How computers will soon get under our skin
By Steve Connor, Science Editor
12 August 2011
It may soon be possible to wear your computer or mobile phone under your
sleeve, with the invention of an ultra-thin and flexible electronic circuit that can be
stuck to the skin like a temporary tattoo. The device, which is almost invisible, can
perform just as well as more conventional electronic machines but without the need
for wires or bulky power supplies, scientists said. The development could mark a
new era in consumer electronics. The technology could be used for applications
ranging from medical diagnosis to covert military operations.
The “epidermal electronic system” relies on a highly flexible electrical circuit
composed of snake-like conducting channels that can bend and stretch without
affecting performance. The circuit is about the size of a postage stamp, is thinner
than a human hair and sticks to the skin by natural electrostatic forces rather
than glue. “We think this could be an important conceptual advance in wearable
electronics, to achieve something that is almost unnoticeable to the wearer. The
technology can connect you to the physical world and the cyberworld in a very
natural way that feels comfortable,” said Professor Todd Coleman of the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who led the research team.
A simple stick-on circuit can monitor a person’s heart rate and muscle movements
as well as conventional medical monitors, but with the benefit of being weightless
and almost completely undetectable. Scientists said it may also be possible to build
a circuit for detecting throat movements around the larynx in order to transmit the
information wirelessly as a way of recording a person’s speech, even if they are not
making any discernible sounds.
Tests have already shown that such a system can be used to control a voiceactivated computer game, and one suggestion is that a stick-on voicebox circuit
could be used in covert police operations where it might be too dangerous to speak
into a radio transmitter. “The blurring of electronics and biology is really the key point
here,” said Yonggang Huang, professor of engineering at Northwestern University in
Evanston, Illinois. “All established forms of electronics are hard, rigid. Biology is soft,
elastic. It’s two different worlds. This is a way to truly integrate them.”
Engineers have built test circuits mounted on a thin, rubbery substrate that
adheres to the skin. The circuits have included sensors, light-emitting diodes,
transistors, radio frequency capacitors, wireless antennas, conductive coils and
solar cells. “We threw everything in our bag of tricks on to that platform, and then
added a few other new ideas on top of those, to show that we could make it work,”
said John Rogers, professor of engineering at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, a lead author of the study, published in the journal Science.

Longevity: Habits May Extend Life Only So Much
By Nicholas Bakalar – August 8, 2011
The eating, drinking and exercise habits of extremely old but healthy people differ
little from those of the rest of us, a new study has found. Gerontologists at the
Albert Einstein College of Medicine recruited 477 Ashkenazi Jews ages 95 to 112
who were living independently. The researchers took blood samples, did physical
examinations and obtained detailed personal and medical histories from each
participant. Then they compared them with 1,374 non-Hispanic white adults, ages
65 to 74, from the general population. For both men and women, consumption of
alcohol, amount of physical activity and the percentage of people on low-calorie or
low-salt diets were almost identical in the two groups.
Long-lived men were less likely to be obese than their younger counterparts,
although no less likely to be overweight. The oldest women were more likely to
be overweight and less likely to be obese. More men among the oldest were
nonsmokers, but smoking habits were not significantly different among the women.
43 that it all depends on genes, and we might as well eat, drink and be merry?
No, according to the senior author, Dr. Nir Barzilai, director of the Institute for Aging
Research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. “For most of us who 44 genes for
longevity,” he said, “if you follow the healthy lifestyle the medical community has put
forth, you are 45 to live past 80.”
The study was published online last week in The Journal of the American
Geriatrics Society.
(www.nytimes.com. Adaptado.)
40 According to the text,
A) independent elderly people are more likely to live more and in a healthy way.
B) the research compared two groups: one of men aged from 95 to 112 and one of women
aged from 65 to 74.
C) the study concluded that extremely old people do not have significantly different eating,
drinking and exercise habits from the rest of the population.
D) women in the oldest group were more likely to be nonsmokers when compared to women
in the 65 to 74 group.
E) non-Hispanic white adults tend to live less than Ashkenazi Jews, probably because of their
lifestyle.

