Questions 26, 27, 28 and 29 refer to the TEXT A “Amazon deforestation” by Tim Hirsch from BBC News,
São Paulo.
The Brazilian environment minister has promised to publish today the names of the 100 people responsible
for the largest acts of illegal deforestation in the Amazon. He promises to step up action to prevent destruction
of the world’s largest tropical forest. Here’s Tim Hirsch: It’s more than eight months since the Brazilian
government announced a package of measures to combat deforestation, after satellite observations showed
5 the rate of destruction in the Amazon was picking up again. So far, there’s been little evidence of a slowdown,
despite a string of raids on illegal sawmills and moves to cut off credit to farmers operating outside the law.
The latest initiative concentrates on the impunity with which illegal deforestation is still carried out
in Brazil, according to the government’s own account. The environment minister Carlos Minc reckons
that only one in ten offenders is prosecuted and fewer than one in 200 convicted in the courts. As
10 well as naming the top 100 deforesters, Mr. Minc is planning to set up a task force with the prosecuting
authorities and environmental enforcement agencies, to ensure that more are brought to justice. He’s
also promised to step up efforts to bring greater legality to farming and forestry activities in the regions
of the Amazon where most deforestation has taken place.

Brazil floods leave 186,000 homeless
At least 19 people die after months of heavy rains
Floods and mudslides from months of heavy rains in northern Brazil have driven more than 186,000
from their homes, killed at least 19 people and cut off shipments from a huge Amazon iron mine, according
to officials. Television footage showed the rooftops of houses poking out of inundated towns and people
using boats to move around in their cities. Mudslides swamped homes and forced residents to move in with
relatives and pack into emergency shelters. Globo TV’s G1 website reported that three more people died
in a mudslide in Bahia state, south of the main zone of devastation, but authorities did not immediately
confirm the deaths. At least seven states, most in the Amazon region, have been affected by the rains,
which have battered the region for several months, regional civil defence departments said. Worst-hit is
the state of Maranhão along the Atlantic coast and south of the mouth of the Amazon River. Maranhão
civil defence official Abner Ferreira said six major highways have been swamped, cutting off thousands
of people and leaving lines of stranded cargo trucks. The rains also prompted the temporary closure of a
railway that takes iron ore from the sprawling Carajas mine in the neighboring jungle state of Para. Iron ore,
the main ingredient in steel, is shipped overseas from Sao Luis, the state capital of Maranhão. The railway
also transports 1,300 people per day, and G1reported that service should be restored within two days. Vale
is the world’s second largest mining company and the planet’s biggest iron ore producer. Brazilian president
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva flew over the hardest-hit areas, delivered food baskets to shelters, met with local
officials and promised aid to repair infrastructure. He also voiced concerns that global climate change could
be responsible for the unusually heavy rains and destruction.” We need to look more seriously into the
climate situation these days,” said Silva. “Something is changing and we still have time to fix it.” Brazil’s
health ministry said it would send an emergency shipment of 265,000 doses of medicine to Maranhão
to prevent possible outbreaks of intestinal diseases caused by contaminated floodwaters. Ferreira said
meteorologists forecast at least another two more weeks of heavy rains in northern Brazil. Floods and
mudslides late last year in the southern state of Santa Catarina killed more than 100 people, displaced
some 80,000 and set off a round of brutal looting in a devastated port city by people desperate for drinking
water and food.

