 Walrus is a large marine mammal that is found inhabiting the freezing cold and icy waters of the
Arctic Circle.
Walruses have large and elongated bodies that are wider at the head and neck and taper towards their
tail which is embedded in a web of skin. Their tough and wrinkled skin is covered by a layer of sparse,
coarse hairs and is generally grey or brown in colour. However, whilst sunbathing out of the water, the
skin of the Walrus (which can be up to 4cm thick) develops a pink-red colouration.
Walruses have two pairs of flippers that are used to help to propel these large animals with great
agility through the water, with their bodies powered by their back flippers while the front flippers are used
to steer them in the right direction. On land, they move about awkwardly on all fours, curling their
back flippersunderneath them at right angles to give them more support. The skin on the bottom of
theirflippers is rough and knobbly which helps to prevent these enormous animals from slipping on the
ice. Walruses have long tusks (extra-long upper canine teeth) that are used for both fighting and to dig
into the ice when they are pulling their heavy bodies out of the water.

SNAKES
Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards (the scaled
group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes are not
slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to
reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are cold-blooded; they
need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in tress, some live in water, but most live
on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, and mice and other snakes. The Anaconda can eat
small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Some snakes are
protected by scaring their enemies away like the Cobra. The flying snakes glide away from danger. Their
ribs spread apart and the skin stretches out. Its technique is just like the sugar gliders.

Integrated Pest Management

There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used may cause
many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most effective way to control
pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the soil
which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger ones
have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects the
ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen and
applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in agriculture
and livestock.

1. Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides used?

A. Plants C. Human Beings
B. Ecology D. Environment
Answer: C
Pilihan jawaban paling tepat adalah C. Hal ini disimpulkan dari pernyataan dalam teks yang
menyebutkan “Lastly, some pesticides affect non targets palnts and animals such as fish and bees,
this affect the ecology and environment.” Yang artinya “Pestisida mempengaruhi beberapa hal selain
tanaman yakni, ikan dan lebah, kemudian ekologi dan juga lingkungan.” Dari pernyataan tersebut
dapat disimpulkan bahwa yang terpengaruh oleh efek dari pestisida selain tumbuhan adalah ikan,
lebah dan juga lingkungan, bukan manusia “Human Beings.” Sehingga pilihan jawaban yang paling
tepat adalah C.
2. What can you say about paragraph two and four?
A. The fourth paragraph supports the idea stated in paragraph two.
B. Both paragraphs tell about the disadvantages of using pesticides.
C. Both paragraphs tell about how pesticides affect the quality of farm products.
D. The statement in paragraph is contrary to the statement in paragraph four.
Answer: B
Pilihan jawaban yang tepat adalah B. hal ini berdasarkan pernyataan dari paragraf ke empat “Firstly,
the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the soil which
absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.” Yang artinya pestisida dapat
menyebabkan timbulnya residu dalam lingkungan dikarenakan penyerapan bahan kimia oleh tanah.”
Kemudian pada paragraf keempat pernyataan bahwa pestisida mempergaruhi tanah diulang kembali
dengan pernyataan “Lastly, some pesticides affect non targets plants and animals such as fish and
bees, this affect the ecology and environment.” Yang artinya “Pestisida mempengaruhi beberapa hal
selain tanaman yakni, ikan dan lebah, kemudian ekologi dan juga lingkungan.” Dengan demikian pilihan
jawaban yang tepat adalah B.

Male chauvinism (men’s believe in male superiority) extends even into the area of automobile driving, it
seems. They believe that they are far better drivers than women. Men consider women drivers
incompetent, inattentive and even dangerous behind the wheel.
However, statistics prove that women are, in fact, safer drivers than men. For example, insurance
rates for women are 20 percent than they are for men. Another proof is that more accidents are caused
by male drivers between the ages of 18 and 25 than by any other groups. Also the greater percentage of
accident involving death is caused by men. Although women are criticized for being too cautious, they are
really just being safe drivers.
The reason for women driver’s safer habits can perhaps be  found in the differing attitudes of sexes
toward automobiles as a convenience, like a washing machine.
On the other hand, men regard the automobile as an extension of their egos. Using it as a weapon
when they feel particularly aggressive or using it as a status symbol.
In all, women are safer drivers because of their attitude. Men can learn to become safe drivers if they
adopt the attitude that an automobile is merely a convenience.

