PAS 1ª ETAPA 2018 CAD TELEVISÃO – Pag 3

   It is difficult to talk about people, power, and politics without discussing citizenship and democracy. These are highly debated concepts. But some reflection on what they mean is vital for planning and providing effective public support. These concepts help us define what kind of political system we are striving for, and the roles, rights, and responsibilities of all the participants.
       The many changes occurring around the globe are stretching and reshaping forms of social  organization and decision-making processes. To meet the challenges of the times, advocates and organizers may find it helpful to revisit the meaning of democracy and citizenship in their work. Throughout the world, many countries have undergone exciting reforms that have opened up political processes to people. In countries such as
the Philippines and South Africa, authoritarian governments have been brought down. In others, governments have taken significant measures to include women and other marginalized groups in public life.
             Internet: <www.powercube.net> (adapted).
Based on the text, it can be concluded that

1 a lot of changes are now taking place all over the world.
2 women used to be excluded from public life in some countries.
3 the Philippines and South Africa still remain under the rule of authoritarian governments.
4 the concept of democracy and citizenship is quite the same the world over.
5 people are now allowed to take part in political processes in most countries.

1        If you are to think about your future you can follow this advice. Find a place where you can think without being disturbed. At the end of it all, you are 4 planning for a successful future for yourself.
Thinking about a successful future is a necessity
and should be done without any distractions or
7 interruptions. Being in a quiet place will also help you think on your own as no other people will have little to zero influence on decisions you feel (10) comfortable with. It is your life that you’re thinking about, so staying focused in this moment of thinking will be of benefit later when you need to stay focused 13 on the actual acts to make you successful.
      To spend time on your own shouldn’t be
discouraged. Before taking action for a better future 16 for yourself, you need some clarity on what it is you exactly want. Ask yourself questions pertaining to what it is that you want, and not what others want for you.
Internet: <www.wikihow.com> (adapted).

    Considering the ideas of the text above and the vocabulary used in it, judge the items from 6 through 9.

6 In t he t ext, t he word “later” ( ℓ.11) means immediately afterwards.
7 According to the text you must take into account the opinion of some friends while thinking over about your future.
8 It can be inferred from the text that you need a quiet place if you want to think about you.
9 It can be concluded from the text that if you are to consider the way your future should be, you require a suitable place to do it.

  The action of Antigone follows on from the Theban civil war, in which the two brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, died fighting each other for the throne of Thebes after Eteocles had refused to give up the crown to his brother as their father Oedipus had prescribed. Creon, the new ruler of Thebes, has declared that Eteocles is to be honoured and Polynices is to be disgraced by leaving his body unburied on the battlefield (a harsh and shameful punishment at the time). As the play begins, Antigone vows to bury her brother Polynices’ body in defiance of Creon’s edict, although her sister Ismene refuses to help her, fearing the death penalty.
Creon, with the support of the Chorus of elders, repeats his edict regarding the disposal of Polynices’ body, but a fearful sentry enters to report that Antigone has in fact buried her brother’s body.
Internet: <www.ancient-literature.com> (adapted).

According to the text, judge the following items.

1_ Antigone wished Polynices to be treated as Eteocles was.
2_ Antigone succeeded in burying her brother.
3_ Eteocles and Polynices became enemies because they both wanted to be Thebes’s king.
4_ Oedipus wanted the throne to be taken by Eteocles.
5_ The text reveals a conflict between a personal wish and a governmental decision.

    Blindness is Saramago’s most powerful novel. It is a grim story of the barbarity, degeneracy, and overwhelming despair that overtakes a society in which every person but one goes blind, and all are trapped in some extreme political malevolence and transformed into brutish beasts floundering in the horror of that awful darkness of total blindness that visits all humanity held in some totalitarian vice. None of the characters in Blindness is given a name. There is the doctor and the doctor’s wife, the girl with the dark glasses, the old man with the black eye patch, etc., written just like that, without even the dignity of initial capitals. Saramago pushes his characters to the limits of endurance to suggest that there is no bodily degradation that a person will not submit to in order to survive.
Internet: <www.dalkeyarchive.com> (adapted).

