Aliens

I pointed my flashlight’s beam into the doorway to reveal the
interior of the spaceship. I called inside. “Hello. Is anybody
there?” No response. A big round silver table was in the
middle of the room with a smaller black spot on top of it. Test
5 tubes lined the far wall, some small and others large enough
to fit a cow. Most of them were occupied with creatures I had
never seen before in any book I had ever read. Then I heard
a noise. I turned around to see the door close. Everything was
really dark and all I could hear was my own breathing. Then I
10 smelled something that made me feel calmer. I felt so relaxed
like I could fall asleep. Like I could just fall asleep. I fell
asleep.
I opened my eyes to a bright light shining in my face. I stood
up to see where I was and what happened. I was still on the
15 ship but it was different. I was laying on a long silver chair with
a light over me like I was in a hospital. The walls were radiating
a violet purple, the floor was glowing white and the top bar that
was connecting the middle table to the ceiling was glowing
blue. I turned to my left to see what was behind me and what
20 I saw was space. Stars and meteors were floating outside the
window. Venus was so close I could see the rocks floating in
its ring. I got up to observe the table when a metal door
opened up to reveal something. Or someone. It had a
humanoid body and a handsome face but with extraordinary
25 features. It had grey skin that looked like sandpaper with
glitter. It was wearing a white lab coat and black pants while
holding what looked like an iPad but longer.

Resolução comentada

'Or someone' enfatiza a possibilidade de ser alguém (um ser) e não apenas algo.

O narrador diz 'reveal something. Or someone.'. A conjunção 'or' corrige/reformula a ideia anterior, destacando que o que apareceu era uma pessoa/ser, ou seja, a ênfase recai em 'someone'. Isso se confirma na descrição seguinte, que fala de um corpo humanoide.

B) Inverte a ênfase. C) 'Or' não exclui 'something' por completo; apenas dá destaque a 'someone'. D) Se não houvesse diferença, não haveria o efeito de ênfase da frase isolada.

Is There Life On Other Planets?

The ultimate goal of NASA's exoplanet program is to find
unmistakable signs of current life on a planet beyond Earth.
How soon that can happen depends on two unknowns: the
prevalence of life in the galaxy and how lucky we get as we
5 take those first, tentative, exploratory steps.
Our early planet finding missions, such as NASA’s Kepler
and its extended incarnation, K2, or the James Webb Space
Telescope, could yield bare bones evidence of the
potentially habitable worlds. James Webb, designed in part
10 to investigate gas giants and super-Earths, might find an
outsized version of our planet. NASA's Nancy Grace Roman
Space Telescope or the Wide-Field Infrared Survey
Telescope, could zero in on a distant planet’s reflected light
to detect the signatures of oxygen, water vapor, or some
15 other powerful indication of possible life.
But unless we get lucky, the search for signs of life could
take decades. Discovering another blue-white marble hidden
in the star field, like a sand grain on the beach, will probably
require an even larger imaging telescope. Designs are
20 already underway for that next-generation planet finder, to
be sent aloft in the 2030s or 2040s.
MIT physics professor Sara Seager looks for possible
chemical combinations that could signal the presence of
alien life. She and her biochemistry colleagues first focused
25 on the six main elements associated with life on Earth:
carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur and
hydrogen.
“We’re going to have so few planets, we have to get lucky,”
Seager said. “I don’t want to miss anything. I don’t want to
30 miss it because we weren’t smart enough to think of some
molecule.”

Resolução comentada

Detectar mundos semelhantes à Terra exigirá telescópios de imagem maiores e mais avançados.

O 2º parágrafo após 'But unless we get lucky' diz que encontrar outro 'blue-white marble' (a Terra vista de longe) 'will probably require an even larger imaging telescope'. Ou seja, a demora decorre da necessidade de telescópios mais avançados.

A) O texto não fala de falta de exoplanetas na zona habitável. B) Radiação cósmica não é mencionada. C) O número de astrônomos não é citado como razão.

'Zero in on' significa focalizar, concentrar-se em algo.

A expressão phrasal verb 'zero in on' significa focar/concentrar-se em algo. Assim, o telescópio vai se concentrar na luz refletida pelo planeta distante, para detectar assinaturas de oxigênio, vapor d'água etc.

A) Contradiz o texto, que diz que ele usará a luz refletida. B) O telescópio analisa a luz refletida e não gera luz própria. D) 'Zero in' não tem relação com 'ground zero' nem com a origem da vida.

A expressão poética designa a descoberta de outra Terra no universo.

