Grigory Rasputin: was poisoned, shot four times, and beaten until he finally died from drowning
Rasputin has been tied in the immortality of history to the ill-fated Romanov family. Some may even say that he was the cause of their destruction. Whatever you may think about him: powerful mystic or drunken fruitcake, he wormed his way into the heart of the imperial family and he just didn't want to go. The legends surrounding the death of Rasputin are perhaps even more mysterious and bizarre than his life.
The first attempt on Rasputin's life failed; on June 29, 1914, after either just receiving a telegram or exiting church, he was attacked suddenly by Khionia Guseva, a former prostitute. The woman thrust a knife into Rasputin's abdomen, and his entrails hung out of what seemed like a mortal wound. Convinced of her success, Guseva supposedly screamed, "I have killed the antichrist!". After intensive surgery, however, Rasputin recovered. It was said of his survival that "the soul of this cursed muzhik was sewn on his body”.
On December 16, 1916, having decided that Rasputin's influence over the Tsaritsa had made him a far-too-dangerous threat to the empire, a group of nobles, led by Prince Felix Yusupov and the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich and politician Vladimir Purishkevich, apparently lured Rasputin to the Yusupovs' Moika Palace basement, where they served him cakes and red wine laced with a massive amount of cyanide.
According to legend, Rasputin was unaffected, although Maklakov had supplied enough poison to kill five men. Determined to finish the job, Yusupov became anxious about the possibility that Rasputin might live until the morning, leaving the conspirators no time to conceal his body. Yusupov ran upstairs to consult the others and then came back down to shoot Rasputin through the back with a revolver. Rasputin fell, and the company left the palace for a while. Yusupov went to check up on the body. Suddenly, Rasputin opened his eyes and lunged at him. When he grabbed Prince Yusupov he ominously whispered in Yusupov's ear "you bad boy" and attempted to escape. Yusopov and his co-conspirators chased Rasputin out into the yard, shooting him two more times and beating him with a rubber club. To ensure he didn't rouse again, the men tied Rasputin in a blanket and dumped his body into the Neva River. His body was found with his right arm outstretched, presumably to make the sign of the cross, indicating that he was still alive when he hit the water and managed to partially free himself. An autopsy established that the cause of death was drowning. His arms were found in an upright position, as if he had tried to claw his way out from under the ice (the Neva Riva freezes between November 25 and December 5, and the ice is gone only by mid-April). It was found that he had indeed been poisoned, and that the poison alone should have been enough to kill him.

