What could have prompted Lubitz to deliberately destroy the aircraft, killing everyone on board, remained the focus of investigations in Germany.

Officials said Lubitz was not known to be on any terrorism list, and his religion was not immediately known.

He had passed medical and psychological testing when he was hired in 2013, said Carsten Spohr, CEO of Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings.

While the ailment Lubitz had sought treatment for hasn’t been revealed, that he was declared unfit for work is an important detail, aviation analysts say. Pilots are required to maintain their fitness to fly and must tell their airline if they’re found unfit, CNN aviation analyst David Soucie said.

Winter's ports

   

Only two areas of the USA are mild in winter, the coasts, especially Florida and southern Californ ia, and the southern part of the Mississippi basin.

Everywhere else it gets cold, often very cold. By the end of November, many American states are often covered in snow; and although recent winters have been less cold, sport in winter usually means winter sports, or indoor sports.

By January, many people in North America will have temperatures of -30°C; not every day, of course, but such low temperatures are not rare. In Chicago and Minneapolis, the temperature can fall below -40°.

When it is very cold, especially when there is a cold wind, ____ people want to go outside, unless they have to; but on sunny winter days, winter sports are popular.

In the large flat regions in the middle of North America, ____ winter sports are snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Ice-skating is popular too; lakes and rivers freeze, and many towns and cities have free open-air skating rinks. In many places, these are flood-lit after dark, so that people can enjoy skating in the evening.

❑ TEXTO 6: Read the text and answer questions 36, 37, 38 and 39.

Germanwings and its parent company, Lufthansa, are still reeling from the disaster. Senior managers are facing a

barrage of questions about Lubitz and the company's policies.

Lubitz passed his annual pilot recertification medical examination in summer 2014, a German aviation source told CNN. An official with Lufthansa said that the exam only tests physical health, not psychological health. The company was never given any indication Lubitz was depressed, the official said, and if he went to a doctor on his own he would have been required to self-report if he had been deemed unfit to fly.

The company has already changed its rules following the crash to ensure that two crew members are in the cockpit at all times. Many other airlines have taken similar steps or been advised by authorities to do so.

More and more information is coming to light about the lives of the passengers and crew members on Flight 9525. They include Iranian sports journalists who had been working at covering a big Spanish soccer game between Barcelona and Real Madrid; a group of young students from a German town who were returning from a school trip; two successful German opera singers who had performed at a Barcelona theater; and an American mother and daughter from Virginia.

Most of the people on the flight were from Germany or Spain, officials have said. Searchers at the mountainside crash site are continuing with their precarious mission to recover the remains of the dead.

❑ TEXTO 10: Read the text and answer the questions 47 and 48.

Radiotelephone communications lack the facial cues, body language, and listening cues found in usual faceto-face situations. Communications without such cues are considered to be more difficult and challenging, requiring a higher degree of language proficiency, than face-to-face interactions. In addition, other features of radiotelephone communications make it a unique kind of communicative event, for example:

- The sound quality may be poor, with distracting sounds.

- The communicative workload of the air traffic controller or a pilot may be heavy, with a corresponding need for efficiency and brevity.
- In addition to their communicative tasks, pilots must also attend to all of the tasks involved in operating their aircraft.

Adapted from Document 9835 (ICAO, 2010, p. 2-6).
