TEXTO PARA AS PRÓXIMAS 3 QUESTÕES: 
The best way to boost self-esteem 
 
Working hard to accomplish great things is a 
healthy way to pump your ego? Not necessarily, 
according to researchers at the University of 
Michigan. In their survey of 642 college 
freshmen, those who measured their self-worth 
against objective standards, such as getting good 
grades, were actually more stressed - and 
received no higher marks - than those who based 
how they felt themselves of their relationships 
with others. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t 
work hard; just don’t make it all about you. 
“Instead of focusing on whether you’re 
succeeding, ask yourself, ‘What am I contributing 
to society? How will people benefit from what I’m 
doing?’” suggests lead researcher Jennifer 
Crocker, Ph.D. “This takes the pressure off you 
and guarantees that your work will always feel 
meaningful.” 
 
From the book Inglês Doorway, Wilson Liberato. 
 
QUESTÃO 01 
The underlined word in the text can be replaced 
by: 
[A] on the contrary. 
[B] furthermore. 
[C] however. 
[D] despite. 
 
Resposta comentada: [A] 
 
O termo “insted of” pode ser entendido como “em 
vez de” ou “em lugar de”, mesmos sentidos que 
podem ser dados ao termo “on the contrary”. 
 
 
 
QUESTÃO 02 
The phrasal verb in bold in the text means: 
[A] to become bigger or more important than 
something else. 
[B] to start legal action against somebody. 
[C] to continue something. 
[D] to remove something. 
 
 
Resposta Comentada: [D] 
 
O termo “takes of” pode ser entendido como 
“tirar” ou “levar” algo de algum lugar. Assim, o 
termo “to remove something”, “remover algo”, é 
a alternativa correta. 
 
QUESTÃO 03 
In the sentence “In their survey of 642 college 
freshmen, those who measured their self-worth 
against objective standards, such as getting good 
grades, were actually more stressed...”, the word 
in bold refers to: 
[A] college freshmen. 
[B] researchers. 
[C] good grades. 
[D] standards. 
 
Resposta Comentada: [A] 
 
Na frase apresentada a palavra “those”, 
“aqueles”, se refere à “college freshmen”, 
“calouros universitários”. Nela, é dito que, na 
pesquisa, os 642 calouros, aqueles que mediram 
sua autoestima em relação a padrões objetivos, 
como tirar boas notas, estavam na verdade mais 
estressados. 
 
QUESTÃO 04

[A] 1 - 4 - 3 - 2 
[B] 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 
[C] 1 - 4 - 2 - 3 
[D] 4 - 3 - 2 – 1 
 
Resposta Comentada: [C] 
 
A sequência correta de numeração é 1, 4, 2 e 3. 
O verbo modal “can” é usado para expressar 
habilidade ou para dizer que algo é possível, 
portanto, “can’t” indica uma impossibilidade. 
Para “should”, usado para dizer ou perguntar qual 
é a coisa mais correta ou melhor a ser feita, a 
alternativa correta é “advice”, conselho. 
“May” é usado quando se quer expressar 
possibilidades, portanto “possibility” é a 
alternativa correta. 
Por último, “must” é utilizado para mostrar que 
algo é necessário ou muito importante. Nas frases 
negativas serve para exprimir o sentido de 
proibição, assim “prohibition”, é a alternativa 
correta. 
Diante de tudo isso, a alternativa correta é de 
letra [C].

destacada, sendo formado pelo verbo auxiliar “to 
have” no presente simples e do verbo principal na 
forma do particípio do passado. 
A última delas, formada pela segunda condicional 
tense, é caracterizada utilizando o verbo “would” 
e serve para se referir a situações imaginárias ou 
então improváveis.

QUESTÃO 79 
What is the correct plural form of the words, in

[A] daughter, lives, days, and family. 
[B] daughters, life, day, and families. 
[C] daughters, lives, days, and family. 
[D] daughters, lives, days, and families. 
 
