❑ ESTRUTURA-PROVA:
• 8 TFQs (True False Questions)

PROVA, TRADUÇÃO, GABARITO & MUITO VOCABULÁRIO

 TEXTO:



 TRADUÇÃO - TEXTO 1:
 QUESTIONÁRIOAbout ideas stated in the text above and the words used in it, judge the following items. Sobre as ideias expressas no texto acima e as palavras nele utilizadas, julgue os itens a seguir.

1 Extremely cold temperatures in Texas created problems for the distribution of energy in the state. Temperaturas extremamente baixas no Texas criaram problemas para a distribuição de energia no estado. (ERRADO)
O texto não MENCIONA "problems for the distribution of energy".
O texto relata que todas as fontes de energia têm baixo desempenho no frio congelante porque tais fontes não foram projetadas para lidar com essas condições incomuns, conforme no trecho (2º parágrafo):
"[...] “The extreme cold is causing the entire system to freeze up,” said Jason Bordoff, director of Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy. “All sources of energy are underperforming in the extreme cold because they’re not designed to handle these unusual conditions.”"
(“O frio extremo está fazendo com que todo o sistema congele”, disse Jason Bordoff, diretor do Centro de Política Energética Global da Universidade de Columbia. “Todas as fontes de energia têm baixo desempenho no frio extremo porque não foram projetadas para lidar com essas condições incomuns.”)
 
2 In the last paragraph of the text, “That” refers to the decision by Texas to isolate its energy grid from the rest of the country. No último parágrafo do texto, That refere-se à decisão do Texas de isolar sua rede de energia do resto do país. (CORRETA)
➭ THAT refere-se ao isolamento do sistema elétrico do Texas dos demais estados, conforme o trecho do penúltimo parágrafo:
➭ [...] The energy crisis in Texas raises also questions about the nature of the state’s deregulated and decentralized electric grid. Unlike other states, Texas has made a conscious decision to isolate its grid from the rest of the country.
(A crise de energia no Texas também levanta questões sobre a natureza da rede elétrica desregulamentada e descentralizada do estado. Ao contrário de outros estados, o Texas tomou uma decisão consciente de isolar sua rede elétrica do resto do país.)
[ ...] That means that when things are running smoothly, Texas can’t export excess power to neighboring states. And in the current crisis, it can’t import power either.
(Isso significa que, quando as coisas estão indo bem, o Texas não pode exportar o excesso de energia para os estados vizinhos. E na crise atual, também não pode importar energia.)

3 Despite the cold temperatures, energy production in Texas continued unimpeded. Apesar das baixas temperaturas, a produção de energia no Texas continuou sem impedimentos. (ERRADO)
 TRECHO QUE JUSTIFICA:
• "[...] At the same time, natural gas, coal, wind and nuclear facilities in Texas have been knocked offline by the unthinkably low temperatures."
•  Ao mesmo tempo, gás natural, carvão, instalações eólicas e nucleares no Texas foram desligadas devido as inimagináveis baixas temperaturas.

TO KNOCK OFF | phrasal verb - TO STOP WORKING or doing something - PARAR DE FUNCIONAR, PARAR DE FAZER ALGO.

4 Changes in energy production in Texas are having an impact across the United StatesMudanças na produção de energia no Texas estão tendo impacto em cada parte dos Estados Unidos. (CORRETO)
 TRECHO QUE JUSTIFICA:
• "[...] The ripple effects are being felt around the nation."
•  Os efeitos cascata estão sendo sentidos em MUITAS PARTES da nação.
➭ VOCABULARY:
- No contexto, as expressões "ACROSS THE UNITED STATES"(em cada parte dos EUA) e "AROUND THE NATION" (em muitas lugares da nação) são intercambiáveis, transmitem a mesma ideia.
- ACROSS | synonym - THROUGHOUT – in every part of a place, group of people, etc.
Her family is scattered across the country– Sua família está espalhada em cada parte do país. [Oxford Dictionary]
AROUND | synonym - ABOUT – in many places or parts of an area.
There are over 40 radio stations dotted around the country– Existem mais de 40 estações de rádio espalhadas em muitas partes do país. [Longman Dictionary]
 
5 There are other states, like Florida, that produce energy on a level similar to that of Texas.  Existem outros estados, como a Flórida, que produzem energia em um nível semelhante ao do Texas. (ERRADO)
 TRECHO QUE JUSTIFICA:
• "[...] Texas produces more electricity than any other US state — generating almost twice as much as Florida, the next-closest, according to federal statistics."
•  O Texas produz mais eletricidade do que qualquer outro estado dos EUA – gerando quase o dobro da Flórida, o segundo mais próximo, de acordo com estatísticas federais.

