CESPE/CÂMARA/2012
Text 1
1- In order for young people to do better in school, it helps if they actually
are in school. Schools basically have two options when it comes to fighting
chronic truancy. There’s the positive approach, in which students are rewarded
with iPads, sneakers, gift cards, and other incentives merely for showing up at
5-school. Then there’s the flip side, in which students and parents are
penalized for unexcused absences. In the past, parents have been sentenced
to jail time for failing to get their children to school. Prosecutors have also
suggested jail time as a penalty for missing parent-teacher conferences. Now
there’s a school system in the news because its superintendent plans on fining
10-families $ 75 for each day a student skips school.
In New Britain, Connecticut, a new superintendent of schools named Kelt
Cooper wants to end high truancy rates among public school students, and
he’s proposing monetary penalties to get the job done. A plan to fine students
$ 75 per skipped school day is now being considered by New Britain council
15-members.
The concept of fining kids for skipping school may come as a shock, but
it’s not new. In Ohio, the guardians responsible for a student guilty of habitual
truancy can be fined up to $ 500 and/or be required to perform up to 70 hours
of community service. Until recently, students in Los Angeles could be hit with
a $ 250 penalty for each count of truancy; in early 2012 the law was amended
21-and the expensive fines were removed, though a $ 20 penalty may still be
handed out for the third offense.

______Some lawyers have considered the possibility of sending parents to
prison if they missed meetings with teachers.
COMENTÁRIO
A alternativa reescreve o trecho:
“Prosecutors have also suggested jail time as a penalty for missing parent-
teacher conferences.”

Veja as palavras usadas na alternativa e no texto que estão no mesmo campo

semântico:
TRECHO ALTERNATIVA
Prosecutor= promotor de justiça Lawyers= advogados
Jail= cadeia Prison= prisão
Missing= perdendo Missed= perdeu ( não compareceu )
Parent-teacher conferences= Meetings with teachers= reuniões com
conferência entre pais e mestres professores.
É sempre importante fazer esse link entre as palavras, Guys!!

GABARITO: CERTA
______Kelt Cooper’s proposal resulted in a debate about fining truancy in a
city of the state of Connecticut.
COMENTÁRIO
Para resolver essa questão precisamos saber essas palavras:
Truancy = ato de faltar aula.
Skip school day= matar aula
Agora, vamos achar no texto o nome próprio, Kelt Cooper, e ler todo o
trecho:
“In New Britain, Connecticut, a new superintendent of schools named Kelt

Cooper wants to end high truancy rates among public school students, and
he’s proposing monetary penalties to get the job done. A plan to fine students
$ 75 per skipped school day is now being considered by New Britain council
15-members.”
[Em New Britain, Connecticut, um novo superintendente de escolas chamado

Kelt Cooper quer acabar com as altas taxas de evasão escolar entre alunos de
escolas públicas, e ele está propondo sanções monetárias para ter o trabalho
feito. Um plano para multar estudantes em US $ 75 por dia de falta
injustificada agora está sendo considerado pelo conselho de 15 membros de
New Britain.]
GABARITO: CERTA
______The novelty of fining students who play truant is shocking to most
people in the USA.

COMENTÁRIO
A alternativa afirma que a novidade de multar estudantes que matam aula é
chocante para a maioria das pessoas nos EUA.
Cuidado pra não cair na ideia do senso comum...!

Você pode pensar: é realmente um absurdo isso! E marcar essa questão como
verdadeira já que o texto traz a palavra shock. Mas vamos reparar na
palavrinha MAY= pode ser.
Veja:
“The concept of fining kids for skipping school may come as a shock, but it’s
not new.”
[O conceito de multar as crianças que matam aula pode até chocar, mas não é
novo."
A alternativa generalizou bastante quando afirma: chocante para a maioria das

pessoas nos EUA.
GABARITO: ERRADA
______The article admits there are two ways of dealing with the problem of
truancy.
COMENTÁRIO
É isso aí pessoal! O texto realmente traz 2 maneiras de tratar esse assunto.
Uma abordagem positiva e o oposto, o outro lado.
“Schools basically have two options when it comes to fighting chronic truancy.
There’s the positive approach, in which students are rewarded with iPads,
sneakers, gift cards, and other incentives merely for showing up at 5-school.
Then there’s the flip side,…”
GABARITO: CERTA
______There are schools which award students iPads if they never miss a day
during a school year.
COMENTÁRIO

Essa tá tinhosa!! Eu ví até bons professores de Inglês errando essa questão!

