The life span of an elephant that dies from natural causes is about sixty five years. Of

course, an elephant can perish from a number of unnatural causes. E.g it can be killed

by hunters, most probably for the valuable ivory in its tusk ; it can die from diseases

that spread throughout an elephant herd ; or it can die from drought or from the lack

of food that almost certainly accompanies the inadequate supply of water.

If, however, an elephant survives these disasters, it falls prey to old age in its mid

sixties. Around this age, the cause of death is attributes the final set of molars. When

this last set of teeth is gone, the elephant dies from malnutrition because it is unable

to obtain adequate nourisment. In old age, elephants tend to search out a final home

where there is shade for comfort the sun and soft vegetation for cushioning ; the

bones of many old elephants have been found in such places.

Section 4 : Reading Comprehension (51-60)

The largest of the giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 times greater than Earth’s, contains more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined. It is thought to be a gaseous and fluid planet without solid surfaces, Had it been somewhat more massive, Jupiter might have attained internal temperatures as high as the ignition point for nuclear

6 reactions, and it would have flamed as a star in its own right. Jupiter and the other giant planets are of a low-density type quite distinct from the terrestrial planets: they are composed predominantly of such substances as hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane, unlike terrestrial planets. Much of Jupiter’s interior might be in the form of liquid, metallic hydrogen, Normally, hydrogen is a gas, but under pressures of millions of kilograms per

12 square centimeter, which exist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms



Halaman 11 dari 13

might lock together to form a liquid with the properties of a metal. Some scientists believe that the innermost core of Jupiter might be rocky, or metallic like the core of Earth.

Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours. As a result, its clouds, which are composed largely of frozen and liquid ammonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright

19 bands that circle the planet at different speeds in different latitudes. Jupiter’s puzzling Great Red Spot changes size as it hovers in the Southern Hemisphere.

Scientists speculate it might be a gigantic hurricane, which because of its large size (the Earth could easily fit inside it), lasts for hundreds of years. Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. Perhaps this is primeval

25heat or beat generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet. Another starlike characteristic of Jupiter is its sixteen natural satellites, which, like a miniature model of the Solar System, decrease in density with distance—from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy moons farther away. If Jupiter were about 70 times more massive, it would have become a star, Jupiter is the best-preserved sample of the early solar nebula, and with its satellites, might contain the most important clues about the origin of the Solar System.

51. The word “Attained” in line 4 is closest meaning to ….

a. Attempted

b. Changed

c. Lost

d. Reached

e. Contained

52. According to the passage, some scientists believe Jupiter and Earth are similar in that they both have a. Solid surfaces

b. Similar masses c. Similar atmospheres d. Metallic cores e. Same Composition of substance

53. Why does the author mention primeval heat (lines 19-20) ?

a. To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the Sun

b. To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the other planets

c. To suggest a possible explanation for the number of satellites that Jupiter has

d. To suggest a possible source of the quantity of heat that Jupiter gives off

e. None is true

54. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?

a. If Jupiter had fewer satellites, it would be easier for scientists to study the

planet itself.

b. If Jupiter had had more mass, it would have developed internal nuclear

reactions.

c. If Jupiter had been smaller, it would have become a terrestrial planet. d. if Jupiter were larger, it would give off much less heat e. All is true

55. It can be inferred from the passage that the appearance of alternating bands circling Jupiter is caused by_____ a. the Great Red Spot b. heat from the Sun c. the planet’s fast rotation d. Storms from the planet’s Southern

Opportunity in the Global Financial Crisis

US. financial crisis and its contagion to Europe and the rest of the world could

also create new opportunity for Indonesia in term of foreign direct investment and

the development of basic infrastructure.

http://www.englishdirection.com/2008/10/opportunity-in-global-financial-crisis.html



Halaman 13 dari 13

As the US. financial crisis has now spread to Europe, the oil-rich countries

such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Arab Emirate which have accumulated hundreds of

billion of Dollars in their foreign reserve, are now reviewing their holding or

investment vehicle. They are looking for more diversified investment outside the US

and Europe. Because of unfavorable political developments in Thailand and Malaysia

over the past few months, Indonesia which has largely Moslem population could

become one of these oil-rich countries' favorite place for foreign direct investment.

That wil be true if the conditions, legal and market infrastructure are conducive for

Islamic financial instruments.

The government had improved the legal framework with the recent

actment of laws on sharia banking and bonds. The long term nature of Islamic bonds

could make them the most suitable investment instrument for Indonesia, as these

bonds grant an investor a share in an asset along with the cash flows and risks

commensurate with such ownership.

The financial crisis that has gripped the globe and weakening economic

growth in the rest of the world will serve to the government to accelerate the

investment reform measures in order to grab the hidden opportunity in the global

crisis.

(simplified from the jakartapos.com on Oct 9)

60. Based on the passage above, which is not included in the arguments used to

support the author’s idea?

a. The financial crisis that has gripped the globe and weakening economic growth

in the rest of the world will give a chance for goverment to grab hidden

opportunity in the global crisis.

b. The goverment had improved the legal framework with the recent actment of

laws on sharia banking and bonds.

c. As the US. financial crisis has now spread to Europe, the oil-rich countries are

looking for more diversified investment outside the US and Europe.

d. Because of unfavorable political developments in Thailand and Malaysia over

the past few months, Indonesia which has largely Moslem population could

become one of these oil-rich countries' favorite place for foreign direct
