It has</p><p>pledged to ban the thinnest plastic bags from June,</p><p>2008. The bags have contributed to floods and health</p><p>problems. They block drains and provide perfect, warm</p><p>pools for mosquitoes and other insects to breed. China</p><p>followed Hong Kong’s example. Hong Kong has</p><p>introduced a bill to impose a tax on plastic bags.</p><p>Chinese officials have also consulted Bangladesh, the</p><p>first large country to ban bags, in 2002. The plastic</p><p>bags were a major cause of flooding. At least 40</p><p>countries, states, and major cities have imposed, or</p><p>are considering, bans. For example, Rwanda and</p><p>Eritrea have banned the bags and Tanzania has</p><p>stopped all imports and manufacture of bags. Other</p><p>countries, like Papua New Guinea, Bhutan, Zanzibar</p><p>and Botswana, have also banned plastic bags and</p><p>introduced taxes.</p><p>Attitudes are also changing fast in industrialized</p><p>countries. Ireland imposed a tax in 2002. Australia is</p><p>planning to introduce a ban this year. San Francisco</p><p>and Oakland in California are forcing</p><p>shops to use bags made of at least 40 percent</p><p>recycled paper.</p><p>The global plastics industry is estimated to make and</p><p>distribute between 500 billion and a trillion bags a year.</p><p>The industry has fought back against bans. It argues</p><p>that plastics are more compact and take up less space</p><p>in landfills. It says paper bags require more energy to</p><p>produce. It also says paper bags generate more waste</p><p>and burn less cleanly.</p><p>GLOSSARY:</p><p>to pledge = comprometer-se</p><p>drain = esgoto, cano</p><p>to impose = impor, obrigar</p><p>landfill = aterro sanitário</p><p>57 – The opposite of “against”, underlined twice in the</p><p>text, is</p><p>a) for.</p><p>b) about.</p><p>c) through.</p><p>d) towards.</p><p>58 – Which verb tense , predominant in the text, talks</p><p>about the</p><p>attitudes of countries, states and cities towards plastic</p><p>litter?</p><p>a) simple past</p><p>b) simple present</p><p>c) present perfect</p><p>d) present continuous</p><p>59 – According to the text, it isn’t correct to affirm that</p><p>a) some countries have already banned plastic bags.</p><p>b) China has been engaged to ban plastic bag from</p><p>this year.</p><p>c) the global plastics industry presented only one</p><p>strong</p><p>argument against bans.</p><p>d) besides flood, plastic bags have also contributed to</p><p>some</p><p>more problems.</p><p>60 – According to the text, we conclude that</p><p>a) industries have made bags of recycled paper.</p><p>b) just a few officials don’t import plastic bags</p><p>anymore.</p><p>c) several places are imposing or thinking about a ban</p><p>on</p><p>plastic bags.</p><p>d) some countries intend to force plastic industries to</p><p>distribute</p><p>less plastic bags.</p><p>ANSWER KEY</p><p>A B C D</p><p>31 X</p><p>32 X</p><p>33 X</p><p>34 X</p><p>35 X</p><p>36 X</p><p>37 X</p><p>38 X</p><p>39 X</p><p>40 X</p><p>41 X</p><p>42 X</p><p>43 X</p><p>44 X</p><p>45 X</p><p>46 X</p><p>47 X</p><p>48 X</p><p>49 X</p><p>50 X</p><p>51 X</p><p>52 X</p><p>53 X</p><p>54 X</p><p>55 X</p><p>56 X</p><p>57 X</p><p>58 X</p><p>59 X</p><p>60 X</p><p>COMANDO DA AERONÁUTICA</p><p>DEPARTAMENTO DE ENSINO DA</p><p>AERONÁUTICA</p><p>ESCOLA DE ESPECIALISTAS DE</p><p>AERONÁUTICA</p><p>EXAME DE ESCOLARIDADE DO</p><p>EXAME DE SELEÇÃO AO</p><p>CURSO DE FORMAÇÃO DE</p><p>SARGENTOS – CFS B 2/2009</p><p>TODAS AS ESPECIALIDADES</p><p>AS QUESTÕES DE 26 A 50 REFEREM-SE</p><p>À LÍNGUA INGLESA</p><p>Read the dialog and answer questions 26 and</p><p>27.</p><p>Interviewer: When you starred as Selena, in the</p><p>movie, did you identify with her?</p><p>J.LO: Very much.

It is a common problem and it is</p><p>getting worse. Airport delays make people angry and</p><p>cost the country billions in lost work time.</p><p>The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the</p><p>government agency that oversees air travel. They</p><p>studied the problem of airline delays.</p><p>They found eleven major problems and proposed</p><p>eleven ways to fix them. Some of the problems are</p><p>caused because different regions of the country do</p><p>things differently. The regions don’t talk to each</p><p>other enough. Some of them need new computers.</p><p>Also, too many planes are flying. A strong economy</p><p>has more people using airplanes to get around.</p><p>Airplanes are a form of mass of transportation now,</p><p>like trains and buses were in the past. More planes in</p><p>the airport cause delays.</p><p>Weather is another main reason for delays. Weather</p><p>causes about 70% of delays. Fog or freezing rain can</p><p>cause delays.</p><p>The first thing FAA wants to do is take control away</p><p>from the regions during heavy traffic times and bad</p><p>weather.