Famine in the Horn of Africa
How have things changed?
IN THE worst hunger crisis the world has seen this century, in the Horn of Africa,
29,000 children may already have perished. More are certain to. But apart from
hand-wringing, what have been the reactions to the famine?
The world might think it has moved on since the Ethiopian famine of 1984-85.
But charities are using the same emotive photos they used then to pitch for money.
Television cameras are just as intrusive—perhaps more so. Camera crews have
been thrown out of a hospital in the Dadaab refugee camp, in Kenya, in an effort
to preserve the dignity of the patients. “Without pictures it is difficult to get action,”
laments an Ethiopian government official. Even so, the media cycle has changed
since the pre-internet days. So has Africa itself.
The celebrity appeal for this famine is coming from Africans themselves. An
organisation called Africans Act 4 Africa says it wants to gather together African
stars to raise money and awareness. It claims Kenyans have already texted in $2m
in donations on their mobile phones. If it continues to have a voice on Facebook and
Twitter, Act 4 Africa’s bigger influence may be to compel African governments to be
more generous. The United Nations says it has only $1.3 billion of the $2.4 billion
it needs to assist the 12m people in need in the region. However ambiguous those
numbers are, there is no doubting the miserable response of African countries so
far. Only a handful have pledged anything. The biggest contribution has come from
South Africa. But it has given just $1m and a planeload of food, though its farmers
profiting from rising food prices. More positive has been the response of African
businesses. Kenyan companies have given $4m in famine relief. Abdirashid Duale,
the owner of Dahabshiil, Somalia’s biggest money transfer company, has given
$100,000. “Just the beginning,” Mr. Duale says.
The famine has prompted a shift in American foreign policy, for now at least.
Robert Paarlberg, a food policy expert at Wellesley College, argues that the American
administration has focused on counter-terrorism in Somalia at the expense of
investing in agriculture or helping the people. Now the secretary of state, Hillary
Clinton, says America will not prosecute charities who deal with the al-Qaeda-linked
Shabab militia as long as they are engaged in “good-faith” efforts to help the dying.
Mr. Paarlberg argues that the famine in the 1980s coincided with a drop in official
American funding for farmers in Africa. Again, Mrs. Clinton seems determined not
to make the same mistake. She underlined the importance of spending on longterm recovery in the Horn of Africa during a visit to an agriculture think-tank in
Washington, DC.
7
ESPM – 2012
The Ethiopian and Kenyan governments have been particularly torn in their
response to the famine. Ethiopia says it needs more cash from donors to feed
5m of its 82m people. But it is also desperate to avoid being defined again by
hunger. Prime Minister Meles Zenawi made a state visit to China last week to extol
investment opportunities. A $163m deal by a Dutch brewer, Heineken, to buy up
two state-owned Ethiopian beer labels, with ambitions to replace German malt with
local malt, is just one example of the bustle away from the famine.

41 The main idea of the text is
A) to advertise the aid given to starving people by celebrities in the Horn of Africa.
B) to feature the famine in the Horn of Africa once again and the skimpy assistance to combat it.
C) to stress the low priority the U.S. give when it comes to help foreign countries in need, in
contrast to their war policy.
D) to warn against starvation in the Horn of Africa and how the corporative world took on the
responsability of providing help.
E) to highlight the charities engaged in ‘good-faith’ efforts to combat hunger in the Horn of
Africa, despite their ties with terrorism.
42 The underlined ‘as long as’ could be replaced, without changing its meaning, by
A) nevertheless.
B) instead of.
C) regardless of.
D) providing that.
E) besides.
A) charity organizations have been using the 1984-85 photos to gather money to fight against
the African famine.
B) patients of a hospital in Dadaab refugee camp are not very keen on getting exposed by the
media.
C) both the media and Africa have changed along with the internet in terms of assistance to the
famine in Africa.
D) the Kenyans have been using their cell phones to donate large amounts of money for the
fight against hunger.
E) the Act 4 Africa is likely to force the African governments to spend money in the attempt to
rid of the famine in the Horn of Africa.
8
ESPM – 2012
A) few but important African countries have vowed to combat the famine issue.
B) even making a lot of money from agricultural commodities, African farmers have donated $ 1m in food onboard airplanes.
C) the U.S. foreign policy is more prone to concentrate efforts on combatting terrorism than in
giving a hand to people at stake of starving.
D) Mr. Paarlberg stated the hunger in the 1980s was barely because the Americans cut off their
farming support to Africa.
E) two state-owned Ethiopian breweries were bought up by German label Heinecken in order
to get rid of the famine.

Space Junk Keeps Fallin’ on My Head
If you knew what was going on above your head, you probably wouldn’t sleep at
night. It was 54 years ago this week that the first satellite — Russia’s little Sputnik
— went into orbit, and in the half-century since, we’ve made travel to near-earth
space largely routine. That, by almost any measure, is a good thing, but like so
many good things human beings build or do or achieve, a very bad thing comes
along with it: junk.
For every spacecraft that goes into orbit, all kinds of rubbish — bolts, boosters,
adapter rings, insulation, even paint chips — are also released. Five decades of that
kind of littering has created a very big mess: according to tallies from NASA, NORAD
(North American Aerospace Defense Command), the Federal Communications
Commission and other domestic and international agencies, there are currently
17,000 objects measuring 4 in. (10 cm) or greater circling the earth. There are
a whopping 200,000 in the 1-in. to 3-in. (2.5 cm to 7.5 cm) range, and millions
smaller than an inch.
Many of those objects in the largest category are much, much larger than a
mere 4 in. (10 cm). Indeed, they are entire spacecraft themselves. Aged satellites
— some the size of a school bus and weighing on the order of tons — that have
outlived their usefulness often wind up simply drifting through space like an
abandoned barge. In late September, a 6-ton NASA research satellite, launched in
1991, came plummeting home, falling safely into the south Pacific, but not before
causing a lot of scientists a lot of jitters as they watched the roulette wheel of the
satellite’s orbit, trying to calculate just when and where the ship would lose enough
energy to drop from the sky. No sooner had that scare ended than the German
space agency announced that a 2.5-ton space telescope called ROSAT would be
tumbling home sometime in late October or early November — landing spot still
unknown. In August, problems with Russia’s Soyuz booster, which is the only space
taxi American astronauts currently have, triggered a lot of talk about whether the
International Space Station (ISS) would have to be abandoned, causing the entire
357-ft. (109 m) facility to plunge back to earth.
9
ESPM – 2012
The ISS is not going anywhere soon, thanks to onboard boosters that can
stabilize and raise its orbit, but the rest of the junk will ultimately go down, if it
doesn’t collide with another spacecraft first — a whole other category of possible
calamity. Just such a cosmic crack-up occurred in 2009 between decommissioned
American and Russian satellites, an accident that would have been instantly fatal if
one or both of the vehicles had been inhabited. The very enormity of the debris belt
would seem to make many more such accidents inevitable, but as TIME reported
after the 2009 collision, the risk is minimized by the fact that all objects orbiting at
the same altitude also move at the same speed — 17,500 m.p.h. (28,200 km/h).
That means they’re essentially standing still relative to one another. To close the gap
between two objects, as, say, a Soyuz spacecraft does when approaching the ISS,
it’s necessary to change that relative speed — in this case, by the Soyuz tweaking
its thrusters to accelerate ever so slightly. Relative to the station, it’s moving at a
very safe crawl, just enough to nose into a docking port.

D) Unless you hadn’t known what was going on above your head, you probably would sleep at night.
E) Unless you had known knew what was going on above your head, you probably wouldn’t

C) there are more objects bigger than an inch than smaller in the Earth’s orbit.
D) old school buses usually roam around the planet in the form of space trash, before falling

JUST 10 YEARS INTO A NEW CENTURY,
MORE THAN TWO-thirds of the country sees the
past decade as a period of decline for the U.S.,
according to a new TIME/Aspen Ideas Festival poll
that probed Americans on the decade since the
tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001. Osama bin Laden
is dead and al-Qaeda seriously weakened, but the
impact of the 9/11 attacks and the decisions that
followed have, in the view of most Americans, put
the U.S. in a tailspin that the country has been
unable to shake during two administrations and
almost 10 years of trying.
ACCORDING TO THE POLL, ONLY 6% OF
MORE THAN 2,000 Americans believe the country
has completely recovered from the events of 9/11.
Some of this pessimism can be tied to fears of
more terrorist attacks. Despite the death of bin
Laden, most Americans think another terrorist
attack in the U.S. is likely.

