Questão 1
Brazil's giant offshore oil discoveries
01 A key argument of "peak oil" and "fossil fuel"
theorists is no new giant oilfield discoveries have been
03 made in recent years. Oil "experts" are locked into the
belief that oil is a fossil fuel, and pretty soon we are
bound to have found and drilled all the oil that ever
06 was. What about Brazil? The experience of Brazil's
offshore drilling is proving that giant new oil fields are
out there, waiting to be discovered, just offshore along the continental shelf. Petrobras,
09 Brazil's largest oil company is moving Brazil from being nearly 100 percent dependent on
foreign oil imports only some 50 years ago, toward becoming a net oil exporter in the next
few years. How? Brazil has realized spectacular results by developing the technology to drill
12 ultra-deep offshore wells in Brazil's Barracuda and Caratinga oil fields, in the Campos Basin
some 50 miles into the Atlantic Ocean east of Rio de Janeiro.

sentido geral do texto.
Questão 2
Britain worst in Europe for electrical recycling
1 Britain has picked up the wooden spoon in a recent survey looking into the electrical recycling
habits of Euro-
2 peans. According to the results of the new research, we are apparently the worst in Europe when it
comes to
3 recycling WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment).
4 WEEE comprises such devices as mobile phones, PCs, laptops and games consoles, and the
research carried
5 out by Dell suggests that we are falling way behind the rest of the continent when it comes to
recycling these
6 products.
7 The survey questioned 5,000 people across Europe regarding their recycling habits when it comes
to old elec-
8 tronic products, and found that in Britain only half of consumers take appropriate recycling steps,
compared to
9 an impressive 80% of Germans.
10 Indeed, Germany, Spain, France and Italy all out-perform us when it comes to having a greater
awareness of
11 recycling initiatives, which is the root of the problem. Greater awareness leads to a greater level of
recycling,
12 so we still have a long way to go.
13 Within the UK, it was the Welsh who performed the worst, with 19% of people admitting that they
had never
14 recycled any of their technology products. This was followed closely by people living in the north of
England.
15 There was also confusion between standard recycling and the recycling of electronic products. In
the north
16 east of England, almost three quarters of people claim to do what they can to recycle, but less
than 1% recycle
17 their electronic products. There is also little knowledge across the country of exactly what the
WEEE initiative
18 is, which all paints a rather depressing picture of recycling in the UK.

Questão 4
Brazil’s death toll in football violence tops world list 
July 20, 2009. 
Brazil, with 42 fans dead during ten years of football violence, tops the world’s tragic list, according to
a study released Sunday. The study’s authors said the numbers were of major concern, especially
with Brazil’s role as host to the 2014 FIFA World Cup. 
The study included deaths that occurred in or around the stadium during violent
clashes with other fans, said Mauricio Murad of the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ).
The study, called “A Sad, Perverse Achievement”, covered the time frame 1999-2008. “As we began
the study, Brazil was in third place in comparison to other countries. Italy topped the list, followed by
Argentina and Brazil”, Murad said Sunday in an interview with the state news agency Agencia Brazil. 
Today, ten years after the study began, Brazil leads the list. The violence is according to Murad a
major concern for the country, especially with its role in 2014. Public security is a major issue at the
World Cup events. 
One reason for the disturbing trend is that Brazil in the past has failed to enact laws to address
violence between rival fan groups. Italy had taken such reform steps.“In Brazil, there has
unfortunately been insufficient substantive reactions” Murad said. He said it was unsettling that the
number of dead has climbed in the course of the years. 
On average, 4.2 Brazilian fans were killed over the ten-year period. Between 2004 and 2008, the
average was 5.6 deaths per year, and in 2007 and 2008, there were seven killed each year. “The
violence in football is growing because overall violence in the country isincreasing. Violence is on the
increase because of lack of punishment for crimes and corruption”, Murad charged. 
The study was based on newspaper and other media reports, which were later confirmed by court
forensics specialists and police officials.

