Soal TOEFL -Reading Comprehension
(1) Hot boning is an energy-saving technique for the meat processing industry. It has
received significant attention in recent years when increased pressure for energy
conservation has accentuated the need for more efficient methods of processing the
bovine carcass. Cooling an entire carcass requires a considerable amount of
refrigerated space, since bone and trimmable fat are cooled along with muscle. It (5) is
also necessary to space the carcasses adequately in the refrigerated room for better air
movement and prevention of microbial contamination, thus adding to the volume
requirements for carcass chillers.

Conventional handling of meat involves holding the beef sides in the cooler for 24 to 36
hours before boning. Chilling in the traditional fashion is also associated with a loss of
carcass weight ranging from 2 (10) percent to 4 percent due to evaporation of moisture
the meat tissue.

Early excision, or hot boning , of muscle prerigor followed be vacuum packaging has
several potential advantages. By removing only the edible muscle and fat prerigor,
refrigeration space and cost are minimized, boning labor is decreased, and storage
yields increased. Because hot boning often result in the toughening of meat, a more
recent approach, hot boning following electrical stimulation, has been (15) used to
reduce the necessary time of rigor mortis.

Some researchers have found this method beneficial in maintaining tender meat, while
others have found that the meat also becomes tough after electrical stimulation.

11. Kata considerable memodifikasi kata amount (jumlah). Itu berarti makna
considerable harus menjadi ukuran besar atau kecil. Considerable amount mesti
bermakna jumlah yang besar atu mungkin jumlah yang kecil. Dari pilihan jawaban yang
ada jawaban A dan D tidak sesuai dengan konteks ini. Sementara jawaban C (Lesser)
juga tidak karena lesser menandakan adanya yang dibandingkan (masuk dalam

kategori comparison). Semnetara dalam kalimat kita tidak melihat ada yang
dibandingkan. Jadi jelas jawaban yang benar yaitu jawaban D.

12. Bacaan di atas menyatkan bahwa metode hot boning menghasilkan daging yang
lebih kuat (tougher meat) jadi jawaban A jelas salah. Bacaan tidak membahasa terkait
penggunaan (purposes) dari bone jadi jawaban B juga jelas salah. Bagian C juga sangat
jelas salah; meningkatkan waktu memasak (menghabiskan waktu yang lebih lama)
tentu saja bukan hal yang menguntungkan. Jadi jawaban yang benar yaitu jawaban D.

13. Trimmable berasal dari kata trim yang bermkana to cut atau to remove. Jadi

to 1829, is today recognized for his masterful statesmanship and diplomacy. He
dedicated his life to public service, both in the presidency and in the various other
political offices that he held. Throughout his political career he demonstrated his
unswerving belief in freedom of speech, the antislavery cause, and the right of
Americans to be free from European and Asian domination.

The passage states that John Quincy Adams demonstrated his unswerving belief
"throughout his career." This implies that the belief did not change. Therefore, you
should choose (C).

Now begin work on the questions.

Questions 1-9
Carbon tetrachloride is a colorless and inflammable liquid that can be produced by
combining carbon disulfide and chlorine. This compound is widely used in industry
today because of its effectiveness as a solvent as well as its use in the production of
propellants.

Despite its widespread use in industry, carbon tetrachloride has been banned for home
use. In the past, carbon tetrachloride was a common ingredient in cleaning compounds
that were used throughout the home, but it was found to be dangerous: when heated, it
changes into a poisonous gas that can cause severe illness and even death if it is
inhaled. Because of this dangerous characteristic, the United States revoked permission
for the home use of carbon tetrachloride in 1970. The United States has taken similar
action with various other chemical compounds.

The next artist in this survey of American artist is James Whistler; he is included in this
survey of American artist because he was born in the United States, although the
majority of his artwork was completed in Europe. Whistler was born in Massachusetts in
1834, but nine years later his father moved the family to St. Petersburg, Russia, to work
on the construction of a railroad. The family returned to the United States in 1849. Two
years later Whistler entered the U.S. military academy at West Point, but he was unable
to graduate. At the age of twenty-one Whistler went to Europe to study art despite
familial objections, and he remained in Europe until his death.

Whistler worked in various art forms, including etchings and lithographs. However, he is
most famous for his paintings, particularly Arrangement in Gray and Black No. 1:
Portrait of the Artists Mother or Whistlers Mother, as it is more commonly known. This

Questions 20-30
The locations of stars in the sky relative to one another do not appear to the naked eye
to change, and as a result stars are often considered to be fixed in position. Many
unaware stargazers falsely assume that each star has its own permanent home in the
nighttime sky.

