Jenis soal literasi Bahasa Inggris kadang hanya memerlukan strategi skimming, yaitu
membaca dengan cepat. Beberapa pertanyaan dapat dijawab dengan skimming, tidak
perlu membaca secara detail. Biasanya, soal yang ditanyakan adalah topik sebuah teks.
2. Scanning
Scanning adalah strategi membaca secara detail. Ini digunakan untuk mencari informasi
tertentu, spesifik atau rinci dalam bacaan. Tipsnya adalah dengan membaca soal
terlebih dahulu, lalu mencari kata yang bermakna sama dengan soal, lalu pilihlah
jawaban yang tepat.
3. Inference (menarik kesimpulan)

Inference atau menarik kesimpulan adalah pendapat pembaca yang logis berdasarkan
informasi pada bacaan. Soal inference digunakan untuk menguji penalaran pembaca.
Pembaca diminta menyimpulkan suatu paragraf, menyatakan ulang, maupun
berhipotesa sesuai secara logis sesuai fakta dan argumen yang ada pada bacaan
4. Pahami struktur wacana

Umumnya soal SNBT literasi Bahasa Inggris berupa teks eksposisi yang bertujuan
memberi informasi (informing), menjelaskan (explaining), dan membujuk pembaca
(persuading)
Perhatikan struktur teks tersebut, apakah menyajikan cause and effect (hubungan sebab
akibat). Problem and solution (masalah dan pemecahannya), compare and contrast
(membandingkan dan memperbedakan)
5. Manfaatkan pengetahuan awal (prior knowledge)
Pengetahuan awal yang dimiliki akan sangat membantu kalian memahami bacaan jika
pengetahuan awal yang ada berkaitan dengan topik yang dibahas.
.
Jenis soal dalam literasi Bahasa Inggris dan tips menjawab
Pada dasarnya, jenis soal yang diujikan selalu soal pemahaman dan penalaran. Tujuan
soal misalnya seperti mengidentifikasi topik bacaan, ide utama, ataupun menyimpulkan
selalu muncul di ujian hanya saja redaksi pertanyaannya berbeda-beda.
1. Topik /tema Bacaan

Topik utama merupakan subjek utama bacaan, tentang apa bacaan itu. Topik atau tema
bisa berupa inti isi tulisan (the text is about) atau judul tulisan (title)

Contoh pertanyaan:
➢ What is the topic of the text?

➢ What is the best title of the passage?
➢ The passage mainly talks about …
Cara mencari topik suatu paragraf

Baca dulu baris pertama dan kedua paragraph jika ada satu atau lebih paragraph
Temukan kata kunci (keyword) yang selalu diulang-ulang baik pada bagian awal,
tengah atau akhir, terutama bagian kesimpulan
Kata kunci (keyword) ini dapat berupa sinonim atau kata yang sama artinya
Cara menjawab soal menentukan topik bacaan topik adalah:
Membaca paragraf pertama dari teks secara utuh

Membaca kalimat pertama setiap paragraf
Membaca paragraf terakhir.
Temukan kata kunci (keyword) yang selalu diulang-ulang baik pada bagian awal,
tengah atau akhir, terutama bagian kesimpulan
Kata kunci (keyword) ini dapat berupa sinonim atau kata yang sama artinya
Simpulkan dan pilih jawaban yang sesuai. Topik ataupun judul umumnya berbentuk
frasa, bukan kalimat utuh
.
2. Tujuan penulis
Pertanyaan tipe soal ini kadang menanyakan tujuan penulis terhadap keseluruhan teks,
kadang juga terhadap kalimat atau frasa. tujuan penulis menulis wacana biasanya
menjelaskan, (explaining), menggambarkan (describing), atau mendiskusikan
(discussing) atau membujuk (persuading).
Untuk mengetahui tujuan suatu teks atau tujuan penulis, cari tahu dulu topik dari
bacaan, perhatikan paragraf pertama dan terakhir. Penulis akan mengulang kembali
intisari bahasannya pada paragraf terakhir. Juga perhatikan struktur teks, dan kata-kata
penghubung pada bacaan sehingga kesimpulan tentang tujuan penulis atas teks maupun
tujuan penulis atas kalimat yang ada dapat diidentifikasi.
Linkers atau connective words (kata penghubung) yang mengikuti misalnya for
example atau to illustrate berarti penulis bertujuan memberi contoh.
Tujuan Linkers

The present study sought to document the word reading and comprehension levels
attained by children who were implanted by 5 year age. IT was hypothesezed that
the improved speech perception abiliites acquired with cochlear implantation
would promote phonologival coding skills. (1)...
Three subtest from diagnostic reading assessment batteries standardized on

hearing children were administered to 181 children between 8 year 0 month to 9
years 11 month of age who had 4 to 6 years of implant experience. (2)…it included
lexical decision task, a rhyme task and the digit span subtest of the Wechlser
Intelegence Scale for children.
Over half of the children scored within the average range for their age compared
with the normative data for hearing children. (3)… they were higher nonverbal