      Based on the text, judge the following items.

6_ Only some characters in Blindness behave as inhuman, as fierce persons.
7_ No other Saramago’s novel is as powerful as Blindness.
Blindness is a story where every person becomes unable to see.

 9 Saramago shows in the novel that human survival is above any kind of physical degradation.

         Look at your study from a different perspective. The study may be in an area you really dislike or you just do not care about. Try to think outside the actual pages before you and put the topic into a wider perspective. Think of the sorts of careers people have using this study topic; think of how everyday problems are solved using the techniques that the study is requiring of you. This can help to enliven otherwise dull matter and can impress a teacher if you show how this knowledge applies elsewhere in some way. It demonstrates application to the topic in spite of your reservations. In addition, it helps you to get rid of the irritation it can cause.           Internet: <www.wikihow.com> (adapted).

          Based on the text, it is correct to say that


1.     a teacher can be pleased if the student shows him the use of the knowledge he teaches.

2.     you must try hard and learn the contents you have to study no matter whether you like or dislike them.

3.     you can find a certain subject dull but you could think it may be useful for some careers.

4.     the problems you find can be solved by using the techniques presented in the text, whatever they are.

5.     you can get rid of a tedious matter if you just follow the advice given in the text.


People have always done this. Someone who lives only in the moment is not quite human. During the past few hundred years, however, future thinking has expanded hugely in scope and substance. Living in the present now means living with a future-consciousness richer and more informed than humans have ever been able to benefit from in the past. We have a battery of new ways of monitoring our planet, even as we are changing it, and far better information about the lives of everyone living here. Then we need to believe that the daily, personal decisions we make are linked, in a million small ways, to those larger prospects — for they surely are. Global futures are built from personal choices in the present — yours and mine.
 Internet: <www.guardianbookshop.co.uk> (adapted).

According to the text, it can be correctly deduced that

6.      living today is better than it used to be.
7.      man’s present actions are destroying our planet.
8.      those who don’t plan their lives have an empty life.
9.      individual decisions can bring about changes to Earth.

 10 The charge suggests that

     A.      the students are reading the same subject matter.
      B.       one student is studying mathematics.
       C.       some students are studying philosophy.
       D.      most students are writing while others are reading.

      Today Brazil has the largest population of Black origin outside of Africa. As with all great migrations, the Africans that arrived in Brazil not only brought over their strength and beauty but also their music and cultural traditions. Their cultural traditions would inevitably blend with the Portuguese and Amerindian customs to produce a unique cultural manifestation of its own. Over the past fifty years, many films such as Orfeu Negro, City of God and Favela Rising have increased the visibility of Afro-Brazilians in film. To this day a powerful outlet for cultural expression continues to be music. Brazil's hip-hop and baile funk scenes are raw and improvisational art forms that are still coming into being. The music is being produced and supported, to a large degree, by Afro-Brazilians living in the neighborhoods.
 Internet: <www.huffingtonpost.com> (adapted).
  Based on the text, it is correct to conclude that

1.       only rarely do migrants take any of their cultural heritage along to their new countries.
2.       the quantity of Brazilian films depicting Afro-Brazilians is still small.

3.       Brazil’s hip-hop and baile funk are uninhibited and spontaneous artistic manifestations.
4.    no other country in the world, except in the African continent, has a Black population as large as that of Brazil.

5 .  From the picture at side, it is correct to deduce that

   A.      the soldier shows up to bring the fight to an end as that was formerly forbidden in Brazil.
    B.       the woman is related to one of the men who are taking part in the fight.
     C.       the men are fighting over the woman’s affection.
D.      capoeira is known to be a violent duel.

        There are hundreds of career options out there. How do make a career choice when you don't really know what you want to do? Does it seem like an insurmountable task? It's not. Yes, you will have to put some time and energy into making your decision, but your effort will be well worth it in the end. Before you can make a career choice, you have to learn about yourself. Your values, interests and skills, in combination with certain personality traits, will make some careers especially suitable for you and some particularly inappropriate. You can use self assessment tools, often called career tests, to gather this information and, subsequently, to generate a list of occupations that are deemed appropriate. Some people choose to have career counselors or other career development professionals administer these tests but many opt to use free career tests that are available on the Web.
Internet: <www.studymode.com> (adapted).

