Angkor Wat (Khmer: or "Capital Temple") is a temple complex
in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world, on a site measuring 162.6
hectares (1,626,000 m2; 402 acres).[1] It was originally constructed as a Hindu temple of
god Vishnu for the Khmer Empire, gradually transforming into a Buddhist temple towards
the end of the 12th century.[2] It was built by the KhmerKing Suryavarman II in the early
12th century in Yaśodharapura. Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple
architecture: the temple-mountain and the later galleried temple. It is designed to
represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology: within a moat and an outer
wall 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) long are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the
next. At the centre of the temple stands a quincunx of towers. Unlike most Angkorian
temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of
this. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its
extensive bas-reliefs, and for the numerous devatas adorning its walls.

A. Indonesian Maid in HK Court after Having Sex
About 500 ancient masks from many regions across Indonesia are being
displayed at the Sonobudoyo Museum in Yogyakarta from Nov. 20 to 29.
The event, called The Power of Topeng (The Power of the Mask), presents 400
masks that are simulacrums of statues from all over the country and the other masks
that are from the collection of the Sonobudoyo Museum.
The curator of the event, I Wayan Dana, said that based on Indonesian history,
masks not only functioned as works of art, but also as instruments of religious rituals.
“The two functions strengthen the mask's position as having strong roots in
Indonesian cultures,” he said when speaking at the event's opening ceremony on
Thursday night.
In religious rituals, he said, masks were used as instruments to communicate
with supernatural powers, while their shapes were adjusted to the traditions in each
era. He added that the masks also developed side by side with the changes of
kingdoms in this archipelago.
Van Heekeren, the author of Prehistoric Life of Indonesia, published in 1955,
noted that masks had been parts of Indonesian prehistory thousands of years ago. The
Mask of Panji, which developed during the Majapahit Kingdom, for example, told a love
story in the era.
Other examples are the Ramayana Mask, which was developed during the
Indonesian Hindu kingdoms, and the Ngayogyakarta Palace Mask that was made
during the era of Hamengkubuwono VII.
The head of Yogyakarta Culture Agency, Umat Priyono, expressed his
appreciation to the organizers of the event with the hope that it would widen people’s
understanding of the development of masks as a cultural product in Indonesia.

a. They are used as a means of communication.
b. They represent the changes of kingdoms in the era.

communication

A. My Grandpa’s Funeral in Toraja
Last month my family and I went to Toraja to attend Grandpa’s funeral. It was my
first time to go to such a ceremony. We gathered there with our kin in the ceremony.
Overall, the ceremony was quite elaborate. It took about a week. Several days

buffaloes, and then moved the corpse to face north. In this ceremony we wore black

brought up to the mountain side family graveyard. It was followed by great shouting and

Example of Explanation Text
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
44
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

1. What does the text tell us about?
a. What calving is d. How icebergs exist
b. What glaciers cover e. How iceberg is defined
c. How far glaciers cover

b. to give readers the information of Iceberg
c. to tell about the area covered with huge Icebergs
d. to explain the process of iceberg as a natural phenomenon
e. to retell natural events for the purpose of informing or entertaining

Latihan soal Explanation

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. 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 the largest animal
ever to live. It grows to a length of over 100 feet. The humpback 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 Artic 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 all of them eat other fish.
Deep down in the oceans live many strange fish. It is so dark down there that many of
these fish have “light” on them, which are used for attracting smaller fish for the larger
ones to eat.
45
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 sandy beaches.
Question:
Choose one of the following statements which is correct based on the text above.
A. Jellyfish being sea creatures are food for other animals.
B. All sharks being felonious hunters in ocean live on plankton.
C. Millions of creatures living on land as turtles and sharks eat plankton.
D. The fish having light on them will make use of the deep ocean to hunt their prey at
night.
E. The plants and animals floating on the surface of ocean provide food for other
creatures to save themselves.

an ocean.
Tsunamis race across the sea at up to 500 miles (805 kilometres) an
hour — about as fast as a jet airplane. At that pace they can cross
the entire expanse of the Pacific Ocean in less than a day. And their
long wavelengths mean they lose very little energy along the way.
A tsunami’s trough, the low point beneath the wave’s crest, often
reaches shore first. When it does, it produces a vacuum effect that
sucks coastal water seaward and exposes harbour and sea floors.
This retreating of sea water is an important warning sign of a
tsunami, because the wave’s crest and its enormous volume of water
typically hit shore five minutes or so later. Recognizing this
phenomenon can save lives.
A tsunami is usually composed of a series of waves, called a wave
train, so its destructive force may be compounded as successive
waves reach shore. People experiencing a tsunami should
remember that the danger may not have passed with the first wave
and should await official word that it is safe to return to vulnerable
locations.

