Ambonese soldier and National Hero of Indonesia. Born on the island of Saparua, Pattimura joined the
British army after they took the Maluku islands from the Dutch colonials. When the islands were returned
to the Dutch in 1816, he was dismissed. Concerned that the Dutch would implement programs that

The following text is for questions number 7-8.

The Proclamation of Indonesian Independence was read at 10.00 a.m. on Friday, 17 August 1945. The
document was signed by Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta, who were appointed president and vice-
president respectively the following day. The draft was prepared only a few hours earlier on the night of
16 August 1945 by Sukarno, Hatta, and Soebardjo, at the house of Rear-Admiral Tadashi Maeda.

The wording of the proclamation had been discussed at length and had to balance both conflicting internal
Indonesian and Japanese interests. Sukarno drafted the final proclamation which balanced the interests of
both the members of the youth movement and the Japanese. The term ‘TRANSFER OF POWER’ was
used in Indonesian to satisfy Japanese interests to appear that it was an administrative transfer of power,
although the term used ‘pemindahan kekuasaan’ could be perceived to mean political power. The wording
‘BY CAREFUL MEANS’ related to preventing conflict with members of the youth movement. The
wording ‘IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME’ was used to meet the needs of all Indonesians for
independence.

Initially the proclamation was to be announced at Djakarta central square, but the military had been sent
to monitor the area, so the venue was changed to Sukarno's house at Pegangsaan Timur 56. The
proclamation was heard throughout the country because the text was secretly broadcast by Indonesian
radio personnel using the transmitters of the Jakarta Broadcasting Station.

7. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

A. The location of the proclamation.

B. The night before the proclamation.
C. The term ‘TRANSFER OF POWER’.

Hello Felyta!
It’s been too long since our last visit, and I thought I’d write to you to see how everything is. So, how are
you and the family doing? I remember precisely and perfectly Janice is just about to start kindergarten,
right? That must be exciting; she was always such a bright girl. And what grade is Silas going into? 7th or
8th? He’s growing up so fast. They both are, really.

        My kids are getting ready for the school year as well. Galen just mentioned you guys the other day
while we were at the park. He remembered how Janice was throwing the pebbles last time and asked
when he’d get to play with her again. I really hope that I can tell him you’ll all be visiting soon. You guys
should drive up for a weekend out with us. There’s a new restaurant in town, and I think you’d like it; it’s
very simple and cozy.  

        We all miss you very much, Felyta, and the family is welcome to come visit any time at all. I hope

The following text is for question number 15.

The Great Wall of China is the largest and the longest wall to have ever built by humans. Several walls
were being built from as early as the 7th century BC by ancient Chinese states; selective stretches were
later joined together by Qin Shi Huang (220–206 BC), the first Emperor of China. Little of the Qin wall
remains. Later on, many successive dynasties have built and maintained multiple stretches of border
walls. The most well-known sections of the wall were built by the Ming dynasty (1368–1644)

Collectively, the Great Wall stretches from Dandong in the east to Lop Lake in the west. The construction
materials  were mainly earth, wood, stones, sand, and bricks, used depending on construction era and
construction site with different climate and local materials. Its average height ranges from 6 to 7 meters
and the tallest part reaches around 14 meters. A comprehensive archaeological survey,
using advanced technologies, has concluded that the walls built by the Ming dynasty measure 8,850 km.
This is made up of 6,259 km sections of actual wall, 359 km of trenches and 2,232 km of natural
defensive barriers such as hills and rivers. The entire wall with all of its branches measures out to be
21,196 km.

The following text is for questions number 16 to 17.

Studying is a dreaded word that many college students hate to hear, but how about doing it
internationally? Traveling the world is something many hope to do in life, so why not do it now while in
college?

Exposure to international countries will allow college students the incredible experience of traveling. It
also makes students aware of the way others work on a day-to-day basis. Students will also benefit
socially from studying abroad due to the independence traveling internationally brings someone.
Traveling abroad will make sure students will be more independent and mature than when they left. This
is due to the student getting out of their comfort zone and trying something new.

Studying abroad has many advantages. There is no substitution for “being there.” In the twenty-first
century we can experience things online but the only way to experience it fully is to travel.

 16. Which of the following information can be found in the text?

A. Studying abroad may cost you a lot of money.

B. Studying abroad will improve your social skills.
C. Learning everything online is better than traveling abroad.
D. Studying in another country should be done as early as possible.
E. Students who study abroad are more successful than those who don’t.

17. What is the writer’s recommendation regarding studying abroad?

A. Students must travel to gain real experience.

B. The needs of students should be learned internationally.
C. Parents who don’t send their kids abroad need to be sanctioned.
D. Schools must make special programs for their students to study abroad.
E. Parents have to make a study abroad budget since their kids are in primary schools.

The following text is for question number 18.

Smoking a cigarette may be a normal routine to some, but in reality, it is purely a harmful activity.
Ingesting smoke can be lethal, and can cause many diseases, such as cancer. But one common issue that
most smokers overlook is its impact on others. This is known as secondhand smoke, the smoke produced
from a cigarette or the smoke exhaled by a smoker. Secondhand smoke is a silent killer.

