Text 2 The following text is for questions no 5 – 11

Gelatin is a protein substance that comes from the skins and bones of animals. Most people
know it as the substance used to make a jellylike salad or dessert. Not only is it useful in making these
foods, but it is also beneficial to the consumer because of its high protein content. Gelatin is also
commonly used in the photographic industry and in making medicinal capsules.
(Gelatin adalah zat protein yang berasal dari kulit dan tulang hewan. Kebanyakan orang mengenalnya
sebagai bahan yang digunakan untuk membuat salad atau makanan penutup seperti jelly. Tidak hanya
bermanfaat dalam pembuatan makanan ini, tetapi juga bermanfaat bagi konsumen karena kandungan
proteinnya yang tinggi. Gelatin juga biasa digunakan dalam industri fotografi dan dalam pembuatan
kapsul obat.)
The process for producing gelatin is a long and complex one. In the processing of gelatin made
from bones, which varies slightly from that of gelatin make from skin, the grease first must be
eliminated. Then, the bones are soaked in a solution of hydrochloric acid in order to rid them of minerals
and are washed several ties in water. Next, the bones are placed in distilled water, heated to over 90oF
for a few hours, placed in fresh distilled water, and then heated again at a little over 100oF. A fluid
forms from this heating, and it is concentrated, chilled, and sliced. Finally, it is dried and ground. In
its final form, gelatin is white, tasteless, and odorless.
 (Proses pembuatan gelatin cukup panjang dan kompleks. Dalam pengolahan gelatin dari tulang yang
sedikit berbeda dengan gelatin dari kulit, terlebih dahulu harus dihilangkan lemaknya. Kemudian, tulang
direndam dalam larutan asam klorida untuk menghilangkan mineral dan dicuci beberapa ikatan dalam
air. Selanjutnya, tulang ditempatkan dalam air suling, dipanaskan hingga lebih dari 90oF selama
beberapa jam, ditempatkan dalam air suling segar, dan kemudian dipanaskan lagi pada suhu sedikit di
atas 100oF. Cairan terbentuk dari pemanasan ini, dan dipekatkan, didinginkan, dan diiris. Terakhir,
dikeringkan dan digiling. Dalam bentuk akhirnya, gelatin berwarna putih, tidak berasa, dan tidak berbau.)

 Text 4. The following text is for questions no 16 – 20
In autumn, the colour of the leaves changes into beautiful yellow, red, and brown. Do you know how this happens? To answer
that question, first we have to understand about leaves.( Di musim gugur, warna daun berubah menjadi kuning, merah, dan coklat
yang indah. Apakah Anda tahu bagaimana ini terjadi? Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, terlebih dahulu kita harus
memahami tentang daun.)
Leaves are the food factories of plants. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and they take carbon dioxide
from the air. Plants need glucose for energy and for their growth.( Daun adalah pabrik makanan tanaman. Tumbuhan mengambil
air dari tanah melalui akarnya dan mereka mengambil karbon dioksida dari udara. Tanaman membutuhkan glukosa untuk energi
dan untuk pertumbuhannya.)
The plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose. The process is called photosynthesis and the substance
that helps this photosynthesis process is called chlorophyll. This chlorophyll makes plants look green.( Tanaman menggunakan
sinar matahari untuk mengubah air dan karbon dioksida menjadi glukosa. Prosesnya disebut fotosintesis dan zat yang membantu
proses fotosintesis ini disebut klorofil. Klorofil inilah yang membuat tanaman terlihat hijau.)
As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. The trees "know" that they have to be ready for winter.
During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water for the photosynthesis process. The trees will rest, and use the food that they
have stored during summer. The trees begin to close their food factories. The green chlorophyll substance disappears from the
leaves. As the leaves begin to lose their green colour, they change into beautiful yellow and orange. (Saat musim panas berakhir
dan musim gugur tiba, hari-hari menjadi semakin pendek. Pohon-pohon "tahu" bahwa mereka harus siap menghadapi musim
dingin. Selama musim dingin, tidak ada cukup sinar matahari atau air untuk proses fotosintesis. Pohon-pohon akan beristirahat,
dan menggunakan makanan yang mereka simpan selama musim panas. Pepohonan mulai menutup pabrik makanan mereka.
Zat klorofil hijau menghilang dari daun. Saat daun mulai kehilangan warna hijaunya, mereka berubah menjadi kuning dan oranye
yang indah.)
In some trees, like maple tree, glucose is trapped in the leaves after the photosynthesis process stops. Sunlight and cool rights
turn the green colour of the leaves into red. Oak leaves become brown because of wastes that are left in the leaves. This
combination of red and brown makes the trees look very beautiful in autumn.( Di beberapa pohon, seperti pohon maple, glukosa
terperangkap di daun setelah proses fotosintesis berhenti. Sinar matahari dan hak sejuk mengubah warna hijau daun menjadi
merah. Daun ek menjadi coklat karena limbah yang tertinggal di daun. Perpaduan warna merah dan coklat ini membuat
pepohonan terlihat sangat indah di musim gugur.)

