And now it’s happening again to Big Mike’s successor – the Cavendish.</p><p>With its easily transported, thick-skinned and sweet-tasting fruit, the Gros Michel banana plant dominated the plantations of Central</p><p>America. United Fruit, the main grower and exporter in South America at the time, mass-produced its bananas in the most e�cient way</p><p>possible: it cloned shoots from the stems of plants instead of growing plants from seeds, and cultivated them in densely packed �elds.</p><p>Unfortunately, these conditions are also perfect for the spread of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense, which attacks the</p><p>plant’s roots and prevents it from transporting water to the stem and leaves. The TR-1 strain of the fungus was resistant to crop sprays and</p><p>travelled around on boots or the tyres of trucks, slowly infecting plantations across the region. In an attempt to escape the fungus, farmers</p><p>abandoned infected �elds, �ooded them and then replanted crops somewhere else, often cutting down rainforest to do so.</p><p>Their efforts failed. So, instead, they searched for a variety of banana that the fungus didn’t affect. They found the Cavendish, as it was</p><p>called, in the greenhouse of a British duke. It wasn’t as well suited to shipping as the Gros Michel, but its bananas tasted good enough to keep</p><p>consumers happy. Most importantly, TR-1 didn’t seem to affect it. In a few years, United Fruit had saved itself from bankruptcy by �lling its</p><p>plantations with thousands of the new plants, copying the same monoculture growing conditions Gros Michel had thrived in.</p><p>While the operation was a huge success for the Latin American industry, the Cavendish banana itself is far from safe. In 2014, South East</p><p>Asia, another major banana producer, exported four million tons of Cavendish bananas. But, in 2015, its exports had dropped by 46 per cent</p><p>thanks to a combination of another strain of the fungus, TR-4, and bad weather.</p><p>Growing practices in South East Asia haven’t helped matters. Growers can’t always afford the expensive lab-based methods to clone</p><p>plants from shoots without spreading the disease. Also, they often aren’t strict enough about cleaning farm equipment and quarantining</p><p>infected �elds. As a result, the fungus has spread to Australia, the Middle East and Mozambique – and Latin America, heavily dependent on its</p><p>monoculture Cavendish crops, could easily be next.</p><p>Racing against the inevitable, scientists are working on solving the problem by genetically modifying the Cavendish with genes from TR-4-</p><p>resistant banana species. Researchers at the Queensland University of Technology have successfully grown two kinds of modi�ed plant which</p><p>have remained resistant for three years so far. But some experts think this is just a more sophisticated version of the same temporary solution</p><p>the original Cavendish provided. If the new bananas are planted in the same monocultures as the Cavendish and the Gros Michel before it, the</p><p>risk is that another strain of the disease may rise up to threaten the modi�ed plants too.</p><p>Choose the alternative which shows a condition.</p><p>A “…it cloned shoots from the stems of plants instead of growing plants from seeds”</p><p>B “So, instead, they searched for a variety of banana that the fungus didn’t affect.”</p><p>C “If the new bananas are planted in the same monocultures as the Cavendish and the Gros Michel before it”</p><p>D “Also, they often aren’t strict enough about cleaning farm equipment”</p><p>Questão 4/100</p><p>The First Olympic Games</p><p>On April 6, 1896, 125 years ago, the �rst modern Olympic Games started in Athens, Greece.</p><p>The Games lasted 10 days and 241 athletes took part. The athletes came from 14 countries, and they competed in 43 different events. All</p><p>athletes were European, but there was one  exception, the US team. Winners got a silver medal and athletes who were second got</p><p>a copper medal.</p><p>Later, the International Olympic Committee changed these prizes. Winners got a gold medal, and athletes who were second got a silver</p><p>medal. Athletes on third place got a copper medal.</p><p>The 1896 Olympics were the largest sporting event so far, and they were very successful. Greece hosted the Olympics again 108 years</p><p>later, in Summer 2004.</p><p>In “the largest sporting event”, largest is in the:</p><p>A Comparative of superiority</p><p>B Comparative of equality</p><p>C Superlative of inferiority</p><p>D Superlative of superiority</p><p>LISTA DE EXERCÍCIOS</p><p>QUESTOES DE INGLES</p><p>CONTROLE: 930aa3f2c762fd0e4787a7def79e385b1b612d8139e9605d0f18ca284501fbbfd59f06b1c1018500f5ac85b3ae6f9c83d9301a37edc098c955f6e35ea892454a968f7d28f5b63f5a2753aa4f7beacf7b0b9a514b305e82c7da4e1317bfbdd1f18493f0c96f671a6e6f1c37b4289693a2d4cdaea673baf853d773eba5a9d0eebb4bb2e237a6c45ca4f43cada51755890e</p><p>Questão 5/100</p><p>The woman who created the technology behind internet calls explains what it takes to innovate</p><p>If you've ever wondered how a Zoom call works, you might want to ask Marian Croak, Vice-President of Engineering at Google.

Croak describes how at the time "many people were sceptical – and they were right</p><p>for that time. But with ______ work and a lot of testing and experimentation, you see what we've accomplished today."</p><p>Is the worst of times the best of times for innovation?</p><p>Croak spoke about history and seeing this moment in time as part of a trajectory of bursts of innovation that happen at di�cult times.

