Many years ago, the sun and water were great friends, and they both lived on
the earth together. The sun very often used to visit the water, but the water
never returned the visits.
 At last the sun asked the water why he never visited. The water replied that
the sun's house was not big enough, and that if he came with all his people, he
would drive the sun out of his home.
The water then said, "If you want me to visit you, you will have to build a
very large house. But I warn you that it will have to be very large, as my people
are numerous and take up a lot of room".
The sun promised to build a very large house, and soon afterwards, he
returned home to his wife, the moon, who greeted him with a broad smile. The
sun told the moon what he had promised the water, and the next day, they began
building a large house to entertain the water and all his people.
When it was completed, the sun asked the water to come and visit him.
When the water arrived, one of his people called out to the sun, and asked
him whether it would be safe for the water to enter, and the sun answered, "Yes,
tell my friend to come in."
The water began to flow in, followed by the fish and all the other water
animals.
Very soon, the water was knee-deep in the house, so he asked the sun if it
was still safe, and the sun again said, "Yes," so more of them came in.
When the water was at the level of a man's head, the water said to the sun,
"Do you want more of my people to come?"
Not knowing any better, the sun and the moon both said, "Yes,". More and
more of the water's people came in, until the sun and the moon had to sit on top
of the roof.
The water once again asked the sun if it was still okay to keep coming in. The
sun and moon answered yes, so more and more of the water's people came in.
The water soon overflowed the top of the roof, and the sun and the moon
were forced to go up into the sky.
...and they have been there ever since.

The following text is for questions 9 to 12
A geyser is a rare kind of hot spring that is under pressure and erupts,
sending jets of water and steam into the air.
Geysers are made from a tube-like hole in the Earth's surface that runs
deep into the crust. The tube is filled with water. Near the bottom of the tube
is molten rock called magma, which heats the water in the tube.
Water in the lower part of the tube, close to the magma, becomes
superhot. Gradually, it begins to boil. Some of the water is forced upward. The
boiling water begins to steam, or turn to gas. The steam jets toward the surface.
Its powerful jet of steam ejects the column of water above it. The water rushes
through the tube and into the air.
The eruption will continue until all the water is forced out of the tube, or
until the temperature inside the geyser drops below boiling (100 degrees
Celsius, or 212 degrees Fahrenheit, at sea level).
After the eruption, water slowly seeps back into the tube. The process
begins again. In some small geysers, the eruption process can take just a few
minutes. In larger geysers, it can take days. The most famous geyser in the
United States, Yellowstone National Park's Old Faithful, erupts about every 50-
100 minutes.

9. The following are true in the process of geyser eruption, except ...

The following text is for questions 13 to 15

A hot spot is fed by a region deep within the Earth’s mantle from which
heat rises through the process of convection. This heat facilitates the melting
of rock at the base of the lithosphere, where the brittle, upper portion of the
mantle meets the Earth’s crust. The melted rock, known as magma, often pushes
through cracks in the crust to form volcanoes.
Hot spot volcanism is unique because it does not occur at the boundaries
of Earth’s tectonic plates, where all other volcanism occurs. Instead it occurs
at abnormally hot centers known as mantle plumes. Scientific models depict
these plumes of molten rock almost like a lava lamp, with a rising bulbous head
fed by a long, narrow tail that originates in the mantle. As the plume head
reaches the lithosphere, it spreads into a mushroom shape that reaches roughly
500 to 1000 kilometers (310 to 621 miles) in diameter. These features are
called diapirs.
 Scientists have different theories about where hot spots form.
The dominant theory, framed by Canadian geophysicist J. Tuzo Wilson in 1963,
states that hot spot volcanoes are created by exceptionally hot areas fixed deep
below the Earth’s mantle. More recent scientific studies suggest that these hot
spots may be found at more shallow depths in the Earth’s mantle and
may migrate slowly over geologic time rather than stay fixed in the same spot.
A volcano above a hot spot does not erupt forever. Attached to the
tectonic plate below, the volcano moves and is eventually cut off from the hot
spot. Without any source of heat, the volcano becomes extinct and cools. This
cooling causes the rock of the volcano and the tectonic plate to become
more dense. Over time, the dense rock sinks and erodes. A new and active
volcano develops over the hot spot, creating a continuous cycle of volcanism.

The following text is for questions 36 to 40.

