(ITA -1996) TEXTO PARA A PRXIMA QUESTO: ... who are these Blur blokes who, after a shaky start, have shaken the world? And what makes them so different, so appealing as Pop Artist Richard Hamilton once asked in a collage that they doubtless studied at art school. Is it art school itself (they all attended Goldsmith) that sets apart? Are Blur the latest and ultimate example of what The Fall once dubbed Prole Art Threat? No. Blur are no mere Art School Band; far more important is the fact that theyre a Music School Band. Thats their secret. They can play. They are musicians. (Q. March, 1995) Assinale a opo cujo adjetivo possa substituir, de maneira bastante aproximada, os adjetivos different e appealing, em destaque no texto.

(ITA -1996) TEXTO PARA A PRXIMA QUESTO: Up until now, Gates has largely controlled the unfolding of his remarkable story. At 39, he seems to have achieved the information ages equivalent of the American Dream. Through intelligence, ruthlessness and hard work he dominates a technology so central to modern life that it touches nearly every office, school and desktop. 1He is very, very rich and so powerful that even his enemies are eager to cut deals with him. Now he wants more, a piece of all the action - the bills people pay, the phone calls they make, the news they read, the TV they watch. But he may have reached that point in the arc of success where the very qualities that raised him high could start to drag him down. If Gates is feeling a little cranky these days, he has good reason. The U.S. Justice Department derailed his $2 billion bid to acquire Intuit and its popular Quicken electronic check book program, a deal that ___(I)____ realize Microsofts ambition to make money from almost every commercial transaction in cyberspace. Another team of U.S. government lawyers is snooping around asking questions about Microsoft Network, the new on-line service he plans to launch in August. And an antitrust suit that has been hanging over his head for nearly five years - and which he thought lie had settled last year - is in legal limbo, held hostage by an ornery federal judge. Despite the companys reputation as a juggernaut, Microsoft is running into some unexpected snags in the marketplace as well. Gates wants desperately to seize control of the so-called local area networks, where more and more corporate business is done. But ___(II)___ company is having trouble developing ___(III)___ product that can compete with Lotus Notes, which dominates the market for groupware (the software that helps people brainstorm over these networks). ___(IV)___ Novells NetWare still controls two-thirds of the market for the software that runs the office systems, despite Microsofts best efforts with Windows NT. And Microsofts SQL Server is still struggling to win customers from Oracle, which owns almost half the market for ___(V)___ critical database software that stores the corporate words most important information. As lacunas II, III, IV e V devem ser preenchidas, quando necessrio, pelos artigos:
