of great job here. We explored the mountain and cleaned the mountain from the trash. We
collected and gathered the trash and brought them to the camping land. In the camping land, we
burnt the trash to create fire. When the fire was lit up, we people were like in a party. We danced,
laughed, sang, and laughed. That was a great moment.
I hope your holiday's been going well for you too. My holiday that day would complete
if you were there with me and Sanusi. Would you like to meet up some time in the next holiday?

Your best friend,

(Singnature)

The following text is for questions 24 to 27.

The dolphin is the wood duck of pelagic fishes, so spectacularly colorful that it seems
impossible it could have evolved by accident. The back and head are iridescent, glowing neon
blue and chartreuse green. The sides and belly are gold, sprinkled with bright blue spots. And,
like some other pelagic, the fish has the ability to “light up” with shimmering waves of color
across its body, almost as if its skin were embedded with moving lights.
In fact, biologists say the fish’s color is the result not only of pigment, but of
microscopic structures in the skin, which the fish can manipulate to change its color. The color
changes could have evolved for spawning selection, or perhaps as a camouflage when
approached by predators, as with many bottom creatures. In any case, the spectacular color in life
leaves no doubt when a dolphin dies; the skin almost instantly turns an ugly, blotchy gray-silver
or dull yellow.
Dolphins are found in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans, anywhere that the water
remains at 70 degrees or warmer throughout the winter. In U.S. waters they migrate seasonally,
following bait northward along the Atlantic coast to Virginia and beyond in spring, back toward
the Keys in winter, but good numbers remain in Florida waters throughout the summer as well.
The dolphin is unique among pelagic fishes in that the mature males have a distinctly
different shape than the females; the forehead of an adult “bull” is high and blunt, while the
“cow” has a more typical, streamlined forehead. (The males look just like the females until they
approach adulthood.) There are no reports of the male using this head as a battering ram in
mating battles, but it’s pretty clearly a secondary sexual characteristic.
Dolphin reportedly can reach speeds up to 50 mph, and sometimes run down flying fish
in the air, though more commonly they race along just under the surface, watching a flyer and
eating it the second it touches down. They also eat lots of squid, small bonito and other pelagic
bait.

A. the extinction of dolphins
B. the life of dolphins

The following text is for questions 28 to 30.

CNN: One thousand years ago, in the desert of the Chaco Canyon, the Anasazi people
built a nine multi-storey building called "Great House ". They used stone for the walls and wood
for the floors, doors and roofs. They transported more than 200,000 trees from the forests almost
80 kilometers away. How did they move the trees? We don't know.
In some buildings there are huge circular rooms called Kivas—the biggest one is
underground—and it is about 16 meters wide. Why did the Anasazi build circular rooms? We
don't know. Perhaps they used them for religious ceremonies or for storing crops. We only know
that the Anasazi people abandoned their Great Houses. Why did they leave? Hunger? War? We
really don't know.

The following text is for questions 31 to 33.

A month ago, I had no idea that on Saturday afternoon in November I’d be hanging 30
meters above the ground and enjoying it. Now I looked down at the river far below me, and
realized why people love rock-climbing.
My friend Matt and I had arrived at the Activity Center on Friday evening. The
accommodation wasn’t wonderful, but we had everything we needed (beds, blankets, food), and
we were pleases to be out of the city and in the fresh air.
On Saturday morning, we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come
along with two friends, Kevin and Simon, while Sister Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda.
We had come from various places and none of us knew the area.
We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors, but none of us was sure exactly
how. Half of us spend the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we
changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves first. Climbing out was harder than going in,
but after a good deal of pushing, we were out at last – covered in mud but pleased and excited by
what we’ve done.

31. What is the writer trying to do in the text?

 Ultraviolet light means the invisible part of the spectrum beyond violet. This light has
always been regarded as very useful because it is uses to cure certain skin diseases, kill bacteria,
detect counterfeit money, form vitamins, etc.
Along with the increasingly extensive use of computers in financial activities, ultraviolet
light has been widely applied by banks to identify the signatures of their customers in passbook.
When a customer opens a new account with a bank, the bank teller always asks him to sign on a
card placed in the signature column of a passbook. When the card is removed, the trace of his
signature will be left. This can be used to compare with the signature on the customer’s
withdrawal slip under ultraviolet light.
Ultraviolet light certainly has many practical applications, but it may also be harmful to
human beings on some occasions. To everyone’s knowledge, the direct impact of the light on the
eyes for an excessive length of time may blind a person.
Even though it can cure certain skin diseases, it is also very harmful to the skin. A study
just completed in the United States says that the light may cause skin cancer. The ultraviolet rays
of the sun have been ranked as the third most dangerous cancer-causing agent after alcohol and
tobacco.
It is high time to warn sun-worshipper in the guest for a bronzed look to be careful of
excessive and uncontrolled exposure to hen sun.

