Questions
5 – 8 are based on the following text.
Recycling is a collection, processing, and
reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Materials ranging from
precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic spoons, can be
recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in
new products.
In general, using recycled materials to make
new products costs less and requires less energy than using new materials.
Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for
high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced
during the manufacturing process.
Paper products that can be recycled include
cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office paper. The most commonly
recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old newspapers are
collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil.
The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and
turned into pulp in a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The
pulp is screened and filtered to remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then
goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper fibers and floats to
the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as
boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers to be made into
paper again.
Experts estimate the average office worker
generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month. Every ton of paper that is
recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One ton of
recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).
5. The
following things can be recycled, except_____
A. precious metals.
B. broken glass.
C. old newspapers.
D. plastic spoons.
E. fresh vegetables and fruits.
6. Which of the following is not the benefit of
recycling?
A. It costs much money for the process of
recycling.
B. It costs less to make new products.
C. It requires less energy.
D. It can reduce pollution.
E. It reduces the demand for high-pollution
alternatives.
7. What
is the third step of recycling paper products?
A. Collect and search for contaminants such as
plastic bags and aluminum foil.
B. Mix the paper with hot water in a blender which
turns it into pulp.
C. Screen and filter the pulp to remove smaller
contaminants.
D. Put the pulp to a large vat to separate the ink
from the paper fibers.
E. Mix the pulp with new wood fibers to be made
into paper again.
8. We can make use of the ink after being
separated from the paper fibers by doing the followings, except_____
A. Skim it off.
B. Dry it.
C. Reuse as ink.
D. Burn as boiler fuel.
E. Mix it with the pulp.

Questions
9 – 12 are based on the following
text.
One of the biggest things a student must
figure out upon entering school is what to do with all that time. Free to
schedule as they please and free from the obligations of life at home, students
find themselves with a wealth of time they may or may not have.
There are things which you might consider
working. First of all, if you want to be cool and go out with your classmates
and buy some cool stuff, well you need money! By getting a job, you get money.
Of course, you have to work for it, but still, it can—and probably will—be
useful. There is not only money to consider though. Experience is an important
asset for after finishing your school. When you work during your school year
and add it to your resume, it will show your future employers that you are able
to manage to pursue two activities at the same time, or more if you are
involved elsewhere. Another interesting thing to consider is the contacts you
might make by working. By contacts, I mean people that can be useful to you
later in life. If you have different jobs, you make new references you can
later add to your CV along with the experience. Also, if you are lucky enough
to get a job in your area of studies, it may later become a permanent job.
The main disadvantage on your life is that
you will have less time for schoolwork—and social life of course. This also
means you get less free time to just hang out or party or do other stuff than
work and study. This is an important part of your life if you do not want to go
all crazy! It is also important if you want to be cool. Having a job can also
add another source of stress to your life. Depending on the type of job you are
looking for, you may get a boss that always wants more hours and presses you to
be more available. One of the things you can do is to set yourself a maximum
number of hours you want to work per week and make this clear with your employer
at the beginning of the year.
My biggest recommendation is not to rush into
anything. It’s perfectly acceptable to spend the first few weeks of school
adjusting and having fun, and then slide a job into the mix when you’ve grown
comfortable with everything else. Finally, never allow an outside job to get in
the way of your health and school years in general. While work may keep you
motivated and get you needed money, it’s not worth losing your education or
well being over. Obtain what you need, but if you feel yourself slipping take
some time off, or find a better place to work. You’ll have plenty of time to
work post school.
9. Which of the followings is not the advantage
of taking part-time jobs?
A. You will get money which you can use to buy
some cool stuff.
B. You will have less time for schoolwork.
C. You will gain working experience.
D. You will expand your contacts and networking.
E. You will get references which you can add to
your CV later on.
10. The
followings are the disadvantages of taking part-time jobs, except_____
A. You will have less time for your social life.
B. You will have less free time to hang out with
your friends.
C. You will get another source of stress to your
life.
D. You can prove that you can manage to pursue two
activities at the same time.
E. You may get a boss that always presses you.
11. What does the word ‘they’ in paragraph 1 line
2 refer to?
A. Students.
B. Schools.
C. The readers.
D. The reader and the writer.
E. Cool stuff.
12. What is the word ‘disadvantage’ closest in
meaning to?
A. Benefit.
B. Profit.
C. Drawback.
D. Advantage.
E. Reward.
Text IV
Questions 13 – 15 are based on the following text.
Indonesians are awesomely bilingual; indeed
many people have a good command of three of four languages. In infancy most
people learn at least one of the country’s many local languages and later learn
Indonesian at school or in the streets of cities or from television and radio.
It is not clear how many people learn Indonesian in infancy as their very first
language, but at the dawn of the 21stcentury it cannot be less than 20% of the
country’s population, and this percentage is steadily rising. Indonesian tends
to be most used in the modern environment of major urban areas. The local
languages tend to dominate in rural areas and small towns, and are most used in
homes, fields and markets.
Indonesian is the medium of instruction in
educational institutions at all levels throughout the country. In the early
years of the Republic, local languages continued to be used in some places as
the medium of instruction in the first years of primary school but this
practice has now almost entirely disappeared. In schools and universities most
textbooks are in Indonesian, but at the tertiary level, especially in highly
specialized courses and at the advanced level of study, textbooks in English
are also widely used.
Although there are several newspapers in
English and Chinese, their circulation is relatively small and Indonesian is by
far the dominant language in the country’s print media. Indonesia’s domestic
Palapa satellite system brings television to almost every corner of the
country. With the exception of some newscasts in English and a small number of
cultural programs in regional languages, domestic programs are entirely in
Indonesian, and almost all programs of foreign origin are dubbed into
Indonesian or have Indonesian-language subtitles. Similarly Indonesian
dominates in the very diverse and vibrant domain of radio broadcasting, although
there are a small number of specialist programs in English and in some local
languages.
13. Where do most Indonesian children learn local
languages and Indonesian?
A. At school or from the mass media.
B. From the other countries.
C. From their parents.
D. At the laboratory.
E. At the library.
14. What language is used at tertiary level?
A. Indonesian.
B. English.
C. Local languages.
D. Local languages and Indonesian.
E. Indonesia and English.
15. What is the
synonym of the word ‘dominant’ in the first sentence of the last paragraph?
A. Main.
B. Important.
C. Significant.
D.Overwhelming.
E. Awesome.
B. Important.
C. Significant.
D.Overwhelming.
E. Awesome.
