> VOCABULARY QUESTIONS
* What is asked in the vocabulary questions?
The questions usually remove any text expression and ask for another option which does not distort the meaning.
* What is the level of difficulty?
Those questions are considered easy, because it’s meaning this explicit in the text.
> GRAMMAR QUESTIONS
USP doesn’t include grammatical questions.
QUESTIONS:
1)
Time was, advertising was a relatively simple undertaking: buy some print space and airtime, create the spots, and blast them at a captive audience. Today it’s chaos: while passive viewers still exist, mostly we pick and choose what to consume, ignoring ads with a touch of the DVR remote. Ads are forced to become more like content, and the best aim to engage consumers so much that they pass the material on to friends – by email, Twitter, Facebook – who will pass it on to friends, who will... you get the picture. In the industry, “viral” has become a usefully vague way to describe any campaign that spreads from person to person, acquiring its own momentum.
It’s not that online advertising has eclipsed TV, but it has become its full partner – and in many ways the more substantive one, a medium in which the audience must be earned, not simply bought.
Newsweek, March 26 & April 2, 2012. Adaptado.
De acordo com o texto, a indústria publicitária
(a)passou a criar anúncios mais curtos.
(b)deixou de comprar tempo na TV devido ao aumento de custo por minuto.
(c)foi forçada a se modificar em função das novas tecnologias.
(d)aumentou sua audiência cativa.
(e)começou a privilegiar a forma em vez de conteúdos.
2) JUST 10 YEARS INTO A NEW CENTURY, MORE THAN TWO-thirds of the country sees the past decade as a period of decline for the U.S., according to a new TIME/Aspen Ideas Festival poll that probed Americans on the decade since the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001. Osama bin Laden is dead and al-Qaeda seriously weakened, but the impact of the 9/11 attacks and the decisions that followed have, in the view of most Americans, put the U.S. in a tailspin that the country has been unable to shake during two administrations and almost 10 years of trying.
ACCORDING TO THE POLL, ONLY 6% OF MORE THAN 2,000 Americans believe the country has completely recovered from the events of 9/11. Some of this pessimism can be tied to fears of more terrorist attacks. Despite the death of bin Laden, most Americans think another terrorist attack in the U.S. is likely.
A sequência “most Americans think another terrorist attack in the U.S. is likely” significa que, para a maioria dos norte-americanos, outro ataque terrorista nos EUA é
(a)iminente.
(b)muito temido.
(c)impensável.
(d)provável.
(e)uma incógnita.