A. Is Smoking Good for Us?
Before we are going to smoke, it is better to look at the fact. About 50 thousand
people die every year in Britain as direct result of smoking. This is seven times as
many as die in road accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of diseases
caused by smoking.
Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five
cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non smoker.
If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen greater. Ninety five percent
of people who suffer of bronchitis are people who are smoking. Smokers are two and
half times more likely to die of heart disease than nonsmokers.
Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis and
pneumonia. In one hour in smoky room, nonsmoker breathes as much as substance
causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen cigarettes.
Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much
money from smoking habit. Smoking however is not good for everybody else.

LATIHAN SOAL ANALYTICAL EXPOSITION
Do you agree that music is important in our life? Yes I do, music has certain role
completing our day to day activities. Here are some reasons why music is heard
everywhere and anywhere.
Music is a way to express feelings. When we fall in love, the kind of music we’d listen to
would be all about love. When we’re sad, we would go for music that is melancholic in
nature and immerse ourselves in the sadness. When we’re happy, we’d choose songs with
happy tunes too.
Song can help to memorize the last experiences. A favorite song is a powerful
documentary. People with Alzheimer which are impaired the brain would remember details
about songs they were familiar with. For example, an elderly woman who couldn’t even
remember her husband’s name would remember the details of her favorite song; when it
was played, how it made her feel and things about the song that made it especially
memorable for her.
Further, music can unite people for a cause and changes the world. A song with good lyric
and striking deep chord can stimulate the universal feeling of all people. We can see it in
the case of the famous and legendary Michael Jacson’s Heal the World. It can arouse
humanism of a lot people in this world.
So what would the world be like without music? It would be lonely.

The indiscriminate hunting of endangered houbara bustard tentang topik yg hangat

nations have pushed the species toward extinction. The dapat menentukan
hunting was initially banned by the Pakistani courts, but pernyataan yang tepat
under continuous pressure from the provincial governments terkait dengan topiknya
of Sind, Baluchistan, and Punjab, as well as the federal
government, recently the courts lifted the ban on the hunting
of this vulnerable species.
Some people in Pakistan have been advocating for

sustainable hunting of the species instead of a complete
ban, but this is highly debatable. Reckless hunting for
decades has pushed this beautiful species toward extinction
and it is now critically endangered in Pakistan.
No reliable or credible statistics on the population dynamics

of the species are available either. Unless specially
protected by law, the species runs the risk of becoming
extinct in the wild in the next few decades.
Under these circumstances, the only logical approach to

save the species from extinction in the not-so-distant future
is to immediately start comprehensive captive breeding
program for the species across the nation.
If the captive breeding program runs successfully and

produces an appreciable number of chicks, then
reintroduction programs could be initiated in their wild
habitats.
Only after rebuilding the population for some time in the wild
and allowing them to breed naturally to reach a sustainable
population could some restricted hunting be planned.
Currently, the low numbers have made this species
vulnerable and with zero or poor monitoring, sustainable
51
hunting practices in Pakistan for this dwindling species will
not work.
Game hunting works only when a stable population is

achieved with strict monitoring on the ratio of males to
females hunted per season. If the females (no true statistics
available) are being taken out of the population through
random hunting, the population is sure to pass through a
bottleneck in the wild habitat, with high vulnerability to
eventual extinction.
The people of Pakistan need to decide what is more
important-a few petrodollars or protecting the biodiversity of
the nation.

Contoh Review Text
Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix

Pengenalan / I absolutely love the Harry Potter series, and all of the books will
Orientasi always hold a special place in my heart.
Evaluasi 1 I have to say that of all of the books, however, this was not my
favorite.
Evaluasi 2 When the series began it was as much of a "feel good" experience as
a huge mug of hot cocoa. The stories were bright, fast-paced,
intriguing, and ultimately satisfying.
Tafsiran Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of book. In some instances
(Interpretative this works...you feel a whole new level of intensity and excitement by
recount) the time you get to the end. I was truly moved by the last page. Other
times the book just has a slightly dreary, depressing feel. The
galloping pace of the other books has slowed to a trot here, and parts
of it do seem long, as if we're reading all about Harry "just hanging
out" instead of having his usual adventures. Reading in detail about
Harry cleaning up an old house, for example - housekeeping is still
housekeeping, magical or no, and I'm not very interested in doing it
or reading about other people doing it.
A few other changes in this book - the "real" world comes much
more in to play rather than the fantasy universe of the previous
books, and Harry has apparently been taken off his meds. I know that
he had a lot to be grumpy in this book, especially with being a
teenager and all, but the sudden change in his character seemed too
drastic. He goes from being a warm-hearted, considerate person to
someone who will bite his best friend's heads off over nothing. It just
seemed like it didn't fit with his character, like he turned into a walking
cliché of the "angry teen" overnight.
Rangkuman The "real" story seemed to happen in the last 1/3 of the book, and
this part I loved. I actually liked the ending (and yes, I cried!) as sad
as it was. It packed a punch and it made me care about the story
even more. Still a really good book, with some editing it would have
been great.
Reading the three plots of Marry Higgins Clark in All Through the Night concern a
stolen gold ornamental cup, a missing baby, and a will which seems to be deceitful. To
solve the mystery, she revives her beloved characters; Alvirah, the former cleaning
woman; and Willy Meeham, the plumber who won the lottery. They left their life in Jackson
Heights, Queens, for an apartment on Central Park. The two have fun along the way
solving the puzzle.
The pace is swift and the story is pure escape - totally fun Mary Higgins Clark. I
admit, however, that l am still trying to know what melody of the song "All Through the
Night" sounds like.

