PAKET A
A. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions below!

A cactus (plural: cacti) is any member of the plant family Cactaceae, native to the Americas. They are
often used as ornamental plants, but some are also crop plants. Cacti are grown for protection of
property from wild animals, as well as many other uses.
Cacti are part of the plant order Caryophyllales, which also include members like beets, gypsophila,
spinach, amaranth, tumbleweeds, carnations, rhubarb, buckwheat, plumbago, bougainvillea,
chickweed and knotgrass.
Cacti are unusual and distinctive plants, which are adapted to extremely arid and hot environments,
showing a wide range of anatomical and physiological features which conserve water. Their stems
have adapted to become photosynthetic and succulent, while the leaves have become the spines for
which cacti are well known.
Cacti come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. The tallest is Pachycereus pringlei, with a maximum
recorded height of 19.2 m, and the smallest is Blossfeldia liliputiana, only about 1 cm in diameter at
maturity. Cactus flowers are large, and like the spines and branches arise from areoles. Many cactus
species are night blooming, as they are pollinated by nocturnal insects or small animals, principally
moths and bats. Cacti range in size from small and globular to tall and columnar.

PAKET B

A. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions below!

Eagles are large, powerfully built birds of prey, with a heavy head and beak. Even the
smallest eagles, like the booted eagle (Aquila pennata) which is comparable in size to a
common buzzard (Buteo buteo) or red-tailed hawk (B. jamaicensis), have relatively longer and
more evenly broad wings, and more direct, faster flight despite the reduced size of
aerodynamic feathers.
Most eagles are larger than any other raptors apart from some vultures.The smallest species
of eagle is the South Nicobar serpent eagle (Spilornis klossi), at 450 g (0.99 lb) and 40 cm (16
in). The largest species are discussed below. Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large
hooked beaks for ripping flesh from their prey, strong muscular legs, and powerful talons. The
beak is typically heavier than that of most other birds of prey. Eagles eyes are extremely
powerful, having up to 3.6 times human acuity for the martial eagle, which enables them to
spot potential prey from a very long distance.This keen eyesight is primarily attributed to their
extremely large pupils which ensure minimal diffraction (scattering) of the incoming light. The
female of all known species of eagles is larger than the male.

PAKET B
A. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions below!

Death penalty for serious criminals has been discussed by our experts. Those who agree
say that death penalty will scare the criminals off. However, those who disagree say that it is
inhuman, not effective and we cannot correct the wrong sentence after the criminals die.
In Switzerland, this penalty does not exist. Most people argue that the possibilty of
making the wrong decision is always there although it is true that spending life behind the bars
is not easy either. Also, every person should have a chance for rehabilitation. In this way he
or she can start all over again in another life style.
Those who agree argue that there is no use to feed the terrorists in prison with their money.
When they get out, they will create a lot of trouble by blackmailing and killing people. So,
who says that jails will stop them from being bad guys?
My own opinion is divided. On the one hand, I want to be humane, and on the other hand,
