Items 5 and 6 are based on the

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.

I usually woke up at 8 a.m. and went to the press center
to check the daily schedule of briefings and press conferences, usually held by
the United Nations officials or disaster mitigation team chief, Alwi Shihab.
It was challenging to visit different refugee camps to
find soft stories, human interest stories. Then, I went back to the press
center in between to cover the press conferences of the day.
It was heart breaking when I saw these survivors fight
for food and secondhand clothing, which they said were limited and inadequate.
Emerging to a glaring, full noon, it was time to go back to the press center to
write stories and race against time, always fearing that the internet
connection would come crashing down.
And after everything was done, only then I remembered to
eat. Most times, I only ate once a day because you always had to rush and it
was difficult to find food. You had to travel quite far, about a 30-to

Galileo Galilee (1564-1642) — Astronomer and
Scientist. Galileo developed a superior telescope and made many significant
discoveries in astronomy. He was sentenced to life imprisonment by the
inquisition for his support for the Copernican theory that the sun was at the
center of the solar system. Galileo was born in Florence, Italy in 1564 to a
poor but noble family. His parents recognized their child’s innate intelligence
and talents and so made sacrifices to have him educated. At his father’s
insistence, Galileo studied the profitable career of medicine. But, at the
University of Pisa, Galileo became fascinated in a wide range of subjects. He
was also critical of many of Aristotle’s teaching which had dominated education
for the past 2,000 years. Galileo was appointed to be a mathematics professor
at the University of Pisa, but his strident criticisms of Aristotle left him
isolated among his contemporaries. After three years of persecution, he
resigned and went to the University of Padua, where he taught math. His
entertaining lectures attracted a large following and he was able to spend the

Once upon a time there was a poor widow who
had an only son named Jack. They were so poor that they didn't have anything
except a cow. When the cow had grown too old, his mother sent Jack to the
market to sell it. On the way to the market, Jack met a butcher who had some
beautiful beans in his hand. The butcher told the boy that the beans were of
great value and persuaded the silly fad to sell the cow for the beans.
Jack brought them happily. When he told his
mother about this, his mother became so angry that she threw the beans out of
the window.
When Jack woke up in the morning, he felt
the sun shining into a part of his room but all the rest was quite dark and
shady.
So he jumped to the window. What did he see?
The beanstalk grew up quite close past Jack's window. He opened the window and
jumped to the beanstalk which ran up just like a big ladder.
He climbed ... and climbed till at last he
reached the sky. While looking around, he saw a very huge castle. He was very
amazed.
Then Jack walked along the path leading to
the castle. There was a big tall woman on the doorstep. Jack greeted her and
asked for the giantess mercy to give him breakfast, because he felt very
hungry. Although the giantess grumbled at first, finally she gave Jack a hunk
of bread and cheese and a jug of milk.
Jack hadn't finished when the whole house,
began to tremble with the noise of someone's coming. "Oh! It's my

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
D. Change kinetic energy into chemical energy
E. Change the sun’s energy into chemical energy
21. From the
text we know that....
A. Plant need to heat energy to live
B. All human beings need chemical energy
C. Plants absorb sunlight to produce kinetic energy
D. Chlorophyll is the most important thing in
photosynthesis
E. Sun’s energy cannot be formed into kinetic energy
22. The green substance of plants is
chlorophyll. The underlined 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.
Nowadays, the police have been applying the
new regulation concerning the use of seat belts. In European countries, this
regulation has been applied for a long time.
However, this new regulation has become
controversial and is an interesting topic to discuss. Here are some of the
arguments. The use of seat belts has been proven to reduce the risk of injury
or death in an accident. Seat belt has become a standard component in cars. The
research shows that most car accident will cause an injury to the head.
Frequently, drivers or the passengers driving without seat belts die because of
this. By wearing the seat belts, the injury will not happen since belts
restrain our body on the car seat when the accident happens. Unfortunately,
many cars, especially the old ones, don’t have seat belts. This is because the
traffic conditions in the past were unlike the recent traffic conditions. The
designer of old cars didn’t consider a seat belt as an important part.
Besides, the drivers wearing the seat belt
will think that they are completely safe, so they may drive carelessly. They
are safe, indeed, but how about safety of other? The seat belt is only one of
the ways to reduce the risk of car accidents. It doesn’t mean that we are
completely safe. In short, our safety depends on ourselves.
23.
What
is the function of seat belts?
A. To reduce the
traffic conditions.
B. To become a standard
component in cars.
C. To reduce the risk
of injury or death in an accident.
D. To prevent the

E. To increase the risk
of injury in car accidents.
24.
“…

does the word “they‟ refer to?
A.
Cars.
B.
Seat
belts.
C.
Drivers.
D.

E.
Others.
