Although it is called Central Park, New York City‘s great green space has no

―center‖—no formal walkway down the middle of the park, no central monument or body of
water, no single orienting feature. The paths wind, the landscape constantly shifts and
changes, the sections spill into one another in a seemingly random manner. But this
―decentering‖ was precisely the intent of the park‘s innovative design. Made to look as
natural as possible, Frederick Law Olmsted‘s 1858 plan for Central Park had as its main goal
the creation of a democratic playground— a place with many centers to reflect the
multiplicity of its uses and users. Olmsted designed the park to allow interaction among the
various members of society, without giving preference to one group or class. Thus, Olmsted‘s
ideal of a ―commonplace civilization‖ could be realized.

D. demonstrate how large the park is.
E. show how well the author knows the park.

Good things are commonly divided into three classes: (1) external goods, (2) goods of
the soul, and (3) goods of the body. Of these, we call the goods pertaining to the soul goods
in the highest and fullest sense. But in speaking of ―soul,‖ we refer to our soul‘s actions and
activities. Thus, our definition [of good] tallies with this opinion which has been current for a
long time and to which philosophers subscribe. We are also right in defining the end as
consisting of actions and activities; for in this way the end is included among the goods of the
soul and not among external goods.
Also the view that a happy man lives well and fares well fits in with our definition: for
we have all but defined happiness as a kind of good life and well-being.
Moreover, the characteristics which one looks for in happiness are all included in our
definition. For some people think that happiness is a virtue, others that it is practical wisdom,
others that it is some kind of theoretical wisdom; others again believe it to be all or some of
these accompanied by, or not devoid of, pleasure; and some people also include external
prosperity in its definition.
2. In the last paragraph, the author‘s main purpose is to
A. show that different people have different definitions of happiness.
B. define virtue.
C. prove that his definition of happiness is valid.
D. explain the relationship between happiness and goodness.
E. provide guidelines for good behavior.

If you have ever made a list of pros and cons to help you make a decision, you have
used the utilitarian method of moral reasoning. One of the main ethical theories,
utilitarianism posits that the key to deciding what makes an act morally right or wrong is its
consequences. Whether our intentions are good or bad is irrelevant; what matters is whether
the result of our actions is good or bad. To utilitarians, happiness is the ultimate goal of
human beings and the highest moral good. Thus, if there is great unhappiness because of an
act, then that action can be said to be morally wrong. If, on the other hand, there is great
happiness because of an action, then that act can be said to be morally right.
Utilitarians believe that we should carefully weigh the potential consequences of an
action before we take it. Will the act lead to things that will make us, or others, happy? Will it
make us, or others, unhappy? According to utilitarians, we should choose to do that which
creates the greatest amount of good (happiness) for the greatest number of people. This can
be difficult to determine, though, because sometimes an act can create short-term happiness
but misery in the long term. Another problematic aspect of utilitarianism is that it deems it
acceptable—indeed, even necessary—to use another person as a means to an end and
sacrifice the happiness of one or a few for the happiness of many.
3. In lines 19–22, the author‘s purpose is to show that
A. using utilitarianism to make a moral decision is not always easy.
B. sacrifice is necessary in life.
C. long-term consequences are more important than short-term consequences.
D. a pro/con list is the most effective technique for making an important decision.
E. great good often comes at a great price.

