PETUNJUK
KHUSUS:
I. Some
texts and questions will be given in this section. Read them carefully and
answer the questions by crossing a, b, c, d or e in your answer sheet!.
Text 1
is for questions number 1-5.
Icebergs are
mountains of freshwater ice floating in the ocean. They are huge chunks broken
off from the great masses of land ice called glaciers.
Almost all
of Greenland and Antarctica are covered by glaciers the year round. Glaciers
also cover parts of Alaska. They are formed by layers of packed snow. Glacier
may be thousands of meters thick. Their front ends, or tongues, reach down to
the sea. At the coast the tips of the tongues break off, plunge into the
oceans, and become icebergs. This process is called calving.
When calving
occurs, a loud cracking noise fills the air. Sometimes a low rumbling can be
heard for hours before the ice actually breaks away. People close enough can
hear the hissing of air as it escapes from bubbles bursting in the ice along
the break.
Glaciers
calve all year round. Just as many icebergs break off in winter as in summer.
But in winter their passageway to open the sea is often jammed with masses of
frozen seawater. Icebergs pile up behind this jam of sea ice. In the spring,
when the ice block is broken, a whole fleet of icebergs may sail out toward the
open ocean.
Icebergs
from the eastern coast of Greenland drift southward. They are carried by the
Greenland Current, which then swings them northward around the tip of the
island. Part of the way up the coast the icebergs are caught in the cold
Labrador Current and carried southward toward Newfound-land
On the way,
most of the icebergs become grounded among the many islands and bays along the
Labrador coast. The others float on toward the open sea. Off Newfoundland they
are caught by a warm current from the south called the Gulf Stream. Icebergs
that do not ground and remain in the Labrador Current often enter the lanes
used by ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
An iceberg
starts to break up almost as soon as it is afloat. Cracks appear and become
filled with water from ice that melts during the day. When this melted water
freezes at night, it expands and widens the cracks. The ice is weakened, and
pieces of iceberg break off and float away. The iceberg becomes smaller and
smaller. Most icebergs melt completely within a few days of entering the Gulf
Stream

expected that a game they played last week would be reported in the local

One
afternoon, they were playing in the street just outside the post office. Young
Ian, who is only five years old found the perfect place to hide. His sister,
Janet, had shut her eyes and was counting up to ten when Ian noticed that the
small metal door of the letter-box had been left open. The postman had just
taken all the letters out and had gone into the post office to see if there
were any parcels. Ian climbed into the letter-box and pulled the door from the
inside so hard that it locked. Soon realizing what he had done, he became very
frightened and started crying. Meanwhile, Janet was looking for him everywhere
but could not find him. It was lucky she happened to stop outside the
letter-box and hear her brother’s cries. She immediately ran to tell the
postman who hurried out to unlock the metal door. Ian was now free, but he had

Divorce May Mean Happier Lives
for the Children
Divorce
changes childhood but not necessarily for the worse. Many children from broken
homes go on establish loving relationships with both their parents.
It’s
difficult for children to be party to any ongoing dispute between parents.
One child
spoke of the “Bermuda Triangle” – the mythical space between the homes of her
parents into which socks and schoolbooks, game kit and pencil sharpeners always
seemed to disappear. Another child complain bitterly that one mother refuse to
let her on the weekends she spent with her dad. They hated being told secrets
and carrying messages to and from between their parents. Worrying about how
kids will be affected by divorce often leads parents into crooked thinking.
What matters
is overcoming and dealing with those difficulties. In life we are always going
to face difficulties and that we should never have problems is not a good way
at looking at childhood.
Rather than
wringing their hands about the harmful effects of splitting up, parents can be
positive and look at strategies for dealing with problems that might arise. As
a proof, a lot of parents that we interviewed stayed together longer than they
have done though they were so worried about the effect of divorce on their
thinking that any kind of adolescent rebellion was because of the divorce.
What we are
saying is that young people can strive under these circumstances and that it’s
the quality of the relationship that matter. Divorce might be a whole lot
better than a really grim family situation and children can often be
extraordinarily happy and contented after their parents’ divorce

II ESSAY
41. Read
the passage then correct the words which have wrong spelling.
A tsunami is
a series of waves generated when water in a lake or in the sea is rapidly
displace on a massive scale. Eartquake, landslide, volcanic eruptions and large
meteorite impacts all have the potential to generate a tsunami. The effacts of
a tsunami can range from unnoticable to devastating.
The term
tsunami comes from the Japanese language meaning harbour (‘tsu’) and wave
(‘nami’). Although in Japanese tsunami is used for both the singgular and
plural, in English tsunamis is well-establised as the plural. The term was
created by fishermen who retuned to port to find the area surrounding the
harbour devastated, although they had not been aware of any wave in the open
water.
42. Rearrange
the jumbled paragraphs into the right composition
How was the plastic invented?
Today,
plastic has become an integral part of our life. Its uses are endless.
Transparent plastics are used for making lenses and the windows of aeroplanes.
Polythene bags, again a plastic product, are now being used in almost all
walks of life. Articles of domestic use like buckets, cups, brushes, combs,
cabinets for radios and transistors etc, are also being made from plastics.
Toys and sports goods made from plastic have flooded the markets every where.
The yarn for making terylene cloth is in fact made from plastic. Today
scientists have even succeeded in developing heat insulating plastics. Foam
cushions, seats in trains cars and aeroplanes – all are made from plastics.
Now, plastic
are used as surgical aids also. There is hardly any field of life in which
plastics are not used
The
manufacture of plastic in commercial scale was started for the first one by Leo
Hendrik Backeland. He made it form phenol formaldehyde. Subsequently new
techniques were developed for the production of the plastics. Today scientist
have discovered many raw materials which are used in the making of various
kinds of plastic products.
The word
“plastic’ has originated from the Greek word ‘plastikos’ which means to mould.
It is made from simple organic chemicals. It has many varieties and is
available in many colors and varieties. The plastic was invented by Alexander
Parkes of England in 1862. in those days it was called ‘parkesine’ after him.
In fact, this plastic was nitro-cellulose made soft by putting oil and camphor
into it.

How Planes Fly
a plane
needs air pressure under their wings to stay up in the air as they move forward
the higher air pressure underneath their wings pushes them upward and gives
them lift
the smooth
streamlined shape of the plane allows air to fly easily over its surface this
helps to reduce the drag causes by the air pushing against the plane and allows
it to move rapidly through the air
planes move
forward using engines this movement is called thrust moving forward keeps a
stream of moving air passing over the wings which allows the plan to stay up in
the air if the engines fall the plane will begin to descend very quickly
