SOAL SPMB REGIONAL I TAHUN 2005 Text I Motion sickness comes in many forms, not just sickness. Ninety percent of the human race is susceptible to motion sickness of one kind or another. Some people become sick when they sit in the backseat of a car; others cannot read or look at a map in any kind of moving vehicle. People get motion sickness on airplanes, motorcycles, amusement park rides, and even on camels! Scientists have learned that motion sickness occurs when the brain is trying to make sense of situation and there are too many conflicting messages. While the eyes are sending one message, the ears are sending a message about balance. The skin and bone joint, sensitive to air pressure send another message. Many people who have experienced violent motion sickness try to avoid travel. But that is not always possible. So, travelers should employ some well-known strategies to avoid getting sick. The most useful strategy concerns food: eat a light meal before traveling and bring along a packet of plain soda crackers to snack on regularly. Avoid alcoholic and carbonated beverages, high-fat foods, and spices. Care in choosing the location of your seat is another important strategy. In a car, sit at the front and keep your eyes fixed on the horizon. People who still got sick after trying these strategies can try medical help. Some rely on over-the counter medications, although some of them can make you sleepy. Others use simple ginger capsules to settle their stomach. A large number of travelers use pressure bands on their wrists. It is not clear how these bands work, but they do prevent motion sickness. 1. A suitable title for the text is . (A) Motion Sickness (B) Inability to Avoid Motion Sickness (C) Effect of Motion Sickness (D) The Worst Kind of Motion Sickness (E) Susceptibility to Motion Sickness 2. A person who gets motion sickness because of . (A) sitting in vehicles (B) reading a book while traveling (C) waiting for the airplane to come (D) the conflicting messages received by the brain (E) watching rides in the amusement park

SOAL REGIONAL I TAHUN 2003 Text I Nobody actually wants to hurt, the feelings of others but as business becomes ever more international, it is increasingly easy to get it wrong. There may be a single European market but it does not mean that managers behave the same in Greece as they do in Denmark. In many European countries handshaking is an automatic gesture. In France good manners require that on arriving at a business meeting a manager shakes hands with everyone present. This can be a demanding task and, in a crowded room, may require great efforts if the farthest hand is to be reached. Handshaking is almost as popular in other countries including Germany, Belgium, and Italy. But Northern European, such as the British and Scandinavians, are not quite so fond of physical demonstrations of friendliness. In Europe the most common challenge is not the content of the food, but the way you behave as you eat. Something are just not done. In France it is good manners to raise questions of business over the main course. Business has its place; after cheese course. Unless you are prepared to eat in silence you have to talk about something something that is , other than the business deal which you are continually thinking about. In Germany, as you walk sadly back to your hotel room, you may wonder why your apparently friendly hosts have not invited you out for the evening. Dont worry it is probably nothing personal. Germans do not entertain business people with quite the same enthusiasm as some of their European counterparts.

SOAL RAYON A TAHUN 2001 Text I Most large companies do not know how to make the best use of clever people. Employees who criticize the old ways of doing things and want to try out new ideas are disliked both by their colleagues and by their bosses. Comments like They wouldnt listen to me or I kept presenting new product ideas. Only to hear nothing are typical of many a manager who become an entrepreneur. All of this causes frustration, which can quickly lead to boredom. Often, middle managers start to think: only another 30 more years of working my way to retirement. At this point, they want to find away out. They need to get away from a job that is no longer attractive. So they decide to set up on their own. But they need something else, too: the challenge of taking risks. They like people who climb a mountain by the most dangerous route. Entrepreneurial types need to try out new things without knowing whether they will succeed or fail. They also want to prove that they can make it without big company support. As well as motivation, most successful entrepreneurs have a number of personal characteristics in common. The first is selfconfidence, the feeling of certainty that you have got the skills, knowledge and energy to build up your own business. There is also stubbornness, the determination to prove to the boss who rejected your ideas that they were good ideas which can be made to work. Possessing this quality means that you wont give up: you have to make your ideas work. 1. The main information of the text is about _____ (A) why a manager prefect to set up his own business (B) how large companies treat their managers (C) when a manager wants to retire from the company

Text II Cameroon is a West African country of ten million people which has been very successful in growing food for its people, unlike many other West African countries. Since 1971 it has doubled its output of major foodstuffs such as maize and potatoes. Now it is one of the few African countries able to feed it self. This was not the case five years ago when the country was only 75-80% self-sufficient in food. Although isolated pockets of hunger still remain, the World Bank nowadays gives Cameroon money to sustain, not to achieve, self-sufficiency in food production. 6. The text tells us about _____ (A) West African countries (B) Cameroons ability to feed its people (C) Major foodstuffs in West Africa

Text III Continued progress in advanced technology is not necessary. Already the technical progress in our world has caused severe pollution in the air and in the water. Although the technical progress is that many inventions whish were developed for good caused are now also used for powerful weapons or have been found to have serious side effects. For example, pesticide put inside particle boards to prevent termites has now been found to be toxic to human life. Technology does not always bring good effects; for example, computers do much work faster than man, but then man loses his job to a machine. Because no man can guarantee that technology will have only good effects and will be used only for the benefit of man, we should delay the continued development of technology. 8. The authors purpose in writing this paragraph is _____ (A) to describe pollution caused by advanced technology (B) to show how advantageous advanced technology is for human beings (C) to have people stop developing advanced technology (D) to explain what further inventions in technology should be made (E) to make people implement advanced technology 9.