These are amazing advances, but while all this scientific back-slapping is going on,
the dark cloud on the horizon is the emerging Ebolaepidemic in est Africa and the
warning undercurrent that comes with it. At that time of writing at least 7000
people have been infected and half of those have died. The CDC in America also
estimate that, because the level of reporting is so poor, the numbers can, in all
likelihood, be doubled or evne tripled. And because the rates of infection appear to
be growing exponentially, tens of thousands, or even millions, might ultimately be
affected.
To put the scale of the present situation into perspective, since first recorded case
of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo 38 years ago there have been fever
than 2.500 death documented in total. So this single presents outbreak is already
three times larger than the entire Ebola death toll ever. Its also no longer just an
African problem. The West has had its own wake-up call this week as the US ans
Spain, countries previously cases of the condition and despite strict infection-
control guide lines and practices, onward transmission of Ebolaon their home soil.
What is remarkable is that, while Ebola is terrifying and dramatic in its impact when
it causes an outreak, it appears to be relatively easy agengt o fight. Experimental
vaccines tested so far on animals have been impressively effective, protecting
against even injection of the live Ebola virus. But because they are at a test stage,
these agents, which will be critical if we’re to nip this outbreak in the bud, are
nowhere near ready for mass production. Trials are only now getting underway of
human versions of the vaccines in Oxford, UK, and the US. “way too late,” many are
saying, to prevent the inevitable.

So why is is that, that nearly 40 years after Ebola first surfaced. The world finds itself
in a state of panic, and up to ten thousand people are dead, owing to a bug that’s
probably preventable thanks to scientific research done decades ago? The answer
is that Ebola was regarded as someone else’s problem. It was a tropical disease of
low importance and (presumed to be) constrained by geography and climate to a
part of the world that held little economic interest to rest of us. But there inlies a
salutary lesson: because if even a tiny fraction-less tthan 1%-of what the present
outbreak is now costing the world in terms of lost productivity. Humanitary in aid
and human lives lost had been spent 20 years ago to develop an Ebola vaccine, we
probably wouldt’n be in this position now. Its easy ti dismiss tropical desease as an
issue that won’t affect the West, but the present situation is a warming shot across
our bows that we ignore at our peril. (UTBK 2015)
4. How are the ideas in paragraph 1 and 2 related?
A. paragraph 1 and 2 highlight the horros of the Ebola outbreak.
B. Paragraph 1 contradics the explanation of Ebola in paragraph 2

Read the following text for question no 10 & 11
There are two crucial points on the topic of education and training of future
educational psychologists. They are: the space and context of the
school/educational psychologist’s performance; and the psychology undergraduate
course curriculum. On the first point, it is understood and defended that there is a
big difference between being an educational psychologist on the staff of a school,
and acting as a school psychologist in a private office outside the institution. Even
though the profession is defined by education (degree) and the purpose of the work
(responding to school’s demands), it is understood that the local/position in which
the professional stands makes a big difference in the role of its

actions. Consequently, different elements are required in the process of the

individual’s education/training, such as: knowledge about educational policies,
organization and laws; training to deal with institution dynamic and continued
education, etc.
On the second point, it is defended that the school environment and the whole
structure that delimits this space should be considered when choosing disciplines
and the method of knowledge construction for undergraduate curricula design,
thereby expanding the professional’s insight into other knowledge fields, such as
education and politics, among others. About the curriculum related to the
performance of educational psychologists outside (as consultants or autonomous
professionals) and inside the school (as part of the teacher/functionary board), a
discussion is proposed between the professional practice and the reflections
enabled by the application of the Network of Meanings concept, which may show,
among others, connections between elements. (UTBK 2018)
10. The passage is mainly concerned with…
A. psychological elements in education
B. important points of education and training
C. the work of educational psychologists
D. educational policies for psychologists
E. educational psychologists’ education and training
11. “Consequently, different elements are required in the process of the

individual’s education/training…”
The underlined word can be best replaced with…
A. as a result
B. therefore
C. on the other hand
D. meanwhile
E. moreover

Before engineers dreamed of eliminating drivers in cars, they imagined eliminating
the side mirrors. Now a long-sought solution looks closer to finally stripping cars of
side mirrors. Many automakers demonstrate video systems that replace the Mickey

Mouse ears with cameras. Continental, a major parts and systems supplier to
automakers, was one of them.
In a customized Mercedes-Benz CLS, Continental demonstrated how its system

would work. Thumb-size video cameras on the exterior of the car replace the side-
mounted mirrors and use interior screens on the left and right side of the dashboard
to deliver views of what is next to and behind the car. The screens are near where a
driver would normally look to check a mirror, and the camera views are wider than
what a physical mirror can provide, eliminating blind spots along the side of the car.
The cameras, which can automatically adjust to reduce glare from sunlight or
increase brightness at night, are also helpful in tight parking spots.
Technology suppliers hope that regulations requiring old-fashioned physical

mirrors will be amended. Philipp Hoffmann, BMW’s project manager for camera
monitor systems expected to begin road testing of the mirrorless systems in Europe
this year, quickly followed by additional testing in Asia. He remained hopeful that
the United States would follow soon.
He may have a good reason to be optimistic. Daimler AG, parent company of