This will help you work out which</p><p>issues you need to deal with, and in which order.</p><p>♦Face your fears</p><p>If you’re having recurring dreams, ask yourself whether there is</p><p>any issue you need to face. “I encourage patients to face their</p><p>pursuer or fear head on in the dream. Once they do this, the</p><p>dreams stop and they feel more at ease _____ they’re awake,”</p><p>says psychologist and sleep expert Cliff Arnall.</p><p>♦Have an open mind</p><p>“Don’t take dreams literally – for example, dreaming of</p><p>pregnancy doesn’t mean you’re expecting a baby in real life. It</p><p>may indicate you are ready to create something new in your</p><p>work or relationship”, explains Clarkson.</p><p>♦Take positive action</p><p>Anxiety dreams, relating to a forthcoming stressful event, are</p><p>very common. “If you feel that worries or concerns are being</p><p>played out in advance, learn to use your dreams as motivators,”</p><p>says Arnall. “Write a list of problems or obstacles that were</p><p>brought to the surface – there may be things you previously</p><p>didn’t consider – and take positive steps to solve them.”</p><p>49 - The correct word to fill in the blank is</p><p>a) when.</p><p>b) where.</p><p>c) which.</p><p>d) wherever.</p><p>50 - According to the text,</p><p>a) we can predict from our dreams what is likely to happen to</p><p>our lives.</p><p>b) dreaming about being pregnant may be interpreted as a new</p><p>period of creativity.</p><p>c) the dream experts believe that is not advisable to use our</p><p>dreams as daytime therapy.</p><p>d) the dream therapy can increase anxiety because people start</p><p>thinking about their fears and worries.</p><p>51 - “recurring dreams” means that the dreams</p><p>a) probably occur.</p><p>b) seldom come true.</p><p>c) sometimes appear.</p><p>d) happen several times.</p><p>52 - In “Dreams do have something to tell you.”, the underlined</p><p>verb is being used</p><p>a) for emphasis.</p><p>b) as a main verb.</p><p>c) for questioning.</p><p>d) instead of make.</p><p>53 - Choose the indirect speech for “Don’t take dreams</p><p>literally”</p><p>Clarkson told us ________________________.</p><p>a) that we should avoid taking dreams literally.</p><p>b) that we wouldn’t take dreams literally.</p><p>c) that we couldn’t take dreams literally.</p><p>d) not to take dreams literally.</p><p>54 - “any”, underlined in the text, means</p><p>a) every.</p><p>b) one at a time.</p><p>c) it doesn’t matter which.</p><p>d) not one and not the other.</p><p>Read the text and answer questions 55, 56, 57, 58, 59</p><p>and 60.</p><p>Choosing the Right Words</p><p>The most crucial factor in flirting is body language.</p><p>What you actually say counts only 7% in your success</p><p>or failure.

They are learning</p><p>what it means to be a girl and a boy in this</p><p>culture. Their sex at birth, female or male, is</p><p>now becoming a gender – a way of thinking,</p><p>speaking, and acting that is considered feminine</p><p>or masculine. Each culture has its own way of</p><p>defining gender, and very early in life gender</p><p>becomes a basic part of a person’s identity.</p><p>In the United States and Canada, boys and girls</p><p>usually play in the same sex groups. Boys play</p><p>in large groups in which every boy knows his</p><p>place. Some are leaders; others are followers.</p><p>Many boys like to get attention by boasting, or</p><p>talking how well they can do things.</p><p>Girls, on the other hand, usually play in smaller</p><p>groups. They may be interested in playing fairly</p><p>and taking turns.

Most women are not</p><p>interested in gadgets. Men buy gadgets for women</p><p>because men love gadgets. For my birthday my</p><p>husband bought me a gadget that makes bubbles in</p><p>the bath, like a jacuzzi. Last year he got me one of</p><p>those things you put on the back of your seat and it</p><p>massages your back. What’s he trying to tell me? That</p><p>I deserve some little luxuries? I agree with that, but the</p><p>little luxuries I like are made of gold or silver.</p><p>But women are sensitive and intuitive so they always</p><p>know the right thing to buy. Right? Wrong.</p><p>Women generally buy clothes. They like them and</p><p>want other people to wear the clothes they like. “You</p><p>always wear dark colours, and I want to change you,</p><p>so I’m going to buy you a brightly coloured tie.”</p><p>This is a big mistake. The word you have to remember</p><p>when you’re buying a present for a male is Gadgets.</p><p>For his last birthday, I gave my husband a small torch</p><p>and a Swiss army knife. He was overjoyed.</p><p>It’s very simple. You can’t go wrong if you always</p><p>remember the ‘G’ word for men and the ‘J’ word for</p><p>women.</p><p>GLOSSARY:</p><p>gadget = engenhoca</p><p>torch = lanterna</p><p>52 – Fill in the blank to have the text completed</p><p>correctly.</p><p>a) hid</p><p>b) hide</p><p>c) hidden</p><p>d) was hidden</p><p>53 – Based on the text, the woman says that</p><p>a) the jacuzzi was the present she liked most.</p><p>b) men don’t like anything digital or electronic.</p>
