Questão 51
The internet vigilantes: Anonymous hackers’ group outs man, 32, ‘who drove girl, 15, to suicide by spreading topless photos of her’
Anonymous has named a man it claims posted topless pictures of a 15-year-old girl online and harassed her so relentlessly that she killed herself.
Amanda Todd, from Vancouver, Canada, was found hanged in her home on October 10, just weeks after she uploaded a video to YouTube detailing her horrific treatment at the hands of cyber bullies.
When she was just 12, a man in an internet chat room convinced her to flash her breasts, and a year later, he plastered a picture of the incident across Facebook.
Now in a vigilante move, Anonymous, the world’s largest hacking group, has named the man allegedly responsible for the picture.
The group claims that he is a 32-year-old from British Columbia, but MailOnline has chosen not to identify him for legal reasons
As Todd’s supporters set up Facebook pages warning the man to ‘sleep with one eye open’, the move by Anonymous sparks concerns over its abilities to create a ‘trial by internet’ – bypassing the justice system and casting guilt.
In a video posted to YouTube by Anonymous, a figure claims the group lists his personal information, including his date of birth and address
It explains that his username appears on websites where he ‘blackmailed’ and gave advice to young girls. The same username is also tied to a website with a ‘jailbait’ photo gallery. ‘[He] is an abomination to our society, and will be punished,’ the Anonymous figure says.
Referring to the possibility they might have the wrong man, they add: ‘At the most this is the person who did this to Amanda Todd, and at the least it’s another pedophile that enjoys taking advantage of children.’
Following Anonymous’ announcement, the web moved swiftly, with groups calling for his death and warning him to ‘sleep with one eye open’ cropping up on Facebook.
CKNW reporters have unsuccessfully tried to speak with the man, and neighbours have described his home as ‘a known party house on the weekend with lots of young women coming and going’.
But police attended the home on Monday after a neighbour, Chyne Simpson, said Anonymous named the wrong address. He said he felt threatened by internet users and asked them to stay away.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police refused to confirm Anonymous have the right man but a spokesperson said they were aware that someone had been named.
‘We are aware of what’s being posted online and certainly following up what we feel is important to follow up,’ Sergeant Peter Thiessen told The Globe and Mail, adding: ‘[Vigilantes] run the risk of committing a criminal offence.’
Todd’s family members also said they are not sure the Anonymous report is accurate and said police have tracked down a person living in the U.S. whom they believed was involved.
The claims come weeks after Amanda posted a nearly nine-minute YouTube video detailing her treatment on a stack of notecards held up to the camera.
Todd says that a year after she flashed her breasts, the man tracked her down and demanded he put on a show for him or he would expose her.
When she refused, he created a Facebook page with a list of her friends and used her naked chest as the profile photo. The picture quickly spread across the internet and among her classmates.
It led to relentless bullying online, she said, and she was diagnosed with depression and started drinking. In the video, posted September 7, she admitted that she had previously tried to kill herself twice and has been hospitalised.
After moving to a different city and school, another instance of bullying occurred after she started a romantic relationship with an older man who had a girlfriend. Once that relationship soured, she was confronted and beaten up by the man’s girlfriend. She was hit in front of a crowd of screaming people who encouraged her to be left in a ditch.
Amanda does not speak in the video, and her face is not fully shown, but she confirmed her identity with the last notecard which says her name.
One of the final images is a jarring picture of her arm which had been cut repeatedly. Just under six weeks after posting the video, Todd could take the bullying no longer, and took her own life.
During a memorial for Todd on Monday, her friends said they have been aware of a man in his 30s ‘stalking’ their friend for years.
‘There were multiple accounts with random names,’ one friend told QMI Agency. ‘There were Twitter accounts also used.’ The Vancouver Sun reported that Amanda was a student in Grade 10 at the Coquitlam Basic Alternative Education school. The principal of the school confirmed her death and said that she had become connected with many since she transferred to the school in the middle of last year.
‘It is a very sad case,’ Paul McNaughton told the paper. ‘I can tell you we feel we tried everything we could to help her when she came to us.’
Her death prompted a local politician to release a video of her own that pleads to put an end to bullying.
‘I just heard about Amanda. I want to say to everyone who loved her, to all her family and friends, how sorry I am about her loss,’ British Columbia premier Christy Clark said.
‘No one deserves to be bullied. No one earns it. No one asks for it. It isn’t a rite of passage. Bullying has to stop.’

