Text 1
It’s easy to suppose that we all feel the same way about global warming. After
all, everybody wants to save the world. We all want to make a contribution,
however small, and we all do our best. You aren’t one of those people who
wastes water. And I’ m sure you’ve got low-energy light bulbs in your house.
Not everyone is so enthusiastic, of course. Some people wonder what they can
do to help, and don’t really know what to do, until they find out by paying
attention to what the world’s scientists are saying. At least, we all hope this is
true.
Still, there are quite a lot of people who just hope that the problem will go
away. Why do they do this, we might ask. Don’t they want to make a
difference? Their usual response is “We don’t really know whether the climate is
changing”. Well, there’s plenty of evidence of climate change. We know that we
are wasting energy and polluting the planet. It’s all quite simple really. And if
you do know anyone who is still uncertain about whether to save the world or
not, your message to them should be clear. What are you waiting for? If you
think this is just somebody else’s problem, it will, very soon, be your problem
as well.
M. Vince. Macmillan English Grammar in Context. Oxford: Macmillan Education, 2008 (ad
apted).
According to the text, judge the following items.
1) CESPE/ECT/2011
__ The term “hope” (line 8) is synonymous with expect.
COMENTÁRIO
Guys, parece certa mais não é. Apesar de que ambos, hope e expect, podem
ser traduzidos por esperar... A diferença é bem sutil. É assim: “hope” = ter
esperança e “expect” = ter a expectativa (real) de algo.
Exemplos:
• The Government expects an increase in job offers during the 2014 World
Cup
(o governo espera um aumento da oferta de trabalho durante a Copa do

Mundo de 2014)
• We all hope everything goes as expected

Nós esperamos que tudo saia como previsto.
GABARITO: ERRADA
2) CESPE/ECT/2011
___People all over the world are willing to make a minor contribution to
decrease global warming consequences.
COMENTÁRIO:
Vocabulário importante para resolver a questão.
“…everybody wants to save the world. We all want to make a contribution,

however small,…”
Vamos aos links:
• People all over the world = everybody

• Willing to = want
• A ideia de “decrease global warming” está ligada à “Save the world”
• Global warming = aquecimento global
Tudo lindo , mas.... o gabarito definitivo é ERRADO.
O problema está com a palavra minor= menor , secundário. Se contrastarmos

minor com major, por exemplo, que significa maior, principal, temos em minor
uma conotação negativa. Seria como se minor contribution não fosse uma
contribuição suficiente. Já small está empregado como algo pequeno, porém de
relevância.
Minor contribution= contribuição secundária

Small contribution= uma pequena contribuição
O erro é muito sutil e acho até que deve ter chuvido recurso. Acho que a
questão deveria ser anulada, mas está aí para treino!!
GABARITO: ERRADA
3) CESPE/ECT/2011
_____Everyone should do their best to save wastewater.
COMENTÁRIO
A assertiva afirma que todos devemos fazer o nosso melhor para economizar
água não potável.
Guys, olha o jogo de palavras!! Pegadinha!
• Wastewater = água não potável. É substantivo!
• Waste water = desperdiçar água. É verbo!!!
• Save = economizar
GABARITO: ERRADA
4) CESPE/ECT/2011
____ Many people are awaiting the day when our world warming will fade
away.
COMENTÀRIO:
Temos reescritura de algo mencionado no texto!!
Para responder esta questão veremos 2 trechos:
1 – “Still, there are quite a lot of people who just hope that the problem will go
away…”
2- “What are you waiting for?”
Vamos ao links?
“fade away” e “go away” estão no mesmo campo semântico. “Fade away” é
desaparecer e “go away” é ir embora.
“Waiting for” = awating = esperar (por algo acontecer)
GABARITO: CERTA
5) CESPE/ECT/2011
____It is all too clear that we have been defiling the Earth.
COMENTÁRIO
Acredito que o examinador quer saber se você conhece o significado de
“defiling”, que vem do verbo defile = sujar/poluir.
Veja o trecho:
“We know that we are wasting energy and polluting the planet. It’s all quite
simple really…”
wasting energy and polluting the planet = defiling the Earth
GABARITO: CERTA
Text 2
More than a century after women started campaigning for the right to vote, it
still seems that there aren’t enough women in position of power. In the world as
a whole, there have been very few female heads of state and in some countries
women hold hardly any political power. In industrialized countries where large
numbers of women work, it still happens that men earn two or three times as
much for doing the same job. Although there are a few successful female
business leaders, there are clearly many more men at the top. Many
people believe that this situation reflects the fact that women haven’t got
enough time to be successful in the work place, and in the home. There is too
much pressure on women, they say, to be good wives and mothers, and they
are at a disadvantage in the job market. However, there is quite a lot of
evidence to suggest that women can be more successful in the modern business
environment than men. Many modern business operations now depend on co-
operation and flexibility, and women are better at those skills than men. So it
may well be that in the future, quite a lot of important business will be run by
women, and it will be the men who earn lower wages or stay at home.
apted).
Based on the text, judge the following items.
6)CESPE/ECT/2011
___The main idea of the text can be said to be “same tasks, same pay”.

