Anti-cancer drugs may not be entirely to blame for the mild mental impairment
suffered by some cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, a study found.
The findings suggest the forgetfulness and other symptoms associated with socalled "chemo brain" may be caused by cancer itself rather than potent cancer-fitting
medicines, researchers said in a study published on Monday in the online version of the
journal Cancer.
In a study of 84 breast cancer patients diagnosed with neurogical problem, 35
percent reported cognitive problems before receiving chemotherapy. Chemotherapy did
cause a mental decline in the other patients.
The study was the first of its kind to find cognitive impairment in cancer
patients prior to receiving chemotherapy. Other symptoms of the disorder include
difficulty in speaking or interacting socially.
In the past, doctors may have assumed all cognitive impairment found after
chemotherapy stemmed from anti-cancer drugs because physicians never examined a
patient for metal decline prior to treatment, said Dr. Christina Myers, professor of
neuropsychology at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and one of the study's
authors.
About half the patients in the study reported recovering from the mental
symptoms within a year of receiving chemotherapy.
The findings are important because some cancer patients have been hesitant
to undergo chemotherapy out of fear of developing post-treatment problems, including
chemo brain.
Cancer doctors are not sure why patients with cancer develop neurological
problems. Cancer cells could create substances that impair the nervous system, or the
immune system could create an inflammatory response to cancer that could be
responsible for the fuzzy mental symptoms, Myers said.
7; What is the text about?

a. Breast cancer.
b. Chemotherapy.
c. Post treatment problems.
d. The cause of mental decline suffered by cancer patients.
e. Neurological problems in patients receiving chemotherapy.
8; What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
a. Cancer medicines cause forgetfulness.
b. Forgetfulness and other symptoms cause cancer.
c. chemo brain maybe caused by cancer itself.
d. Potent cancer-fighting medicines cause forgetfulness.
e. Potent cancer-fighting medicines can cause neurological problems.
9; Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the text?
a. Chemotherapy causes a mental decline to all patients.
b. The doctors assume that cognitive improvement stems from anti-cancer drugs.
c. Within a year of receiving chemotherapy, half the patients in the study are
recovering.
d. Cancer cells could create substances that impair the nervous system.
e. Breast cancer causes forgetfulness.
10; "Cancer cells could create substances that impair the nervous system ... (paragraph
8)
The underlined word means
a. Renew
d. Weaken
b. Damage
e. Stabilize
c. Recover
11; Why are the findings important?
a. To prove that chemotherapy does not have side effects.
b. To prove that chemotherapy does not cause chemo brain.
c. To prove that chemotherapy causes mental impairment.
d. To find out what causes chemo brain.
Bahasa Inggris
e. To diagnose that patient's cancer.

A scientist begins an investigation by observing an object or an activity.
Observation typically involves one or more of the human senses - hearing, sight, smell,
taste, and touch. Scientists typically use tool to aid in their observation. For example, a
microscope helps view away to be seen by the unaided eye.
Scientists typically apply their observation skills to an experiment. An
experiment is any kind of trial that enables scientist to control and change the
conditions under which events occur. It can be something extremely simple, such as
heating a solid to see when it melts, or something highly complex, such as bouncing a
radio signal off the surface of a distant planet. Scientists typically repeat experiments,
sometimes many times, in order to be sure that the results were not affected by
unforeseen factors.
Most experiments involve real objects in the physical world, such as electric
circuits, chemical compounds, or living organisms. However, with the rapid progress in
electronics, computer simulations can now carry out some experiments instead. If they
are carefully constructed, these simulations or models can accurately predict how real
objects will behave.