16. What is the best title for the text above?

A. Tree
B. Seasons
C. Photosynthesis
D. The changes of leaves
E. Beautiful Autumn
17. A part of trees which is used to take water from the ground is...
A. branch (cabang) B. root(akar) C. leave(daun) D. fruit(buah) E. stem(batang)
18. When do the trees produce their food?
A. in winter(dingin) D. in summer (panas)
B. in spring(semi) E. in fall(gugur)
C. in autumn(gugur)
19. “The plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose” (paragraph 3). The underlined word “turn(mengubah)” has
the same meaning as …
A. change(mengubah) B. absorb(menyerap) C. dry(mengering) D. take(mengambil) E. preserve (melestarikan)
20. What makes the trees look beautiful in autumn?
A. Because their leaves are doing photosynthesis.
B. Because the trees will rest and use their food.
C. Because they have stored their food.
D. Because sunlight and cool nights turn the color of leaves in maple tree.
E. Because the leaves color of trees change into beautiful combination of colours.

Text 6. The following text is for questions no 25 – 33

It has long been known that when exposed to light under suitable conditions of temperature and moisture, the green parts of
plants use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen to it. These exchanges are the opposite of those that occur in
respiration. The process is called photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and
water by the chloroplasts of plant cells in the presence of light. In most plants, the water used in photosynthesis is
absorbed from the soil by the roots and trans- located through the xylem of the root and stem to the leaves. Except for the usually
small percentage used in respiration, the oxygen released in the process diffuses out of the leaf into the atmosphere through the
stomata. Oxygen is the product of the reaction. For each molecule of carbon dioxide used, one molecule of oxygen is
released. A summary chemical equation for photosynthesis is( Telah lama diketahui bahwa ketika terkena cahaya di bawah
kondisi suhu dan kelembaban yang sesuai, bagian hijau tanaman menggunakan karbon dioksida dari atmosfer dan melepaskan
oksigen ke dalamnya. Pertukaran ini adalah kebalikan dari yang terjadi dalam respirasi. Prosesnya disebut fotosintesis. Dalam
fotosintesis, karbohidrat disintesis dari karbon dioksida dan air oleh kloroplas sel tumbuhan dengan adanya cahaya. Pada
sebagian besar tumbuhan, air yang digunakan dalam fotosintesis diserap dari tanah oleh akar dan dipindahkan melalui xilem
akar dan batang ke daun. Kecuali untuk persentase kecil yang biasanya digunakan dalam respirasi, oksigen yang dilepaskan
dalam proses tersebut berdifusi keluar dari daun ke atmosfer melalui stomata. Oksigen adalah produk dari reaksi. Untuk setiap
molekul karbon dioksida yang digunakan, satu molekul oksigen dilepaskan. Ringkasan persamaan kimia untuk fotosintesis
adalah)
As a result of this process, radiant energy from the sun is stored as chemical energy. In turn the chemical energy is used to
decompose carbon dioxide and water. The products of their decomposition are recombined into a new compound, which is
successively built up into more and more complex substances.
 After many intermediate steps, sugar is produced. At the same time, a balance of gases is preserved in the atmosphere.
(Sebagai hasil dari proses ini, energi radiasi dari matahari disimpan sebagai energi kimia. Pada gilirannya energi kimia digunakan
untuk menguraikan karbon dioksida dan air. Produk dekomposisi mereka digabungkan kembali menjadi senyawa baru, yang
secara berurutan dibangun menjadi zat yang semakin kompleks.
Setelah banyak langkah menengah, gula diproduksi. Pada saat yang sama, keseimbangan gas dipertahankan di atmosfer.)