➭ VOCABULARY:
- HALF/TWICE etc AS MUCH AS | phrase - Frase usada para COMPARAR DUAS QUANTIAS e dizer quanto mais uma quantia é do que a outra.
- A house in London costs half as much again as a house in Edinburgh. – Uma casa em Londres custa metade do preço de uma casa em Edimburgo. [https://www.macmillandictionary.com]

6 There are places in the world where wind power works well in freezing temperatures. Existem lugares no mundo onde a energia eólica funciona bem em temperaturas congelantes. (CORRETO)
 TRECHO QUE JUSTIFICA:
• "[...] Even though other places with colder weather (like Iowa and Denmark) rely on wind for even larger shares of power, experts said the turbines in Texas were not winterized for the unexpected freeze"
•  Embora outros lugares com clima mais frio (como Iowa e Dinamarca) dependam do vento para uma parcela ainda maior de energia, especialistas disseram que as turbinas no Texas não foram PREPARADOS para o inverno, devido ao congelamento inesperado.
➭ VOCABULARY:
EVEN THOUGH | despite the fact that - Frase usada para CONECTAR IDEIAS DIFERENTES e ENFATIZAR CONTRARIEDADE.
- I like her, even though she can be annoying at times. – Eu gosto dela, embora ela possa ser irritante às vezes. [www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com]
TO RELY ON | phrasal verb - TO NEED or DEPEND ON somebody/something.
- The industry relies on the price of raw materials remaining low.. – A indústria depende do baixo preço das matérias -primas. [www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com]
TO WINTERIZE | verb - TO PREPARE something so that it can be lived in or used in winter.
- The vehicles have been winterized to endure the cold Alaskan weather. – Os veículos foram preparados para o inverno para suportar o clima frio do Alasca. [https://dictionary.cambridge.org/]

7 In “Natural gas and coal-fired power plants need water to stay online. Yet those water facilities froze in the cold temperatures and others lost access to the electricity they require to operate”, it is possible to substitute “Yet” for Even so without changing the meaning of the sentence. (CORRETO)
➭ Em contexto de contraponto ou contraste de ideias, "YET, EVEN SO, DESPITE THAT, HOWEVER, NEVERTHELESS" são intercambiáveis entre si.

8 The text points to the lack of wind as the primary cause for a dip in the production of wind energy during the period described. O texto aponta a falta de vento como a principal causa da queda na produção de energia eólica no período descrito. (ERRADO)
 TRECHO QUE JUSTIFICA:
• "[...] At the same time, natural gas, coal, wind and nuclear facilities in Texas have been knocked offline by the unthinkably low temperatures."
•  Ao mesmo tempo, gás natural, carvão, instalações eólicas e nucleares no Texas foram desligadas devido as inimagináveis baixas temperaturas.

 TRADUÇÃO - TEXTO 2:

There is ample evidence that reading not only strengthens second language vocabulary, but also expands it as readers meet words, or the same word, in different contexts.
Há ampla evidência de que a leitura não só fortalece o vocabulário da segunda língua, mas também o expande à medida que os leitores encontram palavras, ou a mesma palavra, em diferentes contextos.
After all, that is the way lexical vocabulary is acquired in real life, through hearing it in our first languages.
Afinal, é assim que o vocabulário lexical é adquirido na vida real, ouvindo-o nas nossas primeiras línguas.
Apart from learning vocabulary, learners also learn new structures, which can form a strong scaffolding both for learning other new structures and introducing grammatical items to a class.
Além de aprender vocabulário, os alunos também aprendem novas estruturas, que podem formar uma base sólida tanto para aprender outras novas estruturas quanto para introduzir itens gramaticais em uma aula.
In listening to each other read, discuss points in groups, debate, or answer and their rationale, second language learners will sharpen both listening and speaking skills.
Ao ouvir uns aos outros lerem, discutirem pontos em grupos, debaterem ou responderem e suas justificativas, os alunos de uma segunda língua irão aprimorar as habilidades de escuta e fala.
There is no magic bullet, no single explanation for what teachers can do to ensure that their students learn to read a second or foreign language.
Não existe uma solução mágica, nem uma explicação única sobre o que os professores podem fazer para garantir que os seus alunos aprendam a ler uma segunda língua ou uma língua estrangeira.
Practice and plenty of it may be the only way out.
Praticar e praticar bastante pode ser a única saída.

