Questão 1. Paired conjunctions have the function to connect two equal grammatical items. Examples:
(a) The research project will take BOTH time AND money.
(b) Yesterday it NOT ONLY rained BUT (ALSO) snowed.
(c) That book is NEITHER interesting NOR accurate.
Considering the CONJUNCTIONS, evaluate the following statements:
I- There is a parallel structure in all the examples above.
II- The same grammatical form should follow each word of the pair.
III- In the example B, we have: NOT ONLY + verb + BUT (ALSO) + verb.
IV- In the paired conjunctions, commas are used to separate each unit.
It is correct only what is stated on:
A) II, III and IV.
B) I, II and III.
C) I, II and IV.
D) I and II.
Questão 2. More than fifty years ago - shortly after lunch on Dec. 23, 1947 - the Digital Revolution was born. It happened on a drizzly Tuesday in New Jersey, when two Bell Labs scientists, William Shockley (1910-1989) and John Bardeen (1908-1991), demonstrated a tiny device they had made from some strips of gold foil, a chip of semiconducting material and a bent paper clip. As their colleagues watched with a mix of wonder and envy, they showed how their gizmo, which was dubbed a transistor, could take an electric current, amplify it, and switch it on and off.
That Digital Revolution is now transforming the end of this century the way the Industrial Revolution transformed the end of the last one. Today, millions of transistors, each costing very little, can be impressed on wafers of silicon. On these microchips, all the world's information and entertainment can be stored in digital form, processed and sent quickly to every corner of a networked planet. 
A partir das informações do texto, de suas leituras e conhecimento de mundo e da língua, assinale a alternativa CORRETA:

Questão 5. O segredo para aumentar vocabulário na língua inglesa não está no fato de decorar várias palavras diferentes ou raras. Na verdade, o que um aprendiz necessita é aprender a utilizar bem as palavras que já sabe. Então, uma boa dica é aprender como as palavras são utilizadas em vários contextos ou em expressões do dia a dia e de maneira correta. Os números são um tópico importante na aprendizagem da língua, pois eles são utilizados em diversos contextos, ou seja, nas transações comerciais, num prontuário médico, nos documentos, entre outros. Sobre a escrita dos numerais, assinale a alternativa CORRETA:
A) Five - fifteen - fifty.
B) One, eleventeen, twenty-one.
C) Four - fourteen - fourty.
D) Eight - eighteen - eightty.
Questão 6. O advérbio é uma palavra que modifica um verbo, um adjetivo ou outro advérbio. Na língua inglesa, os advérbios, de acordo com a circunstância que expressam, podem ser classificados em diversos modelos. Acerca de quatro modelos de uso dos adverbs, associe os itens, utilizando o código a seguir:
I- Adverbs of place.
II- Adverbs of time.
III- Adverbs of frequency.