UMPTN 1999 RAYON A Text I In almost all developing countries, the lack of adequate supplies of cheap, convenient and reliable fuel is a major problem. Rural communities depend largely on kerosene, wood and dung for their cooking and lighting needs. But kerosene is now priced out of reach of many people and wood, except in heavily forested areas, is in short supply. The search for firewood occupies a large part of the working day and has resulted in widespread deforestation. Dung is in constant supply wherever there are farm animals and, when dried, it is convenient to store and use. But burning dung destroys its value as fertilizer, thus depriving the soil of a much needed source of humus and nitrogen. Rural areas of developing countries are also plagued by a lack af adequate sanitation, improper waste disposal spreads disease, contaminates water sources and provides breeding ground for diseasecarrying insects. The problems of improving environmental hygiene, conserving resources, and finding alternative sources of full may be unrelated. Their solutions, however, are not, as many countries experimenting with biogas technology are discovering. Biogas, a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide, is produced by the fermentation of organic matter. The process of anaerobic fermentation is a natural one, occurring whenever living matter decomposes. By keeping the matter and the process- in a digester or biogas plant, the combustible gas can be trapped and used as fuel for household lighting and cooking. The digested slurry that remains can be used on the land as a soil conditioner and fertilizer. 1. What are the two main problems mentioned in the text? A. Pollution and the high price of fuel B. Widespread deforestation and the use of dung

UMPTN 1996 RAYON A Ultraviolet light means the invisible part of the spectrum beyond violet. This light has always been regarded as very useful because it is used to cure certain skin diseases, kill bacteria, detect counterfeit money, form vitamins. etc Along with the increasingly use of computers in financial activities, Ultraviolet light has been widely applied by bank to identify the signature of their customers in passbook. When a customer opens a new account with a bank , the teller always asks him to sign on a card placed in the signature will be left this can be used to computer with the signature on the customer's withdrawal slip under ultraviolet light.

UMPTN 1995 RAYON A Text I Cassava is the staple food of millions of people in Africa, Asia and South and Central America. Its swollen tuberous root can be boiled and mashed or grated to produce a meal known as 'farinha'in Brazil and 'garri' in Nigeria, which can be cooked in small cakes. The root is also the source of the manufactured commodity, tapioca. A small field planted with cassava can be insurance against famine, because the crop can be left in the ground for two or three years without deterioration of the tubers. But recent findings suggests that cassava may be responsible for birth defects. It has other serious disadvantages. The tubers consist almost entirely of starch and are particularly low in protein so dependence of cassava leads to serious malnutrition. To make matters worse, some varieties, when grown under certain poisonous to people and livestock if eaten raw. These have to be well-prepared for consumption by consumption prolonged and repeated boiling. The new danger has emerged over the past few years in Nigeria. Doctors have begun to suspect that cassava, if eaten in large amounts during pregnancy, may cause deformities in the developing fetus; there appears to be a correlation between or other neuronal malformations in their babies. 1. The topic of the text is '....' A. cassava, the source of various kinds of meals B. the advantages and disadvantages of cassava

REGIONAL II TAHUN 2004
Text I Scientist have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever walk the earth. The discovery was made by a team of researcher from Argentina in Patagonia, a dessert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Besides the interesting fact that the dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaur s were found together. This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest met eaters lived as loners and instead indicates that they may lived and hunted in packs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in North America and was believed to hunt and lived alone. The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Gigannotosaurus family, being as closely related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog. The fossilized remain indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago. With needle-shaped razor sharp teeth, they were larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs were slightly shorter, and their jaws were designed to be better able to cut the body of their prey pieces quickly and precisely. 1. The main information of the text is . (A) the discovery made in Patagonia (B) the research on dinosaurs (C) the bones of dinosaurs (D) the types of dinosaurs (E) the meat-eating dinosaur 2. The researchers found the bones of a new type of dinosaur in . (A) Argentina (B) North America (C) East Patagonia (D) The Andes forest (E) South America 3.

Text II People are often surprised to learn just how long some varieties of trees can live. If asked to estimate the age of the oldest living trees, they often come up with guesses in the neighbourhood of two to three hundred years. The real answer is considerably larger than that, more than five thousand years. The tree that wins the prize for its considerable maturity is the bristlecone pine of California. This venerable pine predates wonders of the ancient word such as the pyramids of Egypt and the Hanging garden of Babylon. It is not nearly as tall as the giant redwood, which is also from California, and in fact it is actually not very tall compared with many other trees, often little more than five metres in height. This relatively short height may be one of the factors that aid the bristlecone pine in living to a ripe old age high winds and inclement weather cannot easily reach the shorter trees and cause damage. An additional factor that contributes to the long life of the bristlecone pine is that it has a high percentage of resin, which prevents rot from developing in the tree trunk and branches. 6. The topic of the passage is ______ A. the size of the bristlecone pine B. three-hundred-year-old forests C. the wonders of the ancient world D. the oldest living tree E. the big trees in the world
7. The following contribute to the age of the bristlecone pine, except _ A. its short height B. its large amount of resin C. its ability to resist rotting D. its strong trunk E. its effect on the weather Text III Underlying all the complications of translation is the fundamental fact that languages differ a lot.

Text II Human beings, convinced of their superiority over the animal kingdom, are seldom disturbed about the pain and death they bring to other species. For example, South American birds, desired by zoos, pet shops, and private collections, are frequently packed into small boxes and flown to foreign countries. Many of the birds, however, do not survive the trip but instead die of suffocation. And birds are not the only victims. Hunters in search of baby orang utans shoot the mothers who are hiding in treetops and wait for the babies to fall to the ground. Many of the babies cannot be caught and fall to their death. Seals, prized for their skins, which make lovely winter coats, are brutally slaughtered by hunters who club and skin them almost immediately. Sometimes the seals are skinned alive because a hunter was not skilful with his club. 6. What is the topic of the text? A. The superiority of human beings B. Cruelty to animals C.