a) Quais as fontes de pesquisa usadas no estudo "A Sad, Perverse Achievement"?
b) Que implicações o resultado da pesquisa tem para o cenário futebolístico no Brasil em 2014?
Gabarito:
a) Lemos no último período do artigo que o estudo foi baseado em notícias de jornal e outros relatos
midiáticos.
b) Levando em conta que, de acordo com os resultados do estudo, o Brasil é líder em números de
mortes violentas no futebol, as implicações destacadas pelo texto são para a segurança pública nos
jogos da Copa do Mundo, que serão sediados no país em 2014.
Questão 5
BRAZIL’S GROWING POWER
With the help of clever agronomists, modern technology and the callused hands of pioneers in scores
of towns, Brazil has become the world’s newest agricultural superpower. Last year, while the national
economy struggle, Brazilian farmers reaped another bountiful harvest of commodity crops. Grain
production, for example, topped 123 million tons – double the figure of a decade ago. While Brazil’s
overall jobless rate spiked to 8 percent last year, rural employment grew by 6.5 percent, and 10
percent in the frontier states of Mato Grosso, Tocantins and Goiás.
Brazil has long been a powerhouse producer of coffee and sugar. But now the country’s farmers and
agribusinesses are extending their global reach, grabbing market share with new crops and lapping
the competition in industrialized farm goods like orange juice, alcohol, tobacco and leather hides. Led
by the cerrado pioneers, Brazil in 2002 surpassed the United States as the world’s largest exporter of
soybeans, soybean oil and soybean meal. In addition, the country recently became the world’s largest
exporter of beef, passing Australia.
And while quantity is important, so is quality. Brazil’s cattle herds eat only grass and soymeal, not
feed made from ground animal parts that some experts suspect is responsible for the general spread
of madcow disease. Agribusiness now accounts for more than a quarter of the country’s 4600 billion
gross domestic product, and employs around 20 million people, roughly 37 percent of Brazil’s total
work force.
Brazilian farmers have boosted crop production so high that the country now ranks as the world’s
fourthleading exporter of agricultural products. (…) Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has
made agricultural-trade liberalization a key policy objective for his administration.

la, vemos que ela
9 se estende além desta vida e desta história. Isso nos fortalece e encoraja. Já não há que ter
medo dos

Considerando o emprego conotativo da linguagem, julgue o que se afirma abaixo:
I. O senhor Agnelli é um dos “príncipes deste mundo” (linha 10), no dizer de Frei Betto.
II. Do trecho “[...] na terra prometida onde corre o leite e o mel” (linha 7), pode-se compreender a
ideia de que existe um lugar em que a “vida” e o amor são inesgotáveis.
III. A palavra prisão, no trecho “A prisão é um fardo leve ao se transformar num testemunho da
liberdade” (linha 2), poderia ser substituída por presídio, sem afetar o sentido do enunciado.
IV. No trecho “A prisão é um fardo leve ao se transformar num testemunho da liberdade” (linha 2), o
autor apresenta, por meio de paradoxo, um conceito de liberdade.
V. Em “Ora, a morte é inexorável” (linhas 12 e 13), personifica-se a morte, apresentando-a como se
fosse um juiz implacável.
Está correto o que se afirma em
(A) I, somente
(B) II, somente
(C) III e V
(D) I, III e IV
(E) I, II, IV e V
Gabarito:
E
Resolução:
A palavra "prisão", na frase "A prisão é um fardo leve ao se transformar num testemunho da
liberdade", não pode ser substituída por "presídio", já que Frei Betto se refere à prisão como a
privação da liberdade, e não como um lugar específico em que se retém as pessoas privadas de
liberdade.

