1 One-third of the youngest children in the United States – babies through age 6 – live in homes
where the television is on almost all the time, says a study that highlights the immense disconnect
between what pediatricians advise and what parents allow.
TV in the bedroom is not even that rare for the youngest children anymore. Almost one child in
5 five under 2 has a set, even though the American Academy of Pediatrics advises against any TV watching
at that age.
Eig ht in 10 children younger than 6 watch TV, play video games or use the computer on a typical
day. They average about two hours of screen time, compared with 48 minutes when they are being read
to, the Kaiser Family Foundation concludes in a study released Wednesday.
10 The number of youngsters glued to the screen has not changed much since the foundation's first
rep ort on the topic in 2003. However, in this follow-up, Kaiser asked parents – in a survey and in focus-
group sessions – why they and their children use TV and other electronic media the way they do.
Instead, a generation of parents raised on TV is largely encouraging the early use of television,
video games and computers by their own children, often starting in infancy.
15 These parents say TV teaches how to share and the ABCs when they do not have the time.
Television provides time for parents to cook or take a shower. They use screen time as a reward or,
paradoxically, to help kids wind down at bedtime.
Despite studies that link bedroom TVs to kids' sleep problems, the most common reason cited for
giving children their own set was that it freed up other TVs so parents or their other children could watch
20 shows of their choice.
The report by the California-based foundation, which analyzes health care issues, comes at a time
of great debate about the impact of TV and other multimedia on youngsters. Just last week, specialists
called together by the National Institutes of Health urged more research on how electronic media affect
children at different ages.
25 Those specialists sigh at the notion that parents could not get by without TV. "People have made
dinner for millennia, but we've only had television for 50 years," said Dr. Dimitri Christakas of the
University of Washington. "Television's not inherently good or bad. ... The real goal now has to be not to
de-technologize childhood, but how to optimize children's experiences with it."
The pediatrics group recommends no TV or other electronic media for kids younger than 2 –
30 advice that just 26 percent of parents followed, Kaiser found – and no more than two hours of total
"screen time" daily for older children.
The organization is not anti-TV, said Dr. Daniel Broughton of the Mayo Clinic, an academy
member who co-wrote the recommendations. But before age 2 is the time of the brain's most rapid
development , and interaction – the live give-and-take that TV cannot provide – is crucial during that
35 period, he said.
Some studies also link TV watching at younger ages to youngsters' attention disorders. After a
child reaches 2, the idea is to balance a little TV with riding bikes, playing with friends, household chores
and the other activities of childhood, Broughton said.
" We want parents to watch with their kids," he added. One reason is that viewing ethnic
40 stereotypes or bad behavior on TV can become instructive, when parents explain why children should not
copy what they saw.

(C) Parents are letting TV teach their children.
(D) Pediatricians and parents have different attitudes towards TV watching.
(E) Older children should spend their time watching TV and also doing other activities.

R: (B) Children under 2 can sometimes watch TV.
Para acertar essa questão de compreensão, o candidato deverá ser capaz de identificar a única
opção que não é pertinente à idéia exposta no texto. A única opção correta é a (B), porque o texto
afirma, nos parágrafos 2 e 10, que é recomendado que as crianças com menos de dois anos não
assistam à televisão. As demais opções devem ser descartadas por serem relevantes às idéias
expostas no texto.
Questão 03
In which paragraphs does the author introduce parents´ position in relation to the advantages of TV
watching?
(A) Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3
(B) Paragraphs 1, 5 and 7
(C) Paragraphs 4, 5 and 6
(D) Paragraphs 5, 6 and 7
(E) Paragraphs 5, 6 and 9

R: (D) Paragraphs 5, 6 and 7
O acerto desta questão depende da capacidade de compreensão do candidato, que deverá ser
capaz de identificar a opção (D) como a única que aponta os parágrafos nos quais o autor introduz
o posicionamento dos pais em relação às vantagens da televisão. No parágrafo 5, o autor enfatiza
que os pais estão encorajando seus filhos a usar, desde novos, a televisão e outros meios
eletrônicos, como videogames e computadores. No parágrafo 6, o autor segue realçando que estes
pais acreditam que a televisão possa ensinar seus filhos a ler e a realizar operações matemáticas,
proporcionando tempo para os pais, que, igualmente, usam a TV como uma recompensa ou forma
de acalmar seus filhos na hora de dormir. No parágrafo 7, o autor comenta que os pais permitem
que seus filhos tenham um aparelho de TV em seus quartos, possibilitando que as crianças
liberem outros televisores para o uso dos pais ou de outros filhos. As demais opções devem ser
descartadas por não comentarem o posicionamento dos pais em relação ao uso da TV e outros
meios eletrônicos.
Questão 04
Mark the only option in which “ as” has the SAME meaning that is presented in the following statement:
“They use screen time as a reward or, paradoxically, to help kids wind down at bedtime.” (lines 16-17)
(A) As they were really busy, they decided to let their children watch TV at bedtime.
(B) She read the survey as she was waiting for the bus .
(C) He became a scientist, as his father.
(D) As for her husband, their kids are free to watch TV.
(E) The research could be interpreted as an alert for parents.