Silkworms live for only two or three days after laying eggs. About 36,000 to
50,000 eggs are laid, and these are carefully stored at the silkworm farm until they are
ready to hatch. The eggs hatch into caterpillars, which feed on mulberry leaves. Soon,
the caterpillars are ready to spin their cocoons. Not all caterpillars can spin silk cocoons.
Only the caterpillars of a silkworm moth known as 'Bombyx mori' can do such spinning.
This caterpillar has special glands which secrete liquid silk through its lower lip.
The liquid produced later hardens to form fine strands. The caterpillar makes its cocoons
using these strands. The threads on the outside of the cocoon are rough, while those
inside are soft and smooth.
Some fully-spun cocoons are heated. This kills the pupa inside. The cocoons are
then put into hot water to loosen the fine threads. Finally, these threads are reeled off the
cocoons.
The length of unbroken thread produced by a single cocoon measures about oneand-half kilometers. Being twisted together several of these threads make single woven
materials.

a. To persuade readers to buy silk

The sense of taste is one's of person's five senses. We taste with help of tastebuds in the tongue.
There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other tastes
are just mixtures of two or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells).
These are connected to the brain by special nerves which send the so-called 'taste
messages.'
When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will
pick up the taste. The nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware
of the taste. All this happened in just a few seconds.
There are four kinds of taste-buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular
taste. These four groups are located in different parts of the tongue.
The taste-buds for salty and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue
and along its sides. Sour tastes can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The
taste-buds for the bitter taste are found at the innermost edge of the tongue. There are
taste-buds at the centre of the tongue.
The senses of smell and sight-can affect taste. The good smell of food increases
its taste. Similarly, attractive colours can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If
food does not smell good or is dull-coloured, it will look tasty and may not taste good at
all.
Very hot or cold sensations can make the taste-buds insensitive. Food that is too
hot or too cold, when placed in the mouth, will have no tastes at all.
13. We can taste any kind of food because of....
a. The good smell of food
b. The four main kinds of taste
c. The taste-buds in he tongue

e. The taste-buds round the tip of the tongue

e. The taste-buds will be very responsive
c. The taste of the food increases
15. The senses of smell and sight ....
a. Increase the taste of the food
d. Make the food look good
b. Affect the taste of the food
e. Make the food attractive
c. Make food more delicious

To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school a number of dust bins should
be increased.
When we look at classroom, school corridors and school yard, there are papers,
mineral water cups, straws, and napkins here and there. The condition of uncleanliness
and discomfort really hinders learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown
carelessly cause disease, especially empty plastic cups or glasses. They can be filled out
with water coming from the rain. This can be placed for dengue mosquitoes to spread
out. Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the scene. Well painted wall and green school
yard do not mean anything if litters are scattered everywhere.
Anyway I notice that most of the students in our school have responsibilities for
their school environment. They put their litters on the proper places. But some are not
diligent enough to find the dust bins. The numbers of dust bins in our schools are not
enough. More dust bins should be put beside each of steps, outside of the classrooms,
and some more along the corridors. Probably one dust bin should be in every ten meters.
So when the students want to throw away their litters, they can find the dust bins easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not have problems of
filth and discomfort any more. Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to
study.

Rain
Rain always comes from clouds. But where do clouds come from? How does all
the water get into the sky?
Think about your bathroom. There is hot water in your bath. Steam goes up from
the hot water. The steam makes small clouds in the bathroom. These warm clouds meet
the cold walls and windows. These we see small drops of water on the walls and
windows.
The world is like your bathroom. The
water in the oceans is warm when the sun
shines on it. Some of this water goes up into
the sky and makes clouds. The wind carries
the clouds for hundreds of kilometers. The
clouds meet the cold air in the sky. Then
we'll see drops of water after the
condensation of clouds to water. The drops
of water are rain.
The rain falls and runs into rivers.
Rivers run into oceans. And the water from the oceans changes into clouds and becomes
rain. So water is always moving from oceans to clouds to rain rivers to oceans.
21. The text describes....
a. How rain falls

Death penalty for serious criminals has been discussed by our experts. Those
who agree say that death penalty will scare the criminals off. However, those who
disagree say that it is inhuman, not effective and we cannot correct the wrong sentence
after the criminals die.
In Switzerland, this penalty does not exist. Most people argue that the possibility
of making the wrong decision is always there although it is true that spending life behind
the bars is not easy either. Also, every person should have a chance for rehabilitation. In
this way he or she can start all over again in another life style.
Those who agree argue that there is no use to feed the terrorists in prison with
their money. When they get out, they will create a lot of trouble by blackmailing and
17
Bahasa Inggris
killing people. So, who says that jails will stop them from being bad guys?

other hand, I wonder if those people are worthy of my feeling.

