Questions number 25 27 refer to the following text Carbohydrates, which are sugars, are essential part of healthy diet. They provide the main source of energy for the body, and they also function to flavor and sweeten foods. Carbohydrates range from simple sugars like glucose to complex sugars such as amylopectin. Nutritionist estimate that carbohydrates should make up about one-fourth to one-fifth of a persons diet. This translates to about 75 100 grams of carbohydrates per day. A diet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have and adverse effect on an persons health. When the body lacks a sufficient amount of carbohydrates it must then use its protein supplies for energy, a process calles gluconeogenesis. This however, result in a lack of necessary protein, and furthet health difficulties may occur.

Text 5 Questions number 28 34 refer to the following text. HYDROPONICS : FARMING WITHOUT SOIL Hydroponics is an unconventional growing technique. It is the cultivation of plants in water. The idea of hydroponics comes from the assumption that plants do not need soil such as. They need only the nutrients and moisture in the soil, and these can be supplied through gravel beds that contain water. Hydroponics is not a new process. As long ago as 1690, an English physician tried growing plants. Many of the formulas for plant nutrient solutions which are still in use today. About a generation age, hydroponics moved out of the research laboratory into commercial use. In

1936 a Californian physiologist, W.F. Gerick, published guidelines for hydroponic agriculture. One of the leading companies in the field of Hydroponics Incorporated of Glendale, Arizona. It operates about 200 greenhouses on a 48 hectare site. It producers more than 2.7 million kilograms of fruit and vegetables each year mostly tomatoes, but also cucumbers, lettucces and melons. Crop yields are excellent : for examples each nature tomato plant produces an average of 12.1 kilos of fruit in a year of two growing cycles. This compares with about 9 kilos for two crops of the average seoll grown plant. Everything is carefully controlled in the greenhouses: the temperature, the humidity, and the air circulation, wind, hall, frost, drought, weeds and insects are all excluded. In recent years, hydroponic farming has been expanding in many parts of the world. A hydroponics farm operated by the government of Kuwait produces fresh tomatoes at a desert site near the capital city. At Puerto Penasco, Mexico, and on Sadiyat Island in Abu dhabi, experimental hydroponics farms use sea water that is desalinated by special instllations located on the coast.

Text 6 Questions number 35 38 refer to the following text. A pilot cannot fly a plane by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is examplified by what happens when one shouts in cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radion waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300.000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out of short burst of radian waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce of objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word radar, in fact, gets its name from the term: radio detection and ranging. Ranging is the term for detection of distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather system and storms.

35. According to the passage, what can radar detect besides location of objects ? a. Size b. Weight c. Speed

d. Shape e. Sound 36. Which of the following words best describes thetone of this passage? a. Argumentative b. Imaginative c. Humorous d. Explanatory e. Hortatory 37. Which type of waves does radar use? a. Light b. Heat c. Radio d. Sound e. Ultraviolet 38. The word tracking is closest in meaning to . a. Fighting b. Repairing c. Glancing at d. Searching for e. Receiving

Text 7 Questions number 39 44 refer to the following text. VOLCANOES a volcanoe is a mountain surrounding an opening the earths crush. Steam, gases, lava, ashes and other materials are forced out almost continously from an active volcano. A dormant volcano, on the other hand, erupts at long intervlas. In an extinct volcano, the crater has long been closed up with cold, solid lava. Our earth was a sphere of gases which slowly cooled off from the outside, forming a thin

crust of cold, solid materials, containing hot liquid, magma, and gases. It was the very high pressure of the gases forcing the magma through weak parts i n the earths crust that dormed volcanoes. The eruptions of sea volcanoes caise high waves, flooding redions on the coasts. This happened when Krakatau erupted in 1883. The sound of the eruption was heard from places as far away as india, Irian and Australia, distances of 3,600 to 4,800 km from Krakatau. Around 18 cubic km of solid materials were thrown up. The skies above places as far always as the Southern Pasific, Africa and South America were darkened. 30 metre high waves flooded the coasts of West Java and Lampung, sweeping away villages and 35,000 people. However, volcanoes are also a great blessing. Volcanoes and moutains force the clouds to rise, and cool them off, causing them to drop the water they contain in the form of rain. The materials thrown up by volcanoes contain minerals needed by plants. The higher regions, being cool, are good for coffee, tea and other plantations. The woods on the slopes protect the soil against errosionm while the soil acts as a water reservoir giving water to the rivers. Volcanic eruptions may destroy life, but they also make the land fertile.

39. According to the text, there are kinds of volcano. a. one b. two c. three d. four e. five 40. Paragrapph tells us about how a volcano was formed a. 1 b. 2 c. 3 d. 4 e. 5 41. , but they also make the land fertile (the last paragraph). The word they refers to .

a. Minerals b. Mountains c. Volcanoes d. Water reservoirs e. Volcanic eruptions 42. These are the advantages of having a volcano, except a. It makes tha land fertile. b. It forces the clouds to be rain. c. It supplies minerals needed by plans. d. The volcanic eruption may destroy villages. e. The forest protects the soil against errosion. 43. Which one of these words are not closely associated with water? a. Ash b. Sea c. Rain d. Cloud e. Flood 44. Which one is not the result of Krakatau eruption? a. High waves swept away villages and many people. b. The coasts of West Java an Lampung were flooded. c. The skies of Africa and South America was darkened. d. The indians couldnt hear the sound of the eruption. e. The sound of the eruption could be heard from Australia.

Text 9 Questions number 48 50 refer to the following text. The tone for much discussion, over the last 400 years, of the nature of mind and body was

cartainly set by descartes. Cartesian dualism postulated an apparently unbridgeable gap between minds and bodies which drove some thinkers to materialism, others to idealism. 20th century thinkers have developed sophisticated versions of materialism, aided by recent discoveries about the nervous system and the brain. Some 20th century materialists have argued that mental states are identical with states of the brain, or reducible to them, in a way analogues to the way clouds are reducible to water droplets, or nations to individual citizens. Others have argued for the possibility of eliminating all references to thoughts and other mental notions in a completed account of the brain. Yet other thinkers have thought that descartes was conceptually confused. One of the most powerful accounts of mental states and acts developed in recent years is functionalism. Perhaps such mental things as thoughts, or fears, or beliefs, are nothing more than names for the way in which certain purely physical things function. Funcionalism is compatible with materialism, thought it does not enfail it in the way that identity thoey or eliminative materialism does.

Mental state and acts c. Materialism and idealism d. Cartesian dualism postulated e. Identity theory or eliminative materialism 50. What can we conclude from the text? a.

b. There is no relationship between the mental states and the states of the brain. c. The mental states are not identical with the states of the brain. d. There is a connection between the body and the brain. e. The brain has certain purely physical things function.
