UNISINOS TEST

Part A

The Unisinos exam os organized in two different moments. The first one is the multiple choice test with 50 questions (4 hours, 0,2 points per questions, options from A to E) and the second one is the writing test (2 hours, 10 points, 30 to 35 lines). The test is divided in 10 Portuguese questions, 10 Human Sciencie questions, 15 Exact Scienci question, 10 Nature Sciencie question and 5 foreign language questions (Spanish or English). The exam is aplicated during one day in a Unisinos campus. The subscription is happen now untill 16/11 and the test will be 21/11.

A different thing in Unisinos vestibular is that you can choose between the Unisinos test or use just your ENEM score from the last three years.

 Part B

The enlgish section of the test is very short. Just five question, all related to the same text. Normaly a article with daily thing theme. The test have reading comprehesion and vocabulary question but they all can be respondend just with interpretation of the test text. The questions doesnt't have a high level of difficulty and they are all in portuguese. Train your reading skills and text comprehesion is the best way to master the text.

Part C 

Hot Oceans Are Killing Coral Reefs Around the World

For the past year, the world’s corals have been getting increasingly pummeled by climate change. Now with El Niño kicking ocean heat into overdrive, much of the world’s oceans have turned deadly for the world’s corals.

On Thursday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced a global coral bleaching event. This year joins the ranks of 1997 and 2010 as the only times on record that bleaching has occurred in all three of the world’s oceans that support coral at the same time.

All three global bleaching events have occurred in El Niño years, and the climate phenomenon definitely has a role to play. But the ever-rising temperatures underwater and above due to climate change are the biggest reason corals are currently dying off across a 4,600-square mile area in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans.

(...)

Once ocean waters warm past a certain threshold, coral begin to die off because they can’t support the algae that sustain them. The result is ghostly forests of white coral.

Without the protection of reefs, small islands lose their first line of defense against storm surge as well as ecosystems that support fisheries and tourism for more than 500 million people. Reefs also support about a quarter of all marine species despite covering less than 0.1 percent of the world’s oceans. In addition to bleaching, ocean acidification and wild sea level swings due to El Niño are also conspiring to cripple reefs.

The current spate of bleaching began in 2014, a year that saw record warmth on both land and sea. Temperatures have since continued to climb in 2015 (and 2016 is already looking pretty hot, too), resulting in coral dying off everywhere from the Caribbean to Hawaii to the Indian Ocean’s Coral Triangle.

The die-off around Hawaii has been particularly worrisome with more than a third of the island chain’s coral experiencing bleaching since 2014, including areas that have never seen bleaching occur before. Mark Eakin, the coordinator of NOAA’s Coral Reef Watch, said that by the year’s end, more than 60 percent of the state’s corals could suffer the same fate. All told, 95 percent of the corals in the U.S. are expected to be exposed to bleaching.

Because of the magnitude of the strong El Niño and the growing climate change signal in the oceans, Eakin said that NOAA is issuing an extended forecast for reefs through May for the first time. It is not a good forecast for reefs.