Texto para as questões 56 e 57
Although robots have made great strides in manufacturing, where tasks are
repetitive, they are still no match for humans, who can grasp things and move about
effortlessly in the physical world. Designing a robot to mimic the basic capabilities
of motion and perception would be revolutionary, researchers say, with applications
stretching from care for the elderly to returning overseas manufacturing operations
to the United States (albeit with fewer workers).
Yet the challenges remain immense, far higher than artificial intelligence obstacles
like speaking and hearing. “All these problems where you want to duplicate
something biology does, such as perception, touch, planning or grasping, turn
out to be hard in fundamental ways,” said Gary Bradski, a vision specialist at
Willow Garage, a robot development company based in Silicon Valley. “It’s always
surprising, because humans can do so much effortlessly.”

THE INSIDE STORY
I live in the storytelling capital of the world. I tell stories for a living. You’re probably
familiar with many of my films, from Rain Man and Batman to Midnight Express to
Gorillas in the Mist to this year’s The Kids Are All Right.
But in four decades in the movie business, I’ve come to see that stories are
not only for the big screen, Shakespearean plays, and John Grisham novels. I’ve
come to see that they are far more than entertainment. They are the most effective
form of human communication, more powerful than any other way of packaging
information. And telling purposeful stories is certainly the most efficient means of
persuasion in everyday life, the most effective way of translating ideas into action,
whether you’re green-lighting a $90 million film project, motivating employees to
meet an important deadline, or getting your kids through a crisis.
PowerPoint presentations may be powered by state-of-the-art technology. But
reams of data rarely engage people to move them to action. Stories, on the other
hand, are state-of-the-heart technology—they connect us to others. They provide
emotional transportation, moving people to take action on your cause because they
can very quickly come to psychologically identify with the characters in a narrative
or share an experience—courtesy of the images evoked in the telling.
Equally important, they turn the audience/listeners into viral advocates of
the proposition, whether in life or in business, by paying the story—not just the
information—forward.
Stories, unlike straight-up information, can change our lives because they directly
involve us, bringing us into the inner world of the protagonist. As I tell the students
in one of my UCLA graduate courses, Navigating a Narrative World, without stories
not only would we not likely have survived as a species, we couldn’t understand
ourselves. They provoke our memory and give us the framework for much of our
understanding. They also reflect the way the brain works. While we think of stories
as fluff, accessories to information, something extraneous to real work, they turn
out to be the cornerstone of consciousness.
Much of what I know about narrative and its power I learned over the course
of working in the entertainment industry. In the early 1980s, I was chairman of
PolyGram Filmed Entertainment as well as a producer at that studio. I was pitched a
movie to finance and distribute based on a book then titled The Execution of Charles
Horman. It told the true story of Ed Horman, Charles’s father, a politically conservative
American who goes to South America in search of his missing journalist son. Ed
joins with his daughter-in-law Beth, who, like her husband, is politically polarized
from the father, in prying through bureaucracy and dangerous government intrigue
in search of their son and husband. Gradually, the father comes to realize his own
government is concealing the truth.
Although the project had enlisted a great filmmaker—Oscar winner Costa Gavras
(for the thriller Z)—I didn’t find it compelling. A Latin American revolution was a
tough sell for a commercial American film, along with the story of a father who had
no relationship with his son and the fact that you already knew the ending: the son
is dead without the father ever finding him. This story was dead on arrival as an
investment.
14
PUC-Rio – 2012
Out of courtesy, I met with the father, who knew I was not a fan. After a few polite
introductions, he nodded to some pictures of my then-teenage daughters on my
bookcase. “Do you really know your children?” he asked. “Really know them?” He
went on to tell me a story—that the search for his son was more a search for who
he was than where he was, because he always suspected he was dead. But the
journey was a revelation, not least about the many values father and son in fact
shared. It was a love story, not a death story.
His telling engaged me in a unique personal way, emotionally transporting me
into the search for his child, and it made me wonder whether I really knew my
daughters, their values and beliefs, their hopes and dreams. If the writer could focus
the film as a love story/thriller and an actor could engage those emotions and pique
those questions, and the film could be executed to get critical acclaim, it really
might be worth backing.

