Questions number 1-4 refer to the following text.

Biodiesel is a clean burning substitute for petroleumbased diesel fuel. Biodiesel is made of
vegetable oil.
To make or manufacture Biodiesel, you must first start with raw materials. The raw materials
needed in the production of Biodiesel are a small amount of methanol and a ready supply of
vegetable product. One of the most common vegetables used in the production of Biodiesel is corn,
although depending on the geographic location of the manufacturing facility many other plants are
used as well (rapeseed, soybeans, flaxseed, etc.). The first step is to use the raw vegetable
product to make vegetable oil. Vegetable oil by itself will not be what you need to power a car, from
here it has to be processed into Biodiesel.
The process for converting vegetable oil into Biodiesel is sometimes called ester interchange. To
complete this process the vegetable oil has to be combined with a smaller amount of methanol and
then put in the presence of a small quantity of an alkaline catalyst (for example, 5% to 1% sodium
hydroxide). Vegetable oil is made up of so-called triglycerides, which is a compound of the trivalent
alcohol glycerine with three fatty acids. The goal of ester interchange is to separate the glycerine
molecule from the three fatty acids and replace it with three methanol molecules. This process then
yields roughly 90% Biodiesel and 10% of a glycerine by product. The glycerine by product can be
used in a number of other chemical processes for different industries.

Questions number 5-7 refer to the following text.

A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It
usually causes great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured
or died. Some people are homeless and need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto
the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms
that last for a brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If
the surrounding land is flat and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however,
the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a
river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.
In many parts of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or
typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When
a flood occurs, the destruction to surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and
towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad track
blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the
pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side,
they formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of
water from to hand to be poured on the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a
small village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often
destroyed whole blocks and neighbourhoods before being controlled. (Soal UN SMA/MA

Questions number 8-11 refer to the following text.

The sense of taste is one of a person’s five senses. We taste with the help of taste-buds in
the tongue.
There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other tastes are just
mixtures of two or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are
connected to the brain by special nerves which send the so-called ‘tastes messages.
When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will pick up the
taste. The nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste.
All this happens in just a few seconds.
There are four kinds of taste-buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular taste.
These four groups are located in different parts of the tongue.
The taste-buds for salty and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue and along
its sides. Sour tastes can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste-buds of
the bitter taste are found at the innermost edge of the tongue. There are taste-buds at the
centre of the tongue.
The senses of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its taste.
Similarly, attractive colours can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does
not smell good or is dull-coloured, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all.
Very hot or cold sensations can make the taste-buds insensitive. Food that is too hot or too
cold, when placed in the mouth, will have no tastes at all.

Questions number 12-15 refer to the following text.

Teks Explanation 8
A cell phone is a great gadget in this modern world. What is a cell phone? A cell phone is
actually a radio in certain way. Like a radio, by a cell phone we can communicate to other
people in real time. Million people use cell phone for their communication. Even nowadays,
people use cell phones to communicate in voice, written and data. Alexander Graham Bell
is the person who make great change in the way people communicate to each other. He
invented a telephone in 1876. While wireless radio was formally known in 18994 presented
by Guglielmo Marconi. By these two technologies, then a cell phone was born. However do
you know how actually cell phones work?
This short explanation on how a cell phone work is really wonderful. A cell phone or in long
term “cellular telephone’ works by transmitting signals of radio to towers of cellular. The
towers are networked to a central switching station. The connection usually uses wire, fibre
optic-cables, or microwave.
Then the central switching station which handles calls in certain given area is directed
connected to the wire-based telephone system. Cellulars are pick up by the towers and
relayed to another cellular telephone user or the user of wire-based telephone network.
the towers vary in the capacity and capability to receive signals. Some can receive the
signal from short distance and the others can receive more distance. However, there are
usually more than one tower in certain given area so that the system can handle the
increasing telephone traffic.
