Text I.
The following text is for questions 16 to 19.
Eskimoes live in a land where the winters are are long and very cold. During the
short summer months, they live in permanent homes of stone or earth.
However, their home are useless when the
Eskimoes have to travel great distances to
hunt for food. During such periods, they
need temporary homes to live in the and the
only available materials that the Eskimoes
can use are ice and snow.
Given the absence of the usual building
materials, the indigenous Eskimoes have
learnt to utilize the snow and convert it into
a snug, warm shelter called an igloo. In the
language of the Eskimoes, the word „igloo‟
simply means house. The igloo is made of
blocks of hard packed snow fitted together
to make a low, domed-shapped building. The
blocks are cut out are cut out with a knife
made from walrus ivory as snow does not
stick to this kind of knife. Using this
method, an Eskimo takes only a few hours
to build his home.
Inside the igloo, it is warm enough for
the family to take off their outer fur clothing. A platform of snow , covered with fur
and skins, serves as the family bed. During
the cold, arctic nights, the entire family
sleeps together for warmth. Cooking is
done on a stone stove or lamp that burns
seal fat or blubber. A small opening at the
top of the igloo lets the smoke out and the
fresh air in. Even though the air in the igloo
may not be clear or pleasant-smelling, it
serves its purpose as a warm, comfortable
shelter for the Eskimo‟s family.

The following text is for questions 20 - 23.
The grizzly bear lives in the uplands of
western North America.
Grizzlies are
normally solitary active animals , but in
coastal areas the grizzly bears congregate
alongside streams, lakes, and river during the
salmon spawn . Every other year, the females
(sows) produce one to four young (most
commonly two) which are small and weigh
only about 500 grams (one pound) . A sow
is very protective of her offsprings and will
attack if she is being threatened.
Male grizzly bears can range from
weights of 180 to 680 kilograms (400 - 1,500
pounds) and stand 2,44 meters (8 ft) tall on
their hind legs; the females are smaller. Their
coloring ranges widely across geographic
areas, from blond to deep brown or red.
These differences, primarily due to the different environments, particularly, which
regard to diet and temperature.
The grizzly has a large hump over the
shoulders which is a muscle mass used to
poser the forelimbs in digging. The hind legs
are more powerful, however. The muscle in
the lower legs provide enough strength for
the bear to stand up on its hind legs, giving
it a better view of its surroundings. The
head is large and round with a concave facial
profile.
In spite of their massive size, these bears
can run at speeds of up to 40 kilometers per
hour (25 miles per hour). However, they are
slower running downhill rather than uphill
because of the large hump of muscle over
the shoulders.

Text III
The following text is for questions 24 - 27.
Nuclear Power
There are three separate sources of hazard in the process of supplying energy by
nuclear power.
The radioactive material must travel
from its place of manufacture to the power
station. Altough the power stations themselves are solidly built, the container used for
the transport of the materials are not. There
are normally only two methods of transport
available, namely road or rail. Unfortunately,
both of these involve close contact with the
general public, since the routes are sure to
pass near, or even through, heavily populated
areas.
Next, there is the problem
of waste.
All nuclear power stations produce wastes
that in most cases will remain radioactive for
thousand of years. It is impossible to make
these wastes nonradioactive, and so they
must be stored in one of the inconvenient
ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground,
or dropped into abandoned mines, or sunk
in the sea. However, these methods do not
solve the problem, since an earthquake could
easily, crack the containers open.
Finally, there is the problem of accidental exposure due to a leak or an explosion at
the power station. As with the other two
hazards, this is not very likely, so that it does
not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. Nevertheless, it can happen.
Separately, these three types of risk are
not great causes for concern. On the whole
through, the probability of disaster is still
high.
25. The purpose of the text is ...
(A) to explain how nuclear power energy is
supplied.
(B) to persuade the readers to use nuclear
power energy.
(C) to inform the readers about the advantages of nuclear power energy.
(D) to convince the readers that nuclear
power energy is hazardous.
(E) to tell the readers about the future
prospect of nuclear power energy.
26. Storing radioactive wastes under the
ground or sinking them in the sea is still
considered unsafe because ...
(A) the place is convenient.
(B) it is possible to store them there.
(C) the methods do not solve the problem.
(D) it is impossible to make them nonradioactive.
(E) an earthquake could easily break the
containers.
27. “Separately these three types of risks are
not great causes concern.” (Paragraph 5)
The synonym of underlined word is ...
(A) ilness.
(B) health.
(C) danger.
(D) threat.
(E) safety.
24. How many ways can the nuclear wastes be
transported?
(A) One.
(D) Five.
(B) Two.
(E) Six.
(C) Three.

