Forests have the ability to regulate water systems, prevent erosion and flood, and maintain soil fertility. The ability of
forests is inseparable from the existence of millions and even billions of trees in a forest area. Trees only store
water for their own needs, and the land saves water. Billions of trees with their wide canopies will hold back rain. In
this position, rain water does not directly hit the soil surface, but will fall slowly through the leaves and flow through
the tree trunk. Then, the soil surface filled with tree trunks will produce quite a lot of litter originating from organic
materials in the forms of leaf and dry twigs. Dramatically, littering is heading towards the decay process. The
organic materials are collected on the soil surface. Litter blocks the water falling from the canopy so it does not
directly hit the soil. Litter also functions as a place to live for millions of organisms (e.g. worms). This organism
punctures the land as a home and place of life. This organism’s behavior causes the soil surface to become loose
and porous. When rain drops from the canopy fall onto the litter, the water slowly flows to the soil surface. The loose
and porous top layer of soil will absorb the water and then the water will be stored in the aquifer, the underground
river. The soil surface in the forest has high capacity to absorb rainwater. As a result, most of the rainwater seeps
into the soil; only a little becomes running water. Running water is the water that cannot be absorbed by the soil
surface. This water will go down to a lower area. If running water exceeds the carrying capacity of the river, it can
certainly cause flood. Most of the rainwater that falls in the forest area will be absorbed by the soil and stored in the
aquifer. Furthermore, the water stored in the aquifer will come out regularly through springs. From these springs,
water flows through rivers that are mostly found in the forest area. In addition, there is also underground water that
comes out as a spring in the resident wells.
3. With the sentence ‘This organism's behavior causes the soil surface to become loose and porous’ in paragraph 3,
the writer intends to ....
A. describe the organism and its behavior against loose soil
B. confirm the behavior of organisms in loose soil
C. compare the loose soil with the porous soil
D. uncover natural processes at soil erosion
E. explain the causes of soil erosion
Latihan Soal 1
There are two crucial points on the topic of education and training of future educational psychologists. They are: the space and
context of the school/educational psychologist’s performance; and the psychology undergraduate course curriculum. On the
first point, it is understood and defended that there is a big difference between being an educational psychologist on the staff of
a school, and acting as a school psychologist in a private office outside the institution. Even though the profession is defined by
education (degree) and the purpose of the work (responding to school’s demands), it is understood that the local/position in
which the professional stands makes a big difference in the role of its actions. Consequently, different elements are required in
the process of the individual’s education/training, such as: knowledge about educational policies, organization and laws;
training to deal with institution dynamic and continued education, etc.
On the second point, it is defended that the school environment and the whole structure that delimits this space should be
considered when choosing disciplines and the method of knowledge construction for undergraduate curricula design, thereby
expanding the professional’s insight into other knowledge fields, such as education and politics, among others. About the
curriculum related to the performance of educational psychologists outside (as consultants or autonomous professionals) and
inside the school (as part of the teacher/functionary board), a discussion is proposed between the professional practice and the
reflections enabled by the application of the Network of Meanings concept, which may show, among others, connections
between elements.
Latihan Soal 2
Before engineers dreamed of eliminating drivers in cars, they imagined eliminating the side mirrors. Now a long-sought
solution looks closer to finally stripping cars of side mirrors. Many automakers demonstrate video systems that replace the
Mickey Mouse ears with cameras. Continental, a major parts and systems supplier to automakers, was one of them.
In a customized Mercedes-Benz CLS, Continental demonstrated how its system would work. Thumb-size video cameras on the
exterior of the car replace the side-mounted mirrors and use interior screens on the left and right side of the dashboard to deliver
views of what is next to and behind the car. The screens are near where a driver would normally look to check a mirror, and the
camera views are wider than what a physical mirror can provide, eliminating blind spots along the side of the car. The cameras,
which can automatically adjust to reduce glare from sunlight or increase brightness at night, are also helpful in tight parking
spots.
Technology suppliers hope that regulations requiring old-fashioned physical mirrors will be amended. Philipp Hoffmann,
BMW’s project manager for camera monitor systems expected to begin road testing of the mirrorless systems in Europe this
year, quickly followed by additional testing in Asia. He remained hopeful that the United States would follow soon.
He may have a good reason to be optimistic. Daimler AG, parent company of Mercedes-Benz, is already testing a couple of
autonomous tractor-trailers in Nevada that use large high-definition screens instead of side mirrors. Also, BMW recently
received an exemption from the Transportation Department in the U.S. to allow it to deploy an automatic parking feature that
enables a BMW 7 Series car to park itself, while the driver stands on the curb. It is a feature the company demonstrated only a
year ago.
Using cameras instead of physical mirrors could also end dangling damaged mirrors. To replace a typical mirror can be
expensive as much as $946 on a 2015 Acura RLX, according to the insurance institute. However, Mr. McConnell at Continental
noted potential savings in building cars that no longer need the structural support for side-mounted mirrors.
a. The last sentence of paragraph 3 describes the regulation in implementing the technology in the U.S. and the following
paragraph elaborates it.
b. The sentence discusses the possibility for the technology to be implemented in the U.S. and the following paragraph
explains the reason for the possibility.
c. The sentence states Philipp Hoffman’s idea about eliminating drivers in car and the following paragraph elaborates the
idea.
d. Paragraph 4 provides an example to support the idea about the implementation of Mercedes-Benz technology
mentioned in the previous sentence.
e. Paragraph 4 explicates Continental’s sense of optimism provided in the last sentence of paragraph 3.

