Text for Questions 20 to 23
There are long rivers, and
there are famous rivers. The mighty Nile is the world’s longest and most famous
river. The Nile’s longest branch stretches 4,160 miles (6,695 kilometers) and
crosses half a continent. The Nile winds north from the
heart of Africa. Crocodiles and hippopotamuses live in its waters. Gigantic
pyramids built by ancient Egyptians rise along its banks.
From its humble beginnings, the Nile flows into Lake Victoria,
the world’s second largest freshwater lake. The Nile draws much of its water
from this great lake.
The Nile flows out of
Lake Victoria to the north. The river crosses Uganda into Sudan, where it
spreads out to form a massive swamp.
At the city of Khartoum, Sudan’s capital, another great
river called the Blue Nile joins the White Nile—the river’s main branch.
Together, they form one very powerful river.
At Sudan’s northern border, this river thunders over six
waterfalls. From there, it winds through Egypt’s famous Nile Valley before
reaching the Mediterranean Sea. Where the Nile meets the
sea, it fans out into a broad river delta that looks like a big triangle. This
triangle is called the Nile River Delta.
Today, the Nile no longer
flows free. Many dams rise up along the Nile to capture water. They help
control flooding and provide electricity. But they also have contributed to
pollution of the Nile. The largest and most famous dam is
the Aswan High Dam, completed by the Egyptian government in 1970. It created a
giant lake called Lake Nasser.
Water from Lake Nasser drives
huge engines that make electricity. The dam supplies most of Egypt’s electric
power. Factories have sprung up along the Nile to use this power. Their wastes
pollute the river. The Aswan High Dam controls the flooding
of the Nile below it. But it also stops silt from flowing downstream. Egyptian
farmers must now use chemical fertilizers to replace the silt. These, too,
pollute the river.

Text for Questions 24 to 27
Fishing at the River
When I was in Junior High School, my father once took me
to go fishing with him at the river on Sunday morning. The river lies across
our oil palm plantation. We had breakfast first at home and then left early in
the morning by motorcycle.
When we arrived in our plantation, my father parked the
motorcycle under the hut. He asked me to collect some dry wood and dry grass or
leaves. When I already collected enough wood and dry leaves, my father set a
fire in the center of the fireplace. He said that the smoke from the fire would
scare some dangerous animal like bear and boar to come closer to the hut and so
it would make us safer.
After
cleaning some wild grass around the hut, my father gave me a hoe and asked me
to dig some soil to find worms. When I already had enough worm, I brought it to
my father and we went straight to the river. We put the worm on the fishing
hook as a bait to catch the fish. As a beginner fisher, I cannot apply the worm
on the fishing hook well, and it look like it was about to fall off the hook,
but my father said that it was okay. I threw the fishing hook into the river
and wait for the fish to eat the bait, but nothing happened after a while. When
I was about to get bored I saw a big prawn was slowly walking in the water. I
placed the fishing hook slowly into the face of the prawn and move it up and
down so the worm seemed alive. I never expected it to happen but suddenly the
prawn moves its hand and grabbed the worm on my fishing hook. I lifted it very
slowly and the prawn was still there hanging tight on the worm until I placed
it on the ground and I caught it right away with my hands. My father was so
surprise to see it. Before we went home, we cooked it at the hut and enjoyed it
together.
24.