 TEXTO 3Text 3A1-III

For Stephen Krashen, the disruption to traditional education during Covid-19 may reveal some unexpected benefits. How teachers and parents can harness the opportunity to teach language — including heritage languages — during remote learning? Many parents and teachers are understandably anxious about remote learning, as instruction has become less traditional. However, Krashen notes, “We do not acquire language by study, or by speaking or writing. We acquire in only one way: by understanding what we hear or read. What we call ‘comprehensible input.’ The ability to produce language is the result of getting the right kind of input.” With less focus on traditional language education, i.e., practicing memorized rules and grammar through speaking until they become automatic, students are free to acquire language in a more effective way. According to Stephen Krashen’s theory of language acquisition, comprehensible input is language that can be understood by listeners even if they don’t fully comprehend all of the vocabulary and grammar in use. Input is essential to acquisition, as it informs learners’ subconscious understanding of a language. While online education may isolate students at home, it shouldn’t negatively impact language learning. “We don’t need massive amounts of interaction to acquire language. We need massive amounts of input,” says Krashen.

 TEXTO 4Text 3A2-I

“Millions of children, every year, start school excited about what they will learn, but quickly become disillusioned when they get the idea they are not as ‘smart’ as others,” writes Jo Boaler. That’s because parents and teachers inadvertently give out the message that talent is inborn — you either have it or you don’t. As a math professor, Boaler has seen this firsthand. Many young adults enter her class anxious about math, and their fear about learning impacts their ability to learn. “The myth that our brains are fixed and that we simply don’t have the aptitude for certain topics is not only scientifically inaccurate; it is omnipresent and negatively impacts not only education, but many other events in our everyday lives,” she writes. Even though the science of neuroplasticity — how our brains change in response to learning — suggests learning can take place at any age, this news has not made it into classrooms, she argues. Some of our misguided visions of talent have led to racist and sexist attitudes, she writes. For example, many girls get the message early on that math is for boys and that boys are better at it, interfering with their ability to succeed and leading to gender disparities in fields of study related to math. Similarly, people of color may also have to overcome stereotypes about fixed intelligence in order to thrive. How understanding your brain can help you learn.

 TEXTO 5Text 3A2-II.

It was Maria’s first day at school, her first week in the United States. Her middle school in San Francisco was the biggest building she’d ever seen. It was bigger than the entire Best Buy store she’d walked through in awe on her first day in the city. Eventually, Maria found her way to class, a special setting for Spanish-speaking newcomers. There she would practice English words for colors and numbers, learn how to introduce herself and how to say thank you. By eighth grade she was moved into mainstream classes, where she struggled. It didn’t help that her math teacher started each class by saying, “Okay, my little dummies.” He spoke really fast. Maria never raised her hand in his class. One day Maria stopped by the administrative office, looking for someone to help her with multiplication. She took her spot in line behind a middle-aged woman who chatted with her in Spanish as they waited. Maria said school was really hard for her. The woman told her not to worry. “Latinas usually don’t finish high school,” she said. “They go to work or raise kids.” The woman was right, statistically speaking, and Maria’s middle-school experience all but ensured she’d join the 52 percent of foreign-born Latinos who drop out of high school. She graduated from eighth grade without learning to speak English. She had a hard time writing in Spanish and didn’t know how to multiply.
Everything you’ve heard about failing schools is wrong.

Why Joe Biden Saw Mixed Success With Latinos
Por que Joe Biden obteve sucesso misto com os latinos
[1º PARÁGRAFO]
Democrats' long-term hopes for electoral success have long cited the growing Latino population in the country.
As  esperanças de sucesso eleitoral a longo prazo dos democratas. há muito citam a crescente população latina no país.
But former Vice President Joe Biden's performance in heavily Latino areas of key states has concerned members of his party — and may have cost him Electoral College votes, according to groups and activists working to mobilize Latino voters.
Mas o desempenho do ex vice-presidente Joe Biden em áreas fortemente latinas de estados-chave preocupou os membros do seu partido – e pode ter-lhe custado votos no Colégio Eleitoral, de acordo com grupos e ativistas que trabalham para mobilizar os eleitores latinos.
[2º PARÁGRAFO]
Nationally, Biden appears to have gotten support from roughly twice as many Latino voters as President Trump, but that support looked very different depending on where you looked in three key states with large Latino populations.
A nível nacional, Biden parece ter obtido o apoio de cerca de duas vezes mais eleitores latinos do que o presidente Trump, mas esse apoio parecia muito diferente dependendo de onde se olhasse em três estados-chave com grandes populações latinas.
[3º PARÁGRAFO]
Democrats were pleased with their performance in Arizona, where The Associated Press awarded Biden the state's 11 electoral votes early Wednesday morning, while anxiety ran high about the results in Florida, where President Trump's strength with conservative Cuban American voters helped secure him that state's 29 electoral votes, according to AP.
Os democratas ficaram satisfeitos com seu desempenho no Arizona, onde a Associated Press concedeu a Biden os 11 votos eleitorais do estado na manhã de quarta-feira, enquanto a ansiedade aumentou com os resultados na Flórida, onde a força do presidente Trump com os eleitores conservadores cubano-americanos ajudou a garantir-lhe os 29 votos eleitorais daquele estado. votos, segundo a AP.
And while Texas was a long shot for Biden, Democrats had seen opportunity in the explosive growth in the state's Latino population.
E embora o Texas fosse um tiro no escuro para Biden, os democratas viram uma oportunidade no crescimento explosivo da população latina do estado.
[4º PARÁGRAFO]
During a post-election virtual press conference on Wednesday, leaders from groups aimed at mobilizing Latino voters expressed frustration that the votes of Latinos were not more aggressively pursued, even as they cheered record levels of turnout among Latinos in some key states.
Durante uma conferência de imprensa virtual pós-eleitoral na quarta-feira, líderes de grupos destinados a mobilizar os eleitores latinos expressaram frustração pelo facto de os votos dos latinos não terem sido perseguidos de forma mais agressiva, ao mesmo tempo que aplaudiram níveis recorde de participação entre os latinos em alguns estados importantes.