A. Example of Discussion Text on Nuclear Power
The government has just published a report which suggest that television is partly
responsible for the serious increase in crime over the last ten years. The exposure of
violence or pornography harmfully effects on children.
Many people who are alive today know what it is like to live in a world without
television. Television as we know is only about forty years old. Yet it is so much a part of
our lives that it seems as if it had always existed.
Some people think that the years before the invention of television were a better
time. They claim that families talked more and did more things together. More books were
read. People used their imaginations more fully. People got more outdoor exercises.
But others disagree. They claim that television is a powerful educational tool. It
informs us of what is going on in the world, from a famine in Africa to a local politics and
fashion. It helps us understand how people live, work, and struggle.
In 1961, Newton Minow, a government official, called prime-time schedules “ a vast
wasteland.” Television is credited with being a great teacher, but it is also blamed for the
poor reading and writing skills of our population. Television gets praised for helping us
understand the people of the world. But it has been accused of helping to destroy family
life. Television keeps us informed about the political issues of the day.
Experts will probably continue to argue about television’s value. But everyone agrees
that it is one of the most significant inventions of the twentieth century.

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
You have to consider a number of factors when deciding whether or not to get a
job. The important thing is to arm yourself with as much information as possible, so you
can figure out what choice makes the most sense for you.
If you are considering working part-time, schedule a meeting with your school
counselor to discuss this move. Talk to your counselor about why you want to work and
what type of position you’re seeking. Simply explaining your goals to someone else can
help you make decisions and figure out your priorities.
Schoolwork, including homework and studying for tests, should always be your
top priority. “The activities and courses students choose vary considerably, so it’s
important for young people to keep their individual situations clearly in mind,” says Brad
McGowan, director of the Career Centre at Newton North High School in Massachusetts.
Further, McGowan cautions students who do decide to work: “If you are rushing through
your assignment or not studying enough for tests because of work, it’s time to cut back or
quit and find a less time-consuming job.” He adds, “Students should always let their
employers know what their time limits are.” If you are being pressured to work more hours
than you can handle, you need to find a new place to work. You also need to make sure
that a job won’t prevent you from getting enough rest.

THE PELICAN REPORT
General The white pelican is one of the most successful fish-eating
Clasification birds.
Description The success is largely due to its command hunting behaviour.
A group, perhaps two dozen birds, will gather in a curved arc some
distance offshore. The birds then begin to move forward towards the
shore, beating the water furiously with their wings, driving the fish
before them.
When the water is shallow enough for the birds to reach the
fish, the formation breaks up as each bird dips its bill into the water to
scoop up its meal. As the bird lifts its head, the water drains from its
bill leaving the fish which are then swallowed.
Pelicans are among the oldest group of birds, Fossils of this
genus have been found dating back 40 million years.

In total, the plant has need of at least 16 elements, of which the most important are
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, calcium, and
magnesium.
The plan obtains carbon and hydrogen dioxide from the atmosphere; other nutrients are
taken up from the soil. Although the plant contains sodium, iodine, and cobalt, these are
apparently not essential. This is also true of silicon and alumunium.
Overall chemical analyses indicate that the total supply of nutrients in soils is
usually high in comparison with the requirements of crop plants. Much of this potential
supply, however, is bound tightly in forms that are not released to crops fast enough to
give satisfactory growth. Because of this, the farmer is interested in measuring the
available nutrient supply as contrasted to the total quantities

Text for question 12 - 14
Dear, Rosa
I am a guy, twenty-eight years old. I have a problem with a girl friend. She is twenty five
years old. We have been dating each other for years, since we were high school students.
Now we have jobs. I feel very sure that we love each other. Now it is time for me to get
married. Unfortunately, her parents never approve of our relationship ever since the very
first time. My family, anyhow, does not really mind. At first I thought my girl friend had the
power to defend our love. But then she surrendered. She loves, me and she loves her
family, too. On the one hand she said, "I'll be happy if my family is happy." It means she
had to get approval from her parents.
For this I was shocked. My heart was broken. She ended our relationship just at the time
when I was ready to marry her. When I was with her, we were very happy. We had a lot in
common and there were no conflicts. The truth was, we separated only because of her
parents. They want her to marry her cousin, her aunt's son (this is one of the traditions in
the Karonese).
For the time being I am very upset. When I miss her I call her. Then we can eat together,
talk together for hours. We act like elating because she loves me, too. The real problem is,
she cannot refuse what her parents want. So, should I forget my girl friend, the only one
that I truly love? Or else, should I just wait, and dream that one day she will be back to
me?
Rio N., Padang
Dear Rio,
You call her your girl friend, but she has chosen her own way. For this reason I’d, say that
there is nothing you can do except forget her and go on with your normal life. Hopefully
you can find another and livehappily forever.
Rossa