In fact, when asked</p><p>what their idea of a good day was, only 1 in 7 said that they would turn on the television.</p><p>British teenagers have always retreated to their bedrooms, leaving the younger children to play in communal spaces such as the sitting</p><p>room, garden or kitchen. However, children from the age of 9 are now turning to their bedrooms as a place to socialize.</p><p>Bedroom culture is a phenomenon of the past 20 years with families getting smaller and homes getting more spacious. Increasing</p><p>prosperity has also contributed to the rise of the bedroom culture.</p><p>Of British children aged 6 to 17, 72% have a room they do not have to share with a sibling, 68% have their own music installation, 34%</p><p>have an electronic games controller hooked up to the television, 21% have a PC. Only 1%, on the other hand, have an Internet connection in</p><p>their bedroom.</p><p>On average, children devote 5 hours a day to screen media. Even so, only 1 child in 100 can be classed as a real screen addict, a child who</p><p>spends worrying 7 hours or more watching TV or playing computers games.</p><p>As the use of PCs proliferates, reading skills are expected to suffer. Nevertheless, 57% of children say they still enjoy reading, and 1 in 5</p><p>teenagers can be classed as a book-lover.</p><p>As a result of bedroom culture, it is becoming rarer for children over the age of 10 to watch television with their parents. Once in their</p><p>rooms, children tend to stay up watching television for as long as they wish. One father told researchers that he drew the line at 9 pm. His son,</p><p>on the other hand, said: “They tell us to go up at about 9.30 or 10 or something, and then we just watch until they come up and tell us to switch</p><p>it off at 11 or 11.30.”</p><p>The underlined pronoun “themselves”, in the   paragraph, refers to:</p><p>A Parents</p><p>B Children</p><p>C Individualistic activities</p><p>D Younger children</p><p>E Researchers</p><p>Questão 51/100</p><p>Choose the correct question to complete the sentence There was one exception, ________?</p><p>A Was it</p><p>B Wasn't it</p><p>C Wasn't there</p><p>D Did it</p><p>1st</p><p>LISTA DE EXERCÍCIOS</p><p>QUESTOES DE INGLES</p><p>CONTROLE: 930aa3f2c762fd0e4787a7def79e385b1b612d8139e9605d0f18ca284501fbbfd59f06b1c1018500f5ac85b3ae6f9c83d9301a37edc098c955f6e35ea892454a968f7d28f5b63f5a2753aa4f7beacf7b0b9a514b305e82c7da4e1317bfbdd1f18493f0c96f671a6e6f1c37b4289693a2d4cdaea673baf853d773eba5a9d0eebb4bb2e237a6c45ca4f43cada51755890e</p><p>Questão 52/100</p><p>Many studies about language learning ask the question: What makes a good language learner? There are some things that good language</p><p>learners do and some things they don't do. Here are some of the most useful suggestions from studies.</p><p>Don't be afraid of making mistakes. People often get things wrong. Good language learners notice their mistakes and learn from them.</p><p>Do group activities. People use language to communicate with other people. A good language learner always looks for opportunities to</p><p>talk with other students.</p><p>Make notes during every class. Notes help you to remember new language. Look at your notes when you do your homework.</p><p>Use a dictionary. Good language learners often use dictionaries to check the meaning of words they don't know. They also make their</p><p>own vocabulary lists.</p><p>Think in the language you're learning outside the classroom. When you're shopping or walking down the street, remember useful words</p><p>and phrases. Sometimes, when you're at home, say new words to practise your pronunciation.</p><p>Do extra practice. Test and improve your language, reading and listening skills with self-study material. You can �nd a lot of this online.</p><p>Imagine yourself speaking in the language. Many good language learners can see and hear themselves speaking in the language. This</p><p>helps their motivation.</p><p>Enjoy the process. Good language learners have fun with the language. Watch a TV series or �lm, listen to songs, play video games or</p><p>read a book. It's never too late to become a good language learner.</p><p>Read the following sentence.</p><p>“Do group activities.”</p><p>The correct negative form is:</p><p>A Do not group activities.</p><p>B Don’t do group activities.</p><p>C You don’t group activities.</p><p>D Doesn’t do group activities.</p><p>E Do not to do group activities.</p><p>Questão 53/100</p><p>How to become a stunt double</p><p>A stunt double stands in for the actor when the action or �ght scene gets dangerous or goes beyond the capabilities of the actor. To become a</p><p>stunt double, you must be in excellent physical condition and have special skills.</p><p>Instructions:</p><p>1. Exercise regularly if you want to become a stunt double. Eat nutritiously for optimal health and strength.</p><p>2. Take lots of lessons because the more skills you have, the better. Gymnastics is extremely important in becoming a stunt double. Get good</p><p>at trampoline, skateboarding, swimming and high board diving. Take scuba diving lessons. Practice rock climbing and horseback riding. Learn</p><p>to water ski and snow ski.</p><p>3. Enroll in martial arts classes, especially judo. Judo is excellent for learning how to break falls.</p><p>4. Get training in CPR and First Aid. This training looks good on a résumé, especially for stunt double careers. Injuries happen.</p><p>5. Have valid driver’s licenses for both card and motorcycle. Take advanced driving classes so you’ll be quali�ed for di�cult driving scenes.</p><p>6. Move to Hollywood and plan to work your way up from the bottom. You must get into the Screen Actors Guild and have a union card.</p><p>After reading this text, we can deduce that it:</p><p>A Requests new stunt doubles.</p><p>B Recommends ways to deal with wounds and provides tips to be healthy to be a double.</p><p>C Briefs about what people should do to start any career.</p><p>D Questions the problems stunt doubles usually have to face.</p><p>E States that stunt doubles are in high demand in the US</p><p>LISTA DE EXERCÍCIOS</p><p>QUESTOES</p><p>DE INGLES</p><p>CONTROLE: 930aa3f2c762fd0e4787a7def79e385b1b612d8139e9605d0f18ca284501fbbfd59f06b1c1018500f5ac85b3ae6f9c83d9301a37edc098c955f6e35ea892454a968f7d28f5b63f5a2753aa4f7beacf7b0b9a514b305e82c7da4e1317bfbdd1f18493f0c96f671a6e6f1c37b4289693a2d4cdaea673baf853d773eba5a9d0eebb4bb2e237a6c45ca4f43cada51755890e</p><p>Questão 54/100</p><p>Developing pilotage plans on bridge simulators</p><p>In most cases when a pilot is boarding a ship for an arrival, the time for the Master/pilot information exchange is by far too short.