Mercedes-Benz, is already testing a couple of autonomous tractor-trailers in Nevada
that use large high-definition screens instead of side mirrors. Also, BMW recently
received an exemption from the Transportation Department in the U.S. to allow it to
deploy an automatic parking feature that enables a BMW 7 Series car to park itself,
while the driver stands on the curb. It is a feature the company demonstrated only
a year ago.
Using cameras instead of physical mirrors could also end dangling damaged
mirrors. To replace a typical mirror can be expensive as much as $946 on a 2015
Acura RLX, according to the insurance institute. However, Mr. McConnell at
Continental noted potential savings in building cars that no longer need the
structural support for side-mounted mirrors. UTBK 2018

12. How is the last sentence of paragraph 3 related to paragraph 4?

A. the last sentence of paragraph 3 describes the regulation in implementing
the technology in the U.S. and the following paragraph elaborates it.
B. the sentence discusses the possibility for the technology to be implemented
in the U.S. and the following paragraph explains the reason for the
possibility.
C. the sentence states Philipp Hoffman’s idea about eliminating drivers in car
and the following paragraph elaborates the idea.
D. paragraph 4 provides an example to support the idea about the
implementation of Mercedes-Benz technology mentioned in the previous
sentence.
E. paragraph 4 explicates Continental’s sense of optimism provided in the last
sentence of paragraph 3
Read the following text for question no 13

The green movement is catching on in many pockets of the world. This is especially
true in the construction industry. Today’s buzzwords, which include global warming
and zero emission, are causing everyday people to look for ways to reduce their
carbon footprint. Purchasing environmentally-friendly property is a good
investment for those who are concerned about their own health and the well-being
of the earth. Based on this trend, entire districts, known as eco-communities, are
being designed with green initiatives in mind. Dockside Green in Victoria, British
Columbia, Canada is one of these communities. Its goal is to become the world’s first
zero-emissions neighborhood.
Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they
make. They ensure proper ventilation, and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor
air. Interior and exterior building materials, such as paints and wood, are natural
and non-toxic. Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it is
durable and does not require pesticides to grow.
Energy efficiency is one of the top priorities in eco-communities, such as Dockside

Green. Not only do energy-efficient appliances and light fixtures reduce the
environmental impact of heating and hot water, they also save residents and

business owners money. Dockside Green claims that homeowners will use 55% less
energy than average residents in Canada. Though they are sharing space by
investing in condo-style living, residents will have individual utility metres. Studies
show that people use approximately 20% less energy when they are billed for
exactly what they use. In addition, water is treated at Dockside Green and reused on
site for flushing toilets.
Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into
account. Dockside Green will reuse 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to
continue using local suppliers for all of their transport and maintenance needs. This
is a great way to reduce emissions. Dockside residents will be encouraged to make
use of a mini transit system and buy into the community’s car share program.
Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that will use renewable
biomass instead of fossil fuels. UTBK 2018
13. The false idea that the author may hold about Dockside Green is that…
A. it is where more natural living can exist.
B. it provides all eco-friendly properties.
C. it encourages all houses to utilize efficient energy.
D. it is a good asset to buy a property in it.
E. it reduces global warming and emissions.

Having known the benefit of seasonal detoxification, it is then important for us to
know how to do it. The best way to begin a spring cleanse, and to optimize results,
is to incorporate cleansing and alkalizing foods, nutrients, botanicals, and mind-
body healing practices into a gentle program. They also allow healing and
transformation to spring forth naturally.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophy, every season

correlates to different “elements” or organ systems in the body. For example, winter
correlates with the water element and the kidneys/bladder system. From a Western
naturopathic perspective, cold weather can put stress on your adrenal and thyroid

glands. As a result, the blood becomes more acidic and there is a buildup of lactic
acid. This can lead to sluggishness, muscle and joint pain, and arthritis.
Both Eastern and Western naturopathic medical systems agree that the transition
from winter to spring offers an ideal opportunity to shed extra weight. It is also a
good time to gently cleanse accumulated toxins from the body. This excess buildup
can be the result of numerous factors. The main causes include unhealthy diet, poor
digestion, lack of exercise, winter dehydration, normal metabolic processes, and
environmental pollution.
In TCM, spring corresponds to the liver and the gallbladder. A gentle spring cleanse
effectively supports the liver’s vital detoxification processes. It also eliminates
toxins stored in organs and tissues, helps shed excess weight, alkalizes the body, and
gets your circulation and energy moving. Digestion is improved and inflammation
is reduced. Moreover, blood sugar is balanced and immune functions better.
A cleansing diet is the most critical component of any detoxification program.

