Q1264348 Literatura
Virgília é que já se não lembrava da meia dobra; toda ela estava concentrada em mim, nos meus olhos, na minha vida, no meu pensamento; – era o que dizia, e era verdade.
Há umas plantas que nascem e crescem depressa; outras são tardias e pecas. O nosso amor era daquelas; brotou com tal ímpeto e tanta seiva, que, dentro em pouco, era a mais vasta, folhuda e exuberante criatura dos bosques. Não lhes poderei dizer, ao certo, os dias que durou esse crescimento. Lembra-me, sim, que, em certa noite, abotoou-se a flor, ou o beijo, se assim lhe quiserem chamar, um beijo que ela me deu, trêmula, – coitadinha, – trêmula de medo, porque era ao portão da chácara. Uniu- -nos esse beijo único, – breve como a ocasião, ardente como o amor, prólogo de uma vida de delícias, de terrores, de remorsos, de prazeres que rematavam em dor, de aflições que desabrochavam em alegria, – uma hipocrisia paciente e sistemática, único freio de uma paixão sem freio, – vida de agitações, de cóleras, de desesperos e de ciúmes, que uma hora pagava à farta e de sobra; mas outra hora vinha e engolia aquela, como tudo mais, para deixar à tona as agitações e o resto, e o resto do resto, que é o fastio e a saciedade: tal foi o livro daquele prólogo.

(ASSIS, M. Memórias póstumas de Brás-Cubas. São Paulo: Companhia Nacional, 2004. p.128.)
Sobre o modo como o enlace amoroso entre Brás-Cubas e Virgília é narrado, considere as afirmativas a seguir.

I. A expressão “beijo único” denota a intensidade do momento vivido pelas personagens, que concretizam ali o enlace amoroso.
II. Há certas retomadas de valores românticos, visto que se trata de uma história de amor impossível, capaz de levar os amantes à morte.
III. O narrador se esforça para dar um caráter sublime à sua relação com Virgília, buscando a complacência do leitor para com o adultério praticado por ela.
IV. O trecho traz uma antecipação dos sentimentos contraditórios que os amantes experimentariam daquele dia em diante.

Assinale a alternativa correta.

Q1264351 Literatura
A um Poeta

Longe do estéril turbilhão da rua, Beneditino, escreve! No aconchego Do claustro, na paciência e no sossego, Trabalha, e teima, e lima, e sofre, e sua!
Mas que na forma se disfarce o emprego Do esforço; e a trama viva se construa De tal modo, que a imagem fique nua, Rica mas sóbria, como um templo grego.
Não se mostre na fábrica o suplício Do mestre. E, natural, o efeito agrade, Sem lembrar os andaimes do edifício:
Porque a Beleza, gêmea da Verdade, Arte pura, inimiga do artifício, É a força e a graça na simplicidade.
(BILAC, O. Poesias. 15.ed. Rio de Janeiro: Francisco Alves, 1931. p.339.)

Com base nesse poema e nos conhecimentos sobre o Parnasianismo, considere as afirmativas a seguir.

I. O eu lírico defende que o sofrimento do poeta na feitura do poema fique explícito para o leitor atento.
II. O último verso ironiza a escola parnasiana por conta de seus excessos formais e exageros metalinguísticos.
III. O poema retoma certos valores preconizados pela tradição clássica, como a forma soneto, por exemplo.
IV. O poema é uma espécie de receita de como se fazer poesia, o que fica sugerido já em seu título.
Assinale a alternativa correta.

Q1264352 Literatura

Leia o texto a seguir.


Amanheci um dia pensando em casar. Foi uma ideia que me veio sem que nenhum rabo de saia a provocasse. Não me ocupo com amores, devem ter notado, e sempre me pareceu que mulher é um bicho esquisito, difícil de governar.

A que eu conhecia era Rosa do Marciano, muito ordinária. Havia conhecido também a Germana e outras dessa laia. Por elas, eu julgava todas. Não me sentia, pois, inclinado para nenhuma: o que sentia era desejo de preparar um herdeiro para as terras de São Bernardo.


(RAMOS, G. São Bernardo. 28.ed. Rio de Janeiro: Record, 1977. p.54.)

Com base na leitura prévia da obra São Bernardo, considere as afirmativas a seguir.

I. A narração em primeira pessoa é mediada por outras personagens, o padre e o jornalista, contratados por Paulo Honório para escrever suas memórias.
II. O narrador em primeira pessoa promove um aprofundamento psicológico de Paulo Honório e sua tomada de consciência perante a vida.
III. O tempo da história é o mesmo tempo dos acontecimentos, por isso a personagem se vê perdida em seus pensamentos, quase sempre confusos.
IV. O tempo dos acontecimentos é um elemento supérfluo, visto que o narrador não se preocupa em marcá-los de maneira objetiva, deixando-o em aberto.