A.
used
to explore the area of the plantation

a fire to save themselves from wild animals

used worm as bait to catch the fish

Text for Questions 28 to 31
There
are very clear things can be done to improve results when you need to make an outgoing call for sales.
1.
Improve Your Mind, it can be extremely mentally
challenging making outgoing sales calls. The reason is we’re likely calling
people which aren’t expecting our call and we will likely face some sort of
rejection. This can create cold call anxiety which is comparable to how a young
man feels at a high school dance when he needs to walk across the dance floor
in order to ask a young woman for a dance. We are aware that rejection is
possible and this can cause a level of discomfort in both of these scenarios.
There are a few things that can be done to decrease this stress as well as
improve your mental state: Know your value: Your business likely helps customers
or clients in some way. Being aware of the value that you deliver is helpful
and having it at the top of your mind when making outgoing calls. Go through
sales affirmations: It is helpful to go through some sales affirmations which
summarize why your company, products and services, as well as you as a sales
person are good and possibly better than the competition.
2.
Have a Value Statement,Having some sort of value
statement is one thing that can be used on every outgoing
call.
It is a one to two sentence statements which summarizes the core value that you
have to offer the prospects that you’re calling.
3.
Prepare for Objections, On
pretty much every outgoing call that you make, you will face objections. We can
easily prepare for these objections by outlining which ones we’re likely to
come across and then script out the best responses that will keep the call
going to improve sales results.
4.
Cold Call Script, You never really know which direction
the call is going to go and that is one of the most challenging things about
outgoing sales calls. Developing some sort of cold call script is one way to
decrease this uncertainty. It doesn’t need to be a lengthy and verbose script
which needs to be read word for word. It should be a type of outline which one
can use as a guide and/or a tool to determine which direction to take the call.
It can greatly improve results and make the outgoing call easier.
5.
Perform Some Research, when
doing some research prior to the call we can always stand to improve outgoing
calls. This could include some research on the company, the individual we’re
calling, and on any history between your company and the prospect. There are
various online resources that provide valuable data which can help your call in
some way or another. The information collected during research might enable you
to modify the questions that you ask to make them more tailored to the
prospect, which makes your questioning more powerful.
28.
What will the readers get after reading the text above? They are expected ….
A.
to
know how to call short and understandable

to make a polite sales call without annoying others
C.
to
be able to hold the call and forward it

valuable data

The company’s prospect
D.
The
developed script
Jawab:

questions that you ask to make them more tailored to the prospect,
which makes your questioning more powerful. Informasi pada paragrap terahir ini
membuktikan bahwa keuntungan dari memodifikasi pertanyaan dalam sebuah
percakapan bisa mendatangkan prospect usaha dan dan membuat pertanyaan menjadi
lebih berkekuatan.
31.

Text for Questions 32 to 35
The Maid of the Mist
She lost her husband and her hope at a young age, and
the beautiful girl could not find her way through the sorrow upon sorrow that
was her lot in life. So, she stepped one day into her canoe, singing a death
song softly to herself, and paddle out into the current. Soon the canoe was
caught by the rough waves and hurtled toward the falls. But as it pitched over,
and she fell, Heno, the god of thunder who lived in the falls, caught the
maiden gently in his arms and carried her to his home beneath the thundering
veil of water.
Heno and his sons ministered to the grieving girl, and
she stayed with them until her heart healed within her. Then the younger son
spoke words of love to the maiden and they married, to the delight of the god
of thunder. A young son was born to the couple, and he followed his grandfather
everywhere, learning what it meant to be a god of thunder.
The only shadow on the happiness of the maiden in the
mist was a continual longing to see her people one more time. Her chance came
in an unexpected and unwelcome way. A great snake came down the mighty river
and poisoned the waters of her people. They grew sick and were dying. Soon the
snake would return to devour the dead until my people were all gone. It was
Heno himself who gave her the news, and she begged that she might return for
one hour to warn her people of the danger. The god himself lifted her through
the falls and set her down among her people to give warning about the evil
snake that was causing such pestilence among them. She advised them to move to
a higher country until the danger was past, and they agreed. Then Heno came and
took the maiden back to her husband and her home.
In a few days, the giant serpent returned to the
village, seeking the bodies of those who had died from the poison it had
spread. When the snake realized that the people had deserted the village, it
hissed in rage and turned upstream to search for them. But Heno heard the voice
of the serpent and rose up through the mist of the falls. He threw a great
thunderbolt at the creature and killed it in one mighty blast. The giant body
of the creature floated downstream and lodged just above the cataract, creating
a large semi-circle that deflected huge amounts of water into the falls at the
place just above the god's home. Horrified by this disastrous turn of events,
Heno swept in through the falls and did his best to stop the massive influx of
water, but it was too late.
Seeing
that his home would soon be destroyed, Heno called for the maiden and his sons
to come away with him. The younger son caught up his wife and child and
followed Heno through the water of the falls and up into the sky, where the
Thunderer made them a new home. From this place, they watch over the people of
the earth, while Heno thunders in the clouds as he once thundered in the vapors
of the great falls. To this day, an echo of the Heno's voice can be heard in
the thunder of the mighty waters of Niagara Falls.