Animal protein, particularly red meat, should be minimized during a cleanse. It
emphasizes lighter, organic plant-based proteins that are easier for the body to
digest. Below are the critical components of a detox diet which can help improve
digestion and enhance detoxification, resulting in greater energy and vitality.
(UTBK 2018)
14. What is the best summary of the passage?
A. traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophy believes that seasonal
detoxification is a crucial practice for a holistic mind-body healing. This is
because every season correlates to our body differently. According to this
philosophy, our body is craving for a spring cleanse every year, and we
must listen to our body.
B. seasonal detoxification should be done during the transition from winter to
spring since it is the right time to get rid of toxins, shed extra weight and
alkalize the body. To do this, people should incorporate cleansing and
organic plant-based diet and combine them with mind-body healing
practices.

C. to obtain the best outcome for health, a detoxification program can only be
done during winter of spring for three days up to three weeks. An effective
way to do this is by combining cleansing and alkaline foods with light
exercises.
D. to achieve the best result, a detoxification program needs to be done in
between April and May. To do this, people need to combine cleansing with
an alkaline-based diet that relies heavily on organic foods.
E. cleansing and alkalizing foods, nutrients, botanical and mind-body healing
practices are the foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine. To
incorporate a TCM philosophy, every person must do a fast cleansing
program in the spring.
15. About seasonal detoxification, which topic does the paragraph preceding the
passage most likely discuss?
A. its process
B. its side effect
C. its origin
D. its definition
E. its advantage

penyakit jika itu berpengaruh pada mereka).
Jawaban : A
7. Pembahasan: Kalimat mana yang paling efektif menggambarkan meratanya

Perhatikan pada paragraph terakhir: “So why is it that, nearly 40 years after
Ebola first surfaced, the world finds itself in a state of panic, and up to ten

thousand people are dead, owing to a bug that’s probably preventable thanks to
scientific research done decades ago? The answer is that Ebola was regarded as
someone else’s problem. It was a tropical disease of low importance and
(presumed to be) constrained by geography and climate to a part of the world
that held little economic interest to the rest of us. But there in lies a salutary
lesson: because if even a tiny fraction – less than 1% - of what the present
outbreak is now costing the world in terms of lost productivity, humanitarian aid
and human lives lost had been spent 20 years ago to develop an Ebola vaccine,
we probably woldn’t be in this position now. It’s easy to dismiss tropical diseases
as an issue that won’t affect the west, but the present situation is a warming shot
across our bows that we ignore at our peril.
Maksud kalimat yang dicetak tebal adalah hamper 40 tahun setelah Ebola
pertama kali muncul, dunia dalam keadaan panik, korban tewas hingga sepuluh
ribu orang. Pernyataan pada kalimat tersebut sangat efektif karena menyebutkan
data korban yang terinfeksi.
Jawaban : D
8. Pembahasan: Paragraf 3 menyiratkan bahwa, perhatikan kalimat “Trials are

only now getting underway of human versions of the vaccines in Oxford, UK and
the US. “Way too late”, many are saying, to prevent the inevitable yang berarti uji

vaccines should have been tested on humans much earlier” (vaksin Ebola
seharusnya diuji pada manusia jauh lebih awal.
Jawaban : B
9. Pembahasan: Peryataan berikut mana yang paling tepat menyatakan ide

paragraph 4?
Salah satu ide pokok pada paragraph 4 : “ what the present outbreak is now
costing the world in terms of lost productivity, humanitarian aid and human lives
lost had been spent 20 years ago to develop an Ebola vaccine, we probably
wouldn’t be in this position now”. Maksud kalimat tersebut adalah akan lebih
baik jika vaksin Ebola sudah ada lebih awal maka Ebola dapat segera
ditanggulangi)

Jawaban : E
10. Pembahasan: Paragraf tersebut membahas mengenai dua poin penting dalam
pendidikan dan pelatihan psikolog pendidikan di masa yang akan datang.
Paragraf pertama membahas mengenai kinerja psikolog pendidikan terkait
ruang dan konteks, yakni bekerja di sekolah atau bekerja sebagai profesional di
luar sekolah atau institusi pendidikan.
Paragraf kedua membahas mengenai desain kurikulum sarjana psikologi yang
seharusnya mempertimbangkan batasan-batasan yang muncul dari bekerja di
lingkungan sekolah.
Jadi, teks tersebut membahas mengenai pendidikan dan pelatihan psikolog
pendidikan (educational psychologists’ education and training).
Jawaban: B
11. Pembahasan: consequently adalah salah satu conjuction (kata sambung) yang
digunakan utuk menghubungkan dua buah kalimat. Mari perhatikan pengertian
dari pilihan jawaban
a. as a result berarti sebagai akibat, b. therefore: oleh karena itu. C. on the
otherhand: disamping itu, d. meanwhile: sementara itu, e. moreover: lebih
dari itu…
Maka jawabanyang palling tepat adalah as a result
Jawaban A
12. Pembahasan: Kalimat terakhir paragraf ke-3 membahas mengenai harapan