We are working longer</p><p>hours, taking fewer and shorter vacations (and when we do go away, we take our cell phones, PDAs, and laptops along). And we are more</p><p>stressed than ever as increased use of e-mail, voice mail, cell phones, and the internet are destroying any idea of privacy and leisure.</p><p>Since the industrial revolution, people have assumed that new laborsaving devices would free them from the burdens of the workplace</p><p>and give them more time to grow intellectually, creatively, and socially – exploring the arts, keeping up with current events, spending more</p><p>time with friends and family, and even just “goo�ng off”.</p><p>But here we are at the start of the 21st century, enjoying one of the greatest technological boom times in human history, and nothing</p><p>could be more further from the truth. The very tools that were supposed to liberate us have bound us to our work and study in ways that were</p><p>inconceivable just a few years ago. It would seem that technology almost never does what we expect.</p><p>In “the old days”, the lines between work and leisure time were markedly clearer. People left their o�ces at a predictable time, were often</p><p>completely disconnected from and out of touch with their jobs as they traveled to and from work, and were off-duty once they were home.</p><p>That’s no longer true. In today’s highly competitive job market, employers demand increased productivity, expecting workers to put in longer</p><p>hours and to keep in touch almost constantly via fax, cell phones, e-mail, or other communication devices. As a result, employees feel the</p><p>need to check in on what’s going on at the o�ce, even on days off. They feel pressured to work after hours just to catch up on everything they</p><p>have to do. Workers work harder and longer, change their work tasks more frequently, and have more and more reasons to worry about job</p><p>security.</p><p>Bosses, colleagues, and family members – lovers, friends, and spouses too – expect instant responses to voice mail and e-mail</p><p>messages. Even college students have become bound to their desks by an environment in which faculty, friends, and other members of the</p><p>college community increasingly do their work online. Studies of time spent on instant messaging services would probably show staggering</p><p>use.</p><p>This isn’t what technology was supposed to be doing for us. New technologies, from genetic research to the internet, offer all sorts of</p><p>bene�ts and  opportunities. But when new tools make life more di�cult and stressful rather than easier and more meaningful – and we are, as</p><p>a society, barely conscious of it – then something has gone seriously awry, both with our expectations for technology and our understanding</p><p>of how it should bene�t us.</p><p>Katz, J.

We are working longer</p><p>hours, taking fewer and shorter vacations (and when we do go away, we take our cell phones, PDAs, and laptops along). And we are more</p><p>stressed than ever as increased use of e-mail, voice mail, cell phones, and the internet are destroying any idea of privacy and leisure.</p><p>Since the industrial revolution, people have assumed that new laborsaving devices would free them from the burdens of the workplace</p><p>and give them more time to grow intellectually, creatively, and socially – exploring the arts, keeping up with current events, spending more</p><p>time with friends and family, and even just “goo�ng off”.</p><p>But here we are at the start of the 21st century, enjoying one of the greatest technological boom times in human history, and nothing</p><p>could be more further from the truth. The very tools that were supposed to liberate us have bound us to our work and study in ways that were</p><p>inconceivable just a few years ago. It would seem that technology almost never does what we expect.</p><p>In “the old days”, the lines between work and leisure time were markedly clearer. People left their o�ces at a predictable time, were often</p><p>completely disconnected from and out of touch with their jobs as they traveled to and from work, and were off-duty once they were home.</p><p>That’s no longer true. In today’s highly competitive job market, employers demand increased productivity, expecting workers to put in longer</p><p>hours and to keep in touch almost constantly via fax, cell phones, e-mail, or other communication devices. As a result, employees feel the</p><p>need to check in on what’s going on at the o�ce, even on days off. They feel pressured to work after hours just to catch up on everything they</p><p>have to do. Workers work harder and longer, change their work tasks more frequently, and have more and more reasons to worry about job</p><p>security.</p><p>Bosses, colleagues, and family members – lovers, friends, and spouses too – expect instant responses to voice mail and e-mail</p><p>messages. Even college students have become bound to their desks by an environment in which faculty, friends, and other members of the</p><p>college community increasingly do their work online. Studies of time spent on instant messaging services would probably show staggering</p><p>use.</p><p>This isn’t what technology was supposed to be doing for us. New technologies, from genetic research to the internet, offer all sorts of</p><p>bene�ts and  opportunities. But when new tools make life more di�cult and stressful rather than easier and more meaningful – and we are, as</p><p>a society, barely conscious of it – then something has gone seriously awry, both with our expectations for technology and our understanding</p><p>of how it should bene�t us.</p><p>Katz, J.

