PETUNJUK KHUSUS:
I. Some texts and questions will be given in this section. Read them carefully and answer the
questions by crossing a, b, c, d or e in your answer sheet!.
Icebergs are mountains of freshwater ice floating in the ocean. They are huge chunks broken off
from the great masses of land ice called glaciers.
Almost all of Greenland and Antarctica are covered by glaciers the year round. Glaciers also cover
parts of Alaska. They are formed by layers of packed snow. Glacier may be thousands of meters
thick. Their front ends, or tongues, reach down to the sea. At the coast the tips of the tongues break
off, plunge into the oceans, and become icebergs. This process is called calving.
When calving occurs, a loud cracking noise fills the air. Sometimes a low rumbling can be heard for
hours before the ice actually breaks away. People close enough can hear the hissing of air as it
escapes from bubbles bursting in the ice along the break.
Glaciers calve all year round. Just as many icebergs break off in winter as in summer. But in winter
their passageway to open the sea is often jammed with masses of frozen seawater. Icebergs pile up
behind this jam of sea ice. In the spring, when the ice block is broken, a whole fleet of icebergs may
sail out toward the open ocean.
Icebergs from the eastern coast of Greenland drift southward. They are carried by the Greenland
Current, which then swings them northward around the tip of the island. Part of the way up the
coast the icebergs are caught in the cold Labrador Current and carried southward toward Newfound-
land
On the way, most of the icebergs become grounded among the many islands and bays along the
Labrador coast. The others float on toward the open sea. Off Newfoundland they are caught by a
warm current from the south called the Gulf Stream. Icebergs that do not ground and remain in the
Labrador Current often enter the lanes used by ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
An iceberg starts to break up almost as soon as it is afloat. Cracks appear and become filled with
water from ice that melts during the day. When this melted water freezes at night, it expands and
widens the cracks. The ice is weakened, and pieces of iceberg break off and float away. The iceberg
becomes smaller and smaller. Most icebergs melt completely within a few days of entering the Gulf
Stream

My neighbour’s children love playing hide-and-seek as all children do, but no one expected that a
game they played last week would be reported in the local newspaper.
One afternoon, they were playing in the street just outside the post office. Young Ian, who is only
five years old found the perfect place to hide. His sister, Janet, had shut her eyes and was counting
up to ten when Ian noticed that the small metal door of the letter-box had been left open. The
postman had just taken all the letters out and had gone into the post office to see if there were any
parcels. Ian climbed into the letter-box and pulled the door from the inside so hard that it locked.
Soon realizing what he had done, he became very frightened and started crying. Meanwhile, Janet
was looking for him everywhere but could not find him. It was lucky she happened to stop outside
the letter-box and hear her brother’s cries. She immediately ran to tell the postman who hurried out
to unlock the metal door. Ian was now free, but he had had such a bad fright that he could not stop
crying. The postman, however, soon found a way of making him laugh again. He told him that next
time he wanted to hide in a letter-box, he should remember to stick a stamp on himself

Divorce changes childhood but not necessarily for the worse. Many children from broken homes go
on establish loving relationships with both their parents.
It’s difficult for children to be party to any ongoing dispute between parents.
One child spoke of the “Bermuda Triangle” – the mythical space between the homes of her parents
into which socks and schoolbooks, game kit and pencil sharpeners always seemed to disappear.
Another child complain bitterly that one mother refuse to let her on the weekends she spent with
her dad. They hated being told secrets and carrying messages to and from between their parents.
Worrying about how kids will be affected by divorce often leads parents into crooked thinking.
What matters is overcoming and dealing with those difficulties. In life we are always going to face
difficulties and that we should never have problems is not a good way at looking at childhood.
Rather than wringing their hands about the harmful effects of splitting up, parents can be positive
and look at strategies for dealing with problems that might arise. As a proof, a lot of parents that we
interviewed stayed together longer than they have done though they were so worried about the
effect of divorce on their thinking that any kind of adolescent rebellion was because of the divorce.
What we are saying is that young people can strive under these circumstances and that it’s the
quality of the relationship that matter. Divorce might be a whole lot better than a really grim family
situation and children can often be extraordinarily happy and contented after their parents’ divorce

II ESSAY
41. Read the passage then correct the words which have wrong spelling.
A tsunami is a series of waves generated when water in a lake or in the sea is rapidly displace on a
massive scale. Eartquake, landslide, volcanic eruptions and large meteorite impacts all have the
potential to generate a tsunami. The effacts of a tsunami can range from unnoticable to devastating.
The term tsunami comes from the Japanese language meaning harbour (‘tsu’) and wave (‘nami’).
Although in Japanese tsunami is used for both the singgular and plural, in English tsunamis is well-
establised as the plural. The term was created by fishermen who retuned to port to find the area
surrounding the harbour devastated, although they had not been aware of any wave in the open
water.

Today, plastic has become an integral part of our life. Its uses are endless. Transparent plastics are
used for making lenses and the windows of aeroplanes. Polythene bags, again a plastic product, are
now being used in almost all walks of life. Articles of domestic use like buckets, cups, brushes,
combs, cabinets for radios and transistors etc, are also being made from plastics. Toys and sports
goods made from plastic have flooded the markets every where. The yarn for making terylene cloth
is in fact made from plastic. Today scientists have even succeeded in developing heat insulating
plastics. Foam cushions, seats in trains cars and aeroplanes – all are made from plastics.
Now, plastic are used as surgical aids also. There is hardly any field of life in which plastics are not
used
The manufacture of plastic in commercial scale was started for the first one by Leo Hendrik
Backeland. He made it form phenol formaldehyde. Subsequently new techniques were developed
for the production of the plastics. Today scientist have discovered many raw materials which are
used in the making of various kinds of plastic products.
The word “plastic’ has originated from the Greek word ‘plastikos’ which means to mould. It is made
from simple organic chemicals. It has many varieties and is available in many colors and varieties.
The plastic was invented by Alexander Parkes of England in 1862. in those days it was called
‘parkesine’ after him. In fact, this plastic was nitro-cellulose made soft by putting oil and camphor
into it.

45. Rewrite this passage. Use the correct capitalization and punctuation!
a plane needs air pressure under their wings to stay up in the air as they move forward the higher air
pressure underneath their wings pushes them upward and gives them lift
the smooth streamlined shape of the plane allows air to fly easily over its surface this helps to
reduce the drag causes by the air pushing against the plane and allows it to move rapidly through
the air
planes move forward using engines this movement is called thrust moving forward keeps a stream of
moving air passing over the wings which allows the plan to stay up in the air if the engines fall the
plane will begin to descend very quickly