After we finished the semester examination, the students of our school had a trip to
Parang Tritis beach. The students consisted of 20 males and 20 females. All of them were
from Solo.
The trip was held on Sunday, December 13, 2013. We started from Solo at 08.00
o’clock by bus. Parang Tritis is a beach located in Bantul regency, about 45 kilometres
from Jogja. It is about two hours to go there.
It was indeed a pleasant trip. We were smiling, laughing and making jokes. The
scenery along the road was very beautiful. Very large rice fields were spread on both sides
of the road. Here and there we could see beautiful and green mountains among others so
called Pegunungan Seribu. There was also a large sugar cane plantation with its great
sugar factory. We stopped over in the near place, to get some refreshments, some food
and drink.
We arrived at Parang tritis at about 10.00 o’clock. The beach was crowded, because it
was Sunday and holiday. Parang Tritis was a fantastic beach with its white sand. There
were many tourists go there for sunbathing. The breeze always breezed very softly. It gave
us peacefulness to the beach. The waves crumbled as they reached the beach. This went
on again and again so that it gave monotonous rhythm of the scene.
The students, males and females went along the beach to see the scenery of the
Parang Tritis. They could also ride a horse cart if they felt tired. There were also people
who played kites. The students played volley ball. Others stood on the side of the beach.
There were some bungalows along the beach. People who wanted to enjoy the night
view of the beach and stayed the night at the bungalows, got up in the morning to watch
84
the rising sun. Parang Tritis was indeed very beautiful. So when you go to Jogjakarta,
don’t forget to visit the beach.

sequence of five crashes on Jl. Baji Gau, Jl. Cendrawasih, Jl Dangko, at the Hartaco
housing complex and Jl. Dg Tata I, injuring 15 people, including three motorists and a
pedicab driver.
Angry residents damaged the car after the fifth crash, while H.R.R. was arrested by
the local police, tribunnews.com reported.
The accident reminded the public of a fatal accident in Jakarta on Jan. 22 in which
a highly intoxicated driver, Apriyani Susanti, slammed her car into pedestrians on Jl.
Ridwan Muis in Central Jakarta.

The Government should be more serious
Sometimes when I pass some certain places in Jakarta, I often see piles of trash by
the side of the street or even by the river. This view is annoying. It makes our city look ugly
and very dirty. If we walk near the pile of trash, we could smell stinky odors coming from it.
Piles of trash bring the bacteria with them. Isn’t that very dangerous to our health
if flies land on our food?
However, many people live around this mountain- like heap of trash. Many
children play nearby. Also, a lot of women wash clothes and fruits and vegetables in the
river which is contaminated by trash. This is terrible. I think they don’t realize the danger,
because they don’t have knowledge about healthy living.
In my opinion, the government must make a regulation that prohibits people to

build houses near the trash disposal (dump site). Also, there should be special officers,
like police officers, who watch and catch people who throw trash on the ground or into the
rivers. Moreover, if a big fine doesn’t make people stop dropping litter carelessly, the
government should put them in jail as punishment.
Finally, I think the efforts to keep our environment clean and tidy need hard work
from both the citizens and government.

A. How to live healthy.
B. The government’s problem.
C. The trash problem in Jakarta.
D. The police officers’ problem.
E. Children living around heap of trash.
30. The social function of the text is....

A. to share an amusing story with others
B. to inform the readers about environment problem
C. to present two points of view about environment
D. to describe the environment problem to the readers
E. to persuade the readers to be concerned with trash case
Human body is actually a living machine. This living machine needs energy to
supply with. The energy is provided by the food, which we eat. However, do we know how
much food we need to stay healthy?
The energy value of food is usually measured in calories. A calorie is the amount
of heat, which is required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 degree C. the
number of calories, which people need per day, varies. It depends on the activity, which
people are involved in. for example; people will need more calories for standing than for
sitting; people need more calories for running than for walking, etc.
86
The energy which is provided by food is in the form of three kinds of chemical
substances. They are carbohydrate, protein and fat. Carbohydrate provides 8.8 calories
per gram (cal/gm) of energy, protein 4.0 cal/gm and fat cal/gm. Each food contains
different proportion of these substances. These three chemical substances are important
for keeping body healthy.
31. What is the topic of the text?