Underground river ‘Rio Hamza’ discovered 4km beneath the Amazon
Scientists estimate the subterranean river may be 6,000km long and hundreds of
times wider than the Amazon
Alok Jha, science correspondent guardian.co.uk
Friday, 26 August 2011
Covering more than 7 million square kilometres in South America, the Amazon
basin is one of the biggest and most impressive river systems in the world. But it
turns out we have only known half the story until now.
Brazilian scientists have found a new river in the Amazon basin – around 4km
underneath the Amazon river. The Hamza river, named after the head of the team of
researchers who found the groundwater flow, appears to be as long as the Amazon
river but up to hundreds of times wider. Both the Amazon and Hamza flow from
west to east and are around the same length, at 6,000km. But whereas the Amazon
ranges from 1km to 100km in width, the Hamza ranges from 200km to 400km. The
underground river starts in the Acre region under the Andes and flows through the
Solimões, Amazonas and Marajó basins before opening out directly into the depths
of the Atlantic Ocean.
The Amazon flows much faster than the Hamza, however, draining a greater
volume of water. Around 133,000m3 of water flow through the Amazon per second
at speeds of up to 5 metres per second. The underground river’s flow rate has been
estimated at around 3,900m3 per second and it barely inches along at less than a
millimetre per hour.
The Hamza was located using data collected inside a series of 241 abandoned
deep wells that were drilled in the Amazon region by the petrochemical company
Petrobras in the 1970s and 1980s. Elizabeth Tavares Pimentel and Valiya Hamza
of the Department of Geophysics at Brazil’s National Observatory led the work
and presented their results last week at the International Congress of the Brazilian
Geophysics Society in Rio de Janeiro.
According to the researchers, the presence of the Hamza river might account
for the relatively low salinity of the waters around the mouth of the Amazon.
Professor Hamza said Pimentel’s measurements represented preliminary work on
the discovery of the new river, but Hamza said he expected to confirm the existence
of the flow with additional measurements within the next few years.

Happiness
It was almost nightfall. The whole day: rain, torrents of rain. Drenched to the bone,
I arrived in a little Calabrian village. I had to find a hearth where I could dry out, a
corner where I could sleep. The streets were deserted, the doors bolted. The dogs
were the only ones to scent the stranger’s breath; they began to bark from within
the courtyards. The peasants in this region are wild and misanthropic, suspicious of
strangers. I hesitated at every door, extended my hand, but did not dare to knock.
O for my late grandfather in Crete!, who took his lantern each evening and made
the rounds of the village to see if any stranger had come. He would take him home,
feed him, give him a bed for the night, and then in the morning see him off with a
cup of wine and a slice of bread. Here in the Calabrian villages there were no such
grandfathers.
Suddenly I saw an open door at the edge of the village. Inclining my head, I
looked in: a murky corridor with a lighted fire at the far end and an old lady bent
over it. She seemed to be cooking. I crossed the threshold and entered. I reached
the fire and sat down on a stool which I found in front of the hearth. The old lady
was squatting on another stool, stirring the meal with a wooden spoon. I felt that
she eyed me rapidly, without turning. But she said nothing. Taking off my jacket,
I began to dry it. I sensed happiness rising in me like warmth, from my feet to my
shins, my thighs, my breast. Hungrily, avidly, I breathed in the delicious smell of the
steam rising from the pot. Once more I realized to what an extent earthly happiness
is made to the measure of man. It is not a rare bird which we must pursue at one
moment in heaven, at the next in our minds. Happiness is a domestic bird in our
own courtyards.
As soon as we finished, she prepared a bed for me on a bench to the right of the
table. I lay down, and she lay down on the other bench opposite me. Outside the
rain was falling by the bucketful. For a considerable time I heard the water cackle on
the roof, mixed with the old lady’s calm, quiet breathing. She must have been tired,
for she fell asleep the moment she inclined her head. Little by little, with the rain
and the old lady’s respiration, I too slipped into sleep. When I awoke, I saw daylight
peering through the cracks in the door.
The old lady had already risen and placed a saucepan on the fire to prepare the
morning milk. I looked at her now in the sparse daylight. Shriveled and hump, she
could fit into the palm of your hand. Her legs were so swollen that she had to stop
at every step and catch her breath. But her eyes, only her large, pitch-black eyes,
gleamed with youthful, unaging brilliance. How beautiful she must have been in her
youth, I thought to myself, cursing man’s fate, his inevitable deterioration. Sitting
down opposite each other again, we drank the milk. Then I rose and slung my
carpetbag over my shoulder. I took out my wallet, but the old lady colored deeply.
20
“No, no,” she murmured, extending her hand.
As I looked at her in astonishment, the whole of her wrinkled face suddenly
gleamed.
“Goodbye, and God bless you,” she said. “May the Lord repay you for the good
you’ve done me. Since my husband died I’ve never slept so well.”

