Text A
The laws of radioactive decay hypothesize that once a living organism is dead, it  does not interact with anything in its environment which would afffect the speed of decay of the unstable isotope of carbon 14. The C-14 is attached to organic molecules through photosynthesis in plants and becomes part of their molecular makeup. Animals eating those plants absorb Carbon-14 and the process of ingesting C-14 continues as long as the plants and animals are alive. Once the organism dies, the ratio of C-14 within its carcass starts to decrease.

The radiocarbon dating method is widely used to determine the age of remains of living organisms.  With this method, the type of sample and the placement of it within a site are taken into account.  The date assigned to the sample successfully collected will initially be  given as a raw B.P. or “before present”. The “present” is set at the year 1950 on the Gregorian calender. The rate of decrease is ½ the quantity at death every 5.730 years, the half life of C-14. The date is usually callibrated with dendrochronology method to get a more absolute B.P.

Text B
The potassium-argon age method is another method widely used by archeologists and geologists to determine the time of origin of rocks. This is the most viable technique for dating old rocks because archeologists can use it to date rocks as much as 4 billion years old.  Yet, it is not suitable to measure the age of rock 20,000 years before present. This method is widely used in archeology, particularly in East Africa.

This can be done by calculating the ratio of radioactive argon to radioactive potassium in the rock sample. Some of the radioactive isotope of Potassium, Potassium-40 (K-40) decays through a process of radiometric decay. Through beta decay, it results in calcium-40 and this occurs in almost 90% of cases. In molten rocks,  it produces the gas Argon (known as Argon-40). The age of a certain rock can be determined through the calculation of the ratio and the decay rate of K-40. In this method, the rocks are heated to the melting point, and any Ar-40 contained is released into the atmosphere.  When the rock recrystallizes, the decay of Potassium-40 continues at a constant rate but the argon-40 cannot escape and the gas is trapped in the rock. The amount of argon-40 is measured with a mass spectometer, while the potassium levels are measured using atomic absorpsion spectometry.

On the other hand, stereotyping can create problem because it, researchers suggest,  may result in  racial discrimination. In its most overt form, racial discrimination occurs as we attribute the same negative characteristics to all members of a group, regardless of individual differences. It is usually based on misconceptions, incomplete information and/or false generalizations.

Researchers have found that stereotypes exist of different races, cultures, or ethnic groups  and racial stereotypes always seem to favor the race of the holder, and belittle the others. In 1933, for example, Katz and Braly gave a list of 84 personality traits and asked American university students  to pick out five or six traits which they thought were typical of each nationalities/ ethnic group. The result shows that there was considerable agreement in the traits selected. White americans, for example, were seen as industrious, progressive, and ambitious, while African Americans were seen  lazy, ignorant, and musical.

In other research, Lowery examined just how readily people associate particular social groups with certain kinds of feelings. In a subliminal word-association exercise, black people’s faces were more quickly  associated with negative words, while white faces were linked with postitive words.

Another research proves that even people who disavow prejudice can fall into racist traps. Since negative stereotypes about various racial groups bombard us everyday in the mass media , they deposit their residue deep into our minds. Even among the most well-intentioned and consciously egalitarian people, nonconscious association about ethnic groups still have an effect on behavior and attitudes.

1. The part proceeding the text above most likely discusses ...

A.To avoid the use of stereotype.
B.To be aware of the disadvantage of stereotyping.
C.Not to practice prejudice and racial discrimination.
D.To fall into racist trap.
E.To have further research on stereotyping.

4. How is the information in the text organized?
A.Stereotype and racial discrimination are defined.
B.Problems of stereotyping are categorized.
C.Research findings about racial discrimination through stereotypes are described

What causes bulimia nervosa is not clear, but it may be due to a combination of family history, certain personality traits (such as perfectionism) and social values (such as admiring thinness). The risk for developing bulimia intensifies if your parent or sibling has the condition. Stressful events such as divorce or the death of a loved one can trigger bulimia in some people, mostly teenagers and young women. Also, many young women have unhealthy attitudes toward eating and toward their bodies so they may socially allow and promote destructive behaviors like extreme dieting or binging and purging.

If not properly treated, bulimia can lead to long-term health problems. Health problems caused by bulimia include electrolyte imbalances and heart problem, tooth decay, osteoporosis, dehydration and kidney problem, inflammation, swollen saliva glands, fainting, abnormal heartbeat, low body temperature, suicide risk, etc. There are also other mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety,  borderline personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks and phobias.

