Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon
Pgina 1 de 34
Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon is a Brazilian modernist novel. It was written by Jorge Amado in
1958 and it is widely considered one of his finest works. The action of the novel begins in 1925
in the provincial port of Ilhus in Brazil's northeastern state of Bahia.
The book tells two separate but related tales: first, the romance between Nacib Saad and
Gabriela. Second, it describes the political struggle between the old guard of Cacao growers
and the forces of modernization, in the person of Mundinho Falco. It can be read
simultaneously as an unusual, charming love story, a description of the political and social
forces at work in 1920s Brazil, a somewhat satirical depiction of Latin American aspirations to
"modernity", and a celebration of the local culture and pleasures of Bahia.

O Auto da Compadecida
Pgina 2 de 34
O Auto da Compadecida is a 2000 Brazilian comedy film, directed by Guel Arraes, with a
screenplay by Arraes and Adriana Falco. It is based on the 1955 play of almost the same name
by Ariano Suassuna.
The plot concerns the adventures of Joo Grilo (Matheus Natchergaele) and Chic (Selton
Mello), the most cowardly of men. The lively Joo Grilo and the tricky Chic are poor guys who
cheat a bunch of people in a small northeast Brazilian town. But when they die, they have to be
judged by Christ, the Devil and the Virgin Mary, before they are admitted to paradise.
The film was a critical and commercial success in Brazil and in some South American countries
like Chile and Venezuela. It was not as well-received in English-speaking countries.

4. (Uem 2013) Gabby Douglas: I was called a slave
The two gold medals star gymnast Gabby Douglas took home from the London Olympics almost
never happened. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Douglas revealed that the bullying she
received from her teammates at her training gym in Virginia Beach was at one point so
unbearable that she considered quitting the sport. She said the other girls ostracized her and
told racist jokes, and at one point suggested that she should clean the equipment: Why doesnt
Gabby do it? Shes our slave. Douglas said she would come home at night and just cry my
eyes out.

TEXTO PARA AS PRXIMAS 7 QUESTES:
Eye on tsunamis
Tsunamis aren't moon-driven tides or wind-driven waves at the sea surface. They're
caused by violent movements of rocks seafloor earthquakes usually that can put a whole
ocean in motion. Since the first one on record along Syria's coast in about 2000 B.C., a few
thousand tsunamis have collectively killed more than five hundred thousand people. Nearly half
those deaths occurred in a single catastrophe in the Indian Ocean in 2004; as coastal
populations have boomed, tsunamis have grown more lethal. Their Japanese name it means
"harbor wave" is perhaps a bit too quiet.
Most large tsunamis arise around the rim of the Pacific and Indian oceans, along
seafloor faults called subduction zones, where colliding tectonic plates trigger large
earthquakes. Waves spread in opposite directions from the fault. Within minutes the first waves
crash onto nearby land, as in Japan in 2011; within hours they cross the ocean. Even thousands
of miles away, a harbor may not be safe. Tsunamis remain dangerous after they've crossed a
whole ocean, barreling at the speed of a jetliner. The one that savaged Japan swept a man in
California out to sea.
Some sixteen thousand people died in Japan last March 11, most of them along
hundreds of miles of coast in the Tohoku region, and nearly four thousand are still missing. The
tsunami eradicated several towns and villages in Tohoku and left hundreds of thousands
homeless.

Key to career success is confidence, not talent

Although workers with big egos will often perform poorly and make more mistakes, their
colleagues consistently 1fail to spot their errors and continue to believe they are terrific or
beloved.
Their personality means they are often promoted over those who are more competent, as
colleagues 2mistake their confidence for talent.
A study of more than 500 students, academics and workers, published in the Journal of
Personality and Social Psychology, showed that 3those who appeared more confident achieved
a higher social status than their peers. Within a work environment, higher-status individuals
tended to be more admired, listened to, and had more sway over group decisions.
Prof Cameron Anderson of the University of California, who 5led the research, said that those
who were overconfident often 6sought power, fame or success and that overconfidence was
encouraged by 8the prospect of increased social status, respect and esteem.
4
The researchers 7found that many of their subjects believed sincerely that they were more
9
physically talented, socially adept and skilled at their jobs than reality reflected. Although we
may seek to choose wisely, we are often forced to rely on proxies for ability, such as
10
individuals confidence. In so doing we, as a society, create incentives for those who would
seek status to display more confidence than their actual ability merits.

