BANDUNG BONDOWOSO AND RARA JONGGRANG
(The Legend of Prambanan Temple)
Once, there was a beatiful Javanese princess whose
name Rara Jonggrang. Rara Jonggrang whose beauty was
very famous in the land was the daughter of Prabu Baka, an
evil king.
One day, a handsome young man with supernatural
power named Bandung Bondowoso defeated and killed
Prabu Baka. On seeing Princess Rara Jonggrang’s beauty,
Bandung Bondowoso fell in love with her and wanted to
marry her.
Meanwhile, Princes Rara Jonggrang felt sad due to her
father’s death. She did not want to marry Bandung because
he had killed her father. But she was also afraid of Bandung.
So she refused politely by giving him a requirement which
was imposible to fill. She said, “I will marry you but you have
to build one thousand temples in one night as a wedding
gift,” requested Rara Jonggrang. Bandung agreed with the
condition.
Helped by the spirits of the demons, Bandung
Bondowoso started building the temples. Approaching
midnight, the work would nearly be done. Rara Jonggrang
knew this and thought, “What shall I do? Bandung is
smarter than I. I would lose against Bandung.”
Suddenly she got an idea. She woke up all the women
in the palace and ordered them to make noisy sounds of
grinding rice so that the roosters thought it had already
been dawn.
Bandung Bondowoso got frustated because he failed
completing the thousand temples. “The princess has
deceived me!” Following his anger, he cursed Rara
Jonggrang, “You have cheated me. Now, the thousandth
temple will be you!”
At once, the princess turned into a statue. Knowing
this, Bandung Bondowoso regretted and went away. Now
you can see the statue of Princess Rara Jonggrang in
Prambanan temple.
23. Who help Bandung build the temples?
A. The spirit of demons.
B. The spirit of giants.
C. His fellow workers.
D. The evil kings.
E. His followers.

The following text is for questions 32 to 35
Eskimoes live in a land
where the winter are long
and very cold. During the
short summer months,
they live in permanent
homes of stone or earth.
However, their home are
useless when the Eskimoes
have to travel great
distances to hunt for food.
During such periods, they need temporary homes to
live in and the only available materials that the
Eskimoes can use are ice and snow.
Given the absence of usual building materials, the
indigenious Eskimoes have learnt to utilize the snow
and convert it into a snug, warm shelter called an
igloo. In the language of the Eskimoes, the word
‘igloo’ simply means house. The igloo is made of
blocks of hard packed snow fitted together to make a
low, domed-shapped building. The blocks are cut out
with a knife made from walrus ivory as snow does not
stick to this kind of knife. Using this method, an
Eskimo takes only a few hours to build some.
Inside the igloo, it is warm enough for the family
to take off their outer fur clothing. A platform of
snow, covered with fur and skins, serves as the family
bed. During the cold, arctic nights, the entire family
sleeps together tor warmth. Cooking is done on a
stone stove or lamp that burns seal fat or blubber. A
small opening at the top of the igloo lets the smoke
out and the fresh air in. Even though the air in the
igloo my not clear or pleasant-smelling, it serves its
purpose as a warm, comfortable shelter for the
Eskimo family.

A. where the igloo is built
B. where the Eskimoes live
C. how the Eskimoes find their food
D. how and where the Eskimoes live
E. where the whole family sleep together

A. it is easy to cut the food
B. it is sharp enough to cut the animals
C. it is more comfortable to find some food
D. this kind of knife doesn’t stick to the snow
E. this kind of knife is useful to hunt for food
34. The purpose of the text is …
A. to entertain the Eskimoes family
B. to describe how the Eskimoes live
C. to describe how the Eskimoes cook their food
D. to tell why the Eskimoes should hunt for food
E. to tell the traditional of the Eskimoes
35. Why are permanent settlements useless to an
Eskimo hunter? Because …
A. they have to utilize the snow and convert it
into a snug
B. their permanent settlements made of stones
or earth
C. their permanent house are made of ice and

