Questão 1
Comunidade Film
Oficinas Querô, Brazil
1
There’s a film industry growing up in the crowded,
extremely poor favelas of Santos, Brazil — but it’s not
producing lots of blockbusters. It’s doing something much
more dramatic: changing lives. Filmmaker Carlos Cortez
launched Oficinas Querô — the Querô Workshops — in
5
2005 to train some young people living in a Santos slum
to be actors in a film. But when he saw how positively they
reacted, he had another idea: why not train them to make
films? He did just that, working with UNICEF to create an
eleven-month-long, five-days-a-week program that takes
10 40 students, aged 16 to 21, through the entire filmmaking
process, from conception and writing to financing and
entrepreneurship to video and audio production. Students
work side by side with Brazilian film professionals, and at
the end of the course, their films are screened. Some go
 15
on to work in the Brazilian film and TV industry. But all go
away with a host of valuable skills: they know how to work
as part of a team, to make a dream a reality — and they
know how to achieve.
 
COMUNIDADE film. Newsweek, New York, p.11, Nov. 3, 2008. “blockbusters” (l. 3): filmes de
sucesso.
Considering language usage in the text, it’s correct to say:
01) The’s in “There’s” (l. 1) is the contraction of has.
02) The word “lives” (l. 4) is the plural of life.
03) The word “people” (l. 6) is a singular noun.
04) The verb form “saw” (l. 7) refers to present time.
05) The pronoun “them” (l. 8) refers to “films” (l. 9).
Gabarito:
2
Resolução:
A única alternativa correta é a de número 02. Vejamos porque as outras estão erradas:
01: "There´s" = There + is.
03: "people" é a forma plural do substantivo "person". 
04: "saw" é a forma do passado simples do verbo "to See".
05: O pronome "them", na linha 8, se refere aos jovens do programa de cinema.
Questão 2
1 Europeans enjoy unprecedented levels of personal
mobility, while goods are shipped rapidly and efficiently
from factory to customer, often in different countries. The
4 European Union (UN) has stimulated this freedom of
movement by opening national markets and by removing
physical and technical obstacles. But today’s transport
7 patterns and growth rates are unsustainable.
Moving people and goods quickly, efficiently and
cheaply is a central tenet of the EU’s goal for a dynamic
10 economy and cohesive society. The transport sector
generates 10% of EU wealth in terms of gross domestic
product (GDP) and provides more than ten million jobs.
13 The constant growth in mobility puts severe strains
on transport systems. The result is congestion, particularly
for road and air traffic which reduces economic efficiency,
16 and adds to fuel consumption and to pollution.
Although many aspects of transport policy come
under national governments, it makes sense for the European
19 single market to have a single transport infrastructure. This
is why the EU has opened national transport markets across
the Union to competition, particularly in the road and air
22 sectors and, to a lesser extent, for rail.
As a result, trucks can operate in countries other
than their own, and no longer return empty on international
25 journeys. In 2003, a first liberalisation package opened about
70-80% of long-distance rail freight traffic to competition.
Liberalisation alone cannot solve several
28 deep-seated problems. These include the dominance of road
over other forms of transport, pollution, and the
fragmentation of transport systems, including poor links to
31 outlying regions and between national networks.
Congestion charging, where users pay for access to
scarce infrastructure, is also being introduced. One example
34 is the system, pioneered by London in 2003, which charges
motorists for driving into central districts of town and cities.
Rail is the first target. A freight train in the EU travels at an
37 average speed of 18 kilometres per hour. Rail must improve
speeds and service levels if it is to attract freight traffic from
roads.
Based on the text, judge the following items. 
• Never before have goods and individuals undergone such mobility in Europe. 
• The EU has brought about unquestionable transport patterns. 
• The EU current economic aim, in terms of transport, is based on one main belief. 
• The transport sector has no influence on EU’s GDP. 
• At present, European transport systems can be said to have entirely reached the goals set by EU.
Gabarito:
C E C E E
Resolução:
• C – Podemos checar essa informação no primeiro enunciado do texto, em que lemos que "os
europeus estão gozando de níveis sem precendentes de mobilidade pessoal e de cargas".
• E – Como lemos no texto, o crescimento da mobilidade na UE se dá acompanhado de maior
consumo de combustível e poluição, por exemplo.
• C – Temos nas linhas 7-10 o lema central sobre o transporte na União Europeia: "Moving people and
goods quickly, efficiently and cheaply is a central tenet of the EU’s goal for a dynamic economy and
cohesive society".
• E – O setor de transporte gera 10% do GDP e mais de dez milhões de empregos (linha 12).
• E – De acordo com o texto, há falhas a serem melhoradas no trasnporte europeu, como é o caso do
trasnporte ferroviário, que poderia ser mais atraente se fosse mais rápido e tivesse melhores
serviços.

