proof that the work he has lovingly and conscientiously put it on it 
all day, and sometimes all night, has not been in vain. The relation between the pilot, the plane and the mechanic are at 
once very simple – basic, obviously – and very complex when it comes to putting them into words. For the mechanic, the 
plane is a kind of Sleeping Beauty, and he takes care of her and coddles her while she is asleep. As soon as she wakes up, 
she passes into the hands of the pilots, but he only knows the plane when it is “alive”, when it is flying and functioning. The 
moment the plane takes off for a test, the mechanic loses sight of it, but he follows it, he feels it, he is bound to it by a kind 
of sixth sense, or to put it better, by an invisible umbilical cord.

Customs 
It was the small hours of the morning, when we reached London Airport. I had cabled London (England) from Amsterdam 
(Holland), and there was a hired car to meet me, but there was one more contretemps before I reached the haven of my 
flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by carried by the British Customs to open a single bag 
or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme fatigue and nervous 
tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardlystand and to

Halloween 
One fall day, as you walk down the street, you might see ghosts, strange animals, and other weird things. What’s going 
on? It’s probably October 31, or Halloween. Halloween is a day when people go out wearing costumes and colorful makeup. 
People think that Halloween started in Ireland during the 400s. October 31 was the end of summer, and people believe that 
everyone who died during the year come back on that day. To scare away the dead, people put on costumes and went out 
into the streets to make noise. 
Different cultures have different ways of celebrating Halloween. In the United States, it’s the night when children dress up 
in costumes and go to neighbors’ houses to “trick or treat”, or ask for candy. Some adults wear funny or scary costumes 
and go to parties or parades. Halloween has become a fun holiday for both adults and children.

The Magic of Potter 
There was a time when no one knew the name Harry Potter. Now the adventures of this extraordinary student at Hogwarts 
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are read in over 45 languages, including Russian, Thai, and even ancient Greek. No one 
can explain the Harry Potter Phenomenon – not even J. K. Rowling, his creator. 
J. K. Rowling was born in England in 1965. From a young age, she knew she wanted to be a writer. When she was 6, she 
wrote her first story – about a rabbit that gets sick. In 1990, on a trip to London, she got the idea for the boy wizard. She 
soon created a whole cast of unique characters to help Harry battle the forces of darkness. She kept working on the story 
while she was teaching English in Portugal. She finished the first book in the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, 
in 1995 and published it in 1997. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone became an unexpected bestseller.

Investigators find “similarities” between Ethiopian and Lion Air crashes.

Preliminary data recovered from the black boxes of the last week Ethiopian Airlines crash has revealed “similarities” to 
October ‘s fatal Lion Air crash. 
Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 crashed March 10, six minutes after take off, killing all 157 people on board. It was the second 
disaster involving a new Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft in less than six months. In October, all 189 people on board Lion Air 
Flight were killed in Indonesia, 13 minutes after take off. Similarities between the two incidents led aviation authorities 
around the world to ban the use of 737 Max 8s. Investigators suspect the Lion Air crash may have been caused by an angle 
of attack sensor on the outside of the plane that transmited incorrect data, which could have triggered the automated flight 
software that forced the plane’s nose down. The pilots first manually corrected an “automatic aircraft nose down two minutes 
after take off and performed the same procedure again and again before the plane hurtled into the Java Sea.

Iceberg ruptures in Patagonia raise alarm about global warming 
Fabian Andres Cambero 
Two new icebergs have broken off from the Grey Glacier in Chile’s Patagonia in recent weeks. Scientists have linked the

change area of the Chilean Antartic Institute (INACH) “In recent years temperature rises above the normal average and 
intense rainfall were registered with an increase in water level in the lake, factors that could explain the separation.