A. Human body.
B. Energy for health.
C. Calorie measurement.
D. Chemical substances.
E. Important substances.

The Colosseum, or the Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin:

Amphitheatrum Flavium, Italian Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo), is an elliptical amphitheatre
in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is
considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering.
Occupying a site just east of the Roman Forum, its construction started in 72 AD
under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus, with further
modifications being made during Domitian's reign (81-96). The name "Amphitheatrum
Flavium" derives from both Vespasian's and Titus's family name (Flavius, from the gens
Flavia).
Capable of seating 50,000 spectators, the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial
contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-
enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building
ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such
purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry and a
Christian shrine.
Although in the 21st century it stays partially ruined because of damage caused by
devastating earthquakes and stone-robbers, the Colosseum is an iconic symbol of
Imperial Rome. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and still has close
connections with the Roman Catholic Church, as each Good Friday the Pope leads a
torchlit "Way of the Cross" procession that starts in the area around the Colosseum.

Floods always happen in Indonesia. Floods begin when soil and vegetation cannot
absorb falling rain or when water runs off the land in such quantities that it cannot be
carried in normal stream channels or retained in natural ponds and human-made
reservoirs. Flash floods are the result of too much rain falling in too small area, in too short
time. Flash floods frequently occur in seconds and minutes, while floods occur over hours
and days.
Typically flash floods occur primarily at night and when there is an abundance of
atmosphere moisture; in addition, there is usually little, if any, vertical wind shear present.
Flash floods can be produced by large, slow-moving storms or as a result of “train effect”
storms.
Flash flood waves, moving at incredible speeds, can roll boulders, tear out trees,
destroy buildings and bridges, and scour out new channels. Damaging walls of water can
reach 10 - 20 feet. On small streams, water levels may rise quickly in heavy rainstorms,
flash floods are one of weather’s most dangerous effects.

Students’ cheating is one of the biggest problems faced by teachers nowadays.
Despite of the fact that teachers advise their students not to do dishonest acts during tests,
some students still do cheating. There are many kinds of cheating that students do during
88
the test or examination, such as looking at students’ work, put some notes under their
clothes, write notes or formulas on their desk, make hand signals or go to rest rooms to
get the answers from their friends.
In my view, students who do cheating are committing a crime. It is a sort taking

something illegally. This crime causes negative results to the students. Cheatings
deteriorate their mental capacity. Cheating acts also create dependence. They weaken
their self confidence. Instead of preparing their coming test, they are busy organizing notes
on a piece of paper. If this awful habit continues, the students will lose their opportunity to
develop their intellectual and mind.
Therefore, school should consider cheating as a very serious problem. School board
and administration should go hand to overcome this matter. Honesty must be put in school
vision. Harsh punishment must be applied to students who commit this crime.
38. What will the school do to eliminate students who commit cheating?
A. Create a good vision.
B. Select honest students.
C. Make harsh punishment.
D. Make students confident.
E. Administer the school affair.

A. School policy.
B. Cheating problem.
C. Harsh punishment.
D. Mental deterioration.
E. Different ways of cheating.

A. The students do not cheat during the test.
B. Students put some notes under their clothes.
C. The students write notes or formulas on their desk.
D. There are many kinds of cheating that students do during the test.
E. The students make hand signals or go to rest rooms to get the answers.

Two students were discussing the school’s new rule that all students must wear a
cap and a tie. One of them showed her annoyance. She said that wearing a cap and a tie
was only suitable for a flag rising ceremony. Wearing a cap and a tie made the students
feel uncomfortable and hot. Moreover, the classrooms were not air-conditioned.
Contrary to the girl’s opinion, the other student was glad with it. He said that he did
not mind with the new rule because wearing a cap and a tie would make the students look
great and look real educated persons. He was sure that the students would wear them
proudly. They would surely be used to it any way.

youthful undead boyfriend Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson. So, with his heart
audibly breaking, Edward finally bites the bullet - as it were - and leaves her for her own
good, settling apparently in Rio de Janeiro, that city being glimpsed subliminally just once.
Poor, post-breakup Bella mopes and whinges as the months drag past, taking refuge in
dangerous activities such as motorbike riding.

Text for Question 47
The humphead wrasse is an enormous coral reef fish. It can grow over six feet long with a
prominent bulge on its forehead. Some of them live to be over 30 years old. They roam
90
through coral reefs in search of hard shelled prey such as molluscs, starfish, or
crustaceans.
WWF urges local governments in the Coral Triangle to stop the trade and consumption of
humphead wrasse—one of the most expensive live reef fishes in the world. Live reef fish
trade in Southeast Asia continues to be a significant problem that threatens the region’s
food security as well as its reefs, as poachers often resort to legal and destructive fishing
methods to catch them.

47. …… It can grow over six feet long with a prominent bulge on its forehead (P. 1). What
is the synonym of the underlined word?