COMENTÁRIO
“same tasks, same pay” essa expressão significa mesmas tarefas ,mesma
remuneração.
O texto traz o oposto do que afirma assertiva! Veja o trecho:
“In industrialized countries where large numbers of women work, it

still happens that men earn two or three times as much for doing the
same job.”
[Homens ganham 2 ou 3 vezes a mais para fazer o mesmo trabalho]
Cuidado para não errar usando o senso comum! A assertiva quer saber a idéia
principal do texto e não como deveria ser a situação entre homens e mulheres
nos dias de hoje.
GABARITO: ERRADA
7) CESPE/ECT/2011
____It took ages before women could occupy a powerful position.
COMENTÁRIO
O texto diz que “mais de um século depois que as mulheres começaram a lutar
pelo direito de voto, parece que ainda não há mulheres em numero suficiente
no poder...”
veja o trecho:
“More than a century after women started campaigning for the right to vote, it
still seems that there aren’t enough women in position of power…”
• It took ages= demorou muito
GABARITO: CERTA
8) CESPE/ECT/2011
____There are countries where a woman has almost no political influence.
COMENTÁRIO
Has almost no = quase não (tem), da assertiva está no mesmo campo

semântico de hardly any.
“…and in some countries women hold hardly any political power.”

Já conhecem os adverbs of frequency ! lembra da aula 1? GABARITO: CERTA

Text 3
1 Privacy groups and lawmakers are calling for a new and

broader investigation into Google and its privacy practices after
the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
4 announced that it found no evidence that the company broke
eavesdropping laws.
Late last week, the FCC reported that there was no legal
7 precedent to find fault with Google collecting unprotected
home Wi-Fi data, such as personal email, passwords and search
histories, with its roaming Street View cars between 2007 and
10 2010. However, the FCC did fine Google $ 25,000 for
obstructing its investigation.
The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), a
13 national privacy watchdog, disagreed with the FCC findings. In
a letter sent to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder today, EPIC
asked that the Department of Justice investigate Google’s
16 surreptitious collecting of Wi-Fi data from residential networks.
U.S. Rep. Edward J. Markey, a senior member of the U.S.
House Energy and Commerce Committee, has also stepped into
19 the fray.
“The circumstances surrounding Google’s siphoning of
personal information leave many unanswered questions,”
22 Markey said today in an email to Computerworld. “I believe
Congress should immediately hold a hearing to get to the
bottom of this serious situation.”
Internet: <www.computerworld.com> (adapted).
Based on the text above it can be said that

US regulatory agency into its controversial data collection for its Street View
project.