The history of microbiology begins with a Dutch haberdasher named Antoni van
Leeuwenhoek, a man of no formal scientific education. In the late 1600s, Leeuwenhoek,
inspired by the magnifying lenses used by drapers to examine cloth, assembled some of the
first microscopes. He developed a technique for grinding and polishing tiny, convex lenses,
some of which could magnify an object up to 270 times. After scraping some plaque from
between his teeth and examining it under a lens, Leeuwenhoek found tiny squirming
creatures, which he called ―animalcules.‖ His observations, which he reported to the Royal
Society of London, are among the first descriptions of living bacteria. Leeuwenhoek
discovered an entire universe invisible to the naked eye. He found more animalcules—
protozoa and bacteria—in samples of pond water, rain water, and human saliva. He gave the
first description of red corpuscles, observed plant tissue, examined muscle, and investigated
the life cycle of insects.
Nearly two hundred years later, Leeuwenhoek‘s discovery of microbes aided French
chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur to develop his ―germ theory of disease.‖ This concept
suggested that disease derives from tiny organisms attacking and weakening the body. The
germ theory later helped doctors to fight infectious diseases including anthrax, diphtheria,
polio, smallpox, tetanus, and typhoid. Leeuwenhoek did not foresee this legacy. In a 1716
letter, he described his contribution to science this way: ―My work, which I‘ve done for a
long time, was not pursued in order to gain the praise I now enjoy, but chiefly from a craving
after knowledge, which I notice resides in me more than in most other men. And therewithal,
whenever I found out anything remarkable, I have thought it my duty to put down my
discovery on paper, so that all ingenious people might be informed thereof.‖
4. The author‘s attitude toward Leeuwenhoek‘s contribution to medicine is one of
A. ecstatic reverence.
B. genuine admiration.
C. tepid approval.
D. courteous opposition.
E. antagonistic incredulity.

In west-central New York State there is a group of eleven long, narrow lakes known as
the Finger Lakes. These lakes have been aptly named because of their resemblance to the
fingers of a hand. Two of the largest of the Finger Lakes, Seneca and Cayuga, exemplify the
selection of the name : Seneca is 37 miles long and 4 miles across at its widest point, and
Cayuga is 40 miles long and 2 miles across. Although scientists are uncertain as to how these
lakes were formed, most believe that glacial Ice forged out the valleys to a depth well below
sea level, and with the melting of the glaciers the lakes were formed.
5. What is author‘s tone of this passage?
A. Informative

Pattimura joined the British army after they took the Maluku islands from the Dutch
colonials. When the islands were returned to the Dutch in 1816, he was dismissed. Concerned
that the Dutch would implement programs that limited his people, Pattimura led an armed
rebellion that captured Fort Duurstede on 16 May 1817. Killing the inhabitants of the fortress
and fighting off Dutch reinforcements, on 29 May he was declared the leader of the Maluku
people.
Due to betrayal from Booi's king, Pati Akoon, and Tuanakotta, Pattimura was arrested
on 11 November 1817. He and his fellows were sentenced to death. On 16 December 1817,
Pattimura together with Anthony Reebok, Philip Latumahina, and Said Perintah were hanged
in front of Fort Nieuw Victoria in Ambon.

 Over the last two decades, the use of ICT has been an important topic in education. On
the one hand, studies have shown that ICT can enhance teaching and learning outcomes. For
example, in science and mathematics education, scholars have documented that the use of
ICT can improve students‘ conceptual understanding, problem solving, and team working
skills. Consequently, most curriculum documents state the importance of ICT and encourage
school teachers to use them. However, teachers need to specifically trained in order to
integrate ICT in their teaching.

A study showed that a single artisanal coral reef fishery can produce over 30,000 meals
per year. Its annual economic value is more than $78,000. Ocean and coastal ecosystems
bring a range of benefits to people worldwide. They provide millions of people with food and
livelihoods. Global and local stressors, however, threaten these services. To better understand
the benefits from ocean environments, this study investigated how an artisanal fishery
supports a community. This study uses a community-based approach to assess the factors
affecting resource sustainability and food security in a small-scale coral reef fishery.
8. The sentence ‗Ocean and coastal ecosystems bring a range of benefits to people
worldwide.‘ in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ….
A. people in most countries benefit from marine business
B. oceans benefit the world with water as the main source of rainfalls
C. many people gain considerable advantages from marine ecosystems
 D. explorations from coast to ocean should be done to gain the most benefit

Because they have the ability to evoke an emotional response in readers, political
cartoons can serve as a vehicle for swaying public opinion and can contribute to reform.
Thomas Nast (1840–1902), the preeminent political cartoonist of the second half of the
nineteenth century, demonstrated the power of his medium when he used his art to end the
corrupt Boss Tweed Ring in New York City. His images, first drawn for Harper’s Weekly,
are still in currency today: Nast created the tiger as the symbol of Tammany Hall, the
elephant for the Republican Party, and the donkey for the Democratic Party. Created under
tight deadlines for ephemeral, commercial formats like newspapers and magazines, cartoons
still manage to have lasting influence. Although they tackle the principal issues and leaders of
their day, they often provide a vivid historical picture for generations to come.
9. In line 2, vehicle most nearly means
A. automobile.
B. carrier.
C. tunnel.

When Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white person in Montgomery,
Alabama, and was arrested in December 1955, she set off a train of events that generated a
momentum the civil rights movement had never before experienced. Local civil rights leaders
were hoping for such an opportunity to test the city‘s segregation laws. Deciding to boycott
the buses, the African-American community soon formed a new organization to supervise the
boycott, the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA). The young pastor of the Dexter
Avenue Baptist Church, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., was chosen as the first MIA
leader.
10. In line 13, the word test most nearly means
A. analyze.
B. determine.
C. prove.

The human body can tolerate only a small range of temperature, especially when the
person is engaged in vigorous activity. Heat reactions usually occur when large amounts of
water and/or salt are lost through excessive sweating following strenuous exercise. When the
body becomes overheated and cannot eliminate this excess heat, heat exhaustion and heat
stroke are possible.
Heat exhaustion is generally characterized by clammy skin, fatigue, nausea, dizziness,
profuse perspiration, and sometimes fainting, resulting from an inadequate intake of water
and the loss of fluids. First aid treatment for this condition includes having the victim lie
down, raising the feet 8 to 12 inches, applying cool, wet cloths to the skin, and giving the
victim sips of salt water (1 teaspoon per glass, half a glass every 15 minutes) over a 1-hour
period.
Heat stroke is much more serious; it is an immediate life-threatening situation. The
characteristics of heat stroke are a high body temperature (which may reach 106° F or more);
a rapid pulse; hot, dry skin; and a blocked sweating mechanism. Victims of this condition
may be unconscious, and first-aid measures should be directed at quickly cooling the body.
The victim should be placed in a tub of cold water or repeatedly sponged with cool water
until his or her
temperature is sufficiently droped. Fans or air conditioners will also help with the cooling
process. Care should be taken, however, not to over-chill the victim once the temperature is
below 102° F.
11. The most immediate concern of a person tending to a victim of heat stroke should be to
A. Get salt into the victim‘s body.
B. Raise the victim‘s feet.
C. Lower the victim‘s pulse.
D. Lower the victim‘s temperature.
E. Raise the victim‘s internal heat
12. Which of the following is a symptom of heat exhaustion?
A. Unconsciousness
B. Profuse sweating
 C. Hot, dry skin
D. A weak pulse
E. Over-chill
13. Heat stroke is more serious than heat exhaustion because heat stroke victims…
A. Sweat a lot.
B. Have no salt in their bodies.
C. Cannot take in water.
D. Have frequent fainting spells.
E. Do not sweat.
14. Symptoms such as nausea and dizziness in a heat exhaustion victim indicate that the
person most likely needs to
A. Be immediately taken to a hospital.
B. Be given more salt water.
C. Be immersed in a tub of water.
D. Sweat more.
E. Be immediately steamed by salt water.
Question 15 is based on the following passage!
The kind of education that is offered in the high school system is not needed by all
people. After primary school, students have learned the basic skills required to work in an
untrained profession, and do not need the more advanced education that high school offers.
Sons or daughters frequently carry on the family business, and after completing their primary
education, any further, more advanced education is unnecessary, because they can learn all
they need to know about their future profession from their father/mother.
15. According to the writer advanced education is not essential for some students ..........
A. But it doesn't mean that all students do the same
B. Since they'll prefer a profession not requiring a special training
C. And these skills make students become successful individuals
D. As schools aren't the safest place in children's education
E. Since violence in our schools prevents them from learning necessary skills