This generation prefers to communicate through e-</p><p>mail and text messaging rather than face-to-face contact and prefers webinars and online technology to traditional lecture-based</p><p>presentations.</p><p>Family-Centric: The fast-track has lost much of its appeal for Generation Y who is willing to trade high pay for fewer billable hours, �exible</p><p>schedules and a better work/life balance. While older generations may view this attitude as narcissistic or lacking commitment, discipline and</p><p>drive, Generation Y legal professionals have a different vision of workplace ‘expectations and prioritize family over work.</p><p>Achievement-Oriented: Nurtured and pampered _____   parents who did not want to make the mistakes of the previous generation,</p><p>Generation Y is con�dent, ambitious and achievement-oriented. They have high expectations of their employers, seek out new challenges and</p><p>are not afraid to question authority. Generation Y wants meaningful work and a solid learning curve.</p><p>Team-Oriented: As children, Generation Y participated in team sports, play groups and other group activities. They value teamwork and</p><p>seek the input and a�rmation of others. Part of a no-person-left-behind generation, Generation Y is loyal, committed and wants to be included</p><p>and involved.</p><p>Attention-Craving: Generation Y craves attention in the forms of feedback and guidance. They appreciate being kept in the loop and seek</p><p>frequent praise and reassurance.

I imagined my</p><p>students would be recent graduates, around my age, and eager to learn how to actually speak the language they have spent their life studying.</p><p>It turned out, however, that Ken and Margaret are both in their 40s, hold senior positions at the company, and speak con�dent English, though</p><p>slightly accented.</p><p>With a �rm handshake, Ken, a new employee at the �rm, told me he wanted to improve his English pronunciation so that his European</p><p>colleagues would not “mistake me for a minor executive at the company.” Margaret explained that before “selling my company to international</p><p>clients, I would like to sell myself.” Both Ken and Margaret stay in the o�ce after 10pm on weekdays to take lessons with me.</p><p>Although western culture is still viewed with some suspicion, learning English has long been a national obsession. In wealthy middle-</p><p>class families, tiny children who have only just begun to speak a few words in Chinese are soon sat down in front of Disney movies and</p><p>enrolled in bilingual kindergartens. At school, English is taught from a young age and is a required subject on the university entrance exam.</p><p>Diligent learners like Margaret and Ken continue to pursue English long after school, hoping it will give them an advantage in the workplace.</p><p>Recently, however, a reaction against English learning _________ (1). Late last year, education authorities in Beijing said they would</p><p>diminish the weight of English in the college admissions process, with the purpose of “reducing academic pressure for high school students.”</p><p>The announcement was met with many cheers online: some, championing the value of traditional Chinese culture, believe subjects such as</p><p>classical Chinese and calligraphy deserve more attention than English. Others argue that English proves useful for only a small fraction of</p><p>Chinese students after university, too few to justify its mandatory status.</p><p>A few saw it differently. Some commentators wondered if the proposal reveals the insecurity of the Communist Party, at a time when the</p><p>country’s elite are emigrating en masse and intellectuals are relying on foreign media sites to access un�ltered news. “Are you afraid that we</p><p>will all �ee to the US after we master English?” one suggested. “It is another way of keeping us stupid and uninformed,” another said. “It’s the</p><p>same as building the Great Fire Wall for our internet… It’s a step backward, motivated by political conservatism.”</p><p>Most parents and educators doubt the policy will reduce people’s enthusiasm towards English in the long run. The tangible bene�ts that</p><p>pro�ciency in English can bring—admission to western universities and jobs in multinational �rms—are strong incentives, as is the popularity</p><p>of western pop culture. But there are subtler advantages, too. Younger generations are striving to re�ne their increasingly cosmopolitan image,</p><p>and English serves as a symbol for this ambition as well as a tool to realise it.

And now it’s happening again to Big Mike’s successor – the Cavendish.</p><p>With its easily transported, thick-skinned and sweet-tasting fruit, the Gros Michel banana plant dominated the plantations of Central</p><p>America. United Fruit, the main grower and exporter in South America at the time, mass-produced its bananas in the most e�cient way</p><p>possible: it cloned shoots from the stems of plants instead of growing plants from seeds, and cultivated them in densely packed �elds.</p><p>Unfortunately, these conditions are also perfect for the spread of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense, which attacks the</p><p>plant’s roots and prevents it from transporting water to the stem and leaves. The TR-1 strain of the fungus was resistant to crop sprays and</p><p>travelled around on boots or the tyres of trucks, slowly infecting plantations across the region. In an attempt to escape the fungus, farmers</p><p>abandoned infected �elds, �ooded them and then replanted crops somewhere else, often cutting down rainforest to do so.</p><p>Their efforts failed. So, instead, they searched for a variety of banana that the fungus didn’t affect. They found the Cavendish, as it was</p><p>called, in the greenhouse of a British duke. It wasn’t as well suited to shipping as the Gros Michel, but its bananas tasted good enough to keep</p><p>consumers happy. Most importantly, TR-1 didn’t seem to affect it. In a few years, United Fruit had saved itself from bankruptcy by �lling its</p><p>plantations with thousands of the new plants, copying the same monoculture growing conditions Gros Michel had thrived in.</p><p>While the operation was a huge success for the Latin American industry, the Cavendish banana itself is far from safe. In 2014, South East</p><p>Asia, another major banana producer, exported four million tons of Cavendish bananas. But, in 2015, its exports had dropped by 46 per cent</p><p>thanks to a combination of another strain of the fungus, TR-4, and bad weather.</p><p>Growing practices in South East Asia haven’t helped matters. Growers can’t always afford the expensive lab-based methods to clone</p><p>plants from shoots without spreading the disease. Also, they often aren’t strict enough about cleaning farm equipment and quarantining</p><p>infected �elds. As a result, the fungus has spread to Australia, the Middle East and Mozambique – and Latin America, heavily dependent on its</p><p>monoculture Cavendish crops, could easily be next.</p><p>Racing against the inevitable, scientists are working on solving the problem by genetically modifying the Cavendish with genes from TR-4-</p><p>resistant banana species. Researchers at the Queensland University of Technology have successfully grown two kinds of modi�ed plant which</p><p>have remained resistant for three years so far. But some experts think this is just a more sophisticated version of the same temporary solution</p><p>the original Cavendish provided. If the new bananas are planted in the same monocultures as the Cavendish and the Gros Michel before it, the</p><p>risk is that another strain of the disease may rise up to threaten the modi�ed plants too.</p><p>Genetically modifying bananas may:</p><p>A Mean farmers can grow the Gros Michel again</p><p>B Prevent farmers from repeating the mistakes of the past</p><p>C Encourage farmers to try new growing methods</p><p>D Only be a short-term solution</p><p>Questão 8/100</p><p>A child’s advice to his parents</p><p>My hands are small.

