I. Reading Comprehension. (15 points)

Study the passage below carefully.
Software is playing an increasingly important role in the mining industry, as companies seek to maximize
the value of their mineral assets and to communicate more effectively with their internal stakeholders. CEOs are
looking to improve financial returns and boost free cash flow by driving growth through better management across
the mining lifecycle. By making better and faster decisions from the rock face to the port, processes can be made
more efficient, mineral resources used more effectively and wasteful practices eliminated. The end result is a
healthier bottom line and increased sustainability.
Most companies now recognize that technologies proven in other industries to achieve these goals can be
applied to mineral-resource lifecycle management, and by employing a holistic, horizontal view of the mining value
chain, new opportunities can be uncovered. The increasing use of advanced data-collecting devices in mining, such
as laser scanners, operations support systems such as global positioning systems (GPS), dispatch/fleet-
management systems and autonomous equipment technologies, is driving the requirement and increasing the
business-case potential for integrated software solutions that are open, and planning processes to allow targeted
execution of complex mining operations. Software accelerates and simplifies the mine design and planning process,
and most importantly provides variants and options to explore variable cut-offs and mining constraints. It also
allows users to think outside of the box, ensuring that delivered results are the most suitable and feasible.
Answer the following questions based on the passage above. Write the appropriate answer completely.
Why does the author write the passage above?
* Because he likes to inform the readers about the use of software in mining industry.
* Because he enjoys sharing about the function of software in mining industry to the readers.
* Because he considers that the readers should know about the efficiency of software in mining industry.
* Because he thinks the readers should understand about the important role of software in mining industry.
2. What is the meaning of ‘dispatch’ as mentioned in paragraph 2 line 4?

* correction * standardization
3. What is your understanding about the software in mining industry?
* Software can conceivably increase the mining productions.
* Software can outrageously optimize the quality of the mineral rate .
* Software can preposterously simplify the mine design and planning.
* Software can implausibly encourage the stakeholders to make better decisions.
4. What do you know about the meaning of the expression ‘bottom line’ as mentioned in the last sentence of
paragraph 1?
* It means the final line in the accounts of a company or organization.
* It means the most important fact in a situation of a company or organization.
* It means something of a company or organization seems to have no limits budget.
* It means the highest point in a continuously changing situation and to be about to improve.
5. What can you learn about the last sentence of paragraph 2?
* The user may consider ordinarily using current concepts to confirm that the final decision viable and doable.
* The user may think drearily using expected opinions to make sure that the outcomes are workable and on top.
* The user may think prosaically using progress thoughts to make certain that the result possible and trusted.
* The user may think imaginatively using new ideas to make sure that the outcomes are right and proper.

3. Seolah-olah belum cukup pegawai baru itu ditegur, lebih parahnya, dia dimarahi di depan teman-teman sejawatnya.

III. Writing. (30 points)

The following statements about “Automated Surface Drilling” are out of order. Write them deliberately,
completely and sequentially from no. 1-10.
* A master driller might beat a computer’s time in a single repetition, but for most tasks, the computer will outpace
the driller by the shift’s end.
* For right now, automation packages are available for any surface drilling activities, and a suite of office-based
software tools too.
* Their works can be supported by operator-assist functions like Auto Level, Auto Drill, Auto Rod Charger, and
multi-rig teleremote control.
* The system can display the data in sensible layout of map drill usage, evaluate production statistics, track
consumables and compare planned outcomes against actual results.
* Those are actually just a few of the features mines used to gain consistent, sustainable productivity, shift after
shift.
* While even the most skilled driller varies slightly in performance from one repetition to the next due to fatigue,
distraction or simple error, a computer performs each repetition with reliable precision.
* The most noticeable gain from automation is that the computer will not vary from how it was trained to perform.
* Automated drilling in surface mine is successful and already at work in mines around the globe.
* It also means that automated operating performance can be replicated shift after shift no matter which human
operator is monitoring the system.
* Surface drilling automation system allows operators to accomplish their objectives to work more safely.
