Descrio do Exame:
O TEAP composto de dois textos. Cada texto seguido de duas sees, cada
uma com tipos especficos de questes. As questes procuram simular situaes
comumente encontradas em ambiente profissional e acadmico e devem ser
respondidas em portugus.
A Seo 2 composta de trs questes para cada texto. Estas questes visam a
avaliao da compreenso detalhada de trechos extrados do texto. Para tanto,
solicitado que o trecho selecionado seja reescrito em portugus. A decodificao
palavra-por-palavra deve ser evitada, pois tal estratgia freqentemente resulta em
textos sem sentido quando lidos em portugus. Recomenda-se que sejam feitas as
adaptaes necessrias para que a resposta seja coerente e demonstre que houve
compreenso do texto original em ingls.

02 Foodborne Infectious Disease
1-Between August 19 and September 5, 2006, symptomatic
enteritis from Shiga toxinproducing Escherichia coli O157:H7
infection was reported in 199 persons in 26 states in association
with consumption of fresh spinach or spinach-containing products
from commercial brands processed by Natural Selection Foods,
California. One hundred two of these persons (51%) had been
hospitalized as of October 6, and 31 (16%) had acute renal failure
from the hemolyticuremic syndrome, which had developed in 29%
of the affected children (<18 years of age), 8% of the affected adults
18 to 59 years of age, and 14% of the affected adults 60 years of age
or older. Three persons with confirmed cases had died by products and in outbreaks among children visiting petting zoos.

5) Since 2004, there has been a 43% decline in the E. coli contamination of ground-beef samples tested by the USDA
a decrease that follows intensified federal regulatory efforts to enhance food-safety systems and microbiologic
testing by commercial meat producers. Much less progress has been made in enhancing the safety of commercially
produced vegetables.

common: the undercooking of foods such as poultry or eggs still causes millions of cases of salmonella and
campylobacter infection each year. More than four million tons of lettuce, spinach, and sprouts are consumed in North
America every year, and it is unclear how much the risk is reduced by rewashing the produce, even if the consumer
bothers to do it.
7) Irradiation of high-risk foods after processing could greatly reduce the incidence of all bacterial foodborne disease
and save hundreds of lives each year. The efficacy and safety of food irradiation have been established through
extensive research, which has demonstrated that irradiation kills or markedly reduces counts of food pathogens
without impairing the nutritional value of the food or making it toxic, carcinogenic, or radioactive.

12) A tragicomic stem-cell story, however, is probably a first. But a piece of research reported by Zhu Jianhong of
Fudan University and his colleagues began that way. Its first subject was a woman admitted into Huashan Hospital in
Shanghai with a chopstick in her brain. It ended triumphantly, though, with the trial of a treatment that may heal the
sort of brain injuries that the woman in question suffered.
13) Stem cells are the cells responsible for making bodies, and then repairing the natural wear and tear to which they
are subject while they are alive. The body-forming cells are the embryonic stem cells that are causing so much
political trouble in America because obtaining them involves destroying early-stage embryos known as blastocysts.
Some people think that destroying blastocysts is murder.
14) So the team moved on to people. They transplanted neural stem cells derived from eight patients with open-head
injuries back into the patients who had provided the initial tissue and allowed the cells to migrate to the injury sites.
(In one case, they used magnetic particles to follow the process.)
