G7: Boris Johnson kicks off summit with plea to tackle inequality
Boris Johnson has urged fellow world leaders to "build back better" after the Covid pandemic at this
week's G7 summit in Cornwall.
The UK prime minister said it was vital to learn from the "mistakes" of the 2008 financial crisis and tackle
the "scar" of inequality.
After a day of talks at the seaside resort of Carbis Bay, leaders have joined the Queen for a dinner nearby.
The distribution of Covid vaccines is also high on the summit agenda.
Earlier, the leaders posed for a group photo with the Queen, where the monarch was heard to joke: "Are
you supposed __________ (1) as if you're enjoying yourself?"
The leaders around the Queen laughed, and Mr Johnson replied emphatically: "Yes."
The prime minister added: "We have been enjoying ___________ (2) - in spite of appearances."
US President Joe Biden is among those being hosted by Mr Johnson for the three-day meeting, as well
the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Canada.

McDonald's is the latest big company to be hit by a data breach that has exposed customers' details.
The world's biggest burger chain said cyber attackers had accessed a "small number" of files on
customers in South Korea and Taiwan.
The breach included e-mail, delivery addresses and phone numbers - but not payment details.
A spokeswoman for the firm said it would take steps to "notify regulators and customers listed in these
files".
The details of the breach, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, were discovered during an external
investigation after unauthorised activity was spotted on the company's network.
The company said its "substantial investment" in cyber security meant it was identified quickly.
"These tools allowed us to quickly identify and contain recent unauthorised activity on our network. A
thorough investigation was conducted, and we worked with experienced third parties to support this
investigation," it said.
Operations at its restaurants were not affected by the hack.
The fast food firm did say, however, that personal data on employees was also accessed - although it
did not say in which countries.

"In the coming days, a _______ (1) additional markets will take steps to address files that contained
employee personal data.
"Moving forward, McDonald's will leverage the findings from the investigation as well as input from
security resources to identify ways to further enhance our existing security measures."
It's the latest big firm to be targeted by cyber attackers in recent weeks. Game publisher Electronic
Arts (EA) said on Thursday that hackers had stolen valuable information including source code for
games such as FIFA 21.
The chief executive of Colonial Pipeline also told senators this week that the decision to pay a $4.4m
(£3.1m) ransom to hackers in Bitcoin in May was the "hardest decision" of ____ (2) career. The majority
of that money has since been recovered by the US Department of Justice.

Regular and strenuous exercise increases the risk of motor neurone disease in people who are
genetically vulnerable, say scientists.
The team at the University of Sheffield said nobody should stop ________ (1) as a result of their

It affects people's ability to move, talk and even breathe as the motor neurones that carry
messages from the brain to the muscles fail. It can dramatically shorten people's lives.
Who gets it and why is a complicated, poorly-understood mix of the genetic risk you are born
with and other environmental factors that build up over a lifetime.
There has long been a connection between exercise and the disease, but whether it was a
genuine "cause" or just a "coincidence" has been the source of fierce debate.
Studies in Italian footballers _________ (2) rates up to six times higher than normal. Athletes
including Rob Burrow (rugby league), Stephen Darby (football) and Doddie Weir (rugby union) have all
spoken openly about the disease.
"We have conclusively said exercise is a risk factor for motor neurone disease", Dr Johnathan
Cooper-Knock, one of the researchers, said.
"The numbers of high profile athletes affected with MND is not a coincidence."
The researchers analysed data from the UK Biobank project, ________(3)has detailed genetic
samples from half a million people.
They used a technique called Mendelian randomisation to turn that data into an experiment,

before the pandemic started early last year.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel
are also attending.
In his opening remarks at the main round-table discussions, Mr Johnson said that, as the world recovered
from the pandemic, it was important to "level up across our societies" and "build back better".
He added: "I actually think that we have a huge opportunity to that because, as G7, we are united in our
vision for a cleaner, greener world, a solution to the problems of climate change."
The prime minister also said it was "vital that we don't repeat the mistakes of the last great crisis - the
last great economic recession of 2008 - when the recovery was not uniform across all parts of society".
Politicians are attending a Friday evening reception at the nearby Eden Project, attended by the Queen,

McDonald's is the latest big company to be hit by a data breach that has exposed customers' details.
The world's biggest burger chain said cyber attackers had accessed a "small number" of files on
customers in South Korea and Taiwan.
The breach included e-mail, delivery addresses and phone numbers - but not payment details.
A spokeswoman for the firm said it would take steps to "notify regulators and customers listed in these
files".
The details of the breach, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, were discovered during an external
investigation after unauthorised activity was spotted on the company's network.
The company said its "substantial investment" in cyber security meant it was identified quickly.
"These tools allowed us to quickly identify and contain recent unauthorised activity on our network. A
thorough investigation was conducted, and we worked with experienced third parties to support this
investigation," it said.
Operations at its restaurants were not affected by the hack.
The fast food firm did say, however, that personal data on employees was also accessed - although it
did not say in which countries.
"In the coming days, a _______ (1) additional markets will take steps to address files that contained
employee personal data.
"Moving forward, McDonald's will leverage the findings from the investigation as well as input from
security resources to identify ways to further enhance our existing security measures."

China's Zhurong rover _________ (1) back a batch of new images from Mars - including a "selfie".
The robot, which landed in May, positioned a wireless camera on the ground and then rolled back a
short distance to take the snap.
To Zhurong's right is the rocket-powered platform that brought the six-wheeled vehicle to a soft
touchdown.
Both display prominent Chinese flags.
A second image, taken by the rover, shows the platform on its own.
Visible is the ramp down which Zhurong had to drive to get on to the surface; and the tracks it left in
the dust as it turned around.
A third picture looks out to the horizon from the landing site. This region is known as Utopia Planitia, a
vast terrain in Mars' northern hemisphere.
All the images were released by the Chinese space agency in a ceremony to celebrate the success of
the rover mission.
Scientists are hoping to get at least 90 Martian days of service out of Zhurong.
The robot looks a lot like the American space agency's (Nasa) Spirit and Opportunity vehicles from the
2000s.
It weighs some 240kg. A tall mast carries cameras to take pictures and aid navigation; five additional
instruments will investigate the mineralogy of local rocks and the general nature of the environment,
including the weather.