Reasons why the Airbus A380 failed 
On 14 February 2019, Airbus announced their A380s have been cancelled, with production ending in 2021. After 12 years 
of shaky business and development, its closure didn’t come as a surprise. The dream is over for the world’ largest passenger 
airliner. Why was the king of the airliners forced to land so quikly? Here’s what happened: 
• poor business planing finds itself at the heart of the A380’s downfall. Most of all A380’ eggs were put in a basket 
called Emirates, Airbus biggest buyer. 
• bigger isn’t always better. With a wingspan of almost 80 meters was difficult to guide the giant four-turbine around 
airports. 
• airbus failed to antecipate how consumer’s tastes in air travel would change over the years. Passengers nowadays 
prefer smaller airports, using direct routes to their destinations. 
• although a seating capacity of 800 may seem impressive at first, it is not easy to fill them up, even when you give 
discounts and make promotions. 
Airbus A380’ closure perhaps teaches us all a lesson or two. Dream big, but keep your feet on the ground.

To tip, or not to tip? 
The word tip comes from an old English slang. Americans usually tip people in places like restaurants, airports, hotels, and 
hair salons. 
People who work in these places often get paid low wages. A tip shows that the customer is pleased with service. 
Sometimes it’s hard to know how much to tip. The size of the tip usually depends on the service. People such as parking 
valets or bellshops usually get (small) _____________ tips. The tip for people such as taxi drivers and waiters or waitresses

Comentários: 
A alternativa A está incorreta. O enunciado pede a alternativa que completa a lacuna de forma a formar a “third conditional”. 
A “third conditional” é formada pela estrutura “If + past perfect ... would/wouldn’t + have + past participle”. Essa alternativa 
traria o past perfect duas vezes na sentença, o que não condiz com a estrutura citada acima. 
A alternativa B está incorreta. O enunciado pede a alternativa que completa a lacuna de forma a formar a “third conditional”. 
A “thirdconditional” é formada pela estrutura “If + past perfect ... would/wouldn’t + have + past participle”. Essa alternativa 
traria o “would”, mas sem a estrutura “perfect” (have + past participle) depois. 
A alternativa C está incorreta. O enunciado pede a alternativa que completa a lacuna de forma a formar a “third conditional”. 
A “third conditional” é formada pela estrutura “If + past perfect ... would/wouldn’t + have + past participle”. Essa alternativa 
traria o “could + verb”, o que não condiz com a estrutura citada acima. 
A alternativa D está correta. O enunciado pede a alternativa que completa a lacuna de forma a formar a “third conditional”.

a) saw – haven’t see 
b) saw – haven’t seen 
c) have seen – didn’t see 
d) have seen – haven’t seen 
 
Comentários: 
A primeira lacuna deve ser preenchida por “saw”. A expressão “last Sunday” usada no final da frase nos dá a noção de 
tempo definido e essa é uma das situações de uso do past simple. Portanto, é perfeito o uso do past simple nessa situação. 
A segunda lacuna deve ser preenchida por “haven’t seen”. A expressão “for years” indica tempo decorrido, sendo esse o 
principal sinal que a frase nos oferece de que precisamos usar o present perfect para preencher a lacuna. 
Temos a sequência: saw / haven’t seen

Read the text below and answer question 3. 
Economists have recognized that physical beauty affects wages, even in occupations where appearance does not seem 
relevant to job performance. It seems that attractive men and women are paid more than ordinary people for the same 
work. 
(Taken from The International Herald Tribune) 
3 – (Estratégia Militares 2020– EEAR/2016) Choose the best alternative that presents the correct verb tense and the 
voice of the verbs underlined in the text, respectively. 
a) present perfect/active voice; simple present/passive voice. 
b) simple present/passive voice; present perfect/active voice. 
c) simple past/passive voice; present perfect/active voice. 
d) past perfect/active voice; simple present/passive voice. 
 
Comentários: 
O primeiro verbo sublinhado é “have recognized”. Podemos observar a estrutura “have + past participle”, o que nos 
remete ao tempo verbal present perfect. Além disso, podemos observar que os economistas são as pessoas que executam 
a ação de ter reconhecido algo. Portanto, podemos afirmar que esse verbo está na voz ativa, ou active voice. 
O primeiro verbo sublinhado é “are paid”. Podemos observar que o verbo to be está no presente ao ser conjugado como 
“are” e, assim, podemos afirmar que este verbo está conjugado no simple present, ainda que “paid” esteja no particípio. 
Além disso, podemos observar que os homens e mulheres atraentes sofrem a ação de receber o pagamento. Portanto, 
podemos afirmar que esse verbo está na voz passiva, ou passive voice. Isso explica o uso do particípio no verbo “paid” e 
ainda explica o porquê de o verbo estar no simple present. 
Temos a sequência: present perfect / active voice; simple present / passive voice.