Indonesia is the world‘s third-largest coffee producer and exporter, after Brazil and
Vietnam. National coffee output has grown over the past decades, albeit not in a linear
fashion as harvests fluctuate strongly from one year to another depending on the weather.
With per-capita coffee consumption on the rise both in Indonesia and the wider region, there
is obvious room for further growth, but there is also an obvious need for investment. The
capital required to take Indonesia‘s coffee industry to the next level presents appealing
prospects for investors, while the country‘s burgeoning coffee culture also brings
opportunities for foreign exporters.
Indonesia‘s tropical climate produces almost ideal conditions for planting coffee.
Today, most Indonesian coffee comes from Sumatra, but Sulawesi and Kalimantan, the
Lesser Sunda Islands of Bali, Sumbawa and Flores as well as the country‘s easternmost
region of Papua all contribute to national output. Robusta coffee makes up more than three
quarters of Indonesia‘s produce; the remainder is of the milder Arabica type. The numerous
coffee-growing regions in the country produce beans of distinct flavors and properties, and a
number of highland Arabica coffees from Indonesia are recognized by aficionados the world
over.
Indonesian coffee exports rose from 336,840 tonnes (or 5,614,000 60-KG bags) in crop
year 2000/2001 to 656,400 tonnes (10,940,000 bags) in 2012/2013, according to data collated
by the International Coffee Organization. Total production over the same period increased
from 419,220 tonnes to 763,800 tonnes. At present, the principal destinations for Indonesian
coffee are the US, Japan and Western Europe (particularly Germany), but Indonesia is well
placed to capitalize on the fast-rising demand in the ASEAN region and in China.
16. What can be inferred from paragraph 3 in the passage?
A. The coffee export has decreased in several years
B. Total production deducted from 419,220 tonnes to 763,800 tonnes
C. Indonesian coffee exports increased from 2000/2001 to 2012/2013
D. Indonesia is in a good site to take advantage of fast-rising demand in ASEAN
E. The US, Japan and Western Europe are the destination for Indonesian coffee

A.D 830: A storm sends an Indonesian trading ship drastically off course. Months later,
dozens of ragged survivors make landfall on an island off thesoutheast coast of Africa, more
than 3,000, miles from home. Today, Murray Cox, a computational biologist at New
Zealand's Massey University, says a scenario like this may describe the gloomy origins of the
first permanent settlements on Madagascar, home to about 22 million people today.
Genetic and linguistic studies suggest the island's native Malagasy people are mainly of
Indonesian descent. The idea of early Indonesians traveling 3,000 miles to the island
intrigued Cox. "It's a surprisingly long distance to come," he says. So he used computer
modeling to parse the clues, running through 40 million settlement simulations. Cox soon
pinpointed one that would explain the DNA patterns evident in Madagascar today.
Surprisingly, the current population descends primarily from just 30 or so Indonesian women
who arrived 12 centuries ago. His conclusion is supported by prior findings that about 30
percent of Malagasy have the same mitochondrial DNA, which is passed from mother to
child—far less diversity than in typical human populations, which share less than 2 percent.
"This suggests rapid, recent growth from a very small founder population," Cox says.
It is unclear how Madagascar's founding mothers (and the fathers who must have been
with them) arrived. Cox, proposes seafaring merchants thrown off course, or refugees fleeing
political strife; the latter could explain why woman, usually not found on trade ships, were on
board. Now, Cox plans to explore whether small founding groups are characteristics of other
early island settlements, including Hawaii. "There may be general rules for settling islands,"
he says.

17. The passage implies that Indonesian settlers Madagascar most probably ....
A. migrated due to political reasons
B. were the first settlers on the island
C. traveled to the island on purpose
D. landed on the island by accident
E. found it hard to live on the island

