Bali, the fabled "Island of the Gods", has been enchanting visitors for centuries with its rich cultural traditions
and spectacular panoramas. From lofty, mist enshrouded volcanoes and cool mountain lakes down through
terraced rice fields to a golden strand lapped by azure waters, every square inch of Bali offers a fresh and
unforgettable image.
No less enchanting are its people, some 2.7 million souls whose artistry and piety are recognized throughout
the world Balinese Hinduism, a complex fusion of Indian cosmology. Tantric Buddhism and homegrown
mythology, is the primary faith of Bali's inhabitants, and so deeply woven into the fabric of their daily lives that
the line between the spiritual and the material is blurry at best.
Those of you keen on delving into the island's fascinating culture will have plenty of opportunities, as colorful
ceremonies and traditional performances occur with regularity of sunrise. Most hotels offer nightly dance shows of
one form or another, tailored to tourist audiences but none the less exquisite. The hill town of Ubud, the island's
premier arts center, also has a full schedule of performance, and the nearby stone-cutter's village of Batubulan is
famed for its Barong lion dances. The shoppers among you will find Bali a treasure house of handicrafts and fine
works of art. The Balinese are incredibly gifted artists and craftsmen, and their material creations are imbued with
the same sense of wonderment with which they regard their universe. Stone and wood carvings, traditional and
modern paintings and intricately designed jewelry in gold and silver are readily in shops and galleries throughout
the island.
As for recreation, there is no shortage of option. Nature walks, horseback riding, diving, surfing, even bungy
jumping, and white water rafting await the adventurous here.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
Many people see large urban cities as a wonder of human imagination and creativity. They represent how far
the human population has come in terms of community development. Many positive things come from
urbanization, but there are also negatives. This article will discuss and present data on the implications of
urbanization on the physical health of humans living in these large urban areas.
As it would be expected, developing countries tend to see more negative physical health effects than modern
countries in regard to urbanization. One example of a developing country experiencing these problems is China.
China is a country that in the past 30–40 years went from being an agrarian based society to a significant
industrialized country. This industrialization has in effect caused the need for more centralized cities, centralized
meaning having lots of jobs and living spaces within a close proximity. This is what is known as urbanization. In
most recent decades, since China’s change to being more of an industrial based economy, the country has
experienced record high numbers of people migrating within its borders. In effect, the number of cities with over
500,000 people has more than doubled. These migrations are typically of people from rural areas of China moving
to the new urban areas. Due to this large influx in the urban population, there are many possibilities for health
challenges among these people.
One very common and fairly obvious negative aspect of highly congested urban areas is air pollution. Air
pollution is defined as any harmful substance being suspended in the air. This could include particulate matter,
most commonly attributed to industrial plants and refineries waste, or chemicals like CO2 or Methane (which are
also products of plants and refineries as well as cars and other modes of transportation). Due to a vast number of
people in these urbanized cities, the air pollution is known to be very extreme. These conditions can lead to many
different health problems such as: Asthma, cardiovascular problems or disease, and different types of cancer (most
commonly lung cancer). When exposed to these conditions for a prolonged period of time, one can experience
even more detrimental health effects like: the acceleration of aging, loss of lung capacity and health, being more
susceptible to respiratory diseases, and a shortened life span.
Another way that urbanization affects the populations’ health is people’s change in diet. For instance, urban
cities tend to have lots of accessible, quick, and easy to get food. This food is also more than likely not as high
quality as well as contains a large amount of sodium and sugar. Because this food is so accessible, people tend to
eat it more. This increase in consumption of low quality food can then lead to diabetes, hypertension, heart
disease, obesity, or many other health conditions.