a) mice – fish 
b) mice – fishs 
c) mouses – fishs 
d) mouses – fishes 
 
Comentários: 
A alternativa A está correta. O plural de “mouse” é “mice”, assim, a primeira palavra tem seu plural corretamente 
apresentado. Já a palavra “fish” se mantém invariável por se tratar de um substantivo incontável. Portanto, a alternativa 
está correta. 
A alternativa B está incorreta. O plural de “mouse” é “mice”, assim, a primeira palavra tem seu plural corretamente 
apresentado. Já a palavra “fish” se mantém invariável por se tratar de um substantivo incontável. Portanto, o erro da 
alternativa está na adição do “S” à palavra “fish”. 
A alternativa C está incorreta. O plural de “mouse” é “mice”, assim, a primeira palavra tem seu plural incorretamente

Comentários: 
A primeira lacuna deve ser preenchida por “mine”. O fato de a lacuna vir no final da frase e de a palavra “pencil” não 
aparecer de forma repetida após a lacuna são os maiores indicativos que nós temos de que precisamos preencher a lacuna 
com um pronome possessivo, e não com um adjetivo possessivo. Portanto, é correto usar “mine” ao invés de “my”. 
A segunda lacuna deve ser preenchida por “hers”. O fato de a lacuna vir no final da frase e de a palavra “pencil” não 
aparecer de forma repetida após a lacuna são os maiores indicativos que nós temos de que precisamos preencher a lacuna

c) an adverb 
 
 
Caderno 3 - EEAR 
Língua Inglesa - 2020 
 
 
d) an adjective 
Comentários: 
A alternativa A está incorreta. A palavra “noun” significa substantivo, classe gramatical que se dedica a nomear coisas, 
função essa que não é exercida pela palavra “fast” destacada no enunciado, pois “fast” está cumprindo a função de modificar 
o verbo “learns” no trecho. 
A alternativa B está incorreta. A palavra “article” significa artigo, classe gramatical que se dedica a acompanhar, definindo 
ou indefinindo os substantivos, função essa que não é exercida pela palavra “fast” destacada no enunciado, pois “fast” está 
cumprindo a função de modificar o verbo “learns” no trecho. 
A alternativa C está correta. A palavra “adverb” significa advérbio, classe gramatical que se dedica a modificar verbos, 
adjetivos ou outros advérbios, função que é exercida pela palavra “fast” destacada no enunciado, pois “fast” está cumprindo 
a função de modificar o verbo “learns” no trecho. 
A alternativa D está incorreta. A palavra “adjective” significa adjetivo, classe gramatical que se dedica a modificar

Paul feels very sick and dizzy. I think he has been drinking all night again. He ____ get out of bed this morning. 
a) will 
b) must 
c) can’t 
d) could 
 
Comentários: 
A alternativa A está incorreta. O uso de “will” para preencher a lacuna não teria sentido, pois a frase diz que Paul se sente 
mal e tonto. Acho que ele esteve bebendo a noite toda de novo. Ele vai levantar da cama essa manhã. Perceba que não 
faz sentido dizer que ele vai levantar da cama se ele se sente mal e tonto. Seria lógico dizer que ele não consegue levantar 
da cama, e não que ele vai levantar. 
A alternativa B está incorreta. O uso de “must” para preencher a lacuna não teria sentido, pois a frase diz que Paul se sente 
mal e tonto. Acho que ele esteve bebendo a noite toda de novo. Ele tem que levantar da cama essa manhã. Perceba que 
não faz sentido dizer que ele vai levantar da cama se ele se sente mal e tonto. Seria lógico dizer que ele não consegue 
levantar da cama, e não que ele tem que levantar. 
A alternativa C está correta. A palavra “can’t” é a ideal para preencher a lacuna, pois dá o sentido mais lógico ao trecho. 
Se ele se sente mal e tonto por ter bebido a noite toda, faz sentido que ele não consiga sair da cama de manhã. 
A alternativa D está incorreta. O uso de “could” para preencher a lacuna não teria sentido, pois a frase diz que Paul se sente 
mal e tonto. Acho que ele esteve bebendo a noite toda de novo. Ele poderia levantar da cama essa manhã. Perceba que