The Dictionary of American Regional English
Joan Houston Hall, a lexicographer, is concerned about the use of regionalisms throughout the
country. She works in one of Americas most ambitious lexicographical projects, which
culminates with the publication of a dictionary by Harvard University Press, 50 years after the
project was inaugurated by Frederic G. Cassidy.
Mr. Cassidy, who died in 2000, did not make it to the end of the alphabet. But to scholars and
language lovers the work he set in motion is an invaluable guide to the way Americans 1not only
speak but also live. The dictionary includes 2nearly 60,000 terms, many of them reflecting the
countrys rural and agricultural past. But among the pages and pages of names for wildflowers
and farm implements, DARE, as the dictionary is commonly known, includes enough newer
terms to suggest that the state of regional English isnt quite as bad as may suggest the laments
about the homogenizing forces of urbanization, mass media and the Internet.
Ms. Hall recognizes that the extremes of regional speech are disappearing; however, she is
pleased to find out that there are still lots of regional words. If it has become harder to find many
different terms for outdated expressions, thats partly because people today are 3more likely to
be talking about fast food or traffic. 4In fact, in the age of Twitter and Facebook, linguists say, the
interactions that most powerfully shape our speech are still local and face to face. 5In sum,
American English 6actually has more words for the same things than ever before.

Churrasco: a typical food in the south of Brazil
Brazilian food is varied and interesting. As it happens with every country, the cuisine of Brazil is
strongly related to the history and culture of the country and varies from one region to another,
sometimes in such a way that visitors might feel like they are in different countries. One of the
most common foods in the southern region of Brazil is churrasco. A recipe of this popular food
follows below:
Recipe of Churrasco Gacho
Ingredients:
fine quality cuts of beef, lamb, veal, ribs, etc.
salt
mashed cloves of garlic
water
Preparation:
Set the fire and be sure the coals are bright before putting on the meat. Assemble meat cuts on
metallic skewers and set on the grill. Turn skewers frequently. When the meat begins to brown,
make a salty liquid dissolving the salt in the water with the garlic and baste the meat with it.
Hints:
Cuts with more fat are the best for charcoal grilling.
It takes about 1 hour above the fire.
Serving:
Cut slices from outside and serve. Keep meat warm on the grill while not serving. Always baste
the meat waiting on the grill with the salty liquid to keep it juicy and fresh.

19. (Ufba 2012) RUSSIAN ARMS FLOOD LATIN MARKET
Latin America is becoming the hottest new market for Russian arms and Washington seems
to be the unwitting facilitator. According to a new report by the International Institute for Strategic
Studies, Russia has signed deals with Venezuela, Peru, Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia worth a
total of $5.8 billion in 2008 in exchange 5 for access to oil and gas reserves, and is actively
negotiating with Bolivia, Uruguay, and Ecuador. Though Latin American defense spending is
modest, and U.S. allies Mexico and Colombia have the biggest defense budgets, Russia is
making big inroads in a region that Washington thinks of as its backyard. Venezuela has
emerged as Russias preferred client, buying four billion dollars in tanks, fighter jets, and assault
rifles since 2007. Last year Moscow extended about two billion in credit to Caracas for the
purchase of Russian weapons. In turn, Russian oil companies will be given ample access to
Venezuelan oilfields.
The U.S. is at least partly to blame for Russias recent upsurge. Since 2006 Washington has
aggressively cut back weapons sales to countries judged unstable 15 or soft on terror (read:
Venezuela). Thats just fine with Moscow, which seems more than happy to rush in to fill the
demand.