The city is referred to as New York City or</p><p>the City of New York to distinguish it from the State of New York, of which it is a part. It has also been called by many nicknames such as the</p><p>“City that Never Sleeps” and the “Center of the Universe.” But the Big Apple is the most famous nickname.</p><p>A global power city, New York exerts a signi�cant impact upon commerce, �nance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education,</p><p>and entertainment. The home of the United Nations Headquarters, New York is an important center for international diplomacy and has been</p><p>described as the cultural and �nancial capital of the world.</p><p>New York traces its roots back to 1624 when it was founded as a trading post by colonists of the Dutch Republic. It was named New</p><p>Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664. New York served as the capital of the United States</p><p>from 1785 until 1790. It has been the country's largest city since 1790.</p><p>The Statue of Liberty, which is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in the middle of New York Harbor, in Manhattan, was</p><p>designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886. It was a gift to the United States from the people of France. The</p><p>statue greeted millions of immigrants as they came to America by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is globally recognized as a</p><p>symbol of the United States and its democracy.</p><p>It has also been called by many nicknames such as the “City that Never Sleeps” and the “Center of the Universe.”, the underlined word can be</p><p>replaced, without changing in meaning, by:</p><p>A A little</p><p>B Lot of</p><p>C Much</p><p>D Plenty of</p><p>E Few</p><p>Questão 96/100</p><p>Bar codes</p><p>Almost everything we buy today is marked by a bar code. It’s also called a UPC or universal product code. They were �rst used in grocery</p><p>stores in 1973 for the computer check-outs that were being developed then. A laser light “reads” thick and thin black bars. Wide bars take</p><p>longer to read than thin ones. This difference in time is changed into digits by the computer. The code does not include the price of the item</p><p>because prices change often, and two stores might have different prices for the same item. The computer reads the code, calls up the price,</p><p>and sends it to the cash register as fast as it takes to make the beeping sound.</p><p>The code is twelve digits divided into four numbers. The �rst number is only one digit and it tells the computer what kind of product it is –</p><p>cereal or meat or magazine, for example.</p><p>The second number is �ve digits. That’s the product number. It tells the size, colour, and other information about the item. It could let the</p><p>computer know that the customer had bought 1 pound of hotdogs or 875 ounces of beef or a pair of socks.</p><p>The last is the check number that tells the computer if any of the other numbers were wrong. It checks for mistakes.</p><p>In “This difference in time is changed into digits by the computer”, the correct active voice is:</p><p>A This difference in time changed into digits by the computer.</p><p>B This difference in time changes into digits by the computer.</p><p>C The computer changed this difference in time into digits.</p><p>D The computer changes this difference in time into digits.</p><p>LISTA DE EXERCÍCIOS</p><p>QUESTOES DE INGLES</p><p>CONTROLE: 930aa3f2c762fd0e4787a7def79e385b1b612d8139e9605d0f18ca284501fbbfd59f06b1c1018500f5ac85b3ae6f9c83d9301a37edc098c955f6e35ea892454a968f7d28f5b63f5a2753aa4f7beacf7b0b9a514b305e82c7da4e1317bfbdd1f18493f0c96f671a6e6f1c37b4289693a2d4cdaea673baf853d773eba5a9d0eebb4bb2e237a6c45ca4f43cada51755890e</p><p>Questão 97/100</p><p>AN INVITATION TO A JOB INTERVIEW</p><p>To: Grace Yang</p><p>Date: 6 September</p><p>Subject: Invitation to job interview</p><p>Dear Grace,</p><p>Thank you for your application for the position of sales manager.</p><p>We would like to invite you for an interview at 10 a.m. on Monday 21 September at our o�ces at The Shard, 32 London Bridge Street, London.</p><p>You will meet with our head of sales, Susan Park, and the interview will last for about 45 minutes.