Comentários: 
O uso do verbo “stops” antes da lacuna nos permite entender que o próximo verbo (no caso, o verbo “smoke”), deverá ser 
apresentado no gerúndio. O verbo “stop” faz parte de uma lista de verbos que são, normalmente, seguidos por outros 
verbos nas frases. Esses verbos exigem que o verbo subsequente esteja no gerúndio. Assim, temos: Scientists say that

A alternativa B está incorreta. O texto aponta Marin como um dos 14 acusados de participar de esquemas de corrupção 
dentro da FIFA. 
A alternativa C está correta. O texto diz que, dos 14 acusados de participação no esquema de corrupção, apenas dois não 
são cidadãos de nações da América Latina ou Caribe, enquanto a alternativa diz que apenas dois são cidadãos dessas

A alternativa B está correta. “Americas” não é um adjetivo no texto, mas sim um substantivo. Podemos confirmar isso pelo 
fato de haver um artigo definido “the” referindo-se a “Americas”, pois artigos referem-se a substantivos. 
A alternativa C está incorreta. “Caribbean” é um adjetivo, pois está modificando o substantivo “nations” no terceiro parágrafo

A alternativa B está incorreta. O apóstrofo seguido de “S” na palavra “Brazil’s” é um indicativo de posse, pois indica que a 
ditadura militar pertence ao Brasil. 
A alternativa C está incorreta. O apóstrofo seguido de “S” na palavra “investigation’s” é um indicativo de posse, pois indica 
que o foco pertence à investigação. 
A alternativa D está correta. O apóstrofo seguido de “S” na palavra “Department’s” não é um indicativo de posse, pois 
trata-se da contração de “Department is” e não de posse, já que o departamento está acusando Marin (Department is

The story of a blind girl 
There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He 
was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend. 
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend 
asked her, “Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?” 
The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away 
in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying: “Just take care of my eyes dear.”

A alternativa A está incorreta. O texto não fala sobre a satisfação de Thomas Edison acerca da invenção da lâmpada, o texto

Comentários: 
A alternativa A está incorreta. Para que a substituição fosse correta, deveria haver uma negativa, pois a frase do enunciado 
está na negativa, e a alternativa estána afirmativa. 
A alternativa B está correta. A substituição seria perfeita, pois a frase está na negativa e usa a palavra “anything”, que é 
exatamente a palavra usada e mais indicada para esse tipo de situação. 
A alternativa C está incorreta. A palavra “something” está sendo incorretamente usada, pois ela não é usada em frases 
negativas, apenas em afirmativas. 
A alternativa D está incorreta. O problema dessa alternativa não está na estrutura, mas sim na semântica, pois a frase do 
enunciado diz que eles não aprenderam nada, enquanto a frase da alternativa diz que eles não aprenderam tudo.

After his return _____ Rome, Will couldn’t find his luggage in the airport baggage area. He went to the lost luggage office 
and told the woman there that his bags hadn’t arrived on the carousel. 
She smiled and told him not to worry because they were trained professionals and he was in good hands. 
Then she asked Will, “Has your plane arrived yet?”

What was lost and what survived devastating Notre Dame fire 
David K. Li 
Some of the most prized, centuries-old relics of France and Christianity survived the devastating Notre Dame Cathedral fire 
that almost wiped out the cherished Paris landmark. 
According to Culture Minister Frank Riester the “most precious treasures” were largely spared. Many of the works will be 
stored at Paris’ City Hall and the Louvre, where they will be examined, treated for damage and protected. 
Monday’s fire almost destroyed the entire cathedral, wich has stood in Paris and survived nearly 900 years of tumultuous 
French history. 
So far, authorities have said blaze appears to be an accident, possibly connected to a renovation project carried out by five 
companies. 
The fire was finally extinguished after nine hours of work.

