Directions: Read the text below and answer the questions from 01 to 05, according 
to it. 
 
Amelia Earhart – The Sky’s the Limit 
 
In the 1930s Amelia Earhart was one of the most famous women in the world. 
As the first woman passenger and the first female pilot to cross the Atlantic 
Ocean by air, she has a place in the record books that can never be taken (1). In 
those days women simply didn’t do that sort of things (2). But the fame that her 
achievements brought her(3) are now also eclipsed by the mystery of her 
disappearance. 
In 1932, she became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. 
Over the next few years Earhart set and broke many other aviation records before 
announcing that she was going to face the biggest challenge of all, to fly around 
the globe. She would pilot the aeroplane accompanied only by her navigator Fred 
Noonan. 
She made her first attempt in March 1937, which ended in a crash in Hawaii 
(4), but within three months they were ready to another attempt. 
Together Earhart and Noonan flew across the United States, South America, 
North Africa, India, Asia, Australia and finally to New Guinea. But then they had to 
face the most difficult part of the journey: 2,500 miles across the Pacific to 
Howland Island. 
Earhart and Noonan never arrived at Howland Island. Some believe the two of 
them drowned because their plane ran out of fuel. But the most intriguing theory is 
that it was all part of a US government conspiracy. Some said that the US Navy 
had used Earhart’s disappearance as an excuse to send aircrafts over the 
Marshall Islands where it was suspected that the Japanese were building military 
installations, others suggested that Earhart and Noonan were part of the plot. 
The myth of Earhart’s disappearance had begun, and it would never end.

 AFA 2003 PROVA DE LÍNGUA INGLESA – CÓDIGO 12 2
Directions: Read the text below and answer the questions from 11 to 14, 
according to it. 
 
Fear of Loose Nukes 
 
Forget ANTHRAX; NOW it’s nukes. On Saturday Osama bin Laden told 
Dawn newspaper in Pakistan that Al Qaeda has nuclear weapons to be used “as a 
deterrent.” Although unconfirmed, his claim can hardly be ignored. The United 
states has long worried about what nuclear weapons Al Qaeda could get its hands 
on. 
The main U.S. concern is that Russia is the source. Moscow has responded 
to fears that terrorists could use stray nuclear material to build a “dirty bomb” by 
promising to thighten security around its nuclear submarines and nuclear research 
centers. The United States has long encouraged such steps. But last week the 
White House threatened to block a $40 billion appropriations bill if extra allocation 
– some designed to enhance security in Russia – were added, choosing instead to 
focus the package on domestic economic stimulus. 
Even if extra funds are eventually allocated to help the Russians, it may be 
a case of too little, too late. Two Turkish men – Aydin Duran, 32, and Mehmet 
Aydin, 47 – were arrested last Tuesday near Istanbul in possession of 1,150 
grams of uranium, which they were allegedly trying to sell. Turkish police say the 
enriched uranium could have been used to build a bomb or, packed in a 
conventional weapon, to spread radiation. And it’s known that the two men 
traveled frequently to Eastern Europe and Ukraine, where they probably obtained 
the uranium. (They have already admitted to buying the uranium from a Russian 
supplier.) The good news is that Duran and Aydin don’t appear to have terrorist 
connections. They’re more likely a couple of entrepreneurs out to make a buck, 
say police. The bad news: Others like them may well have already connected with 
Al Qaeda. In others words, bin Laden could be telling the truth. 
(Newsweek, November 19, 2001) 
 
 
11 - We can deduce from the text that: 
 
a) Al Qaeda assured they have chemical weapons. 
b) bin Laden claims to hinder the United States but it’s not necessary to 
have faith in him. 
c) The United States have to face up the reality that they became feeble. 
d) bin Laden has a different nuclear weapon and maybe he can use it if 
the United States don’t respond to his remarkable exploit. 
 
 
12 - Mark the option which contains the correct alternative. 
 
I - The Russians gave the United States an assurance that nothing 
would happen to them. 
II - It’s supposed that the Turkish weren’t terrorists. They were just 
people on their own business. 
III - Although the Turkish were connected to a charitable organization, 
they weren’t under a terrorist agreement. 
IV - The terrorists may have something to inhibit the United States. 
 
a) Statements III e IV are correct. 
b) Statements II and IV are correct. 
c) Statements I and II are correct. 
d) Statements I and III are correct. 
 
 
13 - The terrorists have nuclear weapons to be used “as a deterrent.” The 
underlined word in the text means: 
 
a) something that stops people doing something because they are afraid 
of what will happen if they do. 
b) something murderous and difficult to be controlled. 
c) something that has complete control over unaware people. 
d) a substance that can cause serious damage and explosions. 
 
 
14 - The main U.S. concern is that Russia is the source. Moscow has responded 
to fears that terrorists could use stray nuclear material to build a dirty bomb 
by promising to tighten security around its nuclear submarines and nuclear 
research centers.” 
 
Considering the underlined words as C (Count Noun) and NC (Noncount 
Noun), how can you classify them? 
 
a) concern – C / source – NC / research – C 
b) concern – NC / source – C / research – C 
c) concern – NC or C / source – NC / research – NC 
d) concern – NC or C / source – C / research – NC 
 
 
15 - I’m still doubtful about the characters of the new novel. You probably agree 
that the suspects reactions were totally unexpected as their explanations 
didn’t make their intentions clear enough in the testimony. We could first 
deduce that the fake nun was the prime suspect for having poisoned the 
stallion and the sow. On the other hand, the cunning steward and the wily 
widower had extravagant posture after the judgement.

on the heir’s coat and by mistake kneels down beside a shy spinster to offer 
_____ apologies. So, a problem of communication arises between them 
because the shy spinster is deaf. Besides, _____ can’t understand what’s 
happening. While the heir is in the bathroom cleaning the coat, a water pipe

 AFA 2003 PROVA DE LÍNGUA INGLESA – CÓDIGO 12 3
Directions: Read the text below and answer the questions from 21 to 25, according 
to it. 
 
Central Station 
 
The reality of everyday life that “Central Station” shows is harsh. In the film, 
Dora (Fernanda Montenegro) is a bitter woman who makes her living in Rio’s 
Central Station writting letters for illiterate people. She takes their money but 
discards the letters. 
One day she writes a letter for a mother and her little boy 
(Vinícius de Oliveira). When the mother is killed in an accident outside the station, 
Dora tries to sell the boy for adoption. Then she realizes her mistake, rescues the 
boy and the two set out on a bus 
trip to find his father. For Walter Salles, the director of the film, Dora is a good 
example of modern Brazil, with its culture of “cynicism”. But as Dora gradually 
develops a bond with the boy “she begins to understand that the boy’s route and 
the boy’s problems are 
comparable to her own”, he said. 
The growing friendship between these two is, for Mr.Salles, a symbol of 
Brazil where solidarity and compassion may be buried but are still present. His film 
is not utopian, but it celebrates the diversity both of the land and of what Mr. 
Salles calls the “human geography” that Dora and Josué encounter on their 
journey.