The following text is for questions 28 - 32.
Boxing - sport or spectacle?
Boxing, amongst other hand-to-hand
fighting, has been with us for thousands of
years. Originally it was nothing more than
bare fist fighting between two willing, and
sometimes unwilling competitors for the
entertainment of others, Some people argue
that it is a relatively safe, disciplined, highly
skilled, and technical sport that brings enjoyment and employment to a great many people. Others claim that it is a dangerous and
barbaric spectacle that has no place in the
civilized world. This article will explore each
side‟s claim in more detail. It will talk about
the damage that can be inflicted when two
men stand face-to-face with the sole intention of knocking each other out with their
fists. It will go on to argue that boxing, or
legitimate assault, has no place in the twenty
first century.
The bell goes and the two warriors approach each other . They are quick. They are
strong. They are hard. They are ready to hurt
and be hurt.
A left fist launches and connects with a
nose. They crowds are on their feet. Cheering. Wanting more. Wanting blood.
So, boxing; what‟s it all about? All animals, mostly the males fight from time to
time. Sometimes it‟s playing but at other
times it‟s serious. Lots of people, including
me , enjoy watching boxing. It is disgusting
at times thought, especially when there‟s lots
of blood and some boxers died in the ring.
In conclusion, both sides of the debate
have solid foundations. As has been shown,
the arguments for and against have been put
forward since boxing began. And it would
seem, the argument will continue for at least
the foreseeable future, as compromise seem
unlikely. Both sides do agree, however, that
the debate is better held whilst boxing is licensed and controlled rather than not. The
latter would make it, in my opinion, both
sport as well as spectacle.
28. Which statement is implied in paragraph 2
and 4?
(A) Boxing means hurting each other.
(B) Men, like animals, fight from time to
time.
(C) Some people think that boxing is
disgusting.
(D) Boxing should be banned in the twenty
first century.
(E) The two warriors have the some courage and strength.
29. Why do some people claim the boxing is
dangerous, barbaric, uncivillized? Because ...
(A) it brings enjoyment.
(B) it is quick and strong.
(C) it can entertain others.
(D) it creates employment.
(E) it can cause death in the ring.
30. When in boxing disgusting?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
When someone wins.
When there is lots of cheering.
When nothing happens.
When there‟s lots of blood.
When there is a big applause.
31. “It will talk about the demage that can be
inflicted when two men stand fece-toface .... (Paragraph 1)
What is the synonim of the underlined
word?
(A) Imposed.
(B) Harmed.
(C) Weakened.
(D)Endangered.
(E)Threatened.
32. Who do you think has the authority to
make boxing licensed and controlled?
(A) The judge of the game.
(B) The sponsors.
(C) The promoters.
(D) The spectators.
(E) The boxing federation.

Text I.
The following text is for questions 16 to 19.
Eskimoes live in a land where the winters are are long and very cold. During the
short summer months, they live in permanent homes of stone or earth.
However, their home are useless when the
Eskimoes have to travel great distances to
hunt for food. During such periods, they
need temporary homes to live in the and the
only available materials that the Eskimoes
can use are ice and snow.
Given the absence of the usual building
materials, the indigenous Eskimoes have
learnt to utilize the snow and convert it into
a snug, warm shelter called an igloo. In the
language of the Eskimoes, the word „igloo‟
simply means house. The igloo is made of
blocks of hard packed snow fitted together
to make a low, domed-shapped building. The
blocks are cut out are cut out with a knife
made from walrus ivory as snow does not
stick to this kind of knife. Using this
method, an Eskimo takes only a few hours
to build his home.
Inside the igloo, it is warm enough for
the family to take off their outer fur clothing. A platform of snow , covered with fur
and skins, serves as the family bed. During
the cold, arctic nights, the entire family
sleeps together for warmth. Cooking is
done on a stone stove or lamp that burns
seal fat or blubber. A small opening at the
top of the igloo lets the smoke out and the
fresh air in. Even though the air in the igloo
may not be clear or pleasant-smelling, it
serves its purpose as a warm, comfortable
shelter for the Eskimo‟s family.

only about 500 grams (one pound) . A sow
is very protective of her offsprings and will
attack if she is being threatened.
Male grizzly bears can range from
weights of 180 to 680 kilograms (400 - 1,500
pounds) and stand 2,44 meters (8 ft) tall on
their hind legs; the females are smaller. Their
coloring ranges widely across geographic
areas, from blond to deep brown or red.
These differences, primarily due to the different environments, particularly, which
regard to diet and temperature.
The grizzly has a large hump over the
shoulders which is a muscle mass used to
poser the forelimbs in digging. The hind legs
are more powerful, however. The muscle in
the lower legs provide enough strength for
the bear to stand up on its hind legs, giving
it a better view of its surroundings. The
head is large and round with a concave facial
profile.
In spite of their massive size, these bears
can run at speeds of up to 40 kilometers per
hour (25 miles per hour). However, they are
slower running downhill rather than uphill
because of the large hump of muscle over
the shoulders.