       According to the text, judge the items below.

6.       A career profile depends exclusively on individual characteristics.
7.       There are at least three different ways to help you choose a career.
8.       There are a few career choices.
9.       Finding a suitable career path requires hard work, but it is a worthwhile task.

“This promotion means you’ll be getting the blame *directly from me.”

1 Muniz questions the nature and traditions of visual representation by ingeniously using unlikely materials to    “draw” the subjects of his conventional gelatine-silver prints.
4 He begins by making a Polaroid photograph. Using the
Polaroid as a reference, he draws his subject in chocolate
syrup, dirt, or sugar, and photographs the result. His “Sugar
7 Children” series consists of photographs of drawings he made in sugar of children whose parents and grandparents have worked on the sugar plantation on the island of Saint Kitts.
Internet:<www.moma.org> (adapted).

According to the text above, judge the items below.


1 Muniz is a well-known sculptor.
2 Muniz makes use of unusual materials to create his art.
3 Muniz creates a relation between the materials he uses and some historic event.
4 In the text, “ingeniously” (R.2) is synonymous with skilfully.
5 Muniz can be considered a conventional artist.


     A question arises: whether it is better to be loved than
feared or feared than loved. It may be answered that one should
wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one
person, it is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two,
either must be dispensed with.
      It may also generally be said that men are thankless, false,
and ambitious, they will offer you their blood, sacrifice their
property, and they will entirely be devoted to you while danger is
distant, but in the hour of need they turn against you.
Internet: <www.constitution.org> (adapted).

Based on the text, judge the following items.

6 In case a choice is to be made between to be feared or loved,
to be feared should come first because it is less dangerous.
7 Men are not trustworthy.
8 It is better to be loved than to be feared.
9 Finding someone who can be both feared and loved is unlikely.

Brasília  

                                
1 Though Brazil is one of
the richest countries in the
world, much of it is not
4 developed yet. It was mainly
for this reason that the
Brazilian government decided
7 to have a new city built 600
miles north-west of Rio de
Janeiro. Designed by the great
10 architect Lucio Costa, the new
city, Brasília, replaced Rio de
J aneiro as the capital of Brazil
13 in 1960. Brasília was carefully
planned for modern living. Its wide roads, which can take twelve
lanes of traffic, are distant from living areas. Some things
16changed: children did not have to cross busy streets to go to
school. Now they do. The city grew and the problems of large
cities are present, too. At first, the government had great
19difficulty in convincing people to leave Rio and to come to live
in Brasília. From 1960 on, however, the population grew to more
than one million people. Brasília established itself as the capital
22of the country.

pre-intermediate students. Longman, 1990, p. 219 (with adaptations).
QUESTÃO 6

QUESTÃO 6

As stated in text I, judge the following items.

1 One of the reasons for building Brasília was to help develop
some areas of Brazil.

2 The last capital of Brazil, before Brasília, was Rio de Janeiro.

3 Modern living was not taken into consideration when Brasília
was planned.

4 There are wide avenues crossing residential areas all over
Brasília.
QUESTÃO 7

QUESTÃO 7

According to text I, judge the items below.

1 At first, people were very happy with the idea of moving to
the new capital.

2 In the sixties, traffic in Brasília was as heavy as it is
nowadays.

3 Nowadays, Bras ília has problems that are common in most
large cities.

4 At present, the population of Brasília is the same as it was in
the beginning.
QUESTÃO 8

QUESTÃO 8

Judge the following items according to text I.

1 “Its” (L.14) can be correctly replaced by It is.
2 “wide” (L.14) is the opposite of narrow.
3 The word little is a correct antonym for “great” (L.19).
4 “itself” (L.22) refers to “population” (L.21).

QUESTÃO 9

Brazil is a special country. It is large, with continental
dimensions, thirty-four times bigger than England. Its diversity is
one of the reasons for being such an attractive country. Brazilian
people include a large number of ethnic groups and are
characterized by their tolerant spirit and their unique way of life.
They are very enthusiastic and highly communicative.



