2 QUESTÕES DISCURSIVAS ESTAS QUESTÕES DEVERÃO SER RESPONDIDAS NAS FOLHAS DE RESPOSTAS DAS QUESTÕES DISCURSIVAS. 1. (15 pontos) To answer this question, take into account the following information. Research on Today's Internet For researchers, the expanding Internet means more more data, more collaboration, and more complex systems of interactions. And while not every university and research institution is hooked up to the vbns, all forms of the Internet have brought radical changes to the way research is conducted. Ken Weiss is an anthropologist at Penn State University and an NSF-supported researcher studying the worldwide genetic variability of humans. While he is not actively seeking a hook-up to the vbns, he says the Internet has had a significant impact on his research. For example, he uses constantly, finding it more convenient than the phone ever was. And he has access to much more data. He can download huge numbers of gene sequences from around the world and do research on specific genes. Weiss is an active user and enthusiast, but he does not necessarily agree that more is always better. "The jury is still out on some aspects, such as the exponential growth of databases, which may be outpacing our ability for quality control. Sometimes the data collection serves as a substitute for thought," says Weiss. Other disciplines are seeing an equally phenomenal surge of information. Researchers can now get many journals online when they once needed to work geographically close to a university library. The surge of data is both a boon and a problem for researchers trying to keep on top of their fields. But no one is asking to return to the pre-internet days, and no one is expecting the information growth to end. Excerpt from: Access: 04/10/2009 Taking into account that teachers are constantly on the lookout for quality authentic teaching materials, and the challenges inherent to the process of locating them online, compare the procedures involving those tasks, before and after the advent of the Internet. Write your answer in a clear handwriting. 2. (15 pontos) To answer this question, take into account the following information. Proficient reading comprehension comprises higher level cognitive processes such as relating what you are reading to what you already know, and creating inferential bridges to span between things that are written and things that your experience tells you must be true. Learning to read is learning many skills that work together and build on one another. Each time you improve any one skill, it strengthens all the others. As a professor at IFRN, you will have to teach reading skills involving not only technical manuals and software Help sections, but also all sorts of texts. Describe and exemplify at least five effective reading strategies to be included in a lesson plan for vocational students. Write your answer in a clear handwriting. PROFESSOR_LÍNGUA INGLESA.DOC 1

3 QUESTÕES DE MÚLTIPLA ESCOLHA AS RESPOSTAS DESTAS QUESTÕES DEVERÃO SER ASSINALADAS NA FOLHA DE RESPOSTAS DAS QUESTÕES DE MÚLTIPLA ESCOLHA. THE QUESTIONS 1 TO 5 REFER TO THE TEXT BELOW. El Dorado The legend of El Dorado lured thousands to their death. Originally it was thought that untold treasure would be found in the altitudes of the country that is now Colombia, where at a height of 10,000 feet is situated the desolate, grey, sacred lake of Guatavita, completely encircled by mountains. Unnumbered years before the Spaniards coming, the beautiful and proud wife of an Indian chief, to whom she had been unfaithful, climbed from the high tableland of Bogotá to this lonely spot and drowned herself in the cold waters of Guatavita. Every year thereafter the unhappy chief came to the lake with offerings of gold. For the ceremony priests first covered his naked body with resinous gums and then spread fine gold dust over him from head to foot, so that he had (as later chronicler recorded) a second skin of gold. While thousands of his tribe stood around the rim of the lake, the chief appeared, golden and splendid in the morning sun. The spectators chanted and thumped their drums as the gilded man climbed upon a raft that was piled with gold and emeralds. This balsa was then paddled out into the middle of the lake, and there El Dorado threw his offerings of gold and jewels into the water and himself dived in to wash off his golden skin. The throng around the shore shouted and tossed their own gifts of carved gold idols and ornaments into the depth. The story of this ceremony it is undoubtedly founded on fact fired the imagination of the Spaniards. They reached the lake, but never discovered the gold and jewels. Then, as Humboldt explained, the Indians, to get rid of the invaders, continually described the gold as being located elsewhere, a short distance ahead perhaps, across the mountains, or down the valley. The conquistadores heard of a tribe of warlike women in the south who were said to have quantities of gold, so El Dorado became associated with the Amazon. Later, El Dorado became identified with a legendary city named Manoa on an imaginary lake, Parima, in the Guianas. ( ) El Dorado developed into a golden mirage that moved over the whole continent, leading adventurous men forward to new exploits, new discoveries. ( ) Moreover, El Dorado became symbolical of an attitude to life. Excerpt from: PENDLE, George. A History of Latin America. Penguin books ltd., Middlesex, p (3,5 pontos) Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? a) The lake gold ceremony was instituted by the Spaniards. b) The Indians helped the conquistadores to reach the El Dorado. c) El Dorado is the name of a sacred lake in the Guianas. d) The legend of the El Dorado originated from a love story. 2. (3,5 pontos) At present, El Dorado may be understood as a) a representation of an adventurous approach to life. b) the symbol of the conquistadores and the Indians alliance. c) the city of the tribe of the warrior women in the Amazon. d) a ceremony in tribute to the gilded warrior of the past.

4 3. (3,5 pontos) In the passage, the word throng (line 14) may be substituted by a) chief. b) priest. c) multitude. d) superior. 4. (3,5 pontos) The passage states that a) the conquistadores got quantities of gold through the association with a warlike women tribe. b) El Dorado became a golden illusion, leading bold men to new deeds and findings in the continent. c) the El Dorado ceremony is a creation of the Spaniards imagination after they reached the lake. d) the spectators sang and played as long as the El Dorado dived and drowned in the cold lake. 5.