In fact, when asked</p><p>what their idea of a good day was, only 1 in 7 said that they would turn on the television.</p><p>British teenagers have always retreated to their bedrooms, leaving the younger children to play in communal spaces such as the sitting</p><p>room, garden or kitchen. However, children from the age of 9 are now turning to their bedrooms as a place to socialize.</p><p>Bedroom culture is a phenomenon of the past 20 years with families getting smaller and homes getting more spacious. Increasing</p><p>prosperity has also contributed to the rise of the bedroom culture.</p><p>Of British children aged 6 to 17, 72% have a room they do not have to share with a sibling, 68% have their own music installation, 34%</p><p>have an electronic games controller hooked up to the television, 21% have a PC. Only 1%, on the other hand, have an Internet connection in</p><p>their bedroom.</p><p>On average, children devote 5 hours a day to screen media. Even so, only 1 child in 100 can be classed as a real screen addict, a child who</p><p>spends worrying 7 hours or more watching TV or playing computers games.</p><p>As the use of PCs proliferates, reading skills are expected to suffer. Nevertheless, 57% of children say they still enjoy reading, and 1 in 5</p><p>teenagers can be classed as a book-lover.</p><p>As a result of bedroom culture, it is becoming rarer for children over the age of 10 to watch television with their parents. Once in their</p><p>rooms, children tend to stay up watching television for as long as they wish. One father told researchers that he drew the line at 9 pm. His son,</p><p>on the other hand, said: “They tell us to go up at about 9.30 or 10 or something, and then we just watch until they come up and tell us to switch</p><p>it off at 11 or 11.30.”</p><p>Read the following sentences:</p><p>I. All parents are worried about their children’s safety.</p><p>II. Most of the children said that watching TV is the de�nition of a good day.</p><p>III.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the food</p><p>industry compile sales statistics and keep accurate records. For instance, red meat, which used to be the most popular choice for dinner, is no</p><p>longer an American favorite. Instead, chicken, turkey, and �sh have become more popular. Sales of these foods have greatly increased in</p><p>recent years. This is probably a result of the awareness of the dangers of eating food that contains high levels of cholesterol, or animal fat. It</p><p>is more than likely that an unhealthy diet can damage people’s health.</p><p>According to a recent survey, Americans also change their eating patterns to meet the needs of different situations. For example, they</p><p>choose pasta, fruit and vegetables to give them strength for physical activity. Adults choose foods rich in �ber to prepare them for business</p><p>appointments. For romantic dinners, however, they choose shrimp and lobster.</p><p>Americans’ awareness of nutrition, along with their changing tastes and needs, leads them to consume a wide variety of foods – foods</p><p>for health, for fun and simply for good taste.</p><p>In “Americans also change their eating patterns to meet the needs of different situations.”, the underlined expression means:</p><p>A to reach an agreement</p><p>B to see and talk to someone</p><p>C to satisfy a demand or necessity</p><p>D to touch or join something</p><p>LISTA DE EXERCÍCIOS</p><p>QUESTOES DE INGLES</p><p>CONTROLE: 930aa3f2c762fd0e4787a7def79e385b1b612d8139e9605d0f18ca284501fbbfd59f06b1c1018500f5ac85b3ae6f9c83d9301a37edc098c955f6e35ea892454a968f7d28f5b63f5a2753aa4f7beacf7b0b9a514b305e82c7da4e1317bfbdd1f18493f0c96f671a6e6f1c37b4289693a2d4cdaea673baf853d773eba5a9d0eebb4bb2e237a6c45ca4f43cada51755890e</p><p>Gabarito</p><p>1 A B C D E</p><p>2 A B C D E</p><p>3 A B C D</p><p>4 A B C D</p><p>5 A B C D</p><p>6 A B C D</p><p>7 A B C D</p><p>8 A B C D E</p><p>9 A B C D</p><p>10 A B C D E</p><p>11 A B C D E</p><p>12 A B C D</p><p>13 A B C D</p><p>14 A B C D</p><p>15 A B C D E</p><p>16 A B C D</p><p>17 A B C D</p><p>18 A B C D</p><p>19 A B C D</p><p>20 A B C D</p><p>21 A B C D E</p><p>22 A B C D E</p><p>23 A B C D E</p><p>24 A B C D E</p><p>25 A B C D</p><p>26 A B C D</p><p>27 A B C D E</p><p>28 A B C D E</p><p>29 A B C D E</p><p>30 A B C D E</p><p>31 A B C D</p><p>32 A B C D</p><p>33 A B C D</p><p>34 A B C D E</p><p>35 A B C D</p><p>36 A B C D E</p><p>37 A B C D E</p><p>38 A B C D E</p><p>39 A B C D</p><p>40 A B C D</p><p>41 A B C D E</p><p>42 A B C D E</p><p>43 A B C D</p><p>44 A B C D</p><p>45 A B C D E</p><p>46 A B C D E</p><p>47 A B C D</p><p>48 A B C D</p><p>49 A B C D E</p><p>50 A B C D E</p><p>51 A B C D</p><p>52 A B C D E</p><p>53 A B C D E</p><p>54 A B C D E</p><p>55 A B C D</p><p>56 A B C D</p><p>57 A B C D E</p><p>58 A B C D E</p><p>59 A B C D</p><p>60 A B C D</p><p>61 A B C D E</p><p>62 A B C D</p><p>63 A B C D E</p><p>64 A B C D</p><p>65 A B C D E</p><p>66 A B C D</p><p>67 A B C D</p><p>68 A B C D E</p><p>69 A B C D</p><p>70 A B C D</p><p>71 A B C D E</p><p>72 A B C D E</p><p>73 A B C D E</p><p>74 A B C D</p><p>75 A B C D E</p><p>76 A B C D</p><p>77 A B C D E</p><p>78 A B C D</p><p>79 A B C D</p><p>80 A B C D E</p><p>81 A B C D E</p><p>82 A B C D</p><p>83 A B C D</p><p>84 A B C D E</p><p>85 A B C D E</p><p>86 A B C D</p><p>87 A B C D</p><p>88 A B C D</p><p>89 A B C D E</p><p>90 A B C D</p><p>91 A B C D E</p><p>92 A B C D</p><p>93 A B C D E</p><p>94 A B C D</p><p>95 A B C D E</p><p>96 A B C D</p><p>97 A B C D E</p><p>98 A B C D E</p><p>99 A B C D E</p><p>100 A B C D</p><p>Questão 9/100</p><p>“I work in a fairly traditional o�ce environment doing a typical nine-to-�ve job.

Then I played the same lesson, and</p><p>after that we worked on the di�cult passages, but basically he wanted me to hear my mistakes.