21 – Considerando o texto “Die-Hard in History”, é correto afirmar:
(001) Rasputin era membro da família Romanov.
(002) O assassinato de Rasputin deu-se a mando da Tsaritsa.
(004) A morte de Rasputin deu-se entre os dias 25 de novembro e 5 de dezembro.
(008) Rasputin foi encontrado com vida após ser lançado no rio Neva.
(016) Rasputin ingeriu veneno suficiente para matar cinco pessoas.
inseparável de seu corpo.
• Gabarito 16 (= 16) (001) ❌Rasputin era membro da família Romanov.
🔹O texto diz que Rasputin estava ligado à família Romanov, mas não era membro, e sim um influente místico que se aproximou da Tsaritsa.
(002) ❌O assassinato de Rasputin deu-se a mando da Tsaritsa.
🔹Pelo contrário, ele foi morto justamente porque sua influência sobre a Tsaritsa era vista como perigosa para o império. Quem planejou o assassinato foram nobres (Yusupov, Pavlovich e Purishkevich).
(004) ❌A morte de Rasputin deu-se entre os dias 25 de novembro e 5 de dezembro.
🔹O texto é claro: ele foi morto em 16 de dezembro de 1916. A referência às datas de 25 de novembro a 5 de dezembro é apenas sobre o período em que o rio Neva congela, não sobre a data da morte.
(008) ❌Rasputin foi encontrado com vida após ser lançado no rio Neva.
🔹Ele foi encontrado morto, mas a posição de seus braços sugeria que ainda estava vivo quando entrou na água e tentou escapar. Ou seja, não foi encontrado vivo.
(016) ✅Rasputin ingeriu veneno suficiente para matar cinco pessoas.
🔹VERDADEIRO - O texto afirma claramente:
🔹"[...] Maklakov had supplied enough poison to kill five men."
🔹Maklakov havia fornecido veneno suficiente para matar cinco homens.
📌 Expressões destacadas:
🔹"had supplied" → havia fornecido / tinha fornecido (passado perfeito)
🔹"enough poison" → veneno suficiente.
🔹"to kill five men" → para matar cinco homens (finalidade / consequência).
22. Baseado no texto “Die-Hard in History”, é correto afirmar:
(001) Rasputin, segundo a lenda, é imortal.
(002) Rasputin foi envenenado, atingido por tiros, espancado e ferido a faca.
(004) Rasputin foi mortalmente ferido em 29 de junho de 1914.
(008) Guseva considerava Rasputin um anticristo.
(016) Dizia-se que a alma de Muzhik era inseparável de seu corpo.
• Gabarito 10 (= 08+02) (001) ❌Rasputin, segundo a lenda, é imortal.
🔹O texto não diz que ele era imortal.
🔹Diz que os “legends surrounding the death of Rasputin are mysterious and bizarre” e que ele resistiu a várias tentativas de assassinato, mas acabou morrendo (drowning).
(002) ✅foi envenenado, atingido por tiros, espancado e ferido a faca.
🔹Envenenado (cyanide nos bolos e vinho).
🔹Atirado várias vezes (tiro pelas costas + outros dois).
🔹Espancado com um porrete de borracha.
🔹Ferido a faca em 1914 por Khionia Guseva.
(004) ❌Rasputin foi mortalmente ferido em 29 de junho de 1914.
🔹Em 1914 ele foi ferido gravemente (facada), mas sobreviveu após cirurgia. A morte ocorreu apenas em dezembro de 1916.
(008) ✅Guseva considerava Rasputin um anticristo.
🔹O texto cita que, ao atacá-lo, ela gritou: “I have killed the antichrist!”.
(016) ❌Dizia-se que a alma de Muzhik era inseparável de seu corpo.
🔹O texto afirma de forma diferente:
🔹"[...] It was said of his survival that "the soul of this cursed muzhik was sewn on his body”.
🔹“Dizia-se de sua sobrevivência que a alma desse maldito mujique[camponês] estava costurada ao seu corpo.”
🔑Expressões destacadas:
🔹It was said of his survival → Dizia-se de sua sobrevivência.
🔹the soul of this cursed muzhik → a alma desse maldito mujique.
🔹"muzhik" = termo russo para “camponês”, “homem simples” (na tradução pode-se manter como mujique para dar o tom cultural e histórico).
🔹was sewn on his body → estava costurada ao seu corpo
👉 O efeito da frase é de algo quase sobrenatural, como se sua alma estivesse presa ao corpo de maneira artificial, o que dá a ideia de resistência ou imortalidade “forçada”.
23. Conforme o uso no texto “Die-Hard in History”, é correto afirmar:
(001) “he” refere-se à família Romanov.
(002) “him” refere-se a Rasputin.
(004) “the men ” refere-se ao grupo formado por Yusupov, Pavlovich e Purishkevich.
(008) “perhaps” pode ser substituído por “never” sem alterar o sentido da oração.
(016) “The woman” refere-se a uma prostituta contratada por Khionia Guseva para assassinar Rasputin.
• Gabarito 06 (= 02+04)
(001) ❌“he” refere-se à família Romanov.
📖 Texto: “he wormed his way into the heart of the imperial family and he just didn't want to go.”
🔹“Ele se infiltrou no coração da família imperial e simplesmente ele não queria ir embora.”.
🔹"wormed his way into" → expressão idiomática que significa se infiltrar / se insinuar / entrar sorrateiramente (com esforço, insistência ou manipulação).
🔹 Aqui, he = Rasputin. Não é a família Romanov.
(002) ✅“him” refere-se a Rasputin.
📖 Texto: “Some may even say that he was the cause of their destruction. Whatever you may think about him: powerful mystic or drunken fruitcake, he wormed his way into the heart of the imperial family...”
🔹Alguns podem até dizer que ele foi a causa da destruição deles. O que quer que você pense sobre ele: místico poderoso ou louco bêbado, ele se infiltrou no coração da família imperial...
🔹 O pronome him em "whatever you may think about him" refere-se diretamente a Rasputin
(004) ✅“the men” refere-se ao grupo formado por Yusupov, Pavlovich e Purishkevich.
📖 Texto: “To ensure he didn't rouse again, the men tied Rasputin in a blanket and dumped his body into the Neva River.”
🔹Para garantir que ele não ressuscitasse, os homens amarraram Rasputin em um cobertor e jogaram seu corpo no rio Neva.
🔹 “the men” = refere-se claramente ao grupo de conspiradores: Yusupov, Pavlovich e Purishkevich.
(008) ❌“perhaps” pode ser substituído por “never”.
📖 Texto: “The legends surrounding the death of Rasputin are perhaps even more mysterious and bizarre than his life.”
🔹As lendas que cercam a morte de Rasputin são talvez ainda mais misteriosas e bizarras do que sua vida.
🔹Perhaps → "talvez".
🔹Substituir por never (“nunca”) mudaria completamente o sentido.
(016) ❌“The woman” refere-se a uma prostituta contratada por Khionia Guseva.
📖 Texto: “... he was attacked suddenly by Khionia Guseva, a former prostitute. The woman thrust a knife into Rasputin's abdomen...”
🔹ele foi atacado de repente por Khionia Guseva, uma ex-prostituta. A mulher enfiou uma faca no abdômen de Rasputin...
🔹O termo "the woman" refere-se à própria Guseva, não a uma prostituta contratada.
24. Considering the text “Die-Hard in History” one might infer that
(001) Khionia Guseva thought she had killed Rasputin when she stabbed him.
(002) Rasputin did not die from the massive amount of poison he was given.
(004) Rasputin drowned to death.
(008) Yusupov called Rasputin a “bad boy”.
(016) Rasputin is believed immortal because his body was never found.
• Gabarito 07 (= 01+02+04)
(001) ✅Khionia Guseva thought she had killed Rasputin when she stabbed him.
📖 “Convinced of her success, Guseva supposedly screamed, ‘I have killed the antichrist!’”
🔹Correto: ela acreditava que o tinha matado.
(002) ✅Rasputin did not die from the massive amount of poison he was given.
📖 “According to legend, Rasputin was unaffected, although Maklakov had supplied enough poison to kill five men.”
🔹Correto: ele não morreu pelo veneno.
(004) ✅Rasputin drowned to death.
📖 “An autopsy established that the cause of death was drowning.”
🔹Correto: a causa da morte foi afogamento.
(008) ❌Yusupov called Rasputin a ‘bad boy’.
📖 “Suddenly, Rasputin opened his eyes and lunged at him. When he grabbed Prince Yusupov he ominously whispered in Yusupov's ear ‘you bad boy’...”
🔹De repente, Rasputin abriu os olhos e atirou-se contra ele. Quando agarrou o Príncipe Yusupov, sussurrou-lhe ao ouvido, de forma sombria e ameaçadora: ‘seu garoto malvado’...
🔹Quem disse “bad boy” foi Rasputin, não Yusupov.
✨ Expressões destacadas:
🔹Suddenly → de repente (indica surpresa, mudança brusca).
