Teks Explanation 1

Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up

new cells and replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be
changed into substances that can be carried in the blood to the places where they
are needed. This process is called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up
into small pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands
in the mouth. Saliva contains digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be
swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the
stomach. Here, the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach
for several hours. Then the food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular
walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the food onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi
(microscopic branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the
bloodstream.

38. What is the text about?

The digestive system
The digestive juice
The method of the digestive system
The process of intestine work
The food substances

39. How can we swallow the food easily?

The food changes into acids absorbed by the villi.
The food must be digested first through the process.
The food is directly swallowed through esophagus into the stomach.
The food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach.
The food we take must be changed into substances carried in the blood to the
places

40. From the text above, we imply that ….

a good process of digestive system will help our body becoming healthier.
no one concerned with the process of digestive system for their health.
the digestive system is needed if we are eating the food instantly.
every body must conduct the processes of digestive system well.
the better we digest the food we eat, the healthier we will be

41. “Human body is made up of countless millions of cells.” (Paragraph 1) The phrase
“made up” means ….
produced
 managed
arranged

Teks Explanation 2

Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we’ll
enter the amazing world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you’re eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions,
especially in places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree
produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. Inside the fruit are the tree’s
seeds, also known as cocoa beans.

The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to
the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the
flavour. Different beans from different places have different qualities and flavor.

so they are often sorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix. Next, the
roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from
its shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid.
The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of
fat, and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why
the ground nibs form liquid. It’s pure bitter chocolate.

42. The text is about …

the cacao tree
the cacao beans
the raw chocolate
the making of chocolate
the flavour of chocolate

43. The third paragraph focuses on …

the process of producing chocolate
how to produce the cocoa flavour

the chocolate liquor
the cacao fruit

44. ” …, so they are often sorted and blended to produce …” (Paragraph 3.) The word
“sorted “is close in meaning to …
arranged
combined
separated
distributed
organized

45. How does the chocolate maker start to make chocolate?

By fermenting the beans.
By roasting the beans
By blending the beans.
By sorting the beans.
By drying the beans

Explanation 3
What is photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is a food-making process that occurs in green
plants. It is the chief function of leaves. The word photosynthesis means putting
together with light. Green plants use energy from light to combine carbon dioxide and
water to make sugar and other chemical compounds.
How is the light used in photosynthesis?
The light used in photosynthesis is absorbed by a green pigment called chlorophyll.
Each food-making cell in a plant leaf contains chlorophyll in small bodies called
chloroplasts. In chloroplast, light energy causes water drawn form the soil to split into
hydrogen and oxygen.
What are the steps of photosynthesis process? Let me tell you the process of
photosynthesis, in a series of complicated steps, the hydrogen combines with carbon
dioxide from the air, forming a simple sugar. Oxygen from the water molecules is given
off in the process. From sugar together with nitrogen, sulphur, and phosporus from the
soil-green plants can make starch, fat, protein, vitamins, and other complex compounds
essential for life. Photosynthesis provides the chemical energy that is needed to
produced these compounds.

46. What step after the hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide from the air …
Photosynthesis provides the chemical energy that is needed to produced these
compounds.

Water drawn form the soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen.

Food-making process that occurs in green plants.

Phosporus from the soil-green plants can make starch, fat, protein, vitamins, and
other complex compounds essential for life.

Oxygen from the water molecules is given off in the process.

47. What are photosynthesis need …

Water, light, oxygen, worm
Soil, chlorophyll, sun, human
Bug, air, oxigen, food
Light, Carbon dioxide, humus
Candle, vitamins, hydrogen

48. What the product of photosynthesis …