Philipp Hoffman, selaku manajer BMW, agar sistem tanpa kaca spion ini bisa diuji
coba di Amerika Serikat.
Paragraf ke-4 menunjukkan alasan-alasan mengapa Hoffman dapat bersikap
optimis akan harapannya tersebut. Salah satu alasan itu adalah perusahaan
induk Mercedes-Benz, yakni Daimler AG telah menguji truk trailer yang
menggunakan layar – bukan spion – di Nevada, Amerika Serikat.
Jadi, hubungan kalimat terakhir paragraf ke-3 dengan paragraf ke-4 adalah the
sentence discusses the possibility for the technology to be implemented in the U.S.
and the following paragraph explain the reasons for the possibility (kalimat ini
membahas mengenai kemungkinan teknologi tersebut digunakan di Amerika

Serikat, dan paragraf selanjutnya menjelaskan alasan-alasan terjadinya

kemungkinan tersebut).
Jawaban: A
13. Pembahasan: Teks tersebut menjabarkan mengenai Dockside Green, yakni

sebuah kawasan hunian yang ramah lingkungan. Kawasan ini didesain agar tidak
menghasilkan zat buang (emisi) ke lingkungan. Desain bangunannya pun ramah
lingkungan menggunakan material alami seperti bambu dan bahan bangunan
yang tidak beracun (paragraf ke-2).
Penulis juga menyebutkan bahwa properti ramah lingkungan adalah investasi
properti yang baik terutama untuk mereka yang peduli akan kesehatan
lingkungan dan dirinya (paragraf ke-1). Oleh karenanya, bisa disimpulkan bahwa
properti di Dockside Green adalah aset yang baik.
Sistem permukiman di Dockside Green, di mana setiap penghuni memiliki
pencatat penggunaan energi individu akan mendorong penghuni lebih hemat
dalam menggunakan energi (paragraf ke-3). Kawasan hunian ini juga akan
menggunakan kembali 90% limbah konstruksinya sehingga menurunkan jumlah
emisi ke lingkungan (paragraf ke-4).
Jadi, kesalahpahaman yang mungkin timbul dari penjabaran mengenai Dockside
Green adalah lokasi tersebut merupakan tempat di mana lebih banyak kehidupan
alami dapat terwujud (it is where more natural livings can exist).
Padahal, berdasarkan penjabaran di atas, Dockside Green adalah kawasan
permukiman yang didesain ramah lingkungan dengan model kondominium
(paragraf ke-4).
Jawaban: B
14. Pembahasan: Teks tersebut menjabarkan mengenai bagaimana cara

melakukan detoksifikasi berdasarkan musim, terutama detoksifikasi musim
semi. Pada paragraf ke-3 disebutkan bahwa waktu paling tepat untuk
melaksanakan detoksifikasi musim semi adalah pada fase pergantian musim dari
musim dingin ke musim semi.

Detoksifikasi musim semi seperti disebutkan di paragraf ke-4 dapat membantu

menurunkan berat badan berlebih, membuat tubuh lebih bersifat alkali atau
basa, dan lebih melancarkan peredaran darah serta energi.
Untuk melakukan detoksifikasi ini berdasarkan paragraf ke-5, asupan makanan
harus lebih diperhatikan, yakni lebih memilih protein nabati. Selain itu,
berdasarkan paragraf ke-1, detoksifikasi bukan hanya mengenai mengubah
ragam makanan, melainkan juga melakukan praktik penyembuhan pikiran dan
tubuh (mind-body healing practices).
Jadi, berdasarkan penjelasan tersebut, kesimpulan terbaik akan teks ini
dinyatakan pada opsi pilihan jawaban yaitu Seasonal detoxification should be
done during the transition from winter to spring since it is the right time to get rid
of toxins, shed extra weight and alkalize the body. To do this, people should
incorporate cleansing and organic plant-based diet and combine them with mind-
body healing practices.
Atau dalam bahasa Indonesia-nya, detoksifikasi berdasarkan musim harus
dilaksanakan pada masa pergantian musim dingin ke musim semi karena pada
waktu tersebut adalah waktu yang tepat untuk menyingkirkan racun, membuang
kelebihan berat badan, dan membasakan tubuh. Untuk melakukan hal ini,
masyarakat harus menggabungkan antara detoksifikasi dengan makanan berasal
dari tumbuhan serta mengombinasikan keduanya dengan praktik penyembuhan
pikiran dan tubuh.
Jawaban: E
15. Pembahasan: Kalimat pertama di paragraf ke-1 berbunyi, “Having known