Não basta saber o idioma, tem que ter a maldade de entender as pegadinhas
da banca!!
O texto diz que:
“There’s the positive approach, in which students are rewarded with iPads,
sneakers, gift cards, and other incentives merely for showing up at school.”
[Há uma abordagem positiva em que alunos são premiados com iPads, tênis,
cartões de presente, e outros incentivos por frequentar a escola.]
A alternativa especificou muito quando disse que premeiam alunos com iPads
se eles não faltem a nenhum dia de aula durante o ano.
O erro da questão está em NEVER= nunca.
Guys, vcs têm que estar atentos a generalizações de trechos que estão
especificados no texto, como aconteceu na questão número 3 , e o contrário
como aparece nessa questão!

CESPE/ANEEL/2010
Text 2
Europe and North Africa could be powered solely by renewable electricity by

2050 through the implementation of a “SuperSmart Grid”, according to a
report issued this week by global advisory firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
According to Energy Source, the achievement of 100 per cent renewable
electricity would address energy security and supply concerns, while
decarbonizing electricity generation and reducing energy poverty, according to
the study. The proposed SuperSmart Grid would allow load and demand
management for power independently of where and when the electricity is
generated. The system would capitalize on natural resources and established
weather patterns and would incorporate: southern Europe and North Africa’s
solar power potential; the hydro capability of Scandinavia and the European
Alps; onshore and offshore wind farms in the Baltic and the North Sea;
Europe’s potential for tidal and wave power; and biomass generation across
the continent. According to Gus Schellekens, director of sustainability and
climate change at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Europe is now at a crossroads,
where the choice and ability to achieve renewable power at scale is evident.
“Opportunities to use clean and affordable natural sources of electricity have
been flirted with over the past 150 years. This study lays out a clear
framework of how this time could be different”, he says. The dominant source
of European power is fossil fuels (55 per cent), while nuclear power provides
30 per cent and 15 per cent is derived from renewable sources. According to
the PwC study, a renewables-powered Europe would change the landscape for
consumers and business. Electro-mobility could be introduced on a mass scale,
eliminating the carbon costs of day-to-day transport for people and goods.
Internet: <www.powergenworldwide.com> (adapted).
Based on the text, judge the items below.
6) CESPE/ANEEL/2010
___ Europe and North Africa will be powered by renewable electricity in forty
years’ time.
COMENTÁRIO
Já que vocês já estudaram todos os Modal Verbs da Aula 2, essa está fácil, não
é?! O texto traz “could be” e a alternativa, “Will”
Sabemos que could be = pode ser, e will be = será
Veja o trecho:
“Europe and North Africa could be powered solely by renewable electricity by

2050…”
GABARITO: ERRADA
7) CESPE/ANEEL/2010
___ The complete substitution of the current sources would be directed to
energy security and supply concerns as well as decarbonizing electricity
generation and reducing energy poverty.
COMENTÁRIO
Achei muito difícil essa questão, pois a alternativa nos induz a marcar correta,
pois o erro é MUITO sutil!! Mas... vamos lá!!
O erro está no comecinho da assertiva!
Diferentemente da assertiva, o texto NÃO fala em substituição COMPLETA
das fontes atuais de energia, mas sim de se alcançar um patamar de 100% de
energia renovável. Não é possível dizer, pelo texto, que isso implica a TOTAL
substituição (complete substitution ) dos meios atuais...
Veja o trecho:

“According to Energy Source, the achievement of 100 per cent renewable

decarbonizing electricity generation and reducing energy poverty”
GABARITO: ERRADA

sinônimos e palavras que estão no mesmo campo semânticao!!
A resposta está abaixo:

been flirted with over the past 150 years.
• “have been flirted with” (= têm sido paquerado, sondado...) está no mesmo
campo semântico de “has been considered”( = têm sido considerado )
• Clean= not dirty= limpo ( a)
• Inexpensive= affordable= de pouco custo, acessível.
GABARITO: CERTA
11) CESPE/ANEEL/2010
____ electro-mobility introduced on a mass scale can make everyday transport
for people and goods cheaper.

