Various kinds of organisms in the world can be found on earth. One of them is lichen. Lichen is kind of
organism that does not have flowers and usually grows on stones. Lichen has so many varieties and colours.
Lichens are consisted of algae and fungi
Autotrophic green algae produce food through photosynthesis and supply fungi with some nutritional
elements. In contrast, heterotrophic fungi which depend on others for food, save water and protect algae.
Here, mutualism symbiosis appears. Lichen’s strong resistence enables it to survive in extreme environments
such as polar regions, deserts, on top of mountain and long coastal zones.

The following text is for questions number 23 – 25.

Many people believe that women are better parents than men. It influences women’s greater role as parents
than men’s in raising children in most societies. Yet, men have an essential role in educating and taking care
of their children. However, in my opinion, women have more roles than men because of their motherhood
and their intense contact with their children
First of all, women have to be able to cook and take care of their children. Since they were teenager, they
have learnt that their future responsibility is to be diligent mothers. Women learn how to nurture since they
were young. The practice can be seen by seeing the form of playing with the dolls or babysitting younger
siblings. Therefore, it is natural that they can indentify the activities as female activities.
Secondly, men are aggresive which is proven by seeing the history behind World War. On the other hand,
women are known for their soft heart and patience. No wonder women are more care and understanding.
Lastly, women can communicate things to the children better than men. This bility is reflected by the result
of intellegence tests. Communication skills are important in raising the children because they imitate how
their parents communicate.
To sum up, men have an undeniable essential role in bringing the children up but women are proven to have
more benefits in rearing children.

23. What does the text mainly tell us about … .

A. The responsibility of men and women

Brides On Their Trial
There was once a young shepherd who wished much to marry, and was acquainted with three sisters who
were all equally pretty, so that it was difficult to him to make a choice, and he could not decide to give the
preference to any one of them. Then he asked his mother for advice, and she said, "Invite all three, and set
some cheese before them, and watch how they eat it." The youth did so; the first, however, swallowed the
cheese with the rind on; the second hastily cut the rind off the cheese, but she cut it so quickly that she left
much good cheese with it, and threw that away also; the third peeled the rind off carefully, and cut neither
too much nor too little. The shepherd told all this to his mother, who said, "Take the third for thy wife." This
he did, and lived contentedly and happily with her.

