Text 2 – Computers

https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~mitra/csFall2006/cs 303/lectures/history.html)


When you hear the term computers, it’s difficult to imagine different devices from a laptop or a small desktop. Believe it or not, they weren’t always like they are today. They used to be very large and heavy, sometimes as big as an entire room. Some technology professors historically define computers, as “a device that can help with computations”. The word computation involves counting, calculating, adding, subtracting, etc. The modern definition of a computer is a little wider, because in our day and age, computers store, compile, analyze and compute an enormous amount of information. Ancient computers were very interesting. Actually, the first computer may have been located in Great Britain, at Stonehenge. It is a man-made circle of large stones. Citizens used it to measure the weather and forecast the change of seasons. Some specialists say that another ancient computer is the abacus. It was used by the early Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians to count and calculate. Even though they are no longer in use, certainly, these early devices are fascinating. Computers are embedded in our history and some people say that we are completely dependent of them. No matter the complexity of the task, easy or difficult, some people can’t do anything without them. Do you contest or share this opinion? 

Based ONLY on the information available in the text, identify the modern historical definition of the term “computer”.

Read the definition of subordinate clause and choose the correct alternative as an example of it. “Subordination is a non-symmetrical relation, holding between two clauses in such a way that one is a constituent or part of the other” (QUIRK AND GREENBAUM, 1976, p. 309). The device of subordination enables to organize various clauses, for instance, the first clause is called “main” or “principal” clause, and the second clause is a dependent clause or a subordinate one.

Text 1- English as a global language
(Adapted from Teaching English Today: context
and objectives, Holden & Nobre, 2018, p.03)

All languages reflect the culture of the countries and regions where they have developed and are used. However, some languages are also used as a means of communication between a wide range of non-native speakers and contexts. In this way, the communication develops new priorities to reflect those contexts.
Today, English is probably the prime example of a global language. It is used to communicate in areas such as the workplace, science and technology, the arts and in the world of business. This is why so many parents are keen of their children to start learning it at an ever-earlier age. Students, too, realize that English in more than just a school subject: it is important for their own future success. This realization can be used to your advantage as a teacher:

Your students should be aware that English is widely used among non-native speakers in a variety of contexts in their own environments. It is no longer just linked with going to the US or Britain.
They are more likely to be motivated if they feel they are being given appropriate materials and practice for their own needs, which is easier to do nowadays, since English is present almost everywhere.
In fact, you are part of this world where English is used, however imperfectly, in real life, as well as being part of that other, classroom world. This gives your role even more importance.

The intercultural context

There are, then, clear practical and economic reasons why it is important for as many of your students as possible to feel positive about learning English, and ultimately, to feel confident about using it. However, there is also an equally important reason, which applies to all languages: their social function.
Learning and using another language can put people into contact, directly or indirectly, with others from different societies and cultures. It exposes them to different ways of thinking, different ways of communicating, different values. This, in turn, encourages them to think about their own culture, values and way of life. They realize there is not just one way of doing something, but many different ones.
In other words, as well as equipping learners with practical skills, learning a foreign language extends their horizons, which is one of the important aims of education in most countries.
Read the difference from Phonetics and Phonology. Both are complementary branches of Linguistics. The aim is to investigate and study the sounds of words. The first one is concerned with studying the words sounds in their concrete realization; the second one studies the phonemes of words. Now read this sentence: “there is also an equally important reason”, the underlined word has Phonetics realization from a to an, because the first pronounced sound of the word ‘equally’. Choose the alternative in which the word(s) is(are) preceded by an.

Texto V

Bastam alguns segundos para que sua memória não seja mais confiável
              A percepção do que aconteceu pode ser tão influenciada por nossas
              expectativas, e nos levar a ilusões, que nem as lembranças de curto prazo estão a salvo.

     Nem sempre nos lembramos das coisas do jeito que elas realmente aconteceram. Cientistas já sabiam que as memórias de longo prazo são falhas, e não costumam ser um retrato fiel da realidade. Agora, uma pesquisa mostrou que até mesmo nossas recordações mais recentes, de poucos segundos atrás, podem nos enganar.
           A equipe realizou uma série de experimentos em mais de 400 participantes, em que mostravam letras aleatórias dispostas em círculo na tela de um computador. Primeiro, os participantes viam rapidamente um conjunto de letras; algumas eram normais, outras eram espelhadas.
      Depois, eles eram apresentados a um segundo conjunto, que só servia como uma distração – os pesquisadores instruíam todos a ignorarem esse conjunto. Por fim, os participantes deveriam associar uma letra à sua posição no primeiro círculo; eles recebiam uma posição, e deveriam apontar qual letra estava lá na primeira vez. Além da questão, avaliaram a própria confiança nessa escolha. Para evitar levar os chutes em consideração, os pesquisadores focaram nos participantes mais certos de suas respostas.

Texto III
Presa do ódio (Cruz e Souza)
Da tua alma na funda galeria Descendo às vezes, eu às vezes sinto Que como o mais feroz lobo faminto Teu ódio baixa de alcateia espia.
Do desespero a noite cava e fria, De boêmias vis o pérfido absinto Pôs no teu ser um negro labirinto, Desencadeou sinistra ventania.
Desencadeou a ventania rouca, Surda, tremenda, desvairada, louca, Que a tua alma abalou de lado a lado,
Que te inflamou de cóleras supremas E deixou-te nas trágicas algemas Do teu ódio sangrento acorrentado!
No texto III, é possível afirmar que o ódio seja um produto de uma experiência guardada na memória, estabelecendo-se um possível diálogo temático com o texto V. No entanto, a linguagem empregada naquele diferencia-se da que se vê neste, principalmente, em função ______. Assinale a alternativa que preencha corretamente a lacuna.
