Questão 1
Read the following text in order to answer the question.
What is Soil Erosion?
1 Erosion is a major problem affecting soils all over the world. It is a process that involves the removal
and transport of soil by wind and water. Whilst erosion is a natural process, human activities, such as
changes in farming and land management

4 practices, can cause it to occur much faster than under natural conditions. The rapid growth of the
world´s population has resulted in increased cultivation of land. This puts more pressure on land and
leads to soil losing its structure and cohesion, which means that it can be eroded more easily. Heavy
farming machinery can also ‘compact’ soil, which causes water to run straight off the surface after

8 rain, taking soil particles with it, instead of infiltrating into the soil. Changes in farming methods are not
the only ways in which humans are contributing to soil erosion: activities such as construction and even
recreation, such as hill walking, have led to severe erosion. Soil scientists now have a much greater
understanding of what causes erosion, and are developing new

12 methods of land cultivation and management to control the problem. Examples of these include
creating ‘buffer’ strips around field to catch soil as it washes off, and the use of special ‘geotextile’
matting where vegetation is lacking. When soils are washed away small channels (or ‘rills’) can form,
these may get bigger – becoming ‘gulleys’.

16 Eventually these gulleys can get so deep you can walk down into them and it may be hard to get
back out.

Questão 3
Viva la Vida
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning and I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand […]