Contoh soal:
Biodiesel is a clean burning substitute for petroleum based diesel fuel. Biodiesel is made of vegetable oil.
To make or manufacture Biodiesel, you must first start with raw materials. The raw materials needed
in the production of Biodiesel are a small amount of methanol and a ready supply of vegetable product.
One of the most common vegetables used in the production of Biodiesel is corn, although depending on
the geographic location of the manufacturing facility many other plants are used as well (rapeseed,
soybeans, flaxseed, etc.). The first step is to use the raw vegetable product to make vegetable oil.
Vegetable oil by itself will not be what you need to power a car, from here it has to be processed into
Biodiesel.
The process for converting vegetable oil into Biodiesel is sometimes called ester interchange. To
complete this process the vegetable oil has to be combined with a smaller amount of methanol and then
put in the presence of a small quantity of an alkaline catalyst (for example, 5% to 1% sodium hydroxide).
Vegetable oil is made up of so-called triglycerides, which is a compound of the trivalent alcohol glycerin
with three fatty acids. The goal of ester interchange is to separate the glycerin molecule from the three
fatty acids and replace it with three methanol molecules. This process then yields roughly 90% Biodiesel
and 10% of a glycerin byproduct. The glycerin byproduct can be used in a number of other chemical
processes for different industries.

1. What is the text about?

a. The process of making Biodiesel.
b. The use of the Biodiesel.
c. The advantage of using the Biodiesel.
d. The benefit of producing the Biodiesel.
e. The development of the Biodiesel product.

a. Producing c. Changing
b. Separating d. Processing
 Answer: C
Dalam bahasa Indonesia “converting” berarti mengubah atau menganti, kemudian dalam bahasa
inggris mengganti diartikan dengan “Changing” sehingga pilihan jawaban yang paling tepat adalah C.

Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of
the world. There are eight different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European
rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), cottontail rabbits (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit
(Pentalagus furnessi, an endangered species on Amami Oshima, Japan). There are many other species
of rabbit, and these, along with pikas and hares, make up the order Lagomorpha. The male is called a
buck and the female is a doe; a young rabbit is a kitten or kit.
Rabbit habitats include meadows, woods, forests, grasslands, deserts and wetlands. Rabbits live in
groups, and the best known species, the European rabbit, lives in underground burrows, or rabbits holes.
A group of burrows is called warren.
More than half the world’s rabbits population resides in North America. They are also native to
southwestern Europe, Southeast Asia, Sumatra, some islands of Japan, and in parts of Africa and South
America. They are not naturally found in most Eurasia, where a number of species of hares are present.
Rabbits first entered South America relatively recently, as part of the Great American Interchange. Much
of the continent has just one species of rabbit, the tapeti, while most of South America’s southern cone is
without rabbits.
1. From the text, we know that…
A. the rabbit is a natural animal in Eurasia
B. the number of rabbits in the world is limited
C. rabbits are small mammals found in all over the world
D. the population of the Amami rabbit is going to be extinct

continent has just one species of rabbit, the tapeti, while most of South America’s southern cone is
without rabbits” yang artinya “sebagian besar benua hanya memiliki satu spesies kelinci, sedangkan
Amerika selatan tidak ditemukan kelinci.” Maka, jawaban yang benar adalah D.

Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is a rare disease of unknown cause that results in the progressive
narrowing of the blood vessels of the lungs, causing high blood pressure in these blood vessels and
eventually leading to heart failure. It is more common in women between the ages of 21 and 40; however,
it can affect anyone at any age.
Initial symptoms of PPH may be very minor, and diagnosis may be delayed for several years until
symptoms worsen. Typical symptoms may include shortness of breath following exertion, excessive
fatigue, dizziness, fainting, weakness, ankle swelling, bluish lips and skin, as well as chest pain. It is
difficult to detect PPH in medical examination.
No one knows what causes PPH; however, research into the cause suggests a number of factors that
may be responsible for the disease. Possible causes include genetic or familial predisposition, immune
system disease, or drugs or other chemical exposures.
Primary pulmonary hypertension is treated with a number of drugs. None of the drugs that can cure or
halt the progression of this disease has been found yet, but they may relieve symptoms. Some patients
take vasodilators, which help to dilate the blood vessels in the lungs, reducing the blood pressure in them.
In addition, anticoagulants may be used to decrease the tendency of the blood to clot in the lungs.
Doctors can choose from a variety of drugs that help lower blood pressure in the lungs and improve heart
performance in many patients and medication that may take a long period of time. Patients with PPH
respond differently to the different medications that relax blood vessels and that no one drug is
consistently effective in all patients.
Most doctors and patients agree that it is very important for both patients and families to be as informed
as possible. This lets everyone understand the illness and apply the information to what is happening. In
addition to family and close friends, support groups can help PPH patients and give some valuable
experience sharing among sufferers.