GABARITO: CERTA

_______ “surreptitious” (line.16) is synonymous with concealed.
COMENTÁRIO

• Surreptitious= clandestino, não autorizado
GABARITO: CERTA

______calls for a federal investigation came after the Federal Communications
Commission found that Google did not break the law as it collected personal
data on Wi-Fi networks.
COMENTÁRIO
A assertiva diz que os pedidos ( calls ) de investigação aconteceram depois (
after ) que a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) descobriu que Google
NÃO violou a lei (did NOT break the law ) quando coletou dados pessoais nas
redes wi-fi.

Atenção! FCC ( não é Fundação Carlos Chagas não! Rsrs..)
Vamos ao trecho:

eavesdropping laws.”

Text 4
Government accountants and auditors work in the

public sector, maintaining and examining the records of
government agencies and auditing private businesses and

4 individuals whose activities are subject to government
regulations or taxation. Accountants employed by Federal,
State, and local governments ensure that revenues are received
7 and expenditures are made in accordance with laws and
regulations. Those employed by the Federal Government may
work as Internal Revenue Service agents or in financial
10 management, financial institution examination, or budget
analysis and administration.
Internal auditors verify the effectiveness of their
13 organization’s internal controls and check for mismanagement,
waste, or fraud. They examine and evaluate their firms’
financial and information systems, management procedures,
16 and internal controls to ensure that records are accurate and
controls are adequate. They also review company operations,
evaluating their efficiency, effectiveness, and compliance with
19 corporate policies and government regulations. Because
computer systems commonly automate transactions and make
information readily available, internal auditors may also help
22 management evaluate the effectiveness of their controls based
on real-time data, rather than personal observation. They may
recommend and review controls for their organization’s
25 computer systems to ensure their reliability and integrity of the
data. Internal auditors may also have specialty titles, such as
information technology auditors, environmental auditors, and
28 compliance auditors.
Technology is rapidly changing the nature of the work
of most accountants and auditors. With the aid of special
31 software packages, accountants summarize transactions in the
standard formats of financial records and organize data in
special formats employed in financial analysis. These
34 accounting packages greatly reduce the tedious work associated
with data management and recordkeeping. Computers enable
accountants and auditors to be more mobile and to use their
37 clients’ computer systems to extract information from
databases and the Internet. As a result, a growing number of
accountants and auditors with extensive computer skills
40 specialize in correcting problems with software or in
developing software to meet unique data management and
analytical needs. Accountants also are beginning to perform
43 more technical duties, such as implementing, controlling, and
auditing computer systems and networks and developing
technology plans. Internet: <www.bls.gov> (adapted).
Based on the text above, judge the following items.
14) Cespe/TCU/2011
________Automated transactions of computer systems have now been readily
replaced by personal observation.
COMENTÁRIO:
Pessoal, o examinador, como sempre nas provas do CESPE, tenta confundir o
candidato com um jogo de palavras que não corresponde à informação do
texto. Veja o trecho:
“Because computer systems commonly automate transactions and make

management evaluate the effectiveness of their controls based
on real-time data, rather than personal observation “
o texto diz que, com a automação das informações, os auditores podem fazer o
controle em informação em tempo real, ao invés de usar de observação
pessoal.
O contrario do que traz a assertiva, que diz que as transações foram

substituídas ( replaced ) pela observação pessoal.

Text 5
A Slow Down for Small Businesses
In the latest sign that the economic recovery may have lost whatever modest
oomph it had, more small businesses say that they are planning to shrink their
payrolls than say they want to expand them.

That is according to a new report released Tuesday by the National Federation

of Independent Business, a trade group that regularly surveys its membership
of small businesses across America.
The federation’s report for May showed the worst hiring prospects in eight
months. The finding provides a glimpse into the pessimism of the nation’s small
firms as they put together their budgets for the coming season, and depicts a
more gloomy outlook than other recent (if equally lackluster) economic
indicators because this one is forward-looking.
While big companies are buoyed by record profits, many small businesses,
which employ half of the country´s private sector workers, are still struggling to
break even. And if the nation’s small companies plan to further delay hiring —
or, worse, return to laying off workers, as they now hint they might — there is
little hope that the nation’s 14 million idle workers will find gainful employment
soon.
(A version of this article appeared in print on June 15, 2011, on page B1 of the New York edition with the headline: A Slowdown
for Small Businesses).
According to the text, judge the items below
24) Vladia/ Inédita /2012
____The federation´s report may show the worst hiring prospects in