The green movement is catching on in many pockets of the world. This is especially true in the construction industry. Today’s
buzzwords, which include global warming and zero emission, are causing everyday people to look for ways to reduce their
carbon footprint. Purchasing environmentally-friendly property is a good investment for those who are concerned about their
own health and the well-being of the earth. Based on this trend, entire districts, known as eco-communities, are being designed
with green initiatives in mind. Dockside Green in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada is one of these communities. Its goal is to
become the world’s first zero-emissions neighborhood.
Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make. They ensure proper ventilation, and
guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Interior and exterior building materials, such as paints and wood, are natural and
non-toxic. Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it is durable and does not require pesticides to grow.
Energy efficiency is one of the top priorities in eco-communities, such as Dockside Green. Not only do energy-efficient
appliances and light fixtures reduce the environmental impact of heating and hot water, they also save residents and business
owners money. Dockside Green claims that homeowners will use 55% less energy than average residents in Canada. Though
they are sharing space by investing in condo-style living, residents will have individual utility metres. Studies show that people
use approximately 20% less energy when they are billed for exactly what they use. In addition, water is treated at Dockside
Green and reused on site for flushing toilets.
Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account. Dockside Green will reuse 90% of its
construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers for all of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a
great way to reduce emissions. Dockside residents will be encouraged to make use of a mini transit system and buy into the
community’s car share program. Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that will use renewable biomass
instead of fossil fuels.
The false idea that the author may hold about Dockside Green is that…

Having known the benefit of seasonal detoxification, it is then important for us to know how to do it. The best way to begin a
spring cleanse, and to optimize results, is to incorporate cleansing and alkalizing foods, nutrients, botanicals, and mind-body
healing practices into a gentle program. They also allow healing and transformation to spring forth naturally.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophy, every season correlates to different “elements” or organ
systems in the body. For example, winter correlates with the water element and the kidneys/bladder system. From a Western
naturopathic perspective, cold weather can put stress on your adrenal and thyroid glands. As a result, the blood becomes more
acidic and there is a buildup of lactic acid. This can lead to sluggishness, muscle and joint pain, and arthritis.
Both Eastern and Western naturopathic medical systems agree that the transition from winter to spring offers an ideal
opportunity to shed extra weight. It is also a good time to gently cleanse accumulated toxins from the body. This excess buildup
can be the result of numerous factors. The main causes include unhealthy diet, poor digestion, lack of exercise, winter
dehydration, normal metabolic processes, and environmental pollution.
In TCM, spring corresponds to the liver and the gallbladder. A gentle spring cleanse effectively supports the liver’s vital
detoxification processes. It also eliminates toxins stored in organs and tissues, helps shed excess weight, alkalizes the body, and
gets your circulation and energy moving. Digestion is improved and inflammation is reduced. Moreover, blood sugar is
balanced and immune functions better.
A cleansing diet is the most critical component of any detoxification program. Animal protein, particularly red meat, should be
minimized during a cleanse. It emphasizes lighter, organic plant-based proteins that are easier for the body to digest. Below are
the critical components of a detox diet which can help improve digestion and enhance detoxification, resulting in greater energy
and vitality.