16. Based on the information in the text, primary pulmonary hypertension….

A. is a rare disease that cannot be cured
B. implies malfunctioning of cardiovascular
C. will contribute to death if left untreated
D. optimally needs medical treatments

drugs that can cure or halt the progression of this disease has been found yet, but they may relieve
symptoms” yang berarti penyakit tersebut tidak dapat disembuhkan, tetapi gejalanya dapat dicegah

Thousands of years ago, the Jade Emperor of China organized a race for animals. The first 12
animals to finish were to be given a place in the Chinese Zodiac, and have a year named after them. The
cat and the rat, both late-risers asked the ox to wake them at dawn on the day of the race.  
 Came the day. The ox tried to wake the cat and the rat, but without success. They would open
their eyes, turn to the other side and go back to sleep. The race was about to start. Unwilling to leave
them, the ox coaxed them onto his back and started running. The rat woke up just as the ox was crossing
the last hurdle, a river. The sly rat knew that he could never beat the cat in the race. He took the chance
fate offered him and pushed the cat off the ox’s back. When the ox reached the other side, the rat jumped
off and scampered to victory, just ahead of the ox. The tiger came third, but he cheated. He crossed the
river by using the backs of the animals swimming across as stepping stones, leaping from one to
another. 
So the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac begins with the rat. After him comes the ox who is
followed by the tiger. After them come the rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and
pig, in that order. The cat, it must be noted, has no place in the zodiac. She wasn’t among the first twelve.
In fact she was lucky to finish, having almost drowned in the river.

Constitution, in December, 1787. It is a very small state, second only to Rhode Island. Another important
fact about Delaware is that nylon, that light-weight, yet strong fiber of the twentieth century, was invented
there. In colonial days, Delaware was part of the “bread basket” area, raising wheat, corn, and other
grains for national consumption.
In 1638, a group of Swedish settlers set up a colony along the Delaware River and lived there
peacefully until 1655 when the Dutch, who disliked the Swedes, settled there. Later, it was taken over by
the English, and finally became independent in 1776.

The following text is for questions 25 to 27.

Queen Aji Bidara Putih

Muara Kaman lies along the Mahakam River, in eastern Borneo. In the past the area was a kingdom
ruled by Queen Aji Bidara Putih. She was a typical queen of myths: beautiful, wise, and sensitive. Many
princes and kings proposed to her but she always refused them because she was more concerned with
ruling her country and guarding her people.

One day, a Chinese boat came to eastern Borneo. First, the people thought it was a merchant ship
but the boat was loaded with trade goods and highly trained soldiers. Their envoys brought gold and
porcelain to announce the marriage proposal from a prince of China. The queen didn’t refuse instantly
and replied that she had to ponder the proposal first.

After the envoys left the palace, the queen called a court officer and ordered him to infiltrate the
Chinese boat to gather information on the prince. When night fell the officer sneaked onto the boat, got by
all the guards, and finally found the prince’s room. The large door would not open and he couldn’t find a
peek hole, so the officer put his ear to the wall, trying to catch sounds from inside. He heard that the
prince was having his dinner and the noise of his chewing and slurping surprised the officer. It was like a
boar that he had once heard when he was hunting.

He quickly left the boat and returned to the palace. He reported that the prince must have been a
phantom, not a human. He believed that the phantom could be in a human’s form only during the daytime.
The queen was so surprised and got angry.
 On the next day, she refused his proposal. The enraged prince ordered his troops to raid Muara
Kaman. The battle was won by the prince’s huge band of troops. As they drew near to the palace, Queen
Aji Bidara Putih chewed a leaf of betel vine and sang a mantra while holding it. When she threw it at the
Chinese troops, it turned to giant centipedes. The Chinese troops started to retreat but three centipedes
chased them and sank the boat. The site of the sunken ship is now known as Danau Lipan (Lake of
Centipedes), with Chinese treasures hidden on the lake’s bed.

25. Where did the story take place?

A. In the area that is now called Muara Kaman
B. In the Lake of Centipedes
C. In a kingdom in China
D. In western Borneo
E. In Mahakam river
25. Answer: A
Cerita tersebut berlokasi di tempat yang sekarang bernama Muara Kaman.

26. Why did the envoys bring gold and porcelain?

A. load their ship
B. to trade them for stocks
C. to sell them to the queen
D. to share them with the residents
E. to announce the marriage proposal from a prince of China
26. Answer: E
Para utusan tersebut membawa emas dan porselen karena mereka mengumumkan tentang lamaran
pernikahan pangeran mereka. Hal ini terdapat dalam kalimat

27. What can we learn from the story?

A. It is necessary to be honest before you begin a relationship.
B. The cruel will damage everything you have.
C. Honesty is more than everything.
D. You have to fight for a true love.
E. You should believe on yourself.
27. Answer: C

