Question number 10 is based on the following monolog.

People are familiar with lizards. Lizards are included in the group of 3.800 scaly-skinned reptiles.
They have no control over their body’s temperature. Therefore, lizards have to rely on the sun to keep
themselves warm. This is the reason why they only live in regions with warmer climates and expose
themselves to the sun every day. Lizards are able to move in various ways. They can run, scamper, slither
and some can even glide. However, their limbs stick out sideways, unlike mammals’ limbs, that protrude
downwards.

My Most Unforgettable Holiday
In 2015, I went to Derawan Island with my friends and that marks my most memorable
holiday ever!
In June, our school was having summer holiday, so we thought to ourselves that it
shouldn't go to waste. We quickly browsed the internet to find a good holiday destination
and after an hour of heated debate, the four of us agreed to give Derawan Island a try. It
was purely out of curiousity as none of us had been there before.
We arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 05.30 a.m. as the flight was
at 07.00 a.m. First, we flew to Balikpapan and waited for about an hour to continue the
flight to Berau. As soon as we touched down in Berau, my friend called the tour agent that
we had contacted earlier in Jakarta. They had got a car ready to take us to Labuan Batu.

From Labuan Batu, we took a speedboat for about an hour to Derawan Island. It was such
a long trip to Derawan but it all paid off as soon as we saw how beautiful the island was.
My friends and I were quickly ushered to our rooms in the resort. It was fantastic!
The rooms were in a cottage that was situated right above the sea. So we only had to step
out the terrace to find ourselves out in the open sea! After unpacking our luggages and
washing up, we went to the dining hall to grab our dinner. The dinner was only simple
seafood dishes. The surrounding totally enhanced the dining experience, making the food
taste much better.
The following day, we took a speedboat tour, hopping from one island to another
Our first trip stop was Kakaban Island where we hiked to reach the lake and swam among
stingless jellyfish. The last time I heard, there were only three places in the world that
have stingless jellyfish; two of them in Indonesia! Isn't that great? The next stop was the
Sangalaki Island where we got to visit sea turtle conservation and took lots of pictures
with sea turtle babies. They were so cute!
Our last stop was the Maratua Island where we were able to feed fish and see a
three-legged sea turtle. The three-legged sea-turtle wasn't born that way. We were told that
it was swimming in the open sea when it was still a baby then its leg got caught in plastic
trash and couldn't grow even when the sea-turtle reached adulthood. One of the island's
guards saw the sea-turtle and saved it. He also untangled the plastic trash that bound the
sea-turtle's leg but it was too late. Since then, the sea-turtle is kept in a special space next
to the resort in Maratua Island and the guards take turns feeding it to ensure its survival.
This is why we should never litter and endanger other creatures! After Maratua Island, we
headed back to Derawan Island to catch a late dinner and turned in.
The following morning, we wake up early and ate our breakfast in the dining
room. Then, the driver drove us back to the airport so we could catch a flight back to
Jakarta. We arrived at Jakarta, exhausted but terribly happy! It was the most unforgettable
trip I have ever experienced so far!

Try the following tips
1. Stay out of the sun during peak hours. While these times may vary slightly depending
on the season and where you live. You should be indoors if all possible between 10:00
and 15:00.
2. Keep covered up. Floppy hats and large umbrellas work well and so do cover-ups.
Long-sleeved cotton shirts are excellent for hiking, cycling etc; see your sports store for
special brands that allow breathing as well as cover-up.
3. Use sunscreen on any exposed areas. An SPF of 45+ is recommended for it allows even
the fairest skinned folks to stay out in the sun for a few hours before reapplying. Try
chopstick on your lips. Follow the instructions on sunscreen carefully. Always reapply
after leaving the water, as it’ll have washed off.
4. Don’t forget hard-to-reach places. Don’t forget to cover the backs of your knees, back
of your neck, elbows and back of your ears (if you have short hair). Feet should also be
included if you are wearing sandals, flip-flops or going bare-foot. Even these places can
hurt a lot with sunburn.
5. Don’t lie in the sun purposefully seeking a tan. This is not only damaging to your skin
but might burn you the first few times you try it at the beginning of the season. If you
want to tan, do it gradually and sensibly, with short exposure and building up over time.
6. Put a small amount of oil or sunscreen in your hair so you will avoid burning your
scalp. Or cover it with a hat. Some shampoos and hair conditioners contain SPF
protection.

