Text 3: Extreme heat intensifies across south-west US
A heat dome over the US south-west has translated (1) into extreme heat warnings from coast to coast,
which continue to affect more than 110 million people.
Temperature records could be broken in as many as 38 cities.
In Las Vegas, the intense heatwave is threatening on Sunday to break or tie the city's record high of 117F
(47.2C).
It comes as soaring temperatures are also hitting southern Europe and Canada is battling the worst season of
wildfires in its history.
Scientists have long warned (2) that climate change linked to human activities will lead to an increase in the
severity and frequency of extreme weather events.
Elsewhere in the south-western US, hundreds of firefighters have been battling brush fires in blistering heat
and low humidity on the outskirts of Los Angeles.

Audit data analytics, machine learning, and full population
testing
Technologies are evolving at an unprecedented pace and pose
significant challenges and opportunities to companies and related
parties, including the accounting profession. In today’s business
environment, it is inevitable for companies to react quickly to
changing conditions and markets. Many companies are seeking
better ways to utilize emerging technologies to transform how
they conduct business. We live in an age of information
explosion, with technologies capable of making revolutionary
changes in various industries and reshaping business models. At
present, many companies view data as one of their most valuable
assets. They amass an unprecedented amount of data from their
daily business operation and strive to harness the power of data
through analytics. Emerging technologies like robotic process
automation, machine learning, and data analytics also impact the
accounting profession. It is important for the profession to
understand the impacts, opportunities, and challenges of these
technologies.
Specifically, in audit and assurance areas, data analytics and
machine learning will lead to many changes in the foreseeable
future. Audit sampling is one such potential change. The use of
sampling in audits has been criticized since it only provides a
small snapshot of the entire population. To address this major
issue, this study introduces the idea of applying audit data
analytics and machine learning for full population testing through
the concept of “audit-by-exception” and “exceptional
exceptions.” In this way, the emphasis of audit work shifts from
“transaction examination” to “exception examination” and
prioritizes the exceptions based on different criteria.
Consequently, auditors can assess the associated risk based on
the entire population of the transactions and thus enhance the
effectiveness and efficiency of the audit process.
Adapted from the introduction to a study published in:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S240591882200006X

automation” (1st paragraph), “like” expresses:

Text 3A4
During the last century water infrastructure projects
involving large dams played a major role in the socio-economic
transformation of many countries. At the same time, in a
significant number of cases the benefits were not shared
equitably, and the negative impacts on the environmental and
sociocultural structures were excessive. In some cases their
economic performance was questionable. Diverging views have
arisen on the merits and demerits of dams, the roles they play,
and their alternatives in providing water and energy services.
However, recognition that such roles are complementary rather
than mutually exclusive has been growing as the dam debate has
moved forward.
It is envisaged that, as part of the global effort to improve
water and energy supplies, more dams will be constructed,
especially in developing countries, alongside other diverse
alternatives. There will, consequently, be a need to enhance the
benefits of dams and avoid many of their drawbacks by applying
better decision-making processes within the overall framework
of sustainability. There are complex issues around the planning
and management of dams in the context of sustainable
development which will need to be adequately considered and
addressed to achieve sustainable outcomes.
Dealing with the environmental and social challenges
within the context of meeting water and energy needs is at the
heart of the sustainability of projects involving dams. Dams are
one of the options, structural or non-structural, available to meet
specific water or energy needs. In many cases water and energy
services are best provided through a mix of options. Each case is
different. A decision to build a dam should emerge after a
comprehensive assessment of the full range of available options,
giving appropriate consideration to all aspects of sustainability.

Decision-making. Nairobi: The Secretariat of the Dams and Development Project, 2007. p. 10-1 (adapted).

Text 41A1-I
Tapioca is the starch extracted from the cassava root.
Cassava is a native vegetable of South America that grows in
tropical and subtropical regions. In addition to providing daily
nutrition for millions of people around the globe, tapioca has
become a popular substitute for wheat flour in gluten-free
baking. It is also very easy to digest, so it’s a good choice for
people with irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive issues.
The minerals in tapioca can provide important health
benefits. For example, calcium is important for keeping your
bones strong and preventing the development of osteoporosis.
Tapioca also contains iron, an essential mineral we need to help
transport oxygen throughout the body. In addition, tapioca
contains no saturated fat. Reducing saturated fat has been found
to lower the risk of heart disease. Tapioca starch contains no fat
or cholesterol, which makes it a healthy choice for those
watching their dietary cholesterol and saturated fat intake.
Tapioca is also very low in sodium.