Comentários: 
A alternativa A está incorreta. O texto afirma que o fogo foi apagado após nove horas de trabalho, e não depois de mais de 
um dia de trabalho, como diz a alternativa. 
A alternativa B está incorreta. O texto diz que o ministro da cultura afirmou que os tesouros mais preciosos foram, em sua 
maioria, salvos. Já a alternativa diz que nada de valor foi salvo. 
A alternativa C está correta. O texto fala que a catedral é uma das mais prezadas relíquias do cristianismo, e também diz 
que a catedral fica em Paris e sobreviveu a por volta de 900 anos de história francesa tumultuada, exatamente o que diz a 
alternativa. 
A alternativa D está incorreta. O problema dessa alternativa está em dizer que a restauração estava sendo feita pelo governo,

Asthma from traffic 
Asthma is a serious medical condition because it is lifelong; there is no cure. A study says that pollution from traffic connects 
to 4 millions new cases of asthma in children each year. 
Researchers studied the pollution and how it affects children’s health in 194 countries and 125 large cities. 
This is not the first study to make this claim, but the study’s main author says that it gives a comprehensive idea of the 
problem. She says that it tells where pollution “hot spots” are. 
Some people think rules for pollution need to change and that we need to have cleaner transportation. The author also said 
that there are other pollutants in the world causing deseases, such as lung cancer, strokes, heart disease and developmental 
issues.

The plane, the pilot and the mechanic. 
Whereas, several test pilots might fly the prototype, each prototype is enrusted to only one mechanic. For him, I’m the pilot 
who is going to fly “his” plane and furnish him with the proof that the work he has lovingly and conscientiously put it on it 
all day, and sometimes all night, has not been in vain. The relation between the pilot, the plane and the mechanic are at 
once very simple – basic, obviously – and very complex when it comes to putting them into words. For the mechanic, the 
plane is a kind of Sleeping Beauty, and he takes care of her and coddles her while she is asleep. As soon as she wakes up, 
she passes into the hands of the pilots, but he only knows the plane when it is “alive”, when it is flying and functioning. The 
moment the plane takes off for a test, the mechanic loses sight of it, but he follows it, he feels it, he is bound to it by a kind 
of sixth sense, or to put it better, by an invisible umbilical cord.

Customs 
It was the small hours of the morning, when we reached London Airport. I had cabled London (England) from Amsterdam 
(Holland), and there was a hired car to meet me, but there was one more contretemps before I reached the haven of my 
flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by carried by the British Customs to open a single bag 
or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme fatigue and nervous 
tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand and to

Halloween 
 
 
Caderno 3 - EEAR 
Língua Inglesa - 2020 
 
 
One fall day, as you walk down the street, you might see ghosts, strange animals, and other weird things. What’s going 
on? It’s probably October 31, or Halloween. Halloween is a day when people go out wearing costumes and colorful makeup. 
People think that Halloween started in Ireland during the 400s. October 31 was the end of summer, and people believe that 
everyone who died during the year come back on that day. To scare away the dead, people put on costumes and went out 
into the streets to make noise. 
Different cultures have different ways of celebrating Halloween. In the United States, it’s the night when children dress up 
in costumes and go to neighbors’ houses to “trick or treat”, or ask for candy. Some adults wear funny or scary costumes 
and go to parties or parades. Halloween has become a fun holiday for both adults and children.

The Magic of Potter 
There was a time when no one knew the name Harry Potter. Now the adventures of this extraordinary student at Hogwarts 
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are read in over 45 languages, including Russian, Thai, and even ancient Greek. No one 
can explain the Harry Potter Phenomenon – not even J. K. Rowling, his creator. 
J. K. Rowling was born in England in 1965. From a young age, she knew she wanted to be a writer. When she was 6, she 
wrote her first story – about a rabbit that gets sick. In 1990, on a trip to London, she got the idea for the boy wizard. She 
soon created a whole cast of unique characters to help Harry battle the forces of darkness. She kept working on the story 
while she was teaching English in Portugal. She finished the first book in the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, 
in 1995 and published it in 1997. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone became an unexpected bestseller.
