Maura, who liked to be thought of as

the most beautiful and powerful queen of
Arabia, had many suitors.
One by one she discarded them, until
her list
was reduced to just three sheiks, all
equally young and handsome, rich and
strong. It was very hard to
decide who would be the best of them.

Mangrove
Trees
A mangrove is a tropical marine tree or
shrub of
the genus Rhizhopora. Mangroves have
special aerial
roots and saltfiltering tap roots that
enable them to thrive in brackish water

(brackish water is salty, but not as salty as

sea water).
There are several species of mangroves
trees found all over the world. Some prefer
more salinity, while others like to be very
close to a large fresh water source (such
as a river). Some prefer areas that are
sheltered from waves. Some species have
their roots covered with sea water
everyday during high tide. Other species
grow on dry land, but are still part of the
ecosystem.
Mangroves need to keep their trunk
and leaves above the surface of the water.
Yet they also need to be firmly attached
to the ground so they are not moved by
waves. There are three types of mangrove
roots that play an important role for it:

(1)
support roots which directly
pierce the soil.
(2)
levelgrowing roots which twist
upwards and downwards; with the
upward twists emerging on the water
surface.
(3)
levelgrowing
roots
whose
downward twists
(subroots) appear on the water
surface.
Any part of a root that appears above
the water flows oxygen to the plant
under water surface. As
the soil begins to build up, these
roots produce
additional roots that become embedded
in the soil.
26.
The main idea of the
text is.
A. Mangroves grow on dry land.
B. Mangroves are tropical marine
trees.
C. There many species of mangroves.
D. Mangrove roots filter the salt of
the sea
water.
E. Mangrove roots are attached
firmly to the ground.
27.
We can conclude that most
mangrove trees.
A. need salt to
grow. B. grow on
dry land.
C. grow on sheltered
areas. D. get oxygen
from water.
E. grow near fresh water sources.
28.

In order to grow well mangroves

require the following, EXCEPT.

A. The roots twist upwards and

downwards.
B. The trunk should be above
the water surface.
C. The leaves should be above
the water surface.
D. The trees should be firmly
attached to the ground.
E. The parts of the plant under
the water should have enough salt.

relationship between kids who watch TV
a lot and being inactive and overweight.

are drilled than those producing oil.
Pressure at the source, or pumping, forces
the crude oil to the surface.
Crude oil wells flow at varying
rates, from ten to thousands of barrels per
hour. Petroleum products vary greatly in
physical
appearance:
thin,
thick,
transparent, or opaque. Their chemical
compositions are made up of only two
elements: carbon and hydrogen, which
form compounds called hydrocarbons.
Other chemical elements found in the
union with the hydrocarbons are few and
are classified
as
impurities.
Trace
elements are also found, but these are of
such minute quantities that they are
disregarded.
The various petroleum products are
refined from the crude oil by heating and
condensing the vapors of crude oil. These
products are called light oil such as
gasoline, kerosene and distillate coil.

causes no pollution as youd get when
burning fossil fuel.
The advantages of nuclear are as
follows:
1. It costs about the same as coal,
so its not expensive to make.
2. It doesnt produce smoke or carbon
dioxide, so it doesnt contribute to
the greenhouse effect.
3. It produces huge amounts of
energy from small amount of
uranium.
4. It produces small amounts of
waste.
5. It is reliable.
On the other hand, nuclear power is
very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up
and buried for many years to allow the
radioactivity to die away. Furthermore,
although it is reliable, a lot of money has
to be spent on safety because if it
does go wrong, a nuclear accident can be
a major disaster.
People are increasingly concerned
about this. In the 1990s nuclear power
was the fastest growing source of power in
many parts of the world. In 2005, it was
the 2nd slowest growing.

Jawaban: E
20. Teks
tersebut
utamanya
menceritakan
tentang canals yang
merupakan man made waterways (jalan
air buatan manusia) sehingga jawaban