Based on the text, judge the following items. 
• The transport network in Europe considers national and international aspects. 
• Large trucks are not allowed to carry goods from other countries but their own. 
• In London, motorists are supposed to pay when they use their cars downtown. 
• Rail improvement must be dealt with as a top priority. 
• The word “single” (l.19) is the same as not married.
Gabarito:
C E C C E
Resolução:
• C – Como podemos verificar nas linhas 17-19, em que fica claroque certos aspectos das políticas do
transporte são nacionalmente estabelecidos na Europa, enquanto outros são fixados para toda a UE,
internacionalmente.
• E – De acordo com as linhas 20 e 21, um dos resultados positivos da política internacionalizada da
UE para transportes é que os caminhões podem circular por países diferentes sem o ônus de voltarem
vazios de cargas no retorno de viagens internacionais.
• C – Como lemos nas linhas 33-35, tal medida evita congestionamento em áreas centrais.
• C – Conforme linha 36, "Rail is the first target".
• E – "Single", neste caso, não significa "não casado", e sim, "único".

Viva muchos años! is the ordinary greeting in Spain, and 
it is usual throughout the whole world to wish people a
long life. It 
is not a knowledge of what life is that explains the origin of
such a 
wish, but rather knowledge of what man is in his real
nature: 
namely, the will to live.
Each culture‘s worldview includes beliefs about the 
meaning and purpose of life and what happens after
death. 
Although the final outcome of death is the same for all
humans,
cultures vary in how they conceptualize death and what
happens
when a person dies. In some cultures, death is conceived
to involve 
different conditions, including sleep, illness, and reaching
a certain 
age. As an example, the Truskese of Micronesia believe
that life 
ends at 40 years of age, and when you reach 40, you are,
in effect, 
dead.
In other cultures, death is said to occur only when there is 
a total cessation of life. In a similar manner, certain
cultural 
traditions view death as a transition to other forms of
existence; 
others propose a continuous interaction between the dead
and the 
living; some cultures conceive a circular pattern of
multiple deaths 
and rebirths; and yet others view death as the final end,
with 
nothing occurring after death. These different conceptions
have a 
noticeable influence on people’s lifestyles, their readiness
to die for 
a cause, the degree to which they fear death, their
expressions of
grief and mourning, and the nature of funeral rituals.
The difficulty of having a unitary view of death or the
death experience can be better appreciated when we
realize that it 
is problematic to even define what we mean by death. The
first 
definition of death in Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged 
Dictionary is that it is “the act of dying; the end of life; the
total and 
permanent cessation of all the vital functions of an animal
or 
plant.” (1989, p.372). This appears straightforward
enough, until 
we realize that it represents a largely Western conception
of death. 
However, a relatively global conceptualization of death
issues 
would have to incorporate the many cultural variations
that exist in 
the world.
Internet: http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au (adapted).
According to the text above, judge the following items (right or wrong).
• As the world is increasingly shrinking due to the complex interaction among people from cultures
across the world, differences involving conceptions about death are becoming less significant.
• For the majority of people in the world, death involves different conditions such as sleep, illness and
age.
• The actual meaning and conceptualization of death differ widely across cultures.
• Irrespective of how death is defined in each culture, all of them understand it as a total cessation of
life.
Gabarito:
E E C E
Resolução:
• E – A resposta para este item está nas últimas linhas do texto. Nelas, lê-se que é preciso incorporar
as visões provenientes de diversas culturas para compor um conceito relativamente global da morte.
Isso se dá justamente porque as diferenças entre essas visões não têm se tornado menos
significantes.
• E – O texto não afirma isso sobre a maioria das culturas, apenas sobre algumas. Para muitas outras,
a concepção é diferente e envolve interação contínua da morte com a vida.
• C – Como nos atenta e exemplifica o texto, a concepção de morte feita pelas diferentes culturas
varia muito.
• E – De acordo com o texto, nem todas as culturas aceitam a morte como o fim da vida. Há culturas
que veem a morte como transição para outras formas de existência; outras propõem interação
contínua entre vida e morte.