With numbers</p><p>estimated as high as 70 million, Generation Y (also known as the Millennials) is the fastest growing segment of today’s workforce. As law</p><p>�rms compete for available talent, employers cannot ignore the needs, desires and attitudes of this vast generation.</p><p>Below are a few common traits that de�ne Generation Y.</p><p>Tech-Savvy: Generation Y grew up with technology and rely on it to perform their jobs better. Armed with smartphones, laptops,</p><p>cellphones and other gadgets, Generation Y is plugged-in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This generation prefers to communicate through e-</p><p>mail and text messaging rather than face-to-face contact and prefers webinars and online technology to traditional lecture-based</p><p>presentations.</p><p>Family-Centric: The fast-track has lost much of its appeal for Generation Y who is willing to trade high pay for fewer billable hours, �exible</p><p>schedules and a better work/life balance. While older generations may view this attitude as narcissistic or lacking commitment, discipline and</p><p>drive, Generation Y legal professionals have a different vision of workplace ‘expectations and prioritize family over work.</p><p>Achievement-Oriented: Nurtured and pampered _____ parents who did not want to make the mistakes of the previous generation,</p><p>Generation Y is con�dent, ambitious and achievement-oriented. They have high expectations of their employers, seek out new challenges and</p><p>are not afraid to question authority. Generation Y wants meaningful work and a solid learning curve.</p><p>Team-Oriented: As children, Generation Y participated in team sports, play groups and other group activities. They value teamwork and</p><p>seek the input and a�rmation of others. Part of a no-person-left-behind generation, Generation Y is loyal, committed and wants to be included</p><p>and involved.</p><p>Attention-Craving: Generation Y craves attention in the forms of feedback and guidance. They appreciate being kept in the loop and seek</p><p>frequent praise and reassurance. Generation Y may bene�t greatly from mentors who can help guide and develop their young careers.</p><p>Adapted: http://legalcareers.about.com/od/practicetips/a/GenerationY.htm</p><p>The word meaningful, underlined in the text, is</p><p>A An adverb.</p><p>B A verb.</p><p>C A noun.</p><p>D An adjective.</p><p>Questão 26/100</p><p>Are there really squirrels in Australia that can �y?</p><p>Yes?!

People often get things wrong. Good language learners notice their mistakes and learn from them.</p><p>Do group activities. People use language to communicate with other people. A good language learner always looks for opportunities to</p><p>talk with other students.</p><p>Make notes during every class. Notes help you to remember new language. Look at your notes when you do your homework.</p><p>Use a dictionary. Good language learners often use dictionaries to check the meaning of words they don't know. They also make their</p><p>own vocabulary lists.</p><p>Think in the language you're learning outside the classroom. When you're shopping or walking down the street, remember useful words</p><p>and phrases. Sometimes, when you're at home, say new words to practise your pronunciation.</p><p>Do extra practice. Test and improve your language, reading and listening skills with self-study material. You can �nd a lot of this online.</p><p>Imagine yourself speaking in the language. Many good language learners can see and hear themselves speaking in the language. This</p><p>helps their motivation.</p><p>Enjoy the process. Good language learners have fun with the language. Watch a TV series or �lm, listen to songs, play video games or</p><p>read a book.

After a terrible storm almost destroys the ship</p><p>and the base, the crew of his ship believe he is dead. But Mark does not die in the storm, and he has been left behind. Alone on the red planet,</p><p>he has to survive until the next mission to Mars arrives.</p><p>While this novel is �ction, in some ways it feels like non-�ction. It is very scienti�c and packed with details about survival on Mars. Watney</p><p>is a botanist and engineer, and he begins to grow food and produce water in his arti�cial camp. How does he do this? The answers are</p><p>explained with lots of very convincing calculations.</p><p>The author is Andy Weir, and this is his �rst published book. In it he has created a realistic character. There is a lot of humour in the story,</p><p>and the reader can identify with the emotions (although no one can really imagine what it's like to be on Mars). Watney admits at the</p><p>beginning that he is in deep trouble, but he never gives up. Without the character of Mark Watney, this book would only be a scienti�c look at</p><p>survival on Mars. Instead, what The Martian gives us is a realistic look at an intelligent person alone on a planet and trying to survive.</p><p>The majority of the plot takes place on Mars and is written in the form of Watney's journal entries. Unfortunately, the other characters in</p><p>the book (his fellow crew members, the scientists at NASA on Earth) do not get much development and so they often feel one-dimensional.</p><p>I should also mention that the book is thrilling to read.

