Gosling is
a) what does that feel like.
b) what that feels like.

d) if does that feel like.
e) if what does that feel like.
QUESTÃO 02
The number of injuries suffered by children while they’re in school is
on the rise. Many times, these injuries are normal accidents that couldn’t be
avoided, but there are also injuries that occur due to fault or negligence of
the teachers, the school administration, or the janitorial staff and it’s up to
the school district and the administrators to reduce the risk of child injury
whenever and wherever possible.
According to recent statistics, 55% of all major accidents in schools
are caused by slips, falls, and trips. The most common place for these types of
accidents to take place are in the corridors, playgrounds, and stairs of the
school. Additionally, a child injury can occur in the classroom due to
backpacks being left in an aisle way, cables to TV’s and computers not being
properly secured, among other circumstances.
While some slips, falls, and trips may be hard to avoid, many of these
school accidents could be prevented in schools by simple proactive or
preventative efforts.

trips.

e) some slips, falls, and trips may be hard to avoid.
QUESTÃO 03
Pushing back against the tide: Vanuatu’s climate
fight
Mounds of heavy stones are all that protects Jeffrey Daniels’ home from
the waves that wash onto tiny Emao, an island dotting the Pacific nation of
Vanuatu. But the makeshift dams can’t stop his village from flooding during
fierce tropical cyclones, tidal surges, or simply a heavy downpour.
“When the rain comes, we feel trapped as if we were standing on a ship,”
Daniels said.
His home is located on an island strip less than 70 metres wide. When
Daniels was a child, this land was twice as wide. Now his home and his village
of Marow are vanishing, losing ground to the sea year by year. Where he used to
play football, today there are only floating boats.
“If the sea levels continue to rise, this village will disappear,” he
said. “Our community will disappear.”
Afraid that rising sea levels will swallow Marow within a few years, the
entire village is planning to move to higher ground – a costly relocation that
few here can afford. Many have already left for good, migrating to the capital,
Port Vila, in search of work.
For Daniels, it’s the clearest sign of how climate change is disrupting
lives and forcing vulnerable communities to adapt or go away.

The people who live on the island of Emao, one of the many that make up
Vanuatu, have recently…
a) had their homes destroyed by a tropical cyclone.
b) seen the price of their homes rise to high values.
c) been negatively affected by the rising of the sea.
d) abandoned football because land is too expensive.
e) been in a revolution, with the poor losing their homes.
QUESTÃO 04
When human activities produce greenhouse gases, around half of the
emissions remain in the atmosphere, while the other half is absorbed by the
land and ocean. These ecosystems – and the biodiversity they contain – are
natural carbon sinks, providing so-called nature-based solutions to climate
change.
Protecting, managing, and restoring forests, for example, offers roughly
two-thirds of the total mitigation potential of all nature-based solutions.
Despite massive and ongoing losses, forests still cover more than 30 per cent
of the planet’s land.

Analyze these sentences as right or wrong according to the information
in the text.
I. The oceans and the land absorb approximately 50% of the greenhouse
gases that humans produce.
II. More than 30% of the forests on Earth have been lost due to
deforestation.
III. Nature-based solutions to climate change are provided by the land,
the ocean and the biodiversity in them.
Which of the sentences are correct?
a) Only I and II.
b) Only II and III.
c) Only I and III.
d) All of them.
e) None of them.
QUESTÃO 05
The largest extinction in Earth’s history marked the end of the Permian
period, some 252 million years ago. Long before dinosaurs, our planet was
populated with plants and animals that were mostly obliterated after a series
of massive volcanic eruptions in Siberia.
Fossils in ancient seafloor rocks display a thriving and diverse marine
ecosystem, then a swath of corpses. Some 96 percent of marine species were
wiped out during the “Great Dying,” followed by millions of years when life had
to multiply and diversify once more.
What has been debated until now is exactly what made the oceans
inhospitable to life – the high acidity of the water, metal and sulfide
poisoning, a complete lack of oxygen, or simply higher temperatures.
New research from the University of Washington and Stanford University
combines models of ocean conditions and animal metabolism with published lab
data and paleoceanographic records to show that the Permian mass extinction in
the oceans was caused by global warming that left animals unable to breathe. As
temperatures rose and the metabolism of marine animals sped up, the warmer
waters could not hold enough oxygen for them to survive. The study is published
in the Dec. 7 [2018] issue of Science.
Stanford University. Available at:
https://earth.stanford.edu/news/what-caused-earths-biggest-mass-extinction
It is now believed that…
a) animals were unable to breathe in the Permian period due to acid waters.
b) the same conditions that caused the “Great Dying” are coming back.
c) the “Great Dying” was caused by human-provoked global warming.
d) ocean waters became too hot, causing the “Great Dying”.
e) volcanoes in Siberia are causing global warming again.