In the second month, the normal human infant 
breaks into its first smile. The expression is often 
considered as reflex action, but it soon becomes social, 
and in the fourth month it develops into that explosive, 
exclusively human breath pattern called laughter.
Laughter makes you feel good. And the good 
feeling that you get when you laugh remains with you 
even after the laughter subsides. Humor helps you 
keep a positive, optimistic outlook through difficult 
situations, disappointments, and loss.
Morethan just a respite from sadness and 
pain, laughter gives you the courage and strength to 
find new sources of meaning and hope. Even in the 
most difficult of times, a laugh-or even simply a smile-
can go a long way toward making you feel better. And
laughter really is contagious-just hearing laughter
primes your brain and readies you to smile and join in 
on the fun.
Humor is infectious. The sound of roaring 
laughter is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle, 
or sneeze. When laughter is shared, it binds people 
together and increases happiness and intimacy. Humor 
and playful communication strengthen our 
relationships by triggering positive feelings and 
fostering emotional connection. When we laugh with 
one another, a positive bond is created. This bond acts 
as a strong buffer against stress, disagreements, and 
disappointment.
In addition to the domino effect of joy and 
amusement, laughter also triggers healthy physical 
changes in the body. Humor and laughter strengthen 
your immune system, boost your energy, diminish 
pain, and protect you from the damaging effects of 
stress. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, 
and keeps your grounded.
With so much power to heal and renew, the 
ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous 
resource for surmounting problems. To Germany’s 
great pessimistic philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, 
laughter was man’s dauntless ally in the battle against 
“that strict, untiring, troublesome governess, Reason”.
Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, 
and easy to use.

According to the text, judge the items (right or wrong).
• Laughing can be a means to overcome problems.
• Laughter unites people.
• Infants begin smiling very early in life.
• One can learn to laugh at any stage of one’s life thus incorporating humor into the fabric of one’s
life.
• Laughing is a reflex action.

• C – Como se lê nas primeiras linhas do texto, a primeira risada de um ser humano acontece por
volta do quarto mês de sua vida.
• E – De acordo com o texto, em situações normais, o ser humano aprende a rir muito cedo.
• E – Como se lê nas primeiras linhas do texto, já na infância, o riso aparece como mais do que um

According to the text, judge the items (right or wrong).
• The word subside in the fragment “even after the laughter subsides” (l.8) means augment.
• The word trigger in “by triggering positive feelings” (l.24) is the same as hinder.

fearless.
• Laughing is solely a pause for relaxation from pains one may suffer.
Gabarito:

Resolução:
• E – A palavra "subside" significa retroceder, diminuir, baixar. "Augment" significa aumentar,
ampliar; portanto, seus significados são opostos.
• E – "Trigger", no contexto aludido, significa ativar, provocar. Por isso, não corresponde a "hinder",
que significa impedir, entravar.
• C – "Dauntless" significa destemido, assim como "fearless".
• E – A risada não se resume, segundo o texto, a um momento de alívio de quem sofre de alguma
dor. A risada pode ter muitas funções, inclusive a de estreitar laços humanos através do humor.
Questão 8
1 For at least 7 millennia before white men ever set foot in the American West, the land was
2 inhabited by people whose ancestors had crossed from Siberia to Alaska. Down through
countless
3 generations, they had split into thousands of tribes speaking more than 2,000 distinct
languages.
4 The Indians were a part of the West, and the West was theirs. Their harmonious coexistence
with
5 nature changed dramatically with the coming of the white man. Traders encroached on their
6 territory, exchanging worthless baubles for valuable furs. More insidiously, liquor became a
7 favorite form of barter, ruining some Indians' lives less swiftly but just as surely as bullets. The
8 Indians' very existence seemed, to the settlers, to deny the God-given truth of America's
Manifest
9 Destiny. Over the course of the 19th century, the lands that had been the Indians' were taken
from
10 them acre by acre, until they were herded into reservations and forced to live like second-class
11 Americans. Reservation schools taught their children to dress, speak, think and even pray like
the
12 white man. Many Indians resisted, but by the century's end more than a quarter of a million
had
13 died at the hands of the settlers and the U.S. Army – or by succumbing to such European
diseases as
14 tuberculosis, smallpox, measles and cholera, which sometimes wiped out entire villages.
(Adapted from Outline of U.S. History, 2010, page 87)
After losing their land, the Indians
 