Considerando o emprego dos sinais de pontuação em vista do conteúdo do texto, é correto afirmar:
(A) No enunciado “Este vive do amor, imortal e eterno” (linha 17), a pontuação feita concorre para
expressar a ideia de que o amor é, intrinsecamente, imortal e eterno.
(B) No trecho “[...] É o que sustenta todos nós que acreditamos na terra prometida onde corre o leite
e o mel” (linha 7), se fosse empregada a vírgula entre a penúltima e a última oração, o sentido do

(D) Em “Já não há que ter medo dos príncipes deste mundo, que guardam seus tesouros nos cofres do
The First National City Bank” (linhas 9 e 10), a vírgula concorre para sinalizar a ideia de que, no
mundo, somente uma parte dos afortunados procura guardar cuidadosamente seus bens.
(E) Em “É o que sustenta todos nós que acreditamos na terra prometida onde corre o leite e o mel –
mesmo sabendo que não haveremos de pisá-la” (linhas 7 e 8), o travessão antecede uma citação de
fala.
Gabarito:
A
Resolução:
O uso da vírgula depois da palavra "amor", na frase "Este vive do amor, imortal e eterno", insere
expressão explicativa – ou seja, expressa-se a ideia de que o amor, em si, é imortal e eterno, o que
não aconteceria na ausência das vírgulas, em que as palavras "imortal e eterno" seriam
características restritivas para "amor" (isto é, "este [homem]" viveria não de qualquer amor, mas
daquele que fosse "imortal e eterno"). Em C, os dois pontos precedem uma enumeração, não uma
paráfrase. Em D, o uso da vírgula sinaliza que todos os "princípes deste mundo" guardam
cuidadosamente seus bens. Em E, o travessão antecede uma ressalva.

CHILE MINE DISASTER EXPOSES OLD FAMILY FEUDS
By PETER PRENGAMAN
Associated Press Writer
SAN JOSE MINE, Chile (AP) – The disaster will likely keep the miners underground for months.
The miners were asked to send up a note designating who could get their $1,600 (800,000 pesos)
salary for August. There are separate bank accounts for each miner, which no family member can
touch. Despite worldwide attention, the miners' financial future is uncertain when and if they make it
out alive. The owners of the mining company, San Esteban, have said they may not be able to pay
wages in September, and are considering bankruptcy.
The day after the men were discovered alive, businessman Leonardo Farkas donated $10,000 (5
million pesos) to each miner. That money has been put in the miners' accounts, and Farkas has
encouraged Chileans to donate.
Money donations are distributed evenly among the 33 miners, said Leiva, the social worker. While
every family is focused on seeing its loved one emerge alive, there is another deep, longer-term
worry: Will these men be able to return to work? Many, psychologically and physically, may be unable
to go back in the mines, or refuse to do so. There are few other opportunities in Northern Chile, and
many of the men don't have the education to do anything else that pays as well.
"A big worry is: How they will come out?" said Leiva. "They don't have other jobs."

Questão 12
Brazil to eliminate extreme poverty by 2016
July 14, 2010. 
Brazil will wipe out extreme poverty and cut the poverty rate to four percent by 2016, said a study
released Tuesday by the country’s Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA).
According to the IPEA, 10.5 percent of the country’s population are now considered as extremely
poor, while 28.8 percent as poor. The poor families have a monthly per capita income of 255 reais
(145 U.S. dollars), just half the minimum wage, while the extremely poor families have merely a
quarter of the minimum wage, or 127.5 reais (72.85 U.S. dollars).
Poverty in Brazil has been on a fast decline in recent years. According to the IPEA, between 1955-
2008, 12.8 million Brazilians were lifted out of poverty, while another 12.1 million were pulled out of
extreme poverty. The figures represent a 33.6 percent fall in poverty rate and an almost 50 percent
drop in extreme poverty rate.
Based on the Lula administration’s poverty reduction pace since it took office in 2003, the IPEA now
estimates that extreme poverty may disappear in the country by 2016. The IPEA predicts that by
2012, extreme poverty will be wiped out in the states of Santa Catarina and Parana, both in the
southern region. By 2014, extreme poverty will be eliminated in other five states.
Source: Xinhua (http://english.peopledaily.com.cn. Adaptado.) 
The study released by IPEA shows that 
(A) slightly less than a third of Brazil’s population may be considered as extremely poor and poor. 
(B) people who earn the minimum wage are considered poor, although their earnings are very low. 
(C) extremely poor families get a monthly income of 127.5 reais altogether, but families in this
condition are rising sharply. 
(D) there was an almost 50% reduction in extreme poverty rate, which represents 12.1 million people,
in over 50-year span. 
(E) southern states are more developed in Brazil and this explains why poverty will be eliminated by
2016 there.

