The following text is for questions 16 to 18.
Many people call platypus duckbill because this animal has a bill like a duck's bill.
Platypus is an indigenous of Tasmania and southern and eastern Australia. Although it lays
eggs instead of bearing its young alive, the platypus is a true mammal, not a reptile. It
nurses its young with milk as do other mammals. Platypus has a flat tail and webbed feet.
Its body length is 30 to 45 cm covered with a thick and woolly layer of fur. Its bill is detecting
prey and stirring up mud. Platypus' eyes and head are small. It has no ears but has ability
to sense sound and light. The male platypus has a hollow claw, or spur, on each hind leg.
The spurs are connected with poison glands. The platypus poisons its enemies with the
spurs.
Platypus lives in steams, rivers, and lakes. Female platypus usually digs burrows in
the streams or river banks. The burrows are blocked with soil to protect it from intruders and
flooding. On the other hand, male platypus does not need any burrow to stay.
16. The text describes … of platypus.
A. the origin, physical features and habitat
B. the physical features, food and habitat

The following text is for questions 19 to 21
An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that
creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer, also known as a
seismograph. The moment magnitude of an earthquake is conventionally reported, or the
related and mostly obsolete Richter magnitude, with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes
being mostly imperceptible and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas.
Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale.
At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by a shaking and
sometimes displacement of the ground. When a large earthquake epicenter is located
offshore, the seabed sometimes suffers sufficient displacement to cause a tsunami. The
shaking in earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally volcanic activity.
In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic
event-whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans—that generates
seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults, but also by
volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments.
An earthquake's point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The term
epicenter means the point at ground level directly above this.
19. What is the text mainly about?
A. Hypocenter B. Earthquake C. Seismometer
D. Seismograph E. Natural phenomenon
20. How does earthquake happen?
A. There are volcanoes B. Damage occurs in the Earth’s crust
C. There are seismic waves D. There is earth’s crust
E. A sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust

A. To explain how earthquake occurs

The following text is for questions 22 to 24
The issue of using drugs to enhance athlete’s performance is controversial
Those who agree to the use of drug in enhancing performance say that most - top
players in all sports take drugs to train harder and feel no pain during play. The trainers,
sports doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists and managers of the big names make sure
banned substances are taken at the safest and most efficient levels. The main effect of
banning such substances has been to turn performers and their coaches into liars and
cheaters. We should legalize performance-enhancing drugs so that they can be regulated
and athletes on the way up - whose entourages do not yet include savvy physiotherapists
and doctors - don't overdose and do damage themselves.
On the other hand, some still believe that performance enhancing drugs in sport
should be banned. Performance-enhancing drugs are not only prohibited because they
violate the spirit of sport but because they can damage the health of athletes. The idea of
allowing them in sport could lead to a situation whereby sportsmen and women are used as
human guinea pigs for a constant flow of new, unregulated substances. The long-term
effects don't bear thinking about.
To my point of view, athletes’ best performances must be the result of hard training
rather than using performance enhancing drugs.
22. What make people disagree with the use of performance enhancing drugs?
A. Athletes’ health is badly affected B. Athletes consume more drugs
C. Athletes are independent D. Athletes violate the rules
E. Athletes perform better
23. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. The controversy of using drugs to enhance athlete’s performance

The following text is for questions 25 and 26.
Based on true events, Argo chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue
six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis—the truth of
which was unknown by the public for decades. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian
revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52
Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and
find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time
before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA "exfiltration" specialist named Tony
Mendez (Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so
incredible, it could only happen in the movies.
Unlike the more controversial Zero Dark Thirty which has an ending everyone on
the planet is aware of, this based on a true story drama tells the little known tale of a rescue
operation led by a brave CIA "exfiltration" specialist. Affleck not only handled the lead role
but also directed Argo, and in doing so solidified his place as one of the best directors of his
generation.
25. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To tell the saving of hostages B. To describe the Iranian revolution
C. To explain ‘Cargo’, an action movie D. To criticize ‘Cargo’, an action movie

disease and smoking is one of them. And there are many diseases which can develop from
smoking and heart disease is one of them. Cigarette smoking is actually a major cause of
heart attack, stroke and peripheral vascular disease.
Smoking and heart disease may not come hand in hand because not everyone
with heart disease used to smoke, but we can’t ignore the fact that smokers may develop
heart disease in a later time or any other serious disease for that matter.
Smoking kills more and more people each year and almost 40% of those who died
from smoking die from heart and blood vessel disease. Tobacco smoke contains thousands
of chemicals in which many of them are poisonous. Nicotine in tobacco smoke can increase
blood pressure causing the heart to work harder. Carbon monoxide replaces oxygen in your
blood. Smoking adds to the obstruction of the arteries which can lead to heart attack and
other heart-related conditions.
