Items 5 and 6 are based on the following passage.
The
Indus River Valley was once home to the most widespread and peaceful of the
ancient civilizations: the Indus Valley civilization also referred to as the
Harappan civilization. Known for its two major cities, Harappa and
Mohenjo-Daro, this society lasted from roughly 3300 B.C. to 1300 B.C., yet it
was only recently rediscovered within the last one hundred years. Studies of
the long-buried sites show surprising and interesting findings about the
people, culture, and structures that made up this great civilization.
The
phrase “early civilizations” usually conjures up images of Egypt and
Mesopotamia and their pyramids, mummies, and golden tombs.
But
in the 1920s, a huge discovery in South Asia proved that Egypt and Mesopotamia
were not the only “early civilizations.” In the vast Indus River plains
(located in what is today Pakistan and western India), under layers of land and
mounds of dirt, archaeologists discovered the remains of a 4,600-year-old city.
A thriving, urban civilization had existed at the same time as Egyptian and
Mesopotamian states—in an area twice each of their sizes.
The
people of this Indus Valley civilization did not build massive monuments like
their contemporaries, nor did they bury riches among their dead in golden
tombs. There were no mummies, no emperors, and no violent wars or bloody
battles in their territory.
Remarkably,
the lack of all these is what makes the Indus Valley civilization so exciting
and unique. While others civilizations were devoting huge amounts of time and
resources to the rich, the supernatural, and the dead, Indus Valley inhabitants
were taking a practical approach to supporting the common, secular, living
people. Sure, they believed in an afterlife and employed a system of social
divisions. But they also believed resources were more valuable in circulation
among the living than on display or buried underground.
Amazingly,
the Indus Valley civilization appears to have been a peaceful one. Very few
weapons have been found and no evidence of an army has been discovered.
Excavated human bones reveal no signs of violence, and building remains show no
indication of battle. All evidence points to a preference for peace and success
in achieving it.
So
how did such a practical and peaceful civilization become so successful?

Growing Herbs Indoors
Materials you need:
Containers (with drainage holes and waterproof saucers); herb seeds and/or plants; potting soil or soilless
seed-starting mix; fertilizer
Procedures:
1.
Prepare the herbs that you want to plant. The
herbs you can choose for windowsill herb garden are basil,
cilantro, dill, oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme. You can start from seed for
annual herbs and from plants for perennial herbs.
2.
Use individual pots for each herb so you can
give each plant the specific care it needs. Be sure containers have drainage
holes and waterproof saucers. If you want to plant multiple types of herbs in a
single container, make sure they have the same cultural requirements.
3.
If starting seeds, fill container with
potting mix. Avoid using garden soil, which tends to be heavy and may contain
disease organisms. Sow seeds, checking the seed packet to determine planting
depth. Learn what conditions each herb prefers; for example, basil prefers
warmth, while sage and rosemary like cooler temperatures. Consider choosing
compact or dwarf varieties to fit your space.
4.
Next, place containers in a sunny,
south-facing window. A south-facing window is adequate for most herbs. Water
your herbs to keep soil moist but not soggy, and drain saucers after watering.
Fertilize every two weeks with a half-strength solution of an all-purpose
fertilizer. Pinch back branching plants, such as basil, to keep them shrubby
rather than leggy.