Like the current American rovers (Curiosity and Perseverance), Zhurong has a laser tool to zap rocks to

Perseverance.
On Thursday, the US University of Arizona released a colour picture of Zhurong taken from orbit. The

Microsoft says it will stop supporting Windows 10 in 2025, as it prepares to unveil a major revamp of its
Windows operating system later this month.
When Windows 10 ___________ (1), Microsoft said it was intended to be the final version of the operating system.
But from 14 October 2025, there will be no new updates or security fixes for either the Home or Pro versions.
And Microsoft says _____ (2) successor will represent one of the "most significant updates" to the OS in the past decade.
Its predecessor, Windows 7, was retired in 2020, although businesses could pay Microsoft to continue receiving updates
for Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise.
Windows 10 was released in July 2015 and dubbed "Windows as a service", which meant the software was gradually
updated at no extra charge, rather than the company releasing a new version of its OS every few years.
At the time, chief executive Satya Nadella said it marked a "new era" for personal computing.
Developer evangelist and Microsoft employee Jerry Nixon went further, describing it as "the last version of Windows".
And Mr Nadella added he was particularly "excited" by features such as digital personal assistant Cortana, which was
intended to compete with Apple's Siri.
However, Cortana never really took off and in April this year it was retired on mobile, focusing instead on productivity
help in Windows 10, Outlook and Teams.
Also:
• A month after Windows 10's release, many popular webcams stopped working, with Microsoft having to patch a bug

44. In But Cortana never really took off and in April this year it was retired on mobile […]”. The word
means
Comentários:
A alternativa A está incorreta. to leave the ground and begins to fly = deixar o solo e começar a voar (decolar).
A alternativa B está correta. to start to be successful or popular = começar a ser bem sucedido ou popular.
Nesse caso “took off” significa decolar porém no sentido figurado, no sentido de ter sucesso. Segundo o
texto, “But Cortana never really took off…” (Porém Cortana nunca decolou realmente / nunca teve
sucesso realmente).
A alternativa C está incorreta. to leave somewhere, usually without telling anyone that you are going = sair de algum
lugar, geralmente sem avisar a ninguém que você está indo.
A alternativa D está incorreta. to suddenly increase in value or amount = aumentar repentinamente em valor ou
quantidade.
A alternativa E está incorreta. to arrive on the ground or other surface after moving down through the air = chegar ao

Comentários:
A alternativa D está correta. Observe que o sujeito da oração é “Windows 10” e portanto não é possível
o “windows 10” lançar algo, ele foi lançado, trata-se de uma voz passiva.
Como o “Windows 10” foi lançado em uma data determinada no passado usaremos o simple past.
Passiva no simple Past = verbo “to be” no passado simples (was / were) + verbo principal no particípio.
Como o sujeito é uma terceira pessoa do singular usaremos “was”.

A alternativa E está correta. Observe que após a lacuna temos um substantivo “successor” (sucessor) e
portanto devemos usar um pronome possessivo adjetivo. Observe que o texto fala do sucessor do
“Windows 10” e portanto devemos usar um pronome possessivo que faz referência a uma terceira pessoa
do singular que serve para coisas (its).
“And Microsoft says its successor will represent one of the "most significant updates…"” (E a Microsoft
diz que seu sucessor (sucessor do Windows 10) representará uma das "atualizações mais significativas")
GABARITO: E
47. In “However, Cortana never really took off and in April this year it was retired on mobile, focusing
instead on productivity help in Windows 10”. The word “however” introduces the notion of
a) cause.
b) contrast.
c) emphasis.
d) agreement.
e) comparison.
Comentários:
A alternativa B está correta. A conjunção “however” significa “no entanto”, “todavia” e introduz uma ideia
de contraste. Segundo o texto, Cortana deveria competir com a Siri da Apple entretanto ela não decolou.

Comentários:
A alternativa A está correta. O Windows 10 foi lançado em julho de 2015 e apelidado de "Windows como
serviço", o que significava que o software foi atualizado gradualmente sem nenhum custo extra, em vez
de a empresa lançar uma nova versão de seu sistema operacional a cada poucos anos
A alternativa B está incorreta. O assistente pessoal Cortana deveria competir com o Siri da Apple, no entanto, a Cortana
nunca realmente decolou e em abril deste ano foi aposentada no celular, focando na ajuda de produtividade no Windows
10, Outlook e Teams.
A alternativa C está incorreta. Um mês após o lançamento do Windows 10, muitas webcams populares pararam de
funcionar, com a Microsoft tendo que corrigir um bug na forma como o Windows codificava o vídeo e centenas de
usuários reclamaram que perderam arquivos e seus e-mails não sincronizaram mais e relataram problemas com
conexões wi-fi quebradas.
A alternativa D está incorreta. De acordo com o texto, a autoridade francesa de dados disse que o Windows 10 coletou
uma quantidade excessiva de dados pessoais dos usuários. O texto não fala que a Microsoft conseguiu provas que ele
tinha sido acusada de maneira equivocada.
A alternativa E está incorreta. De acordo com o texto, Nadella e o diretor de produto, Panos Panay, vão lançar o novo
sistema operacional em um evento virtual em 24 de junho, com a Microsoft enfrentando forte concorrência não apenas
da Apple, mas também do Google.
