Dear Frodi,
It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was
ill, for your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem
to think the illness was very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a
shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I
know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your mother and loved her
so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself, for your mother was always very kind to
me. Her death must be a terrible grief to your father, too. Please assure him of my sincere
sympathy.
Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such
sorrows we are always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you
in your sorrow.
Your sincere friend,
Jean

Arti
Kepada Frodi ,
Sungguh kesedihan yang saya dengar pagi ini tentang kehilangan besar Anda. Aku tahu ibumu
sakit, karena kakakmu memberitahuku beberapa minggu yang lalu. Namun, karena dia pada
waktu itu tampaknya tidak berpikir penyakitnya sangat serius, berita kematian ibumu datang
kepada saya sebagai kejutan. Anda memiliki simpati yang tulus dan sepenuh hati, teman baik
saya, dalam kesedihan Anda. Saya tahu Anda akan merasakannya dalam-dalam, karena Anda
selalu begitu memikirkan ibu Anda dan sangat mencintainya. Saya merasakannya juga sebagai
kerugian pribadi bagi diri saya sendiri, karena ibumu selalu sangat baik kepada saya.
Kematiannya pasti sangat menyedihkan bagi ayahmu juga. Tolong yakinkan dia akan simpati
tulus saya.
Kata-kata, saya tahu, adalah selimut yang buruk. “Hati tahu kesedihannya sendiri”, dan dalam
kesedihan seperti itu kita selalu sendirian. Namun, itu bukan kata-kata belaka ketika saya
mengatakan bahwa saya merasa bersama Anda dalam kesedihan Anda.

Temanmu yang tulus,

Jean

I spend my all my weekends at the beach. I am getting a nice tan and you can no longer

building contest!
On the weekdays I work. I drive an ice cream truck around and sell ice cream to the kids.
It is so cool. It is a combination of the two things I love most, ice cream and kids. The pay
isn’t too great but I love the job so much.

bola voli, berselancar dan membangun koleksi kerang laut yang bagus. Baru-baru ini di akhir

anak. Itu sangat keren. Ini adalah kombinasi dari dua hal yang paling saya sukai, es krim dan
anak-anak. Bayarannya tidak terlalu besar tetapi saya sangat menyukai pekerjaan itu.

The following text is for questions 5 to 8.

Tsunami
A tsunami occurs when a major fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The displaced rock
pushes water above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful water waves at the ocean surface.
The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the earthquake source and move across the
ocean until they reach the coastline, where their height increases as they reach the continental
shelf, the part of the earth's crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor up to the land.

A tsunami washes ashore with often disastrous effects such as severe flooding, loss of lives due
to drowning, and damage to property.

A tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a disturbance along the ocean floor. This
disturbance can be an earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A tsunami is undetectable
far out in the ocean, but once it reaches shallow water, this fast-traveling wave grows very large.

A. The displaced rock pushes water above it.

B. A significant fault under the ocean floor slips suddenly.

C. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the source.

D. The waves move across the ocean until they reach the beach.

The following text is for questions 9 to 12.

All human beings eat food and use the chemical energy in it, as do all other animals. Perhaps you
wonder where all that chemical energy comes from. Why doesn't the food all get used up?

The answer is that new food is being grown as fast as old food is used. It is the green plants that
form the new food. Animals either eat the plants or eat other animals that have eaten plants.

The green substance of plants is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll can absorb sunlight. When it does so, it
changes the energy of the sun into chemical energy. The chemical energy present in sunlit
chlorophyll is used to combine dioxide in the air with water from the soil. Starch and other
complicated compounds are formed. These are high in chemical energy obtained from the sunlit
chlorophyll.

They make up the food on which mankind and all other animals live. In the process of forming
this food, some oxygen atoms are left over. These are given off into the air by the plants. The
whole process is called photosynthesis.

Thus, plants use sunlight to form food and oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water again. Plants
change the sun’s energy into chemical energy. And animals change the animal energy into kinetic
and heat energy.

9. The text is about ...

A. The process of changing chemical energy.

B. The formation of carbon dioxide.

C. The green substance of plants.

D. The process of photosynthesis.

10. What will happen when chlorophyll absorbs sunlight? It will ...

A. Change heat into kinetic energy.

B. Form complicated compound.

C. Make use of heat energy.

D. Change the sun's energy into chemical energy.

11. From the text we know that ...

A. Plants need to heat energy to live.

B. All human beings need chemical energy.

C. Plants absorb sunlight to produce kinetic energy.

D. Chlorophyll is the most important thing in photosynthesis.

12. The green substance of plants is chlorophyll. The underlined word is closest in meaning to ...

A. Core

B. Body

C. Stuff

D. Essence

The following text is for questions 13 to 15.

