#Questão 1093392 - Língua Inglesa, Aspectos linguísticos | Linguistic aspects, CESPE / CEBRASPE, 2025, InoversaSul, Professor de Inglês - Ensino Fundamental

O hábito de buscar referências na língua materna pode ser uma das principais armadilhas no aprendizado de um novo idioma. Embora a língua inglesa esteja presente em boa parte do mundo por meio da Internet, dos livros, dos filmes e das séries, para muitas pessoas a compreensão do idioma ainda é um bicho de sete cabeças. Por esse motivo, é comum ouvir queixas durante as aulas como “não consigo aprender inglês” ou “inglês não é para mim”.

A diferença da língua materna é o que mais causa dificuldade para os estudantes lusófonos, principalmente pelo fato de a principal origem do português ser o latim e a do inglês ser o anglo-saxão. Essa disparidade causa impactos no som, na escrita e na estrutura do idioma. Pela mistura do anglo-saxão com outros idiomas e culturas, o inglês difere-se do português não apenas na escrita, mas também na pronúncia. Se desprender do habitual idioma materno e precisar falar palavras de uma outra forma é uma dificuldade recorrente entre os estudantes.

Agriculture and fisheries are closely linked to climate, making them vulnerable to changes in temperature, CO2 levels, and extreme weather. While increased temperature and CO2 can enhance some crop yields, this depends on factors like nutrient levels, soil moisture, and water availability. More frequent droughts and floods could challenge food production and safety, while warming waters may shift fish habitats, disrupting ecosystems. Overall, climate change may complicate traditional methods of farming, livestock raising, and fishing.

Crop responses to temperature changes depend on each crop's optimal growth temperature. Warmer conditions might benefit certain crops or enable the cultivation of new ones, but yields decline if temperatures exceed a crop's threshold. Increased CO2 can enhance plant growth under controlled conditions but may be offset by water, nutrient, and temperature constraints. Additionally, elevated CO2 reduces the protein and nitrogen content in crops like soybeans and alfalfa, lowering their quality and diminishing the forage value for livestock.

Extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, can harm crops and reduce yields. For example, high nighttime temperatures in 2010 and 2012 lowered U.S. corn yields, while premature budding caused $ 220 million in losses for Michigan cherries in 2012. Rising summer temperatures may also dry soils, complicating drought management. Increased irrigation could help, but reduced water availability might limit its feasibility.

Climate change also favors weeds, pests, and fungi, which thrive in warmer, wetter conditions with higher CO2 levels. This could expose crops to new threats and increase farming costs. U.S. farmers already spend over $ 11 billion annually on weed control, and these challenges are likely to grow as weed and pest ranges expand.

While rising CO2 stimulates plant growth, it also lowers the nutritional value of major crops like wheat, rice, and soybeans by reducing their protein and mineral content. This poses a potential risk to human health. Additionally, increased pest pressure may lead to higher pesticide use, further impacting health and reducing pesticide effectiveness. Climate change, therefore, presents multifaceted challenges to food production, nutrition, and ecosystems.

Elevated temperature and CO2 levels improve some crop fields especially because of nutrient levels in the soil.

#Questão 1093408 - Língua Inglesa, Advérbios e conjunções | Adverbs and conjunctions, CESPE / CEBRASPE, 2025, InoversaSul, Professor de Inglês - Ensino Fundamental

Gabriele Tinti’s Hungry Ghosts is a cycle of 51 poems written in collaboration with the photographer Roger Ballen, whose photographic negatives are reproduced in the book. The images are mostly terrifying, in keeping with the otherworldly inclination of the poems. This bilingual edition includes Tinti’s original Italian poems with English translations by David Graham, interspersed with Greek lines taken from inscriptions found on archaeological objects and from ancient Greek texts.

The book is inspired by the Petavatthu, a Theravada Buddhist scripture that includes stories about the realm of the “hungry ghosts,” a category of supernatural beings ubiquitous in East and South Asian religions, with section headings such as “Abandoned Ghosts,” “Protectors,” “Guardians,” and “Hungry Ghosts.” T he poems are quite short and try to emulate the obscure, esoteric quality of scriptural language, though they struggle, at times, under the weight of too many venerable references drawn from both Buddhist and Greek traditions.