In reality, though, stars are always moving, but because of the tremendous distances
between stars themselves and from stars to Earth, the changes are barely perceptible
here. An example of a rather fast-moving star demonstrates why this misconception
prevails; it takes approximately 200 years for a relatively rapid star like Bernard's star
to move a distance in the skies equal to the diameter of the earth's moon. When the
apparently negligible movement of the stars is contrasted with the movement of the
planets, the stars are seemingly unmoving.

a. What the eye can see in the sky
b. Bernard's star
c. Planetary Movement
d. The Evermoving stars

21. The expression "naked eye" in line 1 most probably refers to

a. barely perceptible
b. huge

23. The word "perceptible" in line 5 is closest in meaning to which of the following?
a. noticeable
b. persuasive
c. conceivable
d. astonishing

24. In line 6, a "misconception" is closest in meaning to a (n)

a. idea
b. proven fact
c. erroneous belief
d. theory

25. The passage states that in 200 years Bernard's star can move

a. around Earth's moon

b. next to the earth's moon
c. a distance equal to the distance from earth to the moon

Questions 31-40

It has been noted that, traditionally, courts have granted divorces on fault grounds: one
spouse is deemed to be at fault in causing the divorce. More and more today, however,
divorces are being granted on a no-fault basis.

Proponents of no-fault divorces argue that when a marriage fails, it is rarely the case
that one marriage partner is completely to blame and the other blameless. A failed
marriage is much more often the result of mistakes by both partners.

Another argument in favor of no-fault divorce is that proving fault in court, in a public
arena, is a destructive process that only serves to lengthen the divorce process and
that dramatically increases the negative feelings present in a divorce. If a couple can
reach a decision to divorce without first deciding which partner is to blame, the divorce
settlement can be negotiated more easily and equitably and the postdivorce healing
process can begin more rapidly.

31. What does the passage mainly discuss?

a. Traditional grounds for divorce
b. Who is at fault in a divorce
c. Why no-fault divorces are becoming more common
d. The various reasons for divorces

32. The word "spouse" in line 1 is closest in meaning to a

a. judge

a. there recently has been a decrease in no-fault divorces
b. not all divorces today are no-fault divorces
c. a no-fault divorce is not as equitable as a fault divorce
d. people recover more slowly from a no-fault divorce

35. The word "proponents" in line 4 is closest in meaning to which of the following?
a. Advocates

b. Recipients
c. Authorities
d. Enemies

36. The passage states that a public trial to prove the fault of one spouse can
a. be satisfying to the wronged spouse
b. lead to a shorter divorce process

d. reactionary

Questions 41-50
Whereas literature in the first half of the eighteenth century in America had been
largely religious and moral in tone, by the latter half of the century the revolutionary
fervor that was coming to life in the colonies began to be reflected in the literature of

the time, which in turn served to further influence the population. Although not all
writers of this period supported the Revolution, the two best-known and most influential
writers, Ben Franklin and Thomas Paine, were both strongly supportive of that cause.

Ben Franklin first attained popular success through his writings in his brother's
newspaper, the New England Current. In these articles he used a simple style of
language and common sense argumentation to defend the point of view of the farmer
and the Leather Apron man. He continued with the same common sense practicality
and appeal to the common man with his work on Poor Richard's Almanac from 1733
until 1758. Firmly established in his popular acceptance by the people, Franklin wrote a
variety of extremely effective articles and pamphlets about the colonist's revolutionary
cause against England.

Thomas Paine was an Englishman working as a magazine editor in Philadelphia at the

time of the Revolution. His pamphlet Common Sense, which appeared in 1776, was a
force in encouraging the colonists to declare their independence from England. Then
throughout the long and desperate war years he published a series of Crisis papers
(from 1776 until 1783) to encourage the colonists to continue on with the struggle. The
effectiveness of his writing was probably due to his emotional yet oversimplified
depiction of the cause of the colonists against England as a classic struggle of good and
evil.

41. The paragraph preceding this passage most likely discusses

a. how literature influence the population

b. religious and moral literature

c. literature supporting the cause of the American Revolution
d. what made Thomas Paine's literature successful

42. The word "fervor" in line 2 is closest in meaning to

a. war
b. anxiety
c. spirit
d. action

43. The word "time" in line 3 could best be replaced by

a. hour
b. period
c. appointment
d. duration

44. It is implied in the passage that

a. some writers in the American colonies supported England during the Revolution
b. Franklin and Paine were the only writers to influence the Revolution

c. because Thomas Paine was an Englishman, he supported England against the

colonies
d. authors who supported England did not remain in the colonies during the Revolution

45. The pronoun "he" in line 8 refers to

a. Thomas Paine
b. Ben Franklin
c. Ben Franklin's brother
d. Poor Richard

46. The expression "point of view" in line 9 could best be replaced by

a. perspective
b. sight
c. circumstance
d. trait

47. According to the passage, the tone of Poor Richard's Almanac is

a. pragmatic

d. scholarly

48. The word "desperate" in line 16 could best be replaced by

CBAC ABDA BBBA DCAD BCDD CBAC DDBB ACCD ABAD BADC BCBA BAAB DD
Sesi Structure and Written Expression mempunyai dua tipe, PART A
- Stucture dan Part B - Written Expression. Pada umumnya Anda mempunyai 25
menit untuk mengerjakan soal pada sesi ini. Jumlah soal sebanyak 40 buah.