Soccer Story
When I was nine, my soccer team went to a tournament in South Portland.  The only reason we got there
was because we didn’t lose a game during the regular season.  The first game was easy for my team.
We beat Biddeford five to one.  I got one goal and one assist.  My friend Patrick got a hat trick, and Bailey
got a goal also.
The next game was a lot tougher.  We played Westbrook and beat them one nil.  I played goalkeeper for
the entire game.  My teammate Josh is the one who scored the only goal of the game.  We barely made
the playoff.  We were tied with two other teams, but we had more goals than they did so we got to move
on.
The third game was the hardest yet.  We would get a goal then they would.  This went on for about four
goals then finally my team scored two in a row.  This game we played Bonny Eagle, and the final score
was four to six.  Our team won, so we went on to semifinals and played the Massabesic team.  We tied
them, so we went onto sudden death.  In sudden death they took out one of our midfielders in the box.
We got a penalty kick.  Our best player took the kick and put it right in the top corner.
We won, and we’re going to the finals!  We played Saco.  It was the toughest game I had ever played as a
goalie.  I saved eighteen shots.  The game was tied until the final minute when our best player scored.  It
was one to zero with 56 seconds left.  The other team set up for an attack play.  They had seven on
offense.  They rushed up the field, got past the defense and shot.  I saved the first shot but not the
second.  They tied the game.  We had OT but neither team scored.  We went into a penalty shoot out.
Our team got all our shots in, and saved three of the other team’s shots.  We won the finals.  We got
medals and t-shirts saying that we were the champions.
We won the South Portland tournament.

Male chauvinism (men’s believe in male superiority extends even into the area of automobile driving, it
seems. Believing that they are better drivers than women, men consider women drivers incompetent,
inattentive, and even behind the wheel.
However, statistics prove that women are, in fact, safer drivers than men. For example, insurance
rates for women are 20 percent lower than they are for men. Another proof is that more accidents are
caused by male drivers between the ages of 18 and 25 by any other groups. Also the greater percentage
of accident involving deaths is caused by men. Although women are criticized for being too cautious, they
are really just being safe drivers.
The reason for women drivers’ safer driving habits can perhaps be found in the differing attitudes of
sexes toward automobiles as a convenience, like a washing machine. On the other hand, men regard the
automobile as an extension of their egos. Using it as a weapon when they feel particularly aggressive or
using it as a status symbol. In all, women are safer drivers because of their attitude. Men can learn to
become safe drivers if they adopt the attitude that an automobile is merely a convenience.

than they are for men.” Yang artinya “Menurut data statistik, perempuan merupakan supir yang
lebih aman dibandingkan dengan laki-laki, sebagai contoh rating kecelakaan perempuan lebih
rendah dari laki-laki.”
34. We can understand from the text that?
a. men always criticize women for their bad driving attitude
b. women show their egos by aggressive driving

The following text is for questions 1 to 5.
Diponegoro War (1825 to 1830) was one of the greatest battles ever experienced by the Dutch. The war
led by efforts to control the economy as well as the kingdoms. At that time the Dutch government was in
economic trouble. The Dutch maximized profits by imposing various taxes, a monopoly business and
trade. To further strengthen the power and economy, the Dutch tried to control the kingdoms. Prince
Diponegoro, the eldest son of the royal family of Yogyakarta, was already fed up with the behavior of the
Dutch who did not respect the local customs and exploited the people with taxation.
The immediate cause of Diponegoro’s rebellion was the Dutch’s decision to build a road across a piece of
his property that contained a sacred tomb. At first, the Dutch planned the construction of the road from
Yogyakarta to Magelang. Then the Dutch changed his plans and rerouted it past Tegalrejo. Apparently in
one sector, it was across the graves of the ancestors of Prince Diponegoro. This makes Prince
Diponegoro offended and decided to take up arms against the Dutch. He then ordered his men to pull out
stakes through the tomb.
Diponegoro’s forces made use of their local knowledge to achieve early victories. Villagers were ordered
to cut down trees to block roads as well as burn down the wooden bridges and dig up road surfaces.
Often roads were covered with sharpened bamboo stakes. Javanese military planning was also very
sophisticated. Diponegoro used ferry boats to supply his forces. His contacts in the underworld also
meant that he was helped by bandits communities who controlled the key river crossing points. The
Javanese forces were also able to use modern weapons. They had firearms and used cannons they had
taken from the Dutch. Crucially, they were able to fight the war on their terms. They fought against the
Dutch in a guerrilla war strategy which allowed them to fight the war they way they wanted.
The Dutch appointed a skilled and adaptable commander, De Kock. One of his strategy was benteng
strategy. He could successfully isolated Diponegoro’s forces and deprived him of the local support he
needed to keep fighting.  The Dutch were also very clever in offering amnesties and rewards to those of
Diponegoro’s supporters who surrendered to them. This encouraged many to stop fighting for
Diponegoro. Interestingly, the Dutch also offered a large reward for Diponegoro either dead or alive.
However, the personal loyalty felt towards Diponegoro and no-one betrayed him.
By 1830, after months in hiding, and on the run, Diponegoro agreed to peace talks with the Dutch.
However, after some negotiations he was arrested and soon exiled out of Java. The Dutch administration
made sure that he was never allowed to return to Java.  He died in exile at Makassar.

The following text is for questions 16 to 20.