Malnutrition among children in refugee is a critical public health concern due to the heightened vulnerability. The rate of
malnutrition in refugees’ camp needs to be viewed as not just a health issue but as a serious protection and access to basic rights
failure. The magnitude of acute malnutrition among refugee camps in Ethiopia is relatively well-documented. A nutritional
survey done in 2014 among south Sudanese refugee camps showed that the prevalence of acute malnutrition was almost two-
fold the emergency threshold of 15%.
Acute malnutrition is not only a condition that kills but also has long term health and developmental consequences among
recovered children after receiving appropriate treatment. These long term consequences include an increased risk of stunted
growth, impaired cognitive development and a greater chance of developing non-communicable diseases in adulthood. This
demonstrates that it is of utmost importance to invest not only in the treatment of acute malnutrition but also in its prevention.
The problem, as well as the solution to malnutrition, is multi-faceted. In addition to an actual shortage of food; poor sanitation,
a lack of available potable water, caring practices and insufficient health services are all significant factors contributing to the
population’s overall nutritional status and health. There is no single silver bullet that will instantly eradicate malnutrition from
the refugee camps but only through a holistic approach and strong group effort. Effective policies and programs to alleviate
malnutrition requires an understanding of the determinants of acute malnutrition in the refugee camps.
Which of the following can best replace the word magnitude in “The magnitude of acute malnutrition …” (paragraph 1)?
a. capacity
b. importance
c. weight
d. amount
e. power

Read the passage below.
When exploratory divers discovered the underwater Mexican cave site known as Hoyo Negro, the conditions of the cave were
so pristine and stable, but there was evidence that at least one person had been inside the cave before the divers: A
Paleoamerican girl nicknamed Naia, who had fallen to her death while presumably collecting water from the cave during the
late Pleistocene era, between 13,000 and 12,000 years ago. The divers found her skeleton, as well as the remains of several Ice
Age animals, on the cave floor. According to Rissolo and project co-director, James Chatters, it was like the La Brea tar pits
without the tar.
This remarkable discovery represents the first and only example of human remains found in direct association with extinct
megafauna in the Americas, says Rissolo, who is a visiting scholar at UC San Diego from the Waitt Institute and a research
associate at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The remains of two gomphotheres (extinct elephant-like creatures), two
Shasta ground sloths, a pair of saber-toothed cats and numerous other animals were also found with Naia in the underwater pit,
which measures 200 feet in diameter and is located in the far Southeast of the country, on the Yucután Peninsula.
Computer science Ph.D. student Vid Petrovic – a member of the Center’s Integrative Graduate Education and Research
Traineeship (IGERT) program in cultural heritage diagnostics – is using photos taken by the scientific dive team to create 3D
structure-from-motion (SfM) models of the cave site, and he has used the same technique to recreate Naia’s mandible.
SfM is an imaging technique that, in this case, uses two-dimensional photographs taken underwater at the cave site. Petrovic
tracks and aligns features in the photos (such as corner points) to ‘stitch together’ and reconstruct the objects digitally in 3D.
Rissolo says that given the proper lighting, camera set-up and protocols, SfM is a relatively straightforward and cost-effective
imaging and visualization method, especially for documenting archaeological sites that are not easily accessible or are
threatened with destruction, either natural or human-derived.

Read the passage below.
The study of songbirds has revealed a variety of fundamental properties of biological systems. In particular,
neurobiological studies carried out in songbirds have revealed the presence of newly born neurons in the adult brain, how
steroid hormones affect brain development, the neural and mechanistic bases of vocalizations, and how experience modifies
neuronal physiology. More evidently, however, songbirds have been extensively used as a model for imitative vocal
learning, a behavior thought to be a substrate for speech acquisition in humans. Now an international consortium has unveiled
the genome of the zebra finch (Taeniopygia Guttata).
Sequencing the zebra finch genome was initiated in 2005 under the Large Scale Genome Sequencing Program of the
National Human Genome Research Institute. The prior work in the research community characterizing the zebra finch brain
transcriptase. These initiatives, along with new zebra finch genome sequences, have resulted in the complete genome sequenced
with 17,475 protein-coding genes identified, as well as regulatory regions and non-coding RNAs. The annotation and sequence
coverage of the zebra finch genome will certainly be refined in the years to come, but the initial endeavor is expected to provide
a unique platform for modern genomics research in this organism. Furthermore, this initial snapshot of the songbird genome
should provide critical insights into fundamental scientific questions, including an array of physiological and evolutionary
processes.
From the sentence ‘… songbirds have been extensively used as a model for imitative vocal learning, ….’ in paragraph 1, it can
be stated that…

