Major earthquakes under the ocean floor can trigger tsunamis by displacing large volumes of water. Tsunamis travel across the ocean as barely perceptible waves, but grow enormously in size and power as they enter shallower coastal waters, often with disastrous effects such as severe flooding and loss of life when they wash ashore.

The following text is for questions 1 to 4.

Tsunami
Tsunami occurs when major fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The displaced rock
pushes water above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful water waves at the ocean across
the ocean until they reach the coastline, where their height increases as they reach the
continental shelf, the part of the earth crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor up to the
land.

A tsunami washes ashore with often disastrous effects such as severe flooding, loss of lives
due to drowning and damage to property.

A tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a disturbance along the ocean floor.
This disturbance can be an earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A tsunami is
undetectable far out in the ocean, but once it reaches shallow water, this fast traveling wave
grows very large.

1. Tsunami happens because ....


A. The displaced rock pushes water above it
B. A major fault under the ocean floor slips suddenly *
C. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the source
D. The waves moves across the ocean until they reach the beach
E. A tsunami is undetectable far out in the ocean

2. What are the impacts of tsunami?


A. The part of the Earth’s crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor down to the
land
B. A tsunami washes ashore with often disastrous effects such as flooding and loss of
lives *
C. A tsunami is a very large sea wave which is not generated by a disturbance a long
the ocean floor
D. A tsunami is detectable far out in the ocean
E. Once tsunami reaches shallow water, the wave never grows very large

3. We understand from the text that tsunami ....


A. Causes the movement of earth
B. Forms a new shape of coastline
C. Makes unfortunate event *
D. Rises a new coastal land
E. Displaces rocks to land
4. “... producing powerful water waves at the ocean surface.” The synonym of the

The following text is for questions 5 to 8.


All human beings eat food and make use of the chemical energy in it, so do all other
animals. Perhaps you wonder where all that chemical energy comes from. Why doesn’t the
food all get used up?

The answer is that new food is being grown as fast as old food is used to. It is the green
plants that form the new food. Animals either eat the plants or eat other animals that have
eaten plants.

The green substance of plants is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll can absorb sunlight. When it does
so, it changes the energy of the sun into chemical energy. The chemical energy present in sunlit
chlorophyll is used to combine dioxide in the air with water from the soil. Starch and other
complicated compounds are formed. These are high in chemical energy obtained from the
sunlit chlorophyll.

They make up the food on which mankind and all other animals live. In the process of
forming this food, some oxygen atoms are left over. These are given off into the air by the
plants. The whole process is called photosynthesis.

Thus, plants use sunlight to from food and oxygen to from carbon dioxide and water again.
Plants change the sun’s energy into chemical energy. And animals change the animal energy
into kinetic and heat energy.

5. The text is about ....


A. The process of changing chemical energy *
B. The formation of carbon dioxide
C. The green substance of plants
D. The process of photosynthesis
E. The use of chemical energy

6. What will happen when the chlorophyll absorbs sunlight? It will ....
A. Change heat into kinetic energy
B. Form complicated compound
C. Make use of heat energy
D. Change kinetic energy into chemical energy
E. Change the sun’s energy into chemical energy *

7. From the text we know that ....


A. Plant need to heat energy to live
B. All human beings need chemical energy *
C. Plants absorb sunlight to produce kinetic energy
D. Chlorophyll is the most important thing in photosynthesis
E. Sun’s energy cannot be formed into kinetic energy

8. The green substance of plants is chlorophyll. The underlined word in the above is closest
in meaning to ...
A. Core
B. Body
C. Stuff
D. Essence *
E. Material
The following text is for questions 9 to 12
The sense of taste is one of a person’s five senses. We taste with the help of taste-buds in
the tongue.
There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other tastes are just
mixtures of two or more of these main types.

The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are
connected to the brain by special nerves which send the so-called ‘tastes messages.

When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will pick up the
taste. The nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste. All this
happens in just a few seconds.

There are four kinds of taste-buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular taste. These
four groups are located in different parts of the tongue.

The taste-buds for salty and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue and along its
sides. Sour tastes can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste-buds of the bitter
taste are found at the innermost edge of the tongue. There are taste-buds at the centre of the
tongue.

The senses of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its taste.
Similarly, attractive colours can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does not
smell good or is dull-coloured, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all.

Very hot or cold sensations can make the taste-buds insensitive. Food that is too hot or too
cold, when placed in the mouth, will have no tastes at all.

9. We can taste any kind of food because of ...


A. The good smell of food
B. The four main kinds of taste
C. The taste-buds in the tongue *
D. The senses of smell and sight
E. The taste-buds round the tip of the tongue

10. When we eat very hot or cold food ...


A. The food will lose its taste *
B. The food won’t smell good
C. The taste of the food increases
D. The taste-buds will be sensitive
E. The taste-buds will be very, responsive

11. The senses of smell and sight ...


A. Increase the taste of the food
B. Affect the taste of the food *
C. Make food more delicious
D. Make the food look good
E. Make the food attractive

12. The purpose of the text is ...


A. To explain how we can taste any food in the mouth *
B. To give a report about the sense of taste
C. To inform how important the tongue is
D. To describe the use of the tongue
E. To tell the taste of the food

The following text is for questions 13 to 16


Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells
and replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into
substances that can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is
called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small
pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva
contains digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.

From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach.
Here, the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours.
Then the food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are
squeezing, mixing and moving the food onwards.

In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi
(microscopic branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.

C. The method of the digestive system
D. The process of intestine work

A. The food changes into acids absorbed by the villi.
B. The food must be digested first through the process. *
C. The food is directly swallowed through esophagus into the stomach.
D. The food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach.
E. The food we take must be changed into substances carried in the blood to the places.
15. From the text above, we imply that ….
A. A good process of digestive system will help our body becoming healthier. *
B. No one concerned with the process of digestive system for their health.
C. The digestive system is needed if we are eating the food instantly.
D. Everybody must conduct the processes of digestive system well.
E. The better we digest the food we eat, the healthier we will be.