“I have to work with computers and phones all the time in my
work, either sitting in front of a screen or living by the apps
on my mobile. I think the number of voice-to-voice phone
calls has gone down a lot in the last few years, but with
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and so on, I feel sort of
chained to technology the entire length of the working week.
So when the weekend comes, there’s nothing I like better
than switching off the computer, the mobile and the landline
and enjoying real peace and quiet. We live near to some
fields and open country, and I can listen to the birds sing, go
for long walks, maybe drop in at our local pub and have a
drink with some of the locals. It’s not exciting, I grant you, but it’s very relaxing and helps me remember I’m a human
being, not a part of some computerised machine. Of course,
by Sunday night I’m already thinking about the working week
ahead, but never mind. I’ve had those two days to recharge
my batteries, as they say.”
Teaching English. The British Council, 2016. Adapted.
Based on the above extract, it is correct to say:
I. The person enjoys spending weekends away from technology, shutting off the computer, mobile, and landline to embrace peace and quiet in nature.
II. The number of voice-to-voice phone calls has significantly increased in the last few years, according to the person's observation.
III. The person prefers spending the weekends in a more relaxed and nature-oriented setting.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão.
BRAVE TOT I lasered my baby's face - I was called a
'monster' by trolls, but I don't care... I'd do it again
(1º§)The decision was not one she took lightly but saw
her accused of being a "child abuser" and "monster" by
trolls on social media. The 34-year-old gave birth to little
Kingsley in January 2022 and instantly noticed he had a
maroon birthmark covering the right side of his face.
(2º§)Medically known as port-wine stain birthmarks, they
are linked to conditions like glaucoma, which can cause
blindness, and Sturge-Weber syndrome, an abnormality
of the brain that causes epileptic seizures and stunts
development. Since Kingsley was diagnosed with both,
Brooke and her partner Kewene, 27, made the difficult
decision to get laser treatment __ the tot's face when he
was just five-months-old. "People didn't understand why
we were lasering him at such a young age," she tells
Fabulous. "We received a lot of hate. "Nobody had really
heard of these types of birthmarks and a lot of people
assumed they would just fade over time, like others."
Brooke, from the Gold Coast, Aus, decided to share
Kingsley's story on social media to raise awareness but
was savagely hounded and mum-shamed by trolls. "We
started receiving comments online calling us child
abusers," she says. "That we need to let him decide
when he is older, that our child would hate us when he
gets older. "That we were sick in the head because it was
purely for cosmetic reasons, that we were faking it, that
he looked awful with or without it, that we were exploiting
him. "I was a monster, I was hungry for fame, we were
horrible parents."
(3º§)Brooke used to respond to trolls out of anger but has
now learnt to block them out, confident knowing laser
therapy was the right choice for little Kingsley. She urged
people to remember that not all birthmarks are "just a
birthmark" and can pose serious threats to a baby's
development. Port-wine stain birthmarks often darken,
thicken and develop vascular nodules, which are
susceptible to spontaneous bleeding or haemorrhage.
The increased tissue mass under the soft tissue of the
birthmark can also lead to further disfigurement of the
facial features and leave large growths on the face. As
Kingsley's birthmark was on his face, he was at a higher
risk of these complications. The tot has to have close
ongoing maintenance due to his conditions, including two
laser sessions a year, as there's no cure. He was
diagnosed with glaucoma and Sturge-Weber Syndrome
soon after birth and started experiencing seizures __
epilepsy in October last year.
(4º§)Kingsley has been rushed to A&E ten times already
this year due to seizures, alongside four laser treatments
and four operations on his eyes for glaucoma. At first,
Kingsley had to get laser treatments every month to get
the best clearance before his skin starts getting exposed
__ the sun and ageing. "We were extremely nervous for
his first laser treatment," Brooke recalls. "Even though it
was only two minutes worth of laser, my heart broke for
my darling boy. "Although we knew it was the right thing
to do, it still didn't make it easier."
(5º§)Brooke describes Kingsley as "the happiest, most
loving and sweetest boy you will ever meet" despite the
pain he has endured. Now one-year-old, the tot's
birthmark has been mostly cleared by the laser
treatments but he is still suffering from its complications -
something he will have to live with for his whole life."I
want to help normalise birthmarks and spread as much
awareness as I can," Brooke says. "So uneducated
people can stop the judgement and also make others
aware of what families like mine are going through. "It's
not 'just' a birthmark."

Life just might exist on Mars after all
The red planet may have once been home to an
abundance of microbes. New studies suggest it's possible
that some hardy microbes managed to survive underground
in a frozen state.
About 3.5 billion years ago, two of the planets that
orbited the sun may have had biospheres of similar bulk.
One, Earth, evolved in a way that allowed life to flourish and
splinter into endless forms most beautiful. Mars, the other
world, followed a different path.
Today the Martian surface is hostile to life as we
know it, but as this scientific story goes, Mars may have once
hosted a rich abundance of microbes. Residing in the
planet’s briny underworld and shielded from the lethal
radiation that bathes the surface, these organisms could
have grown in nooks and ____________, multiplying until
their collective heft rivaled Earth’s cache of life. Called
methanogens, Mars’s microbes would have inhaled
atmospheric hydrogen and carbon dioxide and exhaled
methane gas - and in a twist, they may have turned out to be
their own worst enemy.
Over time, their growing, insatiable appetite would
have robbed the Martian atmosphere of hydrogen - a
powerful greenhouse gas during the planet’s early days -
ultimately casting a deadly freeze over the planet and
driving microbial populations into deeper, warmer crannies.
How long those burrowing microbes could have survived in
the deep is unknown. It’s possible they were only a shortlived flash of life on an otherwise sterile world.
“Maybe extinction is the cosmic default of life in the
universe,” says Boris Sauterey of the Institut de Biologie de
l’Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. “It’s not the process of
life ____________ that is limiting; it’s life maintaining itself
that is limiting.”
But perhaps, more than 30 feet beneath the surface
and encased in ice, these ancient single-celled organisms
achieved a state of dormancy - a sort of cryopreserved
slumber, ready to perk up when more life-friendly conditions
arise.
The Martian interior may not be as lifeless as its
face. It could host a world of alien organisms that are
capable of waiting thousands of years between each turn of
their metabolic engines.
This ____________ may sound farfetched, but
recent results from scientists modeling the habitability of
ancient Mars and studying the hardiness of microbes in labs
and beneath our own planet’s surface all point in the same
direction: It’s a long shot, but it’s possible life evolved on
Mars and still exists. And scientists may just find signs of that
life when meteors barrel into Mars and excavate buried
layers of ice, or when new spacecraft arrive to plumb this
underground realm.
