from flowers. They have antennae almost universally made up of 13 segments in males and 12 in
females, as is typical for the super family. Bees all have two pairs of wings, the hind pair being the
smaller of the two; in a very few species, one sex or caste has relatively short wings that make
flight difficult or impossible, but none are wingless.
The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a stingless bee whose workers are about 2.1 mm (5/64")
long. The largest bee in the world is Megachile pluto, a leafcutter bee whose females can attain a
length of 39 mm (1.5"). Members of the family Halictidae, or sweat bees, are the most common type

A kangaroo is an animal found only in Australia, although it has a smaller relative, called
wallaby, which lives on the Australian island of Tasmania and also in New Guinea.
Kangaroos eat grass and plants. They have short front legs, but very long and very strong
back legs and a tail. These they use for sitting up on and for jumping. Kangaroos have been known to
make forward jumps of over eight meters, and leap across fences more than three meters high.
They can also run at speeds of over 45 kilometers per hour.

length of 1.60 meters and weigh over 90 kilos.

Read the following text and answer the questions 97 to 100

Birds belong to a class of warm blooded vertebrate animals with feather covered bodies.
Next to the mammals, birds are the most important group of land-living vertebrates. All birds have
feathers, although in some types, particularly those that can not fly, the normal structure of the
feathers may be much modified and be downy, woolly, or straw like. The forelimbs of birds are
modified into wings. The bony part of the tail, except in the very earliest fossil birds, is very short,
and the visible tail is composed of feathers only. The teeth are absent except in some fossil forms.
As in mammals-the only other group of warm blooded animal-the circulation is highly perfected so
that there is no mixing of arterial and venous blood, but the arrangement of veins and arteries by
which this is accomplished, is different in the two groups. Birds have keen hearing, although they
have no external ears. The sense of sight also is very keen, but the sense of smell is weak or
lacking, except in a small few vultures and other birds.
97. The passage is about the …… of birds.
a. Species c. Clarification e. characteristics
b. Definition d. Classification
98. From the text we can conclude that both birds and mammals have …….
a. Backbones c. Keen hearing e. weak sense of smell
b. keen sights d. downy feathers
99. Which of the following is NOT possessed by bird?
a. Feathers c. Teeth e. ears
b. Wings d. Tails
100. “Birds have keen hearing, although they have no external ears”

 Contoh Soal Teks Report about Laptop dan Jawaban
A laptop is a kind of computer unit which has the same function as a PC (Personal
Computer), but it is smaller, lighter and of different sizes. Nowadays, most people choose
laptops for several reasons.

A laptop is a portable device. This portability is very helpful for our work, study and other
activities. We do not need complicated cable installations to activate a laptop, and with a
laptop, we can do our work anytime anywhere.

Moreover, a laptop allows us to access the internet in public places which provide free
access called hot spot areas. Some people like to use this facility to carry out their tasks.

Finally, a laptop consumes energy more efficiently than a PC does. This device uses a
rechargeable battery as a source of electric energy. So if we prefer using a laptop, it means
that we support the government program to save energy.

That’s why a laptop has become very popular recently.

1. A public place where we can have free access to the internet is a/an…
a. Free access
b. Hot spot
c. Internet installation
d. Laptop facility
e. Hot spot area

2. A laptop has become very popular because…

a. It is portable
b. It allows us to access internet
c. It gives several benefits to the user
d. It doesn’t need complicated cable installation
e. We can do our work with it anytime anywhere

3. From the text we know that…

a. A laptop is usually more expensive than a PC
b. More people like a laptop better than PC
c. More people like a PC better than a laptop

Teks Recount Beserta Soal Jawaban (Biography: Faraday)
This text is for questions 1 to 3.

Faraday studied the magnetic field around a conductor carrying a DC electric current. While
conducting these studies, Faraday established the basis for the electromagnetic field concept
in physics, subsequently enlarged upon by James Maxwell. He similarly discovered
electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and laws of electrolysis. He established that
magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between
the two phenomena. His inventions of electromagnetic rotary devices formed the
foundation of electric motor technology, and it was largely due to his efforts that electricity
became viable for use in technology.

As a chemist, Michael Faraday discovered benzene, investigated the clathrate hydrate of

chlorine, invented an early form of the Bunsen burner and the system of oxidation numbers,
and popularized terminology such as anode, cathode, electrode, and ion.

Although Faraday received little formal education and knew little of higher mathematics,
such as calculus, he was one of the most influential scientists in history. Historians of
science refer to him as the best experimentalist in the history of science. The SI unit of
capacitance, the farad, is named after him, as is the Faraday constant, the charge on a mole
of electrons (about 96,485 coulombs). Faraday’s law of induction states that magnetic flux
changing in time creates a proportional electromotive force.

Faraday was the first and foremost Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution
of Great Britain, a position to which he was appointed for life.

Albert Einstein kept a photograph of Faraday on his study wall alongside pictures of Isaac
Newton and James Clerk Maxwell.

Faraday was highly religious. He was a member of the Sandemanian Church, a Christian
sect founded in 1730 that demanded total faith and commitment. Biographers have noted
that a strong sense of the unity of God and nature pervaded Faraday’s life and work.

1. What was Michael Faraday expert?

A. science, history and religion
B. chemistry, electricity and calculus
C. electronic, technology and religion
D. chemistry, physic and mathematics
E. physic, technology and photography

2. Which of the following statements closely relates to Michael Faraday?

A. Michael Faraday dedicated his life in science and religion.
B. Michael Faraday was downhearted his life in science.
C. Michael Faraday concentrated his life in technology.
D. Michael Faraday was one of successful scientists.
E. Michael Faraday poured his science in technology.

3. Based on the first paragraph, we conclude that ….

A. Faraday and James found the similar electromagnetic
B. Faraday found the electromagnetic induction
C. James discovered a DC electric current
D. James invented the motor technology
E. Faraday found the motor technology
