Polar bears and climate changing

Ursos polares e mudanças climáticas

[1º PARÁGRAFO]

When we think about global warming and climate change, we usually think _________ how it is going to affect humans. However, we need to think about animals, too. Many species will be threatened _________ extinction by the end of this century if climate change is not halted. One of these is the world’s largest land predator, the polar bear. This magnificent native _________ the Arctic previously had no natural enemy apart man, but is now under threat from nature itself. Because of melting sea ice, it is likely that more polar bears will soon starve, warns a new study that discovered the large carnivores need to eat 60 percent more than anyone had realized.

[2º PARÁGRAFO]

Polar bears use floating ice as a platform to hunt seals from. They eat a large volume of food during the winter, storing enough fat under their skin to last them through the summer months. When the ice melts in the spring, many travel south to places such as Churchill, Canada, returning north when the seas freeze again, usually around October. Now, however, the winter ice is melting earlier and forming later. The bears’ store of fat runs out, and some starve to death. Other bears are drowning, because many of the ice platforms have melted, and some bears have to swim over a hundred kilometres from one ice platform to another. Due to exhaustion or stormy weather, some never make it to their destinations.

[3º PARÁGRAFO]

As a result of all these factors, the number of polar bears in the wild is decreasing dramatically. If scientists are correct, and the sea ice continues to reduce by 9% every ten years, it will not be long before the species dies out altogether.

[4º PARÁGRAFO]

There is still much disagreement over the nature and scale of the global warming problem, and how best to tackle it. However, while the debate continues among humans, animals like the polar bear are suffering and dying. For them, the issue is very real indeed.

(Title)

1    Production bottlenecks are generally considered to be temporary blockades to increased output; they can be thrown up anywhere along the course of a production process. Some are easy to identify and to remedy, while others are devilish.

2    The bottleneck that is easy to cope ___ is stationary. Work-in-process inventory piles ___ quickly behind it; clearly, little is getting through. Its cause is usually also clear – a machine has broken ___ or key workers are absent or demand has simply outstripped the clear, rated capacity of a machine – and the remedy follows easily. Such bottlenecks often occur ___ service operations, causing customer waits.

3    More subtle are bottlenecks that shift from one part of the process to another or that have no clear cause. Inventories build up in different places and at different times. Such bottlenecks creep up on management and demand more thorough investigation. Perhaps they were detected as flaws in a product’s quality caused inadvertently by one or more workers trying to keep pace with production demands that should not have been placed on them. Or, they may be caused by missing parts. They may be caused by new product startup or changes in the mix of products through the factory. In such cases the remedies are less clear-cut, and some analysis is called for.

01 – (FEPESE -2018-TESTE ABEPRO) 

According to the text we can infer that:

(A) Blockades are considered permanent production processes because they increase output.

(B) Production bottlenecks can be thrown up along the course of a production process anyplace because they are temporary blockades.

(C) Some production bottlenecks are easy to remedy and can be thrown up in specific places of a production process.

(D) Some blockades are hard to identify and easy to remedy during the course of a production process.

(E) To throw up a production bottleneck it’s needed to increase the course of a production process output.

• ANSWER (B).

- According to the text we can infer that:

(A) Blockades are considered permanent production processes because they increase output.

- Os bloqueios são considerados processos de produção permanentes porque aumentam a produção.

(B) Production bottlenecks can be thrown up along the course of a production process anyplace because they are temporary blockades.

- Os gargalos de produção podem surgir ao longo de um processo de produção em qualquer lugar, porque são bloqueios temporários.

(C) Some production bottlenecks are easy to remedy and can be thrown up in specific places of a production process.

(D) Some blockades are hard to identify and easy to remedy during the course of a production process.

- Alguns bloqueios são difíceis de identificar e fáceis de corrigir durante o processo de produção.

(E) To throw up a production bottleneck it’s needed to increase the course of a production process output.

- Ao surgir um gargalo de produção, é necessário aumentar o curso da saída de um processo de produção.