Smoking doesn't only affect people, but also the environment. I am fairly certain that every person in this
room has seen a cigarette butt lying somewhere, at some point in their lives. Whether it’s on the curb of a
neighborhood street, on the sandy beach, or in your favorite park, this litter can be found just about
anywhere. Most smokers don’t even believe that a cigarette butt is actually litter, but trust me, it is.

I personally think that breathing clean and pure air is a basic right for any human being. Allowing public
smoking is taking away that right, and making the air we breathe in daily possibly harmful to our well-
being.

 18. “Smoking doesn't only affect people, but also the environment.”

Change the sentence above into passive voice!

 A. People and environment are affected by smoking.
B. People and environment were affected by smoking.
C. People and environment will be affected by smoking.
D. People and environment can be affected by smoking.
E. People and environment had been affected by smoking.

Questions 20-23 are based on the following passage.

The earth’s crust is split into a number of tectonic plates that float on the hot magma liquid. The plates
keep moving. This is called a tectonic plate, and the movement of the tectonic plate is the trigger for
earthquakes.

Strong earthquakes occur when two tectonic plates collide with each other. As a result, the high
tension arises at the edges of the two plates. The power continues to increase and it eventually reaches an
optimal point. When that energy is released, an earthquake occurs.

The earthquake has also threatened the west coast of the United States. The two plates rub against an
area called the San Andreas Fault. The length of the rubbing plate is about 1,000 kilometers. The resulting
friction also causes collisions. The two plates are currently sliding past each other. Since the fault is
formed by natural disasters that can occur at any time.

Tectonic plates on the surface of the earth always move dynamically so that earthquakes often occur at
the edges of each plate. The most famous earthquake area is the Pacific fire ring, which stretches from
Chile in South America across the eastern coast of North America, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia to
the Tonga Islands.

20. The phrase ‘move dynamically’ in paragraph 5 can be replaced by….

A. Behave reactively
B. Spin intensively
C. Change actively
D. Switch regularly
E. Flow mechanically

21. What is the main idea of the passage above?

A. The San Andreas Fault causes earthquakes on the west coast of the United States.
B. Strong earthquakes that occur in the sea can trigger tsunamis
C. The movement of tectonic plates causes earthquakes.
D. Tectonic plates are fragmented by the earth crusts.
E. Huge earthquakes occur in the continent of Asia.

22. The author’s main intention to write the sentences ‘The power continues to increase and it
eventually reaches an optimal point. When that energy is released, an earthquake occurs.’ in
paragraph 2 is to…

A. Confirm factors causing different types of earthquakes

B. Classify the energy that triggers an earthquake
C. Exemplify the energy arising from earthquakes
D. Compare earthquake power and energy
E. Describe the process of an earthquake

23. The main reason for the writer to write the passage is….

A. Lack of information about areas prone to earthquakes

B. Confusing information on the concept of tectonic earthquakes
C. Weak theories about the difference in earthquake magnitude scales
D. People’s low awareness on the importance of natural disaster mitigation
E. Negligence on the effect of natural disasters like earthquakes on people’s life

Questions 24-27 are based on the following passage.

In addition to being pleasant and reducing thirst, drinking tea turns out to be also beneficial for
health. Some research results show that drinking tea is beneficial for health if the amount of tea consumed
is not excessive.

Female First writes that a new study in the United Kingdom shows that drinking tea regularly can
help reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. To analyze the relationship between tea consumption
and the reduced risk of breast cancer, researchers conducted 39 studies of the benefits of tea consumption
in 13,204 breast cancer patients. Based on the results of these studies, antioxidants properties in tea can
help reduce the risk of breast cancer. Taking tea regularly causes a 21% reduction in breast cancer risk.
According to a female health specialist, Dr. Catherine Hood from “The Tea Advisory Panel (TAP)” to
Female First, this finding is related to the level of polyphenols in tea. Tea is rich in polyphenols, including
catechins and gallocatchins, which have been known to function as antioxidants and to have anti-tumor
effects.

The latest research conducted by Dr. Tim Bond from The Tea Advisory Panel (TAP) shows that
consuming black tea lowers cardiovascular risks. Flavonoid in tea helps improve blood vessel functions.
In this study, 20 healthy people consumed tea three times a day for one week. The results show that the
blood vessel function of these people increases after consuming tea that is not brewed with hot water.

According to the Daily Mail, scientists from Taiwan reported that consuming three cups of tea a
day helps prevent heart disease and improved blood circulation. Drinking more than 450 ml of tea every
day will reduce the risk of arteries becoming stiff, with a reduced risk of 22%. Research conducted by the
Harvard School of Public Health, America, also shows that tea has many health benefits. Besides being
able to lower blood pressure, tea can also help prevent the ovaries and digestive system cancer.
Consuming three cups of black tea or green tea every day can help prevent strokes. Drinking green tea, in
particular, can help reduce the risk of breast, prostate, and endometrial cancer.

24. In which paragraph does the writer emphasize the effect of drinking tea on breast cancer?
