The problem of over population in Indonesia is made worse by the fact that fifty percent of all Indonesians are below the age of eighteen years. Most of them are dependents. They do not earn money to support themselves and are in need of many facilities like food, medical care, clothing, education, and employment opportunities. Although a large number of them are forced to drop out of school to earn a living, the government. still has to spent a very large part of its revenue on education. Then comes the problem of creating enough jobs for every new generation of school leavers or college graduates.

Although the problem of overcrowded cities is difficult to solve, there is a solution to the problem of people living in overcrowded areas of the countryside. The solution is internal migration. This means moving poor people from the countryside to different but underdeveloped parts of Indonesia, where they may work to build a new life themselves. In Indonesia, there are large and active resettlement programmes of his sort which have given a new life to thousands of people.

The following text is for questions 17 to 19.

In 1900 we began to unlock the mysteries of the atom: Max Planck launched quantum physics by discovering that atoms emit bursts of radiation in packets. Also the mysteries of the mind: Sigmund Freud published The Interpretation of Dreams that year. Marconi was preparing to send radio signals across the Atlantic, the Wright Brothers went to Kitty Hawk to work on their gliders, and an unpromising student named Albert Einstein finally graduated, after some difficulty, from college that year. So much for the boneheaded prediction made the year before by Charles Duell, director of the U.S. Patent Office: “Everything that can be invented has been invented.”

So many fields of science made such great progress that each could produce its own contender for Person of the Century.

Let’s start with medicine. In 1928 the young Scottish researcher Alexander Fleming sloppily left a lab dish growing bacteria on a bench when he went on vacation. It got contaminated with a Penicillium mold spore, and when he returned, he noticed that the mold seemed to stop the growth of the germs. His serendipitous discovery would eventually save more lives than were lost in all the century’s wars combined. Fleming serves well as a symbol of all the great medical researchers, such as Jonas Salk and David Ho, who fought disease. But he personally did little, after his initial eureka! moment, to develop penicillin. Nor has the fight against infectious diseases been so successful that it will stand as a defining achievement of the century.

17. The passage is about….

A. The mystery of 1900’s

B. The inventions in 1900’s

C. Medical research in 1900’s

D. The invention of penicillin

E. The achievement of the century

The sentence means….

A. The germs can’t growth without the mold

B. The mold and the germs can growth together

C. The mold can’t growth without the germs

D. There is no relation between the mold and the germs

E. The germs can’t growth with the mold

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system used to gather data and incorporate it in order to store, scrutinize, distribute, and show geographic information. GIS data displays actual world features such as elevations, terrain, and transportation networks, in a digital format. Users can take the information for such purposes as analyzing the digitally displayed data, mapping the data, and editing the data. A GIS will include application software for aerial photography, surveying land, extensive geographical mapping, remote sensing, and much more. It is often used to study global problems in an effort to find solutions much more quickly.

Recently, Geographic Information Systems have been developed to be used by the public. For instance, Bing Maps and Google Maps are GIS applications now used by millions of people around the world. Through interactive web mapping, the public now has access to large volumes of geographical information. Another important use of GIS is its use when studying climate change. For example, GIS is used to study the ice melting in the Arctic.

The following text is for questions 32 to 34

I admit it: I’m a bit of a germophobe. And when cold and flu season comes around, I’m even more conscientious about avoiding germ hot spots. I push elevator buttons and open doors with my elbow instead of my hand and thoroughly drying my hands after washing them because germs love moisture and live longer on damp hands. I’m convinced that’s why I don’t get sick very often, but when I do think I’m coming down with something, I wash my hands more often so I don’t spread a bug inadvertently to those around me, and I try not to take it to the office. I tell all my college to do the same: If you’re sick, stay home! It does your body, and your coworkers’ bodies, a world of good!

This text is for questions 35 to 38

Sultan Qaboos bin Sa’id al Sa’id, the 14th descendant of the Al Bu Sa’idi dynasty, is a socially and politically active monarch, reigning for more than 40 years since he ascended to power in 1970. He has revolutionized and modernized Oman, transforming it from a poor, isolationist nation into a land closely-linked with the African continent and devoted to economic development, regional stability, and religious tolerance.

The Sultan has raised the Omani standard of living by building up Oman’s school system, healthcare, infrastructure, and economy. He cites political participation as one of his major long-term goals. Within the last two decades, he has introduced political reforms including a bicameral representative body, a basic law, universal suffrage, and a Supreme Court. Moreover, despite Oman’s relative lack of oil and gas compared to other Gulf States, the Sultan has invested his country’s wealth so wisely that all citizens are guaranteed free education until PhDs (should they qualify); free healthcare; free land; soft loans for building homes; jobs and social security for the disabled, orphans and widows. Furthermore, unlike neighboring countries, Oman has resolved all its border demarcation issues with all its neighbors, has no foreign debt and has a Sovereign Wealth Reserve Fund of over 30 billion Riyals (about $100 billion). Oman is thus arguably the best administrated country in the Islamic world, if not in the whole world..