According to the text and the picture above, Brazil

                                                                                                                                                  Brazil. Zorn B. V., p. 2 (with adaptations).
1 is a continent.

2 has a homogeneous population.

3 has an easygoing people.

4 is bigger than England together with twenty-three other European
countries.

QQUESTÃO  10

The best of Brazil


No one could imagine five years ago, that Brazil had the
best and most efficient charitable organizations in the world. Yet,
for example, Brazil was the first country where a social assistance
service received the ISO 9000 classification, more specifically ISO
9002, planned for the service sector. Avape, a charity institution in
São Bernardo do Campo that cares for the physically handicapped,
was the first organization in the world which received this
certificate. In fact, this required the creation of a new ISO sector.
Ícaro Brasil. oct/99, p. 144 (with adaptations).

Judge the following items in relation to the text above.


1 Avape obtained its ISO 9000 classification for the fifth time in 1994.
2 The Brazilian tradition of excellence in charity organizations began
in the early 20th century.
3 The ISO 9002 classification does not apply to all sectors in
industries.
4 Before 1994, no charity institution in the world received an
ISO 9002 certificate.

Text for items 19 through 26.
(Os números no texto se referem às linhas, na prova original)

The nature of science and scientific theories

1 Science is a method of explaining the natural world.
It assumes that if you can observe or measure anything, it is
amenable(1)  to scientific investigation. Science also assumes that
4 the universe operates according to regularities which scientific
investigations can discover and explain. The testing of various
explanations of natural phenomena for their consistency with
7 empirical(2)  data is an essential part of the methodology of science.
Explanations that are not consistent with empirical
evidence or cannot be tested empirically are not a part of
10 science. As a result, explanations of natural phenomena that
are not based on evidence but on myths, personal beliefs,
religious values, and superstitions are not scientific.
13 Furthermore, because science is limited to explanations of
natural phenomena through the use of empirical evidence, it
cannot provide religious or ultimate explanations.
1 amenable: that can be tested by something.
2 empirical: based on what is experienced or seen, rather than on theory.
Adapted from Internet: (with adaptations).


According to the text above, it can be deduced that

19 science is particularly concerned with abstract ideas.
20 explanations of the natural world must be consistent with empirical evidence so that they can be considered scientific.
21 everything in the natural world can be measured by scientific method.
22 science and religion take into consideration the universe.


In the text,

23 “also” (Linha 3) means in addition.
24 “assumes” (L.3) can be correctly replaced by proves.
25 “their” (L.6) refers to “The testing” (L.5).
26 “phenomena” (L.10) is a plural form.


Eureka! – the birth of science

That man ever managed to develop a ‘scientific’
attitude to the natural world is one of the true wonders of
human thought. And answering the question of where and
how this attitude began to be noticed can help us better
understand the world we live in and the science that
governs it.
Eureka! shows that science proper began with the
Greeks. Disciplines as diverse as Medicine, Biology,
Engineering, Mathematics and Cosmology all have their
roots in ancient Greece. Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras,
Archimedes and Hippocrates were among its stars — master
architects all of modern, as well as ancient, science. But
what lay behind this colossal eruption of scientific activity?
Free from intellectual and religious dogma, the
Greeks rejected explanation in terms of myths and
capricious gods, and, in distinguishing between the natural
and the supernatural, they were the first to discover nature.
They began to develop and test new theories, leading to a
rapid increase in the sophistication of knowledge, and
ultimately to an awareness of the distinction between science
and technology.
Adapted from Internet: (with adaptations).


Based on the text above, judge the following items.

27 It is correct to say that the fundamentals of science started with the Greeks.
28 Modern science has nothing to do with the classical scientific tradition.
29 Some ancient people believed in myths.
30 The Greeks kept science and religion apart.