Locals in the area of Copenhagen are familiar with bytestation or give box
Jakarta has been growing a lot and so has the lifestyle.
I went to private schools before high school. I didn’t understand then, but now I figured it out that
there were gaps between the haves and the have nots. I also didn’t really feel it in high school and
college, but it was still there.
There are more shopping malls with the latest fashions, more shops with big brands, more fancy
cafés and restaurants, etc – all things that young urbanites would love to spend their money (or
sometimes their parents’ money) on. Things and possessions become a priority, a way of life that
we will pass on to our children.
A heartwarming twist on the materialistic lifestyle is found in a cold country up north, Denmark.
Locals in the Verterbro area of Copenhagen are familiar with byttestation or give box. Bytte can
mean exchange in English, and as the name suggests, abyttesation is a box where everyone can
put in and take things out as an exchange.
In the byttestation, you can find things from baby clothes, shoes, cups and plates to furniture. This
byttestation is organized by local group called Naboskab (neighbourhood). Byttestations are also
common in cities like Berlin and Amsterdam, where they often go under the name of "give box" or
"swapping station."
The vision behind this project is to increase the share of direct recycled goods in the area. The
program encourages the perspective that it is fine to wear or use second hand goods. You can also
give away things you don’t like anymore that might be useful to somebody else. There’s no
obligation to how much the donation should be. You put things that you think can be useful to
others. It may be clothes, books, cookware and toys.
How can we make sure that nobody is taking advantage of the system? It’s a tricky question or
should I say it needs a tricky answer? It’s trust-based. We need to have self-discipline. We have to
respect others. This small thing can actually affect trust, security and the way to be “local” The
cooperation between local and social initiatives can be culture-creating for an entire area.
It is never wrong to channel your donations through foundations. But, maybe we could also restart
the idea with the genuine mind-set of helping. There are others who are not so lucky, so share and
care. Start with the little things around you.
Can we spread the idea of more sharing and less complaining?

A. experienced the life in Copenhagen
B. understood the struggle of being poor
C. had good exprience with the byttestation
D. knew the characteristics of people in vertebro
E. understood the benefits of giving and sharing
I think my first trip to New Zealand was the best experience of my life. I met quate a
lot of nice people there. I made acquaintance with Jenny,Harry,Joseph, rexi, and Bryan.
They introduced me to their families. We had barbeque times in Rexi,s and Joseph,s
houses. Joseph and Jenny are brother and sister while Rexi and Bryan are twins.
You can find sheep almost everywhere in New Zealand. The tranquil meadow
where the sheep graze always appears in my mind every time. I go to sleep. Jenny,s
father has a lot of sheep and he sowed me his wool cutting machinery, which he uses
collect the sheep,s fur before processing it into thread.
For some people touring is a relaxing experience. Yet for me it completely the
apposite. I had to spend time more than 24 hours in the same clothes with greasy hair
and three hours of sleep. I would rather have traveled from Aucland to Milfort Sound and
more easy way . we could have spent a night or so in a hotel, not in our vehicle . However
, having a bunch or friend along the way perked me up. It make me want to come back to
New Zealand again.

PREDIKSI SOAL UN TAHUN 2018
The last day of Elvis: The majestic musician's final battle with addictions
His obesity made it hard for him to walk and round-the-clock nursing staff had to help him
with everyday tasks as he struggled to waddle even a short distance.
His other addiction, to prescription drugs, only made things worse. In the first seven-and-a-
half months of 1977 alone, one doctor prescribed him more than 10,000 individual doses
of sedatives, amphetamines and narcotics and his daily cocktails of pills gave him a
slurring, zombie-like appearance.
“He was a mess”, his chief nurse Letetia Henley Kirk, who he fondly called Tish, recalls.
Today it is almost impossible to believe that – at the time – Elvis was still the most prolific
and highly paid live performer in America and had wrapped his latest tour two months
before on June 26 at Indiana Market Square Arena, Indianapolis.
Being on hiatus from touring and recording had seemed to accelerate his dreadful physical
descent and, according to his live-in girlfriend Ginger Alden, he had become more
depressed than ever and prone to “sudden outbursts of rage”.
To make matters worse on that August night, he had developed a severe toothache and
his dentist opened up his surgery in downtown Memphis for him. After the treatment, Elvis
and Alden returned to Graceland at midnight.
At first The King seemed to be in a better mood but within a couple of hours he
complained that his teeth “hurt like hell”, she recalls. At 2.15 am on August 16, Elvis woke
his personal doctor with a phone call for more pain medication, then woke his stepbrother
Rick Stanley to drive to the all-night pharmacy at nearby Baptist Memorial Hospital to pick
up six Dilaudid tablets.
At around 4am, feeling better and wide awake, Elvis played a game with his guest, after
one hour later, he decided to sleep and swallowed his small plastic bags of pills. At 7 am
he took a second pack of the twice-daily bags, possibly forgetting he had taken the first
only two hours earlier. However, at 9am, still unable to sleep, Elvis called down to
housekeeping to ask for a third bag, and at 9.30am he picked up the book he had been
reading – Frank Adams’s The Scientific Search For The Face Of Jesus – and told Alden,
by then awake, that he was heading for the bathroom. She recalls telling him: “Don’t fall
asleep in there,” knowing his habit of nodding-off while sitting on the toilet. “OK, I won’t,”
he replied. Alden went back to sleep, unaware that it was their final conversation.