Komodo Dragons not Under Stress: Head of Komodo national Park.

The Head of East Nusa Tenggara’s (NTT) Komodo National Park, Sudiyono, has denied reports
saying that komodo dragons at the park are under stress as a result of tourists.
The komodo dragons are comfortable, so far,. There may be a change in attitude, but they are not
stressed. When the animal is stressed out, they become aggressive and until now there hasn’t been any
aggressive behavior,” Sudiyono told Kompas Travel on Monday.
His remarks came as a response to reports saying that an increase in the number of visitors at the park
caused stress on the lizard species, the largest in the world.
Sudiyono said no special studies were carried out that proved the komodo dragons were stressed,
however, he noted that the dragons were more aggressive if they were disturbed while eating.
“The komodo dragons will be more when they are eating or being disturbed while eating. If they have
finished eating but they see something moving, their instincts will tell them that [the moving object] is
food,” he said.
Speaking on recent cases in which visitors were attacked by komodo dragons, Sudiyono said the
attacks occurred because the visitors were not with their guide. Visitors must be accompanied by a guide
at all times, according to the park rules.
In regard to the rising number of visitors, Sudiyono said the situation was automatically controlled by
the limited number of available guides and the visitors taking in other activities, such as diving,
snorkeling, and island-shopping.
Head of the NTT tourism office, Marius Ardu Jelamu, previously expressed concerns over the
supposedly stressed - out komodo dragons.
“I’ve received a lot of insight from foreign tourists, some from Singapore and Europe. When they
visited, they saw how visit patterns were not managed well due to the high number of visitors in the
park,” he said.

27. According to the previous report, komodo dragons in the park were under stress due to ....
A. Bad weather
B. Visitors’ bad behavior
C. The lack of food and water
D. The poor management of the park.
E. The increasing number of visitors
28. What condition shows that komodo dragons are under stress?
A. Aggressive
B. Sensitive.
C. Afraid.
D. Lazy.
E. Shy.

29. What should people do, due to the news?

This text is for questions 31 to 34.

Recycling is important in today’s world if we want to leave this planet for our future
generations. It is good for the environment, since we are making new products from the old
products which are of no use to us. There are many reasons why it’s important to recycle as
much as possible.
Making new products out of recycled materials reduces the need to consume
precious resources. So recycling helps protect raw materials and protect natural habitats for
the future.
Using recycling materials in the manufacturing process uses considerably less
energy than that required for producing new products from raw materials.
Recycling reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining
and processing raw materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution. As
recycling saves energy, it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle
climate change.
There are over 1,500 landfill sites in the UK and, in 2001, these sites produced a
quarter of the UK’s emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that is released as the
biodegradable waste (such as food and paper) decomposes. Existing landfill sites are filling
up fast and there is very limited space for new ones.
A massive reduction in the amount of waste we send to landfill is required if we are
to avoid the heavy fines and the landfill taxes that are being imposed by Central
Government on councils that exceed their landfill allowances. Increases in your Council
Tax or service cuts in other areas would be the only way of paying these penalties.

31.What does the text highlight?

A. Reasons to recycle.
B. Conserving the energy.
C. Protecting the environment.
D. Environmental construction.
E. Saving money through recycling.

32.We know from the text that ... if we recycle.

A. landfill sites will decrease
B. climate change will continue
C. more new products will be reduced
D. natural habitats will never be affected
E. air and water pollution will be affected
