and UNICEF Ecuador-Arcos (right). The role of indigenous women in the
preservation and transmission of traditional knowledge Indigenous women are the
backbone of indigenous peoples’ communities and play a crucial role in the
preservation and transmission of traditional ancestral knowledge. They have an
integral collective and community role as carers of natural resources and keepers of
scientific knowledge. Many indigenous women are also taking the lead in the defense
of indigenous peoples’ lands and territories and advocating for indigenous peoples’
collective rights worldwide. However, despite the crucial role indigenous women play
in their communities as breadwinners, caretakers, knowledge keepers, leaders and
human rights defenders, they often suffer from intersecting levels of discrimination on
the basis of gender, class, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Indigenous women
particularly suffer high levels of poverty; low levels of education and illiteracy;
limitations in the access to health, basic sanitation, credit and employment; limited
participation in political life; and domestic and sexual violence. Besides, their right to
self-determination, self-governance and control of resources and ancestral lands
have been violated over centuries. Small but significant progress has been made by
indigenous women in decision-making processes in some communities, achieving
leadership in communal and national roles, and stood on the protest frontlines to
defend their lands and the planet’s decreasing biodiversity. The reality, however,
remains that indigenous women are widely under-represented, disproportionately
negatively affected by decisions made on their behalf, and are too frequently the
victims of multiple expressions of discrimination and violence. This International Day
of Indigenous Peoples, let’s reclaim the role of these heroines. Disponível em:

Texto 17. a) Apesar do papel de destaque que as mulheres indígenas têm
atualmente em suas comunidades, há um número considerável de jovens indígenas
que não consegue encontrar emprego no município, nem no estado em que seu
povo ancestral está situado, situação que é identificada também em outros países.
b) As mulheres indígenas são o alicerce de suas comunidades, onde a maioria

entre os quais acesso à saúde e à educação básica. c) Embora sejam “o pilar” de
suas comunidades, onde têm um papel coletivo e comunitário como cuidadoras e
detentoras do conhecimento científico, as mulheres indígenas sofrem com altos
níveis de pobreza e baixa escolaridade, além de limitações no aceso à saúde e
violações dos direitos ao longo dos séculos. d) As mulheres indígenas, pela
relevância que têm em suas localidades, alcançaram progressos importantes entre
as representações comunitárias atuais, conseguindo lideranças em âmbito nacional,
principalmente aquelas que moram próximo a grandes centros urbanos deste país e
lá fora. e) As comunidades indígenas que não assimilaram bem os costumes e a
cultura dos colonizadores são aquelas que apresentam um nível mais alto de
esclarecimento, além de um número expressivo de ações exigindo os direitos das
mulheres e das crianças indígenas no âmbito educacional. 12. In the excerpt

for questions 33, 34, and 35. Skydiving: an amazing experience! INGLÊS by:
ChloeBlogger When I was 16, I wrote a bucket list. This was a list of things that I
wanted to do in my lifetime. One of the things on my bucket list was to do a skydive.
Two years ago, I spent three months travelling 1 South America. We visited so many
places and it was a great experience. One of the most amazing things we saw was
Iguassu Falls. The day after we visited the waterfalls we were relaxing in a hostel in
Brazil, having breakfast. My friend then suddenly noticed an advert on the wall saying
'skydive 2 Iguassu Falls today!' We looked at each other and decided it was time to
do 3 crazy. That afternoon we were picked up and taken to the Skydive Centre. We
put on our harnesses and helmets and we were given some instructions. After
signing a few papers, we were on our way to the plane! 4 14 of us in a very small
space as we took off into the air. This is when my heart started to beat very fast and I
felt lots of adrenaline. Suddenly we were 10,000 feet (3,000 metres) above the
ground. Luckily, I was strapped to an instructor so I didn't have to worry about 5 ; I
just had to enjoy myself. He asked me if I was ready to fall from the plane ... but
before I had time to answer, I felt the wind rushing against my face as we fell to the
ground at 200 km an hour! Everything 6 me looked so small and my breath was
literally taken away. After about 20 seconds of falling, the parachute opened and
everything slowed down. We floated peacefully towards earth, leaving the clouds 7
us. This was definitely one of the scariest 2 3 4 5 1 but most exhilarating experiences
of my life. I think that everyone should do something that scares them once in a
while! Disponível em:

Text 02 for questions 36, 37, and 38. The Myth of Sustainable Fashion Few
industries proclaim their sustainability credentials more forcefully than the fashion
industry. Products ranging from swimsuits to wedding dresses are marketed as
carbon positive, organic, or vegan while yoga mats made from mushrooms and
sneakers from sugar cane dot retail shelves. New business models including
recycling, resale, rental, reuse, and repair are sold as environmental life savers. The
sad truth however is that all this experimentation and supposed “innovation” in the
fashion industry over the past 25 years have failed to lessen its planetary impact — a
loud wake up call for those who hope that voluntary efforts can successfully address
climate change and other major challenges facing society. Take the production of
shirts and shoes, which has more than doubled in the past quarter century — three
quarters end up burned or buried in landfills. This feels like a personal failure of sorts.
For many years, I was the COO of Timberland, a footwear and clothing brand that
aspired to lead the industry toward a more sustainable future. The reasons for the
industry’s sustainability letdown are complicated. Pressure for implacable growth
summed with consumer demand for cheap, fast fashion have been great
contributors. 1 2 3 The precise negative environmental impact of the fashion industry
remains unknown, but it is enormous. The industry’s boundaries spread globally and
its multitiered supply chain remains complex and opaque. Thanks to trade
liberalization, globalization, and enduring cost pressures, very few brands own the
assets of their upstream factories, and most companies outsource final production.
“There are still very, very few brands who know where their stuff comes from in the
supply chain, and even fewer of them have entered into active relationships with
those suppliers to reduce their carbon footprint,” says environmental scientist Linda
Greer. Estimates of the industry’s carbon impact range from 4% to 10% of overall
global carbon emissions. Like all industries, fashion is nested in a broader system. It
is a system premised on growth. While serving as an executive in the industry, never
once did a CFO ask me if the business could contract to yield a more durable
customer base. This obstinate pursuit of growth, of “more,” drives strategies that are
specific to the fashion industry. Despite the improvements in technology and
communications, predicting demand across tens of styles that are launched
seasonally is much easier than doing the same for thousands of styles released
monthly. Therefore, fashion inventories inevitably accumulate, and 40% of fashion
goods are sold at a markdown. “The urge to sell more and get consumers to buy
more is still in the DNA of the industry,” says Michael Stanley-Jones, co-secretary for
the UN Alliance for Sustainable Fashion. “Clothes have a very short life span and
end up in the dump.” The speed of this hedonic treadmill continues to ramp up
exponentially. Five years ago, McKinsey reported that shorter production lead times
enabled by technology and revised business systems enabled brands to “introduce
new lines more frequently. Zara offers 24 new clothing collections each year; H&M
offers 12 to 16 and refreshes them weekly.” This acceleration and proliferation of
“newness” served as a constant draw to bring consumers back to sites and stores.

Alliance for Sustainable Fashion, says “Clothes have a very short life span and end
up in the dump”. What did he mean? a) Clothes are very expensive and it’s not worth
investing in fashion anymore. b) Nowadays fashion varies a lot and young people

2023 Text 01 for questions 25, 26, and 27. A NEW ALTERNATIVE TO CAR
OWNERSHIP Image: https://unsplash.com/s/photos/car-sharing New drivers are
usually excited about their new freedom: “My mom doesn’t have to drive me
everywhere anymore! I don’t have to ask my friends for rides to school!” When you
don’t have your own car yet, any price seems worth paying. But once you buy a car,
you can’t forget your car payments and insurance premiums, or you won’t be a driver
for very long. You can’t leave gas and maintenance out of the budget either. Car
sharing offers an alternative to these problems, however. Members of carsharing
groups have a car when they need one for either short trips of vacations, but they
don’t have the high expenses of ownership. They pay very little to use a shared car,
and they don’t have to worry about maintaining the car or paying the insurance. Fees
for short trips are only about $3.00 an hour plus $0,50 per mile. Groups do not have
strict requirements either. Members must not have bad driving records or poor credit,
and they must not return the cars in poor shape or they will pay extra. FUCHS, M.;
BONNER, M. Grammar Express. New York: Longman, 2000. p.148. (Adaptado). 10.