Jawaban: E

17. A. The queen was the most powerful

queen in Africa.
(dari paragraph 1:
who liked to be thought of as the
most beautiful and powerful queen of
Arabia. Jelas bahwa The Queen adalah
ratu yang dianggap paling cantik dan
berkuasa di Arab) salah
B.
The queen was very proud of her
beauty and
riches.(tidak tercantum dalam teks)
salah
C. The
queen
herself
served
the
sheiks
with delicious
food.
(dari
paragraph
5: She ordered the
servant jelas bahwa The Queen
tidak melayani sendiri para syeikh
melainkan memerintahkan pelayannya)
salah
D.
The queen was very careful in
deciding whom
she
would
marry.
(Teks
tersebut
menceritakan bagaimana The Queen
sangat berhatihati dalam memilih orang
yang akan dinikahinya.) benar
E. The queen was very satisfed with
the food given by the sheiks. (paragraf 4
menyatakan bahwa syeikh
yang I
memberikan makanan sisa, sedang kan
syeikh yang II memberikan makanan yang
tidak mengundang selera, sehingga tidak
mungkin

selera para syeikh)

reaksi para

(membalas kebaikan
para syeikh)
Tujuan
The

memberikan
makanan

melihat reaksi para syeikh sehingga The
Queen dapat menentukan siapa yang
akan menjadi suaminya.
Jawaban: C
19. Kalimat terakhir paragraph 6:So it is
Hakim I will marry.(jadi Hakimlah yang
akan kunikahi). Jadi jelas bahwa gagasan
utama paragraph tersebut adalah bahwa

yang tepat baginya. Option A,B,C,dan
D tidak sesuai dengan isi paragraf 6.

Debat bukanlah adu argumen tertulis.

D. will be held after school
hours.
Dalam teks tidak disebutkan jam
berapa akan dilaksanakan debat
tersebut.
E. will run for two
days.
Debat diadakan tanggal 1012 berarti 3
hari.
Jadi option yang paling sesuai
dengan teks adalah option B.
Jawaban: B
26. Cara mencari ide utama teks adalah
seperti kita
mencari ide pokok paragraf yaitu cari
kalimat yang bisa merangkum/mewakili
seluruh paragraf dalam bacaan tersebut.
Paragrafparagraf
dalam
bacaan itu
utamanya
menjelaskan
mangrove
merupakan tumbuhan tropis. Jadi, ide
utama teks tersebut adalah
bahwa
mangrove merupakan tumbuhan tropis
(a mangrove is a tropical marine tree).
Jawaban: B
27. Dari: Mangroves have special aerial roots
and salt
filtering tap roots that enable them to
thrive in brackish water (brackish water is
salty, but not as salty as sea water).
(Tumbuhan bakau memiliki akar aerial
special dan akar utama penyaring
garam yang memungkinkan
mereka
tumbuh subur di di air payau (air
payau berasa asin, tapi tidak seasin air
laut) dapat disimpulkan bahwa mang
rove
perlu
garam
untuk
tumbuh
(need salt to grow).
their trunk and leaves above the surface
of the water. (Bakau perlu menjaga
batang dan daunnya di atas permukaan
air) jadi pilihan B dan C benar.

Dari paragraf ke3: Yet they also

need to be
firmly attached to the ground
jelas bahwa pilihan D benar.

Dari paragraf ke1 dapat disimpulkan

bahwa tumbuhan
bakau
(mangrove)
membutuhkan
ga ram walau tidak
sebanyak yang ada di laut. Oleh karena
itu,
bakau
mempunyai
saltfiltering
tap roots untuk menyaring agar tidak
mendapatkan salt terlalu banyak. Jadi
pernyataan pada E terse but salah.
Jawaban: E
29. A. The programs shown on TV.
Dalam teks tidak dibahas tentang
program TV. B. Watching TV is
disadvantageous.

adalah tentang adanya
lomba/kompetisi
debat di sekolah,
sehingga jawaban yang paling tepat
adalah a debate competition.
Jawaban: C

Dalam teks tidak disebutkan
apakah debat dalam bahasa Inggris
atau bukan.
B.
is in the form of spoken
arguments.
Debat adalah adu argument secara
langsung dalam bentuk lisan (spoken).
C.
is in the form of written
arguments.
Pilihan B, C, dan E kurang tepat karena
hanya be berapa jenis bakau saja yang
tumbuh di daerah yang disebutkan pada
pilihan B, C, dan E sedang kan D salah
karena bakau memperoleh
oksigen
bukan dari air.
Jawaban: A
28.
Dari paragraf ke3 pada poin 2 dan
3 tentang
jenisjenis akar yang berperan penting
agar bakau tidak terbawa arus dapat
disimpulkan
bahwa pilihan A benar:
There are three types of mangrove roots
that play an important role for it: 2.
level growing
roots
which
twist
upwards and down wards. 3. level
growing roots whose downward twists
(subroots) appear on the water surface.