Space hotel to give rich a thrill thats out of this world

Russian engineers have announced 15the ultimate get-away-from-it-all holiday, revealing
plans to put a hotel into orbit 200 miles above Earth by 2016. The 17four-room Hotel in the
Heavens would 6house up to seven guests 1who would be able to dance happily in zero-gravity
while watching as our planet turns.
16
The out-of-this-world experience will not come 7cheaply, however. Space tourists will
have to pay 500,000 to travel on a Soyuz rocket to get to the hotel before struggling to pay a
further 100,000 for a 18five-day stay.
The hotel will be aimed at 8wealthy individuals and people working for private
companies who want to do research in space, said Sergei Kostenko, chief executive of Orbital
Technologies, 2which will construct the orbiting guest house. A hotel should be comfortable, and
this one will be.
The news that Russia plans to launch a hotel into outer space is the latest example in a
series of extreme holidaymaking projects. As the world accumulates more and more billionaires,
entrepreneurs are seeking 10newer and more demanding ways to provide 3them with the
ultimate in hi-tech thrills. Apart from space hotels, which have also been touted recently by US
Pgina 8 de 34

and European aerospace companies, proposals to fly 19thrill-seekers on rocket flights to the
edge of space are now being finalised by Richard Bransons Virgin Galactic as well as by US
companies.
In the case of the space hotels, hedonism will be limited. Orbital Technologies have
made it 11clear that guests will be restricted to consuming 20iced tea and fruit juices for 4their
liquid intake. 13Alcohol will be banned. In addition, 21waste water will be recycled while air will be
filtered to remove odour and bacteria and then returned to cabins.
Tourists, accompanied by experienced crew, will also have to dine on food prepared on
Earth and reheated in microwave ovens, while showers will be carefully sealed affairs to prevent
water escaping as globules that otherwise would float around the hotels interior.
It is scarcely five-star 9luxury. On the other hand, there will be many compensations.
Views of the Earth from the space hotels special observation windows should be 22breathtaking
as the craft fastly moves round our planet every 90 minutes providing guests with 16 sunsets
and 16 sunrises a day. Visitors will also be able to choose to have their beds vertically or
horizontally inclined to their line of flight. Indeed, the prospect of weightlessness offers all sorts
of zero-gravity activities that, on Earth, can only be dreamt of.
14
By contrast, the pleasures offered for 5those who go on suborbital flights offered by
Virgin Galactic will be over far more quickly. Launched on craft pioneered by aviation designer
Burt Rutan, this craft will allow passengers to slip the bonds of the gravitational field for only a
few minutes before their rocket-powered craft descends back to Earth. On the other hand, the
companys plans are far 12more advanced than those put forward by most other space tourism
entrepreneurs. Branson says Virgin Galactics first flights should begin next year. Tickets will
cost a mere $200,000, with celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Tom Hanks and Stephen Hawking
signing up for early flights. A billionaires dream venture, in other words.

In 1927, Ernest Hemingway published a collection of short stories titled Men Without
Women. Today, 1less than a century later, it sums up the predicament of a rising proportion of
mankind.
According to the United Nations, there are far more men than women on the planet. The
gender gap is especially pronounced in Asia, where there are a hundred million more guys than
girls. This may come as a surprise to people in the Western world, where women outnumber
men because other things being equal the mortality rate for women is lower than for men
in all age groups. Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen calls it the mystery of Asias
missing women.
The mystery is partly explicable in terms of economics. In many Asian societies, girls
are less well looked after than boys because they are economically undervalued. The kind of
domestic work they typically do is seen as less important than paid work done by men. And, of
course, early marriage and minimal birth control together expose them to the risks of multiple
pregnancies.
When Sen first added up the missing women women who would exist today 2if it
were not 3for selective abortion, infanticide, and economic discrimination he put the number
at hundred million. It is surely higher now. For, even as living standards in Asian countries have
Pgina 10 de 34

soared, the gender gap has widened. Thats because a cultural preference for sons over
daughters leads to selective abortion of female fetuses, a practice made possible by ultrasound
scanning, and engaged in despite legal prohibitions. The American feminist Mary Anne Warren
called it gendercide. Notoriously common in northwestern India, its also rampant in the worlds
most populous country: China.
That has scary implications. Remember, most of Hemingways stories in Men Without
Women are about violence. They feature gangsters, bullfighters, and wounded soldiers 4as well.
The most famous story is called simply The Killers.
It may be that the coming generation of Asian men without women will find harmless
outlets for their inevitable frustrations, like team sports or videogames. But I doubt it. Either this
bachelor generation will be a source of domestic instability, 5whether Brazilian-style crime or
Arab-style revolution or, 6as happened in Europe, they and their testosterone will be
exported. Theres already enough shrill nationalism in Asia as it is. Dont be surprised if, in the
next generation, it takes the form of macho militarism and even imperialism. Lock up your
daughters.

