    Soal literasi bahasa Inggris SNBT nomor 1-7

    Do you play video games? If so, you aren't alone. Video games are becoming more
    common and are increasingly enjoyed by adults. The average age of gamers has been
    increasing. Changing technology also means that more people are exposed to video
    games. Many committed gamers play on desktop computers or consoles, but a new
    breed of casual gamers has emerged, who play on smartphones and tablets at spare
    moments throughout the day, like their morning commute. So, we know that video
    games are an increasingly common form of entertainment, but do they have any effect
    on our brains and behavior?
    Over the years, the media have made various sensationalist claims about video games
    and their effect on our health and happiness. "Games have sometimes been praised or
    demonized, often without real data backing up those claims. Moreover, gaming is a
    popular activity, so everyone seems to have strong opinions on the topic," says Marc
    Palaus, first author on the review, recently published in Frontiers in Human
    Neuroscience.
    Palaus and his colleagues wanted to see if any trends had emerged from the research
    to date concerning how video games affect the structure and activity of our brains. They
    collected the results from 116 scientific studies, 22 of which looked at structural
    changes in the brain and 100 of which looked at changes in brain functionality and/or
    behavior.
    Studies show that playing video games can change how our brains perform, and even
    their structure. For example, playing video games affects our attention, and some
    studies found that gamers show improvements in several types of attention, such as
    sustained attention or selective attention. The brain regions involved in attention are
    also more efficient in gamers and require less activation to sustain attention on
    demanding tasks.
    1. What can be inferred from the passage above?
    (A) Gamers are more likely to have brain damage due to the change in their brain
    structures.
    (B) Given its benefits, gaming will now be continuously praised on the media.
    (C) Gamers will find it easier to focus on tasks that require a lot of energy or
    attention.
    (D) Gaming will continue to become increasingly popular and will render other forms
    of entertainment useless.
    (E) Gamers are healthier and happier compared to people who don’t play
    video games.
    Jawaban: C

    2. What can we say about the author’s objective in writing this article?
    (A) The writer denies any claims on the negative effects of games.
    (B) The writer agrees that games ruin our brain functions.
    (C) The writer proves the media’s claims on the negative effects of games.
    (D) The writer explains how video games change the brain’s performance.
    (E) The writer shows that video games alter the brain’s performance and structure.
    Jawaban: E

    3. Why does the writer use the word "sensationalist" in paragraph 2?


    (A) Because video games are getting more popular among adults
    (B) Because games have been praised and demonized
    (C) Because games have been covered a lot by the media
    (D) Because video games are a sensational phenomenon
    (E) Because the media has made extreme claims, usually with no actual evidence
    Jawaban: E

    4. What can we say about the result of the study?


    (A) The researchers collected the results from previous studies examining brain
    structure and functionality.
    (B) More than changing how our brains perform, playing games can also alter brain
    structure.
    (C) The study shows that gamers have better performance in conducting cognitive
    tasks compared to non-gamers.
    (D) The number of gamers is increasing due to the inclusion of the new type of
    gamers who play on mobile devices.
    (E) Playing video games on mobile devices can alter the functionality and structure
    of the brain.
    Jawaban: B
    5. Which option uses the word "committed" in the same way that it is used in sentence
    6?
    (A) Ken committed a peculiar and uncharacteristic mistake.
    (B) After throwing a tantrum in public, Amber is finally committed to a psych ward.

    (D) Why are video games so polarizing?
    (E) What are the advantages of playing video games?
    Jawaban: B

    7. What is the significance of the expression “...but a new breed of casual gamers has
    emerged...”?
    (A) To illustrate the important role of mobile gamers in the study
    (B) To introduce one of the types of gamers examined in the study
    (C) To introduce the group that promotes the expansion of video games
    (D) To specify which type of gamers is included in the study
    (E) To introduce the group of gamers that is on the rise in popularity
    Jawaban: C

    Stretching more than 2.300 kilometers along Queensland's coastline and covering 35
    million hectares, the Great Barrier is the world's largest coral reef, and probably the
    richest. More than 1.500 species of fish, 4.000 species of mollusks, 400 species of
    sponge and 300 species of hard corals live here.
    The reef is Queensland's first world heritage area. It is very importance to Aboriginal
    and Torres Strait Islander people with significant cultural sites on many of its islands.
    The reef is very important in other ways. The World Heritage Area is worth some $5.4
    billion to the Australian economy. As many as $3.5 billion of that amount goes into the
    local towns and communities bordering the reef.
    Recent research published by the Australian Institute of Marine Science has found two
    primary factors that have caused a very significant decline in coral cover over the last
    30 years or so. They are extreme weather and the crown-of-thorns starfish. The same
    research is telling us that coral cover north of Cook town is generally stable, but the
    southern area is experiencing major losses.
    The reef's complexities are well described in the 2013 Scientific Consensus Statement.
    This science contributed to the updated Reef Water Quality Protection Plan (Reef Plan).
    The plan is a state and federal initiative designed to stop and reverse the decline in reef
    water quality. The consensus statement confirms that the major cause of coral cover
    loss is extreme weather events, such as cyclones.
    Clearly, we are not able to influence such events. The second Great Barrier Reef
    Report Card confirms that management change and water quality improvements are
    tracking positively, but more needs to be done. The report was released in July 2013
    and based on 2011 Paddock to Reef Monitoring Program data. The Queensland and
    Australian governments, together with industry, regional bodies, and conservation
    groups, will continue working hard to maintain progress towards Reef Plan targets. We
    want to be sure that the reef has the best possible opportunity to recover from cyclone
    damage and crown-of-thorns starfish attacks.

    8. What can be inferred from the passage?


    (A) The Great Barrier Reef is under the threat of nature.
    (B) The Australian economy is attracted by cyclones and starfish.
    (C) The other main resource influencing the reef is seawater quality.

    (D) preserving the Great Barrier Reef becomes the world's responsibility
    (E) local government are given responsibility to manage the reef benefits
    Jawaban: A

    10. Based on the passage, what does the author's bias deal with?
    (A) Collaboration between scientists and the Australian government.
    (B) Australian geographical heritage in a form of coral reef.
    (C) National economic value of the Great Barrier Reef

    You have invited your friend over for dinner. Your child sees your friend reach for some
    cookies and says,” Better not take those, or you’ll get even bigger.” You’re embarrassed