🔹"lunged at him" → atirou-se contra ele (movimento rápido e agressivo).
🔹"grabbed Prince Yusupov" → agarrou o Príncipe Yusupov (ato físico de segurar com força).
🔹"ominously whispered" → sussurrou de forma sombria/ameaçadora (tom que transmite perigo).
🔹"you bad boy" → seu garoto malvado (irônico, carregado de ameaça).
(016) ❌Rasputin is believed immortal because his body was never found.
📖 “To ensure he didn't rouse again, the men tied Rasputin in a blanket and dumped his body into the Neva River. His body was found…”
🔹Para garantir que ele não voltasse a despertar, os homens amarraram Rasputin em um cobertor e jogaram seu corpo no rio Neva. O corpo dele foi encontrado...
✨ Expressões destacadas:
🔹"to ensure" → para garantir (indica intenção de certeza).
🔹"he didn't rouse again" → não voltasse a despertar (rouse = acordar / recobrar os sentidos).
🔹"tied Rasputin in a blanket" → amarraram Rasputin em um cobertor (ato de contenção e ocultação).
🔹"dumped his body" → jogaram seu corpo (dump = descartar, lançar de forma brusca).
🔹"into the Neva River" → no rio Neva (cenário crucial da morte).
25. Considerando o texto abaixo, é correto afirmar:
- Nobody ever smiles around here, so nobody will ever see your teeth. That's our dental plan.
(001) Os funcionários da empresa para a qual a jovem está se candidatando a emprego são cegos.
(002) A empresa para a qual a jovem está se candidatando a emprego não possui plano odontológico.
(004) O ambiente, na empresa para a qual a jovem está se candidatando a emprego, não é alegre.
(008) A entrevistadora estimula a vinda da nova funcionária à empresa.
(016) As duas mulheres da ilustração estão conversando sobre dentistas.
• Gabarito 06 (= 02+04)
🔎Trecho:
🔹"Nobody ever smiles around here, so nobody will ever see your teeth. That's our dental plan."
🔹Ninguém nunca sorri por aqui, então ninguém jamais verá os seus dentes. Esse é o nosso “plano odontológico.
🔎Resumo da ironia: O humor vem da contradição entre a expectativa de que um plano odontológico é importante e o fato de que ninguém sorri na empresa, tornando o plano completamente inútil. É um típico humor visual e textual de tirinhas como as de Glasbergen.
🔑Expressões destacadas:
🔹"Nobody ever smiles around here" → “Ninguém nunca sorri por aqui”. Ironia: Um “plano odontológico” normalmente é útil porque as pessoas sorriem, usam e mostram os dentes. Aqui, o autor já começa dizendo que ninguém sorri, o que anula o propósito do plano.
🔹"nobody will ever see your teeth" → “ninguém jamais verá os seus dentes”. Ironia reforçada: Como ninguém sorri, mesmo que você tenha dentes perfeitos, ninguém irá vê-los. O efeito cômico está na consequência absurda do primeiro enunciado.
🔹"That's our dental plan" → “Esse é o nosso plano odontológico” (expressão irônica, pois sugere que o plano odontológico é inútil se ninguém sorri). Ironia final: Normalmente um plano odontológico serve para manter os dentes saudáveis para que possam ser usados (sorrir, mastigar). Aqui, o “plano” é inútil, já que ninguém sorri. A frase fecha a piada de forma sarcástica.
🔎Análise das alternativas:
(001) ❌Os funcionários da empresa para a qual a jovem está se candidatando a emprego são cegos. 🔹Não há indicação de que sejam cegos; a piada é sobre ninguém sorrir.
(002) ✅empresa para a qual a jovem está se candidatando a emprego não possui plano odontológico.
🔹Corretíssimo. O texto ironiza dizendo que ninguém verá os dentes, então “o plano odontológico” é inútil.
(004) ✅O ambiente, na empresa para a qual a jovem está se candidatando a emprego, não é alegre.
🔹Também correto. "Nobody ever smiles around here" indica ambiente sério ou pouco alegre.
(008) ❌A entrevistadora estimula a vinda da nova funcionária à empresa.
🔹Pelo contrário, a fala é sarcástica.
(016) ❌As duas mulheres da ilustração estão conversando sobre dentistas.
🔹O tema é plano odontológico, mas o foco da piada não é dentista; é sobre ninguém sorrir.

