Snakes are reptiles
(cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizard (the scaled
group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs
but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes are not
slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin
is hard and glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sun
bathe on rock in the warm weather. This is because snake is cold-blooded; they
need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in
the country. Some types of snakes live in trees; some live in water, but most
live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass, and in old
logs.
A snake’s diet
usually consists
of frogs,
lizards, mice, and other snakes. The anaconda can eat small crocodiles and even
bears. Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Some snakes are
protected by scaring their enemies away like Cobra. The flying snakes glide
away from danger. Their ribs spread apart and the skin stretches out. Its
technique is just like the sugar gliders.

Items
10 – 11 are based on the following passage.
A
tsunami is a series of ocean waves that sends surges of water, sometimes
reaching heights of over 100 feet (30.5 meters), onto land. These walls of
water can cause widespread destruction when they crash ashore.
These
awe-inspiring waves are typically caused by large, undersea earthquakes at
tectonic plate boundaries. When the ocean floor at a plate boundary rises or
falls suddenly, it displaces the water above it and launches the rolling waves
that will become a tsunami.
Most
tsunami, about 80 percent, happen within the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of
Fire," a geologically active area where tectonic shifts make volcanoes and
earthquakes common.
Tsunamis
may also be caused by underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions. They may
even be launched, as they frequently were in Earth's ancient past, by the
impact of a large meteorite plunging into an ocean.
Tsunamis
race across the sea at up to 500 miles (805 kilometers) an hour — about as fast
as a jet airplane. At that pace they can cross the entire expanse of the
Pacific Ocean in less than a day. And their long wavelengths mean they lose
very little energy along the way.
A
tsunami's trough, the low point beneath the wave's crest, often reaches shore
first. When it does, it produces a vacuum effect that sucks coastal water
seaward and exposes harbor and sea floors. This retreating of sea water is an
important warning sign of a tsunami, because the wave's crest and its enormous
volume of water typically hit shore five minutes or so later. Recognizing this
phenomenon can save lives.
A
tsunami is usually composed of a series waves, called a wave train, so its
destructive force may be compounded as successive waves reach shore. People
experiencing a tsunami should remember that the danger may not have passed with
the first wave and should await official word that it is safe to return to
vulnerable locations.
Some
tsunamis do not appear on shore as massive breaking waves but instead resemble
a quickly surging tide that inundates coastal areas.
10. Why did the
author write the report?
A.
To
raise people' awareness about tsunami.
B.
To
warn people about an upcoming tsunami.
C.
To
inform people about past tsunamis.
D.
To
inform people about the different types of tsunami.
E.

A.

B.

C.
they
are tall, fast, forceful and repetitive
D.

Kaka
was born in Brazilia. From age 4 to 7, his family lived in Cuiaba, following
his father, a civil engineer. At age 7, the family moved to the city of Sao
Paulo, in the neighborhood of Morumbi, near the stadium of Sao Paulo FC. As
FIFA says,” Kaka fails to fit the Brazilia stereo type of the kid from the
Favela who first played the game in the street with a ball made from rags.

Items
20 – 22 are based on the following passage.
All
human beings eat food and make use of the chemical energy in it, so do all
other animals. Perhaps you wonder where all that chemical energy comes from.
Why doesn’t the food all get used up?
The
answer is that new food is being grown as fast as old food is used to. It is
the green plants that form the new food. Animals either eat the plants or eat
other animals that have eaten plants.
The
green substance of plants is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll can absorb sunlight. When
it does so, it changes the energy of the sun into chemical energy. The chemical
energy present in sunlit chlorophyll is used to combine dioxide in the air with
water from the soil. Starch and other complicated compounds are formed. These
are high in chemical energy obtained from the sunlit chlorophyll.
They
make up the food on which mankind and all other animals live. In the process of
forming this food, some oxygen atoms are left over. These are given off into
the air by the plants. The whole process is called photosynthesis.
Thus,
plants use sunlight to from food and oxygen to from carbon dioxide and water
again. Plants change the sun’s energy into chemical energy. And animals change
the animal energy into kinetic and heat energy.
20. What will happen when the chlorophyll absorbs sunlight? It will....
A.
change
heat into kinetic energy
B.
form
complicated compound
C.
make
use of heat energy

change
kinetic energy into chemical energy

energy cannot be formed into kinetic energy

word in the above is closest in meaning to....
A.
core
B.
body
C.
stuff
D.
essence
E.
material
Items
23 – 25 are based on the following passage.
The
use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been a serious
for two reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for
biological specimen and experiments. Formalin in biology is a 10% solution of
formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve
biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservative, it will be very
dangerous to human’s body.
The
second reason is that there is not tight control from the government. This
condition makes the people’s health is really in a threat. When the control is
weak and the use of formalin is spread wide all over the Indonesia regions, and
these days it has really happened, the citizens’ bodies will be badly
contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their product
which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our
digestive system absorbs the substance the should be for the human and animal corpses?
Considering
the reasons, we can makes a conclusion that the use of formalin and other
preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.

strategy is first taught to students by introducing and explaining the strategy
to each of the student groups. The teacher starts off by making three columns

then selects a topic and the students will describe (33) what they already know about that topic and the teacher