Q1264358 Inglês
“All right”, said Mr Wonka, “stop here for a moment and catch your breath, and take a peek through the glass panel of this door. But don’t go in! Whatever you do, don’t go into THE NUT ROOM! If you go in, you’ll disturb the squirrels!”
“Who says I can’t!” shouted Veruca. “I’m going in to get myself one this very minute!
The moment she entered the room, one hundred squirrels stopped what they were doing and turned their heads and stared at her with small black beady eyes. Veruca Salt stopped also, and stared back at them. Then her gaze fell upon a pretty little squirrel sitting nearest to her at the end of the table. The squirrel was holding a walnut in its paws.
“All right”, Veruca said, “I’ll have you!”
She reached out her hands to grab the squirrel... but as she did so... in that first split second when her hands started to go forward, there was a sudden flash of movement in the room, like a flash of brown lightning, and every single squirrel around the table took a flying leap towards her and landed on her body.
Twenty-five of them caught hold of her right arm, and pinned it down.
Twenty-five more caught hold of her left arm, and pinned that down.
Twenty-five caught hold of her right leg and anchored it to the ground.
Twenty-four caught hold of her left leg.
And the one remaining squirrel (obviously the leader of them all) climbed up on to her shoulder and started tap-tap-tapping the wretched girl’s head with its knuckles.
“Save her!” screamed Mrs Salt. “Veruca! Come back! What are they doing to her?”
“They’re testing her to see if she’s a bad nut”, said Mr Wonka. “You watch”.
Veruca struggled furiously, but the squirrels held her tight and she couldn’t move. The squirrel on her shoulder went tap-tap-tapping the side of her head with his knuckles. Then all at once, the squirrels pulled Veruca to the ground and started carrying her across the floor.
My goodness, she is a bad nut after all”, said Mr Wonka. “Her head must have sounded quite hollow”.

Q1264361 Inglês

Last month, University of Washington sophomores Navid Azodi and Thomas Pryor won the 2016 Lemelson-MIT student prize for creating “SignAloud” – gloves that recognize the hand gestures of ASL (American Sign Language) and translate it into text and speech. The gloves are worn on both hands and contain sensors that record movement and send data wirelessly via Bluetooth to a central computer, which interprets words and phrases through a speaker.

The team was one of seven winners in the “Use It” undergraduate category that recognizes technology- -based inventions to improve consumer devices. They were awarded $10,000. For Azodi, the idea sprang from personal experience: At 18 months old, a severe seizure took away his speech. “I didn’t speak until I was seven years old,” he told NBC News. “I used non-verbal communication and basic sign language. For years, I had to go to speech therapy.” Doctors said Azodi would be handicapped and suggested he focus on English and sign language. Though he was born in the United States, Azodi’s parents were from Iran and spoke Farsi. “I understood what it was like to have a communication barrier and I could see how technology could be a useful tool,” he said. Azodi shared his story and the two inventors “bonded in problem solving,” according to Pryor, who studies astronautics engineering. Their prototype gloves, which cost about $100, are lightweight and compact, unlike other devices on the market. “They are a lot more ergonomic,” Pryor told NBC News. “Some devices use video input for gesture and others have impractical sensors all over the body. We wanted to focus on something that consumers would buy.” “We were not really expecting something of this magnitude,” Pryor told NBC News. “It was a personal project between the two of us and something fun to do. It goes to show what opportunities are around the corner.” The students reached out to the deaf community to guide them in grammar and syntax and how the gloves might be used. Pryor said getting feedback had been a “humbling experience.” The gloves have just as much potential for those who hear and want to learn ASL. They also have medical potential to help stroke victims during rehabilitation. Since the prize was announced, the students have received inquiries from investors and manufacturers, some offering technical support. But they caution that the gloves are just an early prototype and work still needs to be done before they are ready to market. “We want to take it further, to push it ahead,” Azodi said. “It has such great potential.”

It goes to show what opportunities are around the corner.” The students reached out to the deaf community to guide them in grammar and syntax and how the gloves might be used. Pryor said getting feedback had been a “humbling experience.” The gloves have just as much potential for those who hear and want to learn ASL. They also have medical potential to help stroke victims during rehabilitation. Since the prize was announced, the students have received inquiries from investors and manufacturers, some offering technical support. But they caution that the gloves are just an early prototype and work still needs to be done before they are ready to market. “We want to take it further, to push it ahead,” Azodi said. “It has such great potential.”

Last month, University of Washington sophomores Navid Azodi and Thomas Pryor won the 2016 Lemelson-MIT student prize for creating “SignAloud” – gloves that recognize the hand gestures of ASL (American Sign Language) and translate it into text and speech. The gloves are worn on both hands and contain sensors that record movement and send data wirelessly via Bluetooth to a central computer, which interprets words and phrases through a speaker.

The team was one of seven winners in the “Use It” undergraduate category that recognizes technology- -based inventions to improve consumer devices. They were awarded $10,000. For Azodi, the idea sprang from personal experience: At 18 months old, a severe seizure took away his speech. “I didn’t speak until I was seven years old,” he told NBC News. “I used non-verbal communication and basic sign language. For years, I had to go to speech therapy.” Doctors said Azodi would be handicapped and suggested he focus on English and sign language. Though he was born in the United States, Azodi’s parents were from Iran and spoke Farsi. “I understood what it was like to have a communication barrier and I could see how technology could be a useful tool,” he said. Azodi shared his story and the two inventors “bonded in problem solving,” according to Pryor, who studies astronautics engineering. Their prototype gloves, which cost about $100, are lightweight and compact, unlike other devices on the market. “They are a lot more ergonomic,” Pryor told NBC News. “Some devices use video input for gesture and others have impractical sensors all over the body.
