← Voltar para a lista de provas Escola Preparatória de Cadetes do Ar (EPCAR) — Comando da Aeronáutica · Exame de Admissão ao CPCAR 49 questões nesta prova · página 3 de 3 · 47 com gabarito Gabarito disponível 'Too' em 'not too deep' é intensificador; 'also' não serve. Em 'not too deep', 'too' significa 'excessivamente', e pode ser trocado por extremely, very ou so. 'Also' significa 'também' e não tem função de intensidade. A, C e D) Podem substituir 'too' como intensificadores. B) 'Also' é adição e não pode substituí-lo. Referência: Adverbs of degree; too vs. also. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível Oração condicional (tipo zero/primeiro) pede futuro com 'will'. A estrutura 'if + presente (is hollow), ... will + verbo' é a condicional de resultado provável. 'Will reach' completa a frase corretamente, e o texto diz que a Terra é acessível pelos polos. A) Errada: passado simples não combina com if + presente. B) Errada: present perfect não se encaixa na condicional. D) Errada: 'stays' não concorda com 'you' e não faz sentido. Referência: Conditional sentences. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível Siri 'prevê' o apocalipse porque citou uma data com significado específico. Ao ser perguntada sobre o dia 27 de julho de 2014, a Siri respondeu 'a abertura do portão do Hades', ou seja, o fim do mundo. Foi essa data com significado específico que deu origem à ideia de que ela prevê o apocalipse. B) Errada: a Siri não abriu portão algum, apenas citou a frase. C) Errada: ela não é responsável pelo fim do mundo. D) Errada: a Siri não criou a teoria, apenas respondeu. Referência: Interpretação de texto. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível Negativa com 'anything' equivale a afirmativa com 'nothing'. 'Can't do anything else' significa 'pode fazer nada além disso', ou seja, 'can do nothing else'. Em inglês, 'not ... anything' equivale a 'nothing' na forma afirmativa do verbo. A) Errada: 'cannot do nothing' é dupla negação. C) Errada: 'something' muda o sentido. D) Errada: 'can do anything else' é afirmativa e tem sentido oposto. Referência: Not...anything = nothing. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível O título da seção é mais uma teoria da conspiração. As linhas 46 e 47 trazem o título da seção sobre a Matrix. Como o texto todo lista teorias da conspiração, essa frase é mais uma delas: vivemos numa simulação e bilionários querem nos libertar dela. A) Errada: não se trata de ação governamental. B) Errada: não é um filme com Zuckerberg. D) Errada: não é um slogan, é o título de uma teoria. Referência: Interpretação de texto: título e contexto. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível 'Further' em 'a stage further' é comparativo de 'far', ideia de comparação. 'Further' é a forma comparativa de 'far'. Em 'taking that obsession a stage further', compara-se a obsessão com um estágio mais avançado, o que dá ideia de comparação, como indica o gabarito. A) Errada: não introduz exemplo. B) Errada: não há oposição de ideias. C) Errada: não encerra nem conclui um raciocínio. Referência: Comparativos (far, further). Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível 'Have circulated since the 1970s' indica um boato que continua em circulação. O present perfect (have circulated since the 1970s) indica uma ação iniciada no passado que se estende até o presente. Logo, o boato ainda circula e há quem considere a hipótese. B) Errada: afirma que a crença não é mais aceita, mas o present perfect indica que ela continua. C) Errada: o boato não ocorreu apenas em 1970, circula desde então. D) Errada: o texto fala do boato e não diz que Hitler vive desde 1970. Referência: Present Perfect com since. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível Objetivo central do texto: informar sobre teorias da conspiração. O texto apresenta, em tom humorado, uma lista de teorias da conspiração que circulam na internet (Michael Jackson vivo, Lua inexistente, Terra oca etc.). Sua finalidade é, portanto, informar o leitor sobre essas teorias. A) Errada: o texto não alerta sobre eventos inesperados. C) Errada: não discute o quão perigosas as teorias são. D) Errada: o texto ironiza as teorias e não busca fazer o leitor acreditar em fatos verdadeiros. Referência: Interpretação de texto em inglês: propósito comunicativo.

