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 fl oats 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).

newspapers
b. broken glass
d. fresh vegetables and fruits
2. 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.

3. What is the third step of recycling paper products?
a. Collect and search for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminium 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 fibres.
e. Mix the pulp with new wood fibres to be made into paper again.
4. We can make use of the ink after being separated from the paper fibres by doing the
followings, EXCEPT....

Text 2 for question 6 to 9

Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we'll enter the
amazing world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you're eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions,
especially in places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a
fruit about the size of a small pine apple. Inside the fruit are the tree's seeds, also known as
cocoa beans.
The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the
chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour.
Different beans from different places have different qualities and flavor, so they are often
sorted and blanded to produce a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed.
Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then, the nibs are blended.
The blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes
bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat, and cacao beans are not different. However,
cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs form liquid. It's pure bitter chocolate.
6. The text is about ...
a. the cacao tree
d. the making of chocolate
b. the cacao beans
e. the flavour of chocolate
c. the raw chocolate
7. The third paragraph focuses on ...
a. the process of producing chocolate

Text 3 for question 10 to 13
Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to build up
new cells and replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed
into substances that can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This
process is called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into
small pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the
mouth. Saliva contain digestive juices which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into stomach.
Here, the food is mixed with juices secreted by the cells in stomach for several hours. Then
the food enters the small intestine. All time the muscular walls of the intestine are
squeezing, mixing and moving the onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi
(microscopic branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.

The market is called a floating market because the trade takes place on boats - in Indonesia
they are called klotok and jukung. This market has existed for over 400 years. In the past,
people from inland areas brought their agricultural produce or handicrafts to sell. They
bartered with people from the coastal areas. Nowadays people can buy things such as fruit,
vegetables, traditional cakes and even clothes from this 'pasar terapung'. Another unique
feature of these markets is the time of trading; it begins around 5 a.m. and finishes at 9 a.m.

A planet is a body in space that revolves around a star. There are nine planets in our
solar system, and these nine planets travel around the sun. The names of the planets are
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
Planets travel in orbit, around the stars. All of the planets of the solar system revolve
ill elliptical orbits. In other Words, their orbits are like large, flat circles. The time that it takes
a planet to make one revolution around the sun is called a year.
The Greeks were the first people to recognize and give names to some of the planets.
The word planet comes from a Greek word meaning wanderer. If a person wanders, tills
means that he goes from one place to another and does not have a home. The Greeks thought
that planets "wandered" in the sky. However, modern scientists can predict the movement of
the planets very accurately.

Text 2 for question 4 to 8
A magazine is a periodical containing a variety of articles and general illustration of an
entertaining or an instructive nature. Magazines are designed to be of interest either to the
general public or groups of people with specialized subject matters. The essential difference
between the magazine and the newspaper is a physical one: the magazine is smaller in size
and often bound in pamphlet form.
Magazine production involves teamwork. This means that many people have to work
together to produce the magazine you have in your hand. But one key person is the magazine
editor. If some one has a manuscript he wants to publish, he will send or submit it to the editor
of the magazine he likes. The magazine editor, usually the editor-in-chief, will read it and
make recommendation so that the manuscript can be
published.
Another task of a magazine editor is to consider whether the article will be part of
series. Will it have photographs or illustration? will it be in full color, two or three colors, or
black and white? Once the decision
is made, the work of an illustrator or photographer begins. Preparing manuscripts for the
magazine is hard work to do. After everything is all right, they are sent to the typesetters.
When the galleys (or typeset text) come back, they must be carefully read. This is the job of a
proofreader to find out whether or not there are mistakes in typesetting. Corrections are made
if there are mistakes.
4. What is a proofreader's Job?
a. to check the returned galleys
b. to accept or refuse a manuscript
c. to send a manuscript to the typesetter
d. to assign illustrators and photographers

e. to decide whether an article belongs to a series

5. The first paragraph describes the following, EXCEPT ...
a. what a magazine is
b. whom the magazine is for
c. how the magazine is published
d. what the content of a magazine consists of
e. what the difference between a magazine and an newspaper is
6. The function of 'so that ' in the second paragraph is to show ...
a. purpose
c. sequence
e. addition
b. contrast
d. condition
7. Which of the following statement is TRUE about the magazine?
a. Magazines are only meant for entertainment
b. Recommendation on the manuscript is made by the proofreader
c. The editor is the most important person in publishing magazines
d. There is no difference in size between magazines and newspaper

Text 3 for question 9 to 13

In their famous Indonesian English dictionary, Prof. Woyowasito and the late Mr.
Purwodarminto translated the word arisan as a saving club, while Prof. Dr. Bowman, a
Dutch sociologist, defined it as ROSCA, the abbreviation of Rotating Saving Credit
Association.
Arisan plays an important role in Indonesian society. We can save our money and
someday we can withdraw our saving. Or we can get a certain sum of money as a loan, and
repay it in installments, without any interest. We may say that we can get credit without
difficulty and formal procedures. The money intended for arisan is commonly regarded as a
savings.
The purpose of arisan is to strengthen the bonds among participants. It shows the spirit
of mutual assistance. Every member has the same chance to win the lucky number. He or she
then will subsequently be the host or hostess for the next meeting.