Silkworms live for only two or three days after laying eggs. About 36,000 to 50,000 eggs are laid,
and these are carefully stored at the silkworm farm until they are ready to hatch. The eggs hatch
into caterpillars, which feed on mulberry leaves. Soon, the caterpillars are ready to spin their
cocoons.

Not all caterpillars can spin silk cocoons. Only the caterpillars of a silkworm moth known as
‘Bombyx Marie can do the such spinning. This caterpillar has special glands which secrete liquid
silk through its lower lip. The liquid produced later hardens to form tine strands.

The caterpillar makes its cocoons using these strands. The threads on the outside of the cocoon
are rough, while those inside are soft and smooth.

Some fully-spun cocoons are heated. This kills the pupa inside. The cocoons are then put into hot
water to loosen the fine threads. Finally, these threads are reeled off the cocoons.

The length of unbroken thread produced by a single cocoon measures about one-and-a-half
kilometers. Being twisted together several of these threads make single woven materials.

 
13. What is the purpose of the text ...

A. To persuade readers to buy silk.

B. To put silk into different categories.

C. To entertain readers with knowledge.

D. To describe how silk comes into existence.

14. How are the threads on the outside of the cocoon ...

A. Fine

B. Soft

C. Rough

D. Strong

15. What are mulberry leaves for ...

A. Feeding caterpillars

B. Spinning cocoons

C. Storing threads

D. Hatching eggs

Teks Explanation 1
Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown
away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic
spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new
products.
In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy
than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for
high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the
manufacturing process.
Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office
paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old
newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum
foil. The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in
a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to
remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from
the paper fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or
burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper
again.
Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month.
Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One
ton of recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

Artinya
Daur ulang adalah pengumpulan, pemrosesan, dan penggunaan ulang bahan yang seharusnya
dibuang. Bahan mulai dari logam mulia hingga pecahan kaca, dari koran bekas hingga sendok
plastik, dapat didaur ulang. Proses daur ulang mengambil kembali bahan asli dan
menggunakannya dalam produk baru.
Secara umum, menggunakan bahan daur ulang untuk membuat produk baru lebih murah dan
membutuhkan lebih sedikit energi daripada menggunakan bahan baru. Daur ulang juga dapat
mengurangi polusi, baik dengan mengurangi permintaan untuk alternatif polusi tinggi atau
dengan meminimalkan jumlah polusi yang dihasilkan selama proses manufaktur.

Produk kertas yang dapat didaur ulang termasuk wadah karton, kertas kado, dan kertas
kantor. Produk kertas yang paling sering didaur ulang adalah kertas koran. Dalam daur ulang
koran, koran bekas dikumpulkan dan dicari kontaminan seperti kantong plastik dan
aluminium foil. Makalah ini pergi ke pabrik pengolahan yang dicampur dengan air panas dan
berubah menjadi bubur dalam mesin yang berfungsi seperti blender dapur besar. Pulp diputar
dan disaring untuk menghilangkan kontaminan yang lebih kecil. Pulp kemudian pergi ke tong
besar di mana tinta memisahkan dari serat kertas dan oat-oat ke permukaan. Tinta ini dilepas,
dikeringkan dan digunakan kembali sebagai tinta atau dibakar sebagai bahan bakar boiler.
Pulp yang dibersihkan dicampur dengan serat kayu baru untuk dibuat menjadi kertas lagi.
Para ahli memperkirakan rata-rata pekerja kantoran menghasilkan sekitar 5 kg sampah per
bulan. Setiap ton kertas yang didaur ulang menghemat sekitar 1.4 cu m (sekitar 50 cu ft)
ruang TPA. Satu ton kertas daur ulang menyimpan 17 pohon pulp (pohon yang digunakan
untuk memproduksi kertas).

Teks Explanation 2
Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells and
replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that
can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small
pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva
contains digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here,
the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the
food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing,
mixing and moving the food onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic
branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.