• Everyday = day-to-day
• Goods= produtos
Vamos a alternativa agora!

“_____electro-mobility introduced on a mass scale can make everyday
transport for people and goods cheaper.”
Traduzindo:
[ Electromobilidade introduzida ( se for introduzida) em larga escala pode
tornar o transporte diário de pessoas e de mercadorias mais barato].
Perceba tanto o texto como a alternativa traz a electromobilidade como meio

de diminuir custos de transporte caso seja introduzida.

Text 3
Peak Oil for Dummies
by Tom Rogue - August 09, 2009
Over the past decade, a fierce debate has emerged amongst energy experts
about whether global oil production was about to reach a peak, followed by an
irreversible decline. This event, commonly known as “Peak Oil” far outreaches
the sole discipline of geology. From transportation to modern agriculture,
petrochemicals and even the pharmaceutical industry all of them rely on one
commodity: cheap and abundant oil. In order to sustain the needs of an ever
globalized world, oil demand should double by 2050. Nonetheless, geological
limitations will disrupt this improbable scenario. In fact, a growing proportion
of energy experts argue that Peak Oil is impending and warn about the
extraordinary scale of the crisis. According to the 2009 BP Statistical Review,
the world has precisely 42 years of oil left. Those numbers come from a very
simple formula, the R/P ratio, which consists of dividing the official number of
global oil reserves by the level of today’s production. Nevertheless, this
methodology is dangerously defective on several key points as it ignores
geological realities. Oil production does not consist of a plan level of production
that brutally ends one day; it follows a bell-shaped curve. Indeed, the
important day occurs when production starts to decline, not when it ends. As it
is a non-flexible commodity, even a small deficit in oil production can lead to a
major price surge.
Finally, the R/P ratio does not acknowledge that production costs increase over
the time; the first oil fields to be developed were logically the easy ones and so
the most profitable. It is well recognized that remaining oil fields consist of
poor quality oil or remotely located fields which need high technologies and
expensive investments. Therefore, relying on the R/P ratio gives a false
impression of security while the actual situation is critical.
Oil is a strategic resource; therefore having oil is a key political and economical
advantage for a state. This is why politics interfere in the evaluation of oil
reserves, especially in countries with poor accountability records; that is, the
majority of OPEC countries. In fact, OPEC oil reserves have dramatically
increased during the 1980s and 1990s. However, they have not discovered
major oil fields after the 1970s. At this conjuncture, the question of what lays
behind these fluctuations needs to be asked. The geologist Dr. Colin Campbell,
founder of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas (ASPO),explains
the hidden reasons that led to these changes: “In 1985, Kuwait, added 50% to
its reserve. At that time, the OPEC quota was based on the reported reserves
the more you reported, the more you could produce.” Fellow OPEC members
who were unwilling to see the influence of Kuwait growing, simply raised their
reserves soon after. Moreover, OPEC countries continue to present their
reserves as flat despite having extracted huge amounts of oil during the past
twenty years.
At this point, we should not forget that oil reserves reported by these countries
are not audited by independent experts. In 2006, the notorious Petroleum
Intelligence Weekly said it had access to confidential Kuwaiti reports which
stated that reserves were half the official numbers. The question of oil
reserves is most relevant. As oil exporting countries have less oil in their
ground, Peak Oil will arrive faster.
Oil optimists who argue Peak Oil is still decades away rely on these same
erroneous data.
In addition, if importing countries assume oil reserves are abundant as they
do, the crisis will be unexpected, unprepared and misunderstood; in one word:
overwhelming. Similarly, once oil shortages occur, oil importing countries may
assume that exporting countries are deliberately reducing their oil exports to
harm their national interests. Such a flawed assumption from oil importing
countries is likely to have serious repercussions, and eventually lead to new oil
wars.http://seekingalpha.com/article/154901-peak-oil-for-dummies, access on March 14, 2010.

