❑ TEXTO 1: Read the following text and answer the
questions from 26 to 35: [1º PARÁGRAFO]In our modern world, there are many factors
that place the wellbeing of the planet in jeopardy. Em nosso mundo moderno, há muitos fatores que colocam o bem-estar do planeta em risco[em perigo].
While some people have the opinion
that environmental problems are just a natural occurrence, others believe that human beings
have a huge impact on the environment. Enquanto algumas pessoas têm a opinião de que os problemas ambientais são apenas uma ocorrência natural, outros acreditam que os seres humanos têm um enorme impacto sobre o ambiente.
Regardless of your viewpoint, take into
consideration the following factors that place
our environment as well as the planet Earth in
danger. Independentemente do seu ponto de vista, leve em consideração os seguintes fatores que colocam nosso meio ambiente e o planeta Terra em perigo.
[2º PARÁGRAFO]Global warming or climate change is a major
contributing factor to environmental damage.O aquecimento global, ou mudança climática, é um fator importante que contribui para os danos ambientais.
Because of global warming, we have seen an
increase in melting ice caps, a rise in sea levels,
and the formation of new weather patterns. Devido ao aquecimento global, temos observado um aumento no derretimento das calotas polares, uma elevação do nível do mar e a formação de novos padrões climáticos.
These weather patterns have caused stronger
storms, droughts, and flooding in places that
they formerly did not occur. Esses padrões climáticos têm causado tempestades mais intensas, secas e inundações em locais onde antes não ocorriam.
[3º PARÁGRAFO]Air pollution is primarily caused as a result of
excessive and unregulated emissions of carbon dioxide into the air. A poluição do ar é causada principalmente por emissões excessivas e desregulamentadas de dióxido de carbono.
Pollutants mostly emerge
from the burning of fossil fuels in addition to
chemicals, toxic substances, and improper
waste disposal. Os poluentes são gerados principalmente pela queima de combustíveis fósseis, além de produtos químicos, substâncias tóxicas e descarte inadequado de resíduos.
Air pollutants are absorbed into
the atmosphere, and they can cause smog, a
combination of smoke and fog, in valleys as
well as produce acidic precipitation in areas far
away from the pollution source. Os poluentes atmosféricos são absorvidos pela atmosfera e podem causar "um nevoeiro", uma combinação de fumaça e neblina, em vales, bem como produzir precipitação ácida em áreas distantes da fonte de poluição.
[4º PARÁGRAFO]In many areas, people and local governments
do not sustainably use their natural resources. Em muitas áreas, as pessoas e os governos locais não usam seus recursos naturais de forma sustentável.
Mining for natural gases, deforestation, and
even improper use of water resources can have
tremendous effects on the environment. A mineração de gases naturais, o desmatamento e até mesmo o uso indevido dos recursos hídricos podem ter efeitos tremendos sobre o meio ambiente.
While
these strategies often attempt to boost local
economies, their effects can lead to oil spills,
interrupted animal habitats, and droughts. Embora essas estratégias muitas vezes tentem impulsionar as economias locais, seus efeitos podem levar a derrames de petróleo, habitats animais interrompidos e secas.
[5º PARÁGRAFO]Ultimately, the effects of the modern world on
the environment can lead to many problems. Em última análise, os efeitos do mundo moderno sobre o meio ambiente podem levar a muitos problemas.
Human beings need to consider the
repercussions of their actions, trying to reduce,
reuse, and recycle materials while establishing
environmentally sustainable habits. Os seres humanos precisam considerar as repercussões de suas ações, buscando reduzir, reutilizar e reciclar materiais, ao mesmo tempo em que estabelecem hábitos ambientalmente sustentáveis.
If
measures are not taken to protect the
environment, we can potentially witness the
extinction of more endangered species,
worldwide pollution, and a completely
uninhabitable planet. Se medidas não forem tomadas para proteger o meio ambiente, podemos potencialmente testemunhar a extinção de mais espécies ameaçadas, poluição global e um planeta completamente inabitável.