Artinya
Tubuh manusia terdiri dari jutaan sel yang tak terhitung jumlahnya. Makanan dibutuhkan untuk
membangun sel-sel baru dan menggantikan sel yang sudah usang. Namun, makanan yang kita
ambil harus diubah menjadi zat yang dapat dibawa dalam darah ke tempat-tempat di mana
mereka dibutuhkan. Proses ini disebut pencernaan.
Proses pencernaan pertama terjadi di mulut. Makanan yang kita makan dipecah menjadi
potongan-potongan kecil oleh aksi gigi, dicampur dengan air liur, jus yang dikeluarkan oleh
kelenjar di mulut. Air liur mengandung jus pencernaan yang melembabkan makanan, sehingga
dapat ditelan dengan mudah.

Dari mulut, makanan melewati esophagus (bagian makanan) ke dalam perut. Di sini,
makanan dicampur dengan jus yang disekresikan oleh sel-sel di lambung selama beberapa
jam. Kemudian makanan memasuki usus kecil. Sepanjang waktu dinding otot usus meremas,
mencampur dan menggerakkan makanan ke depan.
Dalam beberapa jam, makanan berubah menjadi asam. Ini segera diserap oleh vili (proyeksi
cabang mikroskopis dari dinding usus) dan masuk ke ali
ran darah.

Teks Explanation 3
Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we’ll enter the amazing
world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you’re eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions,
especially in places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a
fruit about the size of a small pine apple. Inside the fruit are the tree’s seeds, also known as
cocoa beans.
The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate
maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans
from different places have different qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted and blended to
produce a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing removes the meat
nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are ground to
make it a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some
amount of fat, and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is
why the ground nibs form liquid. It’s pure bitter chocolate.

Artinya
Pernahkah Anda bertanya-tanya bagaimana orang mendapatkan cokelat? Dalam artikel ini kita
akan memasuki dunia cokelat yang luar biasa sehingga Anda dapat memahami apa yang Anda
makan.
Cokelat dimulai dengan sebatang pohon yang disebut pohon kakao. Pohon ini tumbuh di daerah
khatulistiwa, terutama di tempat-tempat seperti Amerika Selatan, Afrika, dan Indonesia. Pohon
kakao menghasilkan buah seukuran buah pinus kecil. Di dalam buah adalah biji pohon, juga
dikenal sebagai biji kakao.
Kacang difermentasi selama sekitar satu minggu, dikeringkan di bawah sinar matahari dan
kemudian dikirim ke pembuat cokelat. Pembuat cokelat dimulai dengan memanggang kacang
untuk mengeluarkan rasa. Biji yang berbeda dari tempat yang berbeda memiliki kualitas dan rasa
yang berbeda, sehingga mereka sering disortir dan dicampur untuk menghasilkan campuran
yang khas. Selanjutnya, biji panggang sudah ditampi. Memenangkan menghilangkan nib daging
biji kakao dari cangkangnya. Kemudian, nibs diblender. Nibs dicampur tanah untuk membuatnya
cair. Cairan ini disebut minuman coklat. Rasanya pahit. Semua biji mengandung sejumlah lemak,
dan biji kakao tidak berbeda. Namun, biji kakao setengah gemuk, itulah mengapa biji tanah
membentuk cairan. Ini coklat pahit murni.

Teks Explanation 4
What is photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is a food-making process that occurs in green plants. It
is the chief function of leaves. The word photosynthesis means putting together with light. Green
plants use energy from light to combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and other
chemical compounds.
How is the light used in photosynthesis?
The light used in photosynthesis is absorbed by a green pigment called chlorophyll. Each food-
making cell in a plant leaf contains chlorophyll in small bodies called chloroplasts. In chloroplast,
light energy causes water drawn form the soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen.
What are the steps of photosynthesis process? Let me tell you the process of photosynthesis, in
a series of complicated steps, the hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide from the air, forming a
simple sugar. Oxygen from the water molecules is given off in the process. From sugar together
with nitrogen, sulphur, and phosporus from the soil-green plants can make starch, fat, protein,
vitamins, and other complex compounds essential for life. Photosynthesis provides the chemical
energy that is needed to produced these compounds.

