Português
Em O vôo da guará vermelha, Irene conta (e ouve) histórias de
“fazer durar” ou estender o tempo, atitude similar a de Sherazade,
que, para evitar a sua morte pelo sultão, seu esposo, cumpre a tarefa
de, à noite, contar-lhe um “conto”, deixando a história em suspenso
para que ele tome gosto e queira ouvir a continuação na noite
seguinte. No que diz respeito a O vôo da guará vermelha, pode-se
afirma

Literatura
O vôo da guará vermelha traz à tona momentos em que a sinestesia
e recursos gráficos e fônicos, mais recorrentes na poesia, têm liberdade
de se fazerem presentes na narrativa. Pode-se dizer que,
I - em “cores desmaiadas, manchadas, nas cores, todas as cores, em trapos de vestir, em colchas e cortinas, almofadas desbotadas e bonecas estropiadas,nos restos de tintas e papéis nas paredes [...] cores de vida, fanada mas vida, ainda pulsante, cores redobradas” (p. 15), é possível entender o chamar a atenção para o vermelho que é presente em toda a obra, seja com o significado de vida (paixão, desejo de viver), seja com o significado de morte (ave/mulher ferida, condenada = guará (vermelha), mulher (de vestido vermelho = prostituta).
II - em “Esta mulher saber ler!, leia mais, lia tudinho, me diga onde está ‘guará’ e onde está ‘vermelha’ e ‘sangue’ e ‘espinhos’ e ‘penas’. Aqui, ali, acolá, Rosálio corre as linhas buscando a guará vermelha nos espinheiros das letras até vê-la com clareza distinguir luminosos, espinhos, penas e sangue” (p. 24), os termos em destaque (guará, vermelho,sangue, espinhos, pena) compõem um conciso inventário terminológico que induz o leitor a entender que, articulados como se encontram, aludem à vida, paixão e morte de Irene.
III - em “Rosálio olha intrigado tentando compreender que, quando lê ‘avó’, por quê, quando lê ‘avô’, parece que alguma coisa lembra-lhe a ave guará? A mulher ri da pergunta e lhe explica o ‘a’, o ‘v’, o ‘ó’, o ‘ô’, e o ‘e’ e ele fica deslumbrado com as letras do abc” (p. 42), constrói-se uma harmonia fônica em que os grafemas e os sons de ‘ave’, ‘avó’ e ‘avô’ são, poeticamente, imaginados na seqüência “ave, avó, avô, guará”, jogo lingüístico-poético que atualiza, na história contada, o título da obra, disseminado ao longo da narrativa (ave – guará; avó/avô – vôo, guará – ave de coloração vermelha);
Está(ão) correta(s) a(s) proposição(ões)

Q1352651
Português
Em “Os olhos da mulher, súplica e esperança, o meio sorriso, ferida
aberta no meio da cara [...] Mas ela nada diz de sua boca, impõe com
as mãos febris, com as pernas magras, com o corpo esquálido de
bicho fêmea que ele lhe entregue seu corpo duro de bicho macho [...]
Ela vê volume nos bolsos dele, mete as mãos e as traz cheias de brita
que atira pela janela, o dinheiro, cadê o dinheiro?” (p.16-17) e em
“Irene [...] provado devagarinho, por primeira vez, quem sabe?, o
sabor que pode ter tocar-se o corpo de um homem por nada, só por
carinho” (p. 57), é possível afirmar
I - que o fio de esperança por dias melhores, alimentado por Irene, depois de conhecer Rosálio, opera uma mudança na sua forma de ver e de sentir o outro.
II - que, embora lutando por sobreviver e alimentar um “guri e uma velha”, Irene encontra momentos para pensar em si, cuidar de si, ao mesmo tempo em que cuida do outro (Rosálio);
III - que não há alusão a uma possível mudança na forma de Irene sentir a si e ao outro: ela apenas quis agradá-lo (como mostra o fragmento), depois retoma a dura vida de prostituta, uma vez que a sobrevivência é um imperativo maior que “o prazer de ler”;
Está(ão) correta(s) apenas a(s) proposição(ões)