the benefit of seasonal detoxification, …” (setelah mengetahui keuntungan dari
detoksifikasi berdasarkan musim,…).
Jadi, berdasarkan kutipan paragraf ini, maka paragraf yang mendahului teks
tersebut pasti membahas mengenai keuntungan detoksifikasi (its advantage).
16. Pembahasan : Soal di atas menanyakan tentang ide utama dari bacaan
keseluruhan. Kita harus memahami isi dari teks tersebut untuk menjawab
pertanyaan tersebut. Dalam teks di atas, terdapat berbagai macam poin yang
menjelaskan mengenai aturan yang dapat kita lakukan ketika mengendarai

skuter listrik. Jawaabn yang benar adalah B. The rules of riding an e-scooter
safely
Jawaban B
17. Pembahasan: Soal yang menanyakan pemahaman hubungan antara ide dalam
kalimat mejemuk membutuhkan pengetahuan yang mumpuni tentang kata
hubung atau conjunction. Kalimat di atas bermakna” skuter elektrik, juga kapak,
bisa berbahaya ketika digunakan dengan tidak sesuai/benar. Sedangkan pilihan
A berarti Jika, pilhan B: bahkan seandainya, C: jika tidak, D: meskipun, E: namun.
Clue yang diberikan adalah”…they are used properly, electric scooters are
dangerous yang artinya skuter elektrik akan berbahaya jika diguankan denga
tidak tepat. Maka jawaban yang benar adalah C: unless
Jawaban : C
18. Pembahasan: Soal di atas menanyakan tentang informasi rinci yang terdapat di
paragraph 4. Secara rinci jawaban soal tersebut dapat diambil dari kalimat Do
not listen to the music while riding your e-scooter because you have to alert with
your surruondings. You may not be able to hear cars, honks, or sirens if you are
only focus on your music. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa seseorang tidak
boleh mendengarkan music karena bisa saja tidak waspada dengan suara-suara
di sekitranya. Dengan demikian, jawaban yang paling tepat adalah B, Because you
cannot hear other sounds.
Jawaban B
19. Pembahasan: With the average earnings of college graduates at a level is twice

now the clearest (1)…into the middle class.
Maksud paragraph 1 diatas adalah bahwa pendapatan lulusan perguruan tinggi
dua kali lebih besar dari pada lulusan SMA. Maka lulusan Pendidikan tinggi

Agroecologist do not always agree about what agroecology is or should be in the
long term. Different definition of the term agroecology can be distinguished largely

by the specificity with which one difines the term’s potential political connotations.
Definitions of agroecology, therefore may be first grouped according to the specific
contexts within which they situate agriculture. Agroecology is defined as “the study
of the relation of agricultural crops and environment.”This definition refers to “-
ecology” part of “agroecology” narrowly as the natural environment. Following this
definition an agroecologist would study agriculture’s various relationships with soil
health, water quality, meso-and -micro-fauna, surrounding flora, environmental
toxins, and othet environmental contexts.
A more common definition of the word can be taken from Dalgaard et al, who refer
to agroecology as the sudy of the interactions between plants, animals, humans, and
the environment within agricultural systems. Consequently, agroecology is
inherently multidisciplinary, including factors from agroeconomy, ecology,
sociology, economics, and related disciplines. In this case, the “-ecology” include
social, cultural, and economic contexts as well.
In the global south, the term often carries overtly political connotations. Such
political definitions of the term usually ascribe to it the goals of social and economic
justice; special attention, in this case, is often paid to the traditional farming
knowledge of indigenous populations. Notrsh Amerian and European uses of the
term sometimes avoid of the inclusion of such overtly political goals. In there,
agroecology is seen more strictly as a scientific discipline with less specific social
goals. (www.docstoc.com) (UTBK 2013)

The development of technology has changed many things in workplaces. No, we can
see many industries entrust their operations to certain gadgets, softwaren and
programs in order to make it more efficient. One of technologies that might
transform workplaces in the future is RPA (Robotic Process automation). This
technology can handle various repetitive tasks that usually dealt in clerical work by
administrative staff. By embracing the new technology, companies can lower their
cost in human resources and increase productivity in their workplaces.
The use of certain technologies in workplaces increases the concern of

unemployment. Some companies will only be interested in increasing their profit by

reducing the cost in human resource sector and it will gradually make people
become unemplyed. However, such changing in administrative and clerival jobs also
has positive impact. Even though dmand on average office workers decreases, there
is an increase in demand of workers in creative work, amagerial duties, and
communication with business parties, such as clients and suppliers.
With the unavoidable changing, workers have to develop their skills in order to
adapt new era. Some basic data skills might not be useful for the future since it can
be handled by technology. Now, many of them are expected to acquire problem-
solving and critical thinking skills that will help them handling any difficult
situations and finding solutions for every problem.
Being adaptable and agile are important to be able to survive in this complex,
uncertain, and volatile world. The successful workers are people who can combine
flexibility, willingness to learn, and initiative in order to seek out opportunities, take
new challenges, and improve themselves to be better.
By preparing the future generations of workers with variousbusiness skills, we

already provide them with survival skills to become better employees and they
would not feel unprepared when automation takes over.

