Social media and the internet Social media are forms of digital communication through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content. Social media use is not inherently beneficial or harmful. Social media platforms offer powerful opportunities for socialization and connection, but may also have some negative effects, including misinformation and disinformation, hate speech, and cyberbullying. At the extreme, social media use can interfere with sleep, physical activity, and in-person social interactions. (www.apa.org. Adaptado.) The text intends to
  1. A)make people stop using social media and meet in person instead.
  2. B)warn that most social media users display health disorders.
  3. C)suggest that the benefits of social media outperform the harmful effects.
  4. D)explain that social media brings benefits as well as risks.
  5. E)alert social media users to detrimental effects of excessive socialization.

Misinformation and disinformation Misinformation is false or inaccurate information — getting the facts wrong. Disinformation is false information, which is deliberately intended to mislead — intentionally misstating the facts. The spread of misinformation and disinformation has affected our ability to improve public health, address climate change, maintain a stable democracy, and more. By providing valuable insight into how and why we are likely to believe misinformation and disinformation, psychological science can inform how we protect ourselves against its ill effects. (www.apa.org. Adaptado.) De acordo com o texto, a distinção entre “misinformation” e “disinformation” é que
  1. A)“misinformation” causa mais prejuízos financeiros do que “disinformation”.
  2. B)as pessoas acreditam mais em “misinformation” do que em “disinformation”.
  3. C)“misinformation” afeta principalmente informações sobre saúde e “disinformation”, sobre democracia.
  4. D)os efeitos de “misinformation” são mais nocivos do que de “disinformation”.
  5. E)“disinformation” é proposital enquanto “misinformation” é um equívoco.

If you are in a major city anywhere in the world, it is probably quite easy to grab a cheap hamburger from a nearby fast-food restaurant. But what you may not realize is that the meat in that cheap burger can actually illustrate a grand narrative about how humans have shaped the planet. From the land used to raise cattle for beef consumption, to the water used to feed those cattle, to the fuel used to transport the beef all over the world, the human progress that enables us to easily buy a burger — and, for that matter, hop on a plane, charge our phones, and take part in the multitude of activities that make up our everyday experiences — has changed the biosphere. (Lori Dajose. www.caltech.edu, 03.08.2022.) De acordo com o texto,
  1. A)o aumento no preço dos combustíveis influencia diretamente o preço da carne.
  2. B)o consumo de carne vermelha é prejudicial à saúde e ao meio ambiente.
  3. C)a agropecuária é a atividade que mais consome água no mundo.
  4. D)situações corriqueiras impactam o planeta de forma significativa.
  5. E)restaurantes fast-food são um dos maiores produtores de lixo nas grandes cidades.

Michigan State University’s Quick Check 1.  Check the website name and domain: Fake sites often have a “.co” in the domain. 2.  Spelling & Grammar: Are there multiple errors or does the site look professionally edited? 3.  Author Attribution:  Is an author listed? Are there links to their profile and credentials? Anonymous articles generally should be avoided. 4.  Emotional Manipulation: Do you feel emotions by simply reading the headline? 5.  Statement of Ethics: Most reputable news sites have a Statement of Ethics. 6.  Corrections: Again, reputable sites have a Corrections section or policy. 7.  Named Sources, Studies etc.: Does the article name a source or study for its information? 8.  Identify Editorials vs News: Reputable news sources clearly identify editorials, which as we know are just someone’s opinion. 9.  Check A Reporter’s Body of Work:  Does the reporter have a large body of work? Do they generally cover the same topic(s), or do the topics seem to be random or inconsistent? 10.  Verify Information Using Multiple Sources: This is a good habit for all research. Make sure you can find more than one reputable source reporting the same information. (www.libguides.valenciacollege.edu, 04.08.2022. Adaptado.) The purpose of the text is to
  1. A)provide a guideline on how to identify misleading information or fake news.
  2. B)present multiple examples of viral fake news.
  3. C)point out reliable newspaper resources for academic use.
  4. D)demonstrate how fake news can manipulate people’s emotions.
  5. E)inform the desired structure and methodology of the university’s research papers.