The alternative that brings the best synonym in its base form to the bold underlined word in the text page “Anonymous has named a man it claims posted topless pictures of a 15-year-old girl online and harassed her so relentlessly that she killed herself.” is:
- A)Cudgeled.
- B)Drubbed.
- C)Impaled.
- D)Besieged.
A alternativa correta é D)
A palavra "harassed" no texto original em inglês possui como melhor sinônimo em sua forma base a alternativa D) Besieged.
Justificativa: O verbo "harass" significa perseguir, importunar ou assediar de forma persistente e opressiva. Entre as opções apresentadas:
- A) Cudgeled: significa espancar ou bater com um porrete, não transmitindo a ideia de assédio contínuo.
- B) Drubbed: possui sentido de espancar ou derrotar sonoramente, focando em violência física rather than psicológica.
- C) Impaled: refere-se a empalar ou perfurar, completamente fora do contexto de assédio.
- D) Besieged: significa sitiar, oprimir ou importunar incessantemente, sendo o único termo que mantém a noção de perseguição psicológica e pressão constante presente em "harassed".
O contexto do texto descreve um assédio digital persistente que levou ao suicídio, tornando "besieged" a alternativa semanticamente mais adequada para substituir "harassed" enquanto mantém a base do significado original.

As demais alternativas não são adequadas: A) é gramaticalmente incorreta e sem sentido; B) e C) alteram completamente o significado original; D) "knows what's what" significa entender como as coisas funcionam em uma situação, não indicando posse de qualidades pessoais.
Questão 54
Safety Meeting Presentation
in front of you and talk about working safely and what
procedures to follow until I’m blue in the face. But until
you understand the need for working safely, until you
are willing to be responsible for your safety, it doesn’t
mean a whole lot.
Some of you may be familiar with OSHA – the
Occupational Safety & Health Administration. The
sole purpose of this agency is to keep American
workers safe. Complying with OSHA regulations isn’t
always easy, but if we work together, we can do it.
Yet, complying with regulations is not the real reason
for working safely. Our real motive is simple. We care
about each and every one of you and will do what is
necessary to prevent you from being injured.
However, keeping our workplace safe takes
input from everyone. Management, supervisor, and
all of you have to come together on this issue, or
we’re in trouble. For example, upper management
has to approve the purchase of safe equipment.
Supervisors, including myself, have to ensure that
each of you knows how to use that equipment safely.
Then it’s up to you to follow through the task and use
the equipment as you were trained. If any one part
of this chain fails, accidents are going to happen and
people are going to get hurt.
Responsibility Number One – Recognize Hazards
At the core of your safety responsibilities lies
the task of recognizing safety and health hazards.
In order to do that, you must first understand what
constitutes a hazard. Extreme hazards are often
obvious. Our hopes are that you won’t find too many
of those around here.
There are, however, more subtle hazards that
won’t jump up and bite you. As a result of your safety
training and meetings like these, some things may
come to mind. For example, a machine may not be
easy to lock out. Common practice may be to use a tag.
This is a potential hazard and should be discussed.
Maybe something can be changed to make it easier to
use a lock. Other subtle hazards include such things
as frayed electrical cords, a loose machine guard, a
cluttered aisle, or maybe something that just doesn’t
look right.
Responsibility Number Two – Report Hazards
A big part of recognizing hazards is using your
instincts. Nobody knows your job as well as you
do, so we’re counting on you to let us know about
possible problems. Beyond recognizing hazards, you
have to correct them or report them to someone who
can. This too, is a judgement call. For example, if something spills in your work area you can probably
clean it up yourself. However, if there is an unlabeled
chemical container and you have no idea what it is,
you should report it to your supervisor.
Additional Employee Responsibilities
Good housekeeping is a major part of keeping
your work area safe. For example, you should take a
few minutes each day to ensure that aisles, hallways,
and stairways in your work area are not obstructed.
If boxes, equipment, or anything else is left to pile
up, you have a tripping hazard on your hands. Those
obstructions could keep you from exiting the building
quickly and safely should you face an emergency
situation.
Also watch out for spills. These can lead to slips
and falls. Flammable materials are another thing to
be aware of. Make sure they are disposed of properly.
Keep Thinking. Even if you’re doing your job
safely and you are avoiding hazards, there are often
even better ways to work safely. If you have ideas for
improving the safety of your job or that of co-workers,
share them.
Concluding Remarks
While nothing we do can completely eliminate the
threat of an incident, we can work together to improve
our odds. As I said, this must be a real team effort
and I’m counting on input from all of you. Let’s keep
communicating and continue to improve safety.