Text for Questions 36 to 39
A snow roller
It is
a rare meteorological phenomenon in which large snowballs are
formed naturally as chunks of snow are
blown along the ground by wind,
picking up material along the way, in much the same way that the large
snowballs used in snowmen are made. They can be as small as a
tennis ball, but they can also be bigger than a car. Most snow rollers are
a few inches/centimeters wide.
Alternative names
for snow rollers include: snow
bales, snow donuts,
and wind snowballs. Unlike
snowballs made by people, snow rollers are typically cylindrical in
shape, and are often hollow since the inner layers, which
are the first layers to form, are weak and thin compared to the outer layers
and can easily be blown away, leaving what looks like a doughnut or Swiss
roll.
The following conditions are needed for snow rollers to
form:
· There must be a
relatively thin surface layer of wet, loose snow, with a temperature near
the melting
point of
ice.
· The wind must be
strong enough to move the snow rollers, but not strong enough to blow them
apart.
Because of this last condition, snow rollers are more
common in hilly areas. However, the precise nature of the conditions
required makes them a very rare phenomenon.
The term snow
roller also applies to a horse-drawn implement used in the mid to
late 19th century (though tractor-drawn examples are still in
limited use today, mainly at ski resorts) to pack snow. It was mainly used in
areas with high snow accumulation for access for horses and horse-drawn sleighs
or wagons equipped with skis or runners. The implement was essentially, a
large, very wide, wooden wheel, weighed down with stone or concrete.
36.
When do the people get experience finding a snow roller? It is ….
A.
on
summer season
B.
on winter season
C.
on
fall season
D.
on
autumn season
Jawab: B
Pembahasan: Snow (salju)
ada dikala musim salju tiba atau winter season, dan tidak diketemui pada
musim-musim yg lain.
37.
What are the shape of snow roller? Its shape is ….
A.
triangular
B.
cubical
C.
diagonal
D.
Circular
Jawab: D
Pembahasan: snow
roller (bola salju) berbentuk bundar atau circular. Pada paragraph kedua juga
didapat informasi mengenai bentuk snow roller, yaitu: snow rollers are
typically cylindrical in shape.
38.
Due to the easiness in flying, some people also call snow roller as ….
A.
Swiss roll
B.
cylindrical
bread
C.
snow
bales
D.
chunks
of snow
Jawab: A
Pembahasan: dapat dilihat pada paragraph kedua yaitu:
weak and thin compared to the outer layers and can easily be blown away,
leaving what looks like a doughnut or Swiss roll.
39. “…to which the thin surface layer
of wet snow will not stick, such as ice or powder snow.” The underlined word is
similar to ….
A.
depth
B.
weight
C.
level
D.
Degree
Jawab:
D
Pembahasan:
kata “depth” artinya kedalaman, kata “weight” artinya berat, kata “level”
artinya tingkatan, dan kata “degree” artinya derajat/tingkat/kadar”. sehingga
kata surface layer of wet snow, sama artinya dengan degree od wet
snow.

Satellites
They are objects in outer space that
fly around planets in circular paths called orbits. Artificial satellites are
made by people. Thousands of satellites are zooming around our planet right
now.
The Soviet Union launched the
first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, in 1957. Sputnik 1 broadcasted a steady
signal of beeps. It circled Earth for three months and then fell back into the
atmosphere and burned up. The atmosphere is the air that surrounds Earth.
They need to reach a height of at least
120 miles (200 kilometers) to orbit. They also need to travel faster than
18,000 miles per hour (29,000 kilometers per hour). A satellite any lower or
slower would soon fall back down to Earth. It takes a rocket to bring
satellites up to that height and speed.
Most satellites are launched from the
ground. Some small satellites can be launched from high-flying planes. This
uses less fuel.
Other satellites are launched using a
space shuttle or other piloted rocket. This way, astronauts on the space
shuttle can make sure the satellite is working and gets into the right orbit.
They are used for a great many things.
Communications satellites beam TV, radio, and telephone signals all around the
world. Navigational satellites help people know where they are and get where
they are going. Weather satellites take pictures of clouds and storms from
above to help make weather forecasts. Spy satellites look down and snoop on
other countries. Other satellites help scientists to study Earth and other
planets.