Guys, aqui vai um tema que está na moda: CORRUPÇÃO
Brazilians rally against corruption http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-14830679
7 September 2011 Last updated at 19:35 GMT
The protesters say corrupt politicians are the real clowns
Thousands of people have joined anti-corruption demonstrations in

Brazil, as the country marks its Independence Day.
Wearing face paint and clown noses, protesters joined crowds watching the
traditional military parade in the capital, Brasilia. Similar protests were held in
other cities across Brazil. Three government ministers have left office amid
corruption allegations since President Dilma Rousseff took office in January.
Dozens of government officials have also lost their jobs or been arrested, and
several other ministers have been accused of corruption, though all deny
wrongdoing. Some of the protesters chanted slogans in support of President
Rousseff, who has promised a zero-tolerance approach to corruption. Others
gathered outside government ministries and the Congress with buckets and
mops in a symbolic gesture to wash away corruption.
'Pandemic'
The demonstration in Brasilia - dubbed the March Against Corruption - had no
political party affiliation. Many of the protesters were students, who organised
the demonstration using social networking websites.
22-VLADIA/INÉDITA/2012 It is correct to say from the text that:
a) Three ministers leave the Government every January.

b) Lots of Ministers have left Government since January

c) Three ministers have left the Government since January
d) Some Ministers are going to leave the Government next January.
e) Three Ministers will leave the Government by January
COMENTÁRIO
A questão trata de dois pontos: verb tenses e quantifiers. Vamos

relembrar?!
A lot of =Lots of = many = Muitos(as)

EX: A lot of students (or, many) have classes at night
Students.
SOME e ANY indicam quantidades indefinidas, e correspondem

aproximadamente ao nosso algum(ns) e alguma(s), às vezes a um pouco
de e no caso de ANY, nenhum ou nenhuma.
SOME é usado em sentenças afirmativas:

EX: I drink some water first thing in the morning.
ANY é usado em sentenças negativas e perguntas:

EX: There aren´t any students in the classroom.
EX: Do you have any money on you?
Vamos ao trecho do texto para respondermos a questão.

“Three government ministers have left office amid corruption allegations since
President Dilma Rousseff took office in January”.
a) ERRADA. A alternativa traz o tempo presente (leave). O trecho está

escrito com o tempo verbal chamado de Present Perfect (Have left ).
Este tempo verbal é utilizado para expressar algo que aconteceu no
passado, mas que de alguma forma se relaciona com o presente. Ele é
formado por:
verbo auxiliar have/has + verbo principal no Past Participle.
EX: I have lived here since 1998.

b) ERRADA. Lots of Ministers have left Government since January. Lots =
muitos.
c) CERTA.
d) ERRADA. Some Ministers are going to leaving the Government next
January. (próximo ).
Are going to leave…next January expressa futuro
e) ERRADA. Three Ministers will leave the Government by January. Will
expressa futuro.

Corruption, in Brasilia…
a) Was fully supported by many political parties.

b) Was arranged by some political parties.
c) Was thought by politicians.
d) Was carried out by public servants.
e) Was not linked to any political party.
COMENTÁRIO
Vamos ver o trecho do texto que trata da informação?
“…The demonstration in Brasilia - dubbed the March Against Corruption - had

In order for young people to do better in school, it helps if they actually
are in school. Schools basically have two options when it comes to fighting
chronic truancy. There’s the positive approach, in which students are rewarded
with iPads, sneakers, gift cards, and other incentives merely for showing up at
school. Then there’s the flip side, in which students and parents are penalized
for unexcused absences. In the past, parents have been sentenced to jail time
for failing to get their children to school. Prosecutors have also suggested jail
time as a penalty for missing parent-teacher conferences. Now there’s a school
system in the news because its superintendent plans on fining families $ 75 for
each day a student skips school.
24
In New Britain, Connecticut, a new superintendent of schools named Kelt