 
Resposta Comentada: [D] 
 
As palavras plurais corretas são: daughters, lives, 
days e families. 
A palavra “daughter”, entendida como filha, 
segue a regra regular para formar o plural dos 
substantivos em língua inglesa, adicionando a 
terminação “-s” ao final da palavra, se tornando 
“daughters”. No caso das palavras terminadas em 
“-f” e “-fe”, a regras de formação de plural se 
caracteriza por substituir estas terminações por 
“-ves”. Portanto, a palavra “life” se torna “lives”. 
A palavra “days” segue a mesma regra formal da 
palavra “daughter”, descrita acima, se tornando 
“days”. E, finalmente, para as palavras com 
terminação “-y”, e antes dele se encontra uma 
consoante, se acrescenta “-ies” em seu lugar, 
assim, “family” se torna “families”. 
Diante disso, a alternativa correta é de letra [D].

lírico da música explica que não importa o que o 
pai da garota diga, ele irá se casar com ela de 
qualquer maneira e que não importa o que o pai 
da mesma diga, confirmando a alternativa de

Ancient mummies unearthed in Egypt after 
more than 2,600 years 
Charlene Gubash and Adela Suliman 
 
 More than 2,600 years since they were 
buried, archaeologists in Egypt said Saturday 
they had found at least 59 ancient coffins in a vast 
necropolis south of the country’s capital Cairo, 
one containing the pristine mummy of an ancient 
priest. 
 The ornate sarcophagi have remained 
unopened since they were entombed near the 
famed Step Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara, 
according to Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and 
Antiquities. 
 Footage shared by the ministry showed 
colorful sarcophagi decorated with ancient 
Egyptian hieroglyphics. Other artifacts and at 
least 28 statues were found in the two deep wells, 
the ministry said. 
 A sealed door was also unearthed where it 
is expected more mummies may lie behind, said 
Khaled el-Anany the first Minister of Antiquities 
and Tourism, adding that the artifacts were in an 
excellent state of preservation and would be 
displayed in the Grand Egyptian museum next 
year. 
 Mostafa Waziri, the general director of 
Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, told NBC 
News that the find reminded him of the tomb of 
King Tutankhamun, because both had been 
discovered almost intact. 
 The Saqqara plateau is part of the 
necropolis of Egypt’s ancient city of Memphis. 
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 
1970s, it includes the famed Giza Pyramids. It is 
also home to tombs created across thousands of 
years between the 1st Dynasty (2920 B.C.-2770 
B.C.) and the Coptic period (395-642). 
 Hundreds of mummified animals, birds 
and crocodiles, as well as two mummified lion 
cubs were found in the region last year. 
 Last week, the ministry displayed a bronze 
statue of the god “Nefertam” one of the artifacts 
discovered with the ancient wooden coffins. 
 “Saqqara antiquities area is still revealing 
its secrets,” the ministry said.

A frase sublinhada foi construída em sua forma 
positiva: “The artifacts were in an excellent state 
of preservation.” expressa que os artefatos 
estavam em um excelente estado de 
conservação. 
Para que esteja em sua forma negativa, o verbo 
“were” deve ser seguido de “not”, se tornando 
“were not”, ou “weren’t”, na forma contraída. 
Assim, a frase “The artifacts were not in an 
excellent state of preservation.”, os artefatos não 
se encontravam em excelente estado de 
conservação, é a correta.

Resposta Comentada: [B] 
 
A frase em questão é construída tempo verbal do 
presente contínuo, present continuous. 
Este tempo verbal é utilizado quando se fala em 
ações que estão acontecendo no presente, no

verbal como “at this moment”, neste momento. 
Dessa forma a utilização do advérbio de tempo, a 
presença do verb to be na frase, e o verbo 
principal com a terminação “-ing” em “is working” 
confirmam a alternativa [B]. 
TEXTO PARA AS PRÓXIMAS 2 QUESTÕES: 
Fires and Hurricanes 
 
 In the US, fires burn in the west. Also, 
hurricanes hit the east. However, extreme 
weather is more and more usual in all of the 
world. 
 Scientists think that human activity brings 
more extreme weather. The planet is getting 
warmer. 
 A study finds that people are responsible 
for 97% of fires in the US. Warmer temperatures 
mean more fires. The fires start very easily. They 
are bigger. It is harder to stop them. 
 Warmer temperatures also make more 
hurricanes. The hurricanes are stronger. It is 
more common that they get the land. They break 
up houses. They kill people, too. Scientists expect 
more hurricanes this year. The hurricane season 
ends on November 30th.

