The following monologue is for questions no 11-14
There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly
used may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations
is the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the
soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer
and stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects
the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen
and applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological balance and
environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in
agriculture and livestock.

11. Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides used?

A. Plants
B. Ecology
C. Animals.
D. Environment.
E. Human Beings
12. What can you say about paragraph two and four?
A. The fourth paragraph supports the idea stated in paragraph two.
B. Both paragraphs tell about the disadvantages of using pesticides.
C. Both paragraphs tell about how pesticides affect the quality of farm products.
D. The statement in paragraph is contrary to the statement in paragraph four.
E. The second paragraph tells about the effects of using pesticides on animals mentioned in
paragraph four.
13. One of the disadvantages of using chemical pesticides is …
A. Killing fish and bees.
B. Increasing crops productivity.
C. Creating balanced ecosystem.
D. Causing the pests to become inactive
 E. Helping reduce pollutants in the environment.
14. Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. (paragraph 3). The word resistant in the
sentence above means …

The following monologue is for questions no 15-17

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious problem for
three reasons.
Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimens and experiments.
Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a
disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservatives. Of course
when it is used for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.
The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This condition
makes the people’s health is really in a threat. When the control is weak and the use formalin was
spread wide all over the Indonesian regions, and these days it has really happened, the citizen’s
bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons.
Fish or food traders still sell their products which contain formalin and dangerous
preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system absorbs the substance that should be for
the human and animal corpses? Considering the reasons, we can make a conclusion that the use of
formalin and other preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.

B. The use of formal dehyde is necessary to control the food
C. People should add 100% solution of formaldehyde in water

The following Text is for questions no 34-37

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.

A. The digestive system
B. The digestive juice

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.

38. What step after the hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide from the air …
A. Photosynthesis provides the chemical energy that is needed to produced these
compounds.
B. Water drawn form the soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen.
C. Food-making process that occurs in green plants.
D. Phosporus from the soil-green plants can make starch, fat, protein, vitamins, and other
complex compounds essential for life.