MODERN WARFARES SILVER LINING
Pgina 11 de 34

War may indeed be hell, but hell, apparently, isnt all that bad for your health. According
to a new study, during most armed conflicts since the 1970s, mortality rates have 1actually
declined. Thats not to say that war, in and of itself, leads to longer life spans. Instead, a major
reason for the 2drop is that conflict has become an impetus for international humanitarian
groups to ramp up their efforts in poor countries, and theyve learned to work public-health
miracles in a short amount of time.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for instance, just twenty percent of children
were vaccinated for measles in 1997, at the start of a decade-long civil war. But by 2007 that
3
figure was eighty percent. The metrics on other health initiatives, from treating malnutrition to
distributing bed nets, tell a similar story. Its never any fun living in a refugee camp, says
Andrew Mack, a professor at Simon Fraser University and the studys 4lead author. But the
mortality 5rates are better in many of those camps than they were before the war. Thats no
reason to celebrate warfare. But it does suggest that its 6damage has become much cheaper.

Stranger than fiction

By Hillel E. Silverman
When the Old and New Cities of Jerusalem were reunited in 1967, a recently widowed Arab
woman, who had been living in Old Jerusalem since 1948, wanted to see once more the house
in which she formerly lived. Now that the city was one, she searched for and found her old
home. She knocked on the door of the apartment, and a Jewish widow came to the door and
greeted her.
The Arab woman explained that she had lived there until 1948 and wanted to look around. She
was invited in and offered coffee. The Arab woman said, "When I lived here, I hid some
valuables. If they are still here, I will share them with you half and half."
The Jewish woman refused. "If they belonged to you and are still here, they are yours." After
much discussion back and forth, they entered the bathroom, loosened the floor planks, and
found a hoard of gold coins. The Jewish woman said, "I shall ask the government to let you
keep them." She did and permission was granted.
The two widows visited each other again and again, and one day the Arab woman told her new
Pgina 12 de 34

friend, "You know, in the 1948 fighting here, my husband and I were so frightened that we ran
away to escape. We grabbed our belongings, took the children, and each fled separately. We
had a three-month-old son. I thought my husband had taken 1him, and he thought I had.
Imagine our grief when we were reunited in Old Jerusalem to find that neither of us had taken
the child."
The Jewish woman turned pale, and asked the exact date. The Arab woman named the date
and the hour, and the Jewish widow told her: "My husband was one of the Israeli troops that
entered Jerusalem. He came into this house and found a baby on the floor. He asked if he could
keep the house and the baby, too. Permission was granted".
At that moment, a twenty-year-old Israeli soldier in uniform walked into the room, and the
Jewish woman broke down in tears. "This is your son," she cried.
This is one of those incredible tales we hear. And the aftermath? The two women liked each
other so much that the Jewish widow asked the Arab mother: "Look, we are both widows living
alone. Our children are grown up. This house has brought you luck. You have found your son
our son. Why dont we live together?" And they do.

A deluxe room at the luxurious Snake River Lodge & Spa, in Jackson, typically goes for $385 a
night, but it can be reserved for $192 this fall. The agreement: in order to qualify for the
discount, travelers must agree to spend a portion of their vacation moving barbed wire fences
from one place to another so local wildlife can walk more freely.
These days, it seems that almost every travel organization from tour companies to luxury
resorts has a volunteer component, whether it is tracking iguanas on Grand Cayman or
distributing food at soup kitchens in Moscow. You can even customize your trip, making it

luxury travel with a taste of volunteering through specially programmed volunteer vacations in
26 countries according to your individual skills, ranging from building classrooms while staying
in Morocco to helping preserve birds in New Zealand.