Artinya
Apa itu fotosintesis? Fotosintesis adalah proses pembuatan makanan yang terjadi pada tanaman
hijau. Ini adalah fungsi utama dari daun. Kata fotosintesis berarti menyatu dengan cahaya.
Tanaman hijau menggunakan energi dari cahaya untuk menggabungkan karbon dioksida dan air
untuk membuat gula dan senyawa kimia lainnya.
Bagaimana cahaya yang digunakan dalam fotosintesis?
Cahaya yang digunakan dalam fotosintesis diserap oleh pigmen hijau yang disebut klorofil.
Setiap sel pembuatan makanan di daun tanaman mengandung klorofil dalam tubuh kecil yang
disebut kloroplas. Dalam kloroplas, energi cahaya menyebabkan air yang diambil membentuk
tanah untuk terpecah menjadi hidrogen dan oksigen.
Apa langkah-langkah proses fotosintesis? Biarkan saya memberi tahu Anda proses fotosintesis,
dalam serangkaian langkah rumit, hidrogen bergabung dengan karbon dioksida dari udara,
membentuk gula sederhana. Oksigen dari molekul air dilepaskan dalam proses. Dari gula
bersama dengan nitrogen, sulfur, dan fosforus dari tanaman hijau-tanah dapat membuat pati,
lemak, protein, vitamin, dan senyawa kompleks lainnya penting untuk kehidupan. Fotosintesis
menyediakan energi kimia yang diperlukan untuk menghasilkan senyawa-senyawa ini.

Teks Explanation 5
Biodiesel is a clean burning substitute for petroleum based diesel fuel. Biodiesel is made of
vegetable oil.
To make or manufacture Biodiesel, you must first start with raw materials. The raw materials
needed in the production of Biodiesel are a small amount of methanol and a ready supply of
vegetable product. One of the most common vegetables used in the production of Biodiesel is
corn, although depending on the geographic location of the manufacturing facility many other
plants are used as well (rapeseed, soybeans, flaxseed, etc.). The first step is to use the raw
vegetable product to make vegetable oil. Vegetable oil by itself will not be what you need to
power a car, from here it has to be processed into Biodiesel.
The process for converting vegetable oil into Biodiesel is sometimes called ester interchange. To
complete this process the vegetable oil has to be combined with a smaller amount of methanol
and then put in the presence of a small quantity of an alkaline catalyst (for example, 5% to 1%
sodium hydroxide). Vegetable oil is made up of so-called triglycerides, which is a compound of
the trivalent alcohol glycerin with three fatty acids. The goal of ester interchange is to separate
the glycerin molecule from the three fatty acids and replace it with three methanol molecules.
This process then yields roughly 90% Biodiesel and 10% of a glycerin byproduct. The glycerin
byproduct can be used in a number of other chemical processes for different industries.

Artinya
Biodiesel adalah pengganti pembakaran bersih untuk bahan bakar diesel berbasis minyak bumi.
Biodiesel terbuat dari minyak nabati.
Untuk membuat atau memproduksi Biodiesel, Anda harus terlebih dahulu mulai dengan bahan
baku. Bahan baku yang dibutuhkan dalam produksi Biodiesel adalah sejumlah kecil metanol dan
pasokan produk sayuran siap pakai. Salah satu sayuran yang paling umum digunakan dalam
produksi Biodiesel adalah jagung, meskipun tergantung pada lokasi geografis fasilitas
manufaktur banyak tanaman lain yang digunakan juga (rapeseed, kedelai, biji rami, dll). Langkah
pertama adalah menggunakan produk nabati mentah untuk membuat minyak nabati. Minyak
sayur dengan sendirinya tidak akan menjadi apa yang Anda butuhkan untuk menyalakan mobil,
dari sini ia harus diolah menjadi Biodiesel.
Proses untuk mengubah minyak nabati menjadi Biodiesel kadang-kadang disebut ester
interchange. Untuk menyelesaikan proses ini minyak nabati harus dikombinasikan dengan
jumlah metanol yang lebih sedikit dan kemudian dimasukkan ke dalam sejumlah kecil katalis
alkalin (misalnya, 5% sampai 1% natrium hidroksida). Minyak nabati terdiri dari apa yang disebut
trigliserida, yang merupakan senyawa dari alkohol gliserin trivalen dengan tiga asam lemak.
Tujuan pertukaran ester adalah memisahkan molekul gliserin dari tiga asam lemak dan
menggantinya dengan tiga molekul metanol. Proses ini kemudian menghasilkan sekitar 90%
Biodiesel dan 10% dari produk sampingan gliserin. Produk sampingan gliserin dapat digunakan
dalam sejumlah proses kimia lainnya untuk industri yang berbeda.