cars in poor shape without paying extra. 11. Accordind to the text, members of
carsharing a) have the same high expenses of ownership. b) have dificulties to have
a car when they need one. c) have many expenses to use a shared car. d) don’t have

for questions 30, 31, 32, and 33. Dear Coldplay, listen to Massive Attack and save
yourselves from greenwashing Coldplay had a head full of dreams this week when
they announced the details of a low-emission world tour driven by concerns for
sustainability. Some of the green interventions are well-meaning, other are just
gimmicks, such as a kinetic dance floor that generates electricity from the movement
of fans. However, the detail of some of the proposed climate measures would appal
even the mildly eco-minded. Perhaps worst of all is the partnership with Neste – a
Finnish oil refining and marketing corporation that will provide the band with
“sustainable aviation fuel” for flights and “renewable diesel” for tour transportation
and stage power generation. Lead singer Chris Martin, on their current Music of the
Spheres tour. Photograph: Getty Images. 2 1 Neste claims to be the world’s biggest
biofuel company, processing 1.3m tonnes of palm oil and palm oil products into fuel
in 2019, according to Friends of the Earth. Biofuels are composed of animals or plant
waste, such as ethanol derived from maize, and are therefore marketed as
“renewable”. The problems start with the huge land area growing crops for biofuel
can require, often driving land grabs and presenting insurmountable challenges to
food security. Besides this, biofuel production is hardly a climatic or ecological
paradise – it causes severe emissions and habitat and biodiversity loss through
deforestation. You could excuse the band’s headlong dive into what critics have
called “greenwash” as a rush of blood to the head – had they not announced a pause
on touring in 2019 until they could do so carbon neutrally. Three years later, they
thought halfway was good enough, with their 2022 tour project to be 50% lower in
emissions than their last, with the other half achieved through offsetting.
Decarbonizing live music is necessary, laudable and a daunting task. But, like many
facets of the climate world, the real routes to cutting emission are rarely sexy.
Coldplay are not the first to explore this, with Radiohead attempting a low-carbon tour
in 2008, making use of alternative travel and local equipment hiring. More recent
contenders for green rock stars include Massive Attack, who have argued that the
challenge is “to avoid more pledges, promises and greenwashing headlines and
instead embrace seismic change”. Massive Attack’s report suggests less aviation,
rather than celebrating alternative fuels, is necessary. Scepticism of sustainable
aviation fuels, after all, is justified: they have been promised for decades, but only
accounted for 0.01% of jet fuel in 2019. Importantly, Massive Attack eschew carbon
offsets, currently the go-to climate solution for most eco-minded people in the music
industry. Coldplay say they will make their tour “neutral” by offsetting the other half
through technologies like carbon capture and storage. But campaigners and climate
scientists have long argued offsetting should be reserved only for
“hard-to-decarbonize” sectors – think the cement industry, not gigs. Otherwise, it
simply provides a quick fix excuse for the rich and famous who plan to pollute now
and offset later. Of course, not all of Coldplay’s efforts are for show, and it is an
admirable step down the path to zero-emissions music. But to really make an impact,
more consideration should be put into what they are indirectly promoting with the
emissions reductions schemes. Perhaps this could start with a conscious uncoupling
from Neste. Disponível em:

among them, as it makes constant donations of carbon credits. c) among the green
interventions adopted by Coldplay for their world tour, some are good, but others are
just gimmicks, and the proposed climate measures could impact even the most
moderate of ecologists. d) Coldplay is not trying to adopt green solutions for the

question 20) A Giant Telescope Grows in Chile LAS CAMPANAS OBSERVATORY,
Chile – To walk among the observatory domes of the Atacama Desert is to brush
your hair with the stars. The Atacama, on a plateau high in the Chilean Andes, is one
of the driest and darkest places in the world. During the day one can see to Bolivia,
far to the east, where clouds billow into thunderstorms that will never moisten this
region. At night, calm, unruffled winds off the Pacific Ocean produce some of the
most incredible stargazing conditions on Earth. One evening in late January the sky
was so thick with stars that the bones of the constellations blurred into the
background. The Milky Way, our home galaxy, was rolling straight overhead, and the
Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, satellite galaxies of our own, floated alongside
like ghosts. The Southern Cross, that icon of adventure and romance, loomed
unmistakably above the southern horizon. In the last half-century, astronomers from
around the world have flocked to Chile and its silky skies, and now many of the
largest telescopes on Earth have taken root along a sort of observatory alley that
runs north-south for some 800 miles along the edge of the Atacama. By Dennis