34. We may conclude that the main information of the text about ….
A. the advantages and disadvantages of ultraviolet light
B. the use of ultraviolet light in business
C. the application of ultraviolet rays on human being
D. the effect of ultraviolet rays on human being
E. the danger of ultraviolet light to people’s health

35. The word “Excessive” on the last paragraph means ….

A. too much

Laptop as a Students' Friend

Conventionally, students need book, pen, eraser, drawing book, ruler and such other stuff.
Additionally, in this multimedia era, students need more to reach their progressive development.

more cost but it will deserve for its function.
First, modern schools tend to apply fast transferring knowledge because the school needs

Consequently students need extra media to cover the subject. Since there is a laptop on every
student’s desk, this method will help students to get better understanding.

an online shop which provides comprehensive information. The best is that the shop has service
of online shopping. The students just need to browse that online shop, decide which computer or
laptop they need, then complete the transaction. After that the laptop will be delivered to the

One of the most famous women in world history was Cleopatra VII. She was the brilliant
and beautiful last Pharaoh of Egypt. Historically, she became queen of Egypt in 51 B.C. at the
age of eighteen. She was a Ptolemy, descended from one of Alexander the Great's generals.
When she was twenty-one, Julius Caesar became her lover. Seven years later she met Antony.
The romantic tragic relationship continued until they died by suicide in 30 B.C.
Cleopatra was legendary. She was famous not only for her breathtaking beauty but also
for her great intellect. She had brown eyes and they were shaped like cat eyes. Her skin was in
fact an olive shade, darker than Hollywood actress Liz Taylor who portrayed her in the film
'Cleopatra' in 1963. She had medium dark brown hair, about to the middle of her shoulder blades.
She had a reputation as an extraordinarily sensuous woman.
Cleopatra was a woman of remarkable poise and unusual intelligence. She was highly

On May 16, 2010, people in most regions in the world have seen a very rare natural
phenomenon. It was Venus eclipse. It was a very rare amazing natural event. It was reported that
the Venus eclipse will be seen again in the future in 2050. Do you know how this rare Venus
eclipse happens?
Well, actually Venus eclipse is like Sun eclipse. Venus eclipses occurs when the position
of the earth, moon and Venus is parallel. Venus planet will slowly disappear for a moment
because it is covered the surface of the Moon. Venus planet seems to move to the back side of the
Moon.
The moon and planets are sharing a similar apparent path in the sky. That is why, it is not
unusual for the moon to appear to pass close to Venus. In fact, the moon appears somewhere near
it about once a month. However, most people don’t see these events because they are visible in
the evening sky only half the time, and then only for a short period after sunset. The apparent
closeness varies from month to month as well.

40. What is the main idea of the text?

A. How Venus eclipse happens.
B. Planet Venus.

The following text is for questions 42 to 43.

To improve comfort and cleanliness at the school, there should be an increasing number
of dust bins.
When we look at classroom, school corridors, and schoolyard, there are papers, mineral
water cups, straws, and napkins everywhere. The condition of unseemliness really hinders
learning and teaching environment. They can be filled out with water coming from the rain. This
can be a good place for mosquito to spread out.


Bahasa Inggris IPA/IPS/IPS A-04 Hak Cipta Dinas Pendidikan Propinsi Bali

14
 Anyway I notice that most of the students have responsibilities for their school
environment. They put their litter on the proper place but some of them are not diligent enough
to find the dust bins. The numbers of the dust bins in the school are not enough. More dust bins
should be put beside each step, outside the classrooms and some along of the corridors. Probably
one dust bin should be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw away their litters,
they can find the dust bins easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, students do not have problem of
discomfort anymore. So provide more dust bins and school will be very clean and become a very
nice place to study.

42. What is main idea of the paragraph?

A. More dust bins mean cleaner.
B. Students are careless on their litter.
C. Schools are a place to litter by some students.
D. Garbage is a nice place for mosquitoes to spread out.
E. School should be a nice place to study.

43. What is not mentioned in the text as the effect of careless littering in school?
A. It hinders teaching environment.
B. It is a good place for mosquitoes to spread out.
C. School becomes a nice place to study.
D. Students have problem of discomfort.
E. It hinders learning environment.

The following text is for questions 44 to 45.

School uniforms are dress codes that are determined by the teaching institutions and
students have to follow the designed code obediently every day. Many people believe that school
uniforms should be applied but the others don't.
Uniforms have various advantages for both the family and the child. A united school
apparel can relief a financial stress of the backs of many families. As kids tend to compete and
imitate each other, the race of following new trends in fashion or, providing different attire for
every school day is considered a financial burden, not every family can afford it.
Additionally, a uniform creates a sense of equality between all pupils. Young kids tend to
judge others according to their look and what they wear. Uniting their school attire will draw
their attention to other criteria and, the only advantage of one student over another would be
personality, academic achievement or being good at sports.
On the other hand, as repetition can lead to boredom, children can get frustrated of
wearing same thing to school every day. Also, prevent their first steps of individuality by taking
away their right to choose what to wear on their own free well.
In conclusion, I believe uniform isn’t meant to suppress the creativity or freedom of
children. It helps redirecting kids’ creativity towards more important things than outer look, and
waive financial burden of their families.

The following text is for questions 46 to 48.

‘Future World’, the latest movie by Global Studio, stars Rick Wycket and Amelia
Lightheart. This high-budget, futuristic fantasy broke box office records in the first week. The
story is based on the idea of the world being plunged into an ice age by a nuclear war. The few
remaining face life in a harsh environmental without technology.
The producer obviously spent much of their budget on stunning visual effects. The
techno-wizard used the latest digital techniques to create impressive setting that is completely
believable.
Less believable is the wicked performance of Wycket, who was reputedly paid ( or over –
paid) three million for his role. For a fantasy, his acting is not fantastic, in contrast to Lightheart,
a fresh talent who will undoubtedly become a star.
The screenwriter fails to provide a credible story-line. The plot has more holes than a
Swiss cheese and leaves too many questions unanswered. This is the real downfall of this
expensive project.
Overall, this is a very average movie. The only benefit of seeing it on the big screen is the
visual effects. Save your money and see it at home for half the price when it searches the small
screen.