Strategic Spending on Organic Foods
Sweet bell peppers are among the vegetables high in pesticides. (Richard Drew/Associated Press)
I was reading today in The Times that organic food prices are rising. It reminded me of a really helpful
list from the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit research and advocacy organization, about how
to be a strategic shopper when buying organic fruits and vegetables.
While there is an ongoing debate about whether buying organic food really makes a difference in
5 terms of health, the reality is that some consumers choose organic foods because they want to lower
their exposure to pesticides. For those shoppers, it makes sense to know when to buy organic and which
conventionally-grown foods are good enough because they already are low in pesticide residue.
The Environmental Working Group tested dozens of fruits and vegetables to determine which
foods are the worst offenders in terms of pesticide exposure. Some fruits and vegetables grown with
10 conventional farming methods simply don’t absorb the pesticides. Some examples of vegetables and
fruits with very low pesticide residues are onions, mangoes, asparagus, broccoli and eggplant. So
whether you pick them up from the regular produce section or the organic aisle, your pesticide exposure
is going to be low.
21 A partir da leitura do texto, assinale a afirmativa correta.
A) Uma parcela de consumidores compra alimentos orgânicos para diminuir sua exposição a pesticidas.
B) Os alimentos orgânicos são mais baratos do que os cultivados por métodos tradicionais.
C) O jornal The Times publica diariamente lista com nomes de empresas que vendem alimentos orgânicos mais baratos.
D) O Environmental Working Group propõe um debate sobre o preço justo para alimentos orgânicos.
E) Organizações com fins lucrativos estão financiando pesquisas sobre o consumo de alimentos orgânicos.
22 Em relação ao sentido de expressões no texto, assinale a afirmativa correta.
A) makes a difference (linha 4) significa tornar-se diferente.
B) Em dozens of fruits and vegetables (linha 8), a expressão sublinhada pode, sem prejuízo de sentido,
ser substituída por lots of.
C) it makes sense (linha 6) significa tem o sentido de.
D) A expressão good enough (linha 7) pode ser substituída, sem prejuízo de sentido, por very good.
E) pick them up (linha 12) tem o significado de fatiar os alimentos orgânicos.

Attitudes toward western cultures
Currently, in many countries throughout the world, there is tremendous pressure to learn English.
This pressure is evident in a variety of ways. To begin, in many countries, English is required subject
beginning in middle school and continuing through high school and is often one of the areas tested
on college entrance examinations. In addition, many international corporations are encouraging their
employees to develop their English skills by providing English training on the job.
Along with the pressure to learn English comes concern about how English should be taught and what
role culture should play in the teaching of English. Many language educators support the inclusion of a
cultural component in the teaching of English (...)
19 From the text XV “Attitudes toward western cultures” it can be said that.
(01) International Corporations are hiring only people who speak English fluently.
(02) The Brazilian public school since the first grades teaches the English language and western cultures.
(04)In the author’s opinion there’s some concern about how to teach cultural points.
(08)All language educators agree with a inclusion of a new cultural component.
(16) The English Teaching must be done by foreign teachers.
20 According to the text XV, it can be affirmed that.
(01) A few countries believe to be important to learn the English language.
(02) No country thinks to be important to learn the English language
(04)A lot of language educators want the inclusion of a cultural component in the teaching of English
(08)International corporations are providing tools to improve their employees skills.
(16) The English teachers don’t agree with the creation of a new subject related to the western cultures.

Olympics Roundup
The Legacy of Beijing
by Melinda Liu
By now, it’s clear that both Chinese and visitors alike reveled in the 2008 Games, even many skeptics.
The merry national atmosphere is quite different from the mood before Aug. 8, when officials worried
about polluted air, terror attacks, even the performance of high-profile athletes like hurdler Liu Xiang.
Some of their fears came to pass: a lone attacker killed an American coach’s family member, scattered
protests did take place and Liu limped away gold-less after an injury.
Still, the Olympics were undeniably a PR success. Beijing’s critics warned of crackdowns, but travelers
were greeted instead with the sight of citizens reacting to the Games with cheers and tears against a
backdrop of stunning architecture. For domestic audiences, officials peddled a relaxed, humane image –
President Hu Jintao sat in the audience at sporting events like a regular spectator – that’s playing well at
home. The Games Will have many legacies, from Michael Phelps to Usain Bolt. But for Beijing, its softpower campaign will do more for its overseas image in the years to come than cocky triumphalism ever
could have done.
Newsweek. September 1, 2008, p. 5
26 According to the text, it is CORRECT to state that:
A) Most of the fears of Beijing’s officials came true during the Olympic Games, like terror attacks and
crackdowns.

C) Before the Games, the national atmosphere was very distinct from the one during the Olympics.

regular spectator in the sporting events.

A) A lone attacker killed an American coach’s family member.