Man provides photo for his own wanted poster
Mon Nov 9, 2009 10:23am EST LONDON (Reuters) - A British man on the run from police sent a picture of himself to his local paper because he disliked the mugshot they had printed of him as part of a public appeal to track him down.
South Wales Police had issued media with the photo of Matthew Maynard, wanted by officers investigating a house burglary, as part of a crackdown on crime in Swansea.
When it appeared in the South Wales Evening Post, the 23-year-old sent the newspaper a replacement photo of himself standing in front of a police van. They obligingly printed it on the front page.
The police thanked him for helping them in their appeal, saying: "Everyone in Swansea will know what he looks like now."

28. Conforme a ocorrência no texto “Man provides photo for his own wanted poster”, é correto afirmar:

(002) “wanted by officers” significa “querido pelos oficiais”.
(004) “in front of” é o oposto de “behind”
(008) “Everyone” pode ser substituído por “Everybody” sem alterar o sentido da frase.

• Gabarito 09 (= 01+04+08)
(001) ❌“mugshot” é o mesmo que “picture”
🔹 Trecho do texto:
🔹“because he disliked the mugshot they had printed of him”
🔹“porque ele não gostava da foto policial que haviam publicado dele”.
🔹Justificativa:
🔹"Mugshot" significa foto policial (geralmente usada em registros criminais), enquanto picture é foto comum. Não são exatamente equivalentes.
(002) ❌“wanted by officers” significa “querido pelos policias”
🔹Trecho do texto:
🔹“Matthew Maynard, wanted by officers investigating a house burglary”
🔹“Matthew Maynard, procurado pelos policiais que investigavam um roubo a residência”.
🔹Justificativa:
🔹"Wanted by officers" significa procurado pelos policiais, não “querido pelos oficiais”.
(004) ✅“in front of” é o oposto de “behind”
🔹Trecho do texto:
🔹“standing in front of a police van”
🔹“em pé na frente de uma viatura policial”.
🔹Justificativa:
🔹In front of = na frente de, behind = atrás de, portanto são opostos.
(008) ✅“Everyone” pode ser substituído por “Everybody” sem alterar o sentido da frase
🔹Trecho do texto:
🔹“Everyone in Swansea will know what he looks like now”.
🔹“Todos em Swansea saberão como ele é agora”.

🔹“Todos em Swansea saberão como ele é agora”.
🔹Trecho do texto:
🔹“Everyone in Swansea will know what he looks like now”.
🔹“Todos em Swansea vão saber como ele é agora” (não é “todos têm que saber”).
🔹Justificativa:
🔹Will know = vai saber, indica certeza futura. 🔹Have to know = tem que saber, indica obrigação, mudando o sentido da frase.

🔹Justificativa:
🔹Ele não se desgostava de si próprio, mas não gostou da foto policial publicada.
(002) ❌A British man was into track running.
🔹Trecho do texto:
🔹“A British man on the run from police…”
🔹“Um britânico foragido da polícia…”
🔹Justificativa:
🔹"On the run" aqui significa foragido da polícia, e não “gostar de corrida de pista”.
(004) ✅The South Wales Police were after a thief.
🔹Trecho do texto:
🔹“South Wales Police had issued media with the photo of Matthew Maynard, wanted by officers investigating a house burglary…”
🔹“A Polícia de South Wales havia divulgado a foto de Matthew Maynard, procurado por policiais que investigavam um roubo a residência”.
🔹Justificativa:
🔹A polícia estava atrás dele porque era suspeito de roubo a residência (thief).
(008) ❌Matthew Maynard worked in the South Wales Evening Post for 23 years.
🔹Trecho do texto:
🔹“…the 23-year-old sent the newspaper a replacement photo…”
🔹“O jovem de 23 anos enviou ao jornal uma foto substituta”.
🔹Justificativa:
🔹“23-year-old” significa 23 anos de idade, não 23 anos de trabalho no jornal.

🔹Trecho do texto:
🔹“The police thanked him for helping them in their appeal…”

30. Considering the line “Good fences make good neighbors” from the poem Mending walls by Robert Frost, one might correctly state that
(001) neighbors make good fences.
(002) good neighbors respect each other's property.
(004) there are no good fences.
(008) neighbors are only good when they make fences around their properties.
(016) bad neighbors make bad fences.
• Gabarito 02 (=02)
🔹Vamos analisar a frase do poema
🔹“Good fences make good neighbors”
🔹“Boas cercas fazem bons vizinhos.”
🔑Expressões destacadas:
🔹"Good fences" → "Boas cercas", refere-se literalmente às cercas que delimitam propriedades, mas também funciona como metáfora para limites e regras claras.
🔹"make good neighbors" → "fazem bons vizinhos", significa que relações são mais harmoniosas quando cada um respeita os limites do outro.
👉 Ou seja, a frase transmite a ideia de que a convivência pacífica depende do respeito às fronteiras — sejam físicas, emocionais ou sociais.
(001) ❌neighbors make good fences.
🔹A frase não diz que os vizinhos constroem boas cercas, mas que boas cercas fazem bons vizinhos.
(002) ✅good neighbors respect each other's property.
🔹Essa é a interpretação correta: a cerca representa os limites e o respeito à propriedade alheia.
(004) ❌there are no good fences.
🔹O poema menciona as cercas e a necessidade delas, não a ausência.
(008) ❌neighbors are only good when they make fences around their properties.
🔹A frase não diz que é condição exclusiva, mas sugere que limites (cercas) ajudam a manter boas relações.
(016) ❌bad neighbors make bad fences.
🔹O verso não menciona “maus vizinhos” nem que eles constroem cercas ruins.