1 Two friends were camping together. Their names were Alex and
Robert. Robert was very lazy. The first evening of their holiday, Alex said to
Robert:
4 — ‘Here’s some money. Go and buy the meat.’
— ‘I’m too tired’, answered Robert. ‘You go.’ So Alex went to buy the meat.
— When he came back, he said to Robert, ‘Now, here’s the meat. Please,
7 cook it.’ But Robert replied, ‘No, I’m not good at cooking. You do it.’ So
Alex cooked the meat.
— Then Alex said to Robert, ‘Cut the bread,’ but Robert answered ‘I don’t
10 want to,’ so Alex cut the bread.
— Then he said to Robert, ‘Go and get some water, please.’
— ‘No I don’t want to get my clothes dirty,’ Robert answered, so Alex got
13 the water.
— At last Alex said, ‘the meal’s ready. Come and eat it.’
— ‘Well, I’ll do that,’ answered Robert. ‘I don’t like saying “no” all the time.’
Adapted from L. A. Hill. Elementary stories for reproduction. Tokyo: Oxford University Press, 1980, p. 56.


Taking into consideration the text together with its picture, judge the following items.

1 Robert uses serious arguments to justify the real motives for his excuses.

2 The last remark made by Robert presents an amusing, unexpected reaction which shows the comic irony of the text.

3 Robert is the guy standing up and Alex is bending on his knees.

4 The sentence ‘“I’m too tired’, answered Robert” (L.5) can be correctly rewritten as Robert said that he was too tired.

5 Supposing that Robert always behaves as shown in the text above, he would probably


A participate in voluntary work against our planet pollution.

B take part in public campaigns to fight against hunger and poverty.

C read books aloud for children in hospitals.

D look for personal advantages from social programmes without having to give something back.

6 What is the main message of the photo?

A Those who contaminate their lungs pollute the
atmosphere.

B Those who pollute the atmosphere contaminate themselves.

C Those who do not contaminate their lungs do not pollute the atmosphere.

D Those who wear masks do not contaminate themselves.

Based on the photo, judge the following items.

7 The photo suggests that we must be critical about actions
that endanger life on Earth.

8 The girl in the photo is wearing a mask to call people’s

attention to heart diseases.

Disabled Olympics

           A few years ago, at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants, all physically or mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash. At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a relish(1) to run the race to the finish and win. All, that is, except one little boy who stumbled(2) on the asphalt, tumbled (3) over a couple of times, and began to cry. The other eight heard the boy cry. They slowed down and looked back. Then they all turned around and went back…every one of them. One girl with Down’s Syndrome bent down and kissed him and said, “This will make it better.” Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish line. Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on for several minutes. People who were there are still telling the story. Why? Because deep down we know this one thing: What matters in this life is more than winning for ourselves. What matters in this life is helping others win, even if it means slowing down and changing our course.
Internet: (with adaptations).
Glossary:
1relish
: enjoyment you get from doing something.

2to stumble: to put a foot down awkwardly while walking or running, and because of this to fall or begin to fall.
3to tumble: to fall or make sb sth fall, esp. in a sudden helpless way, often without serious injury.


Judge the following items based on the text above.

16 The author believes that people should not expect much from disabled contestants.
17 Considering that 1 yard corresponds to 0,914 meter, it is correct to state that the race had less than 100 meters.
18 The little boy who fell down was ahead of the others.
19 All the nine contestants ran together, arm in arm, to the finish line.
20 The disabled contestants taught a lesson on solidarity to everyone in the stadium.
21 The proverb A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle expresses the idea of solidarity.
22 Nobody remembered the incident after the Special Olympics ended.


Global Youth Service Day

(Os números se referem às linhas no texto, da prova original)
1
From Argentina to Zimbabwe to India and from Russia

to the United States, around the world, millions of young
people are getting organized and becoming involved in
4 voluntary projects. Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) is the
largest event in the world, involving over three million young
volunteers in more than ninety-five countries. On this day,
7 young people carry out hundreds of thousands of community
improvement projects and celebration events.
In Costa Rica – 250 youth volunteers built eighteen homes
10 in two towns.
In Guyana – volunteers cleaned schools, fed the poor, painted road signs, and visited the elderly and disabled.
13 In Russia – volunteers helped in local children’s homes and picked up litter in forests. In the United States – 400 volunteers built playgrounds in
16 poor areas of Washington, D.C.
This day is a way for local, national, and international
organizations to:
recognize the important contributions of                                                 millions of young people worldwide; recruit a new generation                          of global volunteers, willing to
22 help serve their community; promote young people as resources in their communities.
Craven Mike. Extending reading keys. Macmillan, 2003 (with adaptations)