eight months.
COMENTÁRIO:
Guys!! Olha o jogo de palavras que muda todo o sentido da frase!! O

texto diz “The federation’s report for May showed the worst hiring
prospects in eight months”, “May” = Maio. A assertiva traz “may” como
modal. Como saber diferenciar, teacher?!!? Meses do ano sempre é
redigida com letra maiúscula= May, June, July...Essa regra vale para
dias da semana também! Gostou da pegadinha?! Ficou ANGRY? Nunca
mais vai esquecer, não é?!
GABARITO: ERRADA.

______ as small companies are trying hard to gain an amount equal to the one
invested, big companies are cheered by their profits.
COMENTÁRIO:
A assertiva reescreve o trecho do texto. Olhe:

“While big companies are buoyed by record profits, many small
businesses, which employ half of the country´s private sector workers,
are still struggling to break even”.
Olha o vocabulário e seu meaning no texto!!!:
“Buoyed” = animado
“Struggling” = sofrendo, se esforçando
Vamos agora aos links, ou seja, ver as palavras que se encontram no mesmo
campo semântico.
• Buoyed by – cheered by
• Trying hard- struggling
• Break even- equal
• While = as

Então, o importante não é saber a tradução de cada um deles em separado,
mas saber quais pertencem ao mesmo grupo. Por isso os separei por grupos.
Colocarei em evidência aqueles que vejo com mais freqüência nas provas.

CESPE/ECT/2011
Text 1
It’s easy to suppose that we all feel the same way about global warming. After
all, everybody wants to save the world. We all want to make a contribution,
however small, and we all do our best. You aren’t one of those people who
wastes water. And I’ m sure you’ve got low-energy light bulbs in your house.
Not everyone is so enthusiastic, of course. Some people wonder what they can
do to help, and don’t really know what to do, until they find out by paying
attention to what the world’s scientists are saying. At least, we all hope this is
true.
Still, there are quite a lot of people who just hope that the problem will go
away. Why do they do this, we might ask. Don’t they want to make a
difference? Their usual response is “We don’t really know whether the climate is
changing”. Well, there’s plenty of evidence of climate change. We know that we
are wasting energy and polluting the planet. It’s all quite simple really. And if
you do know anyone who is still uncertain about whether to save the world or
not, your message to them should be clear. What are you waiting for? If you
think this is just somebody else’s problem, it will, very soon, be your problem
as well.

More than a century after women started campaigning for the right to vote, it
still seems that there aren’t enough women in position of power. In the world as
a whole, there have been very few female heads of state and in some countries
women hold hardly any political power. In industrialized countries where large
numbers of women work, it still happens that men earn two or three times as
much for doing the same job. Although there are a few successful female
business leaders, there are clearly many more men at the top. Many
people believe that this situation reflects the fact that women haven’t got
enough time to be successful in the work place, and in the home. There is too
much pressure on women, they say, to be good wives and mothers, and they
are at a disadvantage in the job market. However, there is quite a lot of
evidence to suggest that women can be more successful in the modern business
environment than men. Many modern business operations now depend on co-
operation and flexibility, and women are better at those skills than men. So it
may well be that in the future, quite a lot of important business will be run by
women, and it will be the men who earn lower wages or stay at home.

1 Privacy groups and lawmakers are calling for a new and


eavesdropping laws.
Late last week, the FCC reported that there was no legal
7 precedent to find fault with Google collecting unprotected
obstructing its investigation.
The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), a
13 national privacy watchdog, disagreed with the FCC findings. In
a letter sent to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder today, EPIC
asked that the Department of Justice investigate Google’s
16 surreptitious collecting of Wi-Fi data from residential networks.
U.S. Rep. Edward J. Markey, a senior member of the U.S.
House Energy and Commerce Committee, has also stepped into
19 the fray.
“The circumstances surrounding Google’s siphoning of
personal information leave many unanswered questions,”
22 Markey said today in an email to Computerworld. “I believe
Congress should immediately hold a hearing to get to the
bottom of this serious situation.”