Adoption is a process by which people take a child who was not born to them and raise him or
her as a member of their family. By law, adopted children differ from foster children. An
adopted child has all the legal rights of a member of the family that raise him or her. A foster
child does not.
Parents place their children up for adoptions for many reasons. Some parents feel
they can not adequately care for their off springs because of health or economic conditions.
Some others, especially unwed parent, may not want to raise a child.
But there are couples who can not have their children of their own. Adoption gives
them opportunity to raise a family. They can get one from an adoption agency if they have all
the requirements asked.
State laws prohibit adoption agencies from revealing the identity of the natural
parents to the adoptive parents. These laws also forbid agencies from disclosing the identity of
the adoptive parents to the natural parents. In some states, the law permit adopted persons

who are at least 18 years old to see their birth certificates including the natural parents
names.
On the contrary, many adopted people worked to change the laws. They argue that
people have a right to know their identity. They said that keeping secret their adoptions
records violate their right. On the other hand, many people feel adoption records should be
kept secret. If not, natural parents might change their minds years later and take the child
away from the parents who raised him or her.
Some experts advise that a child should know of the adoptions by the age of 6 or 7.
Surveys have shown that most adopted children developed normally.
1.

Which of the following is not the reason why parents place their child up for adoption?
a.He or she is from a poor family
b. His or her parents do not love them
c.His or her parents are not in good health

e.
to live with his/her natural
parents
c.to be well treated as member of a family

The writers purpose in writing the text above is .
a.To tell readers how to adopt a child
b. To describe people who adopt a child
c.To explain readers how an adopted child raised
d. To persuade people to have a foster or to adopt a child
e.To inform readers the reason and problems of adopting a child

b. They want to know why they are adopted
c.They want to know their status in adoptive parents
d. They want to pay back their adoptive parents expenditure
They want to know why their parents place them up for adoption

Very Fast Trains

A very fast train is an electrified train that runs on a dedicated line. A very fast train
has an average speed of more than 250 km/h. It offers an obvious alternative to cars on
crowded motorways and to air travel on crowded air routes.
Very fast trains have been around for a long while. In Japan, the first very fast train,
the so-called bullet train, first ran in 1964. Its route, the Tokaido line, was from Tokyo to
Osaka, a distance of 515 km. It achieved speeds of up to 300 km/h. The other national super
train, the TGV (Train aGrande Vitesse: meaning high-speed train), ran in France for the first
time in 1983, on Paris to Lyon route. Super trains are generally expected to run at an average
speed 270km/h. Spains super train, the Ave, has reached a top speed of 500km/h. No wonder
very fast trains have spread throughout Europe, and the bullet train system has been extended
in Japan.

How are very fast trains able to attain such high speed? First of all, they have an
efficient supply of energy through overhead electric lines. They have aerodynamic design to
limit wind resistance at high speeds. Curves and climbs have been kept to a minimum. They
also travel on lines especially built for their high speeds there are no slower, more
conventional trains on super train lines.
Very fast trains are smooth-running and quiet. They have few delays. For examples,
the average time for TGV trains to remain at stations is just a few minutes.
That is, enough time to permit passengers to alight from and board the train. Planes travel at
much faster speed than super trains, yet passengers spend a lot of time getting to airports,
boarding the plane, and then leaving the airport and traveling to their local destination at the
other end. On some routes in Europe it is faster to travel by super train than by plane.
There are no super trains in Australia because of our vast distances and very small
population. Elsewhere in the world, super trains travel between centers of great population.
However, Queensland does have a tilt train, the next step down from the super trains. It
achieves high speeds because it tilts as it comes into curves. As a result, the train does not
have to slow down so much. However, it does not travel on a specially constructed line.
16. So far as train speed is concerned, the importance of the image at the beginning of the
article is that it shows . . . .
a. what a very fast train looks like
b. how fast a train is
c. what the tracks look like

e. why the train is so popular
17. The French very fast train is commonly known as the . . . .
a. bullet train
d. Ave
b. tilt train
e. TGV
c. France train
18. A leading factor that helps enable the speed of very fast train is . . . .
a. their popularity among the general public
b. the distance over which they run
c. the use of tracks built especially for them
d. their unique design
e. the short time in station
19. Regions and countries that are famous for their very fast train are . . . .
a. The United States and Canada
b. China, including Hong Kong
c. Some countries of Western Europe (such as France and Spain ) and Japan.
d. Australia and Africa

Text 10 for question 34 to 38

Facsimile

A facsimile or fax machine resembles a small photocopier. It is a device capable of

transmitting or receiving an exact copy of a page of printed or pictorial matter over telephone
lines, in usually, less than 60 seconds.
To send a document, the user inserts it into the machine and dials the telephone
number of the receiving fax machine. After the connection is made, an electronic scanner on
the transmitting machine moves across the page and converts the image into a set of electronic
signals. These signals travel over the telephone lines to the receiving fax machine. That
machine converts the electronic signals back into an image of the original document and then
prints a copy.
Most of contemporary fax machines conform to a set of standards, known as Group
III, that were implemented in 1980, and that requires digital image scanning and data
compression. Machine built to conform to Group III standard transmit the data at a maximum
9,600 bits per second (bps).
News services often use facsimile to send news stories and photographs to newspapers
and television station. Banks, laws firms and other businesses use facsimile to send copies of
documents to clients and other organizations.
Nowadays, fax machine can be used to receive a copy of a page sent through email
and the machine can even send it to e-mail. Latest science inventions cover real bigger
photocopiers that can produce copies of documents directly sent to e-mail and, of course, to
the fax machine in another part of the world. Facsimile has truly gone through great changes
of role as just as simple photocopiers.
