Text is for questions 16 to 19

I usually make friends easily, so I have a lot of friends – schoolmates, neighbours, relatives. I can’t
imagine my life without them. But there is one, who will always be in the first place in my heart. Her name
is Anna and she is my closest friend.
Anna is a very beautiful and charming girl and always attracts males’ attention. She is taller than me
and has straight brown hair and deep chestnut brown eyes. Like most teenagers she pays a lot of attention
to her appearance and likes dressing in the latest and most extravagant fashion. I don’t think I’ve ever
seen her in a T- shirt or jeans.
By nature Anna is communicative and outgoing and the thing she likes best is being the centre of
attention. Her biggest dream is to become a singer and I truly believe that one day she’ll make her wish
come true. Anna has won many prizes and has taken part in many concerts, because she sings really
incredibly.
As a normal human being, however, Anna also has her shortcomings. She never goes on time to her
dates. Sometimes she is absent-minded and inconsiderate and that makes people think she never takes
things seriously. But this is not true. She has a strong sense of responsibility and you can always rely on her.
Another characteristic she has is that she’s gregarious, sensitive and emotional. She also gets confused
easily and doesn’t forget those who have caused her harm.
The thing I admire most about Anna is that she is protective and likes to look after people. Believe it
or not, once she ever saved my life! I’ll never forget that day. We went swimming in a pool. Suddenly,
my left leg went dead I couldn’t go on swimming. I lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes I found
myself lying and Anna holding my hands. She, herself had pulled me out of the water. That was a real
narrow escape from the death, and if she weren’t there, I would have drowned.

16. The text tells us about..

A. The writer’s friends
B. Anna
C. The writer
D. Anna’s hobby

descriptive selalu ada di paragraf Identificationnya yaitu di paragraf 1 (Her name is Anna and she is
my closest friend) Keseluruhan text mendeskripsikan tentan Salah Satu teman Penulis yaitu Anna.
Pilihan A salah karena ada “s” di kata friend. C salah karena tidak mendeskripsikan penulis. D salah
karena tidak hanya mendeskripsikan hobbynya ana saja.

17. How old is possibly the writer’s friend? She is possibly … years old.
A. twenty one
B. fifteen
C. twenty two
D. twelve

Jawaban B
Kata kunci untuk menjawab umur ada di paragraf 2 yaitu pada kalimat “Like most teenagers”
Tes Persiapan Ujian Nasional 3 Kelas 9 SMP PRIMAGAMA – 7
 Teenagers means remaja. Remaja adalah peralihan antara masa anak2 dan dewasa yaitu antara
umur 13- 19 tahun. Range umur ini didapat dari kata teenagers yaitu umur yang berakhiran “teen”
yaitu mulai dari thirteen sampai nineteen.

18. “The thing I admire most about Anna is that she is protective and likes to look after people.”
It means that Anna is a … girl.
A. attentive
B. disappointed
C. bad
D. innocent

Jawaban A
Untuk menyimpulkan sifat dari Anna dapat dilihat dari kata “protective = melindungi” dan “look after
= menjaga” bisa disimpulkan Anna adalah gadis yang penuh perhatian.
attentive = penuh perhatian
disappointed = kecewa
bad = buruk
innocent = tidak bersalah

19. Why did Anna become so meaningful to the writer?

A. She was communicative and outgoing
B. She saved the writer’s life
C. She was too sensitive and emotional
D. She got confused easily

Jawaban B
Meaningful = bermakna, dengan kata lain tidak dapat dilupakan = unforgetable. Yang tidak pernah
dilupakan oleh penulis peristiwanya terdapat di paragraf terakhir kalimat ke 2 yaitu “Believe it or not,
once she ever saved my life! I’ll never forget that day”

The Caribbean Islands

The Caribbean Islands form a chain that separates the Caribbean Sea from the rest of the Atlantic
Ocean. They’re like a long necklace that stretches between North and South America. Many of the
islands were formed by the eruption of ancient volcanoes. Others are low-lying coral islands that
gradually rose from the ocean.
The Caribbean Islands are known by several names. The earliest name used by Europeans is the
Indies, later changed to the West Indies. The explorer Christopher Columbus called the islands the Indies
in 1492 because he thought he was near the coast of India. Later, Spain and France called the islands
the Antilles.
There are four large islands in the Caribbean Sea. They are Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and
Hispaniola. (Hispaniola is divided into Haiti and the Dominican Republic.) These four islands are often called
the Greater Antilles. Together, they account for about 90 percent of the land area of the Caribbean
Islands.
The rest of the Caribbean Islands are much smaller. They are often called the Lesser Antilles. Some
of these islands are no more than tiny slivers of exposed coral. You can see why pirates such as the
famous Blackbeard sailed these waters. There are countless small islands to bury treasure or hide on.
The weather of the Caribbean Sea is almost always warm and sunny. Sandy beaches line the coasts
of many islands. This is why millions of tourists visit the islands each year. Many tourists arrive on cruise
ships.
But life in the Caribbean Islands is not always paradise. Violent hurricanes or volcanic eruptions can
make the islands a very dangerous place to be. In the summer months, hurricanes can sweep in from
the Atlantic Ocean, bringing destructive winds to the islands. If a hurricane hits an island, look out! A
hurricane can cause terrible damage.