Apa yang diujikan?

Sesi kedua, disebut juga sebagai sesi grammar, menguji kecakapan Anda terhadap
standar formal aturan penulisan/grammar bahasa Inggris. Banyak aturan dapat
berterima dalam percakapan (spoken) tapi tidak dalam penulisan (written). Anda harus
menggunakan cara yang paling ekonomis (hemat waktu) dan matang (dengan baik)
dan strategi yang terbaik dalam menjawab semua soal dalam sesi ini.

Skill apa yang harus Anda persiapkan?

Anda harus betul-betul mengetahui aturan grammar yang benar dengan baik agar
Anda dapat dengan cepat mengetahui jawaban mana yang tidak sesuai
dengan grammar yang formal.

Pendekatan apa yang harus Anda gunakan untuk menjawab soal Part A - Structure?

- Ketahuilah bahwa petunjuk soal meminta Anda mengenali standar penulisan bahasa
Inggris yang formal.
- Ketahuilah bahwa Anda akan memilih satu jawaban yang paling benar untuk
melengkapi jawaban. Boleh saja diantara beberapa jawaban bisa melengkapi kalimat
tapi hanya ada satu yang paling benar.

Untuk pertanyaan Part A, Anda harus:

1. Membaca semua kalimat, dan mencoba memasukkan pilihan jawaban yang tersedia.
Misal masukkan terlebih dahulu pilihan jawaban A.
2. Jika jawaban A tidak benar, cobalah untuk memikirkan kenapa tidak benar.
3. Jika Anda sudah mengetahui kenapa jawaban A salah maka silahkan lanjut ke pilihan
B, C, dan D.
4. Jika masih saja tidak yakin, cobalah untuk mengingat rumus dari kalimat tersebut.
5. Jika Anda tidak bisa mendapatkan jawaban yang paling benar, eliminasilah terlebih
dahulu jawaban-jawaban yang jelas salah dan cobalah untuk menebak.

Contoh:
During the Daytona 500, the lead car ___________, leaving the others far behind.
A. forwarded rapidly
B. advanced rapidly
C. advanced forward rapidly
D. advanced in a rapidly manner

Analisa soal: Hal yang pertama Anda lakukan yaitu mencoba memasukkan jawaban A
pada soal. Anda dapat mengetahui bahwa jawaban A salah karena kalimat soal
membutuhkan kata kerja sementara jawaban A tidak memiliki kata kerja. Jika Anda
yakin bahwa kata kerja advanced pada jawaban B sudah sesuai untuk mengisi kalimat
di atas maka Anda tidak perlu lagi ke pilihan C dan D. Tapi jika anda kurang yakin Anda
boleh lanjut ke pilhan C. Anda melihat bahwa jawaban C berlebih-lebihan karena
terdapat dua kata yang mepunyai makna sama. Advance telah bermakna move
forward (maju). Sementara jawaban D kata rapidly (adverb) sebelum manner (noun)
harusnya rapid (adjective) untuk membentuk suatu phrase (gabungan kata) yang
benar. Ingat rumus (Adjective + Noun) bukan (Adverb + Noun).

Pendekatan apa yang harus Anda gunakan untuk menjawab soal Part B - Written Expression?

- Lagi, ingatlah bahwa Anda sedang mencari penulisan bahasa Inggris yang benar.
- Ingatlah bahwa Anda sedang mencari kata atau frasa (gabungan kata) yang salah,
yang mesti diubah agar kalimat menjadi benar.

Untuk pertanyaan Part B, Anda harus:

1. Membaca seluruh kalimat soal.

2. Jika Anda tidak menemukan jawaban yang salah dengan cepat. Maka ingatlah
rumus-rumus yang Anda telah pelajari dan pastikanlah pilihan-pilihan jawaban yang
benar.

Contoh Soal I:
In the united states, there are much holidays throughout the year.
A

Analisa jawaban: Ketika Anda membaca kalimat secara keseluruhan Anda dapat
mengetahui dengan cepat bahwa much tidak sesuai dengan kata holidays. Much
menandakan uncountable noun (benda tak bisa dihitung) sementara holidays dengan
jelas merupakan kata benda yang bisa dihitung (countable noun).

Contoh Soal II:

Tomatoes grows all year long in Florida
A

B C

Analisa jawaban: Jika Anda menjawab dengan terburu-buru, hanya dengan melihat
pilihan jawaban Anda bisa sja terkecoh dan memilih jawaban A dengan asumsi bahwa
tomatoes (plural/jamak) harusnya tomato (singular/tunggal) karena kata

kerja grows berbentuk tunggal. Tapi jika Anda membaca seluruh kalimat Anda akan
mendapati bahwa konteks kalimat tidak mendiskusikan tentang satu tomat. Olehnya
jawaban yang Anda pilih yaitu jawaban B. Grows seharusnya grow.

Strategi Menjawab Soal TOEFL Structure and Written Expression