The cock is crowing,
TEXT A
Written in March
The cock is crowing,
The stream is flowing,
The small birds twitter,
The lake doth glitter,
The green field sleeps in the sun;
The oldest and youngest
Are at work with the strongest;
The cattle are grazing,
Their heads never raising;
There are forty feeding like one!
Like an army defeated
The snow hath retreated,
And now doth fare ill
On the top of the bare hill;
The ploughboy is whooping-anon-anon
There’s joy in the mountains;
There’s life in the fountains;
Small clouds are sailing,
Blue sky prevailing;
The rain is over and gone!
By: William Wordsworth
Vocabulary: Hath = has; doth = does; fare ill = to do badly;
ploughboy = a country boy; whooping = cry of joy; anon = soon

You Can Blame the Bugs
The West epitomizes individualistic, do-your-own-thing cultures, ones where the rights of the individual equal and often trump those of the group and where differences are valued. East Asian societies exalt the larger society; behavior is constrained by social roles, conformity is prized, outsiders shunned. […] But the reason a society falls where it does on the individualism-collectivism spectrum has been pretty much a mystery. Now a team of researchers has come up with a surprising explanation: disease-causing microbes. Societies that evolved in places with an abundance of pathogens, they argue, had to adopt behaviors that add up to collectivism, for reasons of sheer preservation. Societies that arose in places with fewer pathogens had the luxury of individualism, which is less effective at limiting the spread of disease but brings with it other social benefits, such as innovation.

TEXT D
PARAGRAPH 1: The payment of fees by students is widely seen as
a novelty. In fact this ‘innovation’ marks a return to the medieval
origins of universities. At that time student money meant student
power on a huge scale. Medieval student power was focused on the
University of Bologna. […] This power was based on their economic
grip over their teachers.[…] Most university lecturers depended for
their academic incomes on teaching fees collected from their students.
[…] The power which students derived from paying fees at Bologna
led to extensive control over the lecturing system. […]
PARAGRAPH 2: For what was a lecturer punished? He was fined if
he started the lectures a minute late or if he went beyond the approved
time. […] The lecturer was also fined if he failed to cover the syllabus
according to an agreed timetable. […]
PARAGRAPH 3: All students were encouraged to denounce
lecturers who were absent without leave or who contravened the
statutes in any other way. In addition, there was also an organized
system of secret denunciations. Four students were elected in secret
to spy on the lecturers. […]
PARAGRAPH 4: Student power at Bologna lasted a little over one
hundred years […] As __ its rise, its demise is linked directly __ the

Could Women Grow Their Own Sperm?
Anna Smajdor, an ethicist at the University of East Anglia, claims that people’s control over their reproductive choices will be dramatically altered if sperm and eggs can be created from stray skin cells. A woman could, for example, pick up a bit of bodily detritus from a prominent man, take it to a laboratory and give birth to his genetic child. Smajdor says that what has been termed ‘reprogrammable biology’ gives us the capacity to make cells act in new ways, blurring what we mean by an egg or sperm or even embryo. She points out that the boundaries between these categories have become very fluid, with the development of techniques that allow us to alter their genetic make-up or prompt them to behave in new ways. This raises very perplexing questions about ethics, law and regulation.

possibility to produce sperm and eggs, although they might object if making
gametes involved destroying human embryos. Research into the reproductive
process has triggered debates among scientists about how far human
reproduction should be altered. All agree that men should be capable of producing
eggs: the fact that men have an X chromosome, like women, should make it
possible. Thus, male gay couples could, with the help of a surrogate mother,
have their own biological baby. But things are more complicated when it comes to women becoming fathers: some scientists believe that the
Y (male) chromosome is so important to sperm that attempts to use female cells will be doomed. But on one point, everyone can agree: for
women to father children and men to make eggs would be as significant a breakthrough as the birth of the first test tube baby 30 years ago.

Could Women Grow Their Own Sperm?
Anna Smajdor, an ethicist at the University of East Anglia, claims that people’s control over their reproductive choices will be dramatically altered if sperm and eggs can be created from stray skin cells. A woman could, for example, pick up a bit of bodily detritus from a prominent man, take it to a laboratory and give birth to his genetic child. Smajdor says that what has been termed ‘reprogrammable biology’ gives us the capacity to make cells act in new ways, blurring what we mean by an egg or sperm or even embryo. She points out that the boundaries between these categories have become very fluid, with the development of techniques that allow us to alter their genetic make-up or prompt them to behave in new ways. This raises very perplexing questions about ethics, law and regulation.
