then turn it over and cook until both sides are golden brown and the pancake
has risen to about 1 cm (1/2 in) thick.

(+) Subject + have/has + Past Participle (V3)
(- ) Subject + have/has + not + Past Participle (V3)
(? ) Have/has + Subject + Past Participle (V3)

Mobile Phone

A mobile phone is also known as a wireless phone, or cellular telephone. It is a very


small portable radio telephone.
The mobile phone can be used to communicate over long distances without wires. It
works by communicating with a nearby base station (also called a "cell site") which connects
it to the main phone network. As the mobile phone moves around, if the mobile phone gets
too far away from the cell it is connected to, that cell sends a message to another cell to tell
the new cell to take over the call. This is called a "hand off," and the call continues with the
new cell the phone is connected to. The hand-off is done so well and carefully that the user
will usually never even know that the call was transferred to another cell.

Find out the sentences in the passive voice based on the text then rewrite in the colomn provided.

Sumatran Rhinoceros

The Sumatran Rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus Sumatrensis) is the smallest rhino species. It is


also the most distinctive rhinoceros. It has been hunted a lot that almost extinct. There are less
than 300 Sumatran Rhinoceroses surviving in Malaysia and Indonesia. Between 1985 and
1995, the number of Sumatran Rhinoceros declined by 50% because of poaching and habitat
destruction.
The Sumatran Rhinoceros has a unique gray or reddish-brown coat. It is believed to be
the only survivor of the lineage that included the wooly rhinoceros. Sumatran Rhinos stand up
to 1.4 m (4.6 ft) at the shoulder and weight up to 1,000 kg (2,200 lb). They have folded skin,
like the other Asian rhinos, except that is covered with coarse, bristly hair. The Sumatran
Rhinoceros is the only rhino in Asian with 2 horns. The front horn is usually the longest,
reaching a length of 90 cm (36 in) and the rear one is sometimes so small that the animal looks
as if it is single-horned.
They live mainly in forest-covered hills near water and are known to be good at climbing
slopes and swimming. They move mainly at night and spend most of the day wallowing in the
mud-holes and pools. Sumatran Rhinoceroses usually feed on leaves, twigs, and fruits.
Female Rhinos reach sexual maturity at about the age of five or six. The males mature
between the ages of seven or eight. However, they do not father calves until they have claimed
a territory, which may take them three or four years.
Rhinos always have a single calf, born after a gestation period of 15 to 18 months. The
calf may feed on its mother’s milk for up to two years and it usually remains with its mother
until she is about to give birth once more. The calf is only raised by its mother.

UJI KOMPETENSI 9
Read the following text to answer questions number 1 to 3.

An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when one celestial object moves into
the shadow of another. The term is most often used to describe either a solar eclipse, when the
Moon's shadow crosses the Earth's surface, or a lunar eclipse, when the Moon moves into the
shadow of Earth.
Eclipses may occur when the Earth and Moon are aligned with the Sun, and the
shadow of one body cast by the Sun falls on the other. So at New Moon (or rather Dark
Moon), when the Moon is in conjunction with the Sun, the Moon may pass in front of the Sun
as seen from a narrow region on the surface of the Earth and cause a solar eclipse.
At Full Moon, when the Moon is in opposition to the Sun, the Moon may pass through
the shadow of the Earth, and a lunar eclipse is visible from the night half of the Earth.

82
An eclipse does not happen at every New or Full Moon, because the plane of the orbit
of the Moon around the Earth is tilted with respect to the plane of the orbit of the Earth
around the Sun, so as seen from the Earth, when the Moon is nearest to the Sun (New Moon)
or at largest distance (Full Moon), the three bodies usually are not exactly on the same line.

1. When does lunar eclipse happen?


A. In the morning B. In the midday C. In the afternoon D. In the evening

2. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?


A. We can see the surface of the Moon from the Earth
B. The Sun is the biggest planet in our solar system
C. An eclipse never happens at New or Full Moon
D. The Sun and the Moon rotate on the same line

3. What will happen if the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth's surface? There will be …
A. A lunar eclipse B. Solar eclipse C. New moon D. Full moon

Butterflies are a type of insect with large and often colorful wings. They start out as
eggs. They lay their eggs on leaves. The eggs hatch into caterpillars with tabular body. The
caterpillar eats leaves, beds, or flowers of plants.

83
When a caterpillar is full sized, it goes into another stage called chrysalis. Caterpillars
attach themselves to something solid before becoming a chrysalis. The caterpillar inside the
chrysalis changes into a butterfly. Some butterflies make the change in one week. Some
others take years to change.
When the change is complete, the adult butterfly splits the chrysalis. The insect unfolds
its wings and pumps blood and air into then. It spreads out the wings until they become dry
and harder. The beautiful butterfly then flies to get nectar from flowers. Most butterflies live
only for one or two weeks.

trees ever native to the Socotra archipelago, part of Yemen, located in the Arabian Sea.
It is so called because of the red sap that the trees produce which resembles dragons'
blood.

the tip of the stem. It branches at maturity to produce a unique appearance, with an
"upturned, densely packed crown having the shape of an uprightly held umbrella". Its
leaves are found only at the end of its youngest branches; its leaves are all shed every 3
or 4 years before new leaves simultaneously mature. Branching tends to occur when the
growth of the terminal bud is stopped, due to either flowering or traumatic events.
Its fruits are small fleshy berries which contain between 1 and 3 seeds. As they
develop they turn from green to black, and then become orange when ripe. The berries
are eaten by birds and thereby dispersed. The seeds are 4–5 mm in diameter and weigh
on average 68 mg. The berries exude a deep red resin, known as dragon’s blood.