Teks Explanation 6
A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually
causes great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or died.
Some people are homeless and need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto the
surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last
for a brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding
land is flat and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and
rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood
adjacent lowland.
In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They
bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the
destruction to surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept
away by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and uprooted from their beds.
Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps
were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a
human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to hand to
be poured on the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small
village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole
blocks and neighborhoods before being controlled. (Soal UN SMA/MA IPA 2011/2012)

Artinya
Bencana alam adalah kecelakaan yang mengerikan, misalnya banjir besar, kebakaran besar
atau gempa bumi. Biasanya menyebabkan penderitaan besar dan kehilangan sejumlah besar
uang. Korban terluka atau meninggal. Beberapa orang kehilangan tempat tinggal dan
membutuhkan perawatan medis.
Banjir terjadi ketika air sungai, danau, atau sungai meluap dan mengalir ke tanah di sekitarnya.
Banjir disebabkan oleh banyak hal yang berbeda. Sering badai hujan deras yang berlangsung
singkat bisa menyebabkan banjir. Namun tidak semua badai berat diikuti oleh banjir. Jika tanah
di sekitarnya datar dan dapat menyerap air, tidak akan terjadi banjir. Namun, jika tanahnya keras
dan berbatu, hujan deras tidak dapat diserap. Di mana bank-bank rendah, sungai mungkin
meluap dan membanjiri dataran rendah yang berdekatan.
Di banyak bagian dunia, banjir disebabkan oleh badai tropis yang disebut angin topan atau
topan. Mereka membawa angin yang merusak dengan kecepatan tinggi, hujan deras, dan banjir.
Ketika banjir terjadi, perusakan terhadap tanah di sekitarnya bisa parah. Seluruh desa dan kota
terkadang tersapu oleh air yang mengalir deras di atas tanah. Jalur kereta api diblokir dan dijebol
dari tempat tidur mereka. Jalan raya tersapu bersih.
Ketika sebuah bangunan terbakar, para petugas pemadam menembak untuk membantu
pertempuran kobaran api. Sebelum pompa ditemukan, orang membentuk brigade ember untuk
melawan kebakaran. Berdiri berdampingan, mereka membentuk rantai manusia dari api ke
sumur atau sungai terdekat. Mereka melewati ember air dari tangan untuk dituangkan ke atas
api.
Kerusakan api sangat bergantung pada tempat terjadinya. Di negara atau desa kecil, hanya satu
rumah yang bisa terbakar. Namun di kota-kota yang padat, api sering menghancurkan seluruh
blok dan lingkungan sebelum dikontrol. (Soal UN SMA / MA IPA 2011/2012)

Teks Explanation 7
The sense of taste is one of a person’s five senses. We taste with the help of taste-buds in the
tongue.
There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other tastes are just mixtures
of two or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are
connected to the brain by special nerves which send the so-called ‘tastes messages.
When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will pick up the taste.
The nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste. All this
happens in just a few seconds.
There are four kinds of taste-buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular taste. These
four groups are located in different parts of the tongue.
The taste-buds for salty and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue and along its
sides. Sour tastes can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste-buds of the bitter
taste are found at the innermost edge of the tongue. There are taste-buds at the centre of the
tongue.
The senses of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its taste.
Similarly, attractive colours can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does not
smell good or is dull-coloured, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all.
Very hot or cold sensations can make the taste-buds insensitive. Food that is too hot or too cold,
when placed in the mouth, will have no tastes at all.

Artinya
Indera perasa adalah salah satu dari lima indra seseorang. Kami merasakan dengan bantuan
lidah-lidah di lidah.
Ada empat jenis rasa utama: manis, asam, asin, dan pahit. Semua rasa lainnya hanyalah
campuran dari dua atau lebih dari jenis-jenis utama ini.
Permukaan lidah memiliki lebih dari lima belas ribu pengecap (atau sel). Ini terhubung ke otak
oleh saraf khusus yang mengirim apa yang disebut ‘pesan rasa.
Saat lidah bersentuhan dengan makanan apa pun, tunas rasa akan menangkap rasanya. Saraf
kemudian mengirim pesan ke otak. Ini akan membuat kita sadar akan rasanya. Semua ini terjadi
hanya dalam beberapa detik.
Ada empat jenis indera pengecap, yang masing-masing sensitif hanya pada rasa tertentu.
Keempat kelompok ini terletak di berbagai bagian lidah.
Piring-selera untuk rasa asin dan manis ditemukan di sekitar ujung lidah dan di sepanjang
sisinya. Rasa asam dapat diambil hanya di sisi lidah. Rasa pahit dari rasa pahit ditemukan di
ujung lidah terdalam. Ada lidah-lidah di tengah lidah.
Indera penciuman dan penglihatan bisa memengaruhi selera. Bau makanan yang baik
meningkatkan rasanya. Sama halnya, warna yang menarik bisa membuat makanan tampak lebih
lezat dan lebih lezat. Jika makanan tidak beraroma baik atau berwarna kusam, makanan akan
terlihat lezat dan tidak enak rasanya.
Sensasi yang sangat panas atau dingin dapat membuat pucuk peka tidak sensitif. Makanan
yang terlalu panas atau terlalu dingin, ketika ditempatkan di mulut, tidak akan memiliki selera
sama sekali.