Resolução:
Como lemos no segundo parágrafo do texto, o estudo apresentado pelo IPEA aponta uma redução de

poor, while 28.8 percent as poor. The poor families have a monthly per capita income of 255 reais
(145 U.S. dollars), just half the minimum wage, while the extremely poor families have merely a
quarter of the minimum wage, or 127.5 reais (72.85 U.S. dollars).
Poverty in Brazil has been on a fast decline in recent years. According to the IPEA, between 1955-
2008, 12.8 million Brazilians were lifted out of poverty, while another 12.1 million were pulled out of
extreme poverty. The figures represent a 33.6 percent fall in poverty rate and an almost 50 percent
drop in extreme poverty rate.
Based on the Lula administration’s poverty reduction pace since it took office in 2003, the IPEA now
estimates that extreme poverty may disappear in the country by 2016. The IPEA predicts that by
2012, extreme poverty will be wiped out in the states of Santa Catarina and Parana, both in the
southern region. By 2014, extreme poverty will be eliminated in other five states.

representando uma queda na taxa de pobreza do país.
Questão 14
Brazil's electoral laws
Send in the clown 
Nice voting machines; shame about the candidates 
THE whizzy electronic ballot boxes thatBrazil uses for elections meant that most results were
announced before bedtime on polling day. But no technology can speed up the country’s courts. Just
one day before the election they ruled that votes for candidates who had been barred from standing,
mostly under a new anti-corruption law passed this year, should be set aside. Because of the delay,
theresults of this precisely tallied election are still uncertain. 
In the races for state governor and federal and state legislatures, a total of 11m votes went to
ineligible candidates. In the northern state of Pará, for example, two of the three front-runners for the
national Senate were blacklisted. However, politicians can appeal against their inclusion on the list.
Those who win their challenges by December 31st will probably displace their rivals who have been
declared victors by default.
Contests for the lower house of Congress are even more chaotic. When candidates get more votes
than they need to win, they pass the surplus on to their allies. The courts have yet to decide whether
politicians can be elected on disqualified candidates’ coat-tails. If they cannot, the results of appeals
could affect the legislative balances of power.
Some candidates without legal troubles had otherwise dubious qualifications. For instance, Tiririca
(Grumpy), a clown best known for a hit single, won more votes (1.35m) than any other candidate for
the lower house of Congress. “What does a federal deputy do? To be honest, I don’t know,” ran his
ads. “But vote for me and I’ll let you know.” He will have to take a literacy test before he can take
office. But even if he fails, three of his allies will tumble into Congress in his parti-coloured wake.

Questão 18
Cerrado
Located between the Amazon, Atlantic Forests and Pantanal, the Cerrado is the largest savanna
region in South America.
The Cerrado is one of the most threatened and overexploited regions in Brazil, second only to the
Atlantic Forests in vegetation loss and deforestation. Unsustainable agricultural activities, particularly
soy production and cattle ranching, as well as burning of vegetation for charcoal, continue to pose a
major threat to the Cerrado’s biodiversity. 
Despite its environmental importance, it is one of the least protected regions in Brazil.
Facts & Figures
• Covering 2 million km2, or 21% of the country’s territory, the Cerrado is the second largest
vegetation type in Brazil.
• The area is equivalent to the size of England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain combined.
• More than 1,600 species of mammals, birds and reptiles have been identified in the Cerrado.
• Annual rainfall is around 800 to 1600 mm.
• The capital of Brazil, Brasilia, is located in the heart of the Cerrado.
• Only 20% of the Cerrado’s original vegetation remains intact; less than 3% of the area is currently
guarded by law.