TEXTO PARA AS PRÓXIMAS 2 QUESTÕES: 
A woman in Australia discovered her 
headaches were caused by tapeworm larvae 
in her brain 
Alaa Elassar 
 
 A 25-year-old woman in Australia 
discovered she had tapeworm larvae in her 
brain after suffering from a headache that lasted 
for more than a week. 
 The aches were caused by tapeworm 
larvae that had taken up space in her brain, 
according to a new study on her case by the The 
American Journal of Tropical Medicine and 
Hygiene published on September 21. 
 The woman, who never traveled overseas, 
is the first native case of the disease in Australia, 
the study said. Previous Australian cases of this 
infection were from immigrants or returning 
residents who traveled to regions where the 
disease is endemic to, such as Africa, Asia, and 
Latin America. 
 For the past seven years, the woman 
complained of headaches that would occur two-
or three-times a month and went away with 
prescribed migraine medication. However, her 
latest headache lasted for more than a week and 
came with more severe visual symptoms, 
including the blurring of her central vision. 
 An MRI of her brain led doctors to believe 
that a tumor might be the cause of her pain, but 
after operating and removing the lesion, they 
discovered it was actually a cyst full of tapeworm 
larvae. After the removal, she required no further 
treatment. 
 Tapeworms typically take up residence in 
human’s intestines, an infection known as 
taeniasis, and some can pass on their own 
without medication. The parasite is commonly 
transmitted when people consume undercooked 
pork - pigs are often intermediary tapeworm 
hosts - or come in contact with food, water and 
soil contaminated with tapeworm eggs. 
 The best line of defense against similar 
infection is cooking meat to safe temperatures, 
washing your hands with soap before eating and 
only eating food you can ensure was cooked in 
sanitary conditions.

QUESTÃO 96 
 The word “ensure” underlined in the text is 
closest in meaning to _______ . 
[A] like 
[B] remove 
[C] guarantee 
[D] misunderstand 
 
Resposta Comentada: [C] 
 
A palavra “ensure”, sublinhada no texto, expressa 
o sentido de garantir ou assegurar. Este mesmo 
sentido pode ser encontrado na palavra presente 
na alternativa [C], “garantee”, que pode ser 
entendida como garantia. 
 
QUESTÃO 97 
The words COMPLAINED and DISCOVERED in 
bold in the text are: 
[A] not verbs 
[B] modal verbs 
[C] regular verbs 
[D] irregular verbs 
 
Resposta Comentada: [C] 
 
Ambas as palavras “complained” e “discovered”, 
reclamou e descobriu ou descoberto, são verbos 
regulares, regular verbs. Os verbos regulares 
seguem a regra de adicionar -ed ou -d à forma 
base do verbo para criar as formas do passado, 
como é o caso de ambas as palavras citadas. 
 
QUESTÃO 98 
Choose the correct alternative to complete the 
sentence. “There’s _________ I can do. Please, 
take an aspirin!” 
[A] no 
[B] nothing 
[C] nobody 
[D] somebody 
 
 
Resposta Comentada: [B] 
 
A sentença é completada de forma correta pela 
palavra nothing, nada. Dessa forma, a sentença 
“There’s nothing I can do. Please, take an 
aspirin!”, não há nada que eu possa fazer, por 
favor, tome uma aspirina. Dessa forma, a frase 
fica na forma afirmativa e, ao usar a palavra 
nothing, evita-se a possibilidade de dupla 
negatividade numa mesma frase, pois, na língua 
inglesa, não se pode negar duas vezes a mesma 
coisa.

you living every day in excitement? Do you love 
what you’re doing? Are you excited every single

 If your answer to any of the above is a no, 
maybe, or not sure, that means you’re not living

you can get? You deserve nothing but the best. 
 Here are some ways to live your life to the 
fullest: 
 
 Live every day on a fresh new start. 
 Be true to who you are. 
 Quit complaining. 
 Be proactive. 
 Rather than think “what if”, think “next 
time”.