What’s in a name?
The trouble with lingo
Remember the campaign in New York for garbage collectors to be called
sanitation engineers? Near the top of the strike’s agenda was the matter of getting
the respect due to the people doing such essential work. Unfortunately, the new
euphemistic title clarified nothing about the work and by now is either simply not
heard for what it means, or is used in moments of gentle disdain. A clearer term
may have both generated the respect desired and withstood the test of time.
Clarity and sincerity matter. Terms which mislead, confuse or cause offence
can become a distraction from the real content of public debate. In the search
for consensus, since public understanding is harder to change than terminology,
changing the terminology might be a better place to start. No additional prejudice
or emotion should be brought to a debate by the terminology used in it. Here are
two examples.
Genetic Engineering and Genetic Modification
Despite the insistence of biotech scientists that genes of completely different
species are no longer being mixed, the message isn’t being heard. They insist
that they are now involved only in developments which simply hasten the natural
processes of selective and cross breeding or cross pollination. As farmers and
horticulturists have been doing exactly this, unquestioned, for years, they cannot
understand public resistance.
The problem may well be the terminology. In this context, the words “scientific” or
“genetic” have been irreparably sullied. If “genetic engineering” has, in the public’s
view, become synonymous with the indiscriminate mixing of genes, and if the
softer label “genetically modified” hasn’t been able to shake off a perception of
sinister overtones, these terms might as well be dropped – or left attached only to
experiments in Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory.
Ideally, a new agricultural term would leave out the word “genetic” altogether:
it seems to frighten the public. Assuming it described science’s benign genetic
activities accurately, the term “productivity breeding” is not a trivial call for a
euphemism; besides, it would probably encounter less public opposition.
So, let’s have new terms for selective cross breeding by scientists who simply
speed up the same process that is carried out in nature.
Clean coal*
If this new term was intended to be clear, it hasn’t worked.
In “Politics and the English Language” (1946), George Orwell wrote that because
so much political speech involves defending the indefensible, it has to consist
largely of euphemism. He insisted that, in politics, these euphemisms are “swindles”
23
and “perversions” left deliberately vague in order to mislead. Deliberate or not,
“clean coal” is one of these. Aside from being a contradiction in terms, the name
is misleading, creating the impression of the existence of a new type of coal. In
fact, it is ordinary coal which has been treated to “eliminate” most of its destructive
by-products, which are then buried. The whole process produces emissions. This,
though, isn’t clear when it is simply labelled “clean coal”. The term just doesn’t
seem sincere. It’s a red rag to any green. It’s not asking too much to expect the
term describing these procedures to be more accurate. A clearer term would be
less provocative.
So, what’s in a name? A lot. There’s the possibility of confusion, prejudice,
perversions and swindles. For the sake of fair debate, let’s mean what we say and
say what we mean.

