Q1882482 Inglês
Os Parâmetros curriculares nacionais de língua estrangeira (1998) afirmam que o ensino de uma língua estrangeira na escola tem um papel importante à medida que permite aos alunos entrar em contato com outras culturas, com modos diferentes de ver e interpretar a realidade. Na tentativa de facilitar a aprendizagem, no entanto, há uma tendência a se organizar os conteúdos de maneira excessivamente simplificada, em torno de diálogos pouco significativos para os alunos ou de pequenos textos, muitas vezes descontextualizados, seguidos de exploração das palavras e das estruturas gramaticais, trabalhados em forma de exercícios de tradução, cópia, transformação e repetição.

Analise as asserções a seguir e a relação proposta entre elas.

I - Ao se entender a linguagem como prática social, como possibilidade de compreender e expressar opiniões, valores, sentimentos, informações, oralmente e por escrito, o estudo de palavras e de estruturas deve ser interessante para o estudante, em relação à língua, principalmente
PORQUE
II - permite a oportunidade de arriscar-se a interpretá-la e a utilizá-la em suas funções de comunicação e esse estudante acabará vendo sentido em aprendê-la.

Indicate whether each of the following statements, about the behaviourist learning theory, is true or false.

( ) The behaviourist learning was the dominant psychological theory of the 1980s and 1990s.
( ) According to this theory, language learning is like any other kind of learning in that it involves habit formation.
( ) It was believed that all behaviour, including the kind of complex behavior found in language acquisition, could be explained in terms of habits.
( ) Habits are formed when learner respond to stimuli in the environment and subsequently have their responses reinforced so that they are remembered; thus, a habit is not a stimulus-response connection.

In English as a Global Language (2007), David Crystal presents a lively and factual account of the rise of English as a global language.

Consider the following statements.

I – Dialects emerge because they give identi ty to the groups which own them.
II – The study of language history shows that if two social groups come to be separated only by a mountain range or a wide river, they will soon begin to develop diff erent habits of speech.
III – When a country becomes independent, there is a natural reacti on to reinforce the linguisti c character imposed by its colonial past, avoiding the indigenous language, to provide a symbol for new nati onhood.
IV – The drive for identi ty was parti cularly dominant in the second half of the twenti eth century, when the number of independent nati ons dramati cally grew, and the membership of the United Nati ons more than tripled.

      When using technology to provide services, practitioner competence and the well-being of the client remain primary. Social workers who use technology to provide services should evaluate their ability to assess the relative benefits and risks of providing social work services using technology (for example, in-person services may be necessary when clients pose a significant risk of self-harm or injurious behavior, are cognitively impaired, require sustained support by a social worker with whom they have an ongoing professional relationship, or are in crisis). 


      These professionals should also ensure that electronic social work services can be kept confidential. For example, the information provided by the client should only be accessible by those who require access and that the host of the server used for electronic communication agrees to abide by the privacy policies of the social worker. It is important to respect clear professional boundaries – for example, social workers should be mindful of boundary confusion that may result if they disclose personal information about themselves or others in an online setting to which clients have access.


      Besides, they should confirm the identity of the client to whom services are provided electronically at the beginning of each contact with the client (examples include confirming a client’s online consent with a telephone call; providing the client with a password, passcode, or image that is specifically for the client’s use when providing consent electronically).

   Early electronic computers such as Colossus made use of punched tape, a long strip of paper on which data was represented by a series of holes, a technology now obsolete. Electronic data storage, which is used in modern computers, dates from World War II, when a form of delay-line memory was developed to remove the clutter from radar signals, the first practical application of which was the mercury delay line. The first random-access digital storage device was the Williams tube, based on a standard cathode ray tube, but the information stored in it was volatile in that it had to be continuously refreshed, and thus was lost once power was removed. The earliest form of nonvolatile computer storage was the magnetic drum, invented in 1932 and used in the Ferranti Mark 1, the world’s first commercially available general-purpose electronic computer.

   Jack Kilby’s revolutionary idea was to make all the different components of a circuit out of the same flat block of semiconductor material. Not only would this get rid of wires and faulty connections, it would make the entire circuit much more compact. Kilby demonstrated his first “integrated circuit” on Sept. 12, 1958.
   Six months later, in California, another engineer, Robert Noyce, independently came up with the idea of making an integrated circuit. Noyce’s chip was better suited to be manufactured in large numbers, and soon he was part of a young company called Intel.
   Thus was launched a revolution. The first chip-based computer was the first U.S. Air Force computer, built in 1961. The true potential of the integrated circuit was shown when Texas Instruments unveiled the pocket calculator. Previously calculators had been bulky devices that needed to be plugged in to electrical mains. The pocket calculator, small enough to hold in one’s palm, had a chip inside and batteries were adequate to power it.
   Progress was rapid thereafter. Many have already heard of Moore’s law, which has become a mantra of the digital age. First put forward by the Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in the 1960s, it says that the processing power of a chip doubles every two years, while the price falls by half. For more than four decades, Moore’s law has held, driving incredible growth and miniaturization — and wealth.
  The question is whether the semiconductor industry can sustain this pace. Further increasing the processing power of chips is proving to be problematic as certain fundamental physical barriers are being reached. At the same time, new frontiers are opening up. The quest is on to make chips that are powered by light instead of electricity, which will enable much faster computers.

Q1877926 Inglês
   In May 2021, a hole was found in a robotic arm aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The suspected culprit was a piece of rogue space junk. While thankfully no astronauts were injured, it has re-focussed attention on the growing problem of orbital debris.

How did we get here?
   It’s easy to forget that just seven decades ago the Moon was the only thing orbiting the Earth. On 1 January 2021 there were 6,542 satellites in orbit. Tellingly, only just over half of them were active. That’s a lot of useless metal careering around the planet at 28,000 kph — ten times faster than a bullet.

How bad is the problem?
   Very bad and getting worse. Estimates suggest there are currently half a million pieces of debris the size of a marble or larger and 100 million pieces of debris above one millimeter across. Yet only 27,000 pieces are actively tracked by the US Department of Defense.

What is Kessler syndrome?
   It’s a catastrophic chain of events in which a satellite is shattered by a piece of space junk (or a collision with another satellite) and the resulting debris destroys more satellites creating more junk and so on in a never-ending cascade. It’s a domino effect – one piece falls and then takes the rest with it – and is named after NASA scientist Donald Kessler, who outlined the dangers back in 1978.

What can we do about it?
   Better regulation of new launches would help, as right now it’s a bit of a free-for-all. There are existing regulations in place to try and mitigate the dangers, such as a 25-year de-orbit rule for missions in low-Earth orbit. However, ESA’s Space Debris Environment Report says that less than 60 per cent of those flying in low-Earth orbit currently stick to the rules.