( ) It's too hot to go there.
( ) I am always tired.
( ) Tomorrow she will have to study hard.
( ) She lives there.
Assinale a alternativa que apresenta a sequência CORRETA:
A) IV - II - III - I.
B) IV - I - II - II.
C) I - III - IV - II.
D) IV - III - II - I.
Questão 7. As preposições de tempo, prepositions of time, mais comuns em inglês são ON, IN e AT e podemos traduzi-las de modo geral como no(s)/na(s) e em às/aos, respectivamente. No entanto, essa correspondência nem sempre é possível, então é melhor entender em que circunstâncias cada preposição é utilizada. Assinale a alternativa CORRETA que apresenta uma das formas de uso da preposition of time ON:
A) "ON" pode ser utilizado diante dos dias da semana, como em: on Monday.
B) "ON" pode ser utilizado diante de refeições: on breakfast.
C) "ON" pode ser utilizado diante de horas, como em: on 5 o'clock.
D) "ON" pode ser utilizado diante de meses: on January.
Questão 8. Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects they modify (larger, smaller). They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared. Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper or lower limit of a quality (the tallest, the smallest). They are used in sentences where a subject is compared to a group of objects. Then, classify with T, the true sentences and with F, the false sentences, about the comparative or superlative adjectives rules:
( ) We use "more" for longer words (two or more syllables).
( ) We use -er for short word (one syllable).
( ) After superlatives we use "than".
Choose the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence:
A) T - F - T.
B) T - T - F.
C) F - T - T.
D) F - F - T.
Questão 9. Sabemos que na língua inglesa nem sempre o que lemos ou escrevemos podemos traduzir ou compreender de maneira literal. Assim, ler nas entre linhas, entender o contexto, conhecer as ditas gírias da língua faz parte de toda essa leitura e compreensão de mundo que necessitamos adquirir. Partindo disso, analise a frase "He is green" e assinale a alternativa CORRETA que apresenta o significado desta expressão:
A) Ele é verde claro.
B) Ele é verde.
C) Ele é um marciano.
D) Ele é imaturo.
Questão 10. Seeds of speech: In the near future, 1.5 billion people - a quarter of the world's population - will speak English. For 1.1 billion, it will be a second or third language. English is rapidly becoming a language for business, science and popular culture. Three quarters of the world's mail and 80% of the electronic mail on the internet use English. There aren't linguistic reasons for this global dominance of English. The grammar is difficult, the pronunciation eccentric, and the spelling peculiar. Maybe the reason is the flexibility of the English language which incorporates words from more than 150 different languages. As English spreads across Australia, Asia and Africa, it will invariably be transformed - even subverted. Perhaps English will fragment into different languages as latin fragmented into French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and other languages 1,500 years ago.
De acordo com o texto, o inglês será a primeira língua de 400 milhões de falantes. A esse respeito, analise as afirmativas a seguir:
I- Há pouca influência de outras línguas na língua inglesa.
II- Àsemelhança do latim, a língua inglesa poderá ser fragmentada em diversas outras línguas.
III- Segundo o texto apresentado anteriormente, o inglês não é muito fácil.
IV- Um outro título que poderia se adequar ao texto apresentado seria: Will Latin repeat English? 
Assinale a alternativa CORRETA:
FONTE: Adapted from an article by James Geary, Time, July 7, 1997, p. 35.
A) II e III.
B) III.
C) II e IV.
D) I.
Questão 11. (ENADE, 2014) 
Language teachers are often frustrated by that students do not automatically transfers the strategies they use when reading in their native language to reading in a language they are learning. Instead, they seem to think reading means starting at the beginning and going word by word, stopping to look up every unknown vocabulary item, until they reach the end. When they do this, students are relying exclusively on their linguistic knowledge, a bottom-up strategy. One of the most important functions of language teachers, then, is to help students move past this idea and use top-down strategies as they do in their native language. Effective teachers show students how they can adjust their reading behavior to deal with a variety of situations, types of input, and reading purposes. They help students develop a set of reading strategies and match appropriate strategies to each reading situation. Some of these strategies are previewing, predicting, skimming, scanning, and paraphrasing texts. They include reviewing titles, section headings, and photo captions to get a sense of the structure and content of a reading selection; using knowledge of the subject matter to make predictions about content and vocabulary and check comprehension; using knowledge of the text type and the author to make predictions about writing style, vocabulary, and content; making a quick survey of the text to get the main idea, confirm or question predictions; guessing prior knowledge of the subject and the ideas in the text as clues to the meaning of unknown words; stopping at the end of a section to check comprehension by restating the information and ideas in the text. When language learners use reading strategies, they find that can control the reading experience, and they gain confidence in their ability to read the language. 
Taking into account the reading strategies mentioned in the text, consider the following statements.
I- Skimming means to glance at the text to find the desired information.
II- Paraphrasing refers to the reproduction of the content of given text.
III- Scanning means to read a text quickly in search of its general idea.
IV- Previous knowledge refers to the knowledge accumulated from one's personal experience.
It is only correct what is stated on:

Questão 12. (ENADE, 2014) Invitation to the Jenny Cheshire Lecture 2014
English in Paradise: a new variety in the Pacific.
Friday, 13 June 2014 at 6:30pm. 
Math Lecture Theatre, 
School of Mathematical Sciences, Mile End Campus
The talk aims to provide a holistic sociohistorical, political as well linguistics account of the process by which a new English emerges in a colonial environment. Taking the case of the Republic of Palau in Micronesia as an example, I will examine, first, the emergence of English in the context of the country's complex colonial past. 
Second, I attempt to apply Schneider's Dynamic Model' of postcolonial English formation to this community. Palau provides an interesting and important testing ground for the model, because few communities in which English has emerged as a result of American as opposed to British colonialism have been examined to date. Finally, I present, based in analyses of recordings of informal conversations among Palauans, an initial portrait of the main linguistic characteristics of Paluan English, and assess the extent to which English is nativising in this small community.