How to Feed a Growing Planet

Heres an uncomfortable math problem: by 2045 Earths population will likely have
swelled from seven to nine billion people. To fill all those stomachs while accounting for
shifting consumption patterns, climate change, and a finite amount of arable land and potable
water some experts say global food production will have to double. How can we make the
numbers add up?
Julian Cribb, author of The Coming Famine, says higher yielding crop varieties and
more efficient farming methods will be crucial. So will waste reduction. Cribb and other experts
urge cities to reclaim nutrients and water from waste streams and preserve farmland. Poor
countries, they say, can improve crop storage and packaging. And rich nations could cut back
on resource-intensive foods like meat. In fact, wherever there is easy access to cheap food,
people buy more than they consume. We could thus all start by shopping smarter and
cleaning our plates.
As Cribb notes, food security is increasingly a collective challenge. Its also a chance "to
pull together on something we can all agree about, share and enjoy".

Extreme weather events increased over past decade

Extreme weather events over the past decade have increased and were very likely
caused by human-induced global warming, according to a study in the journal Nature Climate
Change.
Scientists used physics, statistical analysis and computer simulations to link extreme
1
rainfall and 2heatwaves to global warming. The link between warming and 3storms was less
clear.
6
It is very likely that 7several of the unprecedented extremes of the past decade would
not have occurred without anthropogenic global warming. The past decade was probably the
warmest globally for at least a millennium.
9
Extreme weather events were devastating in their impacts and affected nearly all
regions of the world. They included 8severe 4floods and record hot summers in Europe; a record
number of tropical storms and 5hurricanes in the Atlantic in 2005; the hottest Russian summer
since 1500 in 2010 and the worst flooding in Pakistans history. In 2011 alone, the United States
suffered 14 weather events which caused losses of over $1billion each.
The high amount of extremes is not normal, the study said. For some types of extreme
weather, there are physical reasons why they would 10increase in a warming climate. For
example, 12if average temperature 11rises, then so will the number of heat records. Natural
weather patterns like El Nino or La Nina can also cause highs in global temperature or
increased precipitation which leads to floods.
The link between storms and hurricanes and global warming is less conclusive, but at
least some of recent rainfall extremes can be attributed to human influences on the climate.

Stress
2
Stress is your bodys response to the demands placed upon 1it. A little stress is a good
thing, but too much can have devastating consequences for your health and relationships.
Everyone needs a certain amount of stress to live well. Its what gets you out of bed in
the morning and gives you the vitality to do all sorts of things.
Stress becomes a problem when theres too much or too little. A lack of stress means
your body is 5understimulated, leaving you feeling 3bored and isolated. In an effort to find
stimulation, many people do things that are 4harmful to themselves (such as taking drugs) or
society (for instance, committing a crime).
However, too much stress, 7can result in a range of health problems including
headaches, stomach upsets, high blood pressure and even stroke or heart disease. It can also
cause 9feelings of distrust, anger, anxiety and fear.
People often feel 6over-stressed 8as a result of some event. This doesnt have to be
negative (such as the death of a loved one, redundancy or divorce); it can also be 10seemingly
positive (a new partner, new job or going on holiday).
Among the bad stressbusters, it is possible to mention drinking alcohol, 11denying the
problem, taking drugs, overeating and smoking cigarettes. On the other hand, the good
techniques to avoid stress are taking a nap; getting a massage; expressing yourself artistically;
having a laugh; being gentle to yourself; and making use of meditation and relaxation
techniques.

Music industry may seek salvation in all you can eat downloads
Things have moved on a little since the days when the 2greatest threat to the music
industry was teenagers furtively slipping blank tapes into ghetto blasters* to snatch the odd
song from the radiowaves.
Pgina 18 de 34

Todays young people, a new report suggests, are every bit as passionate about music
as their predecessors. But 3their love of a good tune is matched only by their proficiency at
obtaining it illegally and their reluctance to pay for 4it.
According to UK Music, the industry needs to fundamentally 5rethink the way it deals
with young music lovers ideally 1by offering them as much 6music as they can download for a
fixed fee.
* ghetto blaster: a large radio and tape recorder that can be carried around, and is often played
very loudly in public places.

54. (Uem 2010) Choose the alternative(s) in which the information about the words from the
text 2 is CORRECT.
01) The expression all you can eat (title) is explained in the extract by offering them as much
music as they can download (ref. 1).

shorter adjectives and adverbs.
04) The pronoun their (ref. 3) refers to teenagers from the past and it (ref. 4) refers to a
good song.
08) The prefix re as in rethink (ref. 5) means too much.
16) The noun music (ref. 6) cannot be used in the plural form as it is an uncountable noun in
English.
55. (Uem 2010) According to text 2, nowadays teenagers
01) are not as interested in music as they were in the past.
02) are prepared to pay for their passion for music.
04) show great ability to obtain the songs they want illegally.

