🚀 Space Travel: MARS HERE I COME!
"Eu sou cego e realmente agradeço muito por disponibilizarem o conteúdo dublado."
1 It may sound crazy but there is a plan to fly human beings to Mars. Not only that, they
2 won't be coming back. The plan also involves colonizing the planet. Even more remarkably,
3 "Mars One" (unlike the moon landing and other NASA projects) won't be financed by the
4 American taxpayer. Mars One is a private venture, run by a 37-year-old Dutch entreprenour
5 called Bas Lansdorp.
11-13 ...the chances surviving a 210-day journey in space are at best limited. And even if the astronauts do survive the journey they will spend the rest of their days living in high-tech huts.
16-21 The other great mystery about the Project is financial. Lansdorp has announced that the mission will cost $6 billion, but many critics have said that this isn't nearly enough. Where on earth (no pun intended) will he find the money? Apparently, the idea is to finance everything with a reality TV show. In any case, assuming that Mars One does actually happen, the "road map" for the Project states that an unmanned mission will carry a Rover Explorer and a satellite to Mars in 2020.
25-29 So far there has been no shortage of applicants. New Yorker Sybelle Silverphoenix recently learned that she had got through to the second selection round... It may seem a strange choice for a woman who has an acting and modeling career, and who is the mother of a young daughter, but Silverphoenix says she has been dreaming of travelling in space ever since she was a child.
Resposta correta: A)
O texto descreve o projeto Mars One, que visa colonizar Marte com uma viagem de 210 dias (cerca de 200 dias), financiado por iniciativa privada, não pela NASA ou governo americano. A opção A captura precisamente essas informações do texto.
Resposta correta: C) The Project Mars One may become true.
A expressão "assuming that Mars One does actually happen" (supondo que o Mars One realmente aconteça) indica uma possibilidade, não uma certeza. O texto sugere que o projeto pode se tornar realidade, mas não garante que isso acontecerá.
Resposta correta: D)
• "they" (linha 1) refere-se a "human beings" (seres humanos)
• "their" (linha 13) refere-se a "astronauts" (astronautas)
• "this" (linha 16) refere-se a "$6 billion" (o custo da missão)
• "she" (linha 29) refere-se a "Sybelle Silverphoenix"
PEOPLE ARE MORE INTERESTED IN
LOOKING FOR WATER ON MARS?"
Resposta correta: D) do contraste.
A estrutura "So you're telling me...?" estabelece um contraste entre dois elementos: o interesse em buscar água em Marte (exploração espacial) versus a negligência com problemas sociais na Terra. O tom irônico destaca a contradição entre investir em descobertas marcianas enquanto há necessidades urgentes não atendidas no planeta Terra.