R: (E) The research could be interpreted as an alert for parents.
O acerto desta questão depende da compreensão do candidato dos diferentes significados de “as”
na língua inglesa. O candidato deverá marcar a opção (E) como a única que apresenta o mesmo
significado do proposto no enunciado, ou seja, atua como a preposição como. As demais opções
devem ser descartadas, pois são conjunções e exprimem idéias diferentes da original. Na opção
(A), “as” significa a causa, na opção (B) “as” significa “enquanto”, na opção (C) significa “no mesmo
papel de” e na opção (D) “quanto ao”.
Questão 05
Mark the only WRONG pair of synonyms:
(A) Highlights (line 2) – emphasizes

(B) Provides (line 16) – proves
(C) Issues (line 21) – questions
(D) Goal (line 27) – objective
(E) Balance (line 37) – combine

R: (B) Provides (line 16) – proves
Para acertar esta questão de vocabulário contextualizado, o candidato deverá compreender tanto o
sentido das palavras no texto como o dos sinônimos propostos, e perceber que, somente em (B),
não há uma relação de sinonímia entre os dois termos. O verbo “provide” significa “prover”,
“fornecer”. Deste modo, o verbo “prove”, que significa “provar”, “comprovar”, não pode ser
entendido como um possível sinônimo, como proposto. As demais opções devem ser descartadas,
já que as palavras da segunda coluna poderiam substituir as primeiras no mesmo contexto, sem
alterações de significado.
Questão 06
In the sentence “ Despite studies that link bedroom TVs to kids' sleep problems, the most common
reason (...) children could watch shows of their choice” (lines 18-20), the word “despite” expresses an
idea of:
(A) contrast.
(B) addition .
(C) result .
(D) Conclusion .
(E) Comparison .

R: (A) contrast.
Para acertar essa questão, o candidato deverá conhecer os conectivos da língua inglesa e suas
funções, sendo capaz de identificar a opção (A), “contrast”, como a única que apresenta uma
alternativa correta para a função de “despite”. As demais opções devem ser descartadas, pois
exprimem idéias diferentes da original.
Questão 07
Mark the CORRECT statement concerning reference.
(A) “They” (line 16) refers to “children”.

(B) “It” (line 19) refers to “reason”.
(C) “Which” (line 21) refers to “foundation”.
(D) “It” (line 28) refers to “notion”.
(E) “They” (line 41) refers to “parents”.

R: (C) “Which” (line 21) refers to “foundation”.
O acerto desta questão de referência depende da identificação, por parte do candidato, da única
opção que associa corretamente o pronome e seu referente. A resposta certa é a opção (C). Nas
demais opções, o antecedente proposto está incorreto: “They”, na opção (A), refere-se a “parents”
(linha 16); “It”, na opção (B), refere-se a “giving children their own set” (linha 19); “It”, na opção (D),
refere-se a “technology” (a partir de “de-technologize” na linha 28); e “they”, na opção (E), refere-se
a “children”.
Questão 08
In the sentence “ One reason … TV can become instructive, when parents explain why children should
not copy what they saw.”(lines 39-41), the word “ can” expresses the idea of:
(A) ability.
(B) request.
(C) inability.
(D) permission.
(E) possibility.

R: (E) possibility.
Nesta questão, o candidato deverá demonstrar conhecimento das funções dos verbos modais e de
seu uso no texto. A única opção certa é (E) porque “can” neste contexto expressa a idéia de
possibilidade. Todas as outras opções devem ser descartadas, pois o verbo modal, nesse
contexto, não expressa a noção de habilidade (A), pedido (B), inabilidade (C) ou mesmo permissão
(D).

(E) Dr. Daniel Broughton of the Mayo Clinic (line 32)

R: (C) Specialists (line 22).
Para acertar essa questão de compreensão de coesão lexical, o candidato deverá ser capaz de
identificar a única opção que aponta as pessoas que opinaram sobre o assunto, mas que não
tiveram participação na elaboração do estudo em questão. A única opção correta é a (C). Três das
demais opções se referem à organizações, e uma se refere a um especialista que participou na
redação do texto do estudo.

