Questions 19 to 26

Read the text carefully in each question. Choose the best answer A, B, C or D. For each question, mark the
correct answer A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.

Today’s active adults may find their on-the-go lifestyle sometimes cause them to miss out on
important nutrients. Work, sports, children and leisure activities can have an effect on meal
preparations and eating habits. Therefore, the average diet today leaves a lot to be desired.

Research finds out meals lacking in a number of essential nutrients, including calcium,
potassium, magnesium, and vitamins A, C and D. The need for additional food supplements
has practically become a necessity. The average person now eats very few helpings of fruits
and vegetables. Processed food removes the natural nutrients and replaces them with artificial
supplements. The air we breathe contains increasingly more oxidizing pollutants.

That is why a variety of food supplements are in the market to help us to get the
nutritional support to do our work well. These supplements can be obtained in pharmacies,
health stores and supermarkets. To be healthy, we must make sure we have a foundational
nutrition. We must give the body what it needs. The body does its best with whatever food
we feed it. Dietary supplements are products taken by mouth that contain dietary ingredients
intended to supplement the diet. The dietary ingredients in these products may include
vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids and substances such as enzymes,
organ tissues and metabolites. Dietary supplements can also be extracts or concentrates and
may be found in many forms such as tablets, capsules, soft gels, liquids or powders.

It is important to take supplements from several different sources. It is not good to rely
on any one brand. You want to have a variety of nutritional products so that you are getting
whole food sources from three or four different manufacturers on a daily basis. This is the
best way to be sure that you are getting a full complement of fruits, vegetables, mushrooms
and other food sources that can provide peak nutrition for you. Consumers benefit from a food
supplement industry that ranks amongst the most sophisticated in the world. In the world of
holistic nutrition, we take whole food from nature that is grown organically. If we do not, then
we take super food supplements. They are dried, ground into powder and then shaped into
pills or tablets. Super foods that are popular in the market include spirulina, garlic, blue-green
8 algae and wheatgrass.

There is no doubt that we need a variety of nutrients ranging from carbohydrates, protein, fat,
vitamins, minerals and water each day to stay healthy. This includes calcium and vitamin D to
0000000000i0ii oMODUL KENDIRI – Pecutan Akhir BAHASA INGGERIS 2023/20240

healthy immune system and vision. Yet the source of these nutrients is important. Usually it is
best to try to get these nutrients from food as opposed to health supplements. Fruits,
vegetables, fish and other healthy foods contain nutrients and other substances not found in a
pill. We cannot get the same synergistic effect from a supplement.

Taking certain dietary supplements in higher-than-recommended doses may even

interfere with nutrient absorption or cause side effects. While most of the supplements are
safe for consumption as long as we follow the instructions and dosage, we should not take
them as we like. Getting our nutrients straight from a pill sounds easy, but supplements do not
necessarily deliver on the promise of better health. Some can even be dangerous, especially
when taken in larger-than-recommended amounts. Taking them excessively can be harmful.
for instance, an overdose of vitamin C can cause diarrhea. Another example is amino acid
supplements which are widely used by athletes who believe that having more of these basic
building blocks available enables skeletal muscles to get stronger and have better endurance
without the added calories. However, an excess of amino acid supplements tends to cause an
imbalance of the amino acids already present in the body. Consequently, they cause fever,
skin rash, muscle and joint pains.

Questions 27 to 32

You are going to read an article about the 5G technology.

Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose the sentences (A to H) to fit each gap (27 to 32).
There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. For each questions, mark the correct answer
(A to H) on your answer sheet.

Understanding the Advantages of 5G

What is 5G exactly? 27 . It offers much faster data download-and-upload speeds.

compared to 4G, 5G networks feature improvements that will have far-reaching impacts on how
people live, work, and play all over the world.

Each wireless network generation has reflected a significant increase in speed. The benefits
of 5G - the 5th generation of cellular network technology - we'll have to push far beyond 4G LTE.
5G has the predicted speeds of up to 10Gbps, which amounts to a hundredfold increase if compared
to the speed off 4G. 28 . For example, with 4G, we need at least 10 minutes to download a
high-resolution movie at optimum speeds. however, we can download the same movie at peak
download speeds in just six seconds with 5G.

29 . In other words, latency is the time needed for a device to react to the order
given by a user. One of the goals for each wireless generation has been to reduce latency. New 5G
networks will have even lower latency than 4G LTE, with the round-trip transmission of data taking
less than 5 milliseconds. The short latency of 5G can be applied in a wide range of fields. 30
.

5G latency makes many previously unthinkable innovations possible and one of them is
Internet of Things (IoT). 31 . These physical objects can connect and exchange data with
11 other devices and systems over the Internet. For example, IoT enables the manufacturer to improve

A It is the next generation of mobile Internet connection.

B Therefore, it is essential for us to understand and embrace the technology.
C For example, in the field of medicine, the surgeon living in one country can perform a “tele-
surgery” on a patient living in another country by operating a surgical device remotely.
D The United States, China, and South Korea are expected to be among the first to install full 5G
networks.
E In real life, the speed and enhancements of 5G will mean exciting possibilities for consumers.
F 5G will enable billions of new connections with speed and security.
G The Internet of Things (IoT). Refers to the network of physical things, such as machines,
animals, people and computers, that are embedded with sensors, software, and other
technologies.
H lithomancy measures how long a signal takes to go from its source to its receiver, and then back
again.