The following text is for questions 24 - 27.
Nuclear Power
There are three separate sources of hazard in the process of supplying energy by
nuclear power.
The radioactive material must travel
from its place of manufacture to the power
station. Altough the power stations themselves are solidly built, the container used for
the transport of the materials are not. There
are normally only two methods of transport
available, namely road or rail. Unfortunately,
both of these involve close contact with the
general public, since the routes are sure to
pass near, or even through, heavily populated
areas.
Next, there is the problem
of waste.
All nuclear power stations produce wastes
that in most cases will remain radioactive for
thousand of years. It is impossible to make
these wastes nonradioactive, and so they
must be stored in one of the inconvenient
ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground,
or dropped into abandoned mines, or sunk
in the sea. However, these methods do not
solve the problem, since an earthquake could
easily, crack the containers open.
Finally, there is the problem of accidental exposure due to a leak or an explosion at
the power station. As with the other two
hazards, this is not very likely, so that it does
not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. Nevertheless, it can happen.
Separately, these three types of risk are
not great causes for concern. On the whole
through, the probability of disaster is still
high.
25. The purpose of the text is ...
(A) to explain how nuclear power energy is
supplied.
(B) to persuade the readers to use nuclear
power energy.
(C) to inform the readers about the advantages of nuclear power energy.
(D) to convince the readers that nuclear
power energy is hazardous.
(E) to tell the readers about the future
prospect of nuclear power energy.
26. Storing radioactive wastes under the
ground or sinking them in the sea is still
considered unsafe because ...
(A) the place is convenient.
(B) it is possible to store them there.
(C) the methods do not solve the problem.
(D) it is impossible to make them nonradioactive.
(E) an earthquake could easily break the
containers.
27. “Separately these three types of risks are
not great causes concern.” (Paragraph 5)
The synonym of underlined word is ...
(A) ilness.
(B) health.
(C) danger.
(D) threat.
(E) safety.
24. How many ways can the nuclear wastes be
transported?
(A) One.
(D) Five.
(B) Two.
(E) Six.
(C) Three.

The following text is for questions 28 - 32.
Boxing - sport or spectacle?
Boxing, amongst other hand-to-hand
fighting, has been with us for thousands of
years. Originally it was nothing more than
bare fist fighting between two willing, and
sometimes unwilling competitors for the
entertainment of others, Some people argue
that it is a relatively safe, disciplined, highly
skilled, and technical sport that brings enjoyment and employment to a great many people. Others claim that it is a dangerous and
barbaric spectacle that has no place in the
civilized world. This article will explore each
side‟s claim in more detail. It will talk about
the damage that can be inflicted when two
men stand face-to-face with the sole intention of knocking each other out with their
fists. It will go on to argue that boxing, or
legitimate assault, has no place in the twenty
first century.
The bell goes and the two warriors approach each other . They are quick. They are
strong. They are hard. They are ready to hurt
and be hurt.
A left fist launches and connects with a
nose. They crowds are on their feet. Cheering. Wanting more. Wanting blood.
So, boxing; what‟s it all about? All animals, mostly the males fight from time to
time. Sometimes it‟s playing but at other
times it‟s serious. Lots of people, including
me , enjoy watching boxing. It is disgusting
at times thought, especially when there‟s lots
of blood and some boxers died in the ring.
In conclusion, both sides of the debate
have solid foundations. As has been shown,
the arguments for and against have been put
forward since boxing began. And it would
seem, the argument will continue for at least
the foreseeable future, as compromise seem
unlikely. Both sides do agree, however, that
the debate is better held whilst boxing is licensed and controlled rather than not. The
latter would make it, in my opinion, both
sport as well as spectacle.
28. Which statement is implied in paragraph 2
and 4?
(A) Boxing means hurting each other.
(B) Men, like animals, fight from time to
time.
(C) Some people think that boxing is
disgusting.
(D) Boxing should be banned in the twenty
first century.
(E) The two warriors have the some courage and strength.
29. Why do some people claim the boxing is
dangerous, barbaric, uncivillized? Because ...
(A) it brings enjoyment.
(B) it is quick and strong.
(C) it can entertain others.
(D) it creates employment.
(E) it can cause death in the ring.
30. When in boxing disgusting?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
When someone wins.
When there is lots of cheering.
When nothing happens.
When there‟s lots of blood.
When there is a big applause.
31. “It will talk about the demage that can be
inflicted when two men stand fece-toface .... (Paragraph 1)
What is the synonim of the underlined
word?
(A) Imposed.
(B) Harmed.
(C) Weakened.
(D)Endangered.
(E)Threatened.
32. Who do you think has the authority to
make boxing licensed and controlled?
(A) The judge of the game.
(B) The sponsors.
(C) The promoters.
(D) The spectators.
(E) The boxing federation.