  • Democrats were pleased with their performance in Arizona, where The Associated Press awarded Biden the state's 11 electoral votes early Wednesday morning, while anxiety ran high about the results in Florida, where President Trump's strength with conservative Cuban American voters helped secure him that state's 29 electoral votes, according to AP.

  • "electoral votes" → "Delegados".
>>COMO FUNCIONA O "ELECTORAL COLLEGE" (COLÉGIO ELEITORAL( NOS EUA:
  • De acordo com a sua população, cada estado tem um número específico de "DELEGADOS" que representam os eleitores daquele estado.
  • Por exemplo, a Califórnia, o estado mais populoso, possui 54 delegados, o Texas possui 40 delegados, a Flórida 30, Nova York 28 e assim por diante.
  • Os estados menos populosos (mínimo de 3 delegados) são: Wyoming , Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota.
  • O vencedor popular, dentro do estado, leva todos os delegados (não os votos dos delegados)  daquele estado, é o que se chama "THE WINNER TAKES ALL" (O GANHADOR LEVA TUDO).
  • No total são 538 delegados em jogo, 
  • O objetivo é alcançar a maioria de delegados, ou seja, o número mágico é 270 delegados, para ganhar a presidência.
  • Nem sempre ganha a eleição quem tem o número de votos. Isso já aconteceu cinco vezes na história eleitoral americana, sendo que a última foi na eleição de 2016, onde a Democrata Hillary Clinton teve quase 3 milhões de votos diretos a mais do que o Repubicano Donald Trump, no entanto, Hillary conquistou somente 232 delegados contra 306 do Trump.
  • Tem também os chamados estados "SWING STATES"(estados oscilantes, estados pêndulos) que são aqueles estados que mudam de lado nas eleições de vez em quando: Ohio, Wiscosin, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia.
  • "TOOTH AND NAIL" - "TOOTH AND NAIL" - disputa a unha, acirrada.
(B) there is over a dozen electoral colleges in the state of Arizona.
há mais de uma dúzia de colégios eleitorais no estado do Arizona.
(C) Florida voters were anxious to vote for Biden.
Os eleitores da Flórida estavam ansiosos para votar em Biden.
(D) Latino voters are not considered aggressive people in some states of the US anymore.
Os eleitores latinos não são mais considerados pessoas agressivas em alguns estados dos EUA.
(E) Biden probably has more voters in Florida than Trump.
Biden provavelmente tem mais eleitores na Flórida do que Trump.

Text 3A03-III

The World’s Largest Tropical Wetland Has Become an Inferno This year, roughly a quarter of the vast Pantanal wetland in Brazil, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, has burned in wildfires worsened by climate change. What happens to a rich and unique biome when so much is destroyed? The unprecedented fires in the wetland have attracted less attention than blazes in Australia, the Western United States and the Amazon, its celebrity sibling to the north. But while the Pantanal is not a global household name, tourists in the know flock there because it is home to exceptionally high concentrations of breathtaking wildlife: Jaguars, tapirs, endangered giant otters and bright blue hyacinth macaws. Like a vast tub, the wetland swells with water during the rainy season and empties out during the dry months. Fittingly, this rhythm has a name that evokes a beating heart: the flood pulse. The wetland, which is larger than Greece and stretches over parts of Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia, also offers unseen gifts to a vast swath of South America by regulating the water cycle upon which life depends. Its countless swamps, lagoons and tributaries purify water and help prevent floods and droughts. They also store untold amounts of carbon, helping to stabilize the climate. For centuries, ranchers have used fire to clear fields and new land. But this year, drought worsened by climate change turned the wetlands into a tinderbox and the fires raged out of control.