The use of narcotics and illegal drugs does not merely have an impact on mental and
behavioral disorders. Even worse, drugs damage the heart and can lead to death. The effects
of drugs on the heart vary, ranging from mild, severe, to death.
There are three types of drugs that cause death in the heart muscle: cocaine,
amphetamines, and ecstasy. These three types of drug substances have a similar effect on the
heart. They cause an increase in the catecholamine hormone which makes the heart work
harder. The effect of consuming it is a sudden increase in blood pressure. As a result, the
heart muscles‘ demand for oxygen increases. The long-term effect of using this type of drug
can damage (tie walls of the blood vessels, both the arteries and coronary arteries. This
condition causes a tear in the blood vessel wall. In addition, damage to the heart muscle can
interfere with the heart‘s pumping function and cause heart rhythm disturbances. The heart
rates can become very fast and a cardiac arrest can happen.
Other groups of drugs that damage the heart are LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) and
psilocybin, which causes hallucinations. The effect of these substances on the heart is an
increase in the heart rate and blood pressure though it is not as high as that caused by cocaine
or amphetamines. A rare but quite serious effect is a heart rhythm disorder in the form of
tachyarrhythmia where the heart rate increases very rapidly. The next prohibited substance is
morphine and its derivatives.
Besides LSD, there is morphine which is a strong antidote to pain, but excessive use of
this substance will lead to addiction. The higher the dose is consumed, the greater is the effect
in reducing the heart‘s performance. The fatal effects comprise, among others, shocks and
cardiac arrest. Another disorder found in morphine users is pulmonary edema, which is
submerged lungs that can be fatal. The last group is marijuana. In high doses, marijuana
causes a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate, which can lead to fatality. The most severe
condition due to marijuana are cardiac arrest and death.
18. Which conclusion is the most appropriate based on the passage?
A. The higher the dose of the drug consumed, the greater the impact on the heart‘s
health.
B. Taking small amounts of drugs under prescription is allowed for medical reasons
only.
C. The less drug is consumed, the healthier the condition of one‘s heart.
D. Illegal drugs of the LSD type have a fatal effect on the heart‘s health.
E. Not consuming drugs can maintain heart‘s optimum health.

On the other hand, stereotyping can create problem because it, researchers
suggest, may result in racial discrimination. In its most overt form, racial discrimination
occurs as we attribute the same negative characteristics to all members of a group, regardless
of individual differences. It is usually based on misconceptions, incomplete information
and/or false generalizations.
Researchers have found that stereotypes exist of different races, cultures, or ethnic
groups and racial stereotypes always seem to favor the race of the holder, and belittle the
others. In 1933, for example, Katz and Braly gave a list of 84 personality traits and asked
American university students to pick out five or six traits which they thought were typical of
each nationalities/ ethnic group. The result shows that there was considerable agreement in
the traits selected. White americans, for example, were seen as industrious, progressive, and
ambitious, while African Americans were seen lazy, ignorant, and musical.
In other research, Lowery examined just how readily people associate particular social
groups with certain kinds of feelings. In a subliminal word-association exercise, black
people‘s faces were more quickly associated with negative words, while white faces were
linked with postitive words.
Another research proves that even people who disavow prejudice can fall into racist
traps. Since negative stereotypes about various racial groups bombard us everyday in the
mass media , they deposit their residue deep into our minds. Even among the most well-
intentioned and consciously egalitarian people, nonconscious association about ethnic groups
still have an effect on behavior and attitudes.
19. It can be inferred from the text that what we should do is ...
1. To avoid the use of stereotype.
2. To be aware of the disadvantage of stereotyping.
3. Not to practice prejudice and racial discrimination.
4. To fall into racist trap.
5. To have further research on stereotyping.

After rising steadily for almost a century, standards of education in the public schools
of Europe and North America have levelled off, and in the opinion of many parents and
employers, are actually falling. More and more children are leaving school with little more
than basic knowledge of reading, writing, and arithmetic, and illiteracy is becoming a social
problem once again. With dropout rates of twenty-seven percent in high school and fifty
percent in colleges, the American education system is clearly in trouble; European dropout
rates, though lower than those of U.S., are rising too.
 Various factors have been blamed for the apparent decline in educational standards.
Some people say that over-crowding and lack of discipline are major factors. Others maintain
that subjects like art and drama have been overemphasized at the expense of more practical
subjects. The negative influence of television is frequently mentioned as a reason for growing
illiteracy. Many teachers and principals, however, insist that the problem is not of falling
standards but of rising expectations on the part of parents and employers.
Whether or not standards in public schools are actually falling, many parents feel that
the only way to secure a good education for their children is to send them to private schools,
which generally have smaller classer and stricter discipline. The popularity of such schools is
going steadily, despite the high tuition fees. In the United States, for example, eleven percent
of all school children attend private schools; in France, over sixteen percent do so.
20. From the second paragraph, it can be inferred that ….
A. Many factors are involved in the decline in educational standards in the U.S. and
Europe.
B. Factors which cause the decline in educational standards in the U.S. and Europe are
debatable.
C. The decline in educational standards in the U.S. and Europe is mainly caused by
parents and employers.
D. School needs more practical subjects.
E. Many parents believe that send their children to private school is the right thing to get
a good education.
