The following text refers to questions 12 and 13.
My fellow citizens:
I stand here today humbled __( I )__ the task before us, grateful __( II )__ the trust you have bestowed, mindful __( III )__ the sacrifices borne by our
ancestors. I thank President Bush __( IV )__ his service __( V )__ our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown __( VI )__ this transition.
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often, the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds
and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebearers, and true to our founding documents.
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.
That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare
the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.
The prepositions that properly fill in blanks I, II, III, IV, V and VI, in the text, are
a) on, at, through, by, to and for.
b) by, for, of, for, to and throughout.
c) at, from, by, over, on and about.
d) in, to, on, in, to and during.
e) for, in, with, at, into and across.
Questão nº 13
According to the part of Barack Obama’s inaugural speech,
a) forty-four people have been prosperous and peaceful in America in spite of raging storms.
b) the new generation of Americans have been born in the USA feeling responsible for hatred and violence.
c) the American nation is currently at war in far-fetched places against the collective failure.
d) the people in high office are humble and grateful. Nobody can blame Bush for this smooth transition.
e) American society is economically affected nowadays due to some people’s covetousness and lack of liability.
The following text refers to questions 14 to 16.
MOVIES
By Ramin Setoodeh
Julia Roberts’s fans have always had a theory about __( I )__. When her hair is red and long and curly, as it was in “Pretty Woman” and “My Best Friend’s Wedding,” she’s at her most delicious. When her hair is short (“Conspiracy Theory,” “Stepmom”)
she’s playing someone serious, and the movie is seriously mediocre. When her hair is short and blonde and looks as though it were inspired by
Eleanor Roosevelt (“Charlie Wilson’s War”), get ready to hit the DVD eject button. In “Duplicity,” a new romantic spy thriller costarring Clive Owen, Roberts is poised to make her triumphant return after essentially taking five years off to raise her three children. No, the studio hasn’t let us see “Duplicity” yet, but everything you need to know is on display in the trailer, starting with the red hair. So, too, is the wicked tongue from “Erin Brockovich” and, almost as important, that infectious, giddy laugh that booms so loudly, it comes with its own echo.
The possessive form that properly fills in the blank I, in the text, is
a) Roberts, Julia’s movies.
b) Julia’s movies Roberts.
c) Julia Roberts’s movies.
d) movie of Julia Roberts.
e) Julia Robert’s movies.
Questão nº 15
According to the article, in her most recent movie,
a) Julia Roberts’s is likely to be back to her old shape, including her best hair style and her widely known smile.
b) Julia Roberts’s plays a red-haired woman who is poisoned by someone called Erin Brockovich.
c) Julia Roberts’s laughs loudly throughout the story after funny things that happen.
d) Julia Roberts’s returns after watching “Duplicity” with her three children in the studio.
e) Julia Roberts’s has short brown hair which will soon be dyed red towards the end of the story.
Questão nº 16
Choose the sentence where the word giddy is being used with the same meaning as in the text.
a) The new office block was a real giddy.
b) I felt giddy by her betrayal.
c) Her report was giddy in its criticism of the management.
d) Diana was giddy with love.
e) It was very giddy of you not to offer him a lift.
The following text refers to questions 17 and 18.
———————————————————————————
Daughter of Brazil’s most famous environmentalist, Elenira Mendes pays tribute to
her father, 20 years after an assassination that shocked and engaged the world.
———————————————————————————
In December 1988, a year after Chico Mendes came top in the UNEP’s Global 500 Roll of Honour, a prize awarded to environmental activists, he was killed in cold blood by hitmen hired by Darli Alves, a farmer who’d already lost his political and moral battle against the rubber-tapper. The crime shocked the world, and left an indelible scar on Elenira, the four
year-old child who held her father in her arms as he took his last breath.
But __( I )__ fear and pain could have driven Elenira away from her father’s cause, she persevered. Today she continues his mission to make people more aware of environmental issues, as she explained during her last trip to London at the beginning of January, __( II )__ she took part in a lecture at the Royal Society for Arts and Technology.
Chico Mendes, twenty years later
“My father became a figurehead for the Brazilian environmental movement and his work made a real impact, improving conditions for rubber-tappers
and helping to set up reservations for them. But I feel that he’d still have his work cut out for him today; __( III )__ the advances made by the Lula
administration, safeguarding the Amazon continues to be an enormous challenge. __( IV )__, take the reservation named after my father, in Xapuri, which has been overtaken by farmers. I’m also worried about the way in which the people of the rainforest are being tempted into taking up cattle-herding because the profits are a lot more immediate…”
The connectors that appropriately fill in blanks I, II, III and IV, in the text, are
a) however, neither, also and in spite of.
b) whom, whether, if and furthermore.
c) whilst, when, despite and for example.
d) then, while, therefore and nevertheless.
e) when, after, although and even so.
Questão nº 18
The FALSE statement, according to the text, is:
a) raising cows is currently good business in the rainforest.
b) Chico Mendes wouldn’t make much difference today since the Brazilian environment movement nowadays is really big.
c) The Chico Mendes reservation is in danger right now due to farmers’ invasions.
d) these days Elenira is carrying on her father’s work although she was too young when Mr. Mendes died.
e) the rubber-tappers are in need of better work conditions and more reservations to be able to do a good job.