 COLORS OF PAINT
Artists call three special colors the primary colors of paint. These colors are magenta (purplish-pink),
yellow, and cyan (light greenish-blue). You can make other colors of paint by mixing the primary colors
together. But you cannot mix other colors of paint to make a primary color.
Suppose you want to paint a picture of an apple tree. You can make whatever colors you want to
use with just four jars of paint: magenta, yellow, cyan, and white. You mix yellow and cyan to make
green paint for the leaves. For the apples, mix magenta and yellow paint to make the color red.
To paint the sky light blue, you must use some white paint. White makes other colors lighter. Mix
magenta and cyan to make a deep blue. Then add some white paint to the blue paint until the blue
becomes light enough for the sky. White paint mixed with blue or another color is called a tint. A light
blue tint will make a color like a clear sky.
If you mix all three colors together you get black paint. You can make a color darker by mixing it
with black paint. Colors mixed with black paint are called shades. When you mix black and white
together, you get gray.
By mixing together different amounts of magenta, yellow, cyan, and white paint, you can make lots
of different colors. Everything you need to make beautiful paintings.

36. Based on the text who is the inventor of primary colors?

A. The scientist
B. The artist
C. The actress
D. The director

Jawaban B
Inventor = penemu kata di text yang menunjukkan bahwa primary colors ditemukan oleh artis ada

call yang artinya menyebut yang akhirnya menjadi patokan oleh semua orang. Dengan kata lain
inventornya adalah sang artist.

37. Shades is the form of paint colour with … one.

A. lighter appearance
B. more colourful
C. a tint
D. darker

Jawaban D
Kata kunci yang digunakan untuk menjawab adalah “shade” ditemukan di paragraf 4 pada kalimat
“Colors mixed with black paint are called shades” warna yang dicampur dengan warna hitam disebut
shade (bayangan). Black = Dark (gelap), darker = lebih gelap

38. Why does the primary colour have an important role?

A. All colours are obtained from their combination
B. Cyan, magenta and yellow are very important
C. If you mix together you will get black
D. To make beautiful paintings

Jawaban A
Important role = peran penting ----Dari kalimat “You can make other colors of paint by mixing the
primary colors together. But you cannot mix other colors of paint to make a primary color.” Yang
artinya kita bisa membuat semua warna dari campuran warna primer tetapi kita tidak bisa membuat
campuran warna untuk membuat warna primer. In short we can say semua warna are obtained
(didapat) dari kombinasi warna primer

39. “You mix yellow and cyan to make green paint for the leaves.”

Boston, Massachusetts, is also known as Beantown. In colonial days, beans baked slowly in molasses
was a favorite dish there.
It is one of the oldest cities in the United States. English colonists founded it in 1625. Because of its
excellent harbor, the city soon became the busiest port in America. It was the largest city in the colonies
for over 100 years. When the United States became a nation, Massachusetts became a state with Boston
as its capital.
This city is sometimes called the cradle of American independence. Many of the events that led to
the American Revolution happened in Boston. These events included the Boston Massacre in 1770 and
the Boston Tea Party in 1773. The massacre occurred when several citizens who were protesting the
presence of British troops in the city were shot and killed by the troops. The Tea Party happened when
colonists dumped a shipment of tea into Boston Harbor to protest a British tea tax.
In 1775, Paul Revere began his midnight ride in Boston to warn the colonists that the British were
coming. The following day, colonists fired on British soldiers marching to the nearby villages of Lexington
and Concord. That skirmish was the beginning of the American Revolution.
You can learn about Boston’s role in the revolution by following the Freedom Trail. This red path
along the streets and sidewalks of Boston connects the sites of 16 important events of the Revolution.
Today, the population of Boston and the surrounding suburbs is about 5.8 million people. Boston is
the largest city in the six-state New England region.
Education is still important in Boston. There are more than 65 colleges and universities in or near the city.
Some of them, such as Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), are world famous.

One day, Kodi a frog, saw Teri and Roni quarelling “You took it!” said Roni “No. I did not!” said Teri.
“Hey, what’s the matter?” asked Kodi
“Teri stole my crown!” said Roni
“No, I didn’t,” said Teri
“Yesterday, I still had my crown when she came to visit me,” said Roni.
“Today I cannot find the crown! Look, she is wearing it!” Roni shouted
“My mom gave me this crown,” Teri explained.
Kodi suggested they all go to Roni’s house.
“Where did you put it?” said Kodi to Roni.
“I put it on the table,” Roni answered.
They didn’t find the crown.
“May be, it fell down.” Kodi looked under the table. Nothing was there.
“It was my favourite crown!” Roni sobbed.
“I didn’t steal yours, but if you like it so much, you can have mine,” Teri gave Roni the crown.
“It’s here!” Kodi saw the crown behind the curtain.
Roni stopped crying, “Thank God, Kodi found it”
“Sorry, Teri, I accused you. I’m terrible friend!”
“It’s OK,” said Teri. “Let say thanks Kodi!”