Items 10 – 11 are based on the following passage.
Recently, I took a trip to
Japan. I went across the country and visited most of its famous places. One
that I noted was Akihabara. One notable establishment which can be found in
Akihabara is called a Girl/Maid Cafe, a themed restaurant where the servers are
women and they come and have conversations with you at your
table. Together with my friends, we went to a Mermaid Cafe, which was
themed to be under the sea. Our waitress was named Momone, and while she
did not look exactly like a Mermaid, she was definitely wearing a stereotypical
maid outfit. Unfortunately I did not speak Japanese, though the rest of my
small cohort did, so a long conversation ensued about our servers’ interests
and adventures. I purchased a special drink, which costed a bit more than
the others, but came with a cute Polaroid which Momone and I posed
for. She wrote all over the Polaroid with markers, writing cute messages
and drawing hearts, to help build the illusion that we were a cute (Kawaii) couple.
The arcades in Akihabara are
filled with people playing games. I am a big fan of Guilty Gear, but I
could not find it in the arcade I was in, so I instead settled for Blaz Blu,
its cousin. This arcade, and many other buildings in the area, have very
slow elevators and no staircases. If there were a fire I could only assume
everybody would die.
One of the shops I went to
was several stories tall. The first story contained modern console video
games, the next stories contain retro console games. One story is
dedicated to movies, while another to board games. There I purchase one toy
as a souvenir for a friend back in the States, though I had not yet asked how
it worked.
When riding between cities,
the trains were very packed. In these trains one will find many Japanese
Businesspersons, who mostly appear sad and tired. This offers a sharp contrast
with the whole “Kawaii” culture which is especially prevalent in Akihabara.
10. The text mainly discusses.…
A.
the
modern culture of Akihabara
B.
the
writer’s experiences in the maid café
C.
the
writer’s journey exploring the downtown of Akihabara
D.
the
trip to get special toys
the writer could buy in Akihabara
E.
the visit to Akibahara for culinary and games hunting
11. Which of these statements that is
correct based on the text?

The writer
could assume everybody would die now or then.
C.
The
Mermaid Café is usually themed under certain themes.
D.
Customers
have to use stairs to go to the arcades in Akihabara.

businesspersons give the different view about the culture in Akihabara.

Items 14 – 16 are based on the following passage.
At the age of sixty-five, Laura
Ingalls Wilder began writing a series of novels for young people based on her
early experiences on American frontier. Born in the state of Wisconsin in 1867, she and her family were rugged
pioneers. Seeking better farm land, they went by overed wagon to Missouri in
1869, then on to Kansas the next year, returning to Wisconsin in 1871, and
travelling on to Minnesota and Iowa before settling permanently in South Dakota in 1879. Because of
this constant moving, Wilder’s early
education took place sporadically in
a succession of one-room schools. From age thirteen to sixteen, she attended
school more regularly, although she never graduated.
At the age of eighteen, she married
Almanzo James Wilder. They bought a small farm in Ozarks, where they remained
for the rest of their
lives. Their only daughter, Rose, who had become a nationally known journalist,
encouraged her mother to
write. Serving as agent and editor, Rose negotiated with Harper’s to publish
her mother’s first book, Little House in
the Big Woods. Seven
more books followed, each chronicling her early life on the plains. Written
from the perspective of a child, they have remained popular with young readers from many
nations. Twenty years after her death in 1957, more than 20 million copies had been sold, and
they had been translated into fourteen languages. In 1974, a weekly television
series, “Little House on the Prairie”, was produced based on the stories from
the Wilder books.

The Bear Who Married
a Woman
Once upon a time there lived
a widow of the tribe of the Gispaxlâ'ts. Many men tried to marry her daughter,
but she declined them all.
The mother said, "When a
man comes to marry you, feel of the palms of his hands. If they are soft,
decline him. If they are rough, accept him." She meant that she wanted to
have a son-in-law who is skillful in building canoes.
Her daughter obeyed her commands
and refused all young men. One night a youth came to her. The palms of his
hands were very rough, and therefore she accepted his suit. Early in the
morning, however, he had suddenly disappeared, even before she had seen him.
When her mother arose early
in the morning and went out, she found a halibut (name of fish) on the beach in front of the house, although it was
midwinter. The following evening the young man came back, but disappeared again
before the dawn of the day. In the morning the widow found a seal in front of
the house. Thus they lived for some time. The young woman never saw the face of
her husband; but every morning she found an animal on the beach, every day a
larger one. Thus the widow came to be very rich.
She was anxious to see her
son-in-law, and one day she waited until he arrived. Suddenly she saw a red
bear appear from the water. He carried a whale on each side, and put them down
on the beach. As soon as he noticed that he was observed, he was transformed
into a rock, which may be seen up to this day. He was a supernatural being of
the sea.