A cell phone is a great gadget in this modern world. What is a cell phone? A cell phone is
actually a radio in certain way. Like a radio, by a cell phone we can communicate to other people
in real time. Million people use cell phone for their communication. Even nowadays, people use
cell phones to communicate in voice, written and data. Alexander Graham Bell is the person who
make great change in the way people communicate to each other. He invented a telephone in
1876. While wireless radio was formally known in 18994 presented by Guglielmo Marconi. By
these two technologies, then a cell phone was born. However do you know how actually cell
phones work?
This short explanation on how a cell phone work is really wonderful. A cell phone or in long term
“cellular telephone’ works by transmitting signals of radio to towers of cellular. The towers are
networked to a central switching station. The connection usually uses wire, fiber optic-cables, or
microwave.
Then the central switching station which handles calls in certain given area is directed connected
to the wire-based telephone system. Cellulars are pick up by the towers and relayed to another
cellular telephone user or the user of wire-based telephone network.
the towers vary in the capacity and capability to receive signals. Some can receive the signal
from short distance and the others can receive more distance. However, there are usually more
than one tower in certain given area so that the system can handle the increasing telephone
traffic.

Artinya
Ponsel adalah gadget hebat di dunia modern ini. Apa itu ponsel? Ponsel sebenarnya adalah
radio dengan cara tertentu. Seperti radio, melalui telepon seluler kita dapat berkomunikasi
dengan orang lain secara real time. Jutaan orang menggunakan ponsel untuk komunikasi
mereka. Bahkan saat ini, orang menggunakan ponsel untuk berkomunikasi dalam suara, tertulis
dan data. Alexander Graham Bell adalah orang yang membuat perubahan besar dalam cara
orang berkomunikasi satu sama lain. Dia menemukan telepon pada tahun 1876. Sementara
radio nirkabel secara resmi dikenal pada 18994 yang disajikan oleh Guglielmo Marconi. Dengan
dua teknologi ini, kemudian ponsel lahir. Namun tahukah Anda bagaimana sebenarnya ponsel
bekerja?
Penjelasan singkat tentang bagaimana cara kerja ponsel benar-benar indah. Sebuah telepon
seluler atau dalam “telepon seluler” jangka panjang bekerja dengan mengirimkan sinyal radio ke
menara-menara seluler. Menara-menara tersebut dihubungkan ke pusat stasiun switching.
Sambungan biasanya menggunakan kawat, kabel serat optik, atau gelombang mikro.
Kemudian stasiun sentral switching yang menangani panggilan di area tertentu yang diberikan
diarahkan terhubung ke sistem telepon berbasis kawat. Cellulars diambil oleh menara dan
diteruskan ke pengguna telepon seluler lain atau pengguna jaringan telepon berbasis kawat.
menara bervariasi dalam kapasitas dan kemampuan untuk menerima sinyal. Beberapa dapat
menerima sinyal dari jarak dekat dan yang lain dapat menerima jarak yang lebih jauh. Namun,
biasanya ada lebih dari satu menara di area tertentu sehingga sistem dapat menangani
peningkatan lalu lintas telepon.

Teks Explanation 9
Silkworms live for only two or three days after laying eggs. About 36,000 to 50,000 eggs are laid,
and these are carefully stored at the silkworm farm until they are ready to hatch. The eggs hatch
into caterpillars, which feed on mulberry leaves. Soon, the caterpillars are ready to spin their
cocoons. Not all caterpillars can spin silk cocoons. Only the caterpillars of a silkworm moth
known as ‘Bombyx mari’ can do such spinning. This caterpillar has special glands which secrete
liquid silk through its lower lip. The liquid produced later hardens to form tine strands.
The caterpillar makes its cocoons using these strands. The threads on the outside of the cocoon
are rough, while those inside are soft and smooth.
Some fully-spun cocoons are heated. This kills the pupa inside. The cocoons are then put into
hot water to loosen the fine threads. Finally, these threads are reeled off the cocoons.
The length of unbroken thread produced by a single cocoon measures about one-and-a-half
kilometers. Being twisted together several of these threads make single woven materials.