The following text is for questions 36 to 39
The grizzly bear lives in
the uplands of western
North America. Grizzlies are
normally solitary active, but
in coastal areas the grizzly
bears congregate alongside
streams, lakes, and rivers
during the salmon spawn. Every other year, the
females (snows) produce one to four young (most
commonly two) which are small and weigh only about
500 grams (one pound). A sow is very protective of
her offsprings and will attack if she is being
threatened.
Male grizzly bears can range from weights of 180
to 680 kilograms (400 - 1,500) and stand 2.44 meters
(8 ft) tall on their hind legs; the females are smaller.
Their coloring ranges widely across geographic areas,
from blond to deep brown or red. These differences,
primarily due to the different environments,
particularly, with regard to diet and temperature.
The grizzly has a large hump over the shoulders
which is a muscle mass used to power the forelimbs
in digging. The hind legs are powerful, however. The
muscle in the lower legs provides enough strength for
the bear to stand up on its hind legs, giving it a better
view of its surroundings. The head is large and round
with a concave facial profile.
In spite of their massive size, these bears can run
at speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour (25 miles
per hour). However, they are slower running downhill
rather than uphill because of the large hump of
muscle over the shoulders.
36. What is the best title for the text above?
A. The Grizzly Bear.
 B. The Male Grizzly Bear.
C. The Life of Grizzly Bear.
D. Physical characteristic of Grizzly Bear.
37. “A sow is very protective of her offsprings and …”
The underlined word also means …
A. families C. spouses E. food
B. habitat D. babies
38. How fast can a grizzly run per hour?
A. 2,44 m. C. 40 km. E. 400 km.
B. 25 km. D. 180 km.
39. Why are the grizzlies slower while running
downhill? Because …
A. the females are smaller
B. they can stand up on their hind legs
C. their hind legs are more powerful
D. they have large hump of muscle over the
shoulders
E. the muscles of their legs provide enough
strength to stand up

The following text is for questions 40 to 43.
Nuclear Power
There are three sources of hazard in the process
of supplying energy by nuclear power.
The radioactive material must travel from its
place of manufacture to the power station. Although
the power stations themselves are solidly built, the
container used for the transport of the materials are
not. There are normally only two methods of
transport available, namely road or rail. Unfortuna-
tely, both of these involve close contact with the
general public, since the routes are sure to pass near,
or even through, heavily populated areas.
Next, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear
power stations produce wastes that is most cases will
remain radioactive for thousand of years. It is impos-
sible to make these wastes nonradioactive, and so
they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways
that scientists have invented. For example, they may
be buried under the ground, or dropped into
abandoned mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these
methods do not solve the problem, since an earth-
quake could easily crack the containers open.
Finally, there is the problem of accidental expo-
sure due to a leak or an explosion at the power
station. As with the other two hazards, this is not very
likely, so that it does not provide a serious objection
to the nuclear program. Nevertheless, it can happen.
Separately, these three types of risk are not great
causes for concern. On the whole through, the proba-
bility of disaster is still high.
40. How many ways can the nuclear wastes be
transported?
A. One C. Three E. Six
B. Two D. Five
41. The purpose of the text is …
A. to explain how nuclear power energy is
supplied
B. to persuade the readers to use nuclear power
energy
C. to inform the readers about the advantages of
nuclear power energy
D. to convince the readers that nuclear power
energy is hazardous
E. to tell the readers about the future prospect
of nuclear power energy .
42. Storing radioactive wastes under the ground or
sinking them in the sea still considered unsafe
because …
A. the place is inconvenient
B. it possible to store them there
C. the methods do not solve the problem
D. it is impossible to make them non-radioactive
E. an earthquake could easily break the
containers
43. “Separately, these three types of risks are not
great causes for concern.” (Paragraph 5)
The synonym of the underlined word is …
A. illness C. danger E. safety
B. health D. threat

The following text is for questions 44 to 48
Boxing - Sport or Spectacle?
Boxing, amongst other hand-to-hand fighting, has
been with us for thousands of years. Originally it was
nothing more than bare fist fighting between two
willing, and sometimes unwilling competitors for the
entertainment of other. Some people argue that it is a
relatively safe, disciplined, highly skilled, and technical
sport that brings enjoyment and employment to a
great many people. Others claim that it is a dangerous
and barbaric spectacle that has no place in the
civilized world. This article will explore each side’s
claim in more detail. It will talk about the damage that
can be inflicted when two men stand face-to-face with
the sole intention of knocking each other out with
their fists. It will go on to argue that boxing, or
legitimate assault, has no place in the twenty first
century.
The bell goes and two warriors approach each
other. They are quick. They are strong. They are hard.
They are ready to hurt and be hurt.