There are millions of plants and animals living in the sea. Most of the plants and animals living in the
oceans are extremely small and float near the surface of the water in their thousands. They are food for
huge numbers of small animals that also live near the surface. Together, they are all known as plankton.
Many fish feed on this plankton, including one of the largest, the whale shark. Despite their great size,
certain whales live entirely on plankton.
The blue whale is a smaller kind and has long flippers. It can jump right out the water. The Californian
grey whale makes long migrations every year – it spends the summer feeding in the Arctic but swims south
to the warmer waters off the coast of Mexico in the winter. The females give birth in the shallow, warm water
there. Many of the fish in the sea may be eaten by other meat-eaters. Sharks, for example, are some of the
fastest hunters; although not of them eat other fish.
Deep down in the oceans live many strange fish. It is so dark down that many of these fish have “light”
on them, which are used for attracting smaller fish for the large ones to eat.
Jellyfish are peculiar-looking creatures ranging in size from a fraction of an inch to 6 feet across. They
don’t really swim but drift in the currents of the open oceans. Although they contain a powerful sting, they
are often eaten by turtles. Turtles are reptiles that spend most of their eggs on shady beaches.

to my barn, and their estimates vary between $1,500 and $1,750.
I would like your company to take into consideration the estimates I have provided and reevaluate your

legal counsel.
I will appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.
Yours sincerely,

An Alliance Could Answer The Growing Threat from Google and Facebook
By Evelyn M.Rulsi and Nick Bilton
 Apple, which has stumbled in its efforts to get into social media, has talked with Twitter in recent
months about making a strategic investment in it, according to people briefed on the matter.
Although apple has been hugely successful in selling phones and tablets, it has little traction in social
networking, which has become a major engine of activity on the Web and on mobile devices. Social
media are increasingly influencing the ways people spend their time and money important consideration
for Apple, which also sells application, games, music and movies.
Apple has considered an investment in the hundreds of millions of dollars, one that could value Twitter
at more than $10 billion, up from an $8.4 billion valuation last year, these people said. They declined to be
identified because the discussions were private.
There is no guarantee that the two companies, which are not in negotiations at the moment, will come
to an agreement. But the earlier talks are a sign that they may form a stronger partnership amid
intensifying competition from companies like Google and Facebook.
Apple has not made many friends in social media. Its relationship with Facebook, for example, has
been strained since a deal to build Facebook featured into Ping, Apple’s music-centric social network, fell
apart. Facebook is also aligned with Microsoft, which owns a small stake in it. And Google, an Apple rival
in the phone market, has been pushing its own social network, Google Plus.

a. Social networking d. Twitters success in social media
b. Apple’s new products e. Apple’s plan to cooperate with Twitter

“Although Apple has been hugely successful in selling phones and tablets, it has little traction in
social networking.” Yang artinya “Meskipun sukses dalam penjualan telepon genggam dan tablet,
Apple memiliki daya tarik yang sangat kecil dalam segi jejaring sosial.” Sehingga dari pernyataan
tersebut dapat kita simpulkan bahwa Apple sangat sulit dalam hal mendapatkan atau bekerja sama
dalam bidang sosial media, dan pilihan jawaban yang tepat adalah D.
29. “But the earlier talks are sign that they may form a stronger partnership.”
The underlined word means ....
a. collusion d. collaboration
b. negotiation e. agreement

The following text is for questions 38 to 40.

Most people agree that the family planning programme is desirable for the good of family and society. But
individuals and religious groups differ sharply on the methods of birth control that they consider moral and
acceptable.
Couples that practice birth control do so for various reasons. They may want to limit or space their
children, or to have no children at all. Young couples often postpone having children so that both partners
can work full-time. Other couples space their children so they can give each as much attention as
possible. Some women are advised by their doctor to avoid pregnancy for health reasons. In many
countries with rapidly growing populations, the government encourages couples to limit the number of
their families.
Even thought birth control has gained in acceptance, opposition to the practice is continuous. Some
people fear that birth control encourages sexual outside marriage or that government might impose birth
control. Some religious groups oppose birth control on moral grounds.
Some religious groups teach that artificial methods of birth control are immoral because they separate
the purposes of intercourse in marriage-conjugal love and the procreation of children. Although they
oppose all artificial birth control, they consider natural family planning to be acceptable.