 Live consciously each day. 
 Be committed to your growth. 
 Know your inner self. 
 Discover your life purpose. 
 Stop putting life on hold.

even a sushi-bar aimed at the tourist market. It 
is relatively small and picturesque, with 
spectacular views over the Atlantic, and an hour-
long walking trail that winds from its upper limits 
to the top of the Dois Irmãos mountain. 
When pacified in 2012, Vidigal was already 
popular with artists, young Brazilians and 
foreigners. Scottish school librarian Graeme 
Boyd, 34, lived there for two six-month periods, 
in 2009 and 2011. “As long as foreigners respect 
the locals, make a contribution and use the 
business inside the favela, they will be 
welcomed,” he said. “People reacted to me as if I 
had lived there all my life”.

I have friends from Rio and they always kiss

Guillermo, from Chile: When it’s the first time I’m 
meeting someone or in formalsituations, I shake 
hands. With my male friends, I give them a hug 
or a pat on the back but If I’m greeting a female 
friend, it’s different: I give her a kiss on the cheek 
and sometimes I hug her. Women greet each 
other the same way: kissing and sometimes 
hugging. 
Marco, from Italy: I shake hands in formal 
situations. Where I live, kissing is acceptable. It’s 
OK for men to kiss each other, for men to kiss 
women or for women to kiss each other. But with 
my male friends I usually just give a hug or a pat 
on the back. 
Molly, from the USA: When I greet close friends I 
give them a hug. For casual friends, I just say 
“Hi”. For men it’s a little different. Where I live 
they never hug each other, it’s just “Hey, man”. 
In formal situations I always shake hands, and it’s 
important to shake hands firmly. When I’m saying 
good-bye to people I’m not very close to, I also 
shake hands, be it a man or a woman. Kissing is 
not usual around here, unless it’s among really 
close family members.

Alberto Santos Dumont (1873-1932) was born in 
Brazil and educated in Paris. He made his first 
balloon ascent in 1898 and, soon after that, 
began constructing dirigible airships. In 1901 
he won a Paris air race and international fame. 
(After the race, he asked Louis Cartier for a 
timepiece that would keep his hands free - the 
first wristwatch.) 
Turning to heavier-than-air machines, Santos 
Dumont built his 14-Bis in 1906, three years after 
the Wright brothers’ initial flight. His flight was 
the first in Europe, and his plane was the first 
anywhere to lift off the ground under its own 
power. In 1909 Santos Dumont designed the 
Demoiselle monoplane, the first modern light 
plane. 
In 1901 Santos Dumont fell ill with multiple 
sclerosis and retired from flying. He returned to 
Brazil in 1916. Ill and despondent over the use of 
aircraft in warfare, he committed suicide in 1932.

Often you can move your eyes quickly over the 
reading to find facts, names, dates, titles. For 
example, if you are looking for a date, you should 
move your eyes down the page looking for

nome é Paul Thompson." 
Mary continua a conversa utilizando o pronome 
interrogativo "where", entendido como “de onde”, 
para questionar sobre o local de origem de Paul:

frase “Has the cost of living doubled in relative

Os sinônimos corretos são despite, although, e in

Para o termo "In spite of" o sinônimo de 
"despite". Ambas as palavras expressam 
oposição ou contraste entre duas ideias, 
podendo, uma de suas traduções, ser entendidas

sinônimo de "although" pois expressam 
concessão, reconhecendo algo, mas indicando 
que isso não afeta outra afirmação, ambas 
fazendo referência à “embora” ou a “mesmo 
que”. Por fim, "eventually" pode ser substituído 
por “in the end”, sendo que ambos os termos se 
referem a algo que acontece depois de um 
período de tempo ou na conclusão de uma série

haven't put my trust in you.". O termo “haven’t” 
é a contração das palavras “have” e “not”, 
utilizado para se falar da forma negativa quando 
o tempo verbal present perfect é utilizado. A frase 
contida na alternativa de letra [D] está correta 
pois segue a formação gramatical deste tempo 
verbal: Sujeito seguido do verbo auxiliar 
“have/has” acompanhado da negativa “not” e do 
verbo principal na forma do particípio passado.