Artinya
Ulat sutra hidup hanya dua atau tiga hari setelah bertelur. Sekitar 36.000 hingga 50.000 telur
diletakkan, dan ini disimpan dengan hati-hati di peternakan ulat sutera sampai mereka siap
menetas. Telur menetas menjadi ulat, yang memakan daun murbei. Segera, ulat siap memutar
kepompong mereka. Tidak semua ulat dapat memutar kepompong sutera. Hanya ulat ngengat
ulat sutera yang dikenal sebagai ‘Bombyx mari’ yang bisa melakukan pemintalan seperti itu. Ulat
ini memiliki kelenjar khusus yang mengeluarkan sutra cair melalui bibir bawahnya. Cairan yang
dihasilkan kemudian mengeras membentuk untaian tine.
Ulat membuat kepompongnya menggunakan untaian ini. Benang di bagian luar kepompong
kasar, sedangkan yang di dalam lembut dan halus.
Beberapa kepompong sepenuhnya dipanaskan. Ini membunuh pupa di dalam. Kepompong
kemudian dimasukkan ke dalam air panas untuk melonggarkan benang halus. Akhirnya,
benang-benang ini digulung dari kepompong.
Panjang benang tak terputus yang dihasilkan oleh satu kepompong berukuran sekitar satu
setengah kilometer. Diputar bersama beberapa benang ini membuat bahan tenunan tunggal.

Teks Explanation 10
A geyser is the result of underground water under the combined conditions of high temperatures
and increased pressure beneath the surface of the earth. Since temperature rises approximately
1 F for every sixty feet under the earth’s surface, and pressure increases with depth, the water
that seeps down in crack and fissures until it reaches very hot rock in the earth interior becomes
heated to temperature in excess of 290 F. Because of the greater pressure, the water shoots out
of the surface in the form of steam and hot water. The result is a geyser. In order to function,
then a geyser must have a source of heat, reservoir where water can be stored until the
temperature rises to an unstable point, an opening through which the hot water and steam can
escape, and underground channels for resupplying water after an eruption.
Favorable conditions for geyser exist in some regions of the world including New Zealand,
Iceland, and the Yellowstone National Park area of the United States. The most famous geyser
in the world is Old Faithfull in Yellow Park. Old Faithfull erupts almost every hour, rising to a
height of 125 to 170 feet and expelling more than ten thousand gallons during each eruption.

Artinya
Geyser adalah hasil dari air bawah tanah di bawah kondisi gabungan suhu tinggi dan
peningkatan tekanan di bawah permukaan bumi. Karena suhu naik sekitar 1 F untuk setiap
enam puluh kaki di bawah permukaan bumi, dan tekanan meningkat dengan kedalaman, air
yang merembes ke dalam retakan dan celah sampai mencapai batu yang sangat panas di
interior bumi menjadi dipanaskan sampai suhu lebih dari 290 F. Karena tekanan yang lebih
besar, air menyembur keluar dari permukaan dalam bentuk uap dan air panas. Hasilnya adalah
geyser. Agar berfungsi, maka geyser harus memiliki sumber panas, waduk di mana air dapat
disimpan sampai suhu naik ke titik yang tidak stabil, suatu pembukaan melalui mana air panas
dan uap dapat melarikan diri, dan saluran bawah tanah untuk memasok air setelah letusan.
Kondisi yang menguntungkan untuk geyser ada di beberapa wilayah dunia termasuk Selandia
Baru, Islandia, dan kawasan Taman Nasional Yellowstone di Amerika Serikat. Geyser paling
terkenal di dunia adalah Old Faithfull in Yellow Park. Old Faithfull meletus hampir setiap jam,
naik ke ketinggian 125 hingga 170 kaki dan mengeluarkan lebih dari sepuluh ribu galon selama
setiap letusan.

A kite is an object which is made from a light material stretched over a frame. Due to its light
material a kite will lift off the ground and fly when it is tilted into the wind.
A kite is uses wind to make it fly because it is heavier than air. When wind travels over the
surface of the kite, it is split into two streams of air. One stream of the air goes over the kite while
the second stream goes under the kite.
The upper stream above the kite. The lower stream hits the kite at a shallow angle and creates
an area of high pressure.
The high pressure area has a pushing effect while the low pressure area has a pulling effect. The
combination of push and pull can creates enough force to lift the kite into the air.
Kites have been known for thousand of years. They are used for military or scientific purposes.
Todays kites are much used for leisure and competition.