3500 before century, Abraham woke up and asked his wife Hajar to get her son and prepare for a long
journey. In a few days Abraham started out with his wife Hajar and their son Ishmael. The child was still
nursing and not yet weaned.
Abraham walked through cultivated land, desert, and mountains until he reached the desert of the Arabian
Peninsula and came to an uncultivated valley having no fruit, no trees, no food, no water. The valley had no
sign of life. After Abraham had helped his wife and child to dismount, he left them with a small amount of
food and water which was hardly enough for 2 days. He turned around and walked away. His wife hurried
after him asking: "Where are you going Abraham, leaving us in this barren valley... ."
Abraham did not answer her, but continued walking. She repeated what she had said, but he remained silent.
Finally she understood that he was not acting on his own initiative. She realized that Allah had commanded
him to do this. She asked him: "Did Allah command you to do so... ." He replied: "Yes." Then his great wife
said: "We are not going to be lost, since Allah Who has commanded you with us."
Abraham invoked Almighty Allah thus: "O Our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley
with no cultivation, by Your Sacred House (the Ka'ba at Mecca); in order, O our Lord, that they may offer
prayers perfectly (Iqamat as salat) so fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and O Allah
provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks. O our Lord! Certainly, You know what we conceal
and what we reveal. Nothing on the earth or in the heavens is hidden from Allah." (Ch 14:37-38)
The Prophet continued: "Then she drank water and suckled her child. The angel said to her: "Don't be afraid
of being neglected, for this is the House of Allah which will be built by this boy and his father, and Allah
never neglects His people." The House (Kaba) at that time was on a high place resembling a hillock, and
when torrents came, they flowed to its right and left.
The Prophet continued: "After Ishmael's mother had died, Abraham came after Ishmael's marriage in order
to see his family that he had left before but he did not find Ishmael there. When he asked Ishmael's wife
about him, she replied: "He has gone in search of livelihood." Then he asked her about their way of living
and their condition, and she replied, "We are living in misery; we are living in hardship and destitution,'
complaining to him. He said: "When your husband returns, convey my salutations to him and tell him to
change the threshold of the gate (of his house).'
"When Ishmael came, he seemed to have felt something unusual, so he asked his wife: 'Has anyone visited
you... .' she replied, 'Yes, an old man of such and such description came and asked me about you and I
informed him and he asked about our state of living and I told him that we were living in a hardship and
poverty.' On that Ishmael said: 'Did he advise you anything... .' She said: 'Yes he told me to convey his
salutation to you and to tell you to change the threshold of your gate.' Ishmael said: 'It was my father and he
has ordered me to divorce you. Go back to your family.' so, Ishmael divorced her and married another
woman from among them (Jurhum).
"Then Abraham stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah wished and called on them again but
did not find Ishmael. So he came to Ishmael's wife and asked her about Ishmael. She said: 'he has gone in
sof our livelihood.' Abraham asked her; 'how are you getting on... .' asking her about their sustenance and
living. she replied: 'we are prosperous and well off (we have everything in abundance).' then she thanked
Allah. Abraham said: 'What kind of food do you eat... .' she said: 'meat.' he said: 'what do you drink... .' she
said: 'water.' he said: 'O Allah! bless their meat and water.""
 9 B49
BAHASA INGGRIS SMA/MA
The Prophet added: "At that time they did not have grain, and if they had grain he would have also invoked
Allah to bless it. If somebody has only these two things as his sustenance, his health and disposition will be
badly affected unless he lives in Mecca."
The servants roasted and served a calf. Abraham invited the angels to eat and he started eating so as to
encourage them. He continued, but when he glanced at his guests to assure they were eating, he noticed that
none of them had touched the food. He said to them: "Are you not going to eat... ." He resumed eating, but
when he glanced at them again he found that they were still not eating. Their hands did not reach out for the
food. HE began to fear them.
Abraham's fears increased. The angels, however were reading his inner thoughts and one of them said: "Do
not fear." Abraham raised his head and replied: "Indeed I am in fear. I have asked you to eat food but you
do not stretch out your hands to eat. DO you intend me evil... ."
One of the angels smiled and said: "We do not eat. We are Allah's angels." One of them then turned towards
his wife and conveyed the glad tidings about Isaac (Ishaaq).

The text for question number 34 – 36.

Cats also called the domestic cat or house cat (with its scientific name: Felis silvestris catus or Felis catus)
is a type of carnivorous mammal of the family Felidae. The word "cat" generally refers to a "cat" that has
been tamed, but can also refer to the "big cats" such as lions and tigers.
Cats are considered as "perfect carnivore" with teeth and particular digestive tract. The first premolar and
molar teeth form a pair of fangs on each side of the mouth that works effectively as a pair of scissors to tear
the meat. Although these features also exist in the Canidae or dog, but these traits are better developed in
cats. Unlike other carnivores, cats eat almost non vegetable substance. Bears and dogs sometimes eat berries,
roots, or honey as a supplement, while cats only eat meat, usually freshly killed prey. In captivity, cats can
not adapt to a vegetarian diet because they can not synthesize all the amino acids they need from plant
material; it is in contrast with domesticated dogs, which commonly are fed a mixture of meat and vegetables
and sometimes it can adapt to a completely vegetarian meal.
Cats have mingled with human life since at least 6000 BC, from the skeleton of the cat found on the island
of Cyprus. The ancient Egyptians of 3500 BC have used cats to keep away the rats or other rodents from the
barn where the crops were saved.Currently, the cat is one of the most popular pet in the world. Cats that his
lines are recorded officially as a cat breeds or pure breed are Persian, Siamese, Manx, and the sphinx. These
kinds of cat are usually bred in official captivity animal. The number of purebred cat is only 1% of all cats
in the world; the rest is a cat with mixed ancestry such as wild cats or domestic cats.

A. Because cats areperfect carnivore.
B. Because they cannot synthesize all the amino acids.
C. Because they don’t eat berries, roots, or honey for supplement.

Almost everybody must have ridden a bicycle in their childhood. You also might have had cycling
competitions with your siblings, cousins and friends to figure out who was the fastest or who had the most
stamina. Cycling is not only a fun filled activity, but also a great way to work out. Biking for women has

great activity to explore new places in the town and be one with nature. So, it gives benefit to decrease stress.