Like all eating disorders, bulimia is a complex physical and psychological condition that requires appropriate treatment. The treatment focuses on the change of behavior and deals with the deeper attitudes and feeling in order to avoid the binge-purge cycles. The treatment may be in form of psychological counseling (such as cognitive-behavioral therapy CBT, or iterpersonal therapy)  or antidepressant medicine. Both are long-term treatments that may need weeks or months to work.

There are also other treatments which may be helpful.  Nutritional counceling may help avoid unhealthy diets. Group counceling may enhance individual therapy. Family therapy may also help family member as it teaches about the disorder and the way to help. Stress management techniques (such as exercising, writing, relaxation) may also create better self respect.



1. Which of the following best states the topic of this text?
A.The combination of causes of bulimia
B.The cause and treatment of bulimia

Passage A 

Secondhand smoke is the smoke that is exhaled or that comes from the burning end of a cigarette, pipe, or cigar. Secondhand smoke can come in through cracks in the walls. It can hang around in hallways and doorways where people have been smoking. Breathing someone else’s smoke can be deadly, especially if you live or work in a place where people smoke. That is why it is so important for smokers to go all the way outside if they want a cigarette. When one person smokes inside, it can cause problems for everyone else. Children who are around tobacco smoke in their homes have more health problems like asthma and ear infections. They are sicker and stay in bed more. They miss more school days than children whose homes are smoke-free. Babies who live in homes with secondhand smoke are more likely to die as infants than other babies.

Passage B
The first conclusive evidence on the danger of passive smoking came from Takeshi Hirayama’s study in 1981 on lung cancer in non smoking Japanese women married to men who smoked. Although the tobacco industry immediately launched a multi million dollar campaign to discredit the evidence, dozens of further studies have confirmed the link. Research then broadened into other areas and new scientific evidence continues to accumulate. The risk of lung cancer in nonsmokers exposed to passive smoking is increased by between 20 and 30 percent, and the excess risk of heart disease is 23 percent. Children are at particular risk from adults’ smoking. Adverse health effects include pneumonia and bronchitis, coughing and wheezing, worsening of asthma, middle ear diseases, and possibly neuro-behavioural impairment and cardiovascular diseases in adulthood. A pregnant woman’s exposure to other people’s smoking can harm her fetus. The effects are compounded when the child is exposed to passive smoking after birth.

41. Which of the following themes is mainly discussed in the passages?
A. The illnesses linked to passive smoking.
B. The disadvantages of smoking.
C. The danger of becoming smokers
D. The benefit of being a non smoker
E. The danger of being a passive smoker

42. Which of the following opinions is mentioned in both passages?
A. Serious diseases in smokers may result from chain smoking.
B. Active smokers’ smoke endangers passive smokers.
C. Smoking endangers smokers living with nonsmokers.
D. Evidence on the danger of passive smoking is conclusive.
E. Smoking affects the health of a baby of a pregnant woman.

43. The idea of Passage A is similar to that of Passage B, in that it is ... .
A. a chance to escape from several deadly illnesses due to smoking.
B. A good decision for smokers to live without smoking habits.
C. A great benefit for pregnant woman to live without smoking.
D. An unfortunate for nonsmokers to live without smoking habits
E. A list of several health risks for nonsmokers who live with smokers.

44. Both passages can be best summarized as which of the following?
A. Smokers and non-smokers are likely to get smoking-related diseases.
B. Children and pregnant women tend to get various diseases
C. Children of smoking pregnant women will be likely to smoke.
D. Many smokers will not have serious health problems in their life.
E. Non-smokers living with smokers are likely to get health problems.

45. Based on the passages, it can be hypotheszed that ... .
A. by avoiding passive smoking, chances of getting deadly illnesses are lesser.
B. More people will surely die in the environment of smokers.
C. Home settings determine whether somebody will smoke or not.
D. A baby born from a mother who smokes will tend to be a smoker.
E. Evidence of lung cancer will be greater in the baby of a smoking mother.

Everyone likes to group thimngs. Language students group word as verbs, nouns and so on; collections of words are classified as phrases, or clauses, or sentences, and these again are reclassified according to their function. In the same way, botanistsw classify plants as algae, or fungi, or gymnosperms, etc. Zoologysts classify animals as vertrebrates and investibrates. The vetrebrates can be further classified as mammals, reptiler, birds, fish, etc. Classification enables us to keep hold of more information and, if it is based on the right data, enables us to understand better the ideas we are studying.