SOME OF THE INTERNET'S CRAZIEST CONSPIRACY THEORIES
Michael Jackson Is Still Alive
The advent of the internet hasn't just cooked up¹
new conspiracy theories, it's also accelerated existing
ones. If you refuse to believe that it was the Iranians that
[5] killed him, perhaps you'll be convinced that MJ is actually
still alive. Proof? His own daughter Paris Jackson took a
photo of him. Seriously. What do you mean you don't
see him? He's right there in the back seat, stacked²
under that pile of clothes wearing his iconic hat. Believe,
[10] man. Thriller Vol.2 to drop next year.
The Moon Doesn't Exist
It's no good looking at it, night after night. The
moon doesn't exist. It's a hologram, put there by persons
unknown. Of course, serial conspiracy theorist David
[15] Icke has a theory. There are also countless YouTubers
keeping an eye out, one of whom has gone as far as
"looking at it regularly for a year".
Jay Z Is A Time-Travelling Vampire
There are vast regions of the internet devoted to
[20] explaining why Jay Z is part of the Illuminati. Hence³
when this photo, which was taken in New York in 1939,
appeared last year, he was accused of being a time-
traveller. And a vampire. This video lists other old-time
celebrity lookalikes⁴, as well as suggesting that
[25] Hollywood stars don't age because they're the immortal
bloodsucking undead. Not because they're stuffed⁵ with
botox, then?
The Earth Is Hollow
Don't give up, readers. We're halfway through
[30] this list. We can make it to the end. Dig⁶ deep. Well, not
too deep. You see, the Earth is hollow⁷ and accessible
via portals at the north and south poles. Luckily though,
it's quite habitable down there, providing excellent living
quarters⁸ for the lost Viking colonies of Greenland and
[35] the Nazis, while "aliens" are in fact just visitors from the
subterranean areas.
Siri Can Predict The Apocalypse
Amazing as it may seem, given that it can't do
anything else you actually ask it to do, Siri can predict
[40] the apocalypse. When asked "What day is 27th July
2014?", Apple's assistant replied, "The opening of the
gate of Hades", aka⁹ The End Of The World. That date
has now passed without issue¹⁰. Say what you like about
the maligned MS Office paperclip, but at least he didn't
[45] scaremonger¹¹ that the end was near.
We All Live In The Matrix And Billionaires Want To Break Us Out Of It
The New Yorker’s Tad Friend claims that many
people in Silicone Valley are obsessed with the idea that
[50] we're all living in a Matrix-like simulation, and some are
taking that obsession a stage further: “Two tech
billionaires have gone so far as to secretly engage
scientists to work on breaking us out of the
simulation.”Here's hoping Mark Zuckerberg is 'The One',
[55] yeah?
Hitler Is Still Alive
"Hitler is still alive" rumours have circulated since
the 1970s, fuelled by the fact that his crony Josef
Mengele hid in South America. Stories like this one,
[60] however, speculate the 125-year-old Hitler has been
responsible for various world disasters, including 9/11
and the 2010 Gulf oil spill, which happened on his
birthday. Other theories say he died in 1984 in Brazil,
aged 94. Or in Argentina, aged 73.

SOME OF THE INTERNET'S CRAZIEST CONSPIRACY THEORIES
Michael Jackson Is Still Alive
The advent of the internet hasn't just cooked up¹
new conspiracy theories, it's also accelerated existing
ones. If you refuse to believe that it was the Iranians that
[5] killed him, perhaps you'll be convinced that MJ is actually
still alive. Proof? His own daughter Paris Jackson took a
photo of him. Seriously. What do you mean you don't
see him? He's right there in the back seat, stacked²
under that pile of clothes wearing his iconic hat. Believe,
[10] man. Thriller Vol.2 to drop next year.
The Moon Doesn't Exist
It's no good looking at it, night after night. The
moon doesn't exist. It's a hologram, put there by persons
unknown. Of course, serial conspiracy theorist David
[15] Icke has a theory. There are also countless YouTubers
keeping an eye out, one of whom has gone as far as
"looking at it regularly for a year".
Jay Z Is A Time-Travelling Vampire
There are vast regions of the internet devoted to
[20] explaining why Jay Z is part of the Illuminati. Hence³
when this photo, which was taken in New York in 1939,
appeared last year, he was accused of being a time-
traveller. And a vampire. This video lists other old-time
celebrity lookalikes⁴, as well as suggesting that
[25] Hollywood stars don't age because they're the immortal
bloodsucking undead. Not because they're stuffed⁵ with
botox, then?
The Earth Is Hollow
Don't give up, readers. We're halfway through
[30] this list. We can make it to the end. Dig⁶ deep. Well, not
too deep. You see, the Earth is hollow⁷ and accessible
via portals at the north and south poles. Luckily though,
it's quite habitable down there, providing excellent living
quarters⁸ for the lost Viking colonies of Greenland and
[35] the Nazis, while "aliens" are in fact just visitors from the
subterranean areas.
Siri Can Predict The Apocalypse
Amazing as it may seem, given that it can't do
anything else you actually ask it to do, Siri can predict
[40] the apocalypse. When asked "What day is 27th July
2014?", Apple's assistant replied, "The opening of the
gate of Hades", aka⁹ The End Of The World. That date
has now passed without issue¹⁰. Say what you like about
the maligned MS Office paperclip, but at least he didn't
[45] scaremonger¹¹ that the end was near.
We All Live In The Matrix And Billionaires Want To Break Us Out Of It
The New Yorker’s Tad Friend claims that many
people in Silicone Valley are obsessed with the idea that
[50] we're all living in a Matrix-like simulation, and some are
taking that obsession a stage further: “Two tech
billionaires have gone so far as to secretly engage
scientists to work on breaking us out of the
simulation.”Here's hoping Mark Zuckerberg is 'The One',
[55] yeah?
Hitler Is Still Alive
"Hitler is still alive" rumours have circulated since
the 1970s, fuelled by the fact that his crony Josef
Mengele hid in South America. Stories like this one,
[60] however, speculate the 125-year-old Hitler has been
responsible for various world disasters, including 9/11
and the 2010 Gulf oil spill, which happened on his
birthday. Other theories say he died in 1984 in Brazil,
aged 94. Or in Argentina, aged 73.

Com base no excerto a seguir, na tirinha abaixo e na prova de Língua Portuguesa, escreva um texto dissertativo-argumentativo, em prosa, sobre a seguinte questão: A importância da Literatura na formação do ser humano.
TEXTO I
“A literatura desconcerta, incomoda, desorienta, desnorteia mais que os discursos filosófico, sociológico ou psicológico porque ela faz apelo às emoções e à empatia. (...) ela percorre regiões que os outros discursos negligenciam, mas que a ficção reconhece em seus detalhes.”
(COMPAGNON, Antoine. Literatura para quê? Tradução de Laura Tadei Brandini. Belo Horizonte: UFMG, 2009. p.46.)