Panic attack is a sudden feeling of terros. Usually it does not last long, but it manny
feel like forever. The cause can be something as normal as driving over a bridge or

The following text for question 13-16

Light pollution is the change of natural light levels in the night environment
produced by introduction of artificial light. Because of the continuous growth of the
nighttime artificial lighting, this problem is increasingly debated. In fact, many
localities have develoved regulations to restrict the wasteful loss of light into the
sky and environment.
The expanding use of light at night is because humans are diurnal animals. They are
trying to extend activities into the usually dark hours. This increasing use is driven
by what seems common sense, and by the lighting industry with justifications that
at first may seem correct. With few exceptions, everything we build is lit at night.
This includes street, roads, bridges, airports, commercial, and industrial building,
parking lots, sport centers and homes. Outdoor lighting continues to expend as more
infrastructure are built. Lighting levels in public areas are often set high with one
more secondary objectives in mind. For instance, building exteriors are often lit for
a merely beautiful effect. Shopping centers are typically lit to attract shoppers. They
also create a lively environment to stimulate spending. Lighting levels in public
areas often set high to prevent crime, even though studies have not proven this to
have any effect on crime rates. Indeed, the cores of our urban centers are bathed in
light. The resulting light pollution can extend more than a hundred kilometers out
from the city's edge.
Reliable evidence shows that this artificial of the day produce serious and risky
consequences to human health and environment. Ciszano, Falchi and Elvidge (2001)
have studied the impact of light pollution on the night sky. The result indicates that
more than 60% of world population live under light polluted skies (99% of the
population of USA and Europe) and almost one-fifth of world terrain is under light
polluted skies. In regards to human, there are no doubts that exposure to light at
night (LAN) decreases pineal melatonin (a kind of hormone) production and
secretion and are not only a source for phase shift in daily rhythms. (UTBK 2017)

13. Which of the following best restates the sentence "... humans are diurnal
animals" in line 4?
A. Humans are day light active creature
B. Humans require light to live like animals
C. Humans and animals equally need light to live
D. Both humans and animals are active during the day
E. Humans and animals try to prolog their activities at night
14. The author introduces the problems of light pollution followed by ...
A. Research evidence indicating the danger of light pollution on human health
B. Further explanation about why and how people use more light
C. More examples of light and causes that might
D. The use of regulation to minimize the effect of light
E. Details on areas requiring light for business
15. What does the author imply in the second paragraph?

A. Providing light could increase economic activities
B. Both humans and animals rely on light for survival
C. Using more light may mean increasing light pollution
D. Light should be provided according to people's needs
E. Building unfrastructure in mainly used for public facilities

The application, games, and websites that are promoted as 'educational' are not
always the best ones for supporting learning. The fact that they are interactive does
not necessarily mean that they are much better than an old-fashioned workbook
with its right and wrong answers. Children may enjoy these products for a while but

then get a bit bored, and we now know that they are not the most appropriate or
engaging way to learn.
Treat so-called 'free' application with caution. Some will expose your child to
advertisiment. Others are designed to wait until your child is engaged in a game or
storyline and then demand payment before they can go any further. This can lead to
frustration as young children do not understand why they can not continue.
Sometimes it is better to make a small payment in advance if the application
promises no further purchases. However, some applications are free to download
and completely free of advertisement or in-app purchases.
Choosing an app needs the same kind of thought and care you would put into buying
anything else for your child. Do not rely only on the star rating. Instead, read the
user reviews and check the privacy policy if you are worried about the personal
information that the app might be collecting. If you want your child to enjoy
learning, to develop curiosity, and think about things creatively, provide them with
a range of games and apps. Open-ended games have become progressively more
challenging and encourage children to explore and have fun. They are, therefore,
more likely to establish a love of learning and to lay the foundation for their future
development.
Physical activity, reading, and other more 'traditional' activities continue to play a
very important part in children's development. But, most parents do rely on screen
devices from time to time to engage their child while they are busy with something
else. This is not a problem in itself, just as long as children's time is made up of
balanced range of activities. (UTBK 2017)

D. Sentence 6 is the implementation of the theory discussed in paragraph 2
E. Sentence 6 provides another type of free applications discussed in
paragraph 2
19. The author would apparently agree that