16) find ghetto music more fun, unlikely their predecessors.

seguinte trecho funciona como justificativa para a escolha dessa alternativa: a description
of the political and social forces at work in 1920s Brazil.

04) Verdadeira. O texto afirma que a histria um relato at certo ponto satrico das aspiraes

02) Correta. A afirmao [02] coloca que Gabby Douglas era constantemente alvo de bullying
realizado pelas garotas com quem ela treinava. O seguinte trecho funciona como
justificativa: Douglas revealed that the bullying she received from her teammates...
(Douglas revelou que o bullying que ela recebia de suas colegas de treinamento...).
04) Correta. A afirmao [04] coloca que Gabby Douglas se tornou uma campe apesar de
momentos tristes no incio de sua carreira. A afirmao est correta, pois Gabby superou o
bullying realizado por suas colegas de treinamento.
08) Incorreta. O texto no afirma que Gabby no gostava de limpar o equipamento como parte
de suas atividades como ginasta. Na verdade, as colegas de Gabby a consideravam com
uma escrava e queriam que ela limpasse o equipamento.

(most large tsunamis arise around the rim of the Pacific and Indian oceans).
02) Correta. Os tsunamis realmente no so causados pelos ventos ou mars (tsunamis aren't

04) Correta. O texto fala que a maioria dos dezesseis mil mortos moravam ao longo da regio

Pgina 21 de 34

a grande mdia ter noticiado que o tsunami que afligiu o Japo em 2011 tenha sido o pior de
sua histria, o texto no traz essa informao em nenhuma ocasio, muito menos no ltimo
pargrafo. Em outras palavras, o texto realmente aborda o tsunami de 2011, mas no
encontrada a informao de que ele tenha sido o pior da histria japonesa (embora tal fato
poder ser considerado notrio). No entanto, uma vez que as respostas devem ser baseadas
nos textos, a proposio [08] seria incorreta.
01 + 02 + 04 + 08 = 15.
01) Correta. O texto no fala que as rochas submarinas deslocam-se de modo inesperado. No
entanto, uma vez que seus movimentos possuem causas naturais, sensato pensar que
eles ocorram de modo sbito. O texto usa o adjetivo violent (violento) para se referir ao
movimento das rochas.

pessoas (Since the first one on record along Syria's coast in about 2000 B.C., a few

04) Correta. Quase metade do total de cinco mil mortes foi causada em uma nica catstrofe
no oceano ndico em 2004 (Nearly half those deaths occurred in a single catastrophe in the
Indian Ocean in 2004).
08) Incorreta. O primeiro tsunami documentado foi na costa da Sria (Syrias coast).
01 + 08 = 09.
A orao "... is perhaps a bit too quiet pode ser traduzida como ... talvez um pouco quieta
demais.

trabalhadores com grandes egos frequentemente tero uma performance ruim e cometero
mais erros...).
02) Incorreta. O texto no afirma que a fama pode destruir a vida das pessoas se elas no