The author of the text uses a resource that consists of borrowing from another text,
published beforehand.
This resource is called:
A) synonymy
B) repetition
C) intertextuality
D) exemplification
24
17 The logical relationship between clauses establishes different notions. An example which
expresses the notion of concession is indicated in:
A) since public understanding is harder to change than terminology, (l. 9)
B) If this new term was intended to be clear, (l. 33)
C) because so much political speech involves defending the indefensible, (l. 34-35)
D) This, though, isn’t clear when it is simply labelled “clean coal”. (l. 41-42)
18 A euphemism is a mild, indirect or vague expression used instead of one considered
offensive, harsh or blunt. It may be used to hide unpleasant or disturbing ideas. According to
the definition above, the expression “genetic engineering” can be considered a euphemism
because:
A) it describes benign genetic activities
B) it is synonymous with “genetically modified”
C) it obscures the indiscriminate mixing of genes
D) it refers to monstrous experiments with genes
19
He insisted that, in politics, these euphemisms are “swindles” and “perversions” left
deliberately vague in order to mislead. (l. 36-37).
In the fragment above, the inverted commas are used with the following purpose:
A) indicating the title of books
B) signalling the quotation of terms
C) conveying the sarcasm of the writer
D) suggesting the misapplication of words
20 According to the text, the use of the expression “clean coal” might infuriate ecologists.
This idea is explicit in:
A) these euphemisms are “swindles” and “perversions” (l. 36-37)
B) The term just doesn’t seem sincere. (l. 42-43)
C) It’s a red rag to any green. (l. 43)
D) A clearer term would be less provocative. (l. 44-45)
21 The author states that the process of eliminating the destructive by-products of the socalled “clean coal” produces emissions.
The fragment of the text in which the underlined pronoun refers to the statement above is:
A) it has to consist largely of euphemism. (l. 35-36)
B) “clean coal” is one of these. (l. 38)
C) ordinary coal which has been treated to “eliminate” most of its destructive by-products, (l. 40-41)
D) This, though, isn’t clear (l. 41-42)

Why use biofuels for aviation?
The aviation industry has seen huge growth since its beginning. Today, more than
two billion people enjoy the social and economical benefits of flight each year. The
ability to fly conveniently and efficiently between nations has been a catalyst for the
global economy and has shrunk cultural barriers like no other transport sector. But
this progress comes at a cost.
In 2008, the commercial aviation industry produced 677 million tones of carbon
dioxide (CO2). This is around 2% of the total man-made CO2 emissions of more
than 34 billion tones. While this amount is smaller compared with other industry
sectors, such as power generation and ground transport, these industries have
viable alternative energy sources currently available. For example, the power
generation industry can look to wind, hydro, nuclear and solar technologies to make
electricity without producing much CO2. Cars and buses can run on hybrid, flexible
fuel engines or electricity.
_________________-powered trains can replace_________________locomotives.
The aviation industry has identified the development of biofuels as one of the
major ways it can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Biofuels provide aviation
with the capability to partially, and perhaps one day fully, replace carbon-intensive
petroleum fuels. They will, over time, enable the industry to reduce its carbon
footprint significantly.

Sustainable flight
TAM was the first airline in South America to carry out an experimental flight
using biofuel on November 22, 2010. Produced from the oil of 100% domestic
nettlespurge, known in Portuguese as pinhão-manso, it reduces carbon emissions
by between 65% and 80% compared with petroleum-derived kerosene, according
to research. Besides, the plant does not threatens the food chain, as it is not edible
for humans nor animals. “Compared with other biofuels, the fuel from this plant
is very promising for the Brazilian scenario,” says Paulus Figueiredo, TAM’s fuel
manager. The next step in the project is to implement a farming unit, in reduced
scale, at TAM’s Technological Center in São Carlos (SP), exclusively to conduct
studies and make better cultivation techniques viable. “The objective is to carry
out studies concerning technical and economic viability to build a biofuel Brazilian
platform based on nettlespurge,” explains TAM’s CEO, Líbano Barroso. The
experimental flight was a joint effort between TAM, Airbus, CFM International (joint
venture between U.S.’s GE and the French Safran Group) and Air BP. The trip was
authorized by Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) and by the European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
