If you are an artist who has complained about the oil industry and the way fossil fuel extraction is damaging the environment, you now have a chance to put your money where your mouth is. The climate change activist organization Platform London has launched Fossil Funds Free, a campaign that asks artists, photographers, playwrights, and other cultural producers to pledge to refuse sponsorship, grants, and awards from oil companies. Those who join will be able to slap a Fossil Funds Free logo on their work and exhibitions, letting collectors and visitors know that such companies do not support them.

According to the text above, judge the following items.

01. It is correct to infer that Platform London will sponsor the artists who decide to take part in the Fossil Funds Free campaign.

02. Fossil Funds Free is intended for artists with a history of formal complaints against oil companies.

03. The Fossil Funds Free campaign consists in publicly coming out as an artist who promises not to accept to be financially sponsored by or otherwise benefit from fossil fuel companies.

04. Artists who participate in the Fossil Funds Free campaign will be allowed to place stickers on their works.

05. In the text, “to put your money where your mouth is” (R.3 and 4) can be correctly replaced by to act on your outspoken beliefs, although this change results in a more formal text.

➧ TEXT II: This text refers to items from 06 through 10.

Johns Hopkins researchers were offering people $ 600 to participate in a trial study of a vaccine against the flu. For the trouble of two blood draws, the drinking of a (real or 4 placebo) foamy orange-flavored oral vaccine and the promise of another blood draw should illness strike, I was to be recompensed more than the cost of three weeks of room, board and six-hour-a-day Spanish language instruction in Antigua, Guatemala, where I had plans to study. I signed up, feeling like a lottery winner, even though the first blood draw left a foot-and-a-half-long bruise on my arm, like none the nurses had ever seen.

Internet: <http://www.nytimes.com> (adapted).

According to the text, judge the following items.

06. The bruise left on the arm of the narrator was extraordinarily big.
07. The amount to be given to participants in the trial exceeded what was necessary to pay for accommodation, meals and Spanish classes in Guatemala.
08. Researchers were paying $ 600 so that they could be subjects in the testing of the vaccine.
09. Having their blood drawn twice and drinking the actual vaccine were two of the conditions to which participants had to agree.
10. Another blood draw would be mandatory if the participant came down with the flu.

➧ TEXT: TEXT for items from 01 to 05.

Environmental auditing is essentially an environmental management tool for measuring the effects of certain activities on the environment against set criteria or standards. The relevance of this tool is growing because organisations of all kinds now recognise the importance of environmental matters and accept that their environmental performance will be scrutinised by a wide range of interested parties. These parties will use environmental auditing to investigate, understand and identify actions which help improve existing human activities, with the aim of reducing their adverse effects on the environment. An environmental auditor is the professional who will, on behalf of these parties, study an organisation's  environmental effects in a systematic and documented manner and will produce an environmental audit report based on the data provided. There are many reasons for undertaking an environmental audit, which include issues such as environmental legislation and pressure from customers.

As a matter of definition, the term “audit” has its origins in the financial sector. Auditing, in general, is a methodical examination of procedures and practices aimed at verifying whether they comply with legal requirements, internal policies and accepted practices. The expression “environmental auditing” is often used as a generic term covering a variety of management practices used to evaluate a company’s environmental performance. Strictly, it refers to checking systems and procedures against standards or regulations, as said before, but it is often used to cover the gathering and evaluation of any data with environmental relevance.

Considering the terminology used in the area, environmental auditing should not be confused with environmental impact assessment, although both are environmental management tools and the difference between them has become blurred. The former is carried out when a development is already in place, and is used to check on existing practices, assessing the environmental effects of current activities. It is correct to say that it provides a “snap-shot” of looking at what is happening at that point in time in an organisation. The latter is an anticipatory tool, that is, it takes place before an action is carried out. It is therefore an attempt to predict the impact on the environment of a future action, and to provide this information to those who make the decision on whether the project should be authorised.

(adapted).

Judge the following items concerning the facts and ideas presented in the text.

01. The product of an environmental audit is a description of an organisation's relationship with the environment which should not be taken as definitive and ultimate as the data analysed is particular to a specific point in time.

02. The difference between environmental auditing and environmental impact assessment is nowadays clear for those who work with auditing, be it in the financial field or in the environmental one.

03. The work of an environmental auditor is stopping procedures which do not conform to standards and regulations, an aim which he tries to reach by preparing reproachful reports based on facts and data.

Based on the text, judge the following items.

04. In the excerpt "it takes place before an action is carried out"(R.38 and 39), the pronoun "it" refers to "anticipatory tool"(R.38).

05. The expressions "scrutinised" (R.7), "undertaking" (R.15) and "comply with" (R.21) can be respectively replaced by probed, setting about and conform to without this harming the text's coherence and meaning.

❑ TEXTO 2:

❑ TRADUÇÃO-TEXTO 2: This text refers to the next two questions.

In the short term, the justice system can gain consistency by striving for standardization and by publishing the result of that effort. Broadly speaking, the court system resolves disputes by providing answers where the parties themselves cannot find them. It generates public trust by honouring arguments with new solutions, and this fundamental task must be supported by proportional and adequate use of technology, never reduced. In this sense, judicial organizations need to pay serious attention to their information technology policies to guarantee that justice is served. A curto prazo, o sistema judicial pode ganhar consistência ao lutar pela padronização e ao publicar o resultado desse esforço. Em termos gerais, o sistema judicial resolve litígios fornecendo respostas onde as próprias partes não as conseguem encontrar. Gera confiança pública ao honrar argumentos com novas soluções, e esta tarefa fundamental deve ser apoiada pelo uso proporcional e adequado da tecnologia, nunca reduzida. Neste sentido, as organizações judiciais precisam prestar muita atenção às suas políticas de tecnologia da informação para garantir que a justiça seja feita.