TEXT:
An American playboy faces charges over the deaths of two English tourists in a hit-and-run crash, a
lawyer has said.
Kenneth Watkinson, 48, of Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, and Craig Elford, 39, from Ratley in
Oxfordshire, were killed on 13 February last year.
They were struck when walking to their hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
It is reported jewellery heir Ryan LeVin, 35, has been charged with vehicular homicide and fleeing the
scene of a death.
'Worst loss imaginable'
Jonathan Pavsner, who represents Mr Watkinson's widow Kirsty and their three children, said the local
state attorney's office had charged Mr LeVin.
He said of Mr Watkinson: "He was a husband and a father of three and they are suffering the worst loss
imaginable."
Ryan LeVin is the son of Shirley and Arthur LeVin, founders of Jewels by Park Lane.
It is alleged a white Porsche GT2, owned by Mr LeVin, mounted the kerb and hit the two Britons before
speeding off.
Each of the vehicular homicide charges carry a maximum 15 years in prison.
The families of the two victims are also suing Mr LeVin for compensation.

The April 2010 Rio de Janeiro floods and mudslides are an extreme weather event that has affected the
State of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil in the first days of April 2010. At least 212 people have died, 161 people
have been injured (including several rescuers), while at least 15,000 people have been made homeless.
A further 10,000 homes are thought to be at risk from mudslides, most of them in slums built on the
hillsides above downtowns. Damage from the flooding has been estimated at 23.76 billion reais
(US$13.3bn, €9.9bn), about 8% of the gross domestic product (GDP) of Rio de Janeiro State.
The flooding has particularly affected the city of Rio de Janeiro, where at least 60 people have died, and
its surrounding area. Deaths have also been reported in the cities of Niterói (132), São Gonçalo (16),
Paracambi (1), Paulo de Frontin (1), Magé (1), Nilópolis (1) and Petrópolis(1). Several municipalities,
including Niterói and municipalities to the east such as Maricá and Araruama, have declared states of
emergency or of public calamity. The Governor of Rio de Janeiro State, Sérgio Cabral, declared three
days of official mourning for the dead.
Heavy rain started at around 5 p.m. local time on Monday 5 April in Rio de Janeiro city, and continued
for 24 hours, with a total of 28.8 cm of rain falling, more than was predicted for the whole of April and
the heaviest rainfall for thirty years. Rio de Janeiro mayor, Eduardo Paes, admitted that the city's
preparedness for heavy rainfall had been "less than zero," but added "there isn’t a city that wouldn’t
have had problems with this level of rainfall."
A further landslide hit a slum in Niteroi late on April 7. It is thought to have killed at least 150, although
the toll is expected to rise.

the State of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil in the first days of April 2010." The word underlined can be replaced
by WHICH without changing the meaning of the sentence.
the State of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil in the first days of April 2010." The word underlined can be replaced
by WHO without changing the meaning of the sentence.
the State of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil in the first days of April 2010." If we OMIT the word underlined, the
sentence will be grammatically incorrect.
33 - "The flooding has particularly affected the city of Rio de Janeiro, where at least 60 people have died,
and its surrounding area." The word underlined is a relative pronoun and refers to the flooding.
44 - "The flooding has particularly affected the city of Rio de Janeiro, where at least 60 people have died,

WTO Agreement on Drug Patents
Developing countries won a _____ (1) victory at the World Trade Organization meeting
earlier this month in Doha, Qatar. The battle was over the rights of poor nations to produce
life-saving drugs during health emergencies.
More than one-hundred-forty countries attended the Doha conference. The group finally
reached an agreement after more than a week of debate. It permits developing countries to
give so-called "compulsory licenses" during national health emergencies. A compulsory
license requires drug manufacturers to share their inventions with competing companies.
_____ a drug company develops a cure or treatment for a disease, it seeks special rights to
make and sell the product. This special permission is called a patent. A patent prevents
other companies from making the same drug for a number of years _____ the patent is in
force.
Under compulsory licenses, other companies are permitted to produce low-cost generic
drugs. These are copies of costly medicines patented by large drug companies.
In the past, a lack of understanding existed over the rights of developing countries to give
compulsory licenses. However, this issue was settled by the Doha agreement. Developing
countries are now able to give compulsory licenses when dealing with public health crises.
These include AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and diseases likely to spread quickly through the
population.
Poor countries are not able to pay for costly drugs to treat diseases such as AIDS. So the
debate over drug patents is between rich and poor countries. International drug companies
in Europe and the United States oppose the Doha agreement. They say it will prevent drug
companies from seeking cures for diseases that affect the poor. Drug companies say they
are forced to charge high prices for medicines to pay for the high cost of their research.
Drug patents are important because they help companies recover money spent developing
new medicines.
Developing countries, such as India, Brazil and South Africa, support the Doha agreement.
They say poor nations should be able to produce or import less costly generic drugs in times
of health crises. They say the goal is to reduce the cost of drugs to treat diseases that kill
millions of poor people every year.