Items 20 – 22 are based on the following passage.
The earth has four major layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle
and crust. The
crust and the top of the mantle make up a thin skin on the surface of our
planet. But this skin is not all in one piece – it is made up of many pieces
like a puzzle covering the surface of the earth. Not only that, but these
puzzle pieces keep slowly moving around, sliding past one another and bumping
into each other. We call these puzzle pieces tectonic
plates, and the edges of the plates are called the plate boundaries. The
plate boundaries are made up of many faults, and most of the earthquakes around
the world occur on these faults. Since the edges of the plates are rough, they
get stuck while the rest of the plate keeps moving. Finally, when the plate has
moved far enough, the edges unstuck on one of the faults and there is an
earthquake.
While the edges of faults are stuck
together, and the rest of the block is moving, the energy that would normally
cause the blocks to slide past one another is being stored up. When the force
of the moving blocks finally overcomes the friction
of the jagged edges of the fault and it unsticks, all that stored up energy is
released. The energy radiates outward from the fault in all directions in the
form of seismic waves
like ripples on a pond. The seismic waves shake the earth as they move through
it, and when the waves reach the earth’s surface, they shake the ground and
anything on it, like our houses and us!

Items 23 – 25 are based on the following passage.
Social Network
Impact on Young People
The impact of social networks on
young people is significant. Children are growing up surrounded by mobile
devices and interactive social networking sites such as Twitter, Instagram, and
Facebook, which has made the social media a vital aspect of their life. Social
network is transforming the manner in which young people interact with their
parents, peers, as well as how they make use of technology. However, hyper-connected to social network cannot be
bad for them.
The effects of social networking are
twofold. On the positive side, social networks can act as invaluable tools for
professionals. They achieve this by assisting young professionals to market
their skills and seek business opportunities. Social networking sites may also
be used to network professionally. On the negative side, the internet is laden with a number of risks
associated with online communities. Cyber bullying, which refers to a type of
bullying that is perpetrated using electronic technology, is one of the risks.
Bullies have taken to internet sites such as Twitter and Facebook, where the
hide behind the anonymity provided by the internet to carry out their
despicable acts.
Young people also run the risk of inadvertently
disclosing their personal information since on most occasions; they usually
neglect to read carefully websites’ privacy policies. Whenever young people
fail to read the policies and disclaimers, they are exposed to risks of having
their personal information disclosed. This is especially a serious matter in
light o the rising cases of cyber crimes such as identity theft. New studies
reveal that social networks have the ability to sway people to spend money by
running advertisements on the user’s page. Such forms of near-subliminal
advertising can subconsciously cause an individual to buy certain merchandise.
It is becoming increasingly clear
that social networks have become part of people’s lives. Many young people are
using their tablet computers and smartphones to check Tweets and status updates
from their friends and family. As technology advances, people are pressured to
adopt different lifestyles. Social networking sites can assist young people to
become more socially capable. However, they may also make them clumsy and
incompetent, as well. Therefore, it is imperative to exercise caution and
restraint when dealing with such issues.
23. What makes bullies are found
on the social network?
A. People have their own privacy protected by the law set
up in the internet.
B. Social networks have the ability to sway people to
spend money.
C. People can hide behind the anonymity provided by the
internet.
D. It can connect the people to the online communities
easily.
E. The risks of bullying through the
internet can be avoided.

underlined word refers to....
A.
The
effects
B.
Social
networks
C.

positive side
D.

opportunities

Internet users
25. What is likely the writer’s
opinion toward social networks?

B. The young people should deactivate their social
networks.
C. The social networks only give bad impacts for young
people.
D. The young people should be wise in using the social
networks.