'Blue-white marble' remete à imagem da Terra vista do espaço (a 'bola de gude azul'). Com a imagem 'hidden in the star field, like a sand grain on the beach', o texto usa linguagem poética para falar em encontrar outro planeta como a Terra.

Rocket Man

My father was a rocket man
He often went to Jupiter or Mercury, to Venus or to Mars
My mother and I would watch the sky
And wonder if a falling star
5 Was a ship becoming ashes with a rocket man inside

My mother and I
Never went out
Unless the sky was cloudy or the sun was blotted out
10 Or to escape the pain
We only went out when it rained

My father was a rocket man
He loved the world beyond the world, the sky beyond
15 the sky
And on my mother's face, as lonely as the world in
space
I could read the silent cry
That if my father fell into a star
20 We must not look upon that star again

Tears are often jewel-like
My mother's went unnoticed by my father, for his jewels
were the stars
25 And in my father's eyes I knew he had to find
In the sanctity of distance something brighter than a star
One day they told us the sun had flared and taken him
inside

Resolução comentada

Não se infere que a família se importasse menos com ele com o passar do tempo.

O poema mostra que a mãe sofria em silêncio ('silent cry') e que a família evitava olhar a estrela onde o pai caiu, sinal de dor, não de indiferença. Já se infere que o pai morreu, que não se realizava na Terra e que ignorava as lágrimas da mãe.

Análise das alternativas

A) Inferível: o sol o levou ('taken him inside'). B) Inferível: ele buscava algo além do mundo. C) Inferível: as lágrimas da mãe passaram despercebidas por ele.

Referência: Rocket Man, estrofes 3 e 4.

Read the sentences and choose (T) True or (F) False.
( ) The mother and child live in constant sorrow, which makes them emotionally withdrawn.
( ) “The sun had flared and taken him inside” is a literal way of describing the father’s death.
( ) The father seeks something "brighter than a star", implying that he is searching for meaning in his family.
( ) "We only went out when it rained" reflects the family’s grief, as they seek the clear skies that remind them of their loss.
( ) The father’s life as a rocket man symbolizes both his adventurous spirit and the emotional distance with his family.
Check the correct sequence.
Selecione uma alternativa

Resolução comentada

Sequência correta: T - F - F - F - T.

1) V: mãe e filho vivem em tristeza e se isolam. 2) F: a frase é metafórica (o pai foi 'levado' pelo sol). 3) F: a busca por algo mais brilhante que uma estrela leva-o para longe da família. 4) F: eles só saem com chuva ou céu nublado, para evitar o céu claro que lembra a perda. 5) V: a vida de astronauta simboliza o espírito aventureiro e a distância emocional.

Análise das alternativas

B, C e D) Erradas: divergem em ao menos um item, como tratar a frase do sol como literal ou ver a busca do pai como foco na família.

Selecione uma alternativa

Resolução comentada

'Unless' introduz a condição para eles saírem.

'Unless' significa 'a menos que'. A frase diz que mãe e filho nunca saíam, a menos que o céu estivesse nublado ou o sol coberto. Portanto a condição se refere a eles saírem (go out).

Análise das alternativas

B) Errada: 'never go out' é o comportamento geral, não a condição. C) Errada: escapar da dor é outra circunstância ('Or to escape the pain'). D) Errada: a condição é de tempo nublado, não especificamente 'durante o dia'.

Referência: Conjunção condicional 'unless'.

What pain did the mother and son want to escape when it rained?
Selecione uma alternativa

Resolução comentada

A dor que queriam evitar é saber que o que o pai mais amava o levou.

Na letra, mãe e filho só saíam quando chovia para escapar da dor. O poema mostra que o pai amava 'o mundo além do mundo' e o céu, e a perda dele para o sol/estrelas é a causa da dor. Logo, a dor é saber que aquilo que o pai mais amava o levou.

Análise das alternativas

A) Errada: não há desejo de seguir o pai ao espaço. B) Errada: eles foram informados da morte, não há dor por desconhecimento do momento. C) Errada: a dor não vem de incerteza sobre a nave.

Referência: Rocket Man, estrofes 2 e 3.

Considere uma certa barra de metal que possui um comprimento inicial L₀, em centímetros. Essa barra, ao ser aquecida, sofre apenas um aumento em seu comprimento diretamente proporcional à temperatura (ºC) de aquecimento.
O comprimento da barra pode ser calculado, dependendo da temperatura, através de uma função como esboçado no gráfico abaixo.
Gráfico cartesiano de uma reta crescente: eixo vertical L (cm) e eixo horizontal T (°C). A reta corta o eixo vertical acima da origem; linhas tracejadas indicam que para T = 10 o comprimento é 79,84 e para T = 20 o comprimento é 79,88.
