Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown
away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic
spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new
products.

In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy
than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand
for high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the
manufacturing process.

Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office
paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old
newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum
foil. The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp
in a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to
remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from
the paper fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or
burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper
again.

Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month.
Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One
ton of recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

The following text is for questions no. 20 - 22

Tsunami occurs when major fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The displaced rock
pushes water above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful water waves at the ocean
surface. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the earthquake source and move
across the ocean until they reach the coastline, where their height increases as they reach the
continental shelf, the part of the earth crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor up to the
land.

A tsunami washes ashore with oftendisastrous effects such as severe flooding, loss of lives due
to drowning and damage to property.

A tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a disturbance along the ocean floor.
This disturbance can be an earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A tsunami is
undetectable far out in the ocean, but once it reaches shallow water, this fast traveling wave
grows very large.

20. Tsunami happens because ....

A. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the source
B. The displaced rock pushes water above it
C. A major fault under the ocean floor slips suddenly
D. The waves moves across the ocean until they reach the beach
E. A tsunami is undetectable far out in the ocean

PH 2 ING 1/XI /SEM 2/2020/PF Page 6

 21. What are the impacts of tsunami?
A. The part of the Earth’s crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor down to the land
B. A tsunami washes ashore with often disastrous effects such as flooding and loss of lives
C. A tsunami is a very large sea wave which is not generated by a disturbance a long the
ocean  floor
D. A tsunami is detectable far out in the ocean
E. Once tsunami reaches shallow water, the wave never grows very large

22. “... producing powerful water waves at the ocean surface.” The synonym of the
word  POWERFUL is ...
A. Strong      B. Fast  C. Deep  D. Quick   E. Weak

An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates
seismic waves. Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer, also known as a seismograph.
The moment magnitude of an earthquake is conventionally reported, or the related and mostly
obsolete Richter magnitude, with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being mostly imperceptible
and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas. Intensity of shaking is measured on
the modified Mercalli scale.

At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by a shaking and sometimes

displacement of the ground. When a large earthquake epicenter is located offshore, the seabed
sometimes suffers sufficient displacement to cause a tsunami. The shaking in earthquakes can
also trigger landslides and occasionally volcanic activity.

 In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event-whether
a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans—that generates seismic waves.
Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults, but also by volcanic activity,
landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments.

An earthquake's point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The term epicenter
means the point at ground level directly above this.

23. What is the text mainly about?

A. Seismograph       B. Hypocenter C. Earthquake   
D. Seismometer E. Natural phenomenon

 24. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To explain how earthquake occurs    B. To expose the danger of earthquake
C. To tell the past occurrence of earthquake D. To report the occurrence of earthquake 
E. To describe different kinds of earthquake

Gelatin is a protein substance that comes from the skins and bones of animals. Most people
know it as the substance used to make a jellylike salad or dessert. Not only is it useful in making
these foods, but it is also beneficial to the consumer because of its high protein content. Gelatin

PH 2 ING 1/XI /SEM 2/2020/PF Page 7

 is also commonly used in the photographic industry and in making medicinal capsules.

The process for producing gelatine is a long and complex one.

In the processing of gelatine made from bones, which varies slightly from that of gelatine make
from skin, the grease first must be eliminated.

Then, the bones are soaked in a solution of hydrochloric acid in order to rid them of minerals
and are washed several ties in water.

Next, the bones are placed in distilled water, heated to over 90oF for a few hours, placed in
fresh distilled water, and then heated again at a little over 100oF. A fluid forms from this heating,
and it is concentrated, chilled, and sliced.

Finally, it is dried and ground. In its final form, gelatine is white, tasteless, and odourless.
 
 
25. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. A Great Dessert B. Protein Foods         C. The Process of Making Gelatin

B. The process of producing gelatine.

E. The importance of fresh water.

27. “…the grease first must be eliminated.” (Paragraph 2)

How Is Dust Useful to Us?

 
Most people think that dust is very harmful to us. But this is not true. Dust is, in fact, very useful,
and therefore, it is essential to know what dust is and how it is formed.

Every solid substance is composed of very small particles. When these small particles of matter
are scattered, they become dust particles. For example, if we go on breaking a brick or a stone
into small pieces, it will turn into small particles. These particles get mixed with air and they are
called dust particles. The air then carries dust particles from one place to another.

There are different ways by which dust is formed. When solid substance breaks, dust is formed.
Smoke generated by the burning of coal, wood, petrol, etc. also produces dust. Dust particles
also come from dead plants, sea salt, desert, volcanic sand, etc. The particles of the earth’s
surface also fly in the air in the form of dust.

The biggest use of the dust particles is that they help in the formation of the rains. The water
vapors in the clouds condense on the dust particles in the form of water-drops. These drops fall
on the earth as rains. The absence of dust particles can delay the rain. Likewise, mist, fog, etc.

 are also formed due to the presence of dust particles.

28. Every solid substance is made of….

A. very small particles    B. dust particles mixed with air
C. small pieces of matters    D. the particles of the earth’s surface
E. scattered dust particles

29. How can a stone become dust?

A. When it goes on breaking into very small particles
B. When dust is formed 
C. When it flies in the air
D. When it gets mixed with air
E. When it is burned 

30. How can dust move from one place to another?

A. Smoke carries it    B. It goes on breaking C. Smoke generates it   
D. The air carries it    E. It carries the air