38. Some religious groups refuse to use … birth control because of moral values.
a. high quality
b. original
c.  natural
d. man-made
e. home-made
Answer: D
Pilihan jawaban ini disimpulkan berdasarkan pernyataan di dalam teks yakni “Some religious
groups teach that artificial methods of birth control are immoral because they separate the
purposes of intercourse in marriage-conjugal love and the procreation of children.” Yang artinya
“beberapa orang yang taat beragama mengajarkan bahwa dengan adanya pengontrolan terhadap
kelahiran merupakan hal yang tidak bermoral karena memisahkan tujuan melakukan perkawinan
dan hak untuk memiliki anak yang merupakan hal yang alami.” Dengan pernyataan tersebut kita
dapat mengambil kesimpulan bahwa Kontrol Kelahiran atau (KB) merupakan alat manusia (Man-
made) yang tidak boleh digunakan karena dinilai tidak bermoral dan menentang sifat alamiah
manusia.
39. We learn from the text that?
a. most couples want to postpone giving birth.
b. people space children to give them less attention.
c. not everybody agrees with the birth control methods.
d. all couple want to limit their children.
e. women avoid being pregnant because of economic problems
Answer: C
 Yang dapat kita pelajari dari teks tersebut adalah “Not everbody agrees with the birth control
methods”.
40. Paragraph two tells us about?
a. he small and big families.
b. the postponement to having children.
c. the government’s encouragement for happy family.
d. the reasons why couples do birth control.
e. the reasons why a woman avoids to have baby.
Answer: D
Pilihan jawaban D, sesuai dengan pernyataan di dalam teks, pada paragraf kedua alinea pertama,
yang menyebutkan “Couples that practice birth control do so for various reasons.” Yang artinya
“Pasangan yang melakukan Metode Kontrol Kelahiran (KB) memiliki berbagai alasan.” Dari
pernyataan tersebut kita dapat mengetahui jika paragraf kedua membahas mengenai berbagai
alasan pasangan melakukan metode kontrol terhadap kelahiran atau kehamilan.

URAIAN
The following text is for questions 1 to 5.
Acid rain is rain that is highly acidic because of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other air pollutants
dissolved in it. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6. Acid rain may have a pH value as low as 2.8.
Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life. Certain lakes, for example, have lost all fish
and plant life because of acid rain.
Acid rain comes from sulfur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulfur dioxide (SO2 ). Most sulfur
leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulfur dioxide (SO2 ) and most nitrogen are also emitted as one
of the nitrogen oxides (NO or NO2 ), both of which are gasses. The gasses may be dry deposited–
absorbed directly by the land, by lakes or by the surface vegetation. If they are in the atmosphere for
anytime, the gasses will oxidize (gain an oxygen atom) and go into solution as acids. Sulphuric acid (H2
SO4 ) and the nitrogen oxides will become nitric acid (HNO3 ). The acids usually dissolve in cloud
droplets and may travel great distances before being precipitated as acid rain.
Catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and ammonium help promote the formation of acids in
clouds. More ammonium (NH4 ) can be formed when some of the acids are partially neutralized by
airborne ammonia (NH3 ). Acidification increases with the number of active hydrogen (H+) ions dissolved
in acid. Hydrocarbons emitted by, for example, car exhausts will react in sunlight with nitrogen oxides to
produce ozone. Although it is invaluable in the atmosphere, low-level ozone causes respiratory problems
and also hastens the formation of acid rain. When acid rain falls on the ground it dissolves and liberates
heavy metals and aluminum (Al). When it is washed into lakes, aluminum irritates the outer surfaces of
many fish. As acid rain falls or drains into the lake the pH of the lake falls. Forests suffer the effect of acid
rain through damage to leaves, through the loss of vital nutrients, and through the increased amounts of
toxic metals liberated by acid, which damage roots and soil microorganisms.
Questions:
1. What is the text tells about?
2. What are materials dissolved in the acid rain?
3. How many pH contained in acid rain?
4. What catalyst hat help promote the formation of acid in clouds?
5. What effects does acid rain on the forest?

Answer:
1. The text is tells about acid rain.
2. Sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other air pollutants dissolved in it.
3. Acid rain may have a pH value as low as 2.8.
4. Catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and ammonium.
5. Acid rain make damage leaves, the loss of vital nutrients, and the increased amounts of toxic metals
liberated by acid, which damage roots and soil microorganisms.

1909.
Monoyer died at the age of 76 years. His tomb is located in the Cimetière de la Guillotière in Lyon. On
Saturday 13 July 1912, a long procession of friends and members of the Faculty of Medicine at the
University of Lyon accompanied Professor Monoyer to his final resting place.
Professor Hugounenq traced Monoyer’s career as chair at the University of Lyon, Associate Professor
Nogier spoke on behalf of the students of the late master and Louis Dor made a speech on behalf of the
Ophthalmological Society of Lyon. The speech made in Monoyer’s honour by the President of Société
nationale de Médecine de Lyon during the 11 November 1912 session of the Société was concluded as

The following text is for the questions 29 to 32.