The Three Sheiks and Queen of Arabia
Maura who liked to be thought of as the most beautiful and powerful queen of
Arabia had many suitors. One by one she discarded them, until her list was reduced to
just three sheilks, all equally young and handsome, rich and strong. It was very hard to
decide who would be the best of them.
One evening, Maura disguised herself and went to the camp of the three sheiks,
as they were about to have dinner, and asked them for something to eat.
The first gave her some leftover food: the second gave her some unappetizing camel's
tail; the third sheik, who was called Hakim, offered her some of the most tender and tasty
meat. After dinner, the disguised queen left the sheiks' camp.
The following day the queen invited the three sheiks to dinner at her palace. She
ordered her servants to give each one exactly what they had given her the evening
before.
Hakim, who received a plate of delicious meat, refused to eat it if the other two
could not share it with him, and this act finally convinced Queen Maura that he was the
man for her.
"Without question, Hakim is the most generous of you;" she announced her choice to the

Some of the world's finest roads make use of bodies of water. They are called
canals.
Canals are man made waterways. They are usually straight and narrow. But they are
filled with water. They connect rivers and lakes, oceans and lakes, rivers and rivers, and
oceans and oceans so that boats and ships can go from one to the other.
Most canals are used for transportation. Barges, boats, and ships carry goods
over canals. Some are used to irrigate land or to carry sewage from large cities. Canals
also reduce the cost of shipping goods and offer travel short cuts.
Canals even go over hills and mountains. But you know that water can't flow up
a hill; so how can the water and boats in a canal go up a hill?
Something called a lock is used. It is a giant tank. The tank is big enough to hold
a long boat. The boat floats into the tank, and the doors behind it are closed to lock the
boat in there. Then more water is let into the tank. When the tank is full of water, the
20
Bahasa Inggris
tank door in front of the boat is opened and the boat floats out. The boat floats higher
and higher as the water rises. It floats either out into a higher part of the canal or into
another tank or lock, which will lift it still higher.
To go down the hill on the other side, the boat enters a lock that is full of water.
As the water is let out of the lock, the boat will float lower and lower. So lock makes it
possible for boats or ships to move from one water level to another.

Mangrove Trees
A mangrove is a tropical marine tree or shrub of the genus Rhizopora. Mangroves
have special aerial roots and saltfiltering tap roots that enable them to thrive in brackish
water (brackish water is salty, but not as salty as sea water).
There are several species of mangrove trees found all over the world. Some
prefer more salinity, while others like to be very close to a large fresh water source (such
as a river). Some prefer areas that are sheltered from waves. Some species have their
roots covered with sea water every day during high tide. Other species grow on dry land,
but are still Dart of the ecosystem.
Mangroves need to keep their trunk and leaves above the surface of the water.
Yet they also need to be firmly attached to the ground so they are not ~roved by waves.
There are three types of mangrove roots that play an important role for it:
1; Support roots which directly pierce the soil.
2; Level-growing roots which twist upwards and downwards, with the upwards twists
emerging on the water surface.
21
Bahasa Inggris
3; Level-growing roots whose downward twist (sub-roots) appear on the water surface.

water surface. As the soil begins to build up, these roots produce, additioanal roots that
become embedded in the soil.