It can be deduced from the text above that

23 exactly three million young volunteers participate in GYSD.
24 250 young people received no money to build homes in Costa Rica.
25 the voluntary projects include building homes.
26 on average, it took more than twelve volunteers to build each house in Costa Rica.
27 not many youngsters are interested in serving their community.

The circus is coming to town!

1 These were the electrifying words that signaled the arrival of

many top-notch(1) circuses in many American cities during the
early days of the 1900s. The excitement was not limited to
4 children, as adults shared the same anticipation for these visits.
Crowds of mostly adults used to watch the parade coming down
the streets. If it was a rainy day, neither the elephants nor the large
7 crowd seemed to mind.
The circuses up until the early 1940s always arrived by
train. There was always a crowd waiting to watch the offloading
10 and preparations for the parade through town. Rail was the
preferred transportation in those days simply because trucks large
enough to carry the huge tents and poles were not available or
13 reliable for cross-country travel until the 1940s.
The parade went where the crowds were, and the street
cleaners always followed them closely. Some circus workers arrived
16 before the arrival of any circus and placed colorful flyers(2) about the
circus on almost every telephone or light pole in town.
Teachers used to tell students to drop everything, form
19 up in lines and march out to the sidewalk to watch the circus
parades pass by. Every good circus was led by a loud band to
announce that they were on their way.
22 Many teenagers used to work cleaning animal waste
because it was extremely difficult for them to come up with the
$.25 cent admission fee in those days. So, many of them were
25 more than willing to work a few hours for the free ticket. The
amount of work available was in direct proportion to the number
of horses and elephants in the circus.
28 The early 1900s were impressive for the local spectators
because th eir only other exposure to exotic wild animals from
faraway places like Africa was through black and white pictures in
31 newspapers and magazines. The 3-ring acts under the big top were
fascinating because even in the early 1940s nobody had ever seen
anything like it. They presented excellent live shows that thrilled
34 young and old alike.
In later years, the circuses were transported by trucks rather than by train.

of the highest quality.

(2) flyers – a small sheet of paper advertising an event, a shop, a product etc. that is widely distributed.

The importance of play 

         What do most Nobel Laureates, innovative entrepreneurs,
artists and performers, well-adjusted children, happy couples and
families, and the most successfully adapted mammals have in
common? They play enthusiastically throughout their lives.
What common denominator is shared by mass assassins,
abused children, depressed mothers, caged animals, and
chronically worried students? Play is rarely or never a part of
their lives.
       Some Americans love to play. We flock(1) to places like
Disneyland, Sea World, Universal Studios, among others. We
swarm(2) to golf courses, tennis courts and soccer fields. We go to
fishing ponds, water parks, concert halls, and pool halls.
The meaning of play is unknown to most of us, partly
because our work-obsessed society denies its value and relegates
it to a position far below that of work.

Glossary:

1flock: (v) move, come or go together in great numbers.
2swarm: (v) come together in a large group, like insects.

the biggest biological diversity worldwide. The Brazilian territory
is home to 15 to 30% of all the species in the planet. 22% of the
flora, 10% of amphibians and mammals and 17% of the birds of
the world can be found at the big national ecosystems, namely:
The Amazon Jungle, the Mata Atlântica (Atlantic Forest), which
changed into the Mata das Araucárias (Araucaria or Brazilian
Pine Forest) in the south of the country, the Cerrado (tropical
Meadows), the Pantanal (Brazilian Lowlands), the “Caatinga”
(or Semiarid region) and the Pampas (or Southern Grasslands).
There are also coastal ecosystems, with a great diversity of
environments, and caves of the speleological heritage, considered,
by law, special ecosystems.