Cooper wants to end high truancy rates among public school students, and he’s
proposing monetary penalties to get the job done. A plan to fine students $ 75
per skipped school day is now being considered by New Britain council
members.
The concept of fining kids for skipping school may come as a shock, but
it’s not new. In Ohio, the guardians responsible for a student guilty of habitual
truancy can be fined up to $ 500 and/or be required to perform up to 70 hours
of community service. Until recently, students in Los Angeles could be hit with a
$ 250 penalty for each count of truancy; in early 2012 the law was amended
and the expensive fines were removed, though a $ 20 penalty may still be
handed out for the third offense.
Internet: <http://moneyland.time.com> (adapted).
______Some lawyers have considered the possibility of sending parents to
prison if they missed meetings with teachers.
______Kelt Cooper’s proposal resulted in a debate about fining truancy in a
city of the state of Connecticut.
______The novelty of fining students who play truant is shocking to most
people in the USA.
______The article admits there are two ways of dealing with the problem of
truancy.
______There are schools which award students iPads if they never miss a day
during a school year.

Peak Oil for Dummies
by Tom Rogue - August 09, 2009
Over the past decade, a fierce debate has emerged amongst energy experts
about whether global oil production was about to reach a peak, followed by an
irreversible decline. This event, commonly known as “Peak Oil” far outreaches
the sole discipline of geology. From transportation to modern agriculture,
petrochemicals and even the pharmaceutical industry all of them rely on one
commodity: cheap and abundant oil. In order to sustain the needs of an ever
globalized world, oil demand should double by 2050. Nonetheless, geological
limitations will disrupt this improbable scenario. In fact, a growing proportion of
energy experts argue that Peak Oil is impending and warn about the
extraordinary scale of the crisis. According to the 2009 BP Statistical Review,
the world has precisely 42 years of oil left. Those numbers come from a very
simple formula, the R/P ratio, which consists of dividing the official number of
global oil reserves by the level of today’s production. Nevertheless, this
methodology is dangerously defective on several key points as it ignores
geological realities. Oil production does not consist of a plan level of production
that brutally ends one day; it follows a bell-shaped curve. Indeed, the
important day occurs when production starts to decline, not when it ends. As it
is a non-flexible commodity, even a small deficit in oil production can lead to a
major price surge.
Finally, the R/P ratio does not acknowledge that production costs increase over
the time; the first oil fields to be developed were logically the easy ones and so
the most profitable. It is well recognized that remaining oil fields consist of
poor quality oil or remotely located fields which need high technologies and
expensive investments. Therefore, relying on the R/P ratio gives a false
impression of security while the actual situation is critical.
27
Oil is a strategic resource; therefore having oil is a key political and economical
advantage for a state. This is why politics interfere in the evaluation of oil
reserves, especially in countries with poor accountability records; that is, the
majority of OPEC countries. In fact, OPEC oil reserves have dramatically
increased during the 1980s and 1990s. However, they have not discovered
major oil fields after the 1970s. At this conjuncture, the question of what lays
behind these fluctuations needs to be asked. The geologist Dr. Colin Campbell,
founder of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas (ASPO),explains
the hidden reasons that led to these changes: “In 1985, Kuwait, added 50% to
its reserve. At that time, the OPEC quota was based on the reported reserves
the more you reported, the more you could produce.” Fellow OPEC members
who were unwilling to see the influence of Kuwait growing, simply raised their
reserves soon after. Moreover, OPEC countries continue to present their
reserves as flat despite having extracted huge amounts of oil during the past
twenty years.
At this point, we should not forget that oil reserves reported by these countries
are not audited by independent experts. In 2006, the notorious Petroleum
Intelligence Weekly said it had access to confidential Kuwaiti reports which
stated that reserves were half the official numbers. The question of oil
reserves is most relevant. As oil exporting countries have less oil in their
ground, Peak Oil will arrive faster.
Oil optimists who argue Peak Oil is still decades away rely on these same
erroneous data.
In addition, if importing countries assume oil reserves are abundant as they do,
the crisis will be unexpected, unprepared and misunderstood; in one word:
overwhelming. Similarly, once oil shortages occur, oil importing countries may
assume that exporting countries are deliberately reducing their oil exports to
harm their national interests. Such a flawed assumption from oil importing
countries is likely to have serious repercussions, and eventually lead to new oil
wars.