Breaking and Entering is an unusual film. Will and Sandy are two architects
working on a major urban renewal project in the King's Cross section in London. The area
is unsafe and ready for such a project. Will and Sandy move their offices into a nearby
vacant were house.
Will has to deal with constant burglaries at his new office. One night, he saw Miro
trying to break into the building. He chased Miro to his run down apartment block and
watched him return home to his mother, Amira, a Bosnian immigrant who makes a living
tailoring clothes. Soon, Will 'meet' Amira and they begin an affair. And Amira learns that
Will holds the key of her son's future. How far will this mother go to protect her son?
Breaking and Entering is a very interesting film, but it is almost entirely character driven.
This is not a bad thing although in the film we are exposed to a story or action driven.

characters these actors have ever played. It is almost painful to watch them on their

good shot, and the bear, being very clumsy, could not use the arrow to good advantage.

came with the bear to the other side of the hill. The rabbit, fearing to the arouse the
bear's anger by refusing, consented and went with the bear and shot enough buffalo to
sa tisfy the hungry family. Indeed, he shot and killed so many that there was lots of meat
left after the bear and his family had loaded themselves, and packed all they could carry
home. The bear was very gluttonous and did not want the rabbit to get any of the meat,

throw earth on the blood and dry it up. Poor rabbit would have to go home hungry after

rabbit. The mother bear, knowing that her youngest child was very hearty eater, always

The Incas used to be a large empire of 990.000 km 2 in Peru of South America.
Their city was high up in the Andes Mountains. They were well-known for their great
wealth, especially gold. This great empire was unfortunately destroyed in an attack by
the Spaniards who were searching for their famed gold. Although, this empire existed
way back in 1493, it was not backward but complex and well-organized.
The empire was ruled by the Sapa Inca, Lord of the World, Son of the Sun. He
owned everything in the empire the land, soil, gold, and even the people. The people,
therefore, had no freedom.
Boys and girls were to live a life of obedience and tradition. They began working
in their ayllu or family groups. The rule was Ama sue, ama Ilulla, ama sheklla, which
means, "Do not steal, do not lie, do not be lazy."
Despite this difficult way of life, the Incas were very skillful. They constructed
drainage system and underground water reservoirs. Their buildings were made from
huge stones. These were cut to fit perfectly together so that no mortar was needed. Their
rope bridges were so strong that even a horse could gallop across them!
The Incas had no written language. Information was recorded on knotted strings called
quipus. These were also used as calculators. Strong and healthy young boys were chosen
as chasquis or couriers to carry messages from one place to another.

Higher Education for Women
In this modern era, there are still some parents, who are reluctant about sending
their daughters to co- Illege. The narrow attitude shown to women's education is largely
due to the traditional role of women in society. A woman is expected to be a wife and a
mother. Most parents believe that if their daughter gets married and chooses to be a
housewife, then the higher education will be a waste. However, an educated woman is
not only a better wife but also contributes something to the society.
Nowadays, more and more women are successfully combining their career and
marriage. Educated women are richer both emotionally and financially. They are able to
find an outlet fot their monotonous drudgery of their housekeeping. They bring ore
satisfaction and contentment to their lives.
Depriving girls of higher education is crass discrimation. Times have changed;
modern society needs the talents of its people regardless of gender. Today, women work alongside men. In fact, in the last few decades, women have
made outstanding contributions to society.
Women should be given the freedom to be educated whether or not they get married or
go to work after finishing their education, because it is only through education that a
woman will find herself useful and discover what she wants in life. A woman who works is
not an insult to her husband. Conversely, her husband should feel proud of her
achievements since marriage is actually an equal partnership.
Therefore, parents should not think that girls should receive less education just because
they will get married one day.
25. What makes parents reluctant to send their daughters to college?
A. They think education will be a waste.
B. More women are successful in their career.
C. It is a waste for women to go to college.
D. Traditional roles of women in society do not need high education.
E. They have to contribute something to the society.
26. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To put forward a point of view or argument about higher education for women.
B. To tell the parents in this modern era about how to educate their daughters.
C. To persuade readers what should and should not do about education.
D. To explain to readers about how to give education for their daughters.
E. To describe the fact about how some parents educate their daughter.
27. Modern society needs....
A. Educated career women.
B. Married women.
D. Good housewives and mothers.
C. Educated women.
E. Talented people regardless gender.