Dear Rosa,
Hi Rosa, It has been long time no see you. I have a problem with my girlfriend. She is
twenty-five years old. We have been dating each other for years, since we were high
school students. Now we have jobs. I feel very sure that we love each other. Now it is
time for me to get married. Unfortunately, her parents never approve of our relationship
ever since the first time. My family, anyhow, does not really mind. At first I thought my
girlfriend had the power to defend our love. But then she surrendered. She loves me and
she loves her family, too. On the one hand she said, "I'll be happy if my family is happy." It
means she had to get approval from her parents.
For this I was shocked. My heart was broken. She ended our relationship just at the time
when I was ready to marry her. When I was with her, we were very happy. We had a lot in
common and there were no conflicts. The truth was, we separated only because of her
parents. They want her to marry her cousin, her aunt's son (this is one of the traditions in
the Karonese).
For the time being I am very upset. When I miss her, I call her. Then we can eat together,
talk together for hours. We act like elating because she loves me, too. The real problem
is, she cannot refuse what her parents want. So, should I forget my girlfriend, the only one
that I truly love? Or else, should I just wait, and dream that one day she will be back to
me?

You must have been aware of the growing need to conserve our forests. One of
the ways to ensure that fewer trees are cut down is by recycling waste paper. This is the
reason why our Conservation Club has embarked on our Old Newspaper Collection
Campaign.
Perhaps you would be interested in knowing what will happen to your old
newspaper after they arrive at the paper recycling center.
Firstly, the old newspapers are soaked in water and then put into hydropulper.
This machine, which has rotating blades, cuts the paper finely into a pulp.
Next, the pulp is fed into the washer. Here, all dirt is washed off. Staples and clips
are removed. The pulp is then fed into the chemical tank where bleach is added to it. This
whitens the pulp.
After being bleached, the pulp is passed through rollers. All excess water is now
squeezed out the pulp. This makes the drying process faster. The drying is done in a
dryer. The pulp comes out of the dryer as large sheets of paper, which are rolled on
spools.
This recycled paper is used for many things, for example, to make cardboard
boxes, egg cartons, toilet rolls, poster paper, and even gift wrapping paper. When you
consider that you have no further use for your old newspaper, you will be glad to contribute
them to our campaign.

Polar Bear
In spring 2008, the polar bear was placed on the endangered species list. According to
the USA's Endangered Species Act, an endangered species is an animal, plant or any
other kind of wildlife that is likely to face extinction in its natural habitat. Polar bears had
already been categorized as a "threatened" species which the ESA defines as one that is
likely to become "endangered" in the foreseeable future.
The polar bear is the first animal that has been classified as endangered due primarily
to global warming. Global warming is a form of climate change caused by increased
levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that become trapped in the
atmosphere. Oil and gas heaters, engines using oil or petrol (or gasoline) and coal-
powered electricity plants all require fossil fuels that lead to global warming. Renewable
energy sources or renewables that don't cause global warming include solar, wind and
hydro-electricity power. These alternative forms of power, as well as the science of climate
change, have been strongly attacked by many of the world's biggest companies in order to
protect the huge profits they make from fossil fuels. They do this even though they're fully
aware of how much fossil fuels are damaging our planet and endangering many of the
species we share it with.
The polar bear's habitat is more vulnerable to global warming than many other species.
Polar bears live mainly on the sea ice in the Arctic. This is where they hunt for fish and
build up fat reserves. When the ice melts many polar bears move to land and live off their
stored fat. In the Arctic, global warming is causing the ice to melt slightly earlier and form
slightly later. This results in a shorter feeding season for the polar bear. Some risk their
lives to find ice. If they have to swim too far they will drown from exhaustion and hunger.
The World Wildlife Fund estimates that over 25% of Arctic sea ice has disappeared in the
past 30 years.
It is not only the polar bear that is at risk in the Arctic. Every species of plant, animal, and
insect there is threatened by global warming. Nevertheless, groups of concerned scientists
98
and environmentalists such as the World Wildlife Fund often study large carnivores in
order to assess the health of an ecosystem. The Arctic food chain relies on the polar
bear. In addition, donations are more commonly offered for the protection of large animals
such as bears or elephants. People in general are less interested in conservation
efforts that protect small wildlife, such as plants or insects. However, by using donor
money to protect the habitats of larger animals through reforestation and similar
programs, entire ecosystems with many threatened or endangered species can be saved.
A. To inform that Polar Bears become endangered animals