Public guidelines for frequently occurring decisions can fulfil the need for consistency. Automating the guidelines can be a next step. Public guidelines can reduce the number of points in dispute, and perhaps even entire disputes, to be put before the judge. Thus, increasing consistency also shortens turnaround time. As diretrizes públicas para decisões que ocorrem frequentemente podem satisfazer a necessidade de consistência. Automatizar as diretrizes pode ser o próximo passo. As diretrizes públicas podem reduzir o número de pontos em litígio, e talvez até de litígios inteiros, a serem apresentados ao juiz. Assim, aumentar a consistência também reduz o tempo de resposta.

There is more to this than just implementing technology, however. Developing routines and public guidelines require active work on the part of the judges and their staff in the courts. Judiciaries need to be responsible for their own performance as administrators of justice. No entanto, há mais nisso do que apenas implementar tecnologia. O desenvolvimento de rotinas e orientações públicas exige um trabalho ativo por parte dos juízes e dos seus funcionários nos tribunais. Os órgãos judiciais precisam ser responsáveis pelo seu próprio desempenho como administradores da justiça.

➧ PROVA DE LÍNGUA INGLESA: CESPE-CEBRASPE-2015-DEPEN-AGENTE PENITENCIÁRIO, aplicação em 28/06/2015.

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

➧ GABARITO:

01-C, 02-C, 03-E, 04-C, 05-E

06-C, 07-C, 08-E, 09-E, 10-C

➧ TEXT I:

Boots, belts, glasses, purses and other items land in a plastic tray. It’s a procedure frequent flyers are painfully familiar with, one of those things that are deemed necessary to get from point A to point B by air. “People increasingly expect to be treated like cattle at airports,” says the executive director of a human rights group. “What we have seen over the years is a large level of security theatre, and more worryingly ridiculous technologies being deployed with little thought.”

But security experts believe the ever-evolving technologies are justified. The senior vice president of a leading security screening and imaging firm says that security technology and screening methods simply must continue “to adapt to changing threats.”

Airport security is one of the least popular aspects of travel, according to a passenger survey conducted by the 16 International Air Transport Association (IATA). Airports have realised this, and some are now making efforts to make the experience of being touched, scanned and having your suitcase 19 rummaged through as painless as possible, while maintaining the same level of scrutiny.

It also didn’t take long for people to wonder just how  much the scanners were actually seeing, especially after the media published a picture of the head of the Transportation Security Administration’s research lab which showed her being scanned and appearing rather nude. It was an eye-opener for many, and privacy groups took up the cause. Soon officials acknowledged that the technology had to be tuned down a bit 28 in the USA and several other countries.

Internet:(adapted).

According to the previous text, judge the following items.

01. Some airports are concerned with easing distress passengers have to go through during inspection.

02. People who regularly travel by air are not surprised by the security procedures.

03. A member of a human rights group and a representative of a security firm have similar points of view.

04. The word ‘changing’ (R.13) conveys the idea that threats are constantly evolving.

➧ TEXT II:

El Niño (The boy) is mostly likely to continue during the summer of 2015, according to new estimates for the Northern Hemisphere from the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center. What can you expect in El Niño conditions? Warmer sea-surfaces that could send floods to South America, potentially impacting farmers and confounding food production, among other things.

Internet: (adapted).

According to the text,

05. the effects of El Niño phenomena are sure to reach South America before they have impact on the Northern Hemisphere.

➧ TEXT III:

With Ebola nearly stamped out in West Africa, vaccine trials will probably fail to provide enough useful data on how well they protect people against the deadly virus, the WHO (World Health Organization) said on Tuesday.

“The best news is we are going to zero cases, there is absolutely no doubt about that,” said WHO researcher J. Kieny. 7 But two experimental Ebola vaccines being tested on volunteers may not yield sufficient data on efficacy as case numbers fall, Kieny said.

“It is not clear whether it will be possible to have even a hint of efficacy from these two vaccines,” she said, noting that they already had been proven safe. “To have efficacy we must see if people are actually protected, as the number of cases is going down it is not clear whether there will be a strong robust answer to this question at the end of epidemic,” she said.

The WHO, a United Nations agency, hosted a two-day experts’ meeting on Ebola research and development after the 19 world’s largest epidemic that has killed more than 11,000 since December 2013.

Consultations will be held in coming months on issues including developing protocols, data sharing and storing biological material including the virus and blood serum of patients, Kieny said.

Internet: (adapted).

Based on the previous text, judge the following items.

06. The word ‘robust’ (R.15) can be correctly replaced by effective without this bringing any change of meaning to the sentence.

07. The world had never witnessed an ebola epidemic of such magnitude as the one mentioned in the text.

08. The WHO mentioned has no intention of keeping biological material related to the disease.

09. The West region of Africa is totally free from the Ebola virus.

10. Even though the vaccines could be tested, the results may not be useful to assess their efficacy.