There are a lot of discussions as to whether children should be given homework or
not.
Some people claim that children do enough work in school already. They also argue
that children have hobbies that they want to do after school, such as sports or music. A
further point they make is that a lot of homework is pointless and doesn't help the child
learn at all.
However, there are also strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and
teachers argue that it is important to find out whether children can work on their own
without the support from the teacher. They say that the evening is a good time for
children to sit down and think about what they have learned in school.
Furthermore, they claim that the school day is too short to get anything done that
needs doing and it makes sense to send home tasks like independent reading or further
writing tasks that don't need teacher's support.
On balance, I think that some homework is a good idea but that it should only given
at the weekend when children have more time.
29. How do we compare the second and the fourth paragraph?
A; Both paragraphs argue that homework is necessary for students.
B; Unlike the fourth paragraph, the second paragraph argues that homework is
unnecessary.
C; The second paragraph supports that students need homework, but the fourth
paragraph does not.

looked after it lovingly, even though his wife complained bitterly about his wasting too
much time on the creature.
After some time, the wing mended and, because the bird did not want the farmer to
have kept on arguing with his wife all the time, it decided to go back to its nest.
When the farmer discovered that the bird was gone, he was so upset that he went
out to look for it. Eventually, he found it again, and was greeted happily by the whole
family of the bird. As a sign of their thanks for his care and attention, the birds gave him a

little box, and told him not to open it until he got home.
To his surprise, the farmer found the box full of precious stones. When his wife saw
them, she decided that she too deserved a reward, and she went to see the birds. The birds
give her a little casket, but this one was full of devils. The devils jumped on her as soon as
she opened the casket and chased her away.
Left alone, the farmer went to live near his friend, the bird. There he built a hut of
perfumed wood, and the birds decorated it with flowers of every kind.

Answer questions 20 to 24 based the following text.
HOUSE HUSBANDS' HEART RISK
Most people assume that life in the rat race is bad for your health. But reversing the traditional gender
roles, being a house husband is a stressful business, according to the latest research by American scientists. By
giving up their jobs in order to become house husbands, men increase their risk of heart attack or coronary
disease by as much as 82%, according to research based on 10 year study of 2.500 people in Boston, USA.
According to Dr Elaine Eaker, the key to the problem is that some men became stressed about
performing a role not traditionally assign to them by society. Men who stay at home tend not to have the same
levels of support from friends and family as women do the same.
Jack O'Sullivan, of the Fathers Direct group, was quoted as saying: "Society expects the main career
should be a woman and society is structured around that. Day care is called mother and to filler groups and
some men feel awkward about belonging to those groups.
Professor Gary Cooper, a psychologist at the University of Manchester, said many men tend to
underestimate the task of caring for a family. He said "Most men think being a house husband involves putting
on a bit of washing, taking the kids to school and then putting their feet up with a cup of coffee.
They are crazy. Most men are not used to performing a variety of activities simultaneously (the kind
of multi-tasking which is second nature to most women)."
It is estimated that men have taken over the main homemaker's role in one in seven homes, as increasing
numbers of women become the main breadwinner. The study also found that women in high-powered jobs were
more likely to develop heart disease than those in more junior positions.
20. The main idea of the first paragraph is....
A. People living in the rat-race tend to have heart attacks
B. The research on house-husbands health involved 2500 people
C. Scientists did some research on the people's health living in Boston
D. House husbands have understandable reasons why they gave up their jobs

The Houses of the Toraja
The ethnic groups in the mountain regions of southwest and central Sulawesi
(Celebes) are known by the name of Toraja, which has come to mean "Those who
live upstream"
or "Those who live in the mountains". Their name is in fact derived from the word
Raja, which in Sanskrit means "King". The society is hierarchically structured (the
noblemen are called rengnge, the ordinary people to makaka, and the slaves to
kaunan) birth determines which rank a person will occupy.
The distinctive features of the traditional houses (tongkonan) of the Toraja are the
"Buffalo horns", the roof design and the rich decoration on the walls. The buffalo
is
a symbol of status, courage, strength, and fighting spirit.
Designed as a representation of the universe, the tongkonan is constructed in three
parts: the upper world (the roof), the world of humans (the middle of the building), and the underworld (the
space under the floor). The highly distinctive roofs constructed by the Toraja have given rise to various
ingenious interpretations. Certainly the roof is something of deep significance for the Toraja, and even today
they build "Modern" (in other words houses built with cement) houses with such roofs.
A. The culture of Toraja
B. The society of Toraja
C. The distinctive features of traditional houses