husband.
Their dream came true! The wife was pregnant. However they were surprised when they
saw the baby. He was so small. He was as big as a little finger. "You prayed to God to give us
a child, although he is as big as a little finger right? Be thankful to God. Let's love him. How
will you name him then?" asked the wife."You are right. We have to be grateful. Well, I will
name himLittle Finger.
Time passed by and Little Finger did not grow much. His body was still physically
small compared to other kids. Though he was so small, Little Finger ate like adults. He ate
much food.And that made his parents really worried. They were poor and sometimes they
could not eat because they had to give their food to Little Finger. "I cannot hold it anymore. I
want to put Little Finger in the jungle. Let him live there. I think he can survive," said the
father.

the house. As always he ate all the food and that made his father got angry. He thenhad
another idea. "Little Finger, let's go to the mountain. I need a big stone from there." Little
Finger was an obedient kid. He followed his father to go to the mountain. When they
arrived,his father pointed a big stone. The stone was as big as their house! "I want you to
bring that big stone to our house," asked the father. When Little Finger was trying to bring the
stone, thefather immediately ran home.
At night, when the father was sleeping, Suddenly he heard Little Finger's voice. "Father,
I'm home. Where do you want me to put this big stone?" This time Little Finger's father
realized his mistake. It was true that Little Finger's body was small and he ate much food. But

GHARIAL
The gharial is a large-sized reptile found in the murky waters of Northern India and
the surrounding countries. The gharial is closely related to other large reptiles including
caimans and alligators, although the salt-water crocodile is believed to be the gharials
closest relative.
The gharial is most commonly found in the calmer areas of the deep, fast-flowing
rivers of the North Indian subcontinent. The gharial spends most of its time in the water as it
is not well suited for a life on the land, due to its short legs.
The gharial (along with the larger adult salt-water crocodiles) is the longest of this
group of large reptiles, with there having been reports of adult male gharials reaching more
than six meters in length. The elongated snout of the gharial is ideal for catching fish in the
water, and contains more than 50 sharp teeth.
The gharial is a generally solitary predator. It does not have the same terrifying
reputation for eating humans as crocodiles do. Although the gharial has been known to show
aggressive behavior towards humans at times, the shape of the gharial's snout makes it
difficult for the gharial to consume anything too big.

33. What is the purpose of the text?


a. To warn people about gharial's snout. c. To remind the readers of large-sized reptile
b. To inform the diet of gharial. d. To explain the habit of gharial.

a. likes to live in group c. kills their prey for its community
b. enjoys being alone d. is lonely in the murky waters

There are about 5,000 different species of ladybugs in the world. These much loved critters are
also known as lady beetles or ladybird beetles. They come in many different colors and patterns, but the
most familiar in North America is the seven-spotted ladybug, with its shiny, red-and-black body.
The name "ladybug" was created by European farmers who prayed to the Virgin Mary when pests
began eating their crops. After ladybugs came and wiped out the invading insects, the farmers named them
"beetle of Our Lady." This eventually was shortened to "lady beetle" and "ladybug."
In many cultures, ladybugs are considered good luck. Most people like them because they are
pretty, graceful, and harmless to humans. But farmers love them because they eat aphids and other plant-
eating pests. One ladybug can eat up to 5,000 insects in its lifetime!
Most ladybugs have oval, dome-shaped bodies with six short legs. Depending on the species, they
can have spots, stripes, or no markings at all. Seven-spotted ladybugs are red or orange with three spots on
each side and one in the middle. They have a black head with white patches on either side.
Ladybugs are colorful for a reason. Their markings tell predators: "Eat something else! I taste
terrible." When threatened, the bugs will secrete an oily, foul-tasting fluid from joints in their legs. They
may also play dead. Birds are ladybugs' main predators, but they also fall victim to frogs, wasps, spiders,

Trains are very important to transportation. Trains carry


freight and people in places all over the world. Freight trains
haul goods. Passenger trains carry people. All trains run on
tracks.
A train is made up of railroad cars hooked together and
pulled by a locomotive. Locomotives are sometimes called
engines. Locomotives push or pull railroad cars. They have
powerful motors. The motors turn locomotive wheels that
run on railroad tracks. Sometimes you will see three or four locomotives hooked together
since they have to pull a long freight train up a steep mountain.
Some locomotives get their power from electricity. The electricity comes from wires above
the track or from a special third rail next to the track. Other locomotives get their power
from diesel fuel, which is similar to the gasoline that most cars use. The kind of locomotive
engines most used today are diesel-electrics. Engines that burn diesel fuel drive generators
that make electricity. Powerful electric motors turn the wheels of a diesel-electric
locomotive.

WHAT IS A PLANT?
Plants are one of the five main groups of living things. These groups are called
kingdoms. The plant kingdom includes such living things as grasses, trees, ferns, bushes, and
flowers. Botanists, the scientists that study plants, have counted more than 260,000 species
(kinds) of plants.
Plants vary greatly in size and shape. Some plants are so small they can hardly be seen.
Other plants tower above the land. The giant sequoia trees of California are one of the largest
living things on Earth. They can grow to heights of nearly 300 feet (90 meters)!
Just like animals, plants are made up of tiny structures called cells. But unlike animal
cells, plant cells are surrounded by a stiff material called cellulose. Most animals move around
and eat other things. Plants are different. Plants that grow on land usually stay in one place and
make their own food.