Chemists are no exception. The chemical classification of materials, if it is based on a good system, should enable us to understand better the many substances which exist in our word. What is to be the basis of our classification? Perhaps the most obvious one is appearance. Materials could be classified as solid, liquid or gas with some mixed types as, for example, mud being solid/liquid material and steam a liquid/gas material. Appearance could enable us to subdivide our main classification groups a little further; the solid may be green, or black, powdery or crystalline; the liquid may be colored, oily, thick, or free flowing; the gas may be colored. However, we soon realize that many probably quite different materials have the same appearance. Both air and the deadly carbon-monoxide gas, are colorless, odorless gases, but we would not like to group them as the same thing. Many different liquids are colorless, water-like materials.

1. The examples provided in paragraph 2 clarify that ... .
A. many kinds of liquid should be grouped as one
B. different kinds of gas can be colorless and odorless.
C. Materials in chemistry should be classified differently
D. Chemistry materials have more complicated classification.
E. Taxonomy can be made and applied further to other areas.

2. Paragraph 2 exemplifies the idea about classification that ... .
A. chemicals may be solid, liquid, and gaseous.
B. Appearance is not a useful basis in chemistry.
C. The use of colors is better than that of appearance.
D. Both colors and appearance should be considered
E. Colors should be included for identifying appearance.

3. The sentences “Chemist are no exception” (paragraph 2 line 1) colud possibly be restated as ... .
A. chemical materials can also be put into classification.
B. Classification of chemical materials is without exception.
C. Chemists may also classify materials using certain criteria.
D. When appearance is the basis, chemist are not involved.
E. In material classification, chemicals should not be included.

4. The paragraph following the passage most likely deals with the classification of ... .
A. flora and fauna
B. human sounds
C. liquids and gases
D. human behaviors
E. words and phrases.

5. How does the author organize the ideas ?
A. Putting the main idea with examples.
B. Presenting causes followed by effects
C. Interpreting different ways of classifying
D. Presenting the strengths ways of classifying
E. Exposing supporting details chronologically

Bacalah teks berikut untuk menjawab soal nomor 1 sampai dengan nomor 5!

In their latest paper, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, Prof. Philip Munday and colleagues report world-first evidence that high CO2 levels in sea water disrupts a key brain receptor in fish, causing marked changes in their behavior and sensory ability. They began by studying how baby clown and damsel fishes performed alongside their predators in CO2 enriched water. They found that, while the predators were somewhat affected, the baby fish suffered much higher rates of attrition.

“Our early work showed that the senses of smell of baby fish was harmed by higher CO2 in the water, meaning they found it harder to locate a reef to settle on or detect the warning smell of a predator fish. But we suspected there was much more to it than the loss of ability to smell, “ says Prof. Munday. The team then examined whether fish’s senses of hearing which are used to locate and hone in on reefs at night, and avoid them during the day was affected. “ The answer is, yes it was. They were confused and no longer avoided reef sounds during the day. Being attracted to reef during daylight would make them easy meat f or predators”

Their work showed the fish also tended to lose their natural instinct to turn left or right which is an important factor in schooling behaviour which also makes them more vulnerable, as lone fish are easily eaten by predators. Prof. Munday further explains, “All this led us to suspect it wasn't simply damage to their individual senses that was going on -but rather, that higher levels of carbon dioxide were affecting their whole central nervous system”.

1. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage ?
A. To investigate the increase of carbon dioxide level in sea water.
B. To contrast the influence of carbon dioxide on predators and fish.
C. To predict the impacts of poor senses of fishes on coral reefs.
D. To inform the effects of high carbon dioxide in sea water on fish.
E. To argue over the agility of fish exposed to high carbon dioxide.

2. Paragraphs 2 and 3 are related in that the first ... .
A. argues for causes; the latter deals with conclusion.
B. Describes loss of senses; the latter loss of reactions.
C. Deals with causes; the latter presents further evidence.
D. Theorizes the role of O2; the latter describes the effect.
E. Lists the results of the study; the latter explains the results.

3. The word “them” in’ ... and avoid them during the day ... ‘ (paragraph 2 line 9) refers to ... .
A. CO2
