After graduating in tourism from the University of Texas, Pat Crown was unemployed for almost a year. During that period, she visited many countries around the world and took notes of special attractions, traditions, cultures, and environments of those countries.

Page 16: Bahasa Inggris Sma Kode 10

When an advertisement was published by a leading local newspaper looking for a journalist, she applied for the post and was employed by the company. With her travelling experience, she was assigned to the Tour and Travel Department.

Needless to say, her new job required that she travel extensively from one country to another. Her degree in Tourism and her recent trips to various countries helped her get along.

Well with the job. She has written many remark able articles and short stories about tour and travel ever since she started working there.

Within two years, Pat was promoted from journalist to deputy editor. At this new post, she no longer traveled as much as another journalist too over her position. Pat focused more on planning as well as consolidating activities and writing at the request of the heads of state.

Under her leadership, the Tour and Travel Department has expanded tremendously, from a one-room office to half a floor, and from three staff to thirty.

The following text is for questions 31 and 32.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a bacteria that has been isolated from sea water, shell fish, finfish, plankton and salt springs. It has been a major cause of food poisoning in Japan and the Japanese have done several studies on it. They have confirmed the presence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the north and central Pasific with the highest abundance in inshore waters, particularly in or near large harbors.

Page 17: Bahasa Inggris Sma Kode 10

A man named Nishio studied the relationship between the chloride content of sea water and the seasonal distribution of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and concluded that while the isolation of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was independent of the sodium chloride content, the distribution of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the sea water was independent on the water temperature. In fact it has been isolated in high frequencies during summer, form June to September, but was not isolated with the same frequency in winter.

Within four or five days after eating contaminated foods, a person will begin to experience diarrhea, the most common symptom; this will very often be accompanied by stomach cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Headache and fever, with or without chills, may also be experienced.

31. The text mainly talks about ....

A. the Water bacteriaB. the Japanese foodsC. the Water temperatureD. the Contaminated foodsE. the Vibrio parahaemolyticus

The following text is for questions 33 and 34.

The Great Pyramid of Giza, a monument of wisdom and prophecy was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction make it one of the truly great wonders of the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and west – an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshipers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.

Exploration and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of time line of events – past, present, and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are presently under investigation.

The following text is for questions 35 to 37.

Almost everyone eats bread daily, especially for breakfast. Bread making is not a complicated task. You only need flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt, oil, butter, and an oven.

Choosing good flour is the step in making bread. There are two kinds of flour, soft and hard. Hard flour, made of winter wheat, is a better choice for making bread because it produces bread that has a better texture and taste.

Then, lukewarm water, yeast, sugar and salt are mixed with the flour to make dough. Yeast is a microscopic organism that is capable of producing carbon dioxide. It can make the dough rise or expand. Both sugar and salt give flavor to the bread so that it tastes nice. They, however, have different effects on yeast. After that, oil (such as olive oil, corn oil, peanut oil) and butterbare added because they are essential to make the bread tender. After mixing the ingredients, the dough is sent to the oven.

35. The text mainly talk about ...

A. The process of baking a good loaf of bread.B. Why bread is served as breakfast.C. How to select the correct wheat.D. The importance of bread.E. How to make bread.

The following text is for questions 38 to 40.

In 1982 Lindy Chamberlain was convicted of murdering her baby Azaria while camping at Ayer’s Rock. In my opinion, Lindy should have been convicted of Azaria’s murder as there is too much conflicting evidence.

Firstly, there is the question of the blood found in the car. It was claimed that it was the baby’s blood. However, the tests used to identify the blood were later found to be unreliable and the blood could have come from an adult.

Another piece of conflicting evidence concerns the dingo. Lindy claimed that Azaria was taken by stray dingo. Some of the other campers said that they saw no dingo, but there were several who confirmed Lindy’s story, and who stated that they heard a dingo’s cry just before Azaria went missing.

And finally, there is the matter of the baby’s jumpsuit which was later found with holes in it. The prosecution maintained that these holes could only have be made by a pair of nail scissors – the ones they claimed Lindy used to kill her baby. The defense on the other hand demonstrated that the holes could just as easily have been made by a dingo’s teeth.

In the light of such conflicting evidence, I believe that it was wrong to convict Lindy Chamberlain without finding more definite proof of her guilt.