And now it’s happening again to Big Mike’s successor – the Cavendish.</p><p>With its easily transported, thick-skinned</p><p>and sweet-tasting fruit, the Gros Michel banana plant dominated the plantations of Central</p><p>America. United Fruit, the main grower and exporter in South America at the time, mass-produced its bananas in the most e�cient way</p><p>possible: it cloned shoots from the stems of plants instead of growing plants from seeds, and cultivated them in densely packed �elds.</p><p>Unfortunately, these conditions are also perfect for the spread of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense, which attacks the</p><p>plant’s roots and prevents it from transporting water to the stem and leaves. The TR-1 strain of the fungus was resistant to crop sprays and</p><p>travelled around on boots or the tyres of trucks, slowly infecting plantations across the region. In an attempt to escape the fungus, farmers</p><p>abandoned infected �elds, �ooded them and then replanted crops somewhere else, often cutting down rainforest to do so.</p><p>Their efforts failed. So, instead, they searched for a variety of banana that the fungus didn’t affect. They found the Cavendish, as it was</p><p>called, in the greenhouse of a British duke. It wasn’t as well suited to shipping as the Gros Michel, but its bananas tasted good enough to keep</p><p>consumers happy. Most importantly, TR-1 didn’t seem to affect it. In a few years, United Fruit had saved itself from bankruptcy by �lling its</p><p>plantations with thousands of the new plants, copying the same monoculture growing conditions Gros Michel had thrived in.</p><p>While the operation was a huge success for the Latin American industry, the Cavendish banana itself is far from safe. In 2014, South East</p><p>Asia, another major banana producer, exported four million tons of Cavendish bananas. But, in 2015, its exports had dropped by 46 per cent</p><p>thanks to a combination of another strain of the fungus, TR-4, and bad weather.</p><p>Growing practices in South East Asia haven’t helped matters. Growers can’t always afford the expensive lab-based methods to clone</p><p>plants from shoots without spreading the disease. Also, they often aren’t strict enough about cleaning farm equipment and quarantining</p><p>infected �elds. As a result, the fungus has spread to Australia, the Middle East and Mozambique – and Latin America, heavily dependent on its</p><p>monoculture Cavendish crops, could easily be next.</p><p>Racing against the inevitable, scientists are working on solving the problem by genetically modifying the Cavendish with genes from TR-4-</p><p>resistant banana species. Researchers at the Queensland University of Technology have successfully grown two kinds of modi�ed plant which</p><p>have remained resistant for three years so far. But some experts think this is just a more sophisticated version of the same temporary solution</p><p>the original Cavendish provided. If the new bananas are planted in the same monocultures as the Cavendish and the Gros Michel before it, the</p><p>risk is that another strain of the disease may rise up to threaten the modi�ed plants too.</p><p>Read the fragment below.</p><p>“It wasn’t as well suited to shipping as the Gros Michel, but its bananas tasted good enough to keep consumers happy.

Or have</p><p>you ever eaten a whole packet of biscuits when you were planning to only have one? Or have you stayed up much later than you planned, or</p><p>even all night, watching ‘just one more’ episode of a TV series? All of these are examples of mindlessness. When we live this way, we are not</p><p>fully awake and not fully living our lives.</p><p>What exactly is mindfulness?</p><p>When we are mindful, we are more conscious of our thoughts, our actions and what is happening around us. We might notice a beautiful</p><p>sunset or really listen carefully to what a friend is saying, rather than planning what we’re going to say next. We are also more aware of our</p><p>own feelings and our thoughts. So, we are consciously deciding what to pay attention to, we are not worrying about the past or planning for</p><p>the future and we are not trying to control or stop our thoughts or feelings – we’re just noticing them.</p><p>Why is mindfulness so popular now?</p><p>For most people life is getting busier and busier. Technology means that we always have something to do and there isn’t much</p><p>opportunity to just ‘be’. People are often doing two or three things at the same time: texting while watching TV, or even looking at their phone</p><p>while walking along the pavement. People are working longer hours and bringing work home. All this can make us stressed, and mindfulness</p><p>can be a way of reducing this stress.</p><p>How to become more mindful</p><p>A very simple technique that you could try right now is to close your eyes for a couple of minutes and count how many sounds you can</p><p>hear.

"In the past few</p><p>decades, the term has evolved to take on a more nuanced and speci�c meaning. It is continuing to evolve and we saw that in many ways."</p><p>However, there is a key reason why "allyship" beat out more expected words, such as "vaccine" or "NFT." One of the de�nitions given for</p><p>the word on the website is "the status or role of a person who advocates and actively works for the inclusion of a marginalized or politicized</p><p>group in all areas of society, not as a member of that group but in solidarity with its struggle and point of view and under its leadership."</p><p>The website attributes this de�nition to the rise in intersectional social activism in recent years, particularly in 2020 and 2021.</p><p>The more traditional de�nition of "allyship" is the relationship of "persons, groups or nations associating and cooperating with one</p><p>another for a common cause or purpose."</p><p>The word is set apart from "alliance," which Dictionary.com de�nes in one sense as a "merging of efforts or interests by persons, families,</p><p>states or organizations."</p><p>In addition, teachers, frontline workers and mothers who juggled jobs, home duties and child care in lockdown gained allies as the</p><p>pandemic took hold last year.</p><p>Without an entry for "allyship," Kelly said the site saw a steep rise in lookups for "ally" in 2020 and large spikes in 2021. It was in the top</p><p>850 searches out of thousands and thousands of words this year.</p><p>https://www.newsweek.com/dictionarycoms-word-year-might-surprising-choice-some-site-says-1656477</p><p>In “in solidarity with its struggle and point of view and under its leadership”, the underlined possessives refer to:</p><p>A Solidarity</p><p>B A speci�c group</p><p>C A member of a group</p><p>D Activists</p><p>LISTA DE EXERCÍCIOS</p><p>QUESTOES DE INGLES</p><p>CONTROLE: 930aa3f2c762fd0e4787a7def79e385b1b612d8139e9605d0f18ca284501fbbfd59f06b1c1018500f5ac85b3ae6f9c83d9301a37edc098c955f6e35ea892454a968f7d28f5b63f5a2753aa4f7beacf7b0b9a514b305e82c7da4e1317bfbdd1f18493f0c96f671a6e6f1c37b4289693a2d4cdaea673baf853d773eba5a9d0eebb4bb2e237a6c45ca4f43cada51755890e</p><p>Questão 49/100</p><p>Taiwan Begins Missile Tests Amid Chinese Military Drills in South China Sea</p><p>Taiwan began the �rst of six missile tests on Wednesday, a day after the Chinese military revealed it had conducted an amphibious</p><p>landing exercise as part of its month-long drills in the South China Sea.</p><p>Wednesday and Thursday will see the �rst two rounds of tests carried out by Taiwan's state-owned weapons and technology developer,</p><p>National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology.
