The following text is for questions 26 to 29.

Kapoposang

Kapoposang is one of the largest of the Spermonde Islands, around 70 km northwest of

Makassar, South Sulawesi. It covers an area of around 50,000 hectares and is inhabited by around
100 families. Several other islands, both inhabited and uninhabited, lie near Kapoposang.
Kapoposang and the nearby islands were declared a Nature Tourism Park by the Department
of Forestry in 1999. Diving has been an important activity at Kapoposang since the mid 1990s.
There were so few local divers at the time, and because of the distance from other well-known
diving areas in Indonesia, Kapoposang has basically remained a secret.
The best time to visit Kapoposang is between April and November, when the seas are calm,
the weather is favorable, and the wind is less fierce than in the other months. The trip takes two
hours by speedboat; the ocean breezes help to cool your skin in the hot morning sun. As you
approach Kapoposang island, you see the deep blue water, which suddenly meets an expanse of
coral reefs between extensive shallows with white sands in the seabed. Sea grass also grows lushly
near the shore. The sea bed at Kapoposang has a unique composition; near the island are some
quite shallow contours, and then suddenly steep underwater cliffs leading to seemingly endless
depths. The water is very clear; you can expect underwater visibility of over 15 meters – ideal
conditions for divers.

A. promote a nature tourism destination in Sulawesi

her for he wanted to go with his mother. The mother in order to calm the child said, "Hush, I'll be

you would. Now you have to keep that promise. The child is small but he has a mind, and will imitate
you. Today we must kill a pig otherwise we will indirectly teach him how to cheat people. And if he

The following text is for questions 40 to 43.

Thunder sounds like an explosion. Lightning causes thunder. The sound comes from air that
suddenly gets very hot.
A bolt of lightning can make the air around it as hot as 18,000° Fahrenheit (10,000° Celsius).
That’s hotter than the surface of the Sun! The hot air rushes away from the lightning bolt. The air
rushing away makes the loud sound of thunder.
You often hear the thunder after you see a bolt of lightning. The farther away the lightning is,
the longer it takes for you to hear the thunder. You can tell how far away the lightning is. You can
count the seconds between the lightning and the sound of the thunder it makes. Sound travels about
1 mile (about 1.6 kilometers) every 5 seconds. If you count slowly to 5 and hear thunder, the
lightning bolt was about 1 mile away. If you count to 15 before you hear thunder, the lightning bolt
was 3 miles away.

The following text is for questions 44 to 46.

Echidnas are egg-laying mammals. The short-nosed echidna found in Australia is about 35 to 53
cm (about 14 to 21 in) long, exclusive of a short tail, and has a broad body mounted upon short, strong
legs. The legs have powerful claws, adapting the animal for rapid digging into hard ground. The back
is covered with stiff spines mixed with long, coarse hairs. The head is small, and the nose is prolonged
into a slender snout. The toothless mouth has an extensible and glutinous tongue suitable for catching
ants, termites, and other small insects. Mating occurs once a year. Echidna is one of only two mammals
(the platypus is the other) that lay eggs. The female lays one egg, or rarely two eggs, after a gestation
period of 9 to 27 days. The female then places the egg in a pouch like area of abdominal skin, where it
hatches after about 10 to 11 days. The offspring is carried in the pouch until it is about 55 days old,
when it becomes able to walk. A somewhat larger subspecies of the short-nosed echidna is native to
Tasmania. The New Guinean echidna has a long, curved snout and grows as long as 75 cm (30 in). In
locations where ants and termites are abundant, the smaller echidnas make useful pets; they are long-
lived and, despite their bristly coat, are gentle in disposition.

B. common
C. unique

The following text is for questions 47 to 50.

Once, a lion, a fox, a jackal and a wolf went hunting together. They looked for their prey and killed
a deer. After they discussed their death prey, the lion asked to divide the deer into four equal shares.
Then, the other three animals skinned and cut it into four.
Just when each animal was about to take his portion, the lion stopped them. “Wait” roared the lion.
“Since I am a member of this hunting party, the first quarter would be mine. Then, as I am also the king
of beasts, I am to receive the second share. Since I am known for my courage and strength, I am to
receive the third share. As for the fourth share, if you wish to argue with me about its ownership, let’s
begin, and we will see who will get it”.
The wolf got angry but the lion was ready. So, he raised his mighty paw and struck the wolf on the
head. The wolf’s skull was cracked and he died at the same moment. The jackal ran, once he saw the
tragedy. He thought of a bad fate that may happen to him.
