The
following text is for questions 8 and 10.
Four
brothers, who were all good at tracking, met an Arab who asked them if they
had seen his missing camel.
The
four brothers asked the Arab whether the camel had lost its tail and wanted
to know if it was bearing a sack of grain on one side and a jar of honey on
the other.
To
his surprise all the questions were true about his camel. And this made the
Arab convinced that they were the thieves. So he brought them before a judge.
But
the explanation was simple.
The
first brother began, “ The camel had only gazed on the grass on one side of
the path, so it must be blind in the other eye. One of its hoofprints was
less marked than the others, and that means it must be lame in one foot.”
“As
for me,” said the second brother, “I noticed that all its dropping were in
one heap, instead of being spread around as usually happen, so I thought that
the camel must be missing its tail.”
“On
one side,” explained the third brother, “some wheat grains had fallen on the
path and the ants were carrying them away. On the other side of the path, the
flies were sucking at the drops of honey.”
There
upon the judge freed the four brothers, and took them into his own services.

the camel was lame because of ....

The
following text is for questions 14 to 16
When
my family was living in Sidney, we used to go to a place called Snow Mountain
because Sydney never has snow in winter. Well, the weather can get very very,
very cold, and the temperature could go as minus 5 degrees Celsius, but it
never snows. That was the reason why we liked going to Snow Mountains.
Our
first trip to Snow Mountains was very exciting. We went with a group of
foreign students from different parts of the world. We went by bus to
Canberra and then we went up to the mountain. And believe me, you need to be
an expert driver because the road was rough and wet. We had to go very slowly
and cautiously.
Luckily,
our driver was a real professional. He did a great job taking us to the
mountains, but I saw many good cars sliding off the roads. The police were
made busy by those accidents, but the police seemed to have anticipated the
situations. They had all kinds of equipment to help the poor cars.
When
we reached the resort area, a nice warm meal was waiting in a nice and warm
dining room. It was a relief. Then we had to hire the “Snow-Mountain gear”
like caps, scarves, thick jackets, and snow boots. We simply had to do that
or we would have been freezing to death. I felt really big and fat in that
outfit and I had to do learn how to walk in snow.
The
most exciting part was the toboggan ride. Toboggan is basically a fiberglass
board designed to slide down the snowy slopes. So I climbed up the hill and
then I sat down on the toboggan. I held on to ropes to steer and slid down
the hill. It turned out that my steering ropes weren't tied on correctly, so
I could not control my toboggan property. I slid down really fast without
being able to control where I was going. So I ended up plugging into a
freezing cold creek!
14. Why
was an expert driver needed to drive to Snow Mountain?
Because
....
A.
the roads were snowy
B.
the roads were slippery
C.
it was a comfortable trip
D.
there were a lot of accidents there
E.
it was the trip to the snowy mountains
15. “We
had to go very slowly and cautiously,” (Paragraph 2)
The
synonym of the underlined word is ....
A.
dangerously
B.
clumsily
C.
carefully
D.
anxiously
E.
patiently
16. Why
did the writer love to go to the snow mountains?
A.
He was living in Sydney.
B.
Sydney never has snow in winter.
C.
The weather is very cold.
D.
The temperature could go as minus 5 degrees.
E.
The way to the mountains was very challenging.

The
Incas used to be a large empire of 990 000km2 in Peru of South America. Their
city was high up in the Andes Mountains. They were well known for their great
wealth, especially gold. This great empire was unfortunately destroyed in an
attack by the Spaniards who were searching for their famed gold. Although
thus empire existed way back in 1493, it was not backward but complex and
well-organized.
The
empire was ruled by the Sapa Inca, Lord of the World, Son of the Sun. He
owned everything in the empire – the land, soil, gold and even the people.
The people, therefore, had no freedom.
Boys
and girls were to live a life of obedience and tradition. They began working
in their ayllu or family groups. The rule was Ama sun, ama ilulla, ama
shekilla, which means, “Do not steal, do not lie, do not be lazy.”
Despite
this difficult way of life, the Incas were skilful. They constructed drainage
system and underground water reservoirs. Their buildings were made from huge
stones. These were cut to fit perfectly together so that no mortar was
needed. Their rope bridges were so strong that even a horse could gallop
across them!
The
Incas had no written language. Information was recorded on knotted strings
called quipus. These were also used as calculators. Strong and healthy young
boys were chosen as chasquis or couriers to carry messages from one place to
another.

Technique of Teaching
The
Silent Way is one of the effective language teaching techniques. It is
pedagogical approach to language teaching based on the premise that the
teacher should be as silent as possible in the classroom (about 90 % of the
time). The learners, then, are encouraged to produce as much language as
possible. They have much time both to be exposed to the language and to
perform practice.
The
learning hypothesis behind the Silent Way is that learning is facilitated if
the learners discover or create rather than remembers and repeats what is to
be learned. Also, students learn more effectively through problem solving
involving the target language. It views language learning as a creative
problem-solving and discovering activity in which the learner is a principal
actor rather than a bench-bound listener.
Basically,
in learning teachers prepare their students to have problem solving skill.
And the Silent Way can be described as a problem-solving approach to language
learning, and is summed up nicely in Benyamin Franklin's words: “Tell me and
I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”
I
conclude that the Silent Way is an appropriate language teaching technique.
25. Which
approach is supporting the Silent Way in language teaching?
A.
Exposing the subject.
B.
Creating the subject.
C.
Asking the students to act as actors.
D.
Giving the students problems to solve.
E.
Asking the students to be good listeners.
26. The
purpose of the text is to ... to the readers what “Silent Way” is.
A.
improve
B.
declare
C.
introduce
D.
contribute
E.
remind
27. “The
Silent Way” is an approach for teaching language hoping that the students
will ....
A.
become principal actors
B.
repeat what is to be learned
C.
be able to solve their problems
D.
remember what has been taught
E.
produce as much language as possible
28. “It is
pedagogical approach ... as silent as possible in the classroom” (Paragraph
1)
The
synonym of the underlined word is ....
A.
weak
B.
patient

The
following text is for questions number 29 to 23.
Do Women Deserve Higher Education?
The
issue we are discussing is whether women need higher education or not. Some
people think that there is no use for women to get higher education, for
women's main role is in their household and surroundings. Thus, knowing about
practical household management is sufficient for women to lead their lives.
In
addition, higher education does not ensure women to get better life, so why
bother about this? There are many examples of women who are successful in
their lives although they only enjoy average education. They succeed in
managing their household, educating their children and participating in
community activities.
On
the other hand, some other people believe that women also have the right to
get higher education. They claim that education is important for anyone
including women, because it is one way to improve the quality of life.
Therefore, every woman must get education as high as she can achieve.
A
further point they make is that higher education is not just the matter of
achieving a better position in community or working environment. More
importantly, it is the way to empower women and to give them better
understanding of life and universe.
In
other words, women have the same right to get higher education as men do.
However, it is also their right to take the chance or just to leave it.

Both paragraphs support that women have the same right as men to get higher
education.

Both paragraphs argue that women don't have the same right as men to get
higher education.
C.
Unlike the second paragraph, the fourth paragraph argues that education is
important for anyone.
D.
Unlike the fourth paragraph, the second paragraph argues that higher
education does not ensure women to get better life.
E.

paragraph fourth does not.