(3,5 pontos) Americans are considered crazy anywhere in the world. They will usually concede a basis for the accusation but point to California as the focus of the infection. Californians stoutly maintain that their bad reputation is derived solely from the acts of the inhabitants of Los Angeles County. Angelenos will, when pressed, admit the charge but explain hastily, "It's Hollywood. It's not our fault we didn't ask for it; Hollywood just grew." HEINLEIN, Robert A. And He Built a Crooked House. Street & Smith Publications, Inc From the excerpt of text above, we may infer that a) there has been an epidemic having California as the focus of infection. b) Angelenos blame on the film industry for the kind of reputation they hold. c) Hollywood is to blame for the Americans crazy fame around the world. d) Californians approve of the fame received from the Los Angeles County. 7. (3,5 pontos) The learning of vocabulary is the most noticeable feature of early months of language acquisition. From the point when a child s first word is identified, there is a steady lexical growth in both comprehension and production. An indication of the scope and speed of progress can be obtained from a study of American 1-year-olds; the average time it took eight children to get from 10 to 50 words in production was 4.8 months about 10 new words a month. In comprehension, the children understood an average of 22 new words each month (H. Benedict, 1979). By 18 months, it is thought that most children can speak about 50 words and understand about five times as many. Source: Crystal, David. The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language, Cambridge University Press, p It may be inferred from the passage that a) it takes almost five months for the children to speak their first ten words. b) with one year and six months of age children can understand around 250 words. c) the number of words understood and produced in their first year follow a steady growth. d) after a year and a half, children show equal performance in speaking and understanding.

Which basic type of ESP assessment matches with the description? a) Proficiency test b) Achievement test c) Placement test d) Polygraph test 9. (3,5 pontos) Language teachers who integrate technology into their classes usually have to deal with many kinds of students. Students who are primarily learners might seem to pay no attention while you give instructions, clicking on icons and leaping headlong onto the Web before they really know what to do. They will interrupt and ask a question as soon as they get stuck. They can be impatient or even uninterested in activities that do not allow them to physically control the keyboard or the mouse, and at times will dominate the computer so that other students never get a turn. Predominantly learners may panic if they cannot gaze a demonstration of the activity first nor have a diagram outlining the procedure, while strong learners are usually perfectly content to listen to all the steps before going ahead with the task, even though they may not be looking at you while you speak. According to the context, the missing words are, respectively, a) auditory, kinesthetic, linguistic. b) visual, linguistic, tactile. c) kinesthetic, visual, auditory. d) musical, tactile, auditory. 10.

(3,5 pontos) System Power Safety and Precautions IMPORTANT For operating safety and to avoid damage to the SMART Board interactive whiteboard you must connect the USB connector of the interactive whiteboard only to a computer that has a USB compliant interface and that bears the USB logo. In addition, the USB source computer must be compliant with CSA/UL/EN and bear the CE mark and CSA and/or UL mark(s) for CSA/UL If you are using an RS-232 serial expansion module, or a USB audio system, only use the power supply that came with that product. These products do use the same power supplies. Using the wrong power supply may create a safety hazard or damage the equipment. If in doubt, refer to the specification sheet for your product to verify the power supply type.

(3,5 pontos) The field of telecommunications, currently undergoing a revolutionary expansion in technology and significance, is not as yet a curriculum subject in the usual sense, but rather a conglomeration of topics from physics and electrotechnology. These texts have been selected to represent a cross-section of the major themes, together with their associated and characteristics; a comprehensive survey of the field would be beyond the of a single volume. The texts are, chosen from the British and American to illustrate a broad range of in telecommunications writing, including journalistic presentation for the non-specialist, general teaching material from current reference works and advanced technical manuals. It is not the intention to analyze or attempt to fully explain or define the technical concepts underlying the language use in these matters we defer to the other party in the ESP partnership, the specialist. Instead we are concerned with the way an is presented and developed in a telecommunications text, and the set of items which define each topic. Source: Davies, D. Telecommunications. Developing reading skills in English. Pergamon (Oxford), Choose the alternative that fills the text correctly. a) stylistic; lexical; argument; authentic; corpus; schemes; styles; textbooks; technical; scope. b) lexical; stylistic; scope; authentic; corpus; styles; textbooks; schemes; technical; argument. c) technical; lexical; scope; stylistic; authentic; corpus; styles; textbooks; schemes; argument. d) textbooks; styles; argument; technical; scope; lexical; stylistic; corpus; schemes; authentic.

(3,5 pontos) NTC s Dictionary of American English Pronunciation is ideal for native and nonnative speakers of English who would like to improve their ability to speak, spell, and read American English. Learning to pronounce and spell English words is especially difficult because some sounds of the language can be spelled in many different ways. For example, the phonetic symbol [ ] can be spelled in various ways, as illustrated in the following English words: Caesar, subpoena, Leigh, belief, quay. Pronunciation is especially difficult to learn because the correct pronunciation for each word, often, must be memorized rather than determined by the way it is spelled. Adapted from: Silverstein, B. NTC s Dictionary of American English Pronunciation, National Textbook Company, P. vii. Which phonetic symbol completes the text? a) [ з ] b) [ ə ] c) [ i ] d) [æ ] PROFESSOR_LÍNGUA INGLESA.DOC 6