B. To inform that the habitat of Polar Bear become extinct
C. To persuade the readers to save Polar Bear
D. To persuade the readers to give charity to Polar Bear
E. To inform that global warming is dangerous for animals
28. What major change has occurred in the polar bear's natural habitat?
A. Colder temperature
B. Uncontrolled exploration in arctic
C. Severed exhaustion and hunger
D. Greenhouses gases effect
E. Disappearing ice sea
29. We can conclude that ….
A. the polar bear has been facing the extinction because of the growth of human
population
B. the global warming causes only the habitat of Polar bear disappeared rapidly
C. the global warming causes the sea ice of Arctic disappeared
D. the global warming has been threatening every creatures in the world
E. to protect the ecosystem, it is needed the awareness of all people around the world
30. .... and live off their stored fat. Which sentence has the closest meaning to the
underlined word?
A. They stay for awhile

B. My father grows some flowers
C. My father earns money for us
D. The tiger lives for hunting
E. The insect is threatened for living

What is the benefit of tourism for local people? Well, Tourism is now a huge
contributor to the economies of most countries. Tourism industries can bring money, job
vacancy and advancement especially to developing regions. However, this money often
goes into the pockets of foreign investors, and only rarely benefits for local people.
Tourism industries will not give much benefit for local people if, for example,
multinational hotel chains don't care about the surrounding nature when they build new
hotels. This can cause many social, cultural and geographical problems. Some local
people may get job and money from that International hotel chain. However in case of
missing that opportunity, some of them still have their own environment.
Moreover, some facts show that tourists tend to go, visit and spend their money in
restaurants, bars and even luxury hotels of that multinational chains. They less go to such
places; restaurant, bar, hotel, shop which are owned by local people. This can prevent the
local people's business from becoming even larger.
Most important thing, tours or excursions of tourism have little effect on nature.
Even it can disrupt or destroy ecosystems and environments, and if it does, the local
people will get the risk.
So the local government policies should be put in place to ensure that tourism will
make the benefit spreading widely. The policies should guarantee that tourism will not
cause any harm to any local people or places.
31. What issue which makes the writer aware?

A. The multinational chains prevent the local people’s business to become larger.
B. The profit of tourism often goes to foreign investor, not to local people

Indian nationalist leader Mahatma Gandhi (born Mohandas Karamchand

Gandhi) was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, Kathiawar, India, which was then part
of the British Empire. Mahatma Gandhi’s father, Karamchand Gandhi, served as a chief
minister in Porbandar and other states in western India. His mother, Putlibai, was a deeply
religious woman who fasted regularly.
At the age of 13, Mahatma Gandhi wed Kasturba Makanji, a merchant’s
daughter, in an arranged marriage. In 1885, he endured the passing of his father and
shortly after that the death of his young baby. In 1888, Gandhi’s wife gave birth to the first
of four surviving sons. A second son was born in India 1893; Kasturba would give birth to
two more sons while living in South Africa, one in 1897 and one in 1900.
Young Gandhi was a shy, unremarkable student who was so timid that he slept
with the lights on even as a teenager. In the ensuing years, the teenager rebelled by
smoking, eating meat and stealing change from household servants.
Although Gandhi was interested in becoming a doctor, his father had hoped he
would also become a government minister, so his family steered him to enter the legal
profession. In 1888, 18-year-old Gandhi sailed for London, England, to study law. The
young Indian struggled with the transition to Western culture.
Upon returning to India in 1891, Gandhi learned that his mother had died just
weeks earlier. He struggled to gain his footing as a lawyer. In his first courtroom case, a
nervous Gandhi blanked when the time came to cross-examine a witness. He immediately
fled the courtroom after reimbursing his client for his legal fees.
After struggling to find work as a lawyer in India, Gandhi obtained a one-year
contract to perform legal services in South Africa. In April 1893, he sailed for Durban in the
South African state of Natal.

It is commonly observed during the rainy season that water falling on roads and
streets disappears after a few hours. Similarly, in summer, wet clothes dry up very soon.
Do you know where this water goes? This water gets converted into vapor called
evaporation.
How does evaporation take place? Every substance is made up of very small particles
called molecules. These molecules are held together by strong forces of attrition called
cohesive forces. These forces are opposed by the repulsive forces due to the motion of
molecules. As long as the cohesive forces are far greater than the repulsive forces, the
substance remains in the solid state. When the substance is heated up, it absorbs heat
energy which the molecules area set up in rapid motion. This motion starts
counterbalancing the cohesive force. When the repulsive force generated by the motion of
molecules equals the cohesive force, matter changes from solid to liquid state. If the liquid
is still heated, the molecules still move fast. When the force exceeds the cohesive force,
the molecules of the liquid become free and escape into the air. It is how the liquid is
converted into vapor. The liberation of the molecules from the liquid surface to the air is
called evaporation.
This explains the drying up process of clothes. If the wet clothes are put under the sun,
they dry up faster because at the rate of evaporation increases with the rise in
temperature. It takes place more rapidly when the air is dry. That is why clothes dry up
more quickly on a dry than on a damp cloudy day.

40. Evaporation usually happens when the molecules ….

A. move fast.
B. escape into the air.
C. become free
D. set up in rapid motion
E. release from the liquid float up to the air.