Pangeran Diponegoro, (Indonesian: pangeran, “prince”) also called
Raden Mas Ontowiryo, (born c. 1785, Jogyakarta, Java [Indonesia] –
died January 8, 1855, Makasar, Celebes), Javanese leader in the 19th-
century conflict known to the West as the Java War and to
Indonesians as Diponegoro’s War (1825-1830). During those five
years Diponegoro’s military accomplishments severely crippled the
Dutch and earned for him a prominent place in the Indonesian
nationalist pantheon of heroes.
The sultanate of Jogyakarta was created February 13, 1755, by a
Dutch treaty that dismembered the once-powerful Javanese kingdom
of Mataram. Although Diponegoro was the eldest son of the third
ruler of Jogyakarta, Sultan Amangku Buwono III, he was passed over
for the succession in 1814 on the death of his father in favor of a son
whose mother was of higher rank, but he was promised the throne
should his half brother predecease him. He was deeply religious
person who throughout that period lived in meditative seclusion, and
historians disagree on whether he wanted the throne or whether he
spurned it in favor of a contemplative life.
There is no doubt, however, that during the 1820s Diponegoro
came into conflict with Dutch officials and by 1825 emerged as the
leader of disaffected aristocrats in the Jogyakarta region. The Java
War itself triggered by a series of land reforms that undercut the
economic position of the Javanese aristocrats.
Diponegoro has strong following in the Jogyakarta region and
launched a guerilla war that quite successful for nearly three years. In
late 1828, however, Dutch forces won a major victory that proved the
turning point in the war. Under Gen. H. Merkus de Kock, the Dutch
proceeded to develop a system of small, mutually protecting outposts
linked by good roads that enabled them to quell the natives’ guerilla
warfare. In 1830 Diponegoro agreed to meet with Dutch
representatives for peace negotiations, but during the meeting he
was arrested. He died in exile.

Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
Astronomer and Scientist. Galileo developed a superior telescope and made
many significant discoveries in astronomy. He was sentenced to life
imprisonment by the inquisition for his support for the Copernican theory that
the sun was at the centre of the solar system.
Galileo was born in Florence, Italy in 1564 to a poor but noble family His
parents recognized their child's innate intelligence and talents and so made
sacrifices to have him educated. At his father's insistence, Galileo studied the
profitable career of medicine. But, at the University of Pisa, Galileo became
fascinated in a wide range of subjects. He was also critical of many of Aristotle's
teaching which had dominated education for the past 2,000 years.
Galileo was appointed to be a mathematics professor at the University of
Pisa, but his strident criticisms of Aristotle left him isolated among his
contemporaries. After three years of persecution, he resigned and went to the
University of Padua, where he taught maths. His entertaining lectures attracted a
large following and he was able to spend the next 18 years pursuing his interests
in astronomy and mechanics.

52. Something that we can learn from Galileo Galilei's biography is ...
a. We must always believe whatever the society believes to avoid getting
persecuted.

unlike fish or people, they have no backbones. In fact, they have no bones at all.
Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no heads. They have nervous
systems for sensing the world around them, but no brains. They are made almost
entirely of water, which is why you can look through them.
Some jellyfish can glow in darkness by making their own light. The light is
made by a chemical reaction inside the jellyfish. Scientists believe jellyfish glow
for several reasons. For example, they may glow to scare away predators or to
attract animals they like to eat.
Most jellyfish live in salt water, apart from a few types that live in fresh
water. Jellyfish are found in oceans and seas all over the world. They live in

The text below is for questions number 62 and 63

Mutualism is a type of symbiosis that occurs when two unlike organisms
live together in a state that is mutually beneficial. It can exist between two
animals, between two plants, or between a plant and an animal. Mutualism is
unlike the symbiotic state of commensalism in that commensalism is a give-
and-take basis.
In the African wilds, the zebra and the ostrich enjoy a symbiotic
relationship that enhances the ability of each of these large land animals to
survive. Both serve as prey for the lion, and neither has the capability alone
to withstand an attack from this fierce hunter. However, when the zebra and
the ostrich collaborate in their defense by alerting each other to possible
danger from an approaching predator, the lion is rarely able to capture more
than the oldest or the feeblest of the heard.
The complementary physical strengths and weaknesses of the ostrich and
the zebra allow them to work in coordination to avoid succumbing to the
lion. The ostrich, the largest flightless bird in the world, possesses great
speed and keen eyesight, which enable it to spot large predatory animals
long before they are able to position themselves to attack. The zebra, with a
 running speed equal to that of the ostrich, has excellent hearing and a good
sense of smell but lacks the sharp eyesight of the ostrich. When ostriches and
zebras intermix for grazing, each animal benefits from the ability of the other
to detect approaching danger. If either animal senses danger, both animals
are alerted and take off. With the running speed that both of these animals
posses, they are able to outrun any predator except the cheetah.

62. The main idea of the passage is that mutualism

a. is a symbiosis of two similar organisms for benefits of one of them.
b. is a symbiosis of two different organisms in which one party takes
benefits of working together
c. is a symbiosis of two different organisms in which two parties take
mutual benefits
d. is a symbiosis of two similar organisms for mutual benefits

63. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

a. With their strengths and weaknesses, ostriches and zebras work together
to avoid predators.
b. With their strengths and weaknesses, ostriches are more beneficial in
alerting predators than zebras.
c. With their strengths and weaknesses, zebras are faster that ostriches in
running away from predators.
d. With their strengths and weaknesses, zebras have better eyesight and
sense of smell in detecting predators than ostriches.
