Dear Fred,
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. I admired her a good and noble
woman. 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 friends,

Jack

neighbor like you all. The moment when we moved into this place, it was very awkward for us to

would never have been overcome.

In all the times, whether being the festive times or during the testing times, you have always
backed us on all our decision. You made us acknowledge the fact that neighbors are the first to
come to help in any situation and all the relatives, friends come later. I would like to exploit this

Yours sincerely.

21. How a Geyser Forms

A geyser field is usually located in an area where there has been recent volcanic activity. There
can be hundreds of geysers in a geyser field. Their positions depend on the system of channels
underground.

Cold surface water seeps underground. It flows through cracks in nonporous rock (rock
that does not soak up water) and collects in channels of porous rock (rock that soaks
up water). The water is heated by hot rock, and it begins to expand and boil. Water at
the top boils off or spills over. This reduces the pressure and causes deeper water to
boil much more violently, creating jets of steam and fountains of hot water.

Tense that are used in the text above is .....

A. past tense
B. future tense
C. present perfect
D. present tense
E. present continuous tense

Jawaban: D

22. The water is heated by hot rock, and it begins to expand and boil.

Butterflies are insects undergo a complete methamorphosis during their life cyrcle.
They are born as eggs that hatch into larvae and then grow into pupas, before
transforming into adults which are butterflies.

Adult female butterflies lay many almost-invisible eggs simulataneously on plants.

These plants, later, will become a source food for the hatching eggs, called larvae. At
the stage of larvae, the hatching eggs do not look like butterflies. The larvae of
butterflies are called caterpillars. The only thing caterpillars do is eat. The food they eat
will be stored and used when they become butterflies. During their growth before
turning into pupas called chrysalises, they shed skin 4 to 5 times. When they are fully
grown, they stop eating ant turn into pupas, hanging under branches, leaver or other
hidden areas. Inside the pupas, the cells of caterpillars turn into parts of butterflies’
bodies. When the caterpillars come out their pupas, they have already transformed into
butterflies. They have compound eyes and long antennae, and legs and wings. At the
final stage of their life cycle, the jobs of butterflies are mating, and laying eggs to
become the next caterpillars.
