➧ PROVA DE LÍNGUA INGLESA: CESPE-2002-CHESF-TÉCNICO DE NÍVEL A, aplicação em 26/05/2002.

➧ BANCA/ORGANIZADOR: CESPE-Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisa em Avaliação e Seleção e de Promoção de Eventos.

➧ PADRÃO / COMPOSIÇÃO DA PROVA: 05 questões.

➧ GABARITO:

01-E, 02-D, 03-A, 04-B, 05-C

➧ TEXTO I: Text LI-I – questions 01 through 03.

The priority environmental concerns in the San Francisco River Basin (SFRB) are thought to include soil loss, and contamination by organic pollutants and heavy metals, which will be systematically identified and quantified through the activities of this project. The SFRB is a very complex area, in which development has occurred in a historically haphazard and sectored manner, with relatively little integrated planning, and within a relatively weak institutional framework. This has resulted in a less than optimal use of its water resources and degradation of the coastal zone, the root causes of which will be identified during the conduct of this project. Large stretches of river have been regulated, altering natural river flows that coincided with fish spawning periods. In addition, flow modifications have affected the deposition of sediments, nutrients and other contaminants in the system, altered erosion and deposition patterns, accelerated land degradation, and modified the delivery of nutrients to the lower reaches of the basin and the coastal zone. As a consequence, significant modifications in the freshwater, estuarine and marine fauna and flora have occurred. Serious environmental problems identified in the upper sub-basin include the direct discharge of untreated municipal effluents, and industrial and mining effluents containing heavy metals and cyanides. In addition, there is widespread use of agro-chemicals, and deforestation is occurring on a large scale due to the demand for charcoal and the clearing of land for agricultural use and mining.

It can be deduced from text LI-I that

(I) three main factors will be dealt with in the mentioned project.

(II) the SFRB has been systematically cared for, in a duly identified sectored way.

(III) the use of SFRB water has been optimized for many years now.

(IV) the SFRB needs more integrated planning.

➧ TEXTO II: Text LI-II – questions 04 and 05.

Brazilian Nile, river of the national integration, old Chico, River of the Corrals. Regardless of the way it is called in the several regions it runs through, the San Francisco River is celebrating 500 years of discovery. When the navigator Americo Vespucio discovered the river in October 4th 1501, he did not know that it was the beginning of miscellaneous costumes, beliefs, people, arts and legends that are inextricably linked to the Brazilian History. After five centuries, the level of degradation that the river is found portrays the way the country administrates its natural resources that, although in abundance, may end one day.

The San Francisco River, which has an extension 2.7 thousand km2 , runs through five Brazilian states: Minas Gerais, Bahia, Pernambuco, Alagoas and Sergipe, from its spring in São Roque de Minas, down to the river mouth in the Atlantic Ocean, at the border of Sergipe and Alagoas states. There are more than 500 cities served by the river basin where 14 million people live, a population larger than that of many countries like Cuba, Sweden, Chile and Paraguay.