Pokémon Go Pros and Cons
Pokémon Go has been greatly praised but also criticized. Although Pokémon is taking the world by storm,
in fact the game has received mixed reviews. This is not a classic Pokémon game, so for some of the
traditional fans of the saga the game may be a disappointment. In fact the game was not developed directly
by Nintendo but by the Californian software company Niantic Inc. However, it is undeniable that this game
is managing to attract millions of children and adults for the first time to the Pokémon universe. In addition
to the technical virtues and defects of this video game from a technical perspective, it is important to consider
some of the benefits and risks associated to the Pokémon Go experience.
The game is fun, easy and cheap to play. You don't need to be a hardcore player or even had played
a Pokémon game ever before. The game is very intuitive to make sure that both children and adults can
enjoy it, while requiring some level of strategy. You can play for free. Even if there is a chance to speed up
your progress in the game through in-game micro transactions, you don't need to pay to download the game
or play.
It can make you healthier. Pokémon Go creates incentives for you to get-off your couch and go for a walk to
hunt for Pokémon. An effect of Pokémon Go is what psychologists call behavioral activation. It encourages
people do some exercise and move and help prevent obesity. Augmented reality technology, such as that
used in Pokémon Go, can contribute to treat some psychological disorders, such as depression, anxiety,
phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD). Moreover the game has a clear structure and offers
incremental challenges to avoid fatigue and keep up motivation.
On the other hand, you need to have the application of the game open all the time in order to get alerts of
nearby Pokémon or Poké Stops. This means you will drain your battery extremely quickly or you may need
to revisit places you walked past when the application was closed.
Although this game gets players outdoors, they are still on their phone. Pediatricians do not recommend
spending more than two hours a day looking at a screen. Some Pokémon Go players spend many more hours
a day on their phones due to this game.
Pokémon Go can be very distracting and even dangerous for people, this is called in psychology a "blended
reality state." Walking while watching the screen of a smarphone is dangerous, much more so driving while
hunting for Pokémon. There have been many accidents recorded in which people have been hurt because of
 12 B49
BAHASA INGGRIS SMA/MA
distractions linked to Nintendo's new game. There have been car crashes, people falling from their bicycles
while "hunting", traffic jams provoked by drivers leaving their cars to search for nearby Pokémon, etc.
Playing Pokemon Go gives us some benefit. People become healthier, physically or psychology. But,
Pokemon Go also provides some disadvantages, either for the user or for people around the user. In a brief,
playing Pokemon Go is permitted as long as people know their limit and surrounding.

I was born as Christian Rahardi in Jakarta on 16 September 1949 to Laurens Rahadi and Hanna Rahadi.
 BAHASA INGGRIS SMA/MA
My father was a Chinese-Betawi entrepreneur and my mother was a Chinese-Sundanese housewife. I was
the second of three sons, my brothers were Joris and Vicky. My family lived on Talang Street near
Menteng, Central Jakarta, until 1954, when we moved to Pegangsaan Street (also in Menteng).
While attending GIKI Elementary School, I befriended the neighbouring Nasution family; I became
especially close to Bamid Gauri, with whom I played badminton and flew kites. I also began listening to
my father's record collection, singing along to songs by Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and
Dean Martin. After graduating from elementary school, I attended Christian Middle School III
Diponegoro.
Beatle mania reached Indonesia while I was in Senior High School PSKD Menteng, and increased my
interest in music. Responding to my desire to play an instrument, my father bought me a guitar. I chose the
bass guitar, as I considered it the easiest to master. As they could not read music, I and Joris learned to
play by accompanying our father's records and songs recorded from the radio. In time we began playing at
school events, with vocals by mine. During this period I began smoking in school; when caught, I was
punished by being forced to smoke eight cigarettes at once, in front of the assembled pupils. However, this
failed to cure my habit and I eventually became a chain smoker.