- A)“sole" (line 9) and only express similar ideas.
- B)“injured" (line 15) and hurt are antonyms.
- C)“ensure" (line 21) and guarantee express contradictory ideas.
- D)“subtle" (line 41) and obvious are synonyms.
- E)“odds" (line 77) and probabilities do not have equivalent meanings.
A alternativa correta é A)
Com base na análise do texto apresentado, podemos observar que:
A palavra "sole" (linha 9) é utilizada no contexto "the sole purpose of this agency", indicando que o propósito único ou exclusivo da OSHA é manter os trabalhadores americanos seguros. Esta palavra compartilha significado equivalente com "only" (apenas/único), já que ambas transmitem a ideia de exclusividade e singularidade de propósito.
As demais alternativas não correspondem aos significados presentes no texto: "injured" e "hurt" são sinônimos, não antônimos; "ensure" e "guarantee" expressam ideias similares de garantia e certeza; "subtle" e "obvious" são antônimos, não sinônimos; "odds" e "probabilities" possuem significados equivalentes no contexto de chances ou possibilidades.
Portanto, a alternativa correta é A) "sole" and only express similar ideas.

- A)accepting; quit
- B)respecting; leave
- C)refusing; complete
- D)resisting; pursue
- E)obeying; conclude
A alternativa correta é E)
As expressões "Complying with" e "follow through" apresentadas nos fragmentos do texto podem ser substituídas, respectivamente, por "obeying" e "conclude" sem alteração do significado original.
No contexto da frase "Complying with OSHA regulations isn't always easy", a expressão "complying with" carrega o sentido de obedecer, cumprir ou estar em conformidade com regulamentos. A alternativa "obeying" mantém exatamente essa noção de adesão às normas estabelecidas.
Já na expressão "follow through the task", o verbo frasal "follow through" significa completar, finalizar ou levar uma tarefa até sua conclusão. A opção "conclude" captura perfeitamente essa ideia de finalização de uma atividade de maneira adequada.
As demais alternativas não preservam o sentido original: "accepting" (aceitar) é muito passivo, "respecting" (respeitar) não implica necessariamente em ação, enquanto "refusing" (recusar) e "resisting" (resistir) são antônimos. Para o segundo verbo, opções como "quit" (desistir), "leave" (deixar) ou "pursue" (perseguir) não transmitem a noção de conclusão adequada.
Questão 56
Choose the best option to rewrite the sentence keeping the same meaning.
He had his hair cut yesterday.
- A)He himself cut his hair yesterday.
- B)He wanted to cut his hair yesterday.
- C)His hair needed cutting.
- D)He cut his hair yesterday.
- E)The hairdresser cut his hair yesterday.
A alternativa correta é E)
O gabarito correto é a opção E) "The hairdresser cut his hair yesterday."
A estrutura "have something done" (have + objeto + particípio passado) em inglês indica que a ação foi realizada por outra pessoa, não pelo sujeito da frase. Quando dizemos "He had his hair cut", significa que ele arrumou/combinou para que alguém (normalmente um profissional) cortasse seu cabelo, não que ele mesmo realizou a ação.
Analisando as alternativas:
- A) Incorreta - Sugere que ele mesmo cortou o próprio cabelo
- B) Incorreta - Indica desejo, não ação concluída
- C) Incorreta - Refere-se à necessidade, não à ação realizada
- D) Incorreta - Implica que ele mesmo executou o corte
- E) Correta - Explicita que foi o cabeleireiro quem realizou o corte
A opção E mantém exatamente o mesmo significado da frase original, indicando que o corte foi feito por um profissional.