What will man be like in the future – in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can
be sure that he will be different from what he is today. From man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious
example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller.
Five hundred is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern
world, we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain capacity. As time goes on,
however, we shall have to use our brains more and more – and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring
about a physical change too; the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear
glasses. But over a very long period of time, it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make
less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow
more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the
body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are
likely to be bald.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the
same, in spite of these changes, future man will still have a lot of common with us. He will still be a human being, with
thoughts and emotions that resemble us.
According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE about the man?

Read the passage below.
Everyone knows the basics about Santa, the jolly man in a red suit that delivers gifts at Christmas. How a small town near
the Arctic Circle in Finland became known as his “official hometown” proves a less familiar twist to the story. Santa was a
marketing gimmick, based on a third-century, ancient bishop from Turkey known for secretly giving away his large inheritance.
His random acts of kindness didn’t go unnoticed, earning sainthood and global celebration on the date of his death, December
6. This story of Saint Nicolas then traveled with Dutch immigrants to the US, where “Sinterklaas” was moulded into the visual
image of Santa we all recognize today. Without much of a backstory to Santa Claus, an illustration in Harpers magazine from
1866 is credited with establishing the legend of his home at the “North Pole.”
In 1927, Markus Rautio–a Finnish radio broadcaster known as “Uncle Marcus”–claimed on-air that Santa’s workshop
was discovered in Rovaniemi, Finland. The government of the province, Lapland, declared itself “Santa Claus Land” decades
later to boost tourism. Santa Claus Village opened just outside Rovaniemi in 1985. Of course, there are other places that lay
claim to a Santa or Saint Nick association: Korvatunturi, Finland, claims to be his real home and that Rovaniemi was just
created for tourists. The Church of Saint Nicolas in Demre, Turkey, contains his sarcophagus but not his bones. There’s a
multitude of pop-ups around the world, but the Santa in Rovaniemi differs in that the man is marketed as the original, and
tourists can visit him throughout the year.
Christmas lasts all year round in Rovaniemi, a place of anticipation. Even the hardcore cynic will be moved by the
“Christmas Spirit.” After visiting Santa, families can dine in the snowglobe atmosphere of the Ice Restaurant and Ice Bar in
Snowman World. Leaving from the Elf’s Yard, kids can cross the Arctic Circle with traditional Lappish wooden skis. The
region forms part of the natural habitat for roaming reindeer–unlike the North Pole.
Santa Claus’s Main Post Office, with a special Arctic Circle stamp, received about half a million letters last year. In
reality, this figure is much higher since post offices around the world have their own systems of dealing with letters addressed
to Santa. Santa in Rovaniemi received 18 million letters from 199 different countries to date, and at Christmastime, can receive
32,000 letters per day, with the most letters arriving from China. An official reply from Santa Claus will set people back more
than 10 dollars (8.90 euros). It is free to see him, but tourists can’t take photos or videos, although you can buy the official one.
In high season (November through March), prices reach more than 50 dollars (45 euros).

Read the following text.
Over the past 115 years global average temperatures have increased 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, leading to record-breaking weather
events and temperature extremes, the report says. The global, long-term warming trend is “unambiguous,” it says, and there is
“no convincing alternative explanation” that anything other than humans — the cars we drive, the power plants we operate, the
forests we destroy — are to blame.
The report was approved for release by the White House, but the findings come as the Trump administration is defending its
climate change policies. The United Nations convenes its annual climate change conference next week in Bonn, Germany, and
the American delegation is expected to face harsh criticism over President Trump’s decision to walk away from the 195-nation
Paris climate accord and top administration officials’ stated doubts about the causes and impacts of a warming planet.
While there were pockets of resistance to the report in the Trump administration, according to climate scientists involved in
drafting the report, there was little appetite for a knockdown fight over climate change among Mr. Trump’s top advisers, who
are intensely focused on passing a tax reform bill — an effort they think could determine the fate of his presidency.