Gabarito Comentado
Questão 1. A alternativa correta é a letra c (major = greater or more important)
Analisemos, então, as outras alternativas:
a. a palavra mayor significa prefeito (head of a municipal corporation of a city)
b. a palavra minor significa justamente o contrário de major.
d. a palavra marjoram é uma erva aromática (manjerona).
e. a palavra majority significa maioria, maioridade.
Questão 2. A alternativa correta é a letra c.
Veja que when e while são conjunções subordinadas temporais que significam,

respectivamente, quando e enquanto.
Questão 3. A alternativa correta é a letra b. Preste atenção ao contexto em que a palavra é
empregada.
É importante lembrar que even though (assim como although) introduz uma oração

subordinada concessiva. Portanto, teremos que ter uma oração principal (com sujeito e
verbo) e uma oração subordinada (também com sujeito e verbo). O período é composto.
Cuidado também para não confundir so (result) com so (purpose). Analise os seguintes

exemplos e preste atenção à pontuação:
 Bob didn’t study, so (therefore/consequently) he flunked. (so = result)

 Scientists are studying the brain so that (in order that) they can understand more
about people’s feelings. (so = purpose) Vale lembrar que neste exemplo (that) pode
ser omitido, sem que altere o significado da sentença.
Questão 4. A alternativa correta é a letra a. Com o verbo help podemos ter as seguintes

construções: Help someone / something to do something
ou
Help someone / something do something.
Questão 5. A alternativa que não está de acordo com o texto é a letra c. Veja
que worldwidesignifica mundial, o que invalida a resposta.
Questão 6. As respostas são: F; F; F; T; T.
Analisemos as respostas falsas: alternativa a é falsa, pois o número de países foi superior
ao dado na alternativa.
A alternativa b é falsa, pois não se trata de uma possível permissão e sim de uma
exigência. Compare: might allow = pode permitir vs requires = exige que.
A alternativa c é falsa. Veja a definição dada à patente no parágrafo 3 do texto.

Resolução da Questão 16 de Inglês
16. Take your umbrella. It ______ rain later.
A) can’t

Resposta
16. Esta questão de “modal verbs” pedia que o aluno completasse a frase com um verbo que
exprimisse possibilidade. O gabarito oficial apresenta a resposta letra C como a correta, porém
poderíamos também aceitar o uso do “could” como um modal que expressa possibilidade. Em nenhum
momento, estamos dizendo que a resposta letra C está incorreta, mas sendo “could” um verbo modal
que expressa também possibilidade, a UPE poderia aceitar as duas alternativas C e D.

04. According to the text below:
INTERESTING PROPOSAL
I find that there is sometimes a lack of understanding and respect between students and teachers.
In order to solve this problem, we should have a teacher-student swap day once a semester. On this
day, students would be the teachers and the teachers would be the students. The reason for this is so
that students and teachers can learn from the challenges the others face. This could benefit the school
in several ways. First, students could see what teachers have to do to prepare for a class. Second,
teachers could learn new ideas from students and how students learn best. Another advantage would
be that students could find out if teaching is something they’d like to do as a career.
This could be easily put into practice. Each semester, every teacher would become a student and let
two students take over the classe – one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Students who are
interested would volunteer to teacher a subject they feel comfortable with. They would then be chosen
at random.
Finally, maybe a student could know how much money a teacher makes and how much work a teacher
has.
Adapted from McCARTHY, Michael et al. Touchstone workbook 4, ed. Cambridge. USA, 2007, p. 57.
A) Teachers would like to be in the students’ place.
B) Students would like to be in the teachers’ place.
C) Teachers and students should change roles in school sometimes.
D) Teaching is a good carrer to make money.
E) Students want to become teachers.

Comentário da Prova de Inglês UPE 2008

Comentário
A prova da UPE não fugiu ao padrão dos anos anteriores no que diz respeito à divisão: gramática,
vocabulário e compreensão de texto. Houve 5 questões de compreensão, 1 de vocabulário e 10 de
gramática. Percebemos que algumas palavras e enunciados estavam grafadas erradas, por exemplo:
“classe” = “classes”, “teacher” = teach”, “we’re” = “we’d”, “speach” = “speech”, “depende” =
“depend”. No mais, a prova está bastante condizente com o alunado do ensino médio. Gostaríamos de
destacar a questão número 15, com o uso do “present perfect” para primeiro condicional, algo
bastante incomum, mas correto segundo a gramática da língua inglesa.
