The following text is for questions 5 to 8.

The issue of using drugs to enhance athlete’s performance is controversial.
Those who agree to the use of drug in enhancing performance say that most-top players
in all sports take drugs to train harder and feel no pain during the play. The trainers, sports
doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists and managers of the big names make sure banned
substances are taken at the safest and most efficient levels. The main effect of banning such
substances has been to turn performers and their coaches into liars and cheaters. We should
legalize performance-enhancing drugs so that they can be regulated and athletes on the way up
-whose entourage do not yet include savvy physiotherapists and doctors- don’t overdose and
do themselves damage.
 On the other hand, some still believe that performance enhancing drugs in sport should
be banned. Performance-enhancing drugs are not only prohibited because they violate the
spirit of sport but because they can damage the health of athletes. The idea of allowing them in
sport could lead to a situation whereby sportsmen and women are used as human guinea pigs
for a constant flow of new, unregulated substances. The long-term effects don’t bear thinking
about.
5. What does the text mainly discuss?
a. The controversy of using drugs to enhance athlete’s performance.
b. The benefit of drugs in enhancing athlete’s performance.
c. The danger of using drugs in sport.
d. Proponents for drugs use in sport.
e. Drug regulation for athletes.
6. What does the second paragraph tell?
a. The effective and planned sports training
b. The proponents of performance enhancing drugs
c. The agreement of using performance enhancing drugs.
d. The main effect of banning performance enhancing drugs
e. The involvement of trainers, sport doctors and nutritionists.
7. Why do people disagree with the use of performance enhancing drugs?
a. Athletes’ health is badly affected
b. Athletes consume more drugs
c. Athletes are independent
d. Athletes violate the rules
e. Athletes perform better
8. ‘Those who agree to the use of drug in enhancing performance say that ….’ (Paragraph 2).
What does the underlined word mean?

The following text is for questions 9 to 12.

Students’ cheating is one of the biggest problems faced by teachers nowadays.
Despite the fact that teachers advise their students not to do dishonest acts during tests,
some students still do cheating. There are many kinds of cheating that students do during the
test or examination, such as looking other students’ work, put some notes under their clothes,
write notes or formulas on their desks, make hand signals or go to rest rooms to get the
answers from their friends.
In my views, students do cheating are committing a crime. It is a sort of taking something
illegally. This crime causes negative results to the students who always cheat deteriorate their
mental capacity. Cheating acts also create dependence. They weaken their self-confidence.
Instead of preparing for the coming test, they are busy to organize notes on a piece of paper. If
this awful habit continues, the students will lose their opportunity to develop their intellectual
and mind.
Therefore, school should consider cheating as a serious problem. School board and
administration should go hand in hand to overcome this matter. Honesty must be put in
school’s vision. Harsh punishment must be applied to students who commit this crime.
9. What is mainly discussed in the text?
a. School policy d. Mental deterioration
b. Harsh punishment e. Different ways of cheating
c. Cheating as a crime
10. What will the school do to eliminate students who commit cheating?
a. Create a good vision d. Make students confident
b. Select honest students e. Administer the school affair
c. Make harsh punishment
11. ‘Students who always cheat deteriorate their mental capacity.’ (Paragraph 3).
The underlined word means…
a. Support d. Create
b. Worsen e. Find
c. Cause
12. ‘They weaken their self-confidence.’ (Paragraph 3).
What does ‘they’ refer to?
a. Tests d. Students
b. Papers e. Cheatings
c. Results

The following text is for questions 13 to 15.

The United States and Canada will someday join the 95 percent of the world that uses the
metric rather than the English system of measurement. No longer will North American
schoolchildren have to memorize that there are 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard. Inches will
become centimeters, pounds will become kilograms, quarts will become liters, and degrees
Fahrenheit will become degrees centigrade (also called Celsius).
The conversion to the metric system will not be easy, however, and will require enormous
amounts of money and time. For example, every piece of machinery in every factory and every
office will have to be replaced. Furthermore, every machine and tools that makes, repairs, or
supplies another piece of equipment will have to be changed. Not only every nut, bolt, and
screw but also every wrench, drill, and screwdriver will have to be replaced, as any auto
mechanic who had tried to fix an imported car with a set of American tools realizes. Therefore,
although the United States and Canada are committed to “going metric,” it will not happen next
week or even next year. Because of the magnitude of the problems that metrics conversion will
involve, the change will have to be gradual and, above all, carefully planned.