The story of Dara Puspita, an Indonesian all-female band that was famous in the 1960s, is set to be made into a biopic by
production house FP. FP producer Frederica said she believed the Surabaya-based band’s story deserved to be told on the big
screen. “We think it’s important, especially because at that time they were the only Indonesian all-female band that performed
in dozens of European cities,” Frederica told tempo.co.
Expected to be released in 2020, the production house is currently still conducting research. “Their story will be very
inspiring,” said Frederica, who expressed optimism the film would set a new trend in the industry, which she said lacked, films
about local musicians. The band has reportedly given consent for the adaptation. Drummer Titiek Hamzah also expressed hopes
the film would show the band’s stories and struggles. “It needs to represent what a musician’s journey is like,” she said. The
journey of Dara Puspita began from the 1960s to the early 1970s. In 1965, they became the opening act for legendary band
Koes Bersaudara under the name Irama Puspita. Among their popular tracks were “A Go Go”, “Burung Kakaktua” and “Tanah
Airku”.
a. exposing the news about the film then explaining its values
b. exposing the reason behind the making of the film and explaining the plot

Read the passage below.
In 1979, two British farmers reported that, while sitting on a hill, they suddenly saw the crops below flattened in a perfect
circle. They inferred that some great force must have come down directly from above to squash the corn and barley. This
started a public hysteria about so-called crop circles. The patterns pressed into the crops (not all of them were circles) seemed to
have no entry or exit points. Many people hypothesized that only alien spaceships could make such bizarre imprints.
Others, including Britain’s police, assailed such wild conclusions. They had a contrary theory: Someone was playing a big
hoax. Teams of investigators took samples of the plants and the soil, trying to objectively analyze the crop circles as if they
were a crime scene.
Public curiosity often impaired the investigators, who had to tolerate busloads of tourists flocking to the circles. The farmers in
the area, long suspicious of the police, approached the case as an instance of police versus the people. If the local farmers knew
the circles were a hoax, they wouldn’t say so.
Which of the following can be inferred from the statement ‘Many people hypothesized that only alien spaceships could make
such bizarre imprints’ in the first paragraph?

Read the following text.
Dangerous as anger can be, it is also natural, even necessary, and has been hard-wired into the brain by evolution. Most
obviously, anger helped people survive. As soon as this survival was threatened, anger was triggered, along with violent
defensive action. More surprisingly, perhaps, anger also helped early humans to live together in groups, acting as a kind of
warning signal in the form of threatening facial expressions, clenched fists, reddening cheeks, and so on. This lets others know
that their behavior was unacceptable, that they were invading someone’s personal space and that they risked physical
retaliation.
At first glance, anger seems relatively simple. Ask the man in the street to define it and he will probably say ‘it’s what happens
when people annoy you.’ But anger can take many forms and has numerous different triggers. And what infuriates one person
may pass by another unnoticed. One individual can make her way through a bustling crowd, or sit next to a screaming child,
and seem perfectly relaxed. But if someone questions her political beliefs, or disrupts her plans, she will fly into an
uncontrollable rage.
For some, anger is triggered more by petty annoyances than by major catastrophes. They will be calm and methodical during a
bereavement, for example, or when traveling to the hospital for an operation, but as soon as the neighbor’s car alarm goes off,
or the printer runs out of ink, they explode. For others, it is threats to their money, property, status or time that act as the major
catalyst. They may let the petty irritations go, but if their car is scratched or their authority questioned, they become enraged.
Finally, some will laugh off both petty irritations and threats to their money or status. For them, rule-breaking is the most
infuriating thing. This is especially true of those with obsessive-compulsive or autistic traits: people who like and need things to
be regular and ordered. And such rules can be more like vague, unspoken agreements. For example, someone may be sensitive
about their acne or low income. Friends understand this and so the subject is never raised. One evening, someone makes a
harmless remark and is shocked to see their friend explode with rage. But it wasn’t the fact that his low income or bad skin had
been mentioned, nor even that he felt humiliated; his anger was sparked because someone had broken the rules.
a. Some people get angry for small or serious things and some others might get angry, not due to small or serious matters,
but because people ask them what they do not like to be asked.
b. Most people get angry with something they cannot control or predict, or something they are very sensitive to.
c. Some people get angry for small things, while some get angry for more serious matters.
d. Amongst many conditions that make people angry, the most frequent reason is when people raise a topic that relates to
the person’s bad experience in the past.
e. For an obsessive-compulsive person or someone with autistic traits, he/she can get angry when someone has broken the
rules by, for example messing up the order or regulation and not doing what they are asked to do.
