PART 1. READING COMPREHENSION

Directions: This section measures your ability to read and understand written English similar
to the topic which one may expect in a college or university setting, especially at Widyatama
University. Read each passage and answer the questions based on what is stated or implied in
the passage. Circle or mark the correct answer in answer sheet or write it on a separate piece of
paper.

Text 1
The Native Americans of northern California were highly skilled at basketry, using the
reeds, grasses, bards, and roots they found around them to fashion articles of all sorts and
sizes - not only trays, containers, and cooking pots, but hats, boats, fish traps, baby carriers,
and ceremonial objects.
Of all these experts, none excelled the Pomo - a group who lived on or near the coast during
the 1800's, and whose descendants continue to live in parts of the same region to the same
region to this day. They made baskets three feet in diameter and others no bigger than a
thimble. The Pomo people were masters of decoration. Some of their baskets were completely
covered with shell pendants; others with feathers that made the baskets' surfaces as soft as the
breasts of birds.
Moreover, the Pomo people made use of more weaving techniques than did their neighbors.
Most groups made all their basketwork by twining - the twisting of a flexible horizontal
material, called a weft, around stiffer vertical strands of material, the warp. Others depended
primarily on coiling - a process in which a continuous coil of stiff material is held in the
desired shape with tight wrapping of flexible strands. Only the Pomo people used both
processes with equal case and frequency. In addition, they made use of four distinct variations
on the basic twining process, often employing more than one of them in a single article.
Although a wide variety of materials was available, the Pomo people used only a few. The
warp was always made of willow, and the most commonly used welt was sedge root, a woody
fiber that could easily be separated into strands no thicker than a thread. For color, the Pomo
people used the bark of redbud for their twined work and dyed bull rush root for black in
coiled work. Though other materials were sometimes used, these four were the staples in their
finest basketry.
If the basketry materials used by the Pomo people were limited, the designs were
amazingly varied. Every Pomo basket maker knew how to produce from fifteen to twenty
district patterns that could be combined in a number of different ways.

Any rock that has cooled and solidified from a molten state is an igneous rock. Therefore, if
the Earth began as a superheated sphere in space, all the rocks making up its crust may well
have been igneous and thus the ancestors of all other rocks. Even today, approximately 95
percent of the entire crust is igneous. Periodically, molten material wells out of the Earth's
interior to invade the surface layers or to flow onto the surface itself. This material cools into a
wide variety of igneous rocks. In the molten state, it is called magma as it pushes into the crust
and lava when it runs out onto the surface.
All magma consists basically of a variety of silicate minerals (high in silicon-oxygen
compounds), but the chemical composition of any given flow may differ radically from that of
any other. The resulting igneous rocks will reflect these differences. Igneous rocks also vary in
texture as well as chemistry. Granite, for instance, is a coarse-grained igneous rock whose
individual mineral crystals have formed to a size easily seen by the naked eye. A slow rate of
cooling has allowed the crystals to reach this size. Normally, slow cooling occurs when the
crust is invaded by magma that remains buried well below the surface. Granite may be found
on the surface of the contemporary landscape, but from its coarse texture we know that it must
have formed through slow cooling at a great depth and later been laid bare by erosion. Igneous
rocks with this coarse- grained texture that formed at depth are called plutonic.
On the other hand, if the same magma flows onto the surface and is quickly cooled by the
atmosphere, the resulting rock will be fine-grained and appear quite different from granite,
although the chemical composition will be identical. This kind of rock is called rhyolite. The
most finely grained igneous rock is volcanic glass or obsidian, which has no crystals. Some
researchers believe this is because of rapid cooling; others believe it is because of a lack of
water vapor and other gases in the lava. The black obsidian cliffs of Yellowstone National
Park are the result of a lava flow of basalt running head on into a glacier. Some of the glacier
melted on contact, but suddenly there also appeared a huge black mass of glassy stone.