Civil rights icon Rosa Parks dies at 92
Rosa Louise McCauley Parks, the civil rights icon, resident of Detroit, died on
October 24, 2005 at the age of 92, at about 7:00 p.m. EDT, in her apartment on the east
side. She had been diagnosed with progressive dementia in 2004.
Rosa Parks was an African American seamstress and a civil rights activist whom
the U.S. Congress dubbed the "mother of the modern-day Civil Rights Movement".
Parks is famous for her refusal on December 1, 1955 to obey a bus driver's demand
that she give up her seat to a white passenger. Her subsequent arrest and trial for this
act of civil disobedience ignited the 381-day Montgomery Bus Boycott by blacks, one
of the largest and most successful mass movements against racial segregation in
history, and launched Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the organizers of the boycott, to
the forefront of the civil rights movement. Her role in American history earned her an
iconic status in American culture, and her actions have left an enduring legacy for civil
rights movements worldwide.
On Wednesday, November 2 after the funeral service ended, an honor guard from
the Michigan National Guard laid the U.S. flag over the casket and carried it to a
horse-drawn hearse and later transferred it to a motor hearse. As the hearse passed the
thousands of people who had turned out to view the procession, many clapped and
released white balloons.
Rosa was interred between her husband and mother at Detroit's Woodlawn
Cemetery in the chapel's mausoleum which was renamed the Rosa L. Parks Freedom
Chapel just after her death. City officials in Montgomery and Detroit announced on
October 27 that the front seats of their city buses would be reserved with black ribbons
in honor of Parks until her funeral. Parks had previously prepared and placed a
headstone on the selected location with the inscription "Rosa L. Parks, wife, 1913–".

Being a mother or father – a constant learning process
We don't need to go to school to learn to be good mothers and fathers.
The other day I saw an article that caught my attention: the headline was 'School in
France teaches how to be a father and mother'. Because of my personal situation - I am a
first-time mother of a one-year-old baby - I rushed to read the article about the French
experience. The School for Parents and Educators (EPE in French), a non-governmental
organization offers activities and services that help train mothers and fathers throughout
France. The project seems to be very interesting and the numbers confirm its success: in
1998 the EPE recorded 51,000 visits made by parents. The comments made by mothers
and fathers are encouraging: they talk about how good it feels to share the same
experiences, and the same joys and heartaches with fellow parents.
How to be a good enough mother or father for our children is a topic that is high on
everyone's agenda, more so today than ever before. Theories on modern psychology and
education abound and have been widely disseminated. Parents devour information about
how to raise their children with the same voracity of a hungry baby nursing at his
mother's breast. But often they read so much and listen to so many diverse and diverging
opinions that they end up with a theoretical overdose. An excess of information often
distracts parents from their most precious gift: that of simply observing their own
children. This, more than any theory, provides parents with that "sixth sense" that enables
them automatically and naturally to "figure out" what the child needs.
We must remember that intuition should go hand in hand with common sense, which
comes from the loving and caring observation of the everyday lives of children and
youngsters. Any studies that have been done about their universe will confirm this.
Readings, conversations with friends, support groups and the help of experienced
professionals are always welcome, as long as the participants are caring and loving
parents.
We do not need to go to school to learn how to be mothers and fathers. We should,
however, do everything in our power to ensure that we are truly doing the best we can.
But without all that guilt or neurosis. After all, education goes both ways: we will teach
them about life and they will teach us. Parents can learn so much from their children,
including how to be decent parents - and vice versa.