a) were denied education by the settlers.

Como consta nas últimas linhas do texto, muitos índios resistiram à colonização, mas até o final do
século mais de duzentos e cinquenta mil morreram nas mãos dos colonos e do exército dos EUA ou
por sucumbir a doenças europeias, como a tuberculose, a varíola, o sarampo e a cólera, que, por
vezes, eliminaram aldeias inteiras ("Many Indians resisted, but by the century's end more than a

4 The Indians were a part of the West, and the West was theirs. Their harmonious coexistence
with
5 nature changed dramatically with the coming of the white man. Traders encroached on their
6 territory, exchanging worthless baubles for valuable furs. More insidiously, liquor became a
7 favorite form of barter, ruining some Indians' lives less swiftly but just as surely as bullets. The
8 Indians' very existence seemed, to the settlers, to deny the God-given truth of America's
Manifest
9 Destiny. Over the course of the 19th century, the lands that had been the Indians' were taken
from
10 them acre by acre, until they were herded into reservations and forced to live like second-class
11 Americans. Reservation schools taught their children to dress, speak, think and even pray like
the
12 white man. Many Indians resisted, but by the century's end more than a quarter of a million
had
13 died at the hands of the settlers and the U.S. Army – or by succumbing to such European
diseases as
14 tuberculosis, smallpox, measles and cholera, which sometimes wiped out entire villages.
(Adapted from Outline of U.S. History, 2010, page 87)
A synonym for the word wiped out (line 14) is 
 
a) Built
b) Burned
c) Devastated
d) Remodeled
Gabarito:
C
Resolução:
No contexto em questão, "devastated" ("devastaram") é um sinônimo para "wiped out" ("varreram",
"aniquilaram"), expressão empregada na linha 14 do texto para se referir ao efeito que as doenças do
homem branco tiveram sobre as populações ameríndias.

Dilbert and Wally are Scott Adams’ main characters. Dilbert is usually wearing a red-and-black
striped tie which inexplicably curves upward; Wally is extremely cynical and often carries a cup of
coffee.
De acordo com a gramática e o contexto, as palavras e a expressão interrogativa que completam as
lacunas no Texto 1(2º quadro) e no Texto 2 (2º quadro – fala de Dilbert/3º quadro – fala de Wally) são,
respectivamente:
a) anyone/anything/How much.
b) someone/anybody/How long.
c) nothing/someone/How often.
d) nobody/nothing/How far.
e) anything/no one/How long.
Gabarito:
E
Resolução:
A alternativa correta é a E. De acordo com a gramática e o contexto, as palavras e a expressão
interrogativa que completam as lacunas no Texto 1(2º quadro) e no Texto 2 (2º quadro – fala de
Dilbert/3º quadro – fala de Wally) são, respectivamente, "anything", "no one" e "How long".
O pronome indefinido "anything" é empregado na primeira lacuna porque a sentença é negativa e se
refere a algo que não é humano. Já "no one" deve preencher a segunda lacuna porque expressa a
ausência de algo que, no caso, é um elemento humano. Por fim, "How long" é empregado porque
inicia uma pergunta que se refere à duração.

with the least fortune of these animals at the
Elephant
Nature Park outside Chiang Mai. As a sanctuary
for
orphaned and disabled elephants, some of which
have
been abused as work animals, the center invites
visitors
to help feed and bathe the gentle giants, as well
as assist