Almost everybody must have ridden a bicycle in their childhood. You also might have had cycling
competitions with your siblings, cousins and friends to figure out who was the fastest or who had the most
stamina. Cycling is not only a fun filled activity, but also a great way to work out. Biking for women has
real benefits and helps increase your strength and stamina. It also is one form of exercise that even a
relatively old man can do too
Is biking a good way to lose weight? Yes, this question is the first one that came to my mind too. And the
fact is that cycling a minimum of 30 – 45 minutes has immense benefits. Toping all the other reasons is
that an useful activity that helps you to lose your weight. It is an excellent cardiovascular exercise ever and
hence the weight loss!
In today’s hectic lifestyle we have forgotten to take a moment and look around at the nature. Cycling is a
great activity to explore new places in the town and be one with nature. So, it gives benefit to decrease
stress. Studies have shown that cyclists have lower stress levels as compared to non cyclists. The increased
blood flow and sweat induces production of mood enhancing hormones leading to lower stress levels.
Because of that, cycling in the sun at early morning or afternoon or evening induces quality deep and
restful sleep at night. Insomniacs can greatly benefit from this activity.
So, what are you waiting for? Jump on that bicycle and pedal away to enjoy the immense benefits of it, as
biking is good for your health!

I was born Feb. 12, 1809, in Hardin County, Kentucky. My parents were both born in Virginia of
undistinguished families - second families, perhaps I should say. My mother, who died in my tenth year,
was of a family of the name of Hanks, some of whom now reside in Adams, and others in Macon counties,
Illinois.
I was raised to farm work, which I continued till I was twenty-two. At twenty-one I came to Illinois, and
passed the first year in Illinois-Macon county. Then I got to New Salem (at that time in Sangamon, now in
Menard county) where I remained a year as a sort of clerk in a store. Then came the Black Hawk War; and
I was elected a Captain of Volunteers - a success which gave me more pleasure than any I have had since.
I went the campaign, was elated, ran for the Legislature the same year (1832) and was beaten - the only
time I have been beaten by the people. The next, and three succeeding biennial elections, I was elected to
the Legislature. I was not a candidate afterwards. During this Legislative period I had studied law, and
removed to Springfield to practice it. In 1846 I was once elected to the lower House of Congress. Was not
a candidate for re-election. From 1849 to 1854, both inclusive, practiced law more assiduously than ever
before. Always a Whig in politics, and generally on the Whig electoral tickets, making active canvasses. I
was losing interest in politics, when the repeal of the Missouri Compromise aroused me again. What I
have done since then is pretty well known.

The text for question number 47 – 49.

Smoking ban policies are implemented in some American states and cities but the contentions on whether
they are necessary and relevant are still heard from supporters and critics. Restrictions on cigarette
smoking can be traced back as early the 16th century and up to now, this issue remains to be controversial.
To get an idea on how people are taking smoking bans, here are some of the views expressed by
proponents and opponents.
Advocates for smoking bans claim that passing a policy to prohibit smoking in public places can lessen the
possibility of second-hand smoke being inhaled by non-smokers. The supporters also say that states and
cities which have non-smoking policies and prohibited smoking in restaurants and public indoor spaces
have better indoor air quality then the cities which still allow smoking public. With restricting smoking,
supporters posit that it will decrease the waste since there will be lesser cigarette butts and lesser toxic
garbage that can be stuck in water systems. It is also believed by the supporters that it can lessen the
chance of influencing others to take on the habit.
For many smokers, smoking bans is one of the government’s ways of interfering in their lifestyle. They
find this offensive because they believe that, since smoking is not a crime, the government nor anyone else
should not have a say about what they do and limit their freedom. In principle, smoking bans aren’t
effective since they will make people just avoid places with smoking bans and smoke elsewhere rather
than to quit or at least to reduce their tobacco consumption. Implementing smoking bans also can be very
difficult. There are many people and even establishments that don’t respect the ban mainly because the
penalties aren’t so stiff and won’t get offenders into too much trouble.
These are just some of the pros and cons of smoking bans. Government officials, business owners, and
ordinary citizens should weigh them carefully to decide if smoking bans are worth implementing or not.

47. What is the main idea of the third paragraph ... .

A. Many people agree with government’s way to ban smoking.
B. Implemenetig smoking bans can be very difficult.
C. Smokers thing that smoking bans is annoying their lifestyle.
D. Smokers thing soking bans aren’t effective.
E. Smoking is not a crime.

48. “They find this offensive because they believe that ...” The underlined word has similar meaning to ... .
A. Defense.
B. Argument.
C. Prohibition.
D. Allowance.
E. Attack.

49. Why do people thing with restricting smoking can decrease the waste ... .
A. Because they will have better indoor air.
B. There will be lesser cigarette butts and lesser toxic garbage.
C. It can lessen the chance of influencing others to take on the habit.