A. Open-ended games can stimulate children's love for learning
B. Some games and applications are boring because they are too easy
C. There is no convincing prediction for the future of the games and apps
D. It is better to pay for games in advance so that children can learn freely
E. Apps star rating provides users with reviews on the good things of games
and apps
20. Regarding busy parents reliance on screen device to help keep their children
entertained, the author assumes that ..
A. It is the parents responsibility to make their children less engaged with
screen devices
B. Children whose parents are busy with their activities must usescreen
devices less
C. Parent need to be aware of their children's need for varied activities

right proportion of the other activities

The second advantage of herbal medicine is the absence of long term effect.
Repeated and long-term use of herbal remedies does no result in long-term effects
on the body. Certain pharmaceutical drugs like paracetamol when used for long
periods results in permanent body damage and long-term ill effect. Herbal remedies
on the other hand are not harmful to the body in the long-term. One can use most
herbal remedies repeatedly and regularly without any worries.
Another benefit of using herbal remedies is that they are completely natural. They
do not have chemical composition or drugs. Due to their natural nature they can be

Furthermore, herbal remedies have multipurpose benefits. For instance, ginger is

usually used as an herbal remedy for colds and digestive disorders, but one can also
use it in their tea, beverages, and daily home cooked food for flavoring. Similarly,
herbal extracts for peppermint can not only add spice and flavor to your kitchen
recipe, but can also be used as anti-depressant.
Herbal remedies are absolutely inexpensive and sometimes even absolutely free of
cost. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, herbal remedies have no manufacturing costs,
making them far cheeper. Some herbal remedies like ginseng, peppermint and
ginger can even be grown in your backyard.
Herbal remedies are easily accessible. Certain herbal remedies like ginger,
peppermint and basil leaves can be acquired anywhere in the world. One can even
visit any local drug store and purchase herbal remedies without any trouble.
Besides this you can even grow some of the remedies in your garden.

ages. Children, adults and even elderly people can resort to herbal remedies to get
rid of their ailment.

Read the following text for question 10-14

Fresh water is one of the most important resources for human beings. The increase
of population has caused problems for the availability of this resource, especially in
dry regions. Supplying fresh water becomes an important task to do since all living
creatures depend on it. Meanwhile, the Earth surface mostly consists of water, yet
ocean water, which has the biggest percentage, cannot be used for humnas’ daily
activities. Desalination process becomes an important key to fulfill fresh water
needs.
Desalination process can be conducted using solar-powered desalination unit. This

unit works using solar power, directly or indirectly, by changing salt water to
drinking water. The work of the unit is similar with natural rainfall process. The
direct solar desalination unit, or usually called solar still, works really simple and is
similar with condensation trap. The Sun heats the salt water into gas (water
vapour). Then, the water vapour is collected in the inside lid abd condenses back as
fresh water in different container. This unit does not produce a lot of water per day
because the amount of produced water is proportional with the surface for the unit.
Weather conditions and the intensity of solar power become challenges for this unit
since it depends much on the solar power.
Direct solar-powered destination unit is indeed good for water purification, yet the
output is not enough for mass operation. Therefore, the implementation of idirect
solar-powered desalination method is useful to increase the amount of fresh water.
This method merges two different technologies, a solar energy collection system
(using various methods, such as multistage flsh (MSF)distillation, multiple effect
evaporation (MEE) or reserve osmosis (RO)).
Using solar-powered desalination unit is better than using fossil-fuels energy sinceit
is more environmentally-friendly. Since the increase of fresh water demands and
the development of solar technology, solar-powered desalination unit might be one
of the best alternatives in order to maintain the availability of fresh water for all
living creatures

Mobile phones have been part of our lives. They are used by many people, from
children to elderly people. Everyone seems to have their own mobile phones.
Nowadays, there are many activities that people do without mobile phones, from
playing video games to browsing latest information by using internet connection.
Despite of its various functions, we might wonder how often people actually use
their mobile phones to talk to each other, like it is used to be in the past.
The massive use of mobile phones and its intensity of influencing people’s lives
cause a new type of disease called Nomophobia (No Mobile Phone Phobia). Some
signs of nomophobia are fear of finding your mobile phone not working and fear of
losing your mobile phone or forgetting it somewhere. The disease become more
common now since many people are already diagnosed with this issue and more
people suffer from disease without realizing it. Scientists predict that two third of
world population is prone to this problem.
Many people depends on their lives on gadgets, including mobile phones. They do
not realize that a mobile phones is a tool that had been initially invented to make
their lives easy and simple, not more complicated and harm them. Mobile phone
addcition is dangerous since it forces people to become dependent on advance
technology and it distracts them for living their life fully. Instead of going out and
meeting people, many people send text messages, do video calls, and say “hi”
through social media platforms on their brand new mobile phones. It shows that
people build their live around technology instead of real connection.
It leads us to the questions” What should we do now?”. I believe reducing time of

using mobile phones for at least by half, for starters, will be great. We can also ask
ourselves how many hours per day we use for mobile phones and whether it brings
positive impacts or not. When we do reflection to ourselves and learn from others,
we might realize that mobile phones and learn from others, we might realize that

mobile phone seems like a malady. However, they are just a small device, a
convenience tool, that we need to be able to control, it will not be able to control us.