(Adapted from https://medium.com)
44. Which of the following could be served as the best title for the passage?
A. Urbanization – Pros and cons
B. Urbanization – How people’s health is impacted?
C. Urban cities – The new opportunity for community development
D. Developing countries – The fastest urbanization
45. What does the phrase “these problems” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. industrialized countries B. lots of jobs and living spaces

A. beneficial B. positive C. harmful D. dangerous
48. The following are the air pollution sources mentioned in paragraph 3, EXCEPT _______.
A. industrial factories B. refineries waste C. chemicals D. sewage
49. Why are urban populations easy to get diseases from food, according to the last paragraph?
A. Because of the low quality and the high proportion of sodium and sugar in this food.
B. Because the way people get this food is rather accessible, quick and easy.
C. Because this food is so delicious that people have a tendency to eat more than normal.
D. Because of the change in people’s diet.
50. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Living in urban areas for a long time will make the life expectancy of inhabitants shorten.

C. People in developed countries suffer less harmful health effects from urbanization than those in developing
nations.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this water first
thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body temperature; neither too
hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your kidneys. It
prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After drinking water, the
intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps us go to the bathroom more easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don’t drink all of that water in
one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It’s better to drink some in the
morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better to drink between meals and not during meals.
They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs. This can interfere with normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you are
probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. A little more
water each day could make you much healthier.
(Adapted from Reading Challenge 1 by Casey Malarcher and Andrea Janzen)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
Plastic bags are used by everybody. From a vegetable vendor to a designer store, everyone seems to use them.
Even though they are one of the modern conveniences that we seem to be unable to do without, they are
responsible for causing pollution, killing wildlife, and using up the precious resources of the Earth. But, most of us
are blissfully unaware of the repercussions that are occurring and will take place in the future because of the
plastic bags.
Every once in a while, the government passes out an order banning store owners from providing plastic bags
to customers for carrying their purchases, with little lasting effect. Plastic bags are very popular with both retailers
as well as consumers because they are cheap, strong, lightweight, functional, as well as a hygienic means of
carrying food as well as other goods. About a hundred billion plastic bags are used every year in the U.S. alone.
And then, when one considers the huge economies and populations of India, China, Europe, and other parts of the
world, the numbers can be staggering. The problem is further exacerbated by the developed countries shipping off
their plastic waste to developing countries like India.
Once they are used, most bags go into landfills. Each year, more and more bags are ending up littering the
environment. Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way into our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets.
And, if they are burned, they infuse the air with toxic fumes. About 100,000 animals, such as dolphins, turtles,
whales, penguins are killed every year due to these bags. Many animals ingest plastic bags, mistaking them for
food, and therefore, die. And worse, the ingested plastic bag remains intact even after the death and
decomposition of the animal. Thus, it lies around in the landscape where another victim may ingest it. One of the
worst environmental effects is that they are non-biodegradable. The decomposition takes about 400 years. No one
will live so long to witness the decomposition of plastic! Thus, save the environment for the future generations as
well as animals.
Petroleum products are diminishing and getting more expensive by the day, since we have used this non-
renewable resource increasingly. And to make plastic, about 60-100 million barrels of oil are needed every year
around the world. Surely, this precious resource should not be wasted on producing plastic bags, should it?
Petroleum is vital for our modern way of life. It is necessary for our energy requirements - for our factories,
transportation, heating, lighting, and so on. Without viable alternative sources of energy yet on the horizon, if the
supply of petroleum were to be turned off, it would lead to practically the entire world grinding to a halt.
So, what can be done? A tote bag can make a good substitute for carrying groceries and the shopping. You
can keep the bag with the cashier, and then put your purchases into it instead of the usual plastic bag. Recycling
the bags you already have is another good idea. These can come into use for various purposes, like holding your
garbage, instead of purchasing new ones. While governments may be working out ways to lessen the impact of
plastic bags on the environment; however, each of us should shoulder some of the responsibility for this problem,
which ultimately harms us. Plastics are not only non-biodegradable, but are one of the major pollutants of the sea.
For a clean and green environment, try to use alternatives to plastic whenever and wherever possible. Cut down
your use of plastic, and do your bit to save our planet.