Although only 1 person in 20 in the Colonial period lived in a city, the cities had a
disproportionate influence on the development of North America. They were at the cutting
edge of social change. It was in the cities that the elements that can be associated with modern
capitalism first appeared - the use of money and commercial paper in place of barter, open
competition in place of social deference and hierarchy, with an attendant rise in social
disorder, and the appearance of factories using coat or water power in place of independent
craftspeople working with hand tools. "The cities predicted the future," wrote historian
Gary.B.Nash , "even though they were but overgrown villages compared to the great urban
centers of Europe, the Middle East and China."
Except for Boston, whose population stabilized at about 16,000 in 1760, cities grew by
exponential leaps through the eighteenth century. In the fifteen years prior to the outbreak of
the War for independence in 1775, more than 200,000 immigrants arrived on North American
shores This meant that a population the size of Boston was arriving every year, and most of it
flowed into the port cities in the Northeast. Philadelphia's population nearly doubted in those
years, reaching about 30,000 in 1774, New York grew at almost the same rate, reaching about
25,000 by 1775.
The quality of the hinterland dictated the pace of growth of the cities. The land surrounding
Boston had always been poor farm country, and by the mid-eighteenth century it was virtually
stripped of its timber. The available farmland was occupied, there was little in the region
beyond the city to attract immigrants. New York and Philadelphia, by contrast, served a rich
and fertile hinterland laced with navigable watercourses. Scots, Irish, and Germans landed in
these cities and followed the rivers inland. The regions around the cities of New York and
Philadelphia became the breadbaskets of North America, sending grain not only to other
colonies but also to England and southern Europe, where crippling droughts in the late 1760's
created a whole new market.

 TEXT 4
Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an
important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business to invest in, involves
the utilization of a decision worksheet. Psychologists who study optimization compare the
actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are.
Proponents of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is , the best
decisions. Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets can take,
they are all similar in their essential aspects. Worksheets require defining the problem in a
clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent
considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of
each consideration or consequence is determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical
value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding
these values together. The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best
decision.
Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose
from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and
paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than
their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep about
seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision
involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many
college students is the question "What sill I do after graduation?" A graduate might seek a
position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a
year.
A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will
also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and
immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range
ones. Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to
"What will I do after graduation that will lead to successful career?"

Elizabeth Hazen and Rachel Brown copatented one of the most widely acclaimed wonder
drugs of the post-Second World War years. Hazen and Brown's work was stimulated by the
wartime need to find a cure for the fungus infections that afflicted many military personnel.
Scientists had been feverishly searching for an antibiotic toxic enough to kill the fungi but
safe enough for human use, since, unfortunately, the new "wonder drugs" such as penicillin
and streptomycin killed the very bacteria in the body that controlled the fungi. It was to
discover a fungicide without that double effect that Brown, of New York State's Department
of Health Laboratories at Albany, and Hazen, senior microbiologist at the Department of
Health in New York, began their long-distance collaboration. Based upon Hazen's previous
research at Columbia University, where she had built an impressive collection of fungus
cultures, both were convinced that an antifungal organism already existed in certain soils.
They divided the work. Hazen methodically screened and cultured scores of soil samples,
which she then sent to her partner, who prepared extracts, isolated and purified active agents,
and shipped them back to New York, where Hazen could study their biological properties. On
a 1948 vacation, Hazen fortuitously collected a clump of soil from the edge of W.B. Nourse's
cow pasture, Hazen fortuitously collected a clump of soil from the edge of W.B. Nourse's cow
pasture in Fauquier County, Virginia, that, when tested, revealed the presence of the
microorganisms. In farm owner Nourse's honor. Hazen named it Streptomyces noursei, and
within a year the two scientists knew that the properties of their substance distinguished it
from previously described antibiotics. After further research they eventually reduced their
substance to a fine, yellow powder, which they first named "fungiciden." Then renamed
"nystatin" (to honor the New York State laboratory) when they learned the previous name was
already in use. Of their major discovery, Brown said lightly that it simply illustrated "how
unpredictable consequences can come from rather modest beginnings."