38. Who was killed during camping at Ayer’s Rock?A. AzariaB. DingoC. MotherD. CamperE. Lindy Chamberlain

39. What is the text about?A. Azaria’s murderB. Evidence of Azaria’s murderC. Accusation on Azaria’s murderD. A daughter killed by her motherE. Lindy Chamberlain’s murder

40. The main idea of the second paragraph is about ....A. Proving the baby’s bloodB. Arguing the baby’s murderC. Doutbing the baby’s murderD. Finding the baby’s blood in the carE. Finding the adult’s blood in the car

The following text is for questions 41 to 43.

The tone for much discussion, over the last 400 years, of the nature of mind and body was certainly set by Descartes. Cartesian dualism postulated an apparently unbridgeable gap between minds and bodies which drove some thinkers to materialism, others to idealism. 20 th century thinkers have developed sophisticated versions of materialism, aided by recent discoveries about the nervous systems and the brain.

Some 20th century materialists have argued that mental states are identical with states of the brain, or reducible to them, in a way analogous to the way clouds are “reducible” to water droplets, or nations to individual citizens. Others have argued for the possibility of eliminating all references to thoughts and other mental notions in a completed account of the brain.

Yet other thinkers have thought that Descartes was conceptually confused. One of the most powerful accounts of mental states and acts developed in recent years is functionalism. Perhaps such mental “things” as thoughts, or fears, or beliefs, are nothing more than names for the way in which certain purely physical things function. Functionalism is compatible with materialism, thought it does not entail it in the way that identity theory or eliminative materialism does.

41. The materialist assumed that mental stated brain is a part of ....A. bodyB. mentalC. idealismD. materialismE. nervous system

42. What does the text tell about?A. Mind and body.B. Mental state and acts. C. Materialism and idealism.D. Cartesian dualism postulated.E. Identity theory or eliminative materialism.

43. What can we conclude from the text?A. There is the relationship between the mental states and the states of the brain.B. There is no relationship between the mental states and the states of the brain.C. The mental states are not identical with the states of the brain.

D. There is a connection between the body and the brain.E. The brain has certain purely physical things function.

The following text is for questions 44 to 46.

“No, Little Saltee is not a place for mirth. No Maypoles or circus antics. Especially not for Conor Finn”

In the 1800s, Little Saltee, an island off the coast of Ireland, had become widely known to those who were imprisoned there as “Hell”. At the age of 14, Conor Broekhart has seen his beloved tutor killed, discovered a conspiracy against the king (who had been like a father to him), and been thrown into the Little Saltee prison and branded a traitor. This has been through the power-hungry efforts of the conniving Marshall Hugo Bonvilain.

Upon his arrival he meets Biltoe, a guard personally assigned to Conor who will do anything to make the boy’s life even more miserable. After numerous beatings Conor is initiated into the “Little Saltee Kiss,” a process consisting of being thrown into a pool of flesh-eating mites and then being branded for life.

“The mites went to work scraping his skin with their infinitesimal teeth. To Conor this seemed like macabre torture: but to his person, these mites were a boon. Plant spores, agitated by the mites, disinfected his wounds, which the mites cleaned by eating all traces of infection. The chipped off blood and scab, diving deep into gashes, chewing back to the bare wound.”

Conor’s only hope for survival is to flee. He has always dreamed of flying, and under Victor’s careful teaching, he has learned much about the process. But how can a flying machine be made in this terrible place? His every move is monitored and every day brings new ways of torment from the brutal guards. As the years pass he fights hard for survival and a place of respect among his fellow prisoners, all the while carefully plotting his miraculous escape.

With this intervention of a wise but blind ex-prisoner, Conor comes to realize that he cannot just “fly-away”. He must let his father know that he is still alive, see Isabella (the king’s daughter and Conor’s dear childhood friend) and save the little kingdom from the twisted plotting of the evil Bonvilain. He knows that his mission has become much more complicated and that he truly risked losing everything if he does not succeed. Though only 17, he has lived and seen much more than most men twice his age.

44. What is Little Saltee called by prisoners?A. HellB. GuardC. IslandD. Prisoner E. Kingdom

Page 22: Bahasa Inggris Sma Kode 10

45. What is the topic about? A. IsabellaB. The KingC. The TutorD. The GuardE. The Prisoner

46. Why did Conor discourage that he does not succeed in his mission?

A. He thought that he hesitates with his success.B. He made his mission doubtful to himself C. His mission became more difficult.D. His mission was successful enough.E. He truly risked with his success.

47. Study the following sentences related to the etiquette for riders of city buses.