The case of animals in medical research has many practical benefits. Animal research has enabled
researchers to develop treatments for many deseases, such as heart disease and depression. It would
not have heen possible to develop vaccines for diseases like smallpox and polio without animal research.
Any drug you take today was tried first on animals.
Future medical research is dependent on the use of animals. Which is more important: the life of a rat
or that of a three-year-old-child?
Medical research is also an excellent way of using unwanted animals. Last year, over twelve million
animals had to be killed in animal shelters because nobody wanted them as pets.
The fact that human’s benefit cannot be used to justify using animals in research anymore than it can
be used to justify experimenting on other humans. Animals suffer a lot during these experiments. They
are forced to live in small cages, and they may be unable to move.
Much of the research that is carried out is unnecessary anyway. Animals have the same rights as
human’s do- to be able to move freely and not to have pain or fear forced upon them. Researchers must
find other ways of doing their research, using cell culture and computer modelling. There should be no
animals in research laboratories at all.

29. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

a. There are some advantages of using animals in medical research
b. It is estimated more than 12 million animals are killed every year
c. Researchers have the best way of doing their research

b. An argument about the using animals in medical research
c. Persuading the readers not to use animals in research
d. Sharing opinion against of using animals in research
e. The reason of using animals in research
Answer: A
Pilihan jawaban yang tepat adalah A. Jawaban ini berdasarkan dua main topic dalam dua paragraf
awal yakni “The case of animals in medical research has many practical benefits.” Yang artinya
“Dalam kasus penggunaan binatang untuk penelitian kesehatan, memiliki banyak sekali
keuntungan.” Kemudian terdapat pula bagian kontra atau tidak setuju di dalam teks tersebut yakni,
”Animals suffer a lot during these experimements. They forced to live in small cages, and they
maybe unable to move. Much of the research that is carried out is unnecessary anyway.” Yang
artinya “Binatang sangat menderita dalam eksperimen yang dilakukan, mereka dipaksa untuk
hidup di dalam kandang yang kecil, sehingga mereka tidak dapat bergerak, demi penelitian yang
terkadang tidak diperlukan.”

village and at the village like that any places such as river, yard, farm and garden were the most
enjoyable place to play together.
At the dry season, usually we played kites, fishing, or swimming at the river. And that day was the day

day. We were swimming at the wrong place that was the place for the sand mining area. That place was
dangerous for children like us because the depth and the stream were unpredictable.
We did not recognize the danger of that area. We swam happily because at that area we could find
some small boats that were used for mining. Of course we used the boats to play also. We were 8
children swimming at the dangerous place. At first we did not know that there was something wrong
happened, we were still playing and swimming happily until the afternoon almost over.
Because we had been there for more than two hours, we felt cold and stopped playing. We wore our
cloth and finally we recognized that one of us was disappeared. We began to be panic and afraid. We
called people who was still at the mining area and told them that our friend had gone. That people was
also panic and angry and they quickly began to look for our friend together. Many people explored the
whole area to find our friend.3 hours left and the result was nothing.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Nuclear Power
Nuclear power is generated by using uranium which is a metal mined in various parts of the world. The
first large scale of nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria, England in 1956.
Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engine. Nuclear power produces
around 11% of the world’s energy needed, and produces huge amounts of energy. It causes no pollution
as we would get when burning fossil fuels. The advantages of nuclear plant are as follows:
o It costs about the same coal, so it is not expansive to make.
o It does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
o It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of uranium.
o It produces small amount of waste.
o It is reliable.
On the other hand, nuclear power is very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many years
to allow the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore, although it is reliable, a lot of money has to be spent
on safety because if it does go wrong, a nuclear accident can be a major accident.
People are increasingly concerned about this matter. In the 1990s nuclear power was the fastest
growing source of power in many parts of the world.

should be a woman and society is structured around that. Day care is called mother and toddler groups
and some men feel awkward about belonging to those groups.
Professor Gary Cooper, a psychologist at the University of Manchester, said many men tend to
underestimate the task of caring for a family. He said “Most men think being a house husband involves
putting on a bit of washing, taking the kids to school and then putting their feet up with a cup of coffee.
They are crazy. Most men are not used to performing a variety of activities simultaneously (the kind of
multi-tasking which is second nature to most women).”
It is estimated that men have taken over the main homemaker’s role in one in seven homes, as
increasing numbers of women become the main breadwinner. The study also found that women in high-
powered jobs were more likely to develop heart disease than those in more junior positions.

often show these animals this way. But gorillas are really gentle animals.

to survive. A large, wild gorilla might eat over 40 pounds of leaves and fruit in one day.

URAIAN
The following text is for questions 1 to 5.
The sense of taste is one a person’s five senses. We taste with the help of taste-buds in the
tongue. There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other tastes are just mixtures
of two or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are
connected to the brain by special nerves which send the so-called “tastes messages. When the toggle
comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will pick up the taste. The nerves then send
messages to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste. All this happens in just a few second.
There are four kind of taste buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular taste. These four
groups are located in deferent pies of the tongue. The taste-buds for salty and sweet tastes are found
round the tip of the tongue and along its sides. Sour tastes can be pick up only at the sides of the tongue.
The taste-buds for bitter taste are found at the imiermost edge of the tongue. There are taste-buds at the
center of the tongue.
The senses of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its taste.
Similarly: attractive colours can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does not smell good
or is dull-coloured, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all. Very hot or cold sensations can make
taste buds insensitive. Food that is too hot or too cold, when placed in the mouth, will have no tastes at
all. (Sumber: UNAS 2006)

The following text is for questions 27 to 29.