Teks Explanation 12
Acid rain is rain that is highly acidic because of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other air
pollutants dissolved in it. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6. Acid rain may have a pH
value as low as 2.8.
Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life. Certain lakes, for example, have lost
all fish and plant life because of acid rain.
Acid rain comes from sulfur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulfur dioxide (SO2 ).
Most sulfur leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulfur dioxide (SO2 ) and most nitrogen are
also emitted as one of the nitrogen oxides (NO or NO2 ), both of which are gasses. The gasses
may be dry deposited–absorbed directly by the land, by lakes or by the surface vegetation. If
they are in the atmosphere for anytime, the gasses will oxidize (gain an oxygen atom) and go
into solution as acids. Sulphuric acid (H2 SO4 ) and the nitrogen oxides will become nitric acid
(HNO3 ). The acids usually dissolve in cloud droplets and may travel great distances before
being precipitated as acid rain.
Catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and ammonium help promote the formation of
acids in clouds. More ammonium (NH4 ) can be formed when some of the acids are partially
neutralized by airborne ammonia (NH3 ). Acidification increases with the number of active
hydrogen (H+) ions dissolved in acid. Hydrocarbons emitted by, for example, car exhausts will
react in sunlight with nitrogen oxides to produce ozone. Although it is invaluable in the
atmosphere, low-level ozone causes respiratory problems and also hastens the formation of acid
rain. When acid rain falls on the ground it dissolves and liberates heavy metals and aluminum
(Al). When it is washed into lakes, aluminum irritates the outer surfaces of many fish. As acid rain
falls or drains into the lake the pH of the lake falls. Forests suffer the effect of acid rain through
damage to leaves, through the loss of vital nutrients, and through the increased amounts of toxic
metals liberated by acid, which damage roots and soil microorganisms.

Artinya
Hujan asam adalah hujan yang sangat asam karena sulfur oksida, nitrogen oksida, dan polutan
udara lainnya terlarut di dalamnya. Hujan normal sedikit asam, dengan pH 6. Hujan asam
mungkin memiliki nilai pH serendah 2,8.
Hujan asam dapat sangat merusak kehidupan tanaman dan hewan. Danau tertentu, misalnya,
telah kehilangan semua ikan dan tanaman hidup karena hujan asam.
Hujan asam berasal dari belerang dalam batu bara dan minyak. Ketika mereka terbakar, mereka
membuat sulfur dioksida (SO2). Sebagian besar sulfur meninggalkan cerobong pabrik sebagai
gas sulfur dioksida (SO2) dan sebagian besar nitrogen juga dipancarkan sebagai salah satu
nitrogen oksida (NO atau NO2), keduanya adalah gas. Gas-gasnya dapat didepositkan secara
kering — diserap langsung oleh tanah, oleh danau atau oleh vegetasi permukaan. Jika mereka
berada di atmosfer kapan saja, gas akan mengoksidasi (mendapatkan atom oksigen) dan masuk
ke dalam larutan sebagai asam. Asam sulfat (H2 SO4) dan nitrogen oksida akan menjadi asam
nitrat (HNO3). Asam biasanya larut dalam tetesan awan dan dapat melakukan perjalanan jauh
sebelum diendapkan sebagai hujan asam.
Katalis seperti hidrogen peroksida, ozon, dan amonium membantu mempromosikan
pembentukan asam di awan. Lebih ammonium (NH4) dapat terbentuk ketika beberapa asam
sebagian dinetralkan oleh amonia udara (NH3). Pengasaman meningkat dengan jumlah ion
hidrogen aktif (H +) yang terlarut dalam asam. Hidrokarbon yang dipancarkan oleh, misalnya,
knalpot mobil akan bereaksi di bawah sinar matahari dengan nitrogen oksida untuk
menghasilkan ozon. Meskipun sangat berharga di atmosfer, ozon tingkat rendah menyebabkan
masalah pernapasan dan juga mempercepat pembentukan hujan asam. Ketika hujan asam jatuh
ke tanah itu melarutkan dan membebaskan logam berat dan aluminium (Al). Ketika dicuci ke
danau, aluminium mengiritasi permukaan luar banyak ikan. Ketika hujan asam turun atau
mengalir ke danau, pH danau turun. Hutan menderita efek hujan asam melalui kerusakan daun,
melalui hilangnya nutrisi penting, dan melalui peningkatan jumlah logam beracun yang
dibebaskan oleh asam, yang merusak akar dan mikroorganisme tanah.