Underwater noise pollution could damage crucial ocean plants Under the Mediterranean Sea lie meadows of Posidonia oceanica, a native seagrass species. It might not look like it’s doing much — just swaying back and forth with the current — but seagrass absorbs carbon dioxide, emits oxygen, protects coasts from erosion and provides habitat for fish. But a new threat to seagrass beds has been detected: underwater noise pollution caused by humans. A team of European scientists reported in the journal Communications Biology that when P. oceanica is exposed to noise, organs in the plant that store energy and detect gravity are destroyed, adding to concern for this already-threatened species. Anthropogenic underwater noise is “a big concern,” said Nicola Quick, a marine biologist at Duke University, who was not involved in the study. There certainly have been natural subaquatic sounds from earthquakes and heavy rain, as well as from marine organisms, but humans have been adding noise to the soundscape from activities such as shipping, oil and gas extractions, and renewable energy development. Despite P. oceanica’s seeming accessibility, it took the team six months to obtain the authorization needed to collect the protected species. After successfully acquiring the permits, the team collected 84 seagrass plants. They placed the samples in experimental tanks and played sounds with changing frequency from 50 to 400 Hz — the range that covers the noise generated by human activities. The noise level was around 157 dB underwater, equivalent to roughly 95 dB in the air, somewhere between a bass drum and a subway train. The team discovered that two hours of noise exposure damaged a plant organ responsible for detecting gravity, meaning noise could affect the plant’s capacity to stay rooted. Moreover, the number of starch grains inside the organ decreased, which could affect the seagrass’s ability to store energy. The starch grains continued to disappear even after the noise stopped. (Karen Kwon. www.discovermagazine.com, 08.07.2021. Adaptado.) De acordo com o texto, o barulho produzido por humanos (A) é mais danoso aos seres com sistema auditivo, apesar de afetar o ambiente marinho como um todo. (B) pode comprometer a audição dos peixes e colocar em risco a comunicação entre algumas espécies. (C) é prejudicial à vida marinha apenas em frequências que ultrapassam 400 Hz. (D) pode causar, em uma espécie de erva marinha, danos aos órgãos responsáveis por armazenar energia e detectar a gravidade. (E) é menos nocivo que problemas como poluição por resíduos plásticos, aumento da temperatura e acidificação. Segundo o texto, a preocupação da Noruega com a mudança climática
  1. A)provocou uma redução dos problemas energéticos.
  2. B)levou à criação de um filme exibido no cinema.
  3. C)foi analisada internacionalmente em programas de televisão.
  4. D)inspirou uma ficção que é transmitida pela televisão.
  5. E)inspirou uma série centrada na política.

Wood wide web: trees’ social networks are mapped Research has shown that beneath every forest and wood there is a complex underground web of roots, fungi and bacteria helping to connect trees and plants to one another. This subterranean social network, nearly 500 million years old, has become known as the “wood wide web”. Now, an international study has produced the first global map of the “mycorrhizal fungi networks” dominating this secretive world. Using machine-learning, researchers from the Crowther Lab at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, and Stanford University in the US used the database of the Global Forest Initiative, which covers 1.2 million forest tree plots with 28,000 species, from more than 70 countries. Using millions of direct observations of trees and their symbiotic associations on the ground, the researchers could build models from the bottom up to visualise these fungal networks for the first time. Prof Thomas Crowther, one of the authors of the report, told the BBC, “It’s the first time that we’ve been able to understand the world beneath our feet, but at a global scale.” The research reveals how important mycorrhizal networks are to limiting climate change — and how vulnerable they are to the effects of it. “Just like an Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan of the brain helps us to understand how the brain works, this global map of the fungi beneath the soil helps us to understand how global ecosystems work,” said Prof Crowther. “What we find is that certain types of microorganisms live in certain parts of the world, and by understanding that we can figure out how to restore different types of ecosystems and also how the climate is changing.” Losing chunks of the wood wide web could well increase “the feedback loop of warming temperatures and carbon emissions.” Mycorrhizal fungi are those that form a symbiotic relationship with plants. There are two main groups of mycorrhizal fungi: arbuscular fungi (AM) that penetrate the host’s roots, and ectomycorrhizal fungi (EM) which surround the tree’s roots without penetrating them. (Claire Marshall. www.bbc.com, 15.05.2019. Adaptado.) De acordo com o texto, a “wood wide web”, conhecida como a “internet das florestas”, corresponde
  1. A)ao sistema de nutrição das árvores por meio da decomposição de matéria orgânica por fungos e bactérias.
  2. B)ao conjunto de fungos e bactérias que se desenvolvem como parasitas das árvores.
  3. C)à rede de microrganismos nocivos que pode acelerar a devastação das florestas.
  4. D)à maneira secreta de sobrevivência encontrada pelos fungos e bactérias em um ambiente florestal hostil.
  5. E)a uma trama entre raízes, fungos e bactérias que promove conexões entre os vegetais da floresta.

Avoiding meat and dairy is single biggest way to reduce your impact on Earth Avoiding meat and dairy products is the single biggest way to reduce your environmental impact on the planet, according to the scientists behind the most comprehensive analysis to date of the damage farming does to the planet. The new research, published in the journal Science, shows that without meat and dairy consumption, global farmland use could be reduced by more than 75% – an area equivalent to the US, China, European Union and Australia combined – and still feed the world. Loss of wild areas to cattle farming is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife. The new analysis shows that while meat and dairy products provide just 18% of calories and 37% of protein, they use the vast majority – 83% – of farmland and produce 60% of farming greenhouse gas emissions. Other recent research shows 86% of all land mammals are now livestock or humans. The scientists also found that even the lowest impact by meat and dairy products may cause much more environmental harm than the least sustainable vegetable and cereal growing. (Damian Carrington. www.theguardian.com, 31.05.2018. Adaptado.) O texto afirma que, para diminuir o impacto ambiental no nosso planeta, é preciso
  1. A)evitar o consumo de carne e de laticínios.
  2. B)equilibrar a agricultura e a pecuária.
  3. C)controlar a proliferação de mamíferos.
  4. D)recuperar a biodiversidade vegetal das florestas.
  5. E)substituir as proteínas vegetais em nossa alimentação.