13. The text talks about the possibility of the US and Canada to …
a. Build more factories
b. Join the world policy in trade
c. Change the measurement system
 d. Compete their products in the world.
e. Use the English system if measurement.
14. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
a. Most of people apply the metric system
b. Many countries use the measurement system
c. It is not easy to convert to the metric system
d. There is a lot of money needed to change a system
e. The change of the metric system lasts gradually
15. Why will the metric system conversion take gradually?
a. Most of American people do not like it.
b. There are a lot of problems involved
c. Every nut has to be changed
d. It affects the US trade
e. It is not applicable

The following text is for questions 20 to 22

Dogs are members of the Canidae family of mammals. Most of them are good runner,
with muscular, deep-chested bodies and slender legs.
They have four toes on each paw, plus a thumb like toe on each forepaw and sometimes
on the rear feet as well. They walk on their toes, which are well padded. Dogs have 42 teeth –
some for gripping and tearing flesh, some for cutting, and others for grinding food.
Dogs have superb hearing and fairly good eyesight, but their keenest sense is smell, which
can detect the faintest scent days or even weeks after its source has gone.
Dogs use their voices regularly. They bark to raise an alarm, to show aggression or fear, or
as a cry for help. Growing usually means “stay away” or “I’m going to bite”. They may also howl,
whimper, or whine to show their feelings.
The dogs we know as pets are descended from wolves. They were domesticated, or
tamed and raised by people, more than 12,000 years ago.
Today dogs depend on people for food, shelter and safety. They give a great deal in
return. Some are trained to guard property. Others herd farm animals, work with hunters, sniff
out bombs or drugs at airports, or search for survivors at disaster scenes. Specially trained dogs
assist people who cannot see or hear, or who use a wheelchair.

DUBAI United Arab Emirates (AP) - An Emirates flight from India with over 300 people on

To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, the number of dustbins should be
increased.
Look at the classrooms, school corridors and school yard and you will see paper, mineral
water cups, straws and paper tissue everywhere. The condition really affects learning and
teaching. Litter thrown carelessly can cause disease, especially empty plastic cups or glasses.
They can hold rain and this can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Besides, these rubbish
can disturb the view. The painted wall and green school yard do not mean anything when litters
are everywhere.
Anyway, I suggest that students of this school have more responsibility for the school
environment. They should put their littler in the proper places. But, some do not care enough to
find the dustbins. In fact we do not have enough dustbins for all areas of our schools. One
dustbin should be put beside each stair, outside the classrooms, and along the corridors. Ideally
there should be one dust bin in every 10 m. So when students want to throw away their litter
they can find the dustbins easily.
When the school has enough dustbins, our school will be very clean and become a nice
place to study.

50. The text suggests that the school needs more..

a. Plants d. clean rooms

a. There are not enough dustbins around the school
b. The dirty uncomfortable condition influences the teaching and learning process.
c. The students don't care where the number of the dustbins.

b. Rubbish and litter can cause various diseases
c. Rubbish and litter requires more dustbins

An unconventional cashless payments tool developed by Bandung-based X-Igent has been

named winner of the Indonesian International Internet of Things (IoT) challenge 2016 held in
Bandung, West Java, between May 9 and June 28. Dubbed TopPay, this prototype device
provides a cashless, tapless and swipe-less method of payment. Instead of a card that has been
swiped or tapped, TopPay uses a keychain with an attached button. "when we press the button,
the system processes the transaction automatically," X-Igent CEO Yudha Maulana Akbar told a
press conference in Jakarta on Wednesday. The keychain was choosen to simplify the payment
process as it was less likely to be forgotten when users were traveling.
The Prototype can be applied to parking, street parking or convenience store payments and
consists of two parts, one for the users (the keychain) and one for the merchant (dubbed the
Merchandise Device). As TopPay uses Bluetooth, payments can also be made from a distance of
1 m. "It can actually reach up fifty meters," said Yudha, adding that they were still researching
the maximum distance, as well as the connection stability.
 TopPay is already integrated with DOKU, an independent electronic Payment solutions
provider that held the competition alongside DyCodeEdu, an iOS and Android professional
training provider, allowing users to easily top up their accounts and have the invoice sent to
their e-mail.
The team from X-Igent which consists of Yudha, Rendy Azhari, Muhammad Ikramulla, and
Lutfi Azhari, spent only 3 weeks building the tool. "but we had previously created a system that
uses similar technology," said Yudha, who was over eight years of experience in this industry, as
well as in network security.
