Read the passage carefully and select the one correct answer from the four choice (A, B, C, or D) !

Reading 1 for question 41 s.d 47

To many, it may seem that the lobster’s most natural habitat is on a large, oval plate between a cup of drawn butter and
a lemon wedge. In fact, only a few of the hunders of types of lobster are cought commercially. But those few species are
some of the most heavilly harvested creatures in the sea, and generate a multi-billion-dollar industry, with more than
200.000 tons (181,436 metric tons) of annual global catch.

The lobsters that most people know from their dinner plates are the American and European clawed lobsters Homarus
americanus and Homarus gammarus. These are cold water species that live on either sides of the northern Atlantic
Ocean. There are also tropical lobsters that are widely consumed, but these are generally clawless varieties called spiny
and slipper lobsters.

Lobsters are ten-legged crustaceans closely related to shrimp and crabs. These benthic, or bottom-dwelling, creatures are
found in all of the world’s oceans, as well as brackish environments and even freshwater. They have poor eyesight but
highly developed senses of taste and smell. They feed primarily on fish and mollusks, but will consume algae and other
plant life and wven other lobsters.

Female lobsters carry their eggs under their abdomens for up to a year before releasing them as larvae into the water.
The larvae go through several stages in the water column before settling on the bottom, where they spend the rest of
their lives. They generally prefer to live in self-dug burrows, in rocky crevices, or hidden among sea grasses. Lobsters
must shed their shells in order to grow, and some species can live to be 50 years old or more, growing continually
throughout their lives.

Lobsters have not always been considered chic eats. In 17th – and 18th century America, they were so abundant in the
northeast that they were often used as fertilizer. Laws were even passed forbidding people to feed servants lobster more
than twice a week. However, improvements in U.S. transportation infrastructure in 19th and 20th century brought fresh
lobster to distant urban areas, and its reputation as a delicacy grew.

Populations of commercially important lobster species are though to be declining, and over-fishing, particularly of
clawed lobsters in Europe, is taking a toll. Additionally, pollution is causing shell rot and other illnesses in normally
disease-resistans spesies. (Adapted from various source – PTT BPPK)

Reading 2 for question 48 s.d 54

Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that is caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. It is
characterized primarily by inflammation of the alveoli in the lungs or by alveoli that are filled with fluid
(alveoli are microscopic sacs in the lungs that absorb oxygen). At times a very serious condition, pneumonia
can make a person very sick or even cause death. Although the disease can occur in young and healty people,
it is most dangerous for older adult, babies, and people with diseases or impaired immune systems.

In the United State, more than 3 million people developed pneumonia each year, and about 17% of these
receive treatment in a hospital. Most people with pneumonia recover, but about 15% will succumb to the
condition.

Pneumonia treatments depend on the type of pneumonia and the severity of symptoms. Bacterial pneumonia
are usually treated with antibiotics, whereas viral pneumonias are treated with rest and plenty of fluids. Fungal
pneumonias are usually treated with antifungal medications. Over-the-counter medications are also commonly
prescribed to better manage pneumonia symptoms. These include treatments for reducing fever, reducing
aches and pains, and suppressing coughs. In addition, it is important to get plenty of rest and sleep and drink
lots of fluids.

There are several ways to prevent pneumonia. There are two vaccines that are available to prevent
pneumococcal disease (the bacterial infection that is the most common cause of pneumonia): pneumococcal
polysaccharide vaccine (Pneumovax). Prevnar is generally administered as part of the normal infant
immunization procedure and is recommended for children less than 2 years of age or between two and four
years with certain medical condition.

Pneumovax is provide for adults who are at increased risk of developing pneumococcal pneumonia, such as
the elderly, diabetics, those with chronic heart, lung, or kidney disease, alcoholics, smokers, and those without
a spleen. The Pneumonia vaccine may not completely prevent older adults from getting pneumonia, but it can
reduce the severity of a future pneumonia.

Reading 3 for question 55 s.d 60

Many historical linguists are able to trace modern complex languages back to earlier languages, but in order to answer
the question of how complex language are actually formed, the researcher needs to observe how languages are started
from scratch. To find out how grammar is created, someone need to be presents at the time of a language’s creation,
documenting its emergence. However, this is possible.
Some of the most recent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade. At the time, slaves from a number of
different ethnicities were forced to work together under colonizer’s rule. Since they had no opportunity to learn each
other’s languages, the developed a make-shift language called a pidgin.
Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the landowner. They have little in the way of grammar, and in
many cases it is difficult for a listener to deduce when an event happened and who did what to whom. Speakers need to
use circumlocution in order to make their meaning understood.
Interestingly, however, all it takes for a pidgin to become a complex languages is for a group of children to be exposed
to it/ when they learn their mother tongue. Slave children did not simply copy the things of words uttered by their elders,
they adapted their words to create a new, expressive language. Complex grammar system which emerge from pidgins
are termed creoles, and they are invented by children.
Some linguists believe that many most established languages were creoles at first. The English past tense -ed ending
may have evolved from the verb “do”. “It ended” may once have been “It end-did”. This, it would appear that even the
most widespread languages were partly created by children. Children appear to have innate emerges when they are first
trying to make sense of the world near them. Their minds can serve to create logical, complex structures, even when
there is no grammar present for them to copy.

55. How do the slave children improve a pidgin in order to become a complex language ?

A. They communicate with their parents intensively to improve the pidgin.

B. They adapt the words to create an expressive and new language
C. They imitate the pidgin then develop a completely new language.
D. They study the existing grammar of the pidgin then correct it.

Jawaban : B

56. The word “deduce” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to …

A. conclude B. react C. reply D. think

Jawaban : A

57. The word “which” in paragraph 2 refers to …

A. language B. system C. pidgins D. words

Jawaban : B

58. It is stated in the passage that creole is …

A. a language to communicate among slaves of different ethnicities

B. a series of words copied from the language of the landowner
C. a complex grammar system that come from pidgins
D. a native langauge creates by Atlantic slaves

Jawaban : C

59. In order to study the grammar creation of a language, the linguists have to …

A. document the complex form of the language

B. study the language from the native speaker
C. record the creation of the language
D. interview the language maker