The following text is for Question 28 to 31
Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain microbes. Antibiotics destroy other microbes that damage human
tissues. They are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, including gonorrhea, tonsillitis, and tuberculosis.
Antibiotics are sometimes called "Wonder drugs" because they can cure diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia,
and scarlet fever. But, when the antibiotics are overused or misused, these drugs make a person sensitive being
attacked by a superbug.
Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous microbes. If a drug destroys too
many harmless microorganism, the pathogenic ones (the dangerous microbes) will have a greater chance to
multiply. This situation often leads to the development of a new infection called suprainfection.
38
Bahasa Inggris
Extensive use of some antibiotics may damage organs and tissues. For example, streptomycin, which is
used to treat tuberculosis, has caused kidney damage and deafness.
Resistance to antibiotics may be ecquired by pathogenic microbes. The resistant microbes transfer
genetic material to non-resistant microbes and cause them to become resistant. During antibiotic treatment, nonresistant microbes are destroyed, but resistant types survive and multiply.
To avoid the side effect of antibiotics, you'd better not urge your doctor to prescribe antibiotics. Keep in
mind that antibiotics are only useful for bacterial infections and have no effect on viruses, so they cannot be
used for chicken pox, measles, and other viral diseases
28. Which diseases cannot be antibiotics?
A. Tonsillitis
D. Tubercolosis
B. Meningitis
E. Scarlet fever
C. Chicken pox
29. What are discussed in paragraph two and four?
A. Both paragraphs describe how antibiotics work
B. Both paragraphs tell about the effects of misusing antibiotics
C. Both paragraphs explain how antibiotics damage organs and tissues
D.Paragraph two tells what causes the pathogenic microbes multiply and paragraph four tells how the unresistant microbes become resistant
E.Paragraph two tells how antibiotics destroy harmless microbes and paragraph four describes how the
pathogenic microbes transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes
30. Choose one from the following which is not the effect of using antibiotics improperly?
A. Organs and tissues are damaged
B. The pathogenic microbes multiply
C. Harmless microorganisms are destroyed
D. Pathogenic microbes become nonresistant
E. New infection which is called suprainfention develops
31. Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangereous microbes. (paragrapph 2)
The underlined word means ...
A. vary
D. Contracdict
B. compare
E. Differentiate
C. correlate
This text is for Question 32 to 35.
Should performance enhancing drugs be accepted s-ports?
The issue of using drugs to enhance athlete's performance is controversial. Those who agree to the use of
drugs 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 turned performers and their coaches into liars and cheaters.
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.
I think the idea of allowing them in sports could lead to a situation whereby sportsmen and women are
used as human guinea pigs for a constant flow of new, unregulated substances.
32. What argument is given by those who disagree with the use of performance enhancing drugs?
A. Athletes health is badly affected
D. Athletes obey the rules
B. Guinea pigs are awfully needed
E. Athletes perform better
C. Athletes consume more drugs
33. According to the proponents of performance enhancing drugs, the effect of banning them is that performers
become....
A. losers
D. hooligans
B. winners
E. supporters
C. cheaters
34. What is the writer's intention to write the text?
A. To persuade readers to agree with the issue
B. To influence readers to oppose the issue
39
Bahasa Inggris
C. To describe performance enhancing frugs
D. To entertain readers with the issue
E. To expose readers with the issue
35. How does the writer feel about the performance enhancing drugs?
A. Neutral
D. Indefinite
B. Positive
E. Pessimistic
C. Negative