Life and the Movies
Joey Potter looked at her friend Dawson Leery and she smiled sadly.
“Life isn’t like a movie, Dawson,” she said. “We can’t write happy endings to all our
relationships.”
Joey was a pretty girl with long brown hair. Both Joey and Dawson were nearly sixteen years
old. The two teenagers had problems. All teenagers have the same problems – life, love, school work, and parents. It isn’t easy to become an adult.
Dawson loved movies. He had always loved movies. He took film classes in school. He made
short movies himself. Dawson wanted to be a film director. His favorite director was Steven Spielberg.
Dawson spent a lot of his free time filming with his video camera. He loved watching videos of
great movies from the past. Most evenings, he watched movies with Joey.
“These days, Dawson always wants us to behave like people in movies,” Joey thought. And
life in the little seaside town of Capeside wasn’t like the movies.
Joey looked at the handsome, blond boy who was sitting next to her. She thought about the
years of their long friendship. They were best friends…
ANDERS, C. J. Retold by CORNISH, F. H. Dawson’s Creek. Shifting into overdrive. Oxford, Macmillan, 2005.

- A)strange.
- B)calm.
- C)ugly.
- D)good-looking.
- E)intelligent.
A alternativa correta é D)
De acordo com o texto, a palavra "handsome" em inglês é um adjetivo que descreve Dawson. Na língua portuguesa, a tradução direta e mais adequada para "handsome" é "bonito" ou "atraente", especialmente quando se refere a homens. Analisando as alternativas:
- A) strange (estranho) - não corresponde ao significado
- B) calm (calmo) - não é a tradução da palavra
- C) ugly (feio) - é o oposto do significado
- D) good-looking (bonito/atraente) - tradução correta de "handsome"
- E) intelligent (inteligente) - não é o significado da palavra no contexto
Portanto, a alternativa correta é D) good-looking, pois "handsome" significa que Dawson era um jovem bonito e de aparência agradável.
Questão 58
Text 2
01 Take a dive with hundreds of tropical fish, colorful coral and the world’s biggest fish, the
whale shark, at unspoilt Ningaloo Reef.
The reef on Western Australia’s mid north coast, has gained an impressive reputation as
one of Earth’s last ocean paradise.
05 It’s one of the largest fringing reefs in the world and unlike many others; you can get to it
just by stepping off the beach.
The marine park stretches 260 kilometers from Bundegi Reef near the town of Exmouth to
Amherst Point near Coral Bay in the south.
It reaches nearly 20 kilometers seaward, encompassing a massive 5,000 square
10 kilometers of ocean with 500 species of tropical fish and 220 species of coral in all.
Nothing can compare to the thrill of swimming beside a whale shark. These docile
creatures visit the reef each year between April and June.
Rare turtle species hatch here in late January and February. Watch this amazing natural
phenomenon on special guided, eco-interactive trails.
15 Accommodation in the area is comfortable and ranges from camping and backpacker style
to chalets, motels, eco-retreats and self catering apartments.
It’s not all about the water at Ningaloo – go four wheel driving to Cape Range National
Park to see amazing red rock canyons and gorges.
Getting there is easy – take a two hour flight north of Perth, or give yourself two days to
drive there from the capital.