Pgina 22 de 34

16) Correta. A afirmao [16] coloca que ter uma carreira de sucesso depende principalmente
da crena de que voc tem a habilidade de fazer as coisas bem. O seguinte trecho justifica tal
afirmao: The researchers found that many of their subjects believed sincerely that they were
more physically talented, socially adept and skilled at their jobs than reality reflected (os
pesquisadores descobriram que muitos dos indivduos acreditavam sinceramente que eles
eram mais talentosos fisicamente, socialmente adeptos e hbeis em seus empregos do que a
realidade refletia). Em outras palavras, acreditar que hbil fator importante na conquista do
sucesso. H um outro trecho que justifica a afirmao [16]: those who appeared more
confident achieved a higher social status than their peers (aqueles que pareciam mais
confiantes alcanaram um status social mais alto do que o status de seus pares).
04 + 08 + 16 = 28.
01) Incorreta. O verbo fail significa fracassar e o substantivo mistake, erro.
02) Incorreta. Os trechos destacados esto na voz ativa e possuem, respectivamente, as
seguintes tradues: aqueles que pareciam mais confiantes alcanaram um status social
mais alto do que o status dos seus pares e os pesquisadores descobriram que muitos dos
indivduos acreditavam sinceramente que eles eram mais talentosos fisicamente.
04) Correta. Led o passado do verbo to lead (liderar), sought o passado de to seek
(procurar) e found o passado de to find (descobrir).
08) Correta. O substantivo prospect significa prospecto, esteem, estima e skilled, hbeis.
Sendo assim, as palavras destacadas possuem sentido positivo.
16) Correta. O apstrofo foi utilizado como exemplo do genitive case (caso possessivo). Em
outras palavras, a confiana pertence aos indivduos.
01 + 04 + 08 + 32 = 45.
01) Verdadeira. A conjuno correlativa not only... but also (no s... mas tambm) aditiva.
02) Falsa. Nearly significa aproximadamente.

possibilidade.
08) Verdadeira. A expresso in fact transmite nfase, pois pode ser entendida como de fato,
na verdade.
16) Falsa. Apesar de sum pode significar soma, a expresso in sum significa em resumo,
pois derivada de in summary.
32) Verdadeira. A expresso actually pode ser usada como de fato, na verdade, transmitindo
a noo de nfase.
01 + 08 + 16 = 25.

04) Falsa. O projeto no foi feito por alunos de Harvard, mas sim encabeado pelo professor
Frederic G. Cassidy.
08) Verdadeira. O texto fala que o Dicionrio de Ingls Regional Americano tambm
conhecido como DARE.
16) Verdadeira. O texto afirma que o estado do Ingls regional no est to mau quanto podem
sugerir os lamentos sobre as foras homogeneizantes da urbanizao, da grande mdia e da
Internet (the state of regional English isnt quite as bad as may suggest the laments about the
homogenizing forces of urbanization, mass media and the Internet).

project was inaugurated by Frederic G. Cassidy).

01) Verdadeira. O texto fala sobre tipos de carne que podem ser usados, tais como cortes de
qualidade como os de boi, cordeiro, vitela e costelas (fine quality cuts of beef, lamb, veal,
ribs).
02) Falsa. O texto no fala sobre o preo dos ingredientes.
04) Falsa. O texto no fala sobre a quantidade de carne para cada pessoa.
08) Verdadeira. O texto fala que a carne deve ficar por volta de uma hora sob o fogo (It takes
about 1 hour above the fire).
16) Falsa. O texto no fala sobre o tamanho certo dos cortes.
32) Verdadeira. O texto fala sobre os procedimentos ao se servir a carne.
04 + 16 + 32 = 52.
01) Falsa. O texto fala que o carvo deve estar incandescente para que a carne seja colocada
(Set the fire and be sure the coals are bright before putting on the meat). Assim, a carne
no deve ser colocada imediatamente aps o fogo ser aceso.
02) Falsa. O texto no fala que a pessoa deve virar os espetos apenas quando a carne estiver
quase pronta. Os espetos devem ser virados frequentemente (turn skewers frequently).
04) Verdadeira. A afirmao est correta, pois a receita exige que a pessoa misture a gua, o
sal e o alho. O texto diz explicitamente que a pessoa deve preparar um lquido salgado,
dissolvendo o sal na gua com o alho (make a salty liquid dissolving the salt in the water
with the garlic).
08) Falsa. O texto no fala que a pessoa deve tirar toda a gordura da carne. Na verdade, cortes
de carne com mais gordura so os melhores para grelhas base de carvo (cuts with more
fat are the best for charcoal grilling)
16) Verdadeira. O texto fala que a pessoa deve devolver a carne grelha depois de cortar
algumas fatias e servi-las. Em outras palavras, a carne deve voltar grelha quando no
estiver sendo servida, a fim de que se mantenha quente (cut slices from outside and serve.
Keep meat warm on the grill while not serving).
32) Verdadeira. O texto fala que a carne na grelha deve ser coberta com um lquido salgado
(Always baste the meat waiting on the grill with the salty liquid).
01 + 04 + 08 + 32 = 45.