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest cat species, reaching a total body length of up to 3.38 m (11.1 ft) over curves and
exceptionally weighing up to 388.7 kg (857 lb) in the wild. Its most recognisable feature is a pattern of dark vertical stripes on
reddish-orange fur with a lighter underside. The species is classified in the genus Panthera with the lion, leopard, jaguar and
snow leopard. Tigers are apex predators, primarily preying on ungulates such as deer and bovids. They are territorial and
generally solitary but social animals, often requiring large contiguous areas of habitat that support their prey requirements. This
coupled with the fact that they are indigenous to some of the more densely populated places on Earth, has caused significant
conflicts with humans.
Tigers once ranged widely across Asia, from Turkey in the west to the eastern coast of Russia. Over the past 100 years, they
have lost 93% of their historic range, and have been extirpated from southwest and central Asia, from the islands of Java and
Bali, and from large areas of Southeast and Eastern Asia.

In Indonesia, we are very familiar with the word "Tsunami". This natural disaster has ever killed thousands of lives in Banda Aceh
a few years ago. Indonesia mourned, the world mourned. Then, how the Tsunami happens? Here is a brief explanation of the
process of how the Asian tsunami happens.
Tsunamis can occur if there is a phenomenon which causes the displacement of large amounts of water in the ocean, such
as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides, and meteors that fall to Earth. However, 90% of tsunamis are the result of
underwater earthquakes.
Vertical movement in the Earth's crust in the bottom of the ocean causes a sudden up or down movement of sea floor which
then causes the water balance disorders above it. This disturbance causes the occurrence of the flow of the massive sea water
energy, that once it reaches the shore, it becomes huge waves resulting Tsunami.

This following text is for the questions number 37 to 39.

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the
object. In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use of aerial sensor technology to detect and classify objects on Earth
(both on the surface, and in the atmosphere and oceans) by means of propaganda signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation
emitted from aircraft or satellites).
There are two main types or remote sensing: passive remote sensing and active remote sensing. Passive remote detect
natural radiation that is emitted or reflected by the object or surrounding area being observed. Reflected sunlight is the most
common source of radiation measured by passive censors. Expels of passive remote sensors include film photography, infrared,
charge-couple devices, and radiometers. Active collection, on the other hand, emits energy in order to scan objects and areas
whereupon a sensor then detects and measures the radiation that is reflected or backscattered from the target. Radar and Lidar
are examples of active remote sensing where the time delay between emission and return is measured, stabilizing the location,
height, speed and direction of an object.

37. From the text we know that remote sensing ….

a. is a way to obtain information about an object or phenomenon
b. is not difficult to do
c. makes physical contact with the object
d. does not make use of censors
e. does not make use of propagated
Answer: A
Jawaban ini sesuai dengan pernyataan di dalam teks “Remote sensing is the acquisition of
information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object”.
 38. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
a. Active sensing than passive sensing
b. The energy in sunlight is important for remote sensing
c. Passive sensing is not as strong as active sensing
d. The source of energy radiated for sensing determines whether it is the active or passive type
e. Active remote sensing and passive remote sensing are equally useful for the development of
knowledge and technology
Answer: E
Active remote sensing and passive remote sensing are equally useful for the development of
knowledge and technology.
39. Based on the text we can say that ....
a. remote sensing is expensive technology

The following text is for questions 1 to 5.
Blueberries, cranberries, and huckleberries, like dark skinned bunch grapes, contain restorative, a
potential anticancer agent. That’s a new finding from preliminary data from ARS collaborative studies with
Rutgers University-New Jersey and Ag Canada, Kent ville, Nova Scotti. Restorative protects dark-skinned
bunch grapes from fungal diseases and provides health benefits to consumers, including protection from
cardiovascular disease. The compound’s anticancer potential warranted its examination in other fruits.

Using gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric procedures, the scientists measured the restorative
content of 30 whole fruit samples of blueberry, cranberry, huckleberry, and related plants representing 5
families and 10 species of Vaccination fruit. They found that several samples contained varying amounts
of the compound. Analysis of extracts of the skin, juice/pulp, and seed of muscadine grapes showed that
its concentration in fruit skin was highest. Levels in the juice/pulp were much lower than in either skin or
seeds. Researchers are continuing to analyze more Vaccination and muscadine samples. Future
research goals will include enhancing production of restorative in selected species.

Questions:
1. What kind of the text is it?
2. What is contained in the kind of berries?