construction progress of our new house. The location is two hours away from our
house in the village. We went there by motorcycle. It was just the two of us,
so my father sat on the front and I sat on the back.
We
left the village at 10 a.m. in the morning after having a breakfast with our
family. It is my habit to be sleepy when I am full. Within the first ten
minutes of our trip, I already yawn so many times. My father slaps my hand and
remind me to not fall asleep on the road. I tried to do as he said but I just
couldn't bear it anymore, so I hug my dad and I slept. A couple minutes later,
I woke up because I felt like my right leg was being dragged down and it hurt.

toe was cut in half, so it may not grow nail anymore. The doctor also said that

for Questions 46 to 48
The Jackal and the pond full of fish
Long ago, a big
jackal wanted some fish to eat. He went to look for a dried-up pond so that he
could catch the fish easily.
One day, he found a
pond which had only a little water, a lot of mud and many kinds of fish in it.
“I’m hungry today,”
the jackal thought, “I’m very hungry.”
A shrimp in the pond
knew what the jackal was thinking. “Brother Jackal,” he said in a kind voice,
“You can eat us all up. But look, we’re covered in mud. If you eat us like
this, we’ll taste horrible.”
“What can I do to
make you taste nice?” asked the jackal.
“Take us away and
wash us,” said the shrimp.
“But there are
thousands of fish in the pond. Where can I take you all? And how can I wash you
all?”
“Don’t worry,” said
the shrimp. “Just stretch out in the mud. Let some of us hang on to your fur.
Then you can get up and take us to pond with a lot of water in it,”
The jackal was
greedy and stupid. So, he did what the shrimp said. He stretched out in the
mud. Some of the fish hung on to his fur. Then the jackal got up and went to
look for another into it. The fish in his fur jumped off into the water.
“Go back,” said the
shrimp to the jackal, “and pick up the other fish.” So the jackal went back and
got some more of the fish. Again and again, he walked back to the old pond. At
last, all the fish were in the pond full of water.
When the fish saw
they were all together again, they swam away into deep water. When jackal saw
they had tricked him, he was very angry.
He hurried away to
look for big animals, snakes, and birds. He found elephants, tiger, buffaloes,
and pigs. He found python and cobras. He found crows, sparrows, and vultures.
He said to them, “Please help me to empty all the water out of the pond.”
He said to the
python, “the animals and birds will take the water out of the pond. Then you
can swallow it.”
When the fish in the
pond heard this, they were frightened. They said to each other, “What can we do
to stop these animals?”
A cat-fish said,
“People say the hare is very clever animal. He knows how to help animals in
trouble. Shall I go and ask him to help us?”
The other fish
agreed. So the cat-fish left the pond to look for the hare. All day he moved
slowly and heavily along the ground—flip flop, flip flop. In the evening, the
hare came out to look for some food. When he saw the catfish he asked, “Where are
you going?”
The cat-fish was
happy to see the hare and said, “Oh brother hare, have pity on me. The fish in
the pond have asked me to find you. People say you are very clever. You can
help animals in trouble. Please help us. All kinds of animals and snakes and
birds have come to our pond. They are going to take the water out of the pond.
Then the python will swallow the water and the jackal will eat up all the fish!
Come and help us.”
“All right” said the
hare, “Go back and tell the other fish not to be afraid.” The cat –fish then
went back to the pond.
The next morning,
the hare come along. He saw the animals taking out the water. He found a long
leaf which some worms had eaten. It was full of little holes. He shouted to the
animals, “Brothers! I have a letter to you from the great God Indra,” he looked
at the left and pretended to read it. “He says he will come and break the
ducks’ leg and crush the eagles. He will cut off the jackal’s head
and pull out the elephant’s tusks!”
The animals were
frightened when they heard this. They climbed on top of each other. Then they
climbed on top of the pythons. The pythons burst. All the pond water rushed out
of their bodies. The water came out so fast that all the animals drowned.
And instead of the
animals eating the fish, the fish ate the animals.