The following text is for questions 39 to 42

In a century that will be remembered foremost for its science and technology--in particular for our ability to understand and then harness the forces of the atom and the universe--one person stands out as both the greatest mind and paramount icon of our age: the kindly, absentminded professor whose wild halo of hair, piercing eyes, engaging humanity and extraordinary brilliance made his face a symbol and his name a synonym for genius: Albert Einstein.

Slow in learning to talk as a child, expelled by one headmaster and proclaimed by another unlikely to amount to anything, Einstein has become the patron saint of distracted school kids. But even at age five, he later recalled, he was puzzling over a toy compass and the mysteries of nature’s forces.

During his spare time as a young technical officer in a Swiss patent office in 1905, he produced three papers that changed science forever. The first, for which he was later to win the Nobel Prize, described how light could behave not only like a wave but also like a stream of particles, called quanta or photons. This wave-particle duality became the foundation of what is known as quantum physics. It also provided theoretical underpinnings for such 20th century advances as television, lasers and semiconductors.

The second paper confirmed the existence of molecules and atoms by statistically showing how their random collisions explained the jerky motion of tiny particles in water. Important as both these were, it was his third paper that truly upended the universe.

It was based, like much of Einstein’s work, on a thought experiment: if you could travel at the speed of light, what would a light wave look like? If you were in a train that neared the speed of light, would you perceive time and space differently?

Einstein’s conclusions became known as the special theory of relativity. No matter how fast one is moving toward or away from a source of light, the speed of that light beam will appear the same, a constant 186,000 miles per second. But space and time will appear relative. As a train accelerates to near the speed of light, time on the train will slow down from the perspective of a stationary observer, and the train will get shorter and heavier. O.K., it’s not obvious, but that’s why we’re no Einstein and he was.

Einstein went on to show that energy and matter were merely different faces of the same thing, their relationship described by the most famous equation in all of physics: energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared, E=mc2.

39. The text is about….

A. theory of relativity

B. three papers that changed science forever

C. Albert Einstein

D. the Nobel Prize winner

E. quantum physics

40. Important as both these were, it was his third paper that truly upended the universe. (paragraph 4).

Answer questions 43 to 46 based on the following text.

But why go to the trouble of saving species and ecosystems? Countless species became extinct before humans evolved into the dominant form of life on Earth. Habitats and ecosystems changed dramatically. Indeed, several mass extinctions have taken place during the Earth’s history One estimate is that on average, before the advent of the human era, an ordinary century saw 25 species die off; meanwhile, new species appeared. Why should things be different now?

Plants provide oxygen, which we breathe, and they also help renew air tainted by industrial development. Plants and animals provide us with food and with fibers for clothing. One might object that species used by human beings for food and clothing are in no danger of extinction. In fact, their widespread cultivation in carefully controlled monocultures—areas such as farms where only one species is allowed to flourish—has pushed many other plant species to the very brink of extinction. Only 20 plant species provide the vast majority of the world’s food. Of those, just four—wheat, rice, corn, and potatoes—feed more people than the next 26 crops combined.

Another reason to preserve the world’s biodiversity is the vast potential for new medicines that can be formulated from compounds in plants. A recent example in the United States was the discovery that taxol, extracted from the Pacific yew tree, is effective in treating breast and ovarian cancer. The rosy periwinkle, an unprepossessing plant that originated in Madagascar, yields two substances, vinblastine and vincristine, that are useful in treating Hodgkin’s disease and acute lymphocytic leukemia. The medicinal properties of plants are largely untapped; only about 5 percent of the estimated 250,000 species of trees, shrubs, and other plants have been studied for that purpose.

Adapted from: Microsoft ® Encarta ® 2009

B. Both paragraphs tell how to protect endangered species

C. It is necessary to to save species and ecosystems

D. The idea stated in paragraph three is contrary to that stated in paragraph two

The following text is for questions 47 to 50

In today’s press conference ahead of Saturday’s clash against Lazio, Mourinho responded to the comments made in recent days by AC Milan, who claimed that the gap at the top would be smaller if it hadn’t been for Adriano’s goal in the derby, and their midfielder Massimo Ambrosini, who said that Mourinho will live to regret saying that the Rossoneri will end the season with ‘zero titles’.

“I think it’s right to talk about a goal that some people think is dubious, but we should also talk about how many points have been won with irregular penalties,” pointed out Mourinho. “But I prefer not to talk about it because if I do, I will have to talk about many many other things, and it’s not worth it. In a championship with human errors, the best always wins. We just have to wait a while longer, but there’s not long to go.”

“I have no regrets. I’m man enough to apologise to Milan if, at the end of the season, I’m wrong,” said the Inter coach about his ‘zero titles’ taunt. “I remember Ambrosini insulting ten million Inter fans when he celebrated the Champions League victory. Many years have passed and I have never seen him apologise. He’s a charismatic player who has captained a great club like Milan, but I have never heard him apologise to the Inter fans, many of whom live in his same city.”