According to Text 2, answer the questions below:
The word unlike in line 5, of the text, means:
- A)together.
- B)similar.

A alternativa correta é C)
De acordo com o texto, a palavra unlike na linha 5 é utilizada para estabelecer um contraste entre o recife de Ningaloo e outros recifes do mundo.

Text 1
01 There, in the pasture greenery,
Sun mottling Nature’s breast,
It was the summer wind’s song
That filled me with its crest.
05 Emotion running rampant–
Rivers to the sea–
I could not even fathom the flood of you and me.
But take me in your arms again
And do not talk of time.
10 Let flesh rub flesh to parchment–
Pale flowers crushed–
And grind more mortar for my soul’s room . . .
Paint mirrors for my mind.
(Michela Curtis: www.poetry.com)
According to Text 1, answer the questions below:
Analyze the best answer to complete the following sentence, giving it the same meaning as in the text.

- A)controlled, imagine, flight
- B)suddenly, exchange, love
- C)apart, bring, feelings
- D)with no control, understand, blow
- E)fast, know, sensation
A alternativa correta é D)
Analisando o texto original, observamos no verso 05 a expressão "Emotion running rampant" (emoção correndo descontroladamente) e no verso 07 "I could not even fathom the flood of you and me" (eu não poderia nem mesmo compreender a inundação de você e eu).
A alternativa D corresponde perfeitamente ao significado do texto:
- "running with no control" equivale a "running rampant" (correndo descontroladamente)
- "understand" equivale a "fathom" (compreender)
- "blow" pode ser interpretado como uma tradução poética de "flood" (inundação/transbordamento)
As outras alternativas não mantêm a fidelidade semântica com o texto original, alterando substantivamente o significado dos versos.

Making Performance Budgeting Work: New IMF Book
October 04, 2007
Member countries will find valuable advice on how to reform their budgeting practices to improve the effectiveness and
efficiency of public expenditure in a major new work on performance budgeting produced by the Fiscal Affairs Department. The book,
Performance Budgeting: Linking Funding and Results (500pp), came off the presses of the top UK publisher Palgrave Macmillan in
September.
Edited by FAD staff member Marc Robinson, the book contains a comprehensive treatment of contemporary performance
budgeting practice and theory. In a series of thematic chapters and case studies, the book discusses:
– The key forms of performance budgeting which [TO IMPLEMENT] around the world – how they differ, and what they have in
common points.
– Lessons from the experience of governments around the world – ranging from OECD nations to developing, middle-income
and transition countries – about what forms of performance budgeting work, under what circumstances, and with what
implementation strategies.
– How successful performance budgeting can improve aggregate fiscal discipline.
– The information requirements of performance budgeting, and
– The links between performance budgeting and other budgeting and public management reforms.
Many of the contributors to this work are leaders in performance budgeting implementation in their countries. Others are
respected academics and technical experts from the International Monetary Fund and other international organizations. Countries
covered in the case studies include the UK, USA, Australia, France, Chile, Spain, Russia, Colombia and Ethiopia.
One major focus of the book is performance budgeting as a tool for improved expenditure prioritization – that is, for helping to
shift limited public resources to the services of greatest social benefit. A key finding is that this type of performance budgeting will only
work if the budget process is fundamentally changed so that top politicians and bureaucrats systematically consider expenditure
priorities when formulating the budget. This means more than just considering the priorities for new spending. It requires also having
mechanisms to systematically review existing spending programs to identify what is ineffective and low priority and can, therefore, be
cut. This is what countries such as Chile and the United Kingdom have successfully done, and the United States is currently attempting
to achieve with its Program Assessment Rating Tool instrument. Conversely, it is a mistake to believe that merely changing the budget
classification and developing performance indicators will in itself improve the allocation of resources in the budget.