Based on the text above it can be said that

______Google has been imposed a penalty for obstructing an investigation by a
US regulatory agency into its controversial data collection for its Street View
project.
_______ “surreptitious” (line.16) is synonymous with concealed.
______calls for a federal investigation came after the Federal Communications
Commission found that Google did not break the law as it collected personal
data on Wi-Fi networks.
_______States’ eavesdropping laws have been declared unconstitutional.
______ “fray” (line.19) is synonymous with fighting.

Government accountants and auditors work in the

public sector, maintaining and examining the records of
government agencies and auditing private businesses and
4 individuals whose activities are subject to government
regulations or taxation. Accountants employed by Federal,
State, and local governments ensure that revenues are received
7 and expenditures are made in accordance with laws and
regulations. Those employed by the Federal Government may
work as Internal Revenue Service agents or in financial
10 management, financial institution examination, or budget
analysis and administration.
Internal auditors verify the effectiveness of their
13 organization’s internal controls and check for mismanagement,
waste, or fraud. They examine and evaluate their firms’
financial and information systems, management procedures,
16 and internal controls to ensure that records are accurate and
controls are adequate. They also review company operations,
evaluating their efficiency, effectiveness, and compliance with
19 corporate policies and government regulations. Because
computer systems commonly automate transactions and make
22 management evaluate the effectiveness of their controls based
on real-time data, rather than personal observation. They may
recommend and review controls for their organization’s
25 computer systems to ensure their reliability and integrity of the
data. Internal auditors may also have specialty titles, such as
information technology auditors, environmental auditors, and
28 compliance auditors.
Technology is rapidly changing the nature of the work
of most accountants and auditors. With the aid of special
31 software packages, accountants summarize transactions in the
standard formats of financial records and organize data in
special formats employed in financial analysis. These
34 accounting packages greatly reduce the tedious work associated
with data management and recordkeeping. Computers enable
accountants and auditors to be more mobile and to use their
37 clients’ computer systems to extract information from
databases and the Internet. As a result, a growing number of
accountants and auditors with extensive computer skills
40 specialize in correcting problems with software or in
developing software to meet unique data management and
analytical needs. Accountants also are beginning to perform

43 more technical duties, such as implementing, controlling, and
auditing computer systems and networks and developing
technology plans. Internet: <www.bls.gov> (adapted).
Based on the text above, judge the following items.
14) Cespe/TCU/2011
________Automated transactions of computer systems have now been readily
replaced by personal observation.
15) Cespe/TCU/2011
________ Accounting packages significantly decrease the absorbing work linked

A Slow Down for Small Businesses
In the latest sign that the economic recovery may have lost whatever modest
oomph it had, more small businesses say that they are planning to shrink their
payrolls than say they want to expand them.
That is according to a new report released Tuesday by the National Federation

of Independent Business, a trade group that regularly surveys its membership
of small businesses across America.
The federation’s report for May showed the worst hiring prospects in eight
months. The finding provides a glimpse into the pessimism of the nation’s small
firms as they put together their budgets for the coming season, and depicts a
more gloomy outlook than other recent (if equally lackluster) economic
indicators because this one is forward-looking.
While big companies are buoyed by record profits, many small businesses,
break even. And if the nation’s small companies plan to further delay hiring —
or, worse, return to laying off workers, as they now hint they might — there is
little hope that the nation’s 14 million idle workers will find gainful employment
soon.
(A version of this article appeared in print on June 15, 2011, on page B1 of the New York edition with the headline: A Slowdown
for Small Businesses).

____The federation´s report may show the worst hiring prospects in

eight months.
